Hi there—I’m Susan.
If you’re buying, selling, or investing in Washington DC real estate, or thinking about it, you’re in the right place.
I’ve spent a decade and a half helping clients navigate the complexities of the DC real estate market, building strategies for buyers, sellers and investors. Decoding market shifts. Off-market listing strategies. Policy changes. Pricing puzzles. Property pitfalls... and the occasional renovation drama. There’s a new challenge every day.
What do you need to know? Maybe the things most agents won’t say out loud.
This newsletter is where I share them with you.
Pricing psychology that actually works in DC
How to negotiate broker compensation
How strategic ‘private exclusive’ marketing plans help sellers create leverage
How to spot renovation risk, “too good to be true” flips, and avoid new construction traps
How to accurately value or price property

What new condo boards need to know the minute they take over

Investor Intel — 1031s, short-term rentals, zoning, permits & profit
