Arlington, VA Real Estate
Agent and Investor
I'm Bill Daus, a Realtor and real estate investor in Arlington, Virginia. Unlike traditional agents juggling dozens of clients with a full staff, I work with one client at a time completely 1 on 1.
Why One Client at a Time?
You probably found this page because you were referred by a friend, so you know that I am extremely passionate about homes, but I am also really into tech and have a day job. The real estate industry often prioritizes quantity over quality. Agents are incentivized to close as many deals as possible, which means divided attention and rushed decisions. Agents are meant to advocate you, and help you through a very big life moment, so I've chosen a different path.
Why you'll want to work with me?
- Undivided Attention - Your calls, texts, and questions are my priority, not one of many
- Data and Tech - My market analysis and project management skills are powered by a career in GovTech and Big Tech. Yes, I come with spreadsheets for timelines of repairs, renovations, and transactions.
- Investing Experience - I've flipped a few homes, own rentals, and know contractors for every job.
- Deep Market Knowledge - Arlington is my only focus. I've lived here for over 20 years and know the neighborhoods.
- Boutique branding - Green Dot Realty only has 1 agent (me), so the sign in your front lawn stands out and makes people curious.
Why you won't want to work with me?
- Weekday Showings - If you are shopping for a new home, and you want an agent who can tour homes on weekdays from 9-5.
- Big Brands - You really want a big name brand sign in your front lawn or one of the bigger agents pictures (you will probably only meet the agent 2-3 times).
- Lots of Staff - If you pick a big agent, you'll work with their transaction coordinators, schedulers, junior agents, and you'll meet a ton of new people for each part of the deal.
- Spam - Your email box isn't full enough so you want weekly newsletters, holiday reminders, and their full marketing campaign in your inbox.
Arlington, VA Market Expertise
Arlington offers a unique blend of urban convenience and suburban comfort. From the vibrant corridors of Clarendon and Ballston to the amazing parks of Madison Manor and Donaldson Run, I help clients navigate this market with confidence.
My personal niche is finding homes that require extensive repairs and come at a discounted price, and preparing your primary residence to become a rental as you move on to your next home.
Whether you're a first-time buyer, down-sizing, or a evaluating potential rental income, I bring both professional expertise and personal investment experience to guide you.
