Harrison Beacher Realtor

A five-​star rating is exactly what Harrison deserves. As first time home buyers we were wary of the process due to horror stories. With Harrison, not a single worry came to fruition. When it came time to act fast on the house of our dreams, he knew exactly what steps we should take to create and submit the best possible offer. His quick action, knowledge, and great list of assisting vendors made the difference in securing our perfect home. Harrison is incredibly thoughtful, caring, and made us feel at ease throughout the entirety of the process. All of the hundreds of questions we had were answered quickly and with an assurance that we fully understood his answers. All in all, if you’re seeking a realtor that you can trust, depend on, and fully enjoy working with through your home-​buying process, Harrison is your man.

Highly, highly recommend Harrison! He navigated us through the daunting DC real estate market and had us closing on the perfect house less than two months after we first started looking. You can’t do better in terms of knowledge of the DC real estate market, the first-​time home buying process, ²⁴⁄₇ responsiveness, and overall personal skills. Not to mention that he’s a whiz at home improvements and has tons of contacts for handymen, plumbers, etc. He’s an all-​in-​one realtor and we would go with him again in a heartbeat!

Harrison is the best! He was our Realtor when we purchased our home in North Michigan Park, and we would highly recommend him. My wife and I were first time homebuyers, and he got us through the process on time (our lease was ending) and on budget. Harrison knew the market in our area well, and was extremely responsive even on evenings and weekends. He was also very patient in educating us on the home buying process.

From day one, Harrison was attentive to all of our needs. His responsiveness continued throughout our home buying process. His input was timely and very helpful; he seemed to know exactly what we were looking for. In fact, the home we ended up purchasing was completely off of our radar until Harrison isisted that we give it a look.
I strongly reccomend his services to anyone looking for a home!

Harrison was our agent for the recent purchase of our home in Washington DC. Harrison is a consummate professional. We were unsure of exactly where we wanted to buy a home, but had very specific criteria that our new home would have to meet. Harrison was able to hit every item on our list without even blinking and needless to say we love our new home. We’ve moved over 10 time in the last 16 years and working with Harrison was the best. He is easily among the top three agents that I have worked with and very easily the nicest. He managed to get us pre-​closing access to our new home in order to minimize the moving time and disruption to a major family event. I recommend him without reservation.

Harrison was a great realtor and advocate for me in my house purchasing quest. Harrison showed me several houses in my desired location & crafted a winning offer. The seller’s agent was a bit difficult but Harrison was a professional, shielding me from her drama. I would use Harrison again!

What an amazing experience with a realtor! My wife and I worked with Harrison for 6 months while we tried to find the perfect house in the DC area (not an easy task!). Harrison was everything you want from a real estate agent. He was patient, always seemed to be available no matter how many other clients he had, and was responsive every time we reached out to him with the millions and millions of questions we had. Harrison was also very knowledgeable; not just about neighborhoods, but also about the condition of houses, themselves. Touring a house with Harrison was like have a home inspector right there with you. Harrison could point out concerns that you would have to address within x amount of years, and he could also point out useful characteristics & amenities that would save us money or bring value to the home in the future. The best part, though, was that throughout the whole process, Harrison cared more about what was best for us than what was best for his own pockets. That integrity is what makes Harrison extra-​special. As a first-​time home-​buyer, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Harrison Beacher in purchasing our first home this summer and are thrilled to recommend him to one and all. Harrison is that rare combination of competence and collegiality He’s completely on top of his game and provided us the reassurances we needed from moment one. In fact, our path with Harrison started at one of the «New Homebuyer Seminars» he and his equally competent colleague Matt Sines hold periodically all over the DMV. It was in that initial session that we appreciated for the first time all that the purchase of a home would entail. Though daunting at first, with Harrison at our side it somehow all felt methodical, manageable, and exciting.
First, Harrison has the kind of expert knowledge of the city that only a native could possess. He knows not only the hard facts of a neighborhood today, but where trends and indicators say that neighborhood is headed — a critically important skill in DC’s rapidly changing market. He’ll teach you about zoning laws that serve as unseen markers of what your future home and community could become — for better and for worse — and he’ll take you to hidden gems that you didn’t know existed.
Second, Harrison will be available to you. My husband typically works nights, meaning our schedule was harder than most to accommodate. This didn’t phase Harrison, who somehow seemed always to be available to hop out for a couple quick viewings (and to give us a ride home afterwards!). When we found a place we wanted, Harrison even made himself available on Mother’s Day to show the place to my parents. That’s Harrison — he’ll be there when it matters.
He also moves quickly because he knows DC’s highly competitive market necessitates it. He also knows that reality doesn’t make the process less nerve wracking — an inevitable feeling that Harrison combats with demonstrated competence. When we made our offer, we did it knowing that we could trust Harrison’s guidance. Throughout the offer process, he kept us informed, calm, and organized.
Third, as a new homeowner, Harrison has spent the last two years learning the ins and outs of home renovation and upgrades. His knowledge base is so comprehensive that I had to periodically remind myself that he isn’t actually a plumber or roofer or landscaper on the side. This knowledge means that when you walk in to a house, he can speak authoritatively about what it would cost and involve to personalize or upgrade this or that fixture or appliance. Ultimately, this helps you feel like you know what you’re getting in to.
Finally, Harrison loves his job. The satisfaction that he gets from helping people find their dream home is obvious and his enthusiasm is contagious. We couldn’t have asked for a realtor who cared more about our needs and hopes than Harrison. We considered Harrison a partner in our search. We think you will too.

I agree with others that Harrison is very generous with his knowledge! We didn’t end up working together due to a timing issue on my end, but Harrison was still willing to discuss neighborhoods and share his insights. He’s a native to the area and has a lot of great information to share about neighborhoods all over the city.

Harrison is an outstanding Realtor who gives of his knowledge so generously. I have participated with him in the «First Time Homebuyer» seminars he gives and he really does a terrific job going over so many of the details. As a Georgetown grad, he really believes in «education» as the key to a great transaction. If you are either a first time buyer or even a repeat buyer, Harrison’s knowledge of the real estate business will teach you something you didn’t know. I love working with him, he is a class act and I know the buyers I have met just think he is untouchable.

I can’t say enough good things about Harrison and would easily hire him again and refer him to anyone seeking to buy or sell real estate in DC or MD. I’m not a first time buyer but was new to the area, and having an agent like Harrison is a «must» for navigating a market like the DC Metro Area. Harrison is savvy, competent, honest, and discerning. These aren’t just adjectives, but should be valued individually because each of them will help you get what you want: the right house, in the right location, at the right time. In particular, his familiarity with technology and commitment to his clients are the only way you’ll be able to move on the right property before the crowd does.

Harrison is an exceptional Realtor. As a first time buyer, there is a lot to learn. Harrison was able to point out things in the showings that I may not have otherwise known to look for. He listens to what your needs are and will help you narrow down exactly what you are looking for and then show you areas that match. He was available when I needed questions answered, and he kept the progress of the purchase on track. He was flexible with my schedule for showings and timely on sensitive documents. We had an extremely smooth buying experience and Harrison was a huge part of that. I move into my new place in a week and I can’t be any happier with how the process went. Hiring Harrison is a no-​brainer if you are looking in DC or MD!

Harrison was great. Always response and clearly knows how to work with first time home buyers. He worked with me and my parents, who were very involved and supporting me in purchasing my home. He worked evenings, weekends, and was very flexible and efficient. And he’s a really nice guy! I would definitely recommend him to friends and family.

A few months ago I sold my first apartment, bought and moved in to a new one and all of it in under 2 months!
I am incredibly grateful to Harrison for not only helping me a find a bigger and better place to move into exactly in my price range and exactly what I was looking for, but also for helping me sell my condo with enough profit to make the necessary kitchen renovations on the new one!
Harrison sold my condo after only 4 days on the market and had me under contract in my new place less than a week later. It all felt so turnkey.
I was so impressed with Harrison’s knowledge, efficiency and go-​getter approach to making sure I got the terms and prices needed for my sale and purchase. I was juggling a very stressful and hectic work schedule at the time and so when I was trying to make the final decision about where to place my offers, but couldn’t personally go to see some of the places, Harrison didn’t hesitate to jump in his car visit the places for me and facetime so I could see the property! I loved that he didn’t give up on me despite how crazy my life was at the time.
But more importantly, I was blown away by his dedication. He was personally invested in each and every communication, question, issue and transaction. So much so (and he’s going to kick me under the table for mentioning this!), he offered his time and vehicle to take a load of my belongings to my new place. THAT is above and beyond the call of duty and the kind of person I want working with me on my next move.
Besides being a great agent — he’s a pretty amazing person.
I cannot say enough about what a superb experience it is to work with Harrison and hope after reading this you look no further for somebody to represent you whether you are buying or selling!

Harrison helped me find and purchase my first condo in DC and I could not be happier with the process or the result. Harrison was responsive throughout the process and made sure that all of my questions were answered promptly, and that I had all of the information to make a fully informed decision on my home purchase.
When I decided on a property, Harrison’s advance and guidance were critical to ensure that I made a competitive offer in DC’s extremely competitive market. Once my offer was accepted, Harrison worked very closely with me to go through the financing process and continued to be responsive and address any concerns that I had. During this process, the lender made a pretty significant error that led to delays and other issues. With Harrison’s guidance, I was able to secure an even better loan, pre-​close occupancy rights and close on the property in a timely manner despite having to overcome a significant hurdle. I would recommend Harrison to anyone in a heartbeat, and I will definitely use his services again in the future.
Harrison is top notch.

Harrison Beacher helped me purchase my 1^st home through the NACA program. For anyone that knows anything about NACA you may know how time consuming such a program can be. Nonetheless, Harrison in my opinion is the «unofficial» NACA Home Buying Process Guru! NACA is an AMAZING Program!
He was recommended to me by one of my colleagues after sharing a few horror stories with him about my «Realtor» search. My colleague made the connection by speaking with Harrison to ensure that it was okay to share his contact information with me (if you know anything about Harrison you know the only word that came out of his mouth was «yes.»)
Being new to the home buying process once Harrison and I met it was evident that he was more than just a Realtor; he was a genuine, knowledgeable, caring and funny guy. He gathered some information from me to be sure that he would show me homes that met my wants, needs, and desires. His knowledge of the home buying process along with his vast experience with first time home buyers was remarkable. We saw at least 10 – 15 houses, and every time we went into a house he checked the hvac system, electrical connections, and the hot water heater. If these things did not appear to be in fair shape he was quick to point that out (often referencing the cost of such upgrades and/​or repairs). He was always responsive via text message and email; and I know I drove him crazy with the amount of messages I sent.
After seeing so many homes, in late February I thought I found the home I wanted. We immediately put an offer in and Harrison made sure that any correspondence he received was sent directly to me. At the time of my offer the seller’s agent assured Harrison that my offer was the only one they received and they were expecting one more. Thus, days went by, Harrison reached out to the seller’s agent but got no response. It ended up becoming a game as I started to watch the listing daily to see if/​when the status would change. It changed one day and I immediately notified Harrison. Unfortunately, when he reached out to the sellers agent they said it must have been a mistake because they had not accepted an offer yet. Eventually, after several days had passed by the sellers agent notified us that they accepted another offer. I was EXTREMELY disappointed, but Harrison quickly stepped in and ensured me that things would work out for me. and they did!
A few days later on a Wednesday morning we agreed to see 3 houses. We went to the first one and it wasn’t up to my liking. We then went to the second house and as we pulled up on the street we both said to each other «isn’t this where one of the first houses we saw was located».and rest assure it was! One of the first houses we saw as «realtor/​buyer tandem» was next to the home we were going to view. This particular house had just been listed 24hrs ago and as we looked at the the listing before we walked inside we were trying to figure out where the third level was (of course Harrison said there is no way this house has a third level). To our surprise, it did have a third level and it showed very well. The seller added a third floor that is the master level. After spending about 20 – 30 minutes viewing the property we were on to the third and final viewing. To our surprise the lock box on that property was not working properly and we never had the chance to view that property. LUCKY for me because I had fallen in love with the 2^nd property and decided to make an offer. Harrison had another appointment, but we agreed that as soon as he was done he would meet me at my office to get the offer together. We completed the offer that same evening and submitted it. The seller countered and I accepted! That property is now mine! None of this would have been possible without Harrison. Not only did I have a great Realtor, I now have a lifelong friend!
If you are looking for a new home, Harrison is your guy! He’s absolutely amazing! Although he does not «work» for me anymore he sends emails and text messages often to see how the house is coming along and when can he stop by to see the progress.
Thanks DJ Beach!

Harrison Beacher helped me purchase my first home this year & I can’t say enough good things about him. Bottom line, I would use him again & recommend him to friends.
FULL REVIEW: Being new to the process, working with Harrison was more like having a coach than working with someone in sales. His knowledge of the market helped me confidently narrow down exactly what I was looking for and he got me under contract in just a month.
One time I emailed him about a new listing in a building I liked so he ran over & sent photos immediately. Thanks to his quick work & flexibility, I’m living in that condo today! He paid attention to everything I was looking for, showed me great options under my price cap, and really hustled to help me get the perfect condo in a competitive market.
Note for Property Virgins:
Do yourself a favor & attend one of his first time home owner info sessions. He walks you through the process in an entertaining & easy to understand way (no pressure or commitment, although I’m sure he’d love to have you as a client when you’re ready). He holds one about every other month, look for it in his Facebook events:

We were looking for the «perfect home», and were on a time crunch. Harrison came to our rescue by not only putting up with our ridiculous requirements, but he did it in less than a month! Every time we had a question or concern, he was there to save the day. He truly cares that each of his clients find the perfect home, and will go above and beyond what is expected of a real estate agent to make house hunting as easy as it can be. (We all know how stressful it is!) Whenever we decide to sell, (which won’t be for a while because we have such a great house), Harrison will be the man that we turn to!

After a year long search for the ideal condo in NE DC, Harrison had successfully helped me purchase a place that has exceeded my expectations. I would say that I was a very proactive, persistent and at times, a tough client. Saying that, Harrison had the patience to not only deal with me, but provide the «tough-​love» talks as expectations and hopes for a place of my own, seemed unreachable. Harrison has a great passion and energy for the business — always having his clients best interest in mind.

Harrison Beacher helped our family sell a Capitol Hill home and then buy our new home in Great Falls. Having worked with Realtor for many years I have never found a one that was so concerned with what was right for us and then making every decision as if he was looking out for our interests. Harrison took care of everything. He was showing us homes in Great Falls, VA, we saw some great ones, and then the perfect one. He never once pushed us into a home. He was thoughtful and found out what worked for us. He was not looking to turn us quickly but rather find a HOME. He took us back several times in the purchase process to be very certain we were certain about this commitment. As things happen in life the timing was not ideal as we put in an offer just before leaving for a vacation out of the country. As such, we had to move quickly on the sale of our home. He took care of everything so we did not have a worry. He made great decisions with respect to getting it market ready, pushed back appropriately on vendors for charges, and in the end got the home sold quickly at a very fair price. To give you a sense of the full service he provides, he would even walk our dog when coming over to take pictures or prep the home.

I cannot give Harrison enough praise. He is a great Realtor, a tremendous human being, and a person we call our friend.
