COMPASS:A NEW DIRECTION

IN DC REAL ESTATE

District Home Magazine chatted with Robert Reffkin, founder and CEO of Compass, and Lindsay Reishman, president of Compass Washington, DC, to learn about the tech-focused brokerage, which recently expanded to the DC market. The brokerage has plans to expand nationally to 10 cities in the next two years with Miami as the next market.

Compass entered the DC market in 2014 through the acquisition of Lindsay Reishman Real Estate (LRRE). LRRE was an ideal partner for Compass because of the type of market found here in DC, the volume of the firm’s transactions, and the leadership provided by Lindsay Reishman.

Robert Reffkin explained, “Compass can only expand with great leaders, and when I asked agents in the DC area who they respected most, the response was Lindsay.”

The acquisition has been rewarding for all involved. Compass, recently valued at $360 million, has already benefited by having

knowledgeable agents in place to attract others with similar values. As a result, the DC team has nearly tripled since the acquisition.

Since its inception, Compass has raised more than $70M from investors including Founders Fund, Goldman Sachs, and Kenneth Chenault, Chairman and CEO of American Express. Compass offers a broad range of services to agents, priding itself on its data-driven valuation and pricing tools. Compass employs 21 engineers, recruited from companies including Google, Twitter, and Facebook, and the firm builds and manages technology in-house. The brokerage wants to provide agents with a tremendous experience and the support they need to grow their businesses.

And, although Compass is known for its advanced technology, the culture of the brokerage is what really sets it apart. As Robert Reffkin told DHM, “Compass doesn’t hire with a mind on revenue but more on

culture. We want the best company five years from now, not one month from now.”

Robert elaborated, “Technology is something agents see value in, but vision, people, and leadership is what attracts people.”

Both Robert and Lindsay expressed that the team aspect is key for Compass and is what makes Compass different from other agencies. In support of its agents, the management is creating a collaborative environment in which a creative studio crafts targeted marketing solutions and a dedicated development team builds intuitive digital products for clients and agents. But, of course, the ultimate goal is to provide the best client experience possible.

Compass will open a second office in DC in March, located in Capitol Hill, and is looking for additional opportunities.

Located in the Northwest quadrant of the District,

Columbia Heights is considered one of its dynamic and

diverse neighborhoods. A true precedent to the power

of change, Columbia Heights has transformed itself from

a cluster of abandoned homes and stores to high rise

condos and notable restaurants in the past decade. Since

its recent renovation, the Tivoli Theater, a former movie

theater and historic DC landmark on 14th street, marks

the beginning of the Columbia Heights commercial district.

In the mood for an incredible sit down meal? Red

Rocks DC on Park Road specializes in delicious

Neapolitan-style firebrick pizza. Complete with an

outdoor seating option, extensive drink menu and

vegan options, Red Rocks hosts one of the best

brunches in DC and offers its customers a unique dining experience.

Home to the largest cascading fountain in North America, Meridian

Hill Park is a Columbia Heights treasure. Located on the intersection

of 16th street & Euclid, this unique urban park was designed in the

early 1900’s after Italian Aristocrat, King Victor Emmanuel III’s private

residence. Home to a number of presidential statutes, Meridian

Hill Park also features a statue of Joan of Arc, the only statue of a

woman on horseback in Washington DC. The park offers a number

of guided tours and exhibits throughout the year and offers visitors a

number of seating areas and walking paths.

Columbia Heights is one of the many epicenters of Washington

DC’s history, but the Lionshead Condominium is paving the

way for the future. The building features nine luxury condominiums

fully equipped with three bedrooms, two baths and terrace. Less

than a five block walk from the Georgia Avenue Petworth Metro

Station and only a few blocks from acclaimed American-Italian

fusion restaurant, Maple, Lionshead is in the perfect location. S2

Development has done a beautiful job creating such an innovative

and timeless set of condominiums. The Lionshead Condominium is

just one of the many boutique condos available in Columbia Heights.

Although Columbia Heights is still in the midst of its continued

transformation, it has evolved so beautifully over the years and

continues to offer residents and visitors a safe and dynamic

environment.

SMART DESIGN SOLUTIONS

When a California couple relocating to the nation’s capital set out to find a residence in Northwest, Washington, DC, they stumbled upon an outdated home in their dream neighborhood of Kalorama. Built in 1986, the large, dark and gloomy house was in need of a makeover so they enlisted Wentworth, Inc.’s architect-led, design-build team to bring their new home to life.

The new homeowners desired a more livable, modern layout so the Wentworth design team tackled the dysfunctional kitchen first, suggesting an open, seamless plan for the kitchen and adjacent formal dining room. The dining room was repurposed as an informal family/breakfast room, with the formal dining area moved to one end of the living room overlooking the pool. By opening the wall that once divided the two spaces, the kitchen now flows into this airy, yet cozy family/breakfast room with a glass transom giving each space visual definition.

By rethinking the kitchen’s long, linear space, the Wentworth team developed a design scheme with five bays, each defined by a coffered beam ceiling. The bays are multifunctional, delineating workspaces and create a more inviting kitchen. By incorporating modern necessities such as a 36-inch-wide cooktop, a 36-inch-wide, counter-depth refrigerator, a freestanding 8-foot island with bar sink, and a dry bar complete with liquor storage, the new kitchen, which also includes custom appliance storage and built-in lighting, is both user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing. The design team also incorporated bar stool seating in the kitchen island, which features a stained-wood furniture grade finish and doubles as a wet bar/buffet for entertaining.

By salvaging the home’s original double-acting door with tufted, soundproofing upholstery, an unobtrusive entry was also created from the stair hall to the new

kitchen. In addition, the dining room’s silver closet was transformed into a discrete powder room with custom walnut vanity and stone counter.

When it came to this Kalorama diamond in the rough, the clients saw the possibilities and embraced Wentworth’s thoughtful design choices, transforming the home from so-so to perfect. For more information about home renovations, contact architect-led, design-bui ld f irm Wentworth, Inc. at 240.395.0705, x100, email Bruce Wentworth, AIA, at bwentworth@wentworths tud io . com, or go to www.wentworthstudio.com.

It’s More Than Just a State CapitalLess than a two hour drive from DC, Richmond, VA is known for its historical significance and beautiful suburban landscape. Home to a number of battlefields and museums from the American Civil War, Richmond has main-tained a number of pre-reconstruction buildings that emphasize the neo-classical architecture of the 1700s. With the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, the Edgar Allen Poe Museum, and the Virginia Center of Architecture within a few miles of each other, Richmond is a great destination for a weekend spring getaway.
