I’m thankful for all those who voted me into Northern Virginia Magazine’s 100 Best Real Estate Agents list for a third year in a row.

Starting in 2023, Anna Lowry will be backing me up by compiling my research and data as well as my personal experiences and expert opinion into an informative and easy to read blog.

I knew she was the right fit when I saw that she went through numerous archives to look up what happened to every single person I laid a wreath for at Arlington National Cemetery. She also took my notes and constructed a narrative that honored their respective legacies.

If you’re a real estate agent who wants to focus on customer satisfaction and you want someone reliable to consistently manage narrative-based elements of your 33-Touch Campaign, I highly recommend hiring her. Call or PM me if you want me to connect you to her.

Wreaths Across America a look into the stories of those we honored.

12/18/2022

Yesterday I had the honor of participating in Wreaths Across America at Arlington National Cemetery. When I was there, I came across several tombstones with the Star of David above the hero’s name. Since these heroes were of Jewish descent, it did not feel appropriate to leave a Christmas Wreath on their grave. Instead, I decided to run some research with the intention of honoring their legacy.

So with today being the first day of Hanukkah, I will post a story about each veteran of Jewish descent who is currently buried at Arlington National Cemetery for servicing our country and defending freedom across the world with valor and honor.

Day 1 of 8 - US Army Major Sigmund T Meyers

Major Meyers served the United States Army during WWII, The Korean War, and the Vietnam War. After his years of selfless service to our nation, Major Meyers pursued his passion of photography and became a cameraman for CBS. Today, you can find many of his photographs at the Brooklyn Museum in New York. Thank you for serving our country.

Thankful that I have the distinct privilege of representng the DC Metro Area as well as the Filipino community in tomorrow's panel with KW International for AAPI Heritage Month.

To be selected out of all of the KW agents across the world for my success in real estate and my work in the community is an incredible honor.

I appreciate everyone who gave me the opportunity to make this possible. This wouldn't be possible without you.

Maraming Salamat Po!

I'm not exaggerating when I say that Jack Goodwyn is one of the sharpest solution makers in the NoVA real estate industry today. I'm thankful we could work together on a home sale full of solutions that benefit my sellers.

I can't go into too much detail because of their request for privacy and discretion, but just know everyone on my side of the transaction is grateful.

Broke a record and sold this townhouse near Inova Fairfax Hospital and the Mosaic District for the largest sold price for interior homes in the history of this neighborhood...11% above asking / $55K over list...with all contingencies waived, and the buyer paying for some of my seller's closing costs.

Super thankful for Jordan, Faryal, and of course my mom...who approved open house visitors for an affordable mortgage solution while in a private area of the home while I wrapped up both Friday and Sunday open houses. My success was made possible thanks to them backing me up.

to Easter Sunday with Bella's cousins. Very nice work by my sister and brother-in-law with hosting us with s'mores, an egg roll, an Easter egg hunt, and of course, chicken adobo.

Anyone out there a legal expert when it comes to child labor laws? Asking for a friend. 🤔

The Johnny Depp / Amanda Heard $100 Million defamation trial is taking place where the gray circle is marked, the one with the scales of justice. My office is on the right where the key inside the red circle is marked.

Traffic is probably going to be pretty awful near my office with KW Capital Properties thanks to the media, tabloids, groupies, etc...especially if James Franco and Elon Musk elect to testify in person.

Until further notice, all in-person client consultations will take place at the Pho Duong, Saigon Outcast, or Chi Mc, Five Guys, Popeyes, or Choong Man location of your choice.

I was born at MedStar Washington Hospital Center in D.C. on the NW side of North Capitol Street. This condo home that I am selling is less than a mile away from that part of North Capital Street.

With that in mind, it should be easy to understand why his condo home that I am selling in Brookland is very special to me, with the home being so close to the place where I “planted my roots” many years ago.

Over the years, I witnessed a renaissance that was ignited by ambitious community development projects and economic growth initiatives. The sale of this lovely is a continuation of that renaissance in Northeast and I am proud to be a part of it. My parents did not immigrate to this country with much. All they had was ambition and a vision for a better life in the United States. I can’t help but recognize the symbolism between the beauty and glory that defines Brookland and my mom and dad’s personal definition of their American Dream.

To all of you out there who are not from the DC Metro Area: Brooklyn is to NYC as Brookland is to DC.

This 1 bedroom / 1 bathroom condo home comes with a bonus room that is currently being used as an office, premium hardwood floors throughout, as well as a covered deck area with easy access to your own parking space.

Extensive professional renovations were recently completed less than four years ago. The home’s premium stainless steel kitchen appliances, heating and cooling systems, as well as lighting and plumbing fixtures are well within life expectancy and are all running exceptionally well.

This home is located 0.4 miles away from the Rhode Island Ave-Brentwood Metro Station, with Red Line access to Union Station, Gallery Place Chinatown, Metro Center, Dupont Circle, and Woodley Park-The Smithsonian National Zoo-Adams Morgan just to name a few. If you want to stay close to your new home, less than 0.5 mi away according to Google Maps are the new Alamo Drafthouse, Metrobar DC, Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience, Primrose, Menomale, Right Proper Brewing, and City State Brewery.

If you are looking for a more serene and scenic DC experience: Roughly 0.2 miles away just past Noyes Recreation Center, Tastemakers, and the Dew Drop, you will find an access point to the Metropolitan Branch Trail (MBT) which provides direct hiking and biking paths to Union Station, Red Bear Brewing, and REI.

This location is also ideal for those looking to be close to Catholic University / Trinity University /The Basilica of the National Shrine, Children’s National Hospital Center / MedStar Washington Hospital Center, Gallaudet University / Union Market (Trader Joe’s, Stellina Pizzeria, Masala Story, St Anselm, O-Ku Sushi, Toki Underground, Farmbird, Uzu, etc. ), and Howard University. These points of interest are all located less than 2 miles away from this lovely home.

This recently renovated and newly updated home is waiting for you.
