A growing family left their Petworth townhouse for a four-bedroom in Westover. The house drew seven offers in the fall, the slow season. The escalation structure is what won it.

Our client was in Florida and the house was in Donaldson Run. It needed three bathrooms redone, new floors, and paint throughout. We took the keys and managed all of it, through to closing.

Our clients asked whether to sell their Arlington rental. We said keep renting. A year later they were done being landlords, so we sold it for $1,590,000 in the first week.

Our clients had a one-year-old and a DC townhouse. We spent months comparing McLean, North Arlington, and Falls Church City. The house they bought went under contract in two days.

Our clients needed to sell before they could buy, without a home-sale contingency weakening their offer. We prepped their house months early. It sold $115,000 over asking, three days before they closed on the new one

A developer's new build sat six months without an offer while carrying roughly $10,000 a month in interest. We repriced it, restaged it, and relaunched it in late January. Two offers in 30 days.

Renting in Bethesda with a July lease running out, one car, and two kids starting school. They needed to walk to Metro. We found them a house a quarter mile from East Falls Church before other buyers saw it.

The listing set an offer deadline for Tuesday at 5. We had it under contract on Sunday, at asking price, before the other buyers ever got to write anything.

A Vienna house drew an all-cash buyer, and our clients needed financing. We structured the escalation and the terms around what the seller actually cared about. Under contract four days after it listed.

Only a handful of homes sell in their target neighborhood each year, and they'd already lost one. The next was for sale by owner, never listed. They kept every contingency and still got repairs and a credit.
