First Decision Realty, LLC has grown from an independent brokerage founded during the financial crisis into a Tysons-based operation with more than 40 licensed agents serving clients across four jurisdictions.

Principal broker Jorge Alvarez established the company, commonly known as FDR, in 2009. Its office is at 8500 Leesburg Pike in Tysons, and its agents operate in Virginia, Maryland, Washington, D.C., and West Virginia.

The brokerage works with buyers, sellers, and real estate investors at a range of price points. Its services include market analysis, property valuations, pricing guidance, negotiations, open-house information, mortgage calculators, and real-time housing-market reports.

Agents also advise buyers about neighborhoods, school zones, commuting conditions, and comparable sales. The company’s primary service area includes Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William, Montgomery, and Prince George’s counties.

FDR has developed a particular focus on serving Northern Virginia’s Latin American community. Its multilingual team includes agents with roots in Colombia, El Salvador, Peru, Honduras, Mexico, and other countries. Clients can complete the home-buying process in Spanish, from their initial inquiry through closing.

The brokerage reports that referrals from previous clients account for most of its business. It has also received five-star Google ratings across its agents and recognition through the business networking platform Alignable.

Client comments published on Alignable describe individual FDR agents as professional, courteous, and attentive advocates. Another testimonial supplied by the company says one repeat client referred both a sister and a coworker after working with the brokerage.

Now in its 17th year, First Decision Realty continues to serve first-time purchasers, longtime homeowners, and investors throughout the Washington metropolitan area from its Tysons office.
