I met Ira when I first moved to DC in 2000. I was told he would find me the perfect place and he did three times! I have owned and sold three houses in DC all with Ira and Company at my side advising me and making sure every step of the purchase and sale was done right. I just sold my last house at the end of 2009. The economy did not make it easy but Ira knew exactly how to market the house and get it sold. He helped me through every step of the process despite the fact that I was often out of the country and hard to reach. Everyone else was saying houses weren’t selling and if you were lucky enough to sell, you were not going to make any money on the sale. Ira never doubted but never made overblown promises. He kept me on a steady course and encouraged me by constantly working to make sure he was marketing the house correctly. In the end, the house sold, I did not lose money, and The H…

I have worked with Ira since 2011. My first experience was amazing as we spent the day looking at condos and by the end of the day, we had a contract on a condo in Columbia Heights - the fastest process ever. Again in 2016, we worked together to find our next home. This time it took longer, but they were great and patient. After seeing 70 properties and losing bids on several, we finally found a place in Adams Morgan. When we decided to sell in 2018, they helped us find contractors to do some remodeling and staging for the sale. The results were fantastic and the sale went super smooth. This relationship has transitioned from a business to a personal relationship, and we cannot imagine working with anyone else to buy or sell a property.
I've used Ira twice in the past nine years, to buy and sell my condo. He is a fantastic realtor - his knowledge of the local DC market is unsurpassed and his customer service is outstanding. It took me almost a whole year to find the right condo in DC. Ira spent so much time and effort over that year helping me, but never once gave up or lost patience. When I was relocated overseas late last year for work and wanted to sell my condo, I of course went to Ira. He took care of everything from start to finish - I never had to worry once, even though I was on the other side of the globe. All of his advice was spot on, from doing minor renovations to the listing price to the staging. Thanks to him, we got an incredible offer on the first weekend. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in the DC region!
West End, Washington DC, I had a fantastic experience working with Ira. I was looking at both townhouses and condominiums, and he was knowledgeable and well-versed in both. He has a fantastic understanding of the marketplace coming from years of experience, and we routinely interacted with agents who knew and trusted Ira from past transactions. He is also exceptionally kind and thoughtful on a personal level – the kind of person whom you want on your side when making an important decision like buying a home.
