Where would you like to start?
Every path below leads to the same person. Pick whichever sounds like you.
I'm buying
Search homes across the DMV — and send me any listing you're unsure about. I'll walk it with you and tell you what the repairs and updates actually cost before you write an offer.
Search homes and get a repair estimateI'm selling
Start with what your home is worth today. If it needs work first, my crew can handle the updates that raise the number — no contractor hunt, no juggling two companies.
Get your home valuationI'm investing, renovating, or building
Fix-and-flip, rental rehabs, new construction, and land. I find the property, price the rehab, build it, and manage it once it's rented — all under one roof, in Virginia, DC, and Maryland.
See how the process worksWhat the second license actually changes
The difference isn't a longer list of services. It's that the person advising you on the house is the same person who knows what it costs to fix it.
You get a real number, not a guess
Most agents describe a kitchen as dated. I can tell you what replacing it costs in this market, what it adds back at resale, and whether it's worth doing before you list or leaving for the buyer.
The fixer-upper stops being a gamble
Structural or cosmetic? Permit or no permit? Six weeks or six months? Those are the questions that stop buyers from bidding on the houses with the most room to gain. We answer them on the walkthrough.
Pre-listing work happens in-house
Paint, flooring, bathrooms, curb appeal — scheduled against your listing date by the same team running the sale, so nothing slips between a contractor's calendar and the photographer's.
Investors get one point of contact
Sourcing, rehab scope, construction, tenant placement, and ongoing management. One person accountable for the whole cycle instead of four vendors blaming each other.
