We Buy Houses!

As the top-selling Keller Williams real estate agency in the metro DC area, we make a point of knowing people and building our network, whether it’s maintaining a mutually-beneficial arrangement with a mortgage firm that can keep your payments reasonable, or keeping in touch with satisfied customers who are gracious enough to provide us with valuable referrals.

The Best Endorsements Come From Our Partners

Given how the business works, it’s always gratifying to get the approval of our peers, especially that of real estate professionals as highly regarded as Daryl Laster of the DC-based Lance Horsley Team.  A Chicago native with an MBA in Finance and Entrepreneurial Studies from the University of Illinois, Mr. Laster made his name in the restaurant industry before establishing himself in real estate.   A licensed realtor in the DC, MD and VA areas and an integral part of a company acknowledged by many as DC’s Loft Specialists, he had the following to say about his dealings with our firm:

A Peer Review

“Express Home Buyers is an absolute dream to work with.  Their renovations are truly impressive.  Renovations include high quality, hi-end materials and workmanship.  In my opinion, the project was a true renovation in that plumbing, electrical and structural repairs are done when needed, not lipstick on a sow as I often see.”
“Marc [Hershkowitz], as a listing agent for EHB, was equally delightful to work with.  My buyer has custom requests and Marc facilitated her requested with relative ease.  And of course, the buyer agent bonus was like whip cream & a cherry on my sundae.  Thanks again Marc for all!”

Thanks Mr. Laster

We are extremely grateful for all positive feedback and endorsements we receive, especially when they come from a realtor as accomplished as Mr. Laster.
If you’d like to understand why we enjoy excellent relationships with many of our industry peers, visit our website and browse the homes we have available.  We promise to provide you with the same high-level of service and professionalism that Mr. Laster refers to above!

You’ve heard this before from us, but it’s worth repeating: recession or not, this is an INCREDIBLE time to buy a home.  Properties in Northern Virginia are listing (and selling) for 1/3 of the price they would have been going for 3 years ago. As recently as a few months ago, we were buying homes at 40% of their replacement value. Does any of this sound like the market bottoming out?  Sure does to us.

Some more numbers, and a bold claim

On the sales side of our operation, we continue to unload homes 3 times faster than the market average. Want some real numbers?  The last 3 homes we sold lasted 27, 7 and 0 days on the market, respectively (that “0” is not a typo; we actually sold the home before it even made it to listing). As the country’s largest home buying firm and the 8th best selling team in the Keller Williams organization nationwide, we are your go-to source for the best real estate deals in the DC Metro area, a region that includes Maryland and Northern Virginia. Because we work closely with the FDIC, Fannie Mae, Countrywide, Wells Fargo, Indy Mac and many others, we ensure that our level of access to foreclosed homes and REO’s is second to none. You can view our up-to-date inventory at www.ExpressHomebuyers.com/email and www.ExpressRs.com. We’ve said it before in this blog, but here it is again: now is the best time to buy a home in the next 30 years.  If you’d like to hear more about why we this, or if you’re interested in either seeing the homes we have available or selling one of your own, don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
