Tom Faison  A native of Greensboro, North Carolina, Tom attended Guildford College. His unbridled energy proved a natural for his first job as a horse trainer in Warrenton, Virginia.
In 1990 Tom was licensed as a realtor and took honors in 1991 as the top first year licensee. Finding real estate the perfect fit for his spirit and enthusiasm, he quickly won GRI (Graduate Realtor Institute) designation and earned his broker’s license in 2000. Tom’s success is directly proportionate to his prowess at and pleasure in what he does. In fact, each year since 1997, Tom has sold in excess of $20 million in Washington DC real estate.
Tom sees his role this way:
“I know most clients start out thinking of their realtor as a salesperson. I hope that by the close of our first meeting I’m able to change that perception. Substantially.
First off, I think of myself as an educator…maybe a “tutor” is more like it. I try to inform my clients about the homebuying process, so first time buyers, in particular, feel more comfortable. After all, buying a house, especially 3 br houses in DC area, is 50% an emotional decision, 50% a financial decision.
I try to learn how my clients live before I go and show them houses they’d be happy living in. It’s not just about the number of bathrooms or even the location. It’s finding out what are the “must haves”, the compromise points and the deal breakers. Frankly, by the end of my first meeting with a new client, their original priorities often change subtstantially.
It’s my job to help clients be realistic…or they aren’t going to be satisfied with the process, much less the home they end up with. I may lose a few clients through my honesty, but I more than make up for it in the number of people who buy their 2nd and 3rd home from me."

Jesse R. Hagopian  Born in South Yarmouth of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Jesse enjoyed growing up in a friendly, family oriented community and later worked with a local commercial fishing venture. After graduating with a political Studies degree from Gordon College in 2002, he moved to Washington, DC to serve as office manager of a trade association. Recognizing his passion for real estate, Jesse obtained his real estate license in MD, VA, and DC and joined the Tom Faison Group in the summer of 2005.
In Jesse ’s Words:
"Learning what is important for a client and adding our
team's experience, expertise, and hard work is an unfailing formula
for success in buying and selling real estate. Guiding a variety of people
through this careful process and being with them as they discover the unique
and diverse neighborhoods within our Nation's Capitol City is a joy for
me.
Purchasing a home is one of the most important financial and personal
decisions people make since this decision reflects their priorities
and influences their future. My aim is to serve each client with patience,
diligence, and expertise as they weigh their different preferences,
concerns, and needs."

Tim Barley  A native of Pennsylvania, Tim grew up in Lancaster County where his family has been since they were granted their land deed by William Penn; so Tim understands the importance of place. Having joined the Faison Group this year, he is new to the RE/MAX Office but far from new to real estate. Tim credits his interest in buying, selling and managing properties to a long family history of real estate investment, and benefited from the mentorship of experienced relatives from an early age. By the time he was in college, Tim had purchased and was managing 12 apartments. After completing his degree in Public Policy at Patrick Henry College in Virginia he relocated to DC and worked in politics, but always kept real estate as a side interest, buying, renovating and managing several homes on Capitol Hill. In 2010, he decided to make real estate his full-time endeavor and started with the Faison Group. His energy, enthusiasm and love for people make him well suited for the task of helping buyers through the process of purchasing a home. His particular knowledge of houses, gained from working on many renovation and development projects, and from years in the business are what make him an excellent resource and guide.
