If you like woods, you'd love Forest Hills. And if you like to be near great restaurants, book stores and other fun, you'll really like Forest Hills. It's a neighborhood just north of the Van Ness Metro station east of Connecticut Avenue. The homes in this neighborhood are quite spectacular. O...

Crestwood is where I live. It's surrounded on three sides by Rock Creek Park, and about two and a half miles north of the White House. So it's downtown, but it has just a bit of a suburban feel to it. The housing stock here is pretty eclectic. There are Wardman style row houses off 16th Stree...

Cleveland Park is a neighborhood in the shadow of the National Cathedral with many wonderful old historic homes. There are huge old Queen Ann and Victorian mansions and not so huge Wardman style town houses. And like many parts of the District of Columbia, the market looks pretty darned great...

An agent I really respect recently listed a great house in a wonderful neighborhood, and when I previewed the place, I was sure it would fly off the shelf. It didn't. When I went onto MRIS to email the photos to a client, I quickly understood. Her photos were dark, grainy and the house looked ...

There have been a lot of posts this months about blog content, and how to overcome writers' block. I have a suggestion. Whenever I am having a hard time thinking of what to write, I ask myself, "What could I write about that I would be able to post on 'Diary of a Realtor'?" Things come up in our ...

This is a bridge over Rock Creek along the bicycle path. I took it from the car (no, I wasn't driving) speeding along Beach Drive after a last week's snow. It was a really, really gray day, and this was a color shot! If you are planning a move to or from the Washington, DC area, I can help!...
