Ray & Renee

"As a Colonel, we get orders to move on short notice, John has been a master at helping us buy, sell and invest in DC, MD and VA while living in Boston, Afghanistan and other spots. He has stepped-in as acting landlord for our properties since we were re-located. John really knows how to take care of his clients."

Jeff Augello

"Prior to calling on the services of John Bratton, I bounced between three separate real estate agents, all of who informed me I had unrealistic home-buying expectations. After much persuasion, my "ex-agents" convinced me I should settle for second best. What began as an exciting search for a historic Victorian on Capitol Hill soon morphed into an unpleasant search for a pre-fab colonial in the city outskirts. Enter John Bratton.

John wasted no time putting the wind back in my sail. He immediately re-directed my search back to a Capitol Hill Victorian, aggressively started screening properties, and assured me "however long it takes." Recognizing my busy work schedule, John demonstrated great respect by only requesting my time if a property hit on all cylinders. Furthermore, John’s skills are not limited to the real-estate market. He also proved to be an analytical thinker and expert negotiator. Finally, John vigorously represented my interest from the initial home search to the closing table.

This past weekend I moved into my historic Victorian on Capitol Hill. The house is grand in every sense of the word -- from its 12 foot ceilings, commercial kitchen, hand-carved oak staircase, and English garden to its close proximity to Union Station and Lincoln Park. With every passing day I grow more confident I have found the ideal home. I am forever indebted to John Bratton."

Andrew & Joan

"As Joan and I enjoy our warm, historic home located on a cozy street in Shaw halfway between Logan Circle and the new Convention Center, we have tremendous gratitude for the exhausting effort John put forth in our quest for the perfect house. There is no doubt that we were picky and demanding, but John was always there with another prime house to view and often before it even hit the open market. John spent countless hours previewing houses and showing us only the ones he thought might be a match. Importantly, John was understanding of both our demand for a quality historic structure and our limitations on money. Perhaps the best characteristic of John is that unlike most real estate agents he is sincere and straightforward -- he never tried to push us into a house because he wanted to move on to other deals. John wanted us to love our new home. To that end, John worked with us for almost a year, always eager and energetic throughout that time and upbeat that our real estate goals could be met even in an out-of-control real estate market. The highest compliment we can give is that if Joan and I ever decide to sell our property or to purchase other real estate in D.C., John will be the first and only agent we call."

"Working with John was phenomenal every step of the way. I was able to go straight from Harvard to my 1st home with ease, thanks to Bratton Realty. I am current working with John to find investment properties."

"John started working with us while we were still living in Boston. It has been a joyous year! He found exactly what we were looking for in our budget and proposed several design concepts that would best fit our needs. John is not only our lifetime agent but he is the "Uncle" to our new born son Xaiver"
