About Me
I have always considered education to be an important aspect of my professional identity. To that end, I am an Associate Broker in the District of Columbia (Washington) and Maryland and a salesperson in Virginia (for now at least). I hold the GRI (Graduate, Realtor Institute), the ABR (Accredited Buyer Representative), a Senior Real Estate Specialist, and an ePro. I am a member of the National Association of Realtors, the Washington DC Association of Realtors, the Greater Capital Area Association of Realtors, the Real Estate Buyers Agent Council, and numerous other affiliations. I am also a member of GCAAR's Professioanl Development Committee (2 years), GCAAR Cares Committee, and previously served on the Public Policy Committee

I am a multi-million dollar producer for the past 3 years. I have achieved membership in my broker's performance clubs. I am a dog owner (3 of them) and a resident of the area for the past 10 years.

I look forward to helping you!

That's a hard question to answer for you right now Alex. What do I think will happen? We are in the spring market right now and are seeing a stabilization of the market. Our hope is that this is the start of a trend of upward or at least minimum holding your own. If you are thinking of selling, this is probably a good time unless you are wanting to take a chance on where the market goes next year. - Mon May 19 2008, 10:22

John it is very difficult to make predictions. There are so many factors that weigh into these considerations. One of the biggest factors is the economy (there's the e word). The previous administration and current administration in DC are committed to the H Street Corridor. They actually call it the "Atlas District" and I've seen it really grow over the past few years. I think while Ft. Totten is a growing area, the Atlas District is going to move so much faster and will be the new U Street.

Average Closing Cost in DC area!

Dana Couch-davis answered:
Typically with an FHA loan I recommend that the client has at least 5% of the fee available. There are legal ways that are unique where we can get the seller to pickup some of those costs for the homebuyer. There is nothing underhanded about what I do, but there is a FHA funding fee that has to be included in the closing costs, in addition to the appraisal fee which is often slightly higher since FHA requires more than a cursory inspection. Also remember that if you are buying a Condo or Coop (which are popular in this area) the building has to be approved by FHA. This can be a time consuming process which can also delay the closing. - Tue May 13 2008, 08:34

Is a former realtor obligated to a commission?

Dana Couch-davis answered:
If the former realtor is not currently licensed he is not entitled to the commission. He has to be active and affiliated with a broker - Tue May 13 2008, 07:59
