We think outside the box and hustle to get there before anyone else. No matter who you work with at The Goodhart Group, every agent has deep market knowledge spanning all markets in VA, DC, and MD, and we’re licensed in all three jurisdictions.

We believe in working together; not just within our own team, but also with the community and other agents.

Off-Market Homes & Compass Private Exclusives

We have multiple sources for finding homes that meet and exceed buyer expectations for a new home. Thanks to our network of top agents that we’ve built over the decades, we know about unique real estate opportunities before they hit the MLS—which means you do, too.

We also access our pool of Compass Private Exclusives. This is a collection of homes not sold on the open market. Which means our buyers have an advantage in finding the perfect property match sooner, and with less competition. This is one of the reasons our clients turn into repeat and referral business—because our buyers know we have access to real estate that other teams simply don’t.

01

Prepare To Purchase

Find a loan that fits your needs and get pre-approved for a mortgage. We can help you put together your finances, but this is truly where it all begins if you want to purchase with confidence.

02

Searching & Negotiating

We’ll help search for a property you’ll love in a community that reflects your lifestyle. Then, we’ll advocate on your behalf and negotiate the contract to get you the best terms and price at the right time.

03

Closing Guidance

From there, we will work to complete the home inspection and negotiate the inspection items. During the loan and appraisal process, we’ll guide you through any concerns and questions that you have.

Relocating

Buying a house in a new area can be scary; it’s hard to know what community and real estate team to choose.

Moving to a bigger house? Exciting things are happening! We’ll walk you through the process of purchasing a new, larger home while also selling your current home. It’s a tricky process, but we can always help.
