About J. D'Ann

The home buying and selling process doesn’t have to be intimidating. With me as your guide, navigating a successful real estate transaction can be a swift and enjoyable experience. A skilled negotiator, I thrive in a competitive market, thinking outside the box to craft unique and innovative strategies, distinguishing my buyer clients in multiple-offer situations. When representing sellers, I know how to properly price, prep and market a home to ensure the maximum return and a seamless sale. After graduating from UT Austin, I began my real estate career with a major production home builder before obtaining my real estate license in 2003. With over 20 years of experience in the real estate industry and a background in new construction, I have the experience and dedication you need to succeed in the DC Metro area market. I also believe in a holistic educational approach to my clients’ real estate journey. While it can be easy to get discouraged in a high-cost-of-living area, I am committed to helping people realize their real estate dreams and removing barriers to home ownership. Regardless of where I call home, I strongly believe in giving back to the community. I have volunteered with Manna Food Center, Montgomery County Coalition for the Homeless, Comfort Cases (organized the 2024 eXp Community Day) and World Central Kitchen. I also serve on the Board of Directors for Hero Dogs, a local organization dedicated to providing service dogs free of charge to veterans and former first-responders with a disability.

Best agent ever

D’Ann exceeded all of our expectations. She knew the market, provided high-level expertise and proved to be a trusted advisor throughout the entire process. We will never use another agent again.

D'Ann is the best real estate agent I've worked with...

D’Ann is the best real estate agent I’ve worked with. She is professional, responsive, patient, proactive, and an excellent listener. We met and I explained what I was looking for. Within days we were viewing available condos, and we found the one I wanted within two weeks. A little more than a month later, I closed and moved in. D’Ann was with me every step of the way. In fact, she often anticipated my questions and needs before I realized them myself. She made suggestions and recommendations for potential insurers, home warranty companies, cleaners, movers – she knows the area SO WELL. She had existing relationships with my lender, and other service providers I chose. She also made sure the seller made the necessary repairs, and left the property clean. Throughout my time working with D’Ann, I always felt respected, like I was a priority, and my business was appreciated. I highly recommend D’Ann, and I plan to work with her for all of my future real estate needs.

Could not be happier!

My wife and I found a new home to buy off market. When we got ratified, we new we had to list our current home right away, since we were looking to sell prior to closing on the new home. Three days later, we had our initial meeting with D’Ann to discuss initial steps and when to hit the market. She provided a very helpful list to get our home “show ready” and recommended a competitive list price. Our home hit the market the following Friday, and due to D’Ann’s amazing home pictures, virtual online tour and premarket advertising, we had immediate interest. We had 7 private showings the first day and a half, which included 5 competitive offers, 4 of which had escalation clauses. D’Ann walked us through each offer very throughly, and answered every call and question we had. Our home was under contract in less than two days and sold well above list with all of the additional terms we requested! Our sale successfully closed two weeks prior to our purchase, which meant we had more funds to bring to settlement, leading to a lower mortgage rate. We could not have been more happy with D’Ann and City Chic, and 100% recommend them to anybody looking to buy or sell a home.

Working with City Chic (for the second time!) we found again this is a company with realtors who value professionalism over profit, genuinely care for their clients welfare, and put in the the extra mile to achieve success. Our realtor D’Ann was more than an agent- she was our counselor, our confidant, and our trusted ally. She saw us through challenging times and things out of left field that couldn’t be controlled or planned for. Even at our most nervous and stressed points (working a three-property transaction isn’t simple!) we felt taken care of and that we were in good hands. D’Ann has been a calming presence and gave us confidence from start to finish. She is responsive, organized, straight forward, clarified the complexities of real estate, and navigated VA bureaucracy brilliantly! We HIGHLY recommend City Chic without reservation.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience selling our home with D’Ann of City Chic Real Estate

My husband and I had a wonderful experience selling our home with D’Ann of City Chic Real Estate. She was very prompt in meeting with us and extremely thorough in presenting a concise plan for the sell of our home grounded in her track record of sales in the area. She was great at communicating with us throughout the showing and open house process and showed extra care as we handled the sale during the midst of a nation health pandemic. We were pleased when her efforts resulted in multiple offers over asking price on the initial open house. We will definitely use and recommend her in the future.
