An excerpt from my brief chapter in Jimmy Rex's new book for which I was interviewed, THE NEXT WAVE OF INFLUENCE IN REAL ESTATE (releasing Sept 10):

"Do everything with authenticity and integrity. Those are timeless values that never go out of style. Don’t be afraid to tell people no. If the seller wants you to take a listing at an outrageous price, have enough respect for them and for yourself to tell them what the reality is and to teach them what the reality of the market is. Don’t make promises to people that you can’t keep. Listing something really high just to take the listing is a promise you know you can’t keep."

This is so very cool!

HOMEVISIT VIRTUAL TOUR: 1901 WYOMING AVE NW #60, WASHINGTON, DC 20009 listed by Sammy Dweck

When renowned Washington architect Arthur Heaton designed The Altamont for Col. George Truesdell in 1915, the developer elected to forego a floor of income to create enjoyable apartments with ten-foot ceilings while conforming to the Height Act.

More than a century later, Truesdell's ethic of first-class choices reverberates throughout this historic Beaux Arts building. The full-service Altamont offers a 24-hour concierge, historic reception room for entertaining, magnificent roof terrace, extra storage and updated community laundry room.

The Altamont is located in storied Kalorama, a world-class residential enclave steps to the heart of the city.

Meticulously maintained, the Altamont is a pre-eminent Washington co-op featured in James Goode's "Best Addresses" and is a contributing structure to the Kalorama Triangle Historic District.
