Sally Heckman - #810 Watergate West
" I recently sold my Watergate West apartment through Winston Real Estate. They clearly have the depth of knowledge it takes to market the unique attributes of the Watergate, especially in these tough sell times !! Their resourcefulness in providing up to date and accurate price comparisons was unmatched. Their service and attention to detail was top notch. Their marketing of the property was very well done and brought in a lot of viewings. Simply put- they know their market!
Cheers,
Sally

"Gigi and her family know Watergate unlike anyone else. A local celebrity of sorts in this close-knit community, Gigi is sure to provide unparalleled service, experience and has built a reputation you can depend on.
I highly recommend this company if you are considering a Co-Op or Condo in the Georgetown, West End or Foggy Bottom communities.

"I have used and done business with Winston Real Estate in the purchase of Apartment 1401-S as well as the sale of Apartment 1211-S in the apartment complex known as Watergate East. Gigi Winston is very well-informed and has handled most efficiently the requirements of the Watergate East Cooperative regarding the sale and transfer of title to these apartments. Her vast experience in selling apartments in the various Watergate complexes gives her a sense of what any particular apartment is worth, how best to market it and what questions she might anticipate from prospective purchasers. Gigi Winston also brings to the point of sale a most gracious and charming manner that tends to make her clients feel that much more comfortable. Lastly and most importantly, I understand that most of the recent sales of apartments in the Watergate residential buildings have been handled through Winston Real Estate. As a result, those looking for apartments in the Watergate are most likely to first get in touch with Winston Real Estate and examine their inventory of apartments before looking elsewhere." back to top

"Now that it's all over, I had to send you a note to say thanks for all your help and encouragement over the past couple of months. Thanks to you, I get to stay in my favorite neighborhood, and in a wonderful community! I so appreciated your good advice, which made it possible, and your good humor, which made it fun.

"The listing agent at Winston Real Estate did an excellent job for our recent sale of the penthouse cooperative unit in the Watergate East which was owned by my mother's estate. I initially considered hiring another broker, but decided to retain Ms. Gigi Winston instead because of her years of experience with the Watergate. I am pleased with my decision as her familiarity with the inner workings of the approval process, and her good personal relationships with the building management, proved very helpful as she helped us navigate through the process of getting the purchaser approved by the coop's screening committee. Ms. Winston was always very professional and responsive, and she had a good sense about how to price the unit. I am quite experienced in real estate matters, having been a commercial real estate attorney from 1982-1997, and then the President of a real estate management firm from 1997 to the present.

Joy and Graham Wyatt - #1110 Watergate West
"Winston Real Estate got together with us the day we called, to plan the sale of our apartment. Their savvy about selling in a tough market was priceless. Their insight, responsiveness, attention to detail and marketing all resulted in a rapid sale at a reasonable price. If we had another apartment to sell, we would have Winston handle it, without question.

"You did an excellent job representing us for our Penthouse Apartment in Watergate East when we decided to move after eight wonderful years of living there. It's now been over two years since we moved, and we have fond memories. The brochures you created were terrific and the exposure generated within the real estate community led to some excellent leads and finally to a very fair offer from an extremely qualified buyer. In addition, the interchange between you and the Buyer's agent led to a quick and smooth settlement. Again, thanks for your service and always being available. Being "onsite" at the Watergate is a special plus in using Winston and Winston (Winston Real Estate). We did interview other agents but felt that they would not always take the time and effort to show our apartment. Finally, the personal interaction with Gigi Winston made the whole process even fun to be a seller. Your attitude and positive outlook were a benefit in doing all the necessary things in selling an apartment, with specific knowledge of the Watergate cooperatives. " back to top
