Anacostia River Realty to screen HGTV episode filmed 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.
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.”
