Great Admenties. Sad there is a $500 fee but not security deposit. This fee is not refundable and it goes with a $75 application fee. So they suck the life out of you as move in. After that I love the place. We have had no problems. They installed new carpet and painted before we moved in. The only problem was fixed with in 24 hours.

Not the right agent for first-time homebuyers

We worked with Hugh for about six months in the DC market..... he is not shy at all about dropping names of congressmen he has worked with, but did not seem to be interested in meeting our needs as first-time homebuyers. He consistently showed us houses above the price range we set (instead, showing us houses the mortagage company said we could afford), and spent more time trying to convince us to "buy bigger" than really help us find what we wanted. After a a few months (but still w/in the buyer-broker contract), he passed us off to his assistant, Paul, who, while well-meaning, was not at all experienced at the time -- and experience is exactly what you need in this tight, fast-paced market.
While working with Hugh's office, we found we still had to reasearch classified ad listings and go to open houses on our own -- and SAW how many great houses in our range were really out there that we weren't being informed about!
We changed agents, and found our dream house -- (and yes, it was in our price range) -- in TWO WEEKS!

After months of working with another realtor, we switched to John Parker under a friend’s recommendation and found our dream house in just a few weeks! John is a great guy, and works extremely hard for his clients (which is especially necessary in this ultra-tight DC market!), and went above and beyond the call of duty to seal the deal for us.

Devoted to helping her clients find the home of their dream or sell their home for the best price possible. Works tirelessly to give them incredible service. Knows realty regulations thoroughly. Extremely honest and upfront about everything. As such, expects her clients to be the same. But that's not too much to ask. This way, she can serve you to the best of her abilities. She really helped us out when we thought we weren't going to be able to find anything. She found our dream home and really made sure that we were well taken care of the entire time. You never know, you may just make a new friend!

I've lived in Washington for 8 years and am on my third landlord. It may simply be because I'm living in a nicer building now than when I first moved here, but so far, Daro has been an excellent landlord. The building is clean and well cared for, they regularly schedule visits from pest control rather than waiting for complaints, and if you put in a maintenance request (whether small or large) the request is usually filled within 24 hours. I might just have good staff working in my building, but I'm assuming it comes from the top.

We used Phyllis Alexander and her team when we were looking for homes in the Washington DC area earlier this year. From the very beginning when she took us on as a client she was the utmost professional, punctual and knew the market well. She patiently showed us homes that were almost right and after only several weeks she found the one that was exactly right. She then took us through the inspection and bidding process to make sure we won the house in a then very competitive market. I strongly recommend Phyllis and the Alexander & Associates team if you are serious about purchasing a home.

I searched far and wide for a cool cut at a reasonable price! The stylists at Urban Style Lab are mostly from Molecule, another modern haircuttery. They were very nice and skilled with the cutting. I had michelle, who was really down to earth and gave me a great hair cut! It was around $75.

...and I am very ambivalent about the building. For undergraduates, it is akin to an :off-campus" dormitory, but right in the center of campus. The maintanence repairs are normally in good time, but I have had repetitive problems.
Also, the lack of choices for cable/satellite makes living in the building more expensive than it needs to be.
They are currently changing windows, but ran into a big problem that is keeping my apartment very cold.
But the staff is helpful, and the neighbors are friendly
