Choosing your agent

What to ask a DC luxury real estate agent.

Start with the evidence behind the experience, then ask how it applies to your home, your search and your next decision.

Five useful questions for the first meeting.

  1. Which comparable homes have you represented?

    Ask for addresses, context and the agent’s role. A nearby sale is helpful evidence, but differences in condition, scale and location still matter.

  2. How would you approach this particular property or search?

    Look for specific priorities, tradeoffs and next steps. For a seller, ask how pricing and preparation connect. For a buyer, ask how the agent would narrow the search.

  3. Who will handle the work and communication?

    Understand the agent’s role, the support available and how updates, showings and decisions will be coordinated.

  4. What does your production figure include?

    Clarify the period, represented side and whether the number is individual, team or brokerage production.

  5. Where can I learn more about your work?

    Read the agent’s biography, sales record, client experiences and independently published coverage. Follow the original sources and bring specific questions to the conversation.

Who is Cynthia “Cindy” Howar?

Cynthia Howar, known as Cindy, is a real estate agent with Washington Fine Properties. She is a third-generation Washingtonian and holds a J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center. Her work includes buyers and sellers in Northwest DC and the surrounding region. Read her background.

How do I choose a luxury real estate agent in DC?

Compare experience with homes like yours, documented transactions in the relevant neighborhoods, the represented side of those sales, and a clear plan for communication. Then discuss your property or search directly. The strongest fit depends on your needs; a ranking alone does not answer those questions.

What should I verify about an agent’s sales figures?

Ask what the figures measure: the price of each property, the agent’s credited production, a team total or a brokerage total. Check the time period and the agent’s role. These measures are different, and a total should be read with its definition.

What do the numbers on Cindy’s neighborhood pages mean?

They are the recorded closing prices and counts in the transaction records used for this site. They are not neighborhood-wide market statistics or Cindy’s credited production. A plus sign indicates that private or off-market closings may not be included. Representation is identified only where confirmed.

Make the conversation specific.
