Enjoy a swim in the outdoor heated pool. Be pampered in the Watergate Salon. Dine at the new Ancora restaurant or treat

yourself to a dessert from the famous Watergate Pastry Shop. Take in a boat ride, dine out, enjoy a movie at the Loews

Georgetown theatre or take a coffee break at the Swedish Embassy located at the nearby Washington Harbour. A concert or

theatre performance at the Kennedy Center is just a few steps away, while the farmer’s market or Whole Foods Market are

a quick stroll through the quaint Foggy Bottom neighborhood. But at the end of the day you can simply relax in your luxury

Watergate home and take in the gorgeous DC river view and cityscape.

Not only do we cooperate with other Realtors, we facilitate

property showings at the Watergate to their clients by being

readily available to answer questions and provide quick access

to any necessary property information. Many Realtors call

Winston Real Estate first before even checking the multiple

listing directories when they have a potential client. We

regularly contact other Realtors to help keep your Watergate

home in the forefront.

The Watergate is a historic apartment complex with three luxury

residential buildings situated on 10 acres of prime real estate on

the edge of Washington, DC. Watergate South, East and West

together account for 750 luxury apartments, some of which feature

penthouse and townhouse-style floor plans, private balconies and

sweeping panoramic views of the Potomac River.

The Watergate boasts first class conveniences and amenities.

Each of the residential buildings offers a separate garden with

fountains and an outdoor heated pool. In addition, residents enjoy

24-hour concierge service, an on-site CVS/Pharmacy, Post Office,

PNC Bank and a selection of restaurants, shops and salons. The

Kennedy Performing Arts Center, Whole Foods Market, and Foggy

Bottom Metro stop are just a short walk away.

This cooperative apartment complex is conveniently located

within minutes of the newly reconstructed, beautiful Georgetown

Waterfront, where you can enjoy a fine meal or share a few drinks

at the Sequoia or any of the other waterfront restaurants, grab a

coffee at the Swedish Embassy or just sit back by the fountain,

which becomes a public ice rink in the winter. Watergate’s unique

landscape design features seven gardens, tri-level park, several

fountains and promenades, and open-air shopping area. Along

with the building’s graceful architectural elements, they incorporate

Architect Luigi Moretti’s innovative idea of bringing the country to

the city. This creates a natural flow from the building’s singular

style to the expansive banks of the Potomac River, and makes all

of Watergate’s amenities easily accessible by means of carefully

planned walkways, both above and below ground.

Living at the Watergate can put all of these conveniences

right at your doorstep!

We take care of every aspect of the listing process, down to the smallest

details like arranging furniture pieces and digitally retouching each

individual photo. Why? Photos are often the first thing that captures

the attention of prospective buyers. Our aim is to make that first

impression a memorable one and to allow the buyers to immediately

visualize themselves in their next dream home.

We use professional imaging techniques like High Dynamic

Range image fusion to capture full range of light and shadows.

This allows us to preserve interior details while showcasing

the vivid exterior view by layering several photos to create one

final beautiful image.

We also offer an option to develop an interactive 360o Virtual

Reality photosphere, a new technology that allows viewers

to “enter and look around” inside a digital photo-environment

similar to Google Street View.

Having an attractive, user-friendly, properly indexed site is not always enough

to maximize listing exposure online. This is why we developed a brand new

keyword marketing campaign. By purchasing over 150 carefully selected,

relevant keywords, we not only bring 15% more viewers to our site, but also

reduce the number of “empty” views, narrowing exposure to only serious

prospects interested in purchasing a home in your area.

During the month, our web site appeared in search results

337 times when someone searched for “watergate real

estate.” 28 people clicked on our add during this period.

Many listing agents rarely go beyond generic online ad placement to market homes.

Winston Real Estate is different. We actively manage carefully selected keywords and

local business pages on Google to make searches more relevant to potential buyers.

Page 15: Winston Real Estate Booklet

Our goal is to fully engage the client in

the search experience, not simply drench

potential buyers in unwanted ads. At

Winston Real Estate, we research new

and test and utilize existing services like

Google Places and Google+ network to

make the property search experience

more useful and relevant to the customer.

This not only sets us apart from, but also

gives Winston Real Estate a unique edge

over many other brokerage firms.
