For the incoming class of 2027 and the people who make their offices run
Congratulations on your election. Whether you need a weekday residence near the Capitol or a home for your family, I help members, senators and congressional staff buy homes in Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C., with complete discretion.
Your search will never appear in my content: no posts, no tags, no "just closed" photos and no name in any marketing.
Appointments scheduled under my name, not yours. Off-market options where they exist.
I preview homes in person and send video walkthroughs, so your time here is spent on finalists, not first looks.
Senators-elect, Members-elect and Staff
You'll make this decision from your district, in the same weeks you're hiring an office. I keep it short and well informed, and I do the legwork here.
How buying from out of town works →Your chamber, your schedule, your household and your budget. From that, I narrow the region to two or three neighborhoods that fit.
Every home comes with recent sales nearby, the property tax bill and the ride to your office building. I preview each one in person and send video.
You fly in to see the finalists. I negotiate, manage inspections and keep the closing on schedule while you're back in your district.
“We were relocating from out of state and had a lot riding on this move. Pey… helped us buy a home we truly love.”Relocating family · Home buyer, Chevy Chase
Personal and committee staff
New offices hire fast, and new committee majorities hire faster. If you just accepted a job on the Hill, you have weeks, not months, to decide where to live.
Relocating a household
The neighborhoods with a one-seat ride to the Capitol, and the public high schools that serve them.
Walk to both chambers
Many Hill families also apply to D.C.'s public charter lottery.
Red Line to Union Station
Three clusters; which one depends on the street.

Six lines: Red, Orange, Silver, Blue, Yellow and Green. Each card below is a single train, start to finish, with no transfer.
Platform signs and trains show the end of the line, not “inbound” or “eastbound.” From Bethesda, you board the Red Line train marked Glenmont.
Pay with a SmarTrip card or the SmarTrip card in your phone’s wallet. Tap at the gate going in and again going out; the fare depends on distance and time of day.
