"I've got a GLOWING review for this guy & I'm not much for glowing! My husband & I were searching for a home to buy in DC last yr & we met Nate at an open house. We are somewhat seasoned home hunters & I usually run from agents at open houses because I feel like most are breathing down your neck & stalking you for your business, even when you tell them you're already working with an agent. Well, we both instantly liked what this guy had to offer, after talking to him for 20 min or so it was clear that he had extensive knowledge of the Cap Hill area were we met him, as well as the rest of the DC area, not so with the other DC agent we'd worked with. So Nate helped my husband & I search near & far all over the district (I really do mean all over!) for our home. He brought great insight to the table as far as the very different neighborhoods that make up the district & really just had such a likable personality that I didn't mind spending day after day house hunting along side him. We've worked with a bunch of different agents in many different cities and by far Nate was the best on many levels. Did I mention that I had my 1 yr old daughter with me the entire time! She absolutely LOVED him & I think the feeling was mutual because he didn't mind her tagging along at all, even when she missed her nap & turned into monster baby! He had no problem carrying her or feeding her some snacks either! I think he even blew her nose a few times!! Now that is service! lol. In general I'd recommend him to anyone looking to buy in DC, whether you're looking for a small condo or a huge house, he knows it all. He showed us a wide gamut of properties to satisfy my curiosity & let me get a feel for the different areas & options available in our $ range across the city before we finally decided on "the one". He often had some little thing to point out when we were looking at property, that after seeing a bunch of properties back to back & feeling tired & cross eyed, we'd not noticed or never would have thought of (which I found very helpful). He was a great "tour guide" & I learned quite a few short cuts in & out of different neighborhoods that, being somewhat new to the area at the time, I gained all new perspective for the ins & outs of the city, so that was an added bonus! We found it really helpful & comforting to that find out that he spends a lot of time on the web & blogs on different DC neighborhoods- so he's always got a tidbit to share & the most recent news on growing neighborhoods across the district. Regardless of what or where you're looking, I can honestly say, Nate knows DC property! Even though we knew he was busy, he always made time for a last minute or late night showing & had a way of making us feel like we were his only clients. He's the kind of agent who is not in your face pushy but is going to make sure that you find what you want even if it means showing you a hundred properties, we were very particular & he wasn't going to give up until we found something that were not just comfortable in, but something that we were really happy with! He really made it a point to wrap his head around what we needed & wanted to find the best home for us. Overall, we meshed well, which really counts & he's got the most up to date real estate knowledge of any agent we've worked with. We'd definitely recommend him & will no doubt be listing with him when we're ready to sell!" Read More

Chevy Chase DC Condos

The common trade-off between living in a condo and living in a detached house or other single-family home is that of space for convenience. The condos in DC’s Chevy Chase neighborhood are no exception and they include 5112 Connecticut, 5309 Connecticut, Chase Plaza Condos, The Jocelyn, The Garfield, The Louie, and Christopher Mews.

All Chevy Chase condos can be found--as you may be able to guess by now--along Connecticut Ave NW. This thoroughfare is the social and commercial hub of Chevy Chase. Residents of these multi-family buildings enjoy not only the convenience and proximity of the retail and dining options that abound on Connecticut Ave NW, such as Safeway and Magruder’s Supermarkets, Bread & Chocolate, American City Diner, The Avalon Theater, and Politics & Prose Bookstore, but the road itself. Thanks to Pierre L’Enfant’s desire for sweeping diagonal avenues in his original plan for the Federal City, Chevy Chase condo dwellers enjoy the use of Connecticut Ave NW, taking them over the Maryland line to the north, or as far as the White House to the south.

The final, and perhaps most enticing, draw of Chevy Chase condos are the conveniences and amenities found within. It makes perfect sense, given the busy lives that so many Washingtonians lead, that many desire the lush surroundings of Chevy Chase that offer them respite from downtown DC bustle, and none of the maintenance and upkeep that come with detached real estate ownership.

The various condos of Chevy Chase feature such amenities as security staff, private laundry facilities, party rooms, and roof decks. It also bears noting that many Chevy Chase condos feature near-panoramic windows, and as the neighborhood is situated about a hundred feet higher than downtown and the National Mall, stunning views are easy to come by.
