I hope you have enjoyed your visit to my blog site. Although it is primarily a Real Estate Web Blog, I do also try to incorporate information, photography and articles on what sets this beautiful region of Virginia apart from all others and also share snippets from my own life. If you are interested in buying or selling real estate, in the Commonwealth of Virginia, I primarily serve all of Eastern Virginia, Central Virginia and the entire Chesapeake Bay Region and Northern Neck of Virginia! As a member of six mls’s, I make it my business to know the market in each area.
My real estate brokerage is William E. Wood in Williamsburg, Virginia - quite simply we are "The best in the business". If you have visited Williamsburg and wish to purchase a home in Williamsburg, or an estate, equestrian, waterfront or country property in Tidewater, Virginia - please don't hesitate to give me a call or email me at karinandrewsrealestate@williamewood.com.
Additionally, if you are selling, I have recent sales of historic estates and country properties that speak volumes about my committment to serve my clients regarding the advertising and sale of their property, from listing through closing.
I'd be delighted to talk with you regarding your real estate needs.
I am an expert in buying, selling, staging, photography, copywriting and so much more.
Recently, I received this beautiful recommendation from Craig and Zorine Shirley, who purchased Ben Lomond in Essex County, Virginia in the 4th quarter of 2014. It is in the Top 10 of all property sales, in 2014 in the Middle Peninsula Region. I represented the Sellers but have loved getting to know the buyers, Craig and Zorine. They have become cherished friends and are a dynamic couple, who will be amazing stewards of this crown jewel estate on the Upper Middle Peninsula of Virginia. The following is what they have written about me, which means so much on a professional and personal level. This is who I am.
“Karin Andrews is unlike any realtor we’ve ever worked with before. What started out as a professional relationship quickly became a warm friendship. A kind and thoughtful woman, she is a person of remarkable talents who enthralled us with her working knowledge of Ben Lomond and all of Essex County. She is, in the words of the Old South, a truly Great Lady.”
Warmly,
Craig and Zorine Shirley
Come on in the Rappahannock and the Water is fine!
Earlier this month, I represented buyer clients from out of state, in their search for a historic waterfront home that met their needs as a private home they could eventually retire to, while using it as a Vacation Rental By Owner in the meantime. It was my pleasure and honor to assist them in listening to their needs, wants and previewing properties on their behalf. The opportunity to not only meet the needs of my clients but also make new friends is one of the very best parts of my profession. The listing agent also was a joy to work with and offered great cooperation. I am hoping we will have another one coming down the road in the near future.
Virginia is known for her dogwoods so much so that it is the Commonwealth’s state flower. In full bloom with their brachts unfurled, they are truly Exhuberant Icons of the Spring Landscape. I hope you will enjoy my article printed in the April/May edition of the House and Home Magazine.
My husband picked these Lilacs for me one evening after a long day, while up on the farm at Rexburg. He brought them home, where I arranged them in an elegant silver urn, so fitting for these regal blooms. Ahh. . .the pleasures of Spring.
Earlier this week, my work took me through Fauquier County and into Winchester. I am still in awe, looking back this week at the beauty that is Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, in the Spring.
It has been a cool but enchanted spring throughout our great Commonwealth, from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Chesapeake Bay!
The photo below is of a lovely pink dogwood in full bloom set against an elegant portico, in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley.
Ben Lomond Circa 1730 is a home that I have loved and cared for here in Essex County, Virginia. Through murals and exquisite detailing that I did in the house many years ago, I was honored also to represent the sellers, when they decided to bring Ben Lomond on the Market again. A well qualified buyer came forward to purchase the estate property of their dreams and the sellers were able to have peace of mind, knowing that Ben Lomond’s legacy would be carried on and enhanced with the new owners. She truly is a property without comparison and is nestled in the center of a pastoral, scenic landscape. Ben Lomond has been featured in many historical and important architectural books throughout the years.

Real Estate is busy right now, working with out of state and regional buyers as well as sellers. As you may know, Ben Lomond, Circa 1730 was sold in October of 2014 and now has wonderful new owners to carry its great legacy forward. I am busy with home inspections, showings, inquiries from buyers agents and also working through home inspection contingencies for my buyers. The spring market is very promising.
Please feel free to contact me if I can help you with your real estate needs.
Stay tuned for my re-cap of the Luxury and Estate Market for 2014. Some predictable news and some surprises. Will be posting soon.
I had a good year in real estate sales, representing buyers and sellers. Also had one of the largest non-waterfront estate closings in the entire Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula.
