Our dear friend and colleague, David Bediz, recently authored an article in The Blade on the current state of the market in the time of Coronavirus. Kara was quoted about her recent listing on Capitol Hill that just sold for $51,000 above list price. Check it out here.

“Some properties, like the recent listing at 142 Kentucky Ave., S.E. in Capitol Hill, listed by my colleague Kara Johnson, received three offers and sold in just 4 days.

Kara, a long-time agent at Keller Williams Capital Properties, attributes her success to the character of the property, its price and the desirability of the location. “It just fits for so many buyers out there. It was a great price and it was move-in ready,” she said.”

Our approach is full-service and hands-on. We customize our services according to your needs. We will coordinate everything from replacing lightbulbs and re-caulking to kitchen and bath updates. Since we also work with buyers, we are experts in what today’s buyers are looking for.

When you work with us you get agents who have:

  • More than 15 years of experience
  • Sold over 190 homes
  • An Average List Price-to-Sold Price Ratio: 102.74%
  • Median Days on Market: 6
  • Exceptional customer service throughout the entire process

What does that mean for you? 

We use our years of experience, hyper-local market knowledge and expertise to get you top dollar in the shortest amount of time possible. 

A little about our process, we will:

  • Guide you throughout every stage of the sale of your home
  • Tour your home with a buyer’s eye and develop a personalized plan and coordinate any and all repairs and updates needed to make your property shine
  • Oversee the professional staging so your home will make the best first impression
  • Advise you on pricing strategically for the current market
  • Market your home through the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), social media, email blasts, the expansive Keller Williams International network, and hundreds of consumer sites 
  • Negotiate fiercely on your behalf to get you the best value for your investment 

Check out some of our Before and After photos from recent listings:

  • BEFORE: Kitchen with a red cork backsplash as an accent
  • AFTER: New gray subway tile backsplash brightens up the kitchen
  • BEFORE: The custom built-in bench was functional but did not show off the beautiful bay window and spaciousness of the room
  • AFTER: The window seat was removed to create a dining area. This, paired with professional staging, lets buyers feel like this could be their home!
  • BEFORE: Accent walls are fun and add a pop of color, but they are a very personal choice.
  • AFTER: A neutral paint brightens the room and opens up the space allowing buyers to envision their furniture in the room.
  • BEFORE: A drab but spacious private deck
  • AFTER: A little work, some plants, and vibrant patio furniture create a space where buyers can picture themselves dining al fresco!
  • BEFORE: In this living room, custom shelves were masked under personal items and the dark furniture made the space feel smaller.
  • AFTER: A new light fixture and a more neutral palette of furniture brighten the room and open up the space.
  • BEFORE: The dark cabinets made this galley kitchen feel closed in and dated.
  • AFTER: Painting the cabinets white and adding modern brass knobs created a brand-new light-filled kitchen!
  • BEFORE: This master bedroom goes from so-so
  • AFTER: To stunning with professional staging to highlight the amazing pieces the seller already owned
  • BEFORE: Small beds prevented and a dark color palette prevented the room from reaching its full potential.
  • AFTER: A lighter color palette and adding a fresh coat of paint brightened the room. The addition of the bed and the desk give the room a clear purpose and make the most of the space.
