If you’re looking to buy a home in Northern Virginia, make sure you’re looking for the ghost – the ghost inventory, that is!
With today’s market conditions & extremely low inventory, it’s more important than ever for Buyers to work with well-connected agents who typically sell a lot of homes in the area you’re looking in. Why? A lot of homes are selling without ever coming on the market! We call this “ghost inventory”.
Just this past weekend, The Belt Team sold ANOTHER home before it ever hit the MLS. The Sellers have lived in their home for 23 years & are happy to get a great price on their home without the hassle of staging, prepping & showing the house over & over. And the Buyers are over the moon to find their dream home without the stress of falling in love & losing out to a higher bidder.

This is not an isolated case. In fact, we just were notified Friday about a review posted on independent review site Zillow.com and our clients Ben & Sai Apfelbaum also happened to mention how valuable it was that they were able to get into properties before they came on the market.

Here’s what they said:
“My husband and I worked with Kevin Kleifges of Keller Williams Realty’s BELT Team for almost four months as our buyer agent from the start of our search through move in to our new home. Kevin possesses great real estate agent qualities. Kevin knows the area (for us – Vienna / Tysons / Falls Church), is very professional, and has a lot of experience in the industry. In a market with limited inventory, he has a lot of connections with other agents in the area and was able to get us in early to look at new listings or even houses that had not yet been posted. Kevin always accommodated our schedule, including showing us listings in the worst inclement weather. He helped us successfully get a contract signed in a competitive market by crafting an offer that optimized the needs of all parties. He did a great job helping us to resolve the few problems we encountered with the house and the seller’s agent. (The seller’s agent did not demonstrate the same class or integrity). Everything ran smoothly from start to finish. We appreciated the ease of working with Keller Williams. They use electronic signature so we could just sign the contracts and addendums which is so convenient. We also received a friendly reminder emails from his office suggesting the actionable items we need to do at closing and before we moved in. I am really glad that we worked with him and all of the people in his office. In addition to the work of Keller Williams Realty, Kevin presented strong connections, including quality loan officer, home inspector and repair contractors (although I ended up using my own loan officer for the purchase). His inspector came with many years of experience and identified several issues that others would have missed, which saved us time, money and headache down the road. In summary, I would highly recommend working with Kevin and his team if you are looking for expertise, loyalty, and trust in your realtor.”
