Why People Love Franklin Glen

I don't just sell homes in Franklin Glen, I live here. Over the years I have served on the Lees Corner Elementary PTA board, a Franklin Glen community committee and the swim team board. What makes Franklin Glen special is the people. There are events all year, a swim team that brings families together every summer, and neighbors who look out for each other. It is the kind of place where people put down roots.

Homes and the Market

Franklin Glen offers both single-family homes and townhomes, most built between about 1984 and 1987. The single-family homes are mostly colonials with two-car garages on established lots with mature trees. The townhomes give buyers a lower-maintenance way into the neighborhood with the same pool, paths and community.

What Clients Say

"We couldn't have found a better realtor than Cristina Dougherty to handle the sale of our house in the Franklin Glen neighborhood of Fairfax, VA. Cristina has a perfect understanding of the market and the neighborhood where our house was located. She and her professional team worked with us closely on the final preparations of the house for sale, not missing a single detail, and with skilled resources available when needed. Thanks to Cristina's efforts and creative marketing, we received multiple offers after only three days on the market. She is, without a doubt, the best realtor in the area and we highly recommend her for any real estate transaction."

"Cristina Dougherty brought a team to help us sell our home in the Franklin Glen neighborhood of Chantilly. I have worked with a number of real estate agents as I moved every few years in the military, and this was by far the best supported, most professional home sale I have ever experienced. Cristina helped my wife and I make improvements to our house to make it appealing to a wider group of possible buyers. We purchased a home across the country before our Chantilly home was ready for the market and Cristina had solutions every time we ran into issues with getting our home ready for sale. Cristina has an amazing network of resources to help us out. The result was getting 3 offers after only 4 days on the market, and the best offer was above our asking price! We were absolutely amazed at the level of support we got from Cristina and her team. We selected her because she is the most active agent in this area, and she proved to us that she is also the Best in the area! I would 100% turn to Cristina again if I had to sell a property in the Chantilly area."

I highly recommend Cristina Dougherty to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She is trustworthy, hardworking, highly knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to achieving the best outcome for her clients.
