Our Approach To

The Home Buying Process

01—

A Collaborative Approach

With $3B in career sales, our team has helped every kind of buyer - including first time, second home, relocation, trade-up and investors - find success in the local market. Our team cooperates in a way that is rarely seen in the industry, supporting each other whenever needed. Our collective experience guides us through difficult negotiations and provides us with a historical understanding of value within the DC-area marketplace.

Preparation

If you’re new to home buying, our agents take the time to sit down and explain the various steps in detail, making sure you’re clear on how we advocate on your behalf, the various parties involved and how our team streamlines the process for you.

Compass Collections & Private Exclusives

Our website gives you the power of personalized search, giving you the ability to watch particular property types, neighborhoods or the market in general.

When you work with one of our agents, the Compass One suite of online tools further enhance these capabilities. Compass Collections becomes your mobile search platform, allowing you to collaborate with both your agent and family members, creating greater efficiencies. Our agents also enjoy access to Compass Private Exclusive listings - homes that are not yet on the open market - giving you the broadest possible access to available homes.

Local First

Our agents are spread across the greater Washington DC area, giving our team an unmatched knowledge of neighborhoods, the block by block micro markets and the lifestyle amenities that are the building blocks of daily life. We have also built a network of local professionals and can recommend any home service you might need.

Skilled Negotiators

Often misunderstood, as well as overlooked, we take this part of our job very seriously. Our team-based approach ensures we are able to respond as quickly as possible and to remain seamlessly engaged throughout negotiations. Our agents refuse to let deals evaporate when our clients need us to persevere.

06—

Lasting Relationships

We work tirelessly to find our clients the home that best meets their needs at the best price possible, always with an eye on the potential future resale. Building a lasting relationship based on trust and mutual respect is more important than a single sale. Our experience and the tools at our disposal help us to guide our clients to make smart financial decisions.

An Ongoing Resource

We don’t believe our relationship with our clients ends as soon as the purchase is complete. If you’re considering renovations at any point during your home ownership, we love to be involved, keeping in mind both your current needs and the home’s future resale value. We also remain a resource for any number of home-related concerns, including trusted vendors, mortgage refinancing and out-of-area relocation.
