Why Shirlington Sellers Choose The Mike Webb Team
The Mike Webb Team is Mike and Claudia Webb at RE/MAX Allegiance. Over more than 34 years we have helped more than 2,500 families buy and sell, and about three out of four of our sales are in Arlington.
In the 12 months that ended in September 2026, 11 of our 24 listings were on the market 10 days or fewer. No result is promised for any single home, but preparation and the right price give yours the strongest start.
Claudia handles the preparation, the crews and the marketing, and works with your association on what the sale needs. Mike and Claudia negotiate your offers together.
John Winstead, who bought and sold a condo with us, wrote on Zillow: “The amount of knowledge between Mike and Claudia make sure every aspect of a sale or purchase is covered, from staging and home projects on the sale end to contract offers and negotiations on the purchase end.”
How We Sell a Shirlington Home
A one-floor condo and a garage townhouse draw different buyers, so the plan starts with yours:
- Assess: we tour your home with you and compare it with recent sales in your community and similar ones nearby.
- Prepare: keep, fix, improve or skip, room by room. Fresh paint, clean floors, good light and less furniture make the biggest difference in most condos and townhouses.
- Position: we show you the homes buyers will compare yours to that week and recommend a price. You choose.
- Launch: professional photography, a 3D tour, floor plans, paid social media advertising and open houses.
- Negotiate and Move: we go over each offer with you, help with the association documents buyers need and stay with you until closing.
For a bigger update, such as flooring, a kitchen or a bathroom, eligible sellers can use our Concierge Services™. Approved work is done before you list, and you pay for it at closing, with no upfront cost, interest or fees.
What Shirlington Buyers Look For
Shirlington buyers are usually buying a first home or moving up, and some are buying to rent out. They want the walk to the Village at Shirlington's restaurants, library and Signature Theatre, quick access to I-395 and the Pentagon, the nearby trails, and community extras such as pools and tennis courts where they exist.
Shirlington is served by Abingdon Elementary School or Dr. Charles R. Drew Elementary School depending on the address, then Gunston Middle School and Wakefield High School, and we point buyers to the current Arlington Public Schools boundary map.
Condo and townhouse sellers face more competition this fall. NVAR reported condo and townhouse listings in its Northern Virginia region up 49.7% from a year earlier in September 2026, compared with 5.7% for detached homes, and Arlington County had about 3.9 months of supply in September 2026, up from 3.0 a year before. Prices held up: Bright MLS reported Arlington's median sale price 11.1% higher than a year earlier for July through September 2026.
