We assist buyers and sellers with making educated decisions on how to best maximize the value of their real estate through our analytical software coupled with 40 years of combined experience in real estate and development. Palisades incorporates all the elements of traditional brokerage, but we are backed by the most powerful and comprehensive evaluation model ever created for the Washington, DC residential real estate market.
Contemplating an office addition, an outdoor kitchen or maybe a pool out back? Or perhaps it's a question of whether to improve, or move. We are here to help. Our combined experience in engineering, real estate development, and market analysis ensures you make confident, informed decisions about all aspects of your property.
People use financial advisors to manage their investment portfolios. The same strategic planning and analytics isn’t generally applied to residential real estate. For most people, buying a home or other real estate is the most valuable and time-consuming investment of their lives.
Palisades Brokerage was founded on this concept, to assist folks with making the biggest financial decision of their lives based on analytics and research, not gut and feel.

Accurate Value and Pricing Strategy: Our proprietary model evaluates hundreds of market data points to determine an accurate value and pricing strategy.
Maximization of Value: Preparing your asset for sale through the “maximization of value phase.” This could be simple cosmetic updates, like new paint or refinishing floors, to more complex like a renovation or addition. Our extensive experience in construction, both design and general contracting, allows us to determine the best pathway for our clients to maximize their property. All decisions will be seen through the lens of “ROI” or your return on investment.
Marketing: Palisades Brokerage feels that the marketing of a property extends beyond glossy 4K photos of the property. It should tell a story. From wood flooring that was salvaged and reconditioned from a barn in Vermont to copper gas lanterns that were recovered and reconditioned from New Orleans, we want the marketing literature of your property to resemble something worthy of a newsstand or your coffee table.
Promotion: Even though we feel that the product will speak for itself, Palisades will actively get the word out through websites, print and word of mouth.
