About Us
Local Knowledge. Real Experience. A Shared Mission to Keep Homes Working for Their Owners.
I’m Mars Shabazz – your neighborhood real estate and hospitality professional, born and raised in Washington, DC. I started this business for a simple reason: too many native Washingtonians we know and care about were struggling to hold on to properties that should have been working for them, not against them.
