The History of Good Deeds

GoodDeeds is more than just a great company name. It is a way of living and a way of doing business. It is our way of living and our way of doing business. Our family has responsibly and respectfully served our communities in this country for more than 250 years, as builders on the frontier, merchants in our nation’s capital, and property managers and real estate agents in Montgomery County, Maryland.

Our family-owned buyers and sellers agency remains true to this legacy and stands by our motto, “A family business that works for your family.” Specializing in residential real estate transactions in Chevy Chase, MD, and the immediately surrounding communities, GoodDeeds is dedicated to bringing families together with their ideal home, one that they will cherish for years to come. We know these areas because we live in these areas, and we understand the nuances of the market like no other agency. In addition, as part of Long & Foster Real Estate, Inc., we have every resource needed to find the right home for you and your family.

We are GoodDeeds… and always will be.
