Anne Savage & Nathan Guggenheim

Nate and Anne are fantastic realtors.
I became their client after using another realtor for 6 months. During that time, my house sat on the market and NOTHING happened. No nibbles, no offers, not many showings, nothing.
Then I switched to Nate and Anne because they were recommended by a close friend. Nate said that if I followed his advice exactly, he could get me a certain (good) price for my house and get it sold in less than 8 weeks. Well, I followed his instructions and the house sold for the EXACT price he predicted (seriously, down to the penny) in less than 8 weeks!
He knows the market well, and every recommendation he made, from painting to staging to pricing strategy was 100% correct. He was honest and direct with me about every tradeoff and decision, and that is exactly what you want in a realtor. He was always responsive to email and calls even late at night and early in the AM. But most importantly — he sold my house quickly for a good price.
Thanks Nate and Anne!

I’m editing this because in retrospect, my language seems harsh, though my feelings remain the same. (Originally I left one star.)
When I signed up, Mr. Guggenheim insisted that a real estate agent is important once the property goes to closing. When my apartment went to closing, I heard nothing from him or his partner. Not a single word. I was left to fend for myself while the title company made multiple mistakes, including getting the transaction sum wrong (about $ 30,000 in my favor – I should have just let it slip).
You’ll see other glowing reviews about them on this site, so make your informed choice. Personally, if I could do it all over again, I’d go with a different agent.

I advertised my condo on Craigslist, which Nate’s client found on his own. That is, the client found it and not Nate the Realtor. Nate contacts me and asks if I’m cooperating with brokers, and I tell him I’m offering 1% finders fee for realtors. Of course, Nate has done nothing at this point regarding this transaction other than ask for money, so I’m being generous. Then, Nate has the nerve to say I am committing «highway robbery» by not paying him 3%, what would be $ 12,000 in commissions, for doing, really NOTHING. I then say that that attitude then gets 0% commission. Then, Anne contacts me and insults my intelligence about the Realtor business. They really made me feel that Realtors, and particularly themselves, are spoiled louts that do nothing and get enormous commissions. Anne and Nate are condescending, rude, and want a free hand out for doing absolutely nothing but leach off of other people’s transactions.

We can’t say enough positive things about Anne and Nate. My husband and I were first time home-​buyers and didn’t really know where to start. Anne and Nate took us through the entire process with ease!
Anne and Nate are not only knowledgeable, patient, professional, helpful, and honest, but they are also really fun! They made the home buying process an exciting and positive one!
Throughout the experience Anne and Nate were ALWAYS accessible and kept us informed every step of the way. We always felt confident that Anne and Nate were looking out for our best interest. Anne and Nate answered all of our questions (no matter how silly the seemed) and took us to every property until we we found our perfect place!
Whenever I meet anyone looking to buy or sell their place, I always highly recommend this dynamic pair. They truly go above and beyond the call of duty!
We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Anne and Nate!!!

My wife and I launched a careful search for the right real estate agent when we decided we wanted to buy in the District. After meaningful discussion we decided on Anne and Nate. We couldn’t be happier. Not only did we later find that respected friends had made the same choice, but we found Anne and Nate to be even more extraordinary than we could have imagined.
First, you are getting two of the most linked-​in and high-​volume agents in the business. But Anne and Nate generate business in the most counter-​intuitive ways: they are not high-​pressure or overcompensating. They are secure in the most reassuring ways. They eschew many conventional realtor tactics because their clients love them and they have no need to euphemize or embellish. They relish a good fit with their clients, whether helping to sell or buy.
Second, while Anne or Nate, alone, would be two of the best agents a client could ever want; together they’re beyond expectation. Cerebral, meticulous, funny, efficient, organized and multi-​tasking, together they tap a vast knowledge of District real estate minutiae that they utilize to cut to the chase and hone in on a client’s needs.
Thanks to Anne and Nate, the potentially anxious and arduous process of finding a home became a fun and serendipitous journey that valued our unique concerns and allowed us the best possible home at the best possible price.
