  Founded in 1786, Charles Town is the seat of Jefferson County. Charles Washington - the youngest brother of George Washington - laid out the town, named streets and donated the four blocks at the center of town to the community. Today, Charles Town and Ranson, which is adjacent to north Charles Town, is a close-knit community that embraces its history while supporting new industries and tourism. West Virginia's Mountain Heritage Arts & Crafts Festival attracts many people to Charles Town twice each year to buy and enjoy demonstrations by approximately 200 craftsmen and women. Visitors to this nationally-acclaimed festival can also enjoy live Bluegrass performances and a variety of local foods. To learn more about the history of Charles Town, you can take a walking tour to see many historic homes built and owned by such people as Charles Washington, John Locke and other important figures of the period. For those people looking for something other than history, Charles Town Races & Slots is available. This entertainment establishment, which is home of the West Virginia Breeders' Classic, has thoroughbred racing year-round, more than 5,000 slots machines, live entertainment, and numerous shopping and dining opportunities. As of December 5th, 2009 tables games were voted in by local residents. Stay tuned for this exciting addition! Want to stay overnight?

Accepting An Offer >Responding to Low Offers
The beginning of negotiations is usually the end of many months of hard work for the buyer or seller. The work ahead requires skill in order to maintain a strong position.
Sellers can lose their advantage if they do not counter an offer that a buyer has made. Even if the opening offer is beneath what the seller feels is reasonable, it is advisable for the seller to respond with a slight reduction from the asking price. The most important component in negotiating is good communication.
The best way to handle a low offer is to counter it with definite terms that are favorable to the seller. A counter offer has two advantages: 1) it keeps the buyer interested, and 2) it moves the negotiation forward and gives the buyer the opportunity to submit another offer that the seller is more likely to prefer.
