I've lived in Washington, DC for 25 years. In 2003 I began to look into the prospect of purchasing a primary residence; the booming housing market led to a dramatic increase in rent in most neighborhoods. After consulting with Mr. Milanese, we determined that I would qualify for a mortgage that would allow me to maintain my monthly expense output and have housing security.<br/><br/>Mr. Milanese was very straightforward regarding expectations and led me in the right direction in searching for a condominium within my price range. When the opportunity to purchase presented itself he shepherded me through the entire process, taking the lead role in negotiating with the seller. I had to do very little "leg-work" and moved into my new condo 28 days after my contract was accepted. Mr. Milanese was present and active throughout the process, even attending settlement with me to ensure that everything was in order.<br/><br/>I found Mr. Milanese to be an invaluable individual assett in this process. His knowledge of the law, rules and regulations governing the real estate industry made an intimidating process much simpler than I could have hoped it would be. Mr. Milanese was always warm and personable with everyone involved; at the same time he was honest and I feel I couldn't have navigated this process without his guidance/assistance.
