TODAY! Anacostia River Realty to screen HGTV episode filmed in Historic Anacostia

Episode chronicles a first-time seller and his real estate agent on their journey to sell a house in Historic Anacostia

WASHINGTON, D.C. (February 18, 2011) --- Anacostia River Realty, the Ward 8 real estate firm featured in the D.C. episode of HGTV’s My First Sale, is pleased to host a public screening of the episode, Friday, February 25, 6pm - 9pm at Big Chair Coffee & Grill, located at 2122 MLK Jr. Ave, SE. The screening coincides with Anacostia River Realty’s Second Year Anniversary Celebration, with special guests, the stars of the award-winning soap opera Anacostia - The Series.

HGTV’s casting of Historic Anacostia is further confirmation of the neighborhood’s new status as the “next big thing” in community revitalization. Residents are filled with pride, new businesses are opening, and visitors are discovering the community’s rich history and potential.

Darrin Davis

For Darrin Davis, owner of Anacostia River Realty, this has been a labor of love. “Since I moved to Historic Anacostia and started selling exclusively in neighborhoods East of the River in 2002, it was always a dream to open up a real estate firm that specialized in this community. The way the community has embraced us has been amazing. One of my goals in starting Anacostia River Realty was to help change the perception of neighborhoods East of the River. Since the airing of the HGTV episode, we are getting calls not only from people from the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, but from potential residents, investors, and developers around the country who are interested in investing responsibly in our community. HGTV coming to Historic Anacostia was another validation that we're moving in the right direction. This viewing party is my way of saying ‘thanks’ to the community.”

To be added to the guest list contact: rsvp@anacostiariverrealty.com or (202) 678-7325 x 500.

Darrin Davis, "we are making positive inroads."

"As a real estate broker and someone who loves this area, I as well as my agents sometimes feel as though we're fighting an uphill battle when challenging negative stereotypes associated with neighborhoods east of the river. I can see, though, we are making positive inroads. I believe it will all be worth it in the long run when this community is seen as vibrant as any other area in the city."

Historic Anacostia To Be Featured In HGTV’s My First Sale Episode, Sunday, January 9 at 1pm.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – January 5, 2011 --- HGTV’s My First Sale will air Sunday, January 9, 2011 at 1pm and will focus on the Historic Anacostia neighborhood of Washington, DC. The My First Sale series follows a first-time home seller and their real estate agent as they navigate the ups and downs of the real estate market. Sunday’s episode will chronicle the journey of Anacostia homeowner and blogger David Garber as he attempts to sell a renovated single-family home on U Street SE with the assistance of his realtor, Darrin Davis of Anacostia River Realty.

Sunday’s episode features the Historic Anacostia neighborhood of Ward 8, a community on the tipping point of economic and residential revitalization. In recent years, Historic Anacostia has become the option for savvy homeowners looking for affordability without sacrificing Washington DC conveniences.

Says Darrin Davis, “As a Realtor, this coverage is absolutely great for the Anacostia community! We are introducing the world to this great community and hopefully dispelling some misperceptions. I am ecstatic that Anacostia River Realty was the company that brought HGTV here.”

Already HGTV’s coverage of Historic Anacostia is paying off.  Garber is in the process of purchasing two dilapidated homes in Historic Anacostia with hopes to have them on the market in late spring. Darrin Davis has been inundated with requests from potential homebuyers looking to experience what he calls “fine east of the Anacostia living.” In February, to coincide with their second year anniversary, Anacostia River Realty will be holding a special viewing party of the My First Sale episode.

The excitement surrounding Sunday’s episode is of particular interest to residents of Historic Anacostia. “The fact that HGTV is in our neighborhood shows proof that the best days are ahead for our community…Historic Anacostia residents will be glued to the TV on Sunday night! Two Thumbs Up for Anacostia!” says Charles Wilson, President of the Historic Anacostia Block Association.
