As the seat of the federal government—and home to foreign embassies and international organizations—Washington, DC, draws an incredibly diverse crowd, and international buyers, sellers and investors are a staple of the real estate market. It is that multicultural environment that shaped one of the city’s most unique real estate teams: Team International at Century 21 Redwood.

Team International is a dynamic, multicultural real estate group of five agents boasting over 70 years of combined experience and fluency in more than seven languages (Mandarin, Cantonese, Hindi, Urdu, Spanish, Punjabi and English). Their mission is to bridge cultural and language barriers in order to ensure a smooth, seamless home-buying and selling experience for any client.

“We recognized a gap in the market where cultural differences often led to miscommunication, hesitation and lost opportunities,” says Team International's Danny Leung. “By combining our diverse expertise, linguistic skills, and deep cultural awareness, we’ve built a team that ensures every client receives personalized and culturally competent service.”

The team—which includes agents Danny Leung, Khalida "Kay" Bajwa, Pratibha Kalburgi, Kim McGee and Amy Chavez—sells more than 75 homes per year. They’ve been recognized as Washingtonian Top Agents for five consecutive years; and earned the Century 21 Centurion Award, which recognizes top producers, for the last two years.

To communicate in a client's preferred language ensures clarity at every step and brings an important degree of comfort to the process of buying or selling a home. Sharing in a personal understanding of cultural preferences—regarding home layouts, neighborhood choice, investment strategies, and even culturally relevant marketing materials—is an incredibly valuable offering for people navigating what can be an overwhelming transaction. Team International also partners with international agents and relocation specialists to assist clients in moving across borders.
