Bryant Mortimer is a licensed Realtor with BPG Residential, apart of Keller Williams Capital Properties.  As a native Washingtonian, Bryant always had a genuine interest in and appreciation for the neighborhoods that make up the Greater Washington Metropolitan Region. From Ivy City to Petworth, Navy Yard to The Palisades, Clarendon to Del Ray, each has its own unique aesthetic. Following graduation from Roanoke College Bryant returned to The District, and moved into a three bedroom row home just off of Anna Cooper Circle in Le Droit Park. Living in this historic neighborhood, founded in the late 19th century with 64 original homes all unique in design, is what triggered his interest in a future in real estate. One thing led to another and life took him down a different path, but after a number of years in a corporate software sales role he decided to transition away from what he likes to call a "sell umm and forget umm" type of transaction to something that is based more on relationship building, trust, and professionalism. When he is not walking neighborhoods with clients, or holding open houses, you can find him playing softball, advocating for the American Red Cross, taking in a Capitals or Nationals game, barbecuing with family and friends, or taking Millie, his American Staffordshire Terrier, out to West Virginia for a weekend in the woods. www.bpgreal.com
