About Lee Anna Melton

Justin Tanner has been a gift to my family. He is professional, friendly, hardworking, and honest. He helped guide our family into two dream homes. It is a special thing when your realtor understands finances and dreams and makes them work together to get you into the home you’ve always wanted. We highly, highly recommend him to anyone looking to have an enjoyable home searching and buying experience.

We highly recommend Justin as a buyer’s agent, particularly if you’re looking for a home in the competitive Capitol Hill market. He never pressured us to offer more than we were comfortable offering. After being outbid on our first several offers, we came to appreciate Justin’s understanding of what it would take to win a sought-after home in the area. He encouraged us to see a home that fit our needs but was priced outside our comfort zone. It didn’t have the curb appeal of the other homes we tried to buy that escalated far above their list prices, and Justin helped us negotiate a purchase price significantly below the listing. As we began our many...

I worked with Justin Tanner to sell my home on Capitol Hill. Justin and his team exceeded all of my expectations for selling my home. Selling a unit in a historic co-op building could be a challenge, but Justin rose to the occasion. When an off-market contract fell through after all contingencies expired, he negotiated to get me all of the buyer’s earnest money deposit. From quickly coordinating contractors to get my home ready to list on the market after the initial contract fell through to communicating with a less-than-responsive co-op board, I knew I could trust Justin to handle all of it. He kept me informed every step of the way and I always f...

Justin and his team were amazing partners as we bought our first house. We can’t recommend them strongly enough. He almost made buying a house too easy. He even continues to help us even after we’ve moved in! We only looked at a few houses with Justin because we happened to find the one for us quickly. However, some of the houses he did show us were not on the market - he seems one step ahead of others and has a great pulse on the real estate market in Capitol Hill. Throughout the whole process of making an offer, inspecting the house, and closing, Justin was a tireless advocate for us and was a tremendous resource for all of our questions. I was ho...

We used Justin Tanner to buy our house on Capitol Hill in 2017 and sell it in 2022. We can't recommend Tanner Properties any more highly. Justin and Kendall took care of everything from prepping the home to selling, staging, pricing/negotiating, and all the closing details. Both the buying and selling were seamless and low-stress. The recommendations they made for small upgrades to the house allowed us to sell for significantly over ask! Justin is an expert on Washington DC and Capitol Hill. If you are buying or selling on Capitol Hill, you should leverage his expertise!

We were thrilled to work with Justin to sell our condo and subsequently purchase our new home. Justin is very knowledgeable about critically important factors around home selling and home buying in Washington DC, such as neighborhood trends, market behaviors, value-to-price considerations, and pricing/bidding strategies. We were eager home buyers in a tight inventory market, and Justin was able to tame our irrationality and impulsivity so that we got exactly the outcome we hoped for. We highly recommend Justin and his team for any home selling and/or buying you may be planning in the DC market.

We were extremely happy with Justin. His team was by far the most knowledgeable agents we have worked with they understand the area, the housing stock, and the market very well. Very responsive and helpful, and great negotiating. Would highly recommend it!

Since Justin lives in the Northeast area, his personal knowledge was great. We were able to talk about where we wanted to look, and he introduced us to a neighborhood we hadn't considered but which was perfect. He told us about the dancing club in River Terrace and had even been to a hand-dancing class. His ideals in homeownership are very different from ours, but he prioritized our needs and found us the perfect home. His energy was great, and he helped us through the process as first-time home buyers. When he came by to see our place after we moved in, he brought his daughter, which just goes to show that this is more than just a job for him, he i...

We worked with Justin over the winter to buy a rowhouse in the H Street corridor. He spent a lot of time getting to know our tastes and preferences and worked hard to make sure we got in to see the right listings. After a couple of months of looking at houses that fell short in one way or another, he found us a fixer-upper that ended up being a great deal. After negotiating a below-list offer, he introduced us to a contractor who worked out great. We now have the house we want, in the neighborhood we want, for a price much lower than we would've otherwise paid. We would highly recommend Justin as an agent who will work hard to find the hidden deals ...

I just sold a home with Justin on Capitol Hill - a home I bought with him ten years ago. Justin was a delight to work with in both of those transactions. His judgment in the selling process in particular turned out to be spot on, both in his recommendations of what improvements to make prior to putting the property on the market and his recommendations of how to manage the sales process. Not to mention that he managed all the necessary work on the house with almost no effort required by me whatsoever. I'd absolutely work with him again.
