What I tell families heading here

Want to live in DC itself? I'm licensed in Virginia and Maryland, so I'll connect you with a DC agent I trust.

Schools
Comparing schools
Every family weighs schools differently. I'll point you to official school district boundaries and state report cards so you can compare for yourself, and I'll make sure the homes we look at are zoned where you want them.
Your base's School Liaison Officer is another great resource. They can help with enrollment, transfers, and special programs.
School assignments can change. Always confirm a home's assigned schools with the school district.
