Are you concerned about the current real estate market?
We would like to address your concerns by beginning with a very short story we hope makes the point.
 A grandfather walks along a beach and sees his grandson, a young boy, throwing something into the water. As he approaches, he sees hundreds of starfish lining the beach, washed in from the tide, dying. The starfish were separated from the water which they needed to live. The young boy is rushing around, throwing the starfish back into the water one by one. The grandfather asks why he bothers, it’s pointless. There are too many starfish to help them all. As he flings a starfish deep into the water, the young boy replies, “you see granddad, it mattered to that one.”
The individual matters! There are so many today we cannot reach to help but like the youngster we want to help you.
There are a lot of questions being asked today. Here are a few we are hearing. Is now the right time to buy? With all of the foreclosures and short sales on the market how can I compete if I want to sell my house? What I owe on my house is greater than what it’s worth, what do I do? I did what the loan modification company told me to do and now my credit score has dropped 100 points, what are my options?
These are challenges we address everyday and it is why Lord and Saunders Real Estate, Inc. was created. We are in business to meet our client’s needs not the worlds and the difference is we have the real estate experience and expertise to meet them.

Excerpt from Wikipedia article
regarding Captain Lawrence Washington,
Joey Washington’s Great Grandfather, 8 generations removed and
George Washington’s Grandfather also.
Lawrence Washington (1659-1698) was the grandfather of George Washington.
Family
Lawrence Washington was the eldest son of John Washington (from Essex, England) and Anne Pope. He was born in September of 1659, on his father's estate at Bridges Creek, in Westmoreland County, Virginia. He had two siblings: John (c.1660-1698) and Anne (c.1660-1697).
Lawrence was named for his paternal grandfather Lawrence Washington.
Life
As the eldest son of the Washington family, Lawrence received the benefits of primogeniture, as was common at the time. As would become tradition within the Washington family, he was sent to England to be educated, where he trained as a lawyer. Though he inherited two substantial estates on the Potomac River upon the death of his father, Mattox Creek (1,850 acres) and Little Hunting Creek (2,500 acres) (which would eventually be renamed Mount Vernon by Lawrence's grandson and namesake Lawrence Washington), Lawrence did not add to either property substantially during his lifetime. Indeed, he seems to have been more interested in politics and the law than in planting.
In 1688, Lawrence married Mildred Warner, one of three daughters of the wealthy Gloucester County planter Augustine Warner. By her, he had three children: John (1692-1746), Augustine (1694-1743), and Mildred (1698-1747). Unfortunately, however, Lawrence died in February of the same year in which his daughter was born, at the age of 38.
Following his death, Mildred Warner Washington married George Gale, who moved the family to Whitehaven, England. Mildred would die in 1701, however, and though her will stipulated that Gale become the guardian of her children, Lawrence's cousin, John Washington, successfully petitioned to have custody transferred to him in 1704, at which point the children returned to Virginia.

Except from 1913 Will T. Hale article:
“A history of Tennessee and Tennesseans: the leaders and representative men in commerce, industry and modern activities”
This publication clearly demonstrates Joey Washington Saunders relationship to America’s First Family: The Washington’s.
The article verifies Joey's ancestry from John Washington, George Washington’s uncle, Joey’s Great Grandfather 7 generations removed to Henry James Lamar Washington, “Joey’s” Grandfather. The primary focus in Hale’s article is William Hunter Washington, Joey’s Great Grandfather.
William Hunter Washington, who was born on a farm in Rutherford county, Tennessee, September 9, 1850, is directly descended from John Washington who was the uncle of George Washington, and a grandson of the original John Washington, who immigrated from the north of England in the year 1657 and settled at Bridges Creek on the Potomac river, in the county of Westmoreland, Virginia. That was the beginning of the history of the noted Washington family in America. This pioneer American, John Washington, married Anne Pope and left two sons, named Lawrence and John, and one daughter, Anne. Lawrence Washington (2) married Mildred Warner, and left two sons, John and Augustine, the latter becoming the father of General Washington, the first president of the United States. John (3) the first of these two sons, married Catherine Whiting, and their two sons were Warner and Henry and their three daughters were named Mary, Elizabeth and Catherine. Of these, Warner Washington (4) married a Miss Macon, by whom he had one son, Warner Washington (5), who married a Miss Whiting, and they were the parents of several sons and daughters, one of the sons being Francis Whiting Washington (6), who was the paternal grandfather of William Hunter Washington, the Nashville lawyer.
Francis Whiting Washington (6), the paternal grandfather, was born in Clarke County, Virginia, in 1781. . … During the latter years of his life he removed to Augusta, Georgia, which was his home at the time of his death, in 1871, when he had attained the advanced age of ninety years. One of the five sons of this first Tennessee settler in the family was also named Francis Whiting Washington (7), who was the father of the Nashville attorney. He married Sarah Catherine Crockett, and from Nashville moved to a farm near Murfreesboro, Tennessee. He served with credit during the war as a Confederate soldier, and lived a long and active life as a farmer, and substantial citizen. His wife was a granddaughter of Col. Anthony Crockett, who was a cousin of the famous David Crockett.
…. William Hunter Washington (8) is eighth in descent from the American founder of the family. He was the oldest of the children of his parents, and his early youth and childhood was spent in the troubled times of the Civil war. He was educated in Washington College (Washington & Lee University) Virginia…Mr. Washington was first married to Miss Alberta Lamar, whose father was Henry J. Lamar, a prominent banker at Macon, Georgia, and a member of the distinguished Lamar family of that state. Her death occurred about a year after her marriage, and she left one son, Henry J. Lamar Washington, who is now a resident of New York City, and who married Miss Marguerite Osborne of New York City. Mr. Washington's present wife bore the name of Miss Rowena Thompson, and her father was the late Col. Robert Thompson of Nashville, who was one of the founders of the cotton seed oil interests of the south and a prominent manufacturer of Nashville. His death occurred in Nashville in 1886.
