About Suzanne
Thanks for visiting. How can I help?

I sell real estate in DC and Maryland, primarily representing sellers of condos, co-ops, and historic houses. I have over 20 years of active and consistent experience in both jurisdictions.

I work very closely with clients, which means that I personally take on only a few projects at a time.

I am supported by my team at Arrow Group, which provides admin and other hands on assistance.

Comprehensive listing service includes: 
-consultation on preparing your property for sale 
-market valuation based upon data and week to week trends 
-supervision of pre-listing prep quotes, and project management of seller approved work
-marketing strategy 
-supervision of staging, professional photography, and marketing collateral 
-direct networking with agents representing buyers in your immediate market area 
-Distribution of listing information through targeted hyperlocal marketing, as well as broader social media channels 
-management of property access, open houses, and follow up communication with showing agents 
-detailed contract review, and negotiation strategy 
-support and guidance throughout the contract to close period

International clients
I often work with World Bank and foreign service clients.

I can assist with international and domestic referrals, as I actively build my network with brokers abroad and throughout the United States.

-Pied a Terre in Washington, DC 
-Investment real estate in Washington, DC 
-Equestrian, Ranch and Land anywhere in the US
 
Real estate developers, builders, investors
I have represented developers in DC for over 20 years, on acquisitions, new construction strategy, new construction sales, and affordable (IZ and ADU) sales.
