UPDATE: Some bizarre backtracking from the 1st CD Republicans. Who the hell knows what goes on in Crabill Land™.

I’m Surrounded by Idiots:
On July 13, 2009, the First Congressional District Committee contributed $1,500 to Crabill’s campaign. On August 24, 2009, ten days after Bob […]

July 1, 2006….Is it the definite HAP “cutoff”?

By From http://fredericksburgrealestateblog.com • Sep 16th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local, RealEstate.Local

The HAP programis a very important program for a large portion of the Fredericksburg real estate market, simply because we have such a large military population in our area.  What we are finding is that unfortunately many military service members know very little about the HAP program, and most Realtors know even less.  As a result […]

Charlie Diradour Challenging Eric Cantor in the 7th

By From http://fred2blue.com • Sep 15th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

That’s why this high-profile challenge  from Charlie Diradour, […]

Dear Mr. Watson,
At its June meeting the committee authorized $1,500.00 to each of the three challengers running  either against an incumbent or for an open seat in the district.

How long should it take to get a contract on a short sale in the Fredericksburg real estate market?

I heard another incredible story today.  I spoke with a seller who has been attempting to sell her home for the last 3+ years.  Yes, I said more than three years.  For the last 6 or 7 months this home has been for sale as a short sale.  In examining the situation, there is clearly […]
