Neighborhood Spotlight is a recurring column covering both the City of Alexandria and Alexandria in Fairfax County. This monthly column is sponsored and written by the Seward Group of TTR Sotheby’s International Realty.
Let’s start with History. Did you know Alexandria’s charming Cameron Station neighborhood formerly served as the site of a US Army facility (known as Cameron Station) until the late 1980’s? The land was vacated by the Defense Logistics Agency (and the Defense Contract Audit Agency) and then in 1999 construction of this popular planned community started.
Question: What is all this talk about waiving contingencies? It seems unfair.
Answer: If you’re a buyer now, or will be in the near future, you may be asking yourself, “do I really have to risk so much to win a home?” I challenge you instead think of it this way, “what strategies can I implement to reduce risk and position myself to win a home?” In our market of multiple offers, escalated costs, and the practice of waiving “everything,” it can feel like you, the buyer, are taking all the risk. However, the risk to you can shrink if you come in with a good, solid strategy.

Question: Do I need to renovate in order to sell?
Answer: Home Sellers are bombarded these days with offers to buy their homes, ways to renovate to get the highest offer, and how to obtain the absolute highest price. It can be confusing, even paralyzing — the answer is a resounding “it depends.”

Truck accidents have become common occurrences on roads. Accidents involving trucks are usually fatal, especially when the collision involves smaller vehicles. Most of the injuries in truck accidents are sustained by occupants of smaller vehicles.
“It is easy to assume that accidents involving trucks are entirely the fault of the truck drivers. However, most times, drivers of smaller vehicles share as much in the blame,” says Attorney Jim Hurley of Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers. According to statistics released by the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) of the US Transportation Department, the number of people who died from truck crashes in 2019 was 4,119. 67 percent were occupants of other vehicles and cars; 15 percent were motorcyclists, pedestrians, and bicyclists; while 16 percent were truck drivers and other truck occupants.

“Personal injury law cases are one of the most common types of lawsuits filed in America. Yet, most of these cases settle outside the courts and mostly favor the plaintiff. According to a report by Cornell Law, around 95.8% of automobile insurance cases end up settling rather than going to court. However, knowing and reporting the exact figures is not possible due to client-attorney confidentiality in the USA.” says Maxwell Paderewski, personal injury lawyer, Lone Star Injury Attorneys
If you are looking to hire a reliable advocate for your case, you should ask the attorney about the success rate of their firm and the settlement history of similar cases that they fought.
