Here’s what a client recently wrote: “As we concluded our Foggy Bottom tour & were ready to sell our home, there was no question that we were going to list with the same realtor who helped us buy the home, and at that time, seven time zones away. Samson Realtor Alan Davis, with 30+ years of FS experience and his deep understanding of the Northern VA market were invaluable as we sold our Alexandria home from our new post overseas.
