I have lived in D.C. for 25 years.  I know this city.  I have helped many buyers find amazing homes and most often am able to negotiate great savings on their behalf.  I do not charge a fee as I am paid commission by the seller only when an offer is accepted. 

Why work with a dedicated buyer's agent?  In my role, I do more than just unlock front doors for showings or send you listings.  I assist buyers as follow:

-- provide guidance when evaluating potential homes

-- strategize on your offer and partner with you to submit all legal documents when placing an offer

-- negotiate on sales price

-- provide guidance during home inspection and bank appraisal and negotiate on any impactful results

-- interact with your mortgage lender and settlement officer to keep everything on track

-- provide recommendations on a variety of vendors if needed, including homes inspectors, settlement officers, contractors, movers, painters, etc.
