Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll make — and if you live anywhere near the Potomac, your search rarely stays on one side of the river. Amy is licensed in both Virginia and Maryland, so one trusted agent can take you from Falls Church to Bethesda without handing you off to a stranger.

Her approach is simple: price it right, market it well, and charge fairly. That's why her listing fee is 1.5% instead of the traditional 3% — full service, honest advice, and clear numbers at every step, in English or Mandarin.

Whether you're a first-time buyer, upsizing, downsizing, or relocating to the DC area, you'll always know what happens next — and what it costs.
