Happy Valentines Day to You and Yours!

I was cruelly led to believe when I was young that Valentines Day was reserved ONLY for those closest to us. That it was weird to wish strangers or acquaintances a Happy Valentines Day. That would be equal to telling them I love them. But aren’t we suppose to love others?

Of course I’m bringing up Valentines because its February, the month for Valentines, and it’s a BIG deal… bigger than just flowers or dinner with that special someone. I may have shared this story with you before but when my wife and I were planning our wedding, she suggested we reveal to all in attendance words that would convey our LOVE for each other.

Some of those words included: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres.

When you read these words, it sure sounds like love is NOT reserved for just those close to us but rather it’s a verb lived out on and for others. Others being anyone and everyone. I’m so proud of my team for buying in to and adapting in action LOVE towards clients, prospects, vendors and even our competition. I’m confident this is why we have been recognized as the real estate sales team others measure themselves by.

So the secret to our success is pretty much summed up in this months newsletter theme: L-O-V-E. Not as a noun, but as a VERB. In fact, when we find ourselves with a decision to make, it’s pretty much impossible to go wrong filtering through this question: What does love require of me?

We do love helping people sell and buy the place they call home. We love helping our past clients (who are never really past clients) increase their wealth investing in real estate. We love giving a portion of our income and time to Worthy Causes. I love watching team members grow both personally and professionally. I love competitors as it makes us better at helping others get what they want. And people say we are better than good at doing just that! And we work each day to SHOW love toward everyone. It is what is required of us (our belief system).

Also, as you know, we love making guarantees! Like our Buyer Satisfaction Guarantee: Love the home or we’ll buy it back! Or our Seller Guarantee: Your Home Sold or We’ll Buy It! And we guarantee that a portion of our income WILL go to a very worthy cause like… 

A Real Estate Company That Gives Back!

We are on a mission to raise $5,000 for Fairfax Children’s Hospital. We do this by donating to them a portion of our income from homes we sell. As you know Children’s Hospital of Fairfax does awesome work in helping kids fight through and survive nasty life threatening diseases like cancer, Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, leukemia and others. They also lead the way in early diagnosis of Autism and rapid recovery from spinal cord injuries. Most don’t know though that Children’s is a non-profit, so they depend on sponsorships and donations to provide their world class care and keep costs for families of these beautiful kids to a minimum. So when you or anyone you know does business with us, not only do we deliver on our award-winning service, you can rest assured a very worthy cause benefits as well.

If you or anyone you know is considering selling, give me a call or pass on my number. Thank you in advance for your referrals! My number is 571-748-7360.

The Carlos Pichardo Team at CAP Real Estate toured the facilities of the Fairfax Children Hospital run by Inova's.
It was an amazing experience seeing first hand what is being done for the kids at this hospital. We then provided our check to help with their mission, see our picture below, thanks to our past clients' business since we give part of our earnings to this charity. 
For every house we sell this year, we are donating a portion of our income to help kids at this hospital. So, YOUR REFERRALS HELP THE KIDS! 



Over the years of helping hundreds of families sell or buy the place they call home, we have met some wonderful, loving, caring people. People like you! And, referrals of those you know considering buying or selling will reveive the award winning service we are known for and the beautiful kids at Fairfax Children’s Hospital will benefit as well.

I want to make it easy to refer your friends, neighbors, associates or family members considering making a move, so here are your options: 
   1. You can call me direct at 571-748-7360 or pass on my number.
   2.  You can go to capreferrals.com and enter their contact info online or forward the link to who you know considering a move.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
