Quite the Treat
October always feels like the reward we get for enduring a hot summer. The leaves are turning, temperatures are finally dropping, and pumpkins are popping up everywhere. Fall in the DMV is beautiful, and we're grateful to call it home.
So while you're thinking about what candy to buy for the trick-or-treaters this year, start thinking about your next move. Wherever you are in the real estate process, the Perennial team is here to help you navigate what comes next.
Agent Spotlight: Meet Marci Wasserman

Before beginning her real estate career, Marci served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Cameroon, an experience that reinforced the values that continue to guide her today: collaboration, connection, service, and community. Those principles remain at the heart of the relationships she builds with every client.
Marci represents a wide range of buyers and sellers, including first-time homebuyers, empty nesters, downsizers, condominium buyers, and homeowners preparing to sell. She takes the time to understand each client's goals before developing a strategy tailored to their unique needs. Her thoughtful approach, strong negotiation skills, and comprehensive understanding of the local market help clients navigate every stage of the buying and selling process with confidence.
Known for her patience, attention to detail, and clear communication, Marci is committed to providing exceptional service from the first meeting through closing and beyond. She believes that buying or selling a home should be a collaborative experience, and she remains available to answer questions, provide guidance, and help clients make well-informed decisions every step of the way.
Before transitioning into real estate, Marci built successful careers in information systems, client services, and community organizing. Those experiences strengthened the organizational skills, problem-solving abilities, and work ethic that continue to benefit her clients today. Her dedication to excellence earned her recognition as a Washingtonian Elite Producer in 2021 and 2022.
Outside of real estate, Marci enjoys making homemade yogurt, reading science fiction and daily newspapers, and exploring Major League Baseball stadiums across the country while cheering on the Washington Nationals. Her deep connection to the community extends well beyond real estate, making her a trusted resource for clients who want to feel at home in the neighborhoods they choose.
