    I have called northern Virginia home for more than 36 of my 72 years. If not a Virginia native, I am very much a Virginian. For the past 19 years, my mission has been to help people realize their dreams through the sale or purchase of real estate and to assist them as their goals change through the various stages in their lives.

    Whether your immediate goal is the sale of a home you have outgrown, a home filled with treasured memories prior to retirement, an inherited property, or an investment property, I will strive to make you feel as though you are a member of a larger real estate “family.” On a scale of 1 to 10, I want your experience working with me to be a 20. Because my business is built on referrals, I want to serve you in such a way that you will be delighted enough to refer your friends and family to me for years to come.

    Thinking of selling a townhome? You will receive the same treatment I would provide to someone selling a multi-million dollar estate. Not only will a professional photographer help me showcase the property, we will create a floorplan, a virtual tour, and a short video walk-through. Aerial photographs will be taken of the home and surrounding neighborhood to highlight any community amenities. This material will be wrapped into a dedicated website, and featured on all major real estate portals, Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube so as to provide maximum exposure for your property.

    Experience

    Over the past 19 years, I have helped families prosper regardless of whether the housing market was balanced, putting a premium on negotiation, or skewed so as to provide disproportionate bargaining power to buyers or sellers. I’ve helped investors thrive when buying and flipping, as well as when buying and holding properties for rental. Through life’s most difficult transitions like probate, divorce, and downsizing, I have guided clients through the process, allowing them to get on to the next chapter.

    Expertise

    The National Association of Realtors recognizes me as a Seller Representative Specialist, a Seniors Real Estate Specialist, a Certified International Property Specialist, a Real Estate Negotiating Expert, an Accredited Buyer’s Representative, a Military Relocation Professional, a Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource, and a Green Realtor.

    Through the Residential Real Estate Council I have earned its Luxury Home, Divorce Specialist, Probate Specialist, and Residential Listing Certifications. I’m a Certified Investor Agent Specialist and a member of the Luxury Home Marketing Institute.

    Excellence

    As someone who looks at the housing market through the lens of a trained statistician, I am in a unique position to assist sellers in setting their listing price and buyers in deciding an offer price. Those that have given me the privilege of listing their homes over the past 19 years have on average garnered 99.5% of the agreed upon list price, regardless of market conditions.

I break down exactly what you must know when dealing with the probate process in this situation. And trust me, navigating probate in Virginia when a small business is involved gets a lot more complicated than a typical estate. We’re not just talking about distributing personal belongings here—there are things like managing ongoing operations, understanding the business’s legal structure, and figuring out what the future of that business looks like. In the video, I walk you through the key steps: from identifying how the business was set up, to reviewing the estate plan, and even evaluating whether the business should continue or be sold. I also cover the really important stuff, like checking out business documents, getting a professional valuation, and handling debts and taxes. And yeah, it can get messy. I talk about the common pitfalls—like not having a solid plan in place or family drama that flares up. That’s why I always recommend working with a pro when navigating probate in Virginia when a small business is involved. If you’re a business owner, or helping settle a loved one’s estate, understanding what you must know now can save you a lot of stress later.

    Are you thinking about moving to Northern Virginia? Deciding whether to sell as-is or renovate your home during a divorce can feel overwhelming—especially when emotions are high and the clock is ticking. As a certified divorce specialist, I’ve helped many couples in Northern Virginia navigate this tough decision. Do you fix things up or just walk away and sell it as-is? I’ll walk you through the pros and cons of both options. Renovating might boost your sale price, but can you both agree on the budget, time, and effort it takes? On the flip side, selling as-is might get the job done faster, but could leave money on the table. In this Divorce Home Sale Guide, I explain how each path affects your finances, stress levels, and timeline—plus, how it all ties into your divorce settlement. Whether you’re in Fairfax Virginia, Arlington Virginia, or Alexandria Virginia, this video is designed to give you real, no-fluff advice so you and your spouse can make a decision that feels right. I also talk about the importance of working with a trusted real estate agent and financial advisor so nothing falls through the cracks. If you’re thinking about moving to Northern Virginia, be sure to give me a call, shoot me a text, send me an email, or schedule a Zoom call.

    Are you thinking about moving to Northern Virginia? How To Protect Your Home From Medicaid Liens In Virginia is something every homeowner or soon-to-be homeowner in Virginia needs to know—especially if you’re planning for long-term care. I know this stuff can feel super overwhelming, but I’m here to break it down in a way that actually makes sense. If you or a loved one might need Medicaid to help with nursing home care down the line, you have to understand how Medicaid can place a lien on your home after death to recover costs. Your house is likely your biggest asset, and losing it to a Medicaid lien can be a heartbreaking and avoidable mistake. In this video, I’m sharing how to protect your home from Medicaid liens in Virginia by going over common strategies like gifting property, setting up a life estate, or putting your home in an irrevocable trust. But—these moves come with risks, especially if you don’t plan ahead. The 5-year look-back period is no joke, and one wrong move can cost you big time. I’ll also talk about avoiding these costly mistakes when it comes to things like long-term care insurance, the Virginia homestead exemption, and special rules that might protect a community spouse. This stuff is complicated, but with the right help, you can keep your home safe. Watch this before making any big decisions!

    Are you thinking about moving to Northern Virginia? Going through a divorce is hard enough... but trying to sell your home during a divorce? That can feel impossible. I’m Dwight Morris with NOVA Real Estate, and as a certified divorce specialist, I’ve seen firsthand how things can spiral when there's no clear plan. That’s why I always recommend a Pre-Sale Agreement before you even list your home. In this video, I’m breaking down why you need a Pre-Sale Agreement before selling your home—especially if you're in the middle of a divorce. This isn’t just paperwork. It’s a real game-changer. This legally binding document can help you and your soon-to-be-ex get on the same page about everything—choosing the agent, deciding on the listing price, figuring out repairs and staging, and agreeing on how offers will be handled. Most importantly, it outlines how the money will be split when the sale is done. Having a Pre-Sale Agreement in place means fewer fights, less stress, and way more control. You’re making clear decisions ahead of time, before emotions take over. It also helps keep legal costs down and can even speed up the entire divorce process. If you're divorcing, don’t wait until it’s too late—talk to your attorney and get this agreement in place ASAP. If you’re thinking about moving to Northern Virginia be sure to give me a call, shoot me a text, send me an email, or schedule a Zoom call.
