Our STORY

In 2005 my brother and I set out to form a Property Management company that could revolutionize the industry by combining traditional business values, a relentless work ethic and forward-thinking processes, software and technology.

For 20 years we have poured our hearts, soul, time and money into Nomadic with the goal of providing clients with the best possible property management experience. Every meeting starts with the same goal; how can we make our product better.

At Nomadic, we have an incredible team. We work extremely hard 7 days a week, we obsess over strong communication and responsiveness, and we care about providing the best possible service for our clients and tenants.

To this day, we are a company centered around humility and doing things the right way–we know how hard running a small business can be. When a client signs up with us, it is a privilege, and we work tirelessly to earn their trust and confidence and provide true peace of mind.

What we do

Nomadic is a full service real estate firm in Washington, DC. We provide property management, leasing, and real estate sales services throughout Washington DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia for single family homes, condo units, and small-medium multifamily apartment buildings. We provide a full suite of real estate investment services for foreign service officers, small landlords, institutional investors, syndicators, and real estate developers throughout the DC Metro Area.

A message from the founder

In 2005, my brother Ben and I set out to build something meaningful with Nomadic Real Estate. Nearly 20 years later, we’re proud to say we’re still a family-owned business focused exclusively on serving the DC Metro Area market. Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of helping more than 4,000 homeowners with their leasing, property management, and brokerage needs, all while forging close, genuine relationships with clients who trust us with their homes, even attending some weddings and kids’ birthday parties along the way.

Nomadic Real Estate is, at its heart, a family effort. My brother and I are joined by our sister, our cousin, and a team of talented professionals, some of whom have been with us for over a decade, who share our dedication to providing exceptional, personalized service. We combine this personal touch with cutting-edge technology and a data-driven approach to ensure clear communication, proactive service, and lasting results for every client.

DC isn’t just where we work—it’s our home and community. We understand the unique challenges and rewards of property management here, and we’re deeply committed to creating homes where tenants can thrive, while helping our clients achieve their financial goals. I’m excited by the opportunity to welcome you to Nomadic, and I truly appreciate your interest in partnering with us.

The Nomadic Process

Our property management process is optimized for peace of mind and passive income for our clients, while providing a comfortable and enjoyable home for your tenants to love.

Leasing

Minimize vacancies and maximize rents

Nomadic has built a powerful suite of leasing tools that set us apart as an industry leader. We offer professional photography, 3D renderings, floor plans, video tours, virtual staging, syndication to 27 top listing sites, 24/7 lead response, and over 400 weekly showing slots for prospective tenants. In addition, our custom-built, fully compliant tenant screening platform allows us to move from application to executed lease quickly — without ever compromising on thoroughness.

Maintenance/Work Orders

Fast repairs and controlled costs

We leverage an industry-leading software platform that integrates with over 100 vendors across 30+ service sectors, ensuring every repair at your rental property is completed with high-quality workmanship, on time, and at a cost-effective rate. You’ll receive real-time notifications for every work order, including repair dates, vendor details, closeout notes, photos, and invoices — all in one place. Always stay informed without ever needing to get involved.

Accounting

Consistent payments and deep reporting

Our software is built to provide clients with a fully customizable, real-time financial reporting library, offering complete transparency into every aspect of their property’s financials. Rent is typically collected on the 1st and deposited as a net credit to our clients between the 5th and 8th. Clients can access detailed reports breaking down every line item, while year-end 1099s and Schedule E postings make managing property accounting easier than ever.

Our Team

Our Executive Team has been 20 years in the making, bringing a combined 100 years of experience and expertise directly to your doorstep. At Nomadic, we’ve built our team around core values that matter; care, work ethic, ambition, empathy, and a relentless, solution-oriented mindset.

We believe that when our team thrives, so do our clients. By aligning our success with yours, we create a partnership where exceptional client experiences and employee growth go hand in hand, a philosophy that drives everything we do.

Industry Leading Communication Platform

Modern business communication is broken. We live in a world of automated responses, endless holding queues, and too often, no response at all. When you finally reach someone, you're forced to re-explain your situation to a new agent — no wonder stress levels are so high. At Nomadic, we are the exact opposite. Strong communication and same-day responsiveness are the foundation of our company. Every client receives a dedicated point of contact, industry-leading response times, daily updates (even when we don’t have a final answer), and access to a responsive team seven days a week. Call, email, or text: we're here, and we’re answering.

24/7 mentality and Relentless work-ethic

It is hard to run a successful service company if you are only open Monday – Friday from 9AM-5PM. At Nomadic, we are a company for seven days a week, 24 hours a day with a relentless work ethic. The Nomadic team takes enormous pride in working until the job is completed and that mentality is rooted in our culture.

Care and Appreciation

We care deeply about the work we do. Most of our clients aren’t large investors — they own one or two properties, often homes filled with memories that they may return to one day. We understand the personal connection you have to your property, and we carry that responsibility with great respect. Every decision we make is driven by a commitment to strengthen our company, better serve you, and honor the trust you place in us. Your business is a privilege, and earning your confidence by doing things the right way will always be our top priority.

Technology

Over the past three years, Nomadic has made a significant investment in upgrading our technology and software infrastructure. Rather than relying on a single off-the-shelf platform — which can be limiting — we’ve built a fully integrated, custom interface by combining the best solutions across communications, leasing, management, and accounting. This custom approach gives us a major competitive edge, allowing us to operate faster, smarter, and more efficiently than traditional property management firms. The result is a powerful, seamless platform that puts the industry’s most advanced tools — and the strongest management team — at your fingertips.

Providing Value through Experience and Expertise

Great client experience comes down to four essentials: clear communication, full occupancy with high-quality tenants, cost-effective and reliable maintenance, and complete financial transparency. While it sounds simple, many firms fall short. At Nomadic, we've built a business model specifically designed to deliver on these promises. You’ll have one dedicated point of contact, available seven days a week by phone, email, or text. Our approach combines industry-leading technology, custom-built software, detailed workflows, and a highly trained team all working together to deliver exceptional value and lasting peace of mind
