A Little About My Background

I am a native Washingtonian and life-long resident in the area - Georgetown, Spring Valley, Wesley Heights, American University Park, Glover Park, Alexandria, Arlington, McLean, Falls Church, Bethesda, Potomac and Southern Maryland (Charles County).  My mother's family settled Maryland and Virginia in the 1600s, and much of my extended family is still in the Greater Washington Metropolitan Area. 

I bring over 30 years of executive, legal, business, marketing and publishing experience and resources to give you a unique advantage.  I have facilitated many commercial and private real estate transactions in DC, Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Washington state and internationally.  With my support staff at W.C. & A.N. Miller Realtors®, Long & Foster's Bethesda 'All Points' Miller Sales office (regularly among the Top 10 of all Long & Foster offices), I have helped many clients complete successful and timely transactions.

Whether it involves a residence in town, country home, farm, commercial property or resort, buying or selling a property can be difficult and stressful.  It is a complex contractual, marketing, legal, and financial process.  I advise clients throughout the process because they rely on me to get it right for them and make it right for all parties to the transaction.  I work very closely on each stage with my clients.  I combine my training in law and negotiations with an in-depth knowledge of buyer and seller expectations, current transaction requirements of each jurisdiction, and the trends of today's market.  My goal is to fully represent their interests and to serve THEM.


How I Work for My Clients

As a real estate consultant and Realtor®, I apply the power of our exclusive affiliation with Christies Great Estates, our W.C. & A.N. Miller local roots and unparalleled agent network, Long & Foster's Extraordinary Properties, Sloans & Kenyon appraisers, our organizational programs and expertise, and our relationships to market clients' properties.  I have been recognized for delivering unsurpassed professional solutions, service, and options to clients seeking the best in residential real estate sales, purchases, and leasing.

My clients are satisfied customers who come to me for the advice, guidance, and support I offer through my companies' services.  I understand my clients' real estate needs, keep in touch after delivery of services, and excel in my role as case manager, problem solver, consultant, skilled negotiator, market expert, and resource for information. The ongoing and increasing success of my realtor team is directly related to our referral-based business established over many years by our uncommonly high level of customer satisfaction.

CLIENTS' TESTIMONIALS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES ...

Dear Hill, 

I am deeply grateful for your professional service and careful attention to detail.  It was a fine experience to deal with someone who shared my desire for an exceptional tenant. You and your distinguished company played a crucial role in the transaction, and I am very pleased.  It would be a privilege to refer anyone I know to you.  I look forward to continued association as business may require.  Thank you. 

                 George B. Lane, Jr., Ph.D., Bethesda and Gaithersburg, MD 


Dear Hill,

I would like to thank you for the outstanding service.   You really made the process of buying our riverfront vacation property as easy as it possibly could have been.  I have never had  real estate agent take care of so many details for me before.  Buying a property and performing a feasibility study from four-hours drive away could have been a tedious task.   Thanks for doing all the hard work.  I would not dream of using another agent. Merry Christmas!

 

 Peter & Susie Fougerousse, Cary, NC and Charles County, MD


Dear Hill!  

Let me take this opportunity to thank you and your colleague for a fantastic job on this deal. I really liked the competent, thoughtful, sometimes passionate, always sincere handling of the search phase as well as the good care you took of us in every sense!  In the offer and negotiations phase I really appreciated your strong advice which ultimately made this a strong and decisive offer! Finally, I really liked the good teamwork you displayed in the final phase. Hill, you really added value in addition to standing in for your colleague!  I liked how confidently your colleague handed the contract over in the final phase and fully empowered you to take over!  

Cheers, Ulrich Hess, Washington, DC 


        I work in a high-pressure corporate environment on transportation megaprojects.  I had to move to Washington quickly, but I didn't have much time to search for housing.  Hill came through and was able to find a premium in-town condominium with the best views of Washington and its landmarks.  Plus I had fun working with him!

Antonio DiStefano, Washington, DC


         We had a family move to make from New York to Bethesda and we couldn't have been luckier to have had the assistance of Hill Slowinski.  He knew every inch of the neighborhoods we were interested in.  He had grown up and raised his family in the area so his knowledge of the details of neighborhoods and life was extraordinary. We truly felt that Hill gave us first class service-incredibly timely, rapid responses, and once we settled on a home he kept all aspects moving for us when both we and the owners were out of town.  He never lost a detail and was there to meet us with keys the morning of our "move in" day.  Hill was the glue that held our move together in the most professional and courteous manner.  Absolutely the right choice!

Hill,

         You did an excellent job for me and my father in negotiating the terms of his co-op purchase and advising us on each facet through settlement.  We look forward to having you represent us in the near future when we put his house on the market.

Willem Polak, Alexandria, VA


       We have bought and sold half a dozen houses in our lives.  Hill Slowinski was at the top of the list of those representing us over the years.  Hill is super-competent, thorough, and on top of his game.  He knew the answers to any questions we had and represented us the way a careful lawyer should.  Not only that, he was a pleasure to work with: courteous, kind and thoughtful.

Michael D. Langan, Joanne E. Langan, Naples, FL


          In our move from Manhattan to the Bethesda area, we worked with Hill for over fifteen months looking for a condo that could fulfill our relatively stringent requirements. Hill's enduring patience and reliability during an often frustrating search were major factors enabling us to finally find a new home that fully met expectations. In addition, Hill's knowledge of local market conditions proved of great value in facilitating a speedy, fair and successful negotiation.

M. C. Lang & Gene Burkett 


         Hill wasn't even our agent when we were treated to his premier services. We were overseas when Hill's clients, our new tenants, moved in earlier this year, so we asked if he could take care of the handover after our own agent declined. No hesitation, no charge for what has been one of the best service experiences I have encountered. While we weren't his clients it certainly felt like we were his top priority. Hill's dedication and people-first approach has won some new clients.

Chris Dermody, Bethesda, MD


           In 2006, 2007, and again in 2009, Hill Slowinski acted as our real estate agent to identify and sign up tenants for short term rentals while we were out of town.  Our house was fully furnished and we naturally wanted tenants who would take care of the premises and cause us no problems.  On both counts we couldn't have been more pleased.  On the first occasion, I was out of town when the tenant was signed up.  Hill went carefully over the house and purchased items (e.g., smoke alarm, a/c filters) that we had neglected.  He speedily drew up contracts that met our needs and those of the tenants.  Once or twice when we got into a technical mess with the county over some obscure regulatory requirements, Hill found ways to resolve the problems to the satisfaction of all.  Even after his job of arranging the rental was finished, Hill was always and quickly available for consultation and advice whenever a problem arose.  I could always trust his technical knowledge and judgment.   My wife and I would heartily recommend Hill to anyone seeking an agent to handle a rental or sale.

Henry Precht,  Bethesda, MD


Dear Hill,

We could not be happier that you found and we now enjoy a gem of a penthouse condo - and our first choice from the many we saw! And given that we needed to find something and settle in quickly, it all happened in only 6 six weeks - 3 weeks from search to contract, and 3 weeks from contract to settlement - an impressive timeframe considering it was a separation of 2 units involving permitting, construction,  inspections, and a negotiation with D.C.'s Tax Office!  Your oversight and management of the complex processes and legal documentation was excellent.  We will enthusiastically recommend you to all!

 Rusty, Jennifer, and Kit Johnson, Sykesville, MD


Dear Hill,       

  I do appreciate the attention you gave to [selling our home] ... I have been impressed (as I knew I would be) with your enthusiasm and professionalism in dealing with this listing.. [you] have been fabulous and we hope that Miller recognizes your tremendous asset to the company!  It was only because of you that we went with Miller. ... I will, OF COURSE, sing your praises to anyone I know interested in real estate! ... [Y]ou are a tremendous agent - I truly feel that you have been doing a fabulous job on advising me and getting the word out on my house, even within this ridiculous environment.

Lynn Rogerson, Alexandria, VA 


To Whom It May Concern:

         Hill Slowinski arranged what we thought was impossible.  Our family of four needed a temporary home while our own house was undergoing renovation and expansion.  Hill located a private home just two blocks away from ours in our own neighborhood, negotiated a lease with very careful owners, and coordinated the terms to meet ours and the owners' needs.  With Hill's involvement, the process was flawless and extremely well organized.  All we had to do was write a few checks!  Hill far exceeded our expectations and made the transaction seem effortless.


Stephanie and Randy Beehler, Bethesda, MD


Dear Hill:

          We were delighted to read ... about the excellent job you did with the Inauguration event for Leasing Services.  This is certainly deserving of a special Long & Foster Service Award.   It is people like you that help make Long & Foster as successful as it has been over these last 41 years.  We appreciate it and thank you.

           We all want to thank you....  Your input was extremely valuable and your dedication and focus on this project was beyond any agent team member I have had the pleasure to work with.  You are one fantastic agent and it has really shown in the help you gave to us and the service you provided to your clients....  I look forward to our working together in the future.
