Experience:

• I am qualified to help you buy a home, sell a home, or rent a home. I serve as a buyer's agent to help clients buy homes. I serve as a listing agent to help clients sell homes. As time allows, I help clients find renters for their investment properties. I have a number of clients who have been very pleased with my services.
    
• I am a full time real estate agent.  My compensation is 100% commission, not salary, so I am motivated to get your transaction to completion. Since one of the most important marketing tools I have is my reputation, I work to make sure you're happy -- whether that takes 1 week or 2 years.  Testimonials from my happy clients speak for themselves.
    
• I am a Realtor®.  The term is a registered collective membership mark that identifies me as a real estate professional who is a member of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION of REALTORS® and a subscriber to its strict Code of Ethics. The Code establishes time-honored and baseline principles that come from the collective experiences of REALTORS® since the Code of Ethics was first established in 1913. Those principles can be loosely defined as:  (1) loyalty to clients; (2) fiduciary (legal) duty to clients; (3) cooperation with competitors; (4) truthfulness in statements and advertising; and (5) non-interference in exclusive relationships REALTORS® have with their clients.
    
• I have lived in the Washington, D.C. area for more than 20 years.  I have personally experienced a lot of what this region has to offer. Originally drawn by the excitement of the area's central role in international trade and public policy, I have traveled to more than 30 countries on 6 continents -- as well as up and down Pennsylvania Avenue from the Capitol to the White House in pursuit of public policy goals. Because of this work, I developed and internalized a strong commitment to customer service.  I switched to real estate so that I could put into practice for myself the various strategies and ideas I honed in program and association management.  I enjoy the problem-solving aspect of real estate where I am challenged each day to find a way to match each client's needs with current market conditions.
    
• I have three basic personal goals:  (1) to improve the lives of people in need, I support the American Cancer Society and Homestretch, Inc.; (2) to encourage tolerance and understanding, I support the Human Rights Campaign and Seeds of Peace; and (3) to minimize human impact on the environment, I support the Land Trust of Virginia and the Potomac Conservancy.  I drive a gas-electric hybrid vehicle and I try to plant my home garden with native plants.

If you think we might work well together, please contact me.  Thank you!
