Our experience of buying a condo with Loic Pritchett
As a member of the Brazilian Parliament and co-chair of the Brazil-United States Parlamentarian group I very often have come to DC. On top of that, our two children will come soon to DC in order tu pursue their pos-graduate studies. So I and my wife Patrícia have decided to buy an appartment in this city which we came to love since our daughter Tatiana lived here in 2008. We also thought that perhaps the economic crisis would help with the house prices. Then we contacted Mr. Pritchett after good comments on his job and reliance made by a friend of mine, a professor of law here in the US.
Our expectations were more than met by the job done by Mr. Pritchett. Together, we spent almost one year looking for the best choice. Every time I came to DC on work or on vacations we made incursions in the market. We visited many, many apartments whose precise number I cannot recall. One can just imagine how the task of deciding which is the best option for a house tend to beocome even harder for a foreigner…But Mr. Pritchett put no restrictions on our natural impulse to ever look for better options. What drew our attention was his patience and honesty of pointing out what he perceveid to be shortcomings or defects in several units we visited. He never tried to persuade us nor he displayed any signs of impatience. So the final choice for a condo in Georgetown park suited very well our expectations. We have stayed here the two months when the Brazilian Congress is in recess. And everyday we realize that the choice we have made with the decisive help of Mr. Pritechett was the one we were looking for since the beginning of our adventure. He worked very hard even to facilitate the complicate procedures of sending the needed cash from abroad and concluding the conctract while the purchaser was in another continent. Without his competence, patience and hard working we wouldn’t have been able to fulfill a dream

I’ve been *thinking about buying* and watching the market for years. i’d met with realtors, but never really clicked or felt like they were listening to me and really looking out for my best interests. loic spent a lot of time explaining the market to me, asking questions about my priorities, listening to me, going out to see places with me so that he could get a feel for what i wanted. he never rushed me and never tried to persuade me. after he understood what i was looking for, he would preview places for me and save me time by eliminating places that he knew would not be a match. we worked together for months, and i never once felt an ounce of frustration or pressure from loic. he is very easy-going. he also has a great sense of the market and home values. he grew up in DC in a realty family, so his experience is deep. he can tell you which places are noisy and which are well-built. he wants you to be truly happy, otherwise he doesn’t feel like he’s done a good job… and he has pride in his work. i cannot say enough good things about my experience working with loic. he made the process so easy for me, and he made sure i was going to be happy with my decision. now, i walk into my condo every day and think, “wow, i can’t believe i own this place!” that’s a great feeling.

We are so pleased that you were able to help us find and buy our first home together.
We entered this process concerned about the changing market, but excited about buying a home before our wedding in April. We looked at numerous properties over the course of 2 months, including one marathon Sunday when we viewed 12 separate properties.
We cannot thank you enough for finding our new home and getting us in to see it the first day it went on the market. Your guidance on the market and price helped us to understand that if we wanted the house, we needed to move quickly–without putting undue pressure on us. You advice proved critical, and one day after our offer was accepted, two more offers came in to the seller, offering more than we paid.
Had you not been so diligent about finding properties for us to view as they went on the market and advising us on which homes were “priced to sell,” we would not be moving into our first home at the end of the month. We appreciated your guidance on making a good offer and working closely with the seller’s agent to put us in the best possible position to have our offer accepted quickly.
Thank you for all your guidance and advice. We would not have found our home without it.
Many thanks,
Katie Hanvey and Brian Peters

When we began to look at real estate, we decided that a condominium purchase somewhere in the District would best meet our needs as “empty nesters.” We attended many open houses in several neighborhoods, viewing at least a dozen different developments. We again discovered that we were gravitating more and more toward properties located in Penn Quarter.
At one open house we met Loic Pritchett, a member of Long & Foster Real Estate’s “Simunek Team.” We were immediately taken by his cordial, low key, low pressured approach. His style was reminiscent of our Midwestern real estate experience, where we had previously purchased and sold five properties.
Within two weeks Loic helped us find a wonderful condo at the Lafayette. We then met with Richard Simunek who, along with Loic, professionally guided us through the process of successfully completing the transaction.
We are very excited about living in Penn Quarter, and highly recommend Loic and the Simunek Team to anyone interested in this vibrant part of D.C.
