The Girls of Real Estate 10th Anniversary Breast Cancer Event was held on October 11, 2015 and was a huge success.  It was a gorgeous Sunday afternoon at the beautiful Poplar Springs Inn Spa and Manor House Restaurant in Warrenton, VA, made brighter by the sunny disposition of this year’s distinguished guests, Bob and Linda Carey of the Tutu Project.   Over 70 attendees and contributors raised a little over our projected goal of $10,000 – $10,615.

This was our fourth year supporting the Tutu Project’s mission to provide financial support to women and families battling breast cancer. It was truly an honor to meet them in person! They are just lovely people with their heart in the right place. Linda is still battling breast cancer and has been actively receiving chemo treatment for 9 years.  After meeting her, it occurs to us that her positive attitude, and Bob’s loving support are the MAJOR reasons why she is still alive.

In a post before the event, we shared that our annual event supports the fight against breast cancer because the disease took the life of our beloved sister and aunt, Merrie Rieke.  Bob and Linda are committed to supporting local charities in the area in which funds are raised through their organization. They thoroughly vet the organizations that receive funds through the Tutu Project to be sure of their legitimacy. They mentioned that money raised through our event may go to an organization they actively support, For 3 Sisters.  This Maryland based organization was created by a firefighter who lost his three sisters in two years to breast cancer.

THE GIRLS OF REAL ESTATE 10TH ANNIVERSARY BREAST CANCER Final thoughts
The staff at the Poplar Inn and Spa were enthusiastic supporters of our event | The Girls of Real Estate 10th Anniversary Breast Cancer Event
The staff at Poplar Springs Inn Spa and Manor House Restaurant were enthusiastic supporters of our event!

This was our first event at Poplar Springs Inn Spa and Manor House Restaurant and we found the management and staff to be extremely professional, gracious and outstanding supporters of our event. They are a talented and creative group that we proudly recommend for a wonderful dining experience or to host your private event.  The food was amazing and guests loved the pastry chef’s delicious – all pink – desserts.  Many on staff wore tutus as part of their uniform and we were so touched that the bartender crafted 3 pink cocktails for the event and donated all his tips to the Tutu Project.

Everyone said it was our best event ever and having Bob and Linda Carey attend was truly the highlight.  We think know Merrie would have loved this party and we are so truly thankful for everyone’s support, attendance, financial contributions and item donations.

Testimonials

Candace is The Best. She went above the call of duty regarding selling my house and especially when purchasing my new home, i.e. negotiating with a difficult seller. Candace is one of the most professional realtors in the area and always has a smile on her face. It was a pleasure dealing with her and with The Girls of Real Estate.
Sheryl W.
We have used Candace and her team for the purchase of a townhouse, the sale of the same townhouse a few years later, and the purchase of a single family home. Each time, she was professional, courteous and she gave us excellent service. She knows the local area well as well as the market. I would highly recommend using her.
Sarika & Vince V.
I have known Candace since 2010 when I placed my home in Haymarket Virginia on the market. She has remained in touch since that time. She has always been very efficient and effective. I contacted her again recently when I needed her help in re-leasing the home in Haymarket.
Bob F.
Candace was great to work with during the sale of our condo. She always kept us informed and was very pleasant to work with. Candace and her team have innovative ideas and are hard workers. We would feel comfortable using their services again.
Stu & Jane Y.
Chelle was an invaluable asset to me. We were relocating without being able to physically see a property. Her knowledge of the area and expertise were what I needed to point me towards the right home for us. I highly recommend her! Thanks Chelle for your care and attention! ~ 3/31/2015 (See review on Zillow)
Home RenterWashington, DC area
Candace came in with some very valid and good suggestions to help us with selling our home. She priced it accurately and took our feedback into account while doing so. She put together beautiful marketing materials including stunning photos of our home that made it appear to be from a magazine cover. She was persistent in her discussions and follow ups with potential buyers agents. She sold our house in the dead of winter in under 30 days thanks to Candace.
Chris & Jen S.
Since we were moving from a different state, Chelle showed us about 20 homes in one weekend and found us exactly what we were looking for. We were out of town for the home inspection and she FaceTimed us with the inspector so we could be part of it. She was incredibly friendly, professional, and helpful throughout the whole process, and we definitely recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell! ~ 2/17/2018 (see it on Zillow.com)
Condo BuyerDouglas Park, Arlington, VA
My wife and I worked with Candace Moe between March and August 2014, eventually selling our home in Oak Hill, VA (zip – 20171) during a very difficult selling period. There were several external factors that resulted in the extended sales cycle. First, was the sale of a comparable house on the same block for an extremely high price. That sale took place immediately before the downturn and was the basis for our initial asking price. Secondly, the bottom fell out of the market for homes in our pri… Read more

After purchasing a couple homes over the last few years I have not experienced better service in a realtor than Chelle! She goes above and beyond to ensure you get the exact house you really want and is there providing her expertise throughout all parts of the process. She takes extreme pride in doing so and you will not find a more sincere and genuine realtor or person in the DC area!
Cal R.
Chelle was a true professional. We were only here for a few days and we looked at 40-50 houses in four days! When we did finally put in an offer, we had a problem with the seller not liking the fact that we were using a VA loan. She provided him with all the data and statistics that he needed to become comfortable with the loan. Also, her local knowledge can’t be beat. She grew up in the area, so she knows the area. I would recommend her to anyone.
