On account of the fast-moving nature of DC actual property, we couldn’t ascertain a location till the week prior to the shoot… after which pass our palms that it didn’t cross underneath contract (which might obstruct our skill to shoot, within the match that there was once an inspection or one thing scheduled). Smartly, certain sufficient, the home we selected DID cross underneath contract the night time prior to we arrived, yet we have been ready to make it occur anyways- tremendous thankful to Connie having the ability to navigate that with the list agent!
