Our Next Chapter

Happy home stretch of 2024! We are excited to be looking ahead at this time and to announce a restructuring at MDT Real Estate, formerly known as The Mandy & David Team. As many of you know, our very own David Getson is stepping back from sales to pursue a career with Compass management, where he will use his gifts to train and oversee the agents at Compass’ Capitol Hill office. We wish him well and are thrilled for the new agents who will benefit from his knowledge.

MDT Real Estate is now woman-owned and managed. Our operating philosophy is firmly rooted in the importance of home and family, the inherent rights of every individual to equal access and the belief that we all deserve an advocate and trusted advisor in our most important financial decisions. We understand that home ownership is a pathway to generational wealth and we are committed to helping everyone find their place in the world for this very reason. We proudly serve all neighborhoods, at every price point and will continue to give back to our local community, which has always been a cornerstone of Mandy’s entrepreneurship.

Mandy formed this team in 2005 with what, at the time, was a novel concept – an organizational approach that would offer clients more consistent communication and insights, while allowing our agents to focus entirely on the marketplace and the needs of their buyers and sellers. Given the opportunity to consider our history, our processes and a shifting real estate landscape, we have begun to adopt new workplace standards for our team that reflect a more collaborative and humanistic approach to our work. We continue to be faithful to our long-standing model of nurturing young talent while adding experienced agents, as a commitment both to our clients and the local real estate community.

Our team of top agents in the DMV are supported by a professional staff, dedicated to the belief that working together makes us each more effective and more knowledgeable, allowing us to provide the best service possible. We remain a community resource for any referrals or recommendations, such as handymen, designers, landscapers, etc. Additionally, we maintain a national and international referral network, should relocation needs arise.

MDT Real Estate has successfully completed nearly $3 Billion in real estate transactions. With over 500 5-star reviews on Zillow and nearly 100 on yelp!, we are truly The Most Trusted Name in DC-area real estate. In 2015, we became the first team outside of NYC to join the upstart brokerage, Compass. We appear on the Wall Street Journal’s annual Real Trends The Thousand and have been recognized by Washingtonian Magazine’s Best Agents every year since the list’s inception in 2015.

Motivated, Dedicated and Trusted. This is who we are. MDT Real Estate.

"I have bought and/or sold a total of 6 properties with Franky. He is very responsive and knowledgeable of the market. He listens to your needs and continuously woks behind the scenes to find what you are looking for. His greatest strength, from my experience, is at the negotiation table... he's a beast. Franky's work ethic is beyond that of any other agent I have worked with in the past. Lastly, he comes with a team that will usher you through the transaction process; they make it very easy to buy/sell. I will use Franky again, and give him my highest recommendation."

"The Mandy and David Team have been at our side for three home purchases and two home sales in DC. They are great advisors, amazing negotiators and have become friends. They support the community they live in and provide the very definition of white glove service. Cannot recommend them highly enough."

Sam S.

"We bought and sold our first house in DC with Donnell. Without Donnell, we would never have found and purchased the 100 year old Capitol Hill row house that we bought with a separate legal unit - and we were able to get in before the property was listed! We got more house than we imagined for ourselves and were able to get steady rental income from the legal unit downstairs. What a great investment thanks to Donnell and his team! Highly recommend him for his professionalism, network, attentiveness, and access to some of the best properties on the market."

"Everyone involved with the Mandy & David Team met and exceeded my expectations from the beginning. I appreciated the level of professionalism, the responsiveness and the genuine kindness throughout the process from everyone involved. If you need a REALTOR®, I could not recommend them enough. You will be in great hands!"

Kara L.

"I cannot recommend Shannon enough! This is the 3rd property I have bought working with Shannon and each transaction has been seamless. For this sale, we sold and bought in the midst of a pandemic. We were able to sell our old home in an off-market deal which allowed for us to get a competitive price and keep our family safe. The service provided by The Mandy and David team (and Shannon) made the entire process incredible easy and painless. I cannot recommend Shannon and her entire team highly enough."

Buyer | Seller

"I worked with David Evans to sell my condo in NW DC. I would highly recommend him if you are buying or selling in DC. He is professional, kind, and knowledgeable. I appreciated his guidance and low-pressure approach throughout the process, especially as a first-time seller. He made the process seamless and easy to navigate. The condo sold the first weekend it was listed! David and his entire team were wonderful!"

Suzanne C.

"I work as a real estate developer and have worked with the Mandy & David team to sell a new construction condo development and a renovated townhouse. On both projects, they were tremendously helpful at all steps of the way, understood all the nuances of selling a new construction condo project, and became more involved with selecting finishes, because they had such good suggestions. The entire team is great to work with, and I highly recommend them to anyone for any type of transaction."

Mike B.

"We give Mandy, David, and their knowledgeable and highly responsive team all the credit for our recent home sale! They are just amazing. Throughout the listing and sales process, we relied extensively on Mandy & David's exceptional expertise. The key differentiators are their deep, insightful knowledge of the DC real estate market, their attention to detail, their team (from the photographer to their closing crew), and their ability to bring untraditional buyers available exclusively through their connections and affiliation with Compass. We highly recommend Mandy and David to anyone looking to buy or sell their property in the Metro Washington DC region and are most grateful for their help."

"I cannot recommend Sarah enough! She was amazing to work with - from the beginning, she really understood what was important to us in looking for a new home, and patiently answered our thousands of questions. She is incredibly responsive and gave solid advice on how we can shape our bids to be competitive while staying within our budget. Sarah fights hard for her clients. We were a bit down after putting in four offers that were all rejected, but ended up getting the perfect house for us. Sarah is really good at her job! She's personable and funny and cares about her clients."
