  • "We bought and sold a Condo in Northern VA. Olisa Akpati was our agent for both transactions. He was very professional, yet friendly. He understood all our needs. We couldn’t have asked for a better agent. I would definitely work with Olisa again.  He was so communicative, helpful, patient, and totally generous with his time and energy.  He has our highest recommendation."

  • “I can’t thank Olisa Akpati enough for his understanding of the concept of functionality! We met several years ago when my husband and I purchased our first home. As our family grew so did our need for space. Olisa, a father himself, played a key role in helping us find a new home that offered the space we wanted and functionality we needed. His professional feedback was very helpful during home tours making it easier to create a pros and cons list for our family’s dynamic. We learned so much! With his trusted experience, we now have a home that caters to everyones needs. He was with us every step of the way and I can’t imagine the whole process having gone smoother.”

  • "Having gone through the real estate sale a few times, I can say without a doubt that the experience with Olisa is by far the most satisfying experience I have had to date.  With him, you had the feeling he is looking out for your best interest, he was very detailed in asking all the right questions to get a full understanding what we needed in the home and what are items we want in our new home. He was conscientious in searching for what we wanted and did he delivered!  I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell your home, because you are in hands.  Olisa, I know I had said it to you many times, but thanks again!"

Why Olisa?

Direct. Dedicated. Driven.
