My DMV Realtor

10 years ago I helped an investor redesign and oversee the renovation of a distressed property. After the renovations I was hired to sell it, but due to the extensive amount of improvements, there was a challenge. No neighborhood home had EVER sold for the seller's asking price –even with a contract the appraisal came in low. I fought the appraisal not just because it was low, but because the appraiser did not give the appropriate value to the improvements made. I’d like to say I won, but the real winners were my client and the buyer of that property.

$360,000 in 10 Years.

That’s the profit the buyer made when the home I once sold resold last year for $860,000. Had they rented a similar property for $2,500/month during that same time, they would have lost roughly $300,000 instead.

People often wonder whether to buy or rent—but studies show that wealth is built through owning real estate. The population is growing, the supply of homes isn’t keeping pace, and land is scarce. Property ownership isn’t just important—it’s essential.

If you’re hesitant about buying in a slower market, consider this: slower markets create opportunities for those who are informed. For the first time in years, buyers are in control—no skipped inspections, no waived appraisals, no “sell your firstborn” bidding wars. You can get creative with financing, take advantage of grants, move at your own pace, and buy a home that will serve you now and in the future.
