Have you ever tried to get a solid answer on what school district a home in Charles County is zoned for? Typically you had to call the Board of Education, wait on hold, give them the address, wait for them to look it up, and start all over again with each property. It’s a frustrating [...]

Up until now, renters could be forcibly evicted from their home after a foreclosure occurred, often without any warning whatsoever.

For the savvy investor there is a big opportunity to make a nice chuck of change, particularly in Waldorf, but it’s not as easy as Flip This House makes it seem. Selling a home is still tough in this [...]

What long time Southern Maryland resident DOESN’T remember the old Walls Bakery in Waldorf, Maryland? I recall going there as a kid, getting eclairs the size of my head and driving my parents bonkers with the ensuing sugar rush.

Wow, if you’re looking to buy a home in southern Maryland, P.G. County, waldorf, etc, rates are sitting as low as 5.375% right now! It’s possible that they may go even lower! This should encourage more people to consider locking in a loan if they’ve been on the fence about the home market. I’m curious [...]
