Can anyone recommend an enthusiastic, savvy realtor for DC? My current one is smart, but does nothing other than letting me into the homes I send him, talks up every unit and is rude. I’m happy to do the legwork since it’s my future home on the line, but I don’t feel like giving him the 10k+ commission for basically nothing ☹️

So I always dislike when people say that the seller pays the commission. The buyer is the only one outlaying money, if they weren't paying a realtor the price of the house would be lower

You usually don’t pay commission when buying. Comes out of sellers end.

Yeap, I know - I was just saying I don’t want him to get paid, at all 😊

Katie Wethman and Wendy Wright of the Wethman Group were really good for me as a buyer last year. Katie is a former consultant and Darden MBA, and was great at negotiating and making our offers as competitive as possible.

Look into Randy Lewis at Compass. He knows Nova inside beltway and also DC pretty well. Past experience as a CPA and attorney too. Worked with him six years ago and am starting to think about another move, and he’s still knowledgeable.

Good luck bro. All realtors on the buyers end are pretty much like that. The above posts will try to make it seem better. . Trust me, I just closed and the home I purchased was one I found via open house. Manage expectations and be prepared to do the legwork. (Ps, I have a great relationship with my realtor).

My agent was the principal of a very established firm in the DMV. I only encountered a negative experience dealing with Compass, but that’s my 2 cents.

Washington fine properties, Sotheby’s, all we’re just fine.

Toby Lim at Compass. He got my brother a spot at a new Alexandria townhome in one day. His previous realtor took months with no results. You need that kind of badassery.
