Reviews and About Alan
Listed below are some positive reviews from past clients.
- I first met Alan when he was the listing agent for the condo I purchased. He was professional, neighborly, and the best possible representative for the property and the neighborhood. When it came time for me to sell that same condo, there was no other choice for my listing agent. Alan worked closely with me to ensure the condo was prepped to show as well as could be, accommodated my needs for timing, listed the condo so that it showed beautifully online, and then managed the offerors and the eventual auction process so that I achieved a better outcome than I could have hoped for. I can't make a higher recommendation than mine for Alan Wagman - thank you, Alan! - Nicholas Schacht
- As of this month, I am a first-time home-owner and Alan was my realtor. I had an extremely positive experience working with Alan and would recommend him without reservation to anyone. He is knowledgeable, honest, and a great person to work with. He was very proactive, letting me know about properties that were coming on the market and showing me a variety of properties I did not even know existed in order to give me a full picture of what is available and to get a better sense of location, amenities, and other important factors that would figure into the final decision. Alan walked me through the bidding and closing processes, both of which were new to me. Once we closed, he helped me to find trustworthy contractors to work on the upgrades I wanted. If you've ever worked with an unreliable contractor, you understand how important this is. I consider myself fortunate to have had such a good realtor on the first go-around.

- We highly recommend our realtor, Alan Wagman. Our townhouse sold in TWO days - Alan was there advising on paint, problems, suggestions for a better look - you name it. If you don't already have a realtor, you should give him a call. He is wonderful and extremely detail-oriented.

I have owned and resided in an Old Town EYA (Eakin Youngentob Associates) built townhome for the past 27 years. I consider myself an expert on all of the EYA built communities in Old Town Alexandria having toured most of the models and I am familiar with the unique characteristics of the homes and communities. Braddock Lofts is one of 8 communities built by EYA in Old Town within the past 16 years. The EYA built communities in Old Town are special and unique places to live and Braddock Lofts is a community that embraces that model. I've had the privilege of working with a number of owners in the community to purchase, sell or rent their homes. Braddock Lofts is an active community with numerous interest groups and social activities. Residents enjoy urban, luxury living within walking distance of Old Town's charming shops, restaurants and retail. The community is just two blocks to the Braddock Road Metro and a resident can be in Downtown Washington within 20 minutes by train or 15 minutes by car.
With the growth and opportunities of the local residential real estate market, I felt I was ready for the challenge of branching out on my own and starting my own real estate business. Since joining RE/MAX Allegiance in 2004, I have sold over $90 Million in residential real estate. My skills and prior experience in competing for, winning and managing multi-million contracts in the commercial and government contracting world translated perfectly to hanle the responsibilities of a Realtor during residential real estate transactions where so much is on the line for my clients.

During seller consultations, I provide crucial advice and feedback as to what improvements and enhancements might be needed so that the buyer can focus on the important qualities of the home. The advice that I've provided to my clients has enabled homeowners to get their homes sold in one of the most difficult real estate markets seen in decades. I have relationships with several outstanding contractors and service providers that my clients have taken advantage of to make the necessary improvements to get their homes into the condition that is needed to get a home sold. The net results have often been homes selling in a faster amount of time than others and higher net offers.
If you are a buyer looking in Braddock Lofts or other communities in Alexandria, I have outstanding knowledge of the various neighborhoods that make up the surrounding area. I have all of the tools and resources to keep you completely informed of any new listings that might meet your exact search requirements. It is not uncommon for me to receive a call or email from a customer who I met a year ago at an open house who has been regularly been receiving my weekly email reports that have kept them informed of the latest real estate trends and prices. I also get a significant amount of my business from past clients who have referred their friends, family and associates to me. I believe the reason for this is the individual attention that you get from working only with me throughout the process from pre-approval for loan qualification all the way through final walk-through and closing.
Selling residential real estate is not just a job but a personal commitment to my clients because I am helping you with what is often the one of the most important financial decisions you will ever make. Having a dedicated and devoted Realtor thinking about the myriad of variables that can occur during a real estate transaction and having the experience and intuition to anticipate an event that can affect the outcome of a transaction is essential to help you accomplish your real estate objectives. The advice and information I have provided to my clients throughout my real estate career has produced superior results and accomplished objectives.
If you are considering selling your home or looking to buy one here in Braddock Lofts or in another location, I would be delighted to work with you. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
