Jason Trotman

I’ve known Jason for three years prior to using his service to buy my condo. I’ve personally seen the long hours he works to meet his clients’ satisfaction. It was a no brainer to ask Jason to help me search for my prospect D.C. condo and in less than a day he produced a list of viable options. Jason is very knowledgeable with the VA Loan process, a rarity these days, and provided me with unfiltered advice as we toured three condos. I was ready to pull the trigger on the first place, but he urged me to consider viewing the two other cheaper options. You heard me right, the cheaper options — meaning he would receive a smaller commission. Jason’s unwavering commitment to meet his clients’ priorities makes him a rare breed in a market full of non-​empathetic agents looking to maximize profit margins. I decided to go with the expensive option because Jason and his candor deserve it. I’m proud to enjoy a business/​friendship relationship with Jason and I will always advocate him and his first-​class services.

When I was transferred to the DC area, I had to orchestrate a quick move for my family. After searching for rental housing on craigslist for about a week, I got frustrated and decided to give a realtor a shot. I found some of Jason’s sparkling reviews online and gave him a call. It turned out that I had stumbled upon a fantastic resource who was truly willing to go above and beyond what was expected.
Jason worked with my wife and I to understand our criteria, figure out what was reasonable within our budget, and develop a list of apartments and single-​family homes to visit. We only had two days for a househunting trip, and Jason structured the time in such a way that we could see as many places as possible. While on site, he asked some great questions on our behalf and gave us his honest input. We eventually settled on an excellent apartment within budget and can’t wait to move down to the DC area. Thanks for the help, Jason!

As first time home buyers, my husband and I didn’t really know where to start. Jason provided us with so much information and answered any and all questions we had. He was available whenever we needed him and made the entire process so extremely easy. Jason is very knowledgeable and was always willing to do whatever it took to make us feel comfortable about the process. I would recommend him time and time again. Wonderful agent!

Jason is very competent, easy to work with, professional and goes above and beyond to make sure you know what you’re getting into when buying a home while making it a pleasant experience. Jason and Andre were able to find a home that was within my price range while in perfect location to my job and nightlife. I was able to get a good deal on my home and enjoy living close to everything in the city. Jason is highly recommended to my friends and he is responsive and reliable when you have questions and/​or advice. I’m grateful for running into Jason and I’ll always keep in mind when selling or buying another home in the future.

My wife and I came to know Jason after working with a different agent who didn’t understand our needs as first time home buyers. Jason answered our silliest questions and he didn’t put ANY pressure on us throughout the process. He was responsive to our emails and phone calls. He is technologically savvy. He worked hard for us and his enthusiasm was contagious. Simply put Jason is a knowledgeable genuine individual who will go to bat for you. At the end of the process I came to consider him a friend. I highly recommend using his services and will recommend him to all of my other friends.

Jason is a STAR! My friend referred him last year when I was ready to purchase a property last year. He was super helpful. I found my gorgeous place immediately and am really happy here. Most recently I wanted to rent out my place and Jason was super sweet about advising me on what to do. He also drew up the lease for free :)
I would use Jason again in a heartbeat and would highly recommend him.

Once again, Jason came through for us! As a serious Unilocaler, I cannot say enough about Jason’s work ethic.
He was with us every step of the way. From making sure the apartment was good to move in, to brokering the actual deal for the lease, all the way from start to finish he was there for us.
I would not recommend any other person in the country to work with in regards to leasing or buying a place.
Here are some highlights:
1. He saved us money
2. He helped us with even the most minor of issues
3. He drafted and brokered the deal between us and the tenant
4. He helped us with the rates
5. He has looked at over 10 places with us just in the last few months
6. Then he saved us even MORE MONEY after the lease was signed
This is beyond devotion to a job. This is about a man that knows how important it is to keep your family warm, safe, and make life easier during a move. If you want someone who has the business prowess, and also the heart to get you where you need to be, Jason is your man.

Having just had a baby, my wife and I had a short timeframe to sell our townhouse and find and buy a new home in the right NOVA school district before work started to pick up. We consider ourselves very lucky to have been able to work with Jason. Not only were we able to find the right home and get our house on and off the market quickly, but Jason had the right connections for financing and home repairs and inspections.
We bought and sold in a span of thirty days. It was one of the smoothest transitions we’ve ever had. The kicker? He is great with kids. Thanks, Jason!

I have known Jason Trotman for several years, and can attest that he is a reliable friend and all around fantastic person. Before contacting Jason, a couple years ago I was home shopping with a different realtor and it wasn’t a good fit. The entire process left a bad taste in my mouth. So I decided to wait. I am very glad that I did. This time around, I had the pleasure of having Jason as my realtor and can now add, that he is hands down the hardest working realtor I have ever met!
As a first time home buyer, the process is stressful, however, I can tell you that my process went so smoothly I almost had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. Jason was super professional and totally transparent during the entire process. I work internationally a lot and had a tight two month window of when I needed things done before I started traveling again. Not only did Jason listen to exactly what I wanted, he delivered a property that exceeded my expectations, within my desired price range and area I wanted to live. Jason also has the patience of a saint, I had many questions and he answered them all. No matter what time I sent an email, or called him, he always responded. I know that I was not his only client during this time, but he made me feel that way, he gave exceptional personalized service. When it was time to put in an offer, he walked me through each document and explained them all. From the time I contacted him about looking for a place to the time we found what I wanted and actually closed on it was about 30days (which was still one month before the deadline that I had given him).
Jason constantly goes above and beyond for his clients and truly means it when he says, don’t hesitate to contact me if you need anything. I needed help and he referred me to a contractor, and was able to suggest a furniture moving company. I was SO pleased with his service that I recommended a family friend to him, and Jason has already found a home for them. If you are a serious home buyer and want the best personalized service, then Jason Trotman is the realtor for you!

By far the best, most knowledge, friendly, approachable and helpful Realtor in the area! As a first time home buyer, I was nervous about the whole process of purchasing a home. Jason was simply amazing at walking me through it: explained how everything worked, set and followed through on all of our appointments, gave valid and helpful advice about the various areas and how they would (or would not) suit my needs, shed light on present and future area developments (
of new homes, stores, roads, etc), as well offered his objective opinion, when asked. Jason is not one of those pushy realtors: his very calm and friendly approach is all about «what’s right for you». He always said that «we will keep on looking until you find The One: the right condo that’s perfect for you». Jason works hard to make sure he delivers — and delivers, he does. Jason is very realistic about how long things will take and he is very quick at doing his part to make sure that you get your house as soon as possible, without any mishaps. He is very good at following up with all the parties involved to ensure that the whole process goes smoothly. Jason is also very communicative and responsive — whenever I had a question, I did not hesitate to call him and he always got back to me as soon as he could, which I greatly appreciated. After I bought the condo, Jason made sure that he followed up with me to ensure that everything is going well and that I am happy with the new purchase. All, in all, I would recommend Jason Trotman to anyone who is looking to buy a new condo, a house, or rent a place. Not only will you find that he is a great realtor, but that he also becomes a good friend who you can always rely and count on.

I 100% agree with the other posts below.
Earlier this summer (June 2010) I moved into the area in anticipation of purchasing a new home in the city. I was renting a unit in Arlington on a month to month basis and went to the closest Real Estate office to where I lived — needless to say, the experience with my first Realtor was terrible. He was very unhelpful and often tried to pressure me into buying properties that were not right for me. I felt as if he was my Realtor just to make a quick sale.
Very discouraged, I was about to give up the idea of purchasing a home for a while and continue to rent… until I met Jason. Being a first-​time home buyer, it was nice to have Jason guide me through the entire process.
Jason is extremely kind, knowledgeable, and best of all, exceedingly flexible with his working schedule. I felt as if initially Jason took me on a tour of every unit in the city (as I had no idea where I wanted to live). However, as time passed, Jason was able to help me narrow my search down into a very specific area, which made searching for the perfect home much less complicated.
After months of searching and waiting for units to come on the market, I finally closed on the perfect unit for me. Never once did I feel pressured by Jason to buy, which was extremely important to me.
Lastly, Jason’s professionalism was extraordinary. I am some-​what of a worry wart and asked him a TON of questions. Jason responded instantaneously to all of my questions. If he had to follow-​up with a third party on a question, I would receive the answer back from him within a few hours — even after the sale!
I would recommend working with Jason to anyone and everyone I know. I plan on using his services for all of my future home purchases. I would not even think twice about using someone else. Thanks Jason!

Jason Trotman is the best realtor we’ve ever worked with. Jason’s dedication to his clients is unmatched in the industry. Jason is responsive, strategic (a master of negotiation), and ethical. His effectiveness in contract negotiations is fostered by his extensive real estate experience in the MD/​VA/​DC area, and further strengthened by his strong academic background. Jason holds an MBA, and his training is reflected in the results that he has been able to deliver to his clients.
Our transaction was a complicated foreclosure, and we were the buyers. The corporate seller we dealt with had internal communication issues, and the transaction was thus delayed. Jason worked closely with the corporate seller, Settlement Company, our loan officer, and the corporate seller’s various layers of representatives to negotiate a final agreement that was both fair and advantageous to his clients. Without Jason, our transaction would have surely fallen out of escrow.
Jason is not only a strategic thinker who can influence key stakeholders in complicated negotiations, but also a customer-​service focused business professional who keeps his clients’ interests as his highest priority. He has a thorough understanding of all aspects of a real estate transaction, and is able to keep a firm grip on all the moving parts. We highly recommend Jason Trotman for your purchase/​sale transaction. If you need additional comments/​details/​references, my husband and I will be happy to answer any/​all questions about our experiences as Jason’s clients.
