November, 2009:
Jamieson Condos
The Jamieson is located near the heart of Alexandria VA’s Carlyle District. The United States Patent and Trademark Office is right around the corner, as is the Albert V. Bryan U.S. Courthouse. The Carlyle District is home to respected and admired developments like Carlyle Towers and the Royalton. The Jamieson fits in nicely with the brick high-rises of the Carlyle District, but the Jamieson is also uniquely different from other nearby condos and homes.
The Jamieson differs from neighboring condos because it’s the only condo in the 22314 zip code that is situated atop a hotel. That’s right: the Jamieson is sited directly atop the Westin Alexandria Hotel. And this unique setting confers a number of distinct advantages.

Residents at the Jamieson have access to many of the services offered by The Westin Alexandria. Hotel staff can assist with everyday chores, and visitors can stay in a guest suite just a few floors below the condominium residences of the Jamieson. The amenities of the building include:
Swimming Pool- Rooftop Terrace (pictured above)
- Reserved Parking
- Valet Parking
- Maid Service
- Catering
The building is unique, but the units themselves have the quality and details that shoppers in the Carlyle District have come to expect in most homes in this neighborhood:
- Rich, hardwood floors in living/dining rooms
- Elegant tile floors in bathrooms and kitchen
- Granite countertops and vanities
- Stainless steel appliances
- Reserved parking
- Expansive windows many with beautiful views

Dad, what do you do all day?
When I come home exhausted it’s tough to remember (much less explain) what the heck I did all day.

A lot of times, I answer calls. I get calls from renters who want to rent condos and townhouses. I get calls from buyers who want to make appointments or who just have questions. I talk to landlords who use our property management services.

Sometimes I really don’t know the answer. But when I don’t know the answer, I don’t make it up. I do my research and then I get back to my client.

Sometimes I get the call that lets me know that the contract went through. We got it! But sometimes I find out there’s a hitch or a catch. That’s when my Priceline Negotiator comes out.

That means it’s time for some tough negotiating. It’s never fun to do that part.

Yes, there are some bumps in the road, but it always works out the way it’s supposed to. When I call back my clients and tell them that every thing is going to be great, I feel proud and satisfied.
My wife snapped this series of pictures while I was working this morning. When I saw how they turned out I laughed hard and decided to change my blog banner!
