The History of Powhatan County, VA, along with current market trends


I was promising a couple last night at a listing appointment in Powhatan County, Virginia that I'd chronicle a bit about their area in my blog and so here we go.

This photo to the left is of a Courthouse in Powhatan and is typical of the history that abounds in this area, named for Chief Powhatan of the Monacan Indians who met with English settlers in the 1608/1609 timeframe. See the link below for more history on Powhatan County:

  1. If you sell your home due to financial problems or foreclosure risk, you can find a short-term sales agent Woodbridge Northern Virginia. Agents can help you, because this is probably your best choice. This phenomenon is increasing, many owners are forced to take this decision.
