Meet Spencer Marker
Although my father was career Navy I have spent practically my entire life in Northern Virginia. I am as close to being "born & raised" here as you can get. I was graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School.
Upon graduation I attended and was graduated from the General Motors Training Center. I then went on to North Carolina State University, Northern Virginia Community College and George Mason University. I have a degree in Business Administration specializing in Marketing & Management. While working my way through college as a plumber I earned a Masters License in plumbing from the Commonwealth of Virginia.
I am a licensed Real Estate Broker, not just an agent. I am also a graduate of the Realtors Institute, earning the prestigious GRI designation. This designation is obtained by less than 9% of all Realtors. I have earned my Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) designation. This is a national designation of which I am very proud. Less than 1% of all Realtors ever achieve this designation. I have also earned my Accredited Buyers Representative (ABR) designation, my CDPE and e-Pro Designation. I attend on a regular basis numerous classes and seminars to finely hone my real estate skills.
I am presently a licensed Associate Broker with Long & Foster's Top Producing office and I have an active Principal Broker's License. I am a member of the Northern Virginia Association of REALTORS®, the Virginia Association of REALTORS®, the National Association of REALTORS®, the Residential Sales Council, the Long & Foster Masters Club and the NVAR 50 Million Dollar + Sales Club.I have spent my entire career with Long & Foster, am a member of their "Hall of Fame" and consistently reach their "Top 5 Agents" company wide. I am active at our local board and serve currently on the Grievance Committee. I am recognized as one of the Top 10 Agents in the area by the Northern Virginia Association of REALTORS® and have been every year since 1993.
I own a home in Centreville and reside there with my wife, Donna & our 4 children, Christine, Rachael, Rebecca & Hannah. I devote a lot of my time to community affairs and regularly attend special meetings concerning the community. I am the Immediate Past President of the Centreville Historical Society and various committees concerning land use.
When I am not working around the house I spend what little spare time I have reading, fishing, relic hunting or dabbling on the computer.
One of the things I enjoy most about my work is working with people. I look forward to working with you.

Selling Your Home >Selling the Details
It is the little things--both positive and negative--that can make a big difference to prospective buyers. Pay close attention to detail when you prepare your home to sell.
Before you list your home, go through the house with a careful eye. Fix any loose door knobs, popped screen doors, and loose grout around the tub and shower. A coat of fresh paint can work wonders to dress up a house. Wash the windows, hang a healthy plant from the bathroom skylight, and clean out the closets. Arrange the furniture to make the room look larger. If the rooms look cluttered, put your extra furniture into storage. You can brighten up a room by increasing the wattage of the light bulbs.
Going the extra mile to showcase your home will pay significant dividends when it's time to show it to buyers.
