My name is Carl Fischer. I have lived and worked in this area since 1969. As a
young man, I couldn’t wait to move here to experience first-hand the rich heritage,
history, and natural beauty of this magnificent agricultural land.

When I arrived, Loudoun County had 17,000 residents; today, there are an estimated
330,000 people living and working in this bedroom community west of the Washington metropolitan area.

Dulles International Airport (IAD), located on 12,000 acres on the eastern edge of
the county just 26 miles from the nation's capitol, was completed in 1962, and had
so little air traffic there was talk of closing it. Today it is a multi-million dollar complex
and one of the nation's busiest airports with over 23 million passengers a year.
On a typical day, more than 60,000 passengers depart Washington Dulles to more
than 125 destinations around the world. How times have changed!

Having spent many years managing construction projects for major residential
developers, I decided to move into real estate sales in 1989. Over the course of
eleven years, I managed a team of agents that was recognized as the 2nd highest
producing team internationally in the real estate industry's largest franchise.

But what I enjoyed most through all of those years was crafting solutions to thorny
real estate problems. So in 2001, I opened my own Independent brokerage, and
continued to serve the community I love. I was active in community and county-wide
efforts to shape the future of this county, and created "Arts in the Alley", an original
art and music street festival that drew rave reviews.

In 2007, I met the woman I had searched a lifetime for, and married her shortly
thereafter. Susan is a very special person. She retired in 2011 after serving this
community for 35 years as an Emergency Room nurse with INOVA, our area's
largest healthcare provider. I have great respect for the compassion and drive
that allowed her to do that job so well for so many years.

As the market nose-dived in late 2007, I watched the industry change dramatically,
and realized I could no longer go it alone as an independent operator.

So after carefully investigating my options, I chose to affiliate with the one real estate company that has been consistently producing great results for buyers and sellers alike since way back in 1927. And they are far and away the best marketing company in the industry today. I'm proud to be a part of such a great group of focused professionals.

Now, when time and weather permits, we enjoy riding our Harley, "playing" with
my hand-crafted 14' Penobscot sailing dink, or traveling wherever our spirits lead
us. We also love to share time with family and friends.

I've been avid fisherman since I was very young, and I enjoy light-tackle fishing
for anything in the Chesapeake Bay from Solomons Island south to the mouth of
the Rappahannock River, or in the Florida Keys doing catch-and-release fishing
for sailfish using ultra-light tackle. Any excuse to be on the water is the
right one for me!
