Seminars For Seniors

Seminars for Seniors

Held in Northern Virginia

I periodically offer FREE educational seminars designed for people over age 55.

These popular FREE seminars are in their 11th year. The programs are held at convenient locations in Northern Virgina, and they typically include continental breakfast and door prizes!

The seminars discuss topics including the current market conditions and what you need to do to prepare your home for sale in that market and attract buyers.

Please contact me for information regarding dates and times for upcoming seminars. I will post specifics here on the website when the dates are established.

The following information pertains to the seminar I presented in the Spring of 2008. Future seminars will include similar topics.
