Our agents are local experts with unparalleled knowledge of the DC area real estate market and are committed to using their expertise to help you find a place you can truly call home. For more than a year, analysts have understood that the pandemic-related telework trend is shaking up the housing industry.
Still, they have had to dig deeper to understand the ways those changes are impacting home-location preferences and to predict the potential permanence of such changes. Despite the rollout of vaccines and loosened social-distancing recommendations, remote work is here to stay for many Americans, and that will continue to impact the housing market, experts say.

Walking into central Properties gave me a sense that I was making the right decision. The employees are extremely professional and go beyond to help you with all of your real estate needs. I will be using them again in the future when I decide to purchase my second home. Thanks again Central Properties!

I've purchased and sold numerous homes over the years. Paul Sliwka of Central Properties DC represented me for the sale and purchase of my most recent homes. I sincerely wish he had been my representative for all the properties I've owned over time. My experience with Paul and Central Properties was exceptional. He listened to my wants and to my concerns...actually listened, and did an outstanding job of explaining market conditions, what I could expect from him and his company, and then delivered. Selling and buying even in the best of markets is stressful. He offered full support and guidance

Paul Sliwka and Central Properties have managed our properties over the past three years with excellence and professionalism while we have been abroad. Nothing has been left to chance and we have always been fully informed of any repairs or queries as soon as they happen. In fact Paul managed our condo to be ready for rent for a new tenant by organizing all above par contractors for painting, windows, plumbing etc., and even overseeing the purchase of new appliances so all would be ready for the tenants to move in. I have highly recommended Paul and Central Properties to a number of people and

DC homeowners: Do NOT choose Central Properties for property management. Property management is their lowest priority. I was a tenant who was displaced for 6 weeks because of flooding from the DC sewer system. Central Properties does not have an emergency hotline. If your home floods or burns down in the middle of the night, don't expect to hear from them until normal business hours. For us, they were quick to get a demolition team in, but then the unit sat unmanaged and in ruin for over a month.
They blamed contractors for not getting to work faster and strung us along. I cannot emphasize enough

Paul Sliwka is the best real estate broker in the D.C. metro area, Maryland and Virginia included. My husband and I have been Paul’s clients for the past 7 years. Paul helped us purchase our first home in 2010, sell that home last year in 2015, and purchase our second (and forever) in 2015. In fact, Paul sold our first home at record speed at an exceedingly great price, and he helped us purchase our second home at an extremely aggressive price.
Paul is thoroughly knowledgeable about the real estate market in the DC metro area – neighborhood by neighborhood – and also knows building construction

Finally...SUCCESS!
Paul Sliwka is a gem of a person and a fabulous facilitator of realizing one's dream!
Notice that I did not simply refer to Paul as an "agent" - because he is much more than that... My Mom, recently retired out of the District and into new waterfront digs. She had a nightmare experience trying to rent her NW DC condo and after almost a year of carrying two monthly housing payments, decided that selling would better suit her needs. Paul drove the 120 miles rt to Moms house to meet with her. She talked. He listened AND HEARD(!!!) her concerns/hopes/dreams/fears. In fact, Paul
