With over six years in Real Estate, I've sold over 80 homes valued at over $30 Million! As an Associate Broker in Washington DC, and a licensed Realtor in Maryland and Virginia, I'm affiliated with Long & Foster Realtors, the largest Mid-Atlantic privately-owned brokerage.  I chose Long and Foster because they are a "full-service" brokerage with an excellent reputation for delivering high-quality service to its customers.  Long and Foster has one of the best "in-house" training programs and holds its agents to the highest ethical standards.  Hiring a Long and Foster agent means that you have access to a wealth of knowledge from hundreds of real estate professionals with years of experience.  By hiring me, you're hiring a full team of professionals! 

I believe the reason for my success is largely due to the quality relationships I have with people who've entrusted me with one of the largest financial decisions they'll ever make.  In addition to that, I continue to educate myself, well beyond the minimum requirements for Realtors, since I strongly believe that one should continue learning.  Being affiliated with the Chevy Chase Sales Office of Long and Foster and by working in one of the most desired locations for Real Estate investing in the world are also major factors!  Finally, I believe that it's important to provide clients as little, or as much assistance as they desire.  I can provide the tools and resources for them to do their own research, then when they're ready for assistance, I'm there to ensure a smooth closing.  Today, the public wants access to the right information in order to make informed decisions!  I do my best to help make that information accessible.

I truly enjoy helping people reach their goals by investing in real estate.  I've learned first-hand how it can dramatically improve one's quality of life.  It's worked for me and it can work for you too!

Originally from Youngstown, Ohio, I graduated from Youngstown State University with a B.A in Accounting.  After working for a short while for the State of Ohio Auditor's Office, I moved to the Washington DC area in 1989 for a foreign service career with USAID.  I was later assigned to Singapore where I lived for three years and traveled around SE Asia auditing forein aid programs to developing countries.  I returned to DC in 1993 and later left the government to work for KPMG LLP where I worked as a consultant managing a variety of audit/consulting projects for large government and private sector organizations. 

I purchased my first home in 2000.  Then I bought a rental rehab property, and then another, and one more.  I so enjoyed everything about the housing market that I decided that I wanted to try to make a living buying and selling Real Estate.  I left my auditing/consulting career in early 2003 and haven't looked back!  I LOVE buying and selling real estate and helping others to do the same!  It's the best investment one can make and it's something that I should've done much earlier!  I love sharing what I've learned and helping my friends and clients make the decision to buy and sell.

I LOVE Running and have just completed my 2nd Marathon!  In addition to Real Estate, I enjoy "going the extra mile" for a good cause. This April, I ran in the 111th Boston Marathon as part of "Team Hoyt" and, in addition to running 26.2 miles, I raised $3,000 for The Hoyt Foundation. If you´re not familiar with "Dick and Rick Hoyt", or are interested in supporting their cause, please go to: http://www.firstgiving.com/marian26  Thank-you!

In addition to Real Estate, I"m also very passionate about maintaining a fit, healthy lifestyle and like to encourage others to do the same.  Along with my partner, Michelle, we recently purchased a CURVES fitness center for women and so enjoy being in such a positive environment that encourages women to become more empowered and to live longer, more enriched lives!  For more information, please go to www.curvesclevelandpark.com.

I enjoy traveling which I believe is the greatest form of Education!
