Smart Firm Delivers Customer-First Service, Efficiently
✉️ Want to forward this article? Click here.
According to the partners of the firm DC Living Real Estate, LLC, the physical office has become obsolete. To them, a traditional office isn’t flexible, adaptable, or, above all, convenient for working or living. They view the office as an increasingly archaic leftover of industrial society in today’s hyper-connected infinitely mobile world.
“We prefer the idea of ‘Smart Work,’” says Managing Partner/Principal Broker P. L. Skip Singleton, Jr., Esq. “In today’s networked age, we no longer need to travel to work; instead, work travels with us wherever we go. Our agents chose to work more efficiently from home, or anywhere else they would like, rather than wasting hours commuting and unproductive time in the office.”
“Our firm’s business model is designed for efficient service which allows us more time and energy to enjoy living in this wonderful metropolitan area while seamlessly delivering a higher level of customer-first service,” says Partner Jason Skipworth.
DC Living® has always been on the forefront of the use of technology. It was the first ‘smart’ DC Metro area real estate firm in which sales professionals work wherever they go without limitations of a singular office. It also was the first Green/paperless office using electronic signatures, cloud storage, and other cutting-edge technologies. Agents appreciate the work-life balance/flexibility of the firm, while clients appreciate the instant personal communications with their agent and the efficient ways to conduct transactions.
“We embrace being a successful independent firm for 17 years; and, despite the numerous attempts to acquire or merge with us, we couldn’t imagine changing our enjoyable and personal way of conducting real estate business,” says Managing Partner Debbie Singleton. Despite its boutique size, DC Living® Professionals have consistently been in the Top 1% of all Realtors for successful annual sales and annually ranked “Best” by Washingtonian magazine in the DC Metro area.
Partners of the firm include Skip Singleton, Debbie Singleton, and Jason Skipworth; Property Manager Ed Lichorat; while Ed Lichorat, Bill Reuther, and James Rosebush are Associates who bring years of expertise to round out the dynamic boutique firm.
