I wanted to take a moment and highlight a recent sale that I was very fortunate to be a part of. It was such a pleasure helping my client Riley find her dream row house on this beautiful block in Bloomingdale! Houses such as this one are in high demand in neighborhoods like Bloomingdale because there simply aren't enough of them for sale, and that meant that we were facing multiple competing offers from some very motivated competition that really wanted the house.

In multiple offer situations like this, whether it's 3 or 7 offers you're competing against, there are usually a couple that stand out from the pack. When a seller is deciding between those strongest offers, all the little details matter and can make the difference between having your offer accepted and moving into your dream home, or receiving the bad news that someone else won the house. Beyond the very important sales price and contingencies, I like to listen carefully to the listing agent and find out what is most important to the seller so that my clients and I can craft an offer that stands out from the rest.

In this case, I couldn't ask for a better or more understanding client, and thankfully we were able to put together an offer that the seller couldn't refuse. One of the best parts about this job for me is being able to make that phone call where I tell my clients that their offer was accepted and the house they've fallen in love with will soon be theirs, and I feel very fortunate that I was able to share that news with Riley. Thanks so much for trusting me throughout this process and I can't wait for the housewarming!

So excited for my buyer clients who are under contract on this beauty in Petworth! They were targeting this specific area and a house that had a lot of original details and character, not a recent flip. Looking forward to navigating this one smoothly to settlement so they can move into their new home!

Incredibly grateful for clients like Meridith who put their faith in me during the home buying process! There’s no better feeling than helping a client accomplish their goals and it gives my work a deeper meaning that is extremely motivating!

JUST LISTED: 1606 5TH ST NW #2

This spacious and sun-filled top floor condo on one of Shaw's most desirable streets is spread over two levels and offers the best of city living. Behind the beautiful red-brick facade, this unit features 2 large bedrooms with en suite bathrooms and 2 private outdoor spaces, giving it the comfortable feel of a house with all the benefits of a condo.

When you enter the unit you are greeted by an open floor plan living room and kitchen with soaring 16 foot ceilings, multiple skylights, and expanses of red exposed brick. The kitchen includes a wide and highly functional island, luxury stainless steel Viking appliances, and freshly painted white cabinets.

With one upstairs bedroom and bathroom, and a second downstairs bedroom and bathroom, the already comfortable space feels even larger and allows for multiple, flexible arrangements and a great degree of privacy. A large private balcony off of the upstairs bedroom offers a birds-eye view over the neighborhood, and the private backyard provides for a tranquil sanctuary or fun gathering spot for a barbecue and drinks with your friends.

The location is certainly one of the highlights as well. Located on a calm, one-way street in the heart of Shaw, you have the benefits of being in a residential neighborhood that feels like an oasis, but are only a couple blocks away from destinations like Dacha, Compass Coffee, Chaplin's, Oyster Oyster, Zeppelin, Blagden Alley and more. Plus, Giant is just minutes away on foot when you need groceries, and the Shaw-Howard Metro Station is only a few blocks away.

Open Houses this weekend: Saturday 1/28 and Sunday 1/29 from 12:00 - 2:00 PM.

It took only 3 days to find buyers for this beautiful property! After just a few days on the market my client was thrilled to accept the offer we received. While the market is certainly shifting and there are less buyers out there than when mortgage rates were at 3%, people always need to buy and sell, and especially in a place like DC.

If you’re looking to sell, it’s always important to work with a Realtor who is focused on providing exceptional service, but particularly at times like this, when pricing and presentation are so crucial.

For me, this job is all about helping my clients achieve their goals. That starts with listening closely and coming up with a strategy that will allow us to make that a reality. It also requires an understanding of the current market conditions and the best pricing strategy to use at that moment in time based on my client’s needs.

As a buyer or seller you have plenty of options to choose from when it comes to picking a real estate agent, and shifting markets like this allow agents who are committed to going above and beyond for their clients to stand out from the pack. If you have any questions about the market or are looking to buy or sell, now or at some point in the future, let’s talk.

This bright and spacious home in the heart of Shaw features almost 1,500 square feet of living space across two levels, offers numerous options in terms of living configurations, and is sure to capture your imagination from the moment your eyes meet the magnificent facade.

A beautiful Italianate corner building, it was first built in 1874 and was meticulously rebuilt from the basement up in 2012 with great care and attention given to restoring the original details of the exterior, while also providing an interior that offers all the comforts of modern, city living.

With 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a bonus room that can serve as an office, home gym, den, or guest bedroom just to name a few options, you have the freedom to make this home fit your needs.

The southern exposure bathes the property in sunlight throughout the day, and the oversized windows and doors offer views of the one of the most alluring neighborhoods in the District. Hardwood floors and a gorgeous open living/dining space create an inviting focal point on the main floor.

French doors from the bonus room open directly onto your own private patio, perfect for taking in the sun, enjoying your morning coffee, or gathering with friends for drinks in the garden.

Really happy for my buyer client who just closed on this beautifully renovated rowhome in the heart of Shaw! This is a great property that has been converted from a single family home into two separate units - a 2 bed, 2.5 bath main house and an income generating basement unit with 1 bed and bath. Not only is it a great house, it's also just one block from my own home, so I'm very excited to welcome my client and friend to Shaw!

There's a lot of competition in this business and it can be hard to break through, especially when you don't have years of experience and hundreds of transactions to point to as proof of your success. The reality is that the consumer has lots of options to choose from and when it comes to a major financial decision like buying or selling real estate, who you work with matters. That's why I take this responsibility so seriously and am honored to have had so many people place their trust in me already. Lists like this are just a reflection of that, and that's why I am incredibly grateful to all of my clients, friends, family and everyone who has been so supportive along the way!

PS: Feels a bit late to be posting data from July now that we're in September, but our All DC Team Meeting where these rankings were shared took place just last week when it was still August.

As I approach the one year mark since becoming a full-time realtor, it feels great to reflect on all the people I've helped buy, sell, and achieve their homeownership and investment goals over the past 12 months. Apparently, that has also translated into some personal success, and for that I am incredibly grateful. Thank you to everyone who has placed their trust in me and supported me along the way!

From Homesnap: "We looked at the data from the first half of 2022 for over 1 million Homesnap Pro agents nationwide, and you're one of the select few to win a Top Agent Award! You earned this distinction based on your impressive productivity over the past six months."

Very happy that I was able to help my buyer client close quickly and smoothly on this investment property that was purchased as part of a 1031 Exchange. This is a beautiful unit with high end finishes that was priced to sell quickly, but with some negotiation I was able to get the seller down to their absolute minimum and break even point. My client was excited to get this property for $5,000 below list price. Plus, all of our repair requests were accepted, making this a very enjoyable experience for my buyer client!
