Two thumbs up for Anacostia!

U Street renovation

This Sunday, January 9, 2011 at 1pm HGTV will debut their My First Sale episode featuring a beautifully renovated home in Historic Anacostia. 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 an Anacostia homeowner as he attempts to sell a renovated single-family home 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. 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.

Two Thumbs Up for Anacostia!” says Charles Wilson, President of the Historic Anacostia Block Association.
