However, if you are con- sidering hiring a property management firm, don’t forget the old saying, “You get what you pay for.” All of us at WJD have worked for other property management firms in the past, and we have learned what to do and, more importantly, what not to do, from our expe- riences at these companies. We invite you to explore our Web site at www.wjdpm.com for more information, or call us at (703) 385-3600. WASHINGTON, D.C. or NFATC TOUR?
