Get to Know Russell Arkin

Imagine the value of a Realtor who, as a former award-winning builder, knows the ins and outs of home construction.

Now imagine one who is a licensed attorney—who understands the legal ramifications of complicated real estate transactions.

It sure would be nice to have just one of those, right? Russell Arkin can do both. Russell graduated from Duke University School of Law in 1977. He developed his legal skills in the private sector, working for two Washington, D.C., law firms until 1984. During his last few years of practice, Russell realized that he was drawn to the field of real estate development and construction.

In 1984, Russell left his legal practice and opened a real estate development company. Using his legal skills and his knowledge of IRS tax incentives, Russell organized the renovation of historic buildings in Gettysburg, PA, and Westminster, MD. The projects brought new housing opportunities for low-income residents of both communities and valuable economic benefits for the investors in both projects.

From 1986 through 1999, Russell, through his companies, built single-family homes and developed new communities in Arlington, Fairfax and Loudoun Counties. A number of Russell’s homes won both local and national awards for their focus on energy-efficient building principles.

Through these experiences, Russell developed an understanding of construction, land development and zoning issues that enables him to provide valuable advice to his current clients.
