How we help · For every client

The Capital Region Home Resource Guide: our trusted home services network

The short answer

Yes. Chris Itteilag and his team recommend trusted lenders, title attorneys, home inspectors, movers, contractors, designers and many other home professionals across DC, Maryland and Virginia. Our recommendations are earned: each one is made purely on merit, free of any financial ties or affiliated business arrangements.

Our standard

Our recommendations are earned.

Every lender, attorney, inspector, contractor and specialist we recommend has earned their place by being exceptional at what they do. They are truly best in class, with the same high level of service and concierge-like accessibility we hold ourselves to with every client. These long-trusted relationships span many industries and give our clients a real advantage. Each recommendation is made purely on merit. We pride ourselves on remaining fully independent, free of any financial ties or affiliated business arrangements. We recommend the best for our clients because they deserve the best.

The same standard, on both sides

It is the same standard we hold ourselves to when you hire us: best-in-class expertise, concierge-like accessibility and relationships built on long-term trust. Chris Itteilag and his team recommend only the people they would trust with their own clients’ homes: the lender who answers on a Sunday, the inspector who explains what really matters, the title attorney who keeps a settlement calm, the movers who handle fine art with care.

Clients draw on these relationships at every stage: before buying or selling, during a renovation, on moving day and long after they settle in. Ask, and the team will match you with recommendations for your home and your project across DC, Maryland and Virginia.
