Washington D.C. Relocation & Referral Promotion

Are you considering buying real estate in Washington D.C.? I work with an extensive group of REALTORS®, real estate agents, and relocation experts in Washington D.C. in a kind of referral network. Using this referral system ensures my clients receive first rate service, even when their real estate needs extend beyond my Multiple Listing coverage area. I have very tough standards and high criteria that must be met by any Washington agent or broker wishing to receive a referral from me. And, being a real estate professional and member of the National Association of REALTORS®, I can identify the first-class from the mediocre. I’ll interview potential agents, investigate their current productivity and asses their past performance as a Buyer’s Agent.

Every move or relocation inherently comes with a myriad of concerns to cope with. Let me provide the valuable service of seeking out and initiating contact with a highly qualified Washington real estate professional that’s eager to assist you.

Naturally, the first question that arises is, “How much is this valuable service going to cost me?” Now, here’s where a good deal get’s better;

$ When I Give a Referral, You Get Paid $

Just for allowing me to put you in touch with a skilled Washington real estate professional, I’LL PAY YOU! It’s commonplace, when applicable, for real estate agents to share a portion of their Buyer’s Agent Commission with the referring agent. It’s a show of appreciation and is aptly known as a referral fee.

I’LL GIVE 50% OF THE REFERRAL FEE TO YOU!

And remember, as a home buyer it costs you absolutely nothing for top notch professional representation. All the real estate commissions are paid by the seller, who has already negotiated and entered into a contractual agreement with their Washington Listing Agent prior to their house being listed on the market.

Prime importance: in order to get paid for your next move or Washington D.C. property purchase, all I ask that you CONTACT ME FIRST. That’s the only way I can seek out a qualified Washington agent and arrange the introductions.

Washington D.C. Real Estate

Washington, D.C. is the capital city of the United States of America. “D.C.” is an abbreviation for the District of Columbia, the federal district coextensive with the city of Washington. The city is named after George Washington, military leader of the American Revolution and the first President of the United States.

The District of Columbia and the city of Washington are coextensive and are governed by a single municipal government. For most practical purposes, they are considered to be the same entity, though this was not always the case. As late as 1871, when Georgetown ceased to be a separate city, there were multiple jurisdictions within the District. Although there is a municipal government and a mayor, Congress has the supreme authority over the city and district, which results in citizens having a different status and less representation in government than residents of the states.

The centers of all three branches of the U.S. federal government are in the District. It also serves as the headquarters for the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the Organization of American States, and other national and international institutions. Washington is the frequent location of large political demonstrations and protests, particularly on the National Mall. Washington is the site of numerous national landmarks, monuments, and museums, and is a popular destination for tourists.

It is commonly known as D.C., The District, or simply Washington. Historically, it was called the Federal City or Washington City. To avoid confusion with the state of Washington, located in the Pacific Northwest, the city is often called simply D.C., and the state referred to as “Washington State.” The population of the District of Columbia, as of 2005 U.S. Census Bureau estimates, is 582,049 persons. The Washington Metropolitan Area surpasses 5 million persons, and the Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan Area surpasses 8 million. If Washington, D.C. were a state, it would rank last in area behind Rhode Island, 50th in population ahead of Wyoming, first in population density ahead of New Jersey, and 35th in Gross State Product.

Washington, D.C. is located at 38°53′42″N, 77°02′11″W (the coordinates of the Zero Milestone, on The Ellipse). According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 68.3 square miles (177.0 km²). 61.4 square miles (159.0 km²) of it is land and 6.9 square miles (18.0 km²) of it (10.16%) is water.

Washington is surrounded by the states of Maryland (on its southeast, northeast, and northwest sides) and Virginia (on its western side); it interrupts those states' common border, which is the Potomac River's southern shore both upstream and downstream from the District. The Potomac River as it passes Washington is virtually entirely within the District of Columbia border because of colonial riparian rights between Maryland and Virginia.

The District has three major natural flowing streams: the Potomac River, the Anacostia River, and Rock Creek. The Anacostia River and Rock Creek are tributaries of the Potomac River. There are also three man-made reservoirs: Dalecarlia Reservoir, which crosses over the northwest border of the District from Maryland; McMillan Reservoir near Howard University; and Georgetown Reservoir upstream of Georgetown.

The highest point in the District of Columbia is 410 feet (125 m) above sea level at Tenleytown. The lowest point is sea level, which occurs along all of the Anacostia shore and all of the Potomac shore except the uppermost portion (the Little Falls - Chain Bridge area). The sea level Tidal Basin rose eleven feet during Hurricane Isabel on September 18, 2003.

The geographic center of the District of Columbia is located near 4th Street NW, L Street NW, and New York Avenue NW (not under the Capitol Dome, as is sometimes said.)

Geographical features of Washington, D.C. include Theodore Roosevelt Island, Columbia Island, the Three Sisters, and Hains Point.

Washington is in the northern periphery of the humid subtropical climate zone. Its climate is typical of the Mid-Atlantic U.S., with four distinct seasons. Summer tends to be hot and humid with daily high temperatures in July and August averaging in the high 80s° to low 90s°F (about 30° to 33°C). The combination of heat and humidity makes thunderstorms very frequent in the summer, some of which occasionally produce tornadoes in the area. Spring and fall are mild with high temperatures in April and October averaging in the high 60s° Fahrenheit (about 20 °C). Winter brings cool temperatures and occasional snowfall. Average highs tend to be in the 40s (4 to 8 °C) and lows in the 20s (-6 to -2 °C) from mid December to mid February. While hurricanes (or the remnants of them) occasionally track through the area in the late summer and early fall, they have often weakened by the time they reach Washington. Spring is generally the most favorable time of year, with low humidity, mild temperatures and blooming foliage. This period generally lasts from late March until mid May.

The average annual snowfall is 15 inches (381 mm) and the average high temperature in January is 43 °F (6 °C); the average low for January is 27 °F (-3 °C). The highest recorded temperature was 106 °F (41 °C) on July 20, 1930 and August 6, 1918 and the lowest recorded temperature was -15 °F (-26 °C) on February 11, 1899.
