At the beginning of each year we budget to help local charities & schools. Here are a couple of our favorite charities. OUR NEIGHBOR'S CHILD This exemplary organization was started right here in the Centreville community and provides holiday gifts to less fortunate children in western Fairfax County. They make a huge difference in the lives of 100's of families in our community. According to their website, whether you have a little or a lot of time to give - they have just the opportunity for you! In addition, while most gifts are collected at area churches, schools and businesses, they do need monetary donations as well to fill gift requests. ALL donations from the public go toward the purchase of gifts of toys or clothing for a child in need. For more information on this great charity please or to find out how you can help go to their web site at http://ourneighborschild.org/ WESTERN FAIRFAX CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES This group was formed in 1987 to, quoting from the web site, "address the needs of those experiencing difficulties in sustaining a self-supporting quality of life, believing in the inherent dignity of each person. To help families and individuals achieve the goal of self-sufficiency. To express God's love and to exemplify the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ."
The group provides emergency help for persons living in the Centreville, Chantilly, Clifton, Fairfax Station, and Fairfax (in the 22033 zip-code) areas.

Working With An Agent >CRS and GRI
CRS, which stands for Certified Residential Specialist, is a designation that recognizes a high level of professional accomplishments in real estate experience and education. The Residential Sales Council grants the CRS designation only to the most outstanding sales associates in the residential sales field. Besides the completion of a rigorous course of study, the candidate must be able to demonstrate 75 successful transactions or average sales of $1 million per year of experience. Only 4% of all real estate agents are awarded the CRS designation.
GRI stands for Graduate, REALTOR Institute. The REALTOR Institute offers a series of 90 hours of required and elective courses conducted by the local Board or Association of REALTORS. These courses cover all areas of real estate -- residential, investment, construction and mortgage. The GRI designation is a prerequisite of many specialized courses in the REALTOR organization.
