    From Corporate Hospitality to Real Estate Hospitality with Lyndsi + Matt

    Lyndsi and Matt know DC — not just the streets and neighborhoods, but the pulse of the city itself. Lyndsi began her career bringing major conventions to Washington, earning national recognition as a "30 Under 30" leader in destination marketing. She brings that same hospitality-driven focus to real estate, guiding clients through big decisions with clear strategy, sharp research, and a deep love for the city she now helps people call home. Matt grew up just outside DC and made it official after college, living in neighborhoods from Logan Circle to Brookland. After a decade in public relations for brands like Animal Planet and Marriott, he turned his passion for real estate into a full-time career, combining strong communication skills with insider knowledge of DC, Maryland, and Virginia. When they’re not scouting listings or closing deals, you’ll find Lyndsi chasing the city’s best gin martini and Matt coaching future Nationals fans — but always keeping a close eye on what’s next in the city they love.

    The Heider Effect: Manifesting $487M in 2024 and a Luxury Legacy

    As a trailblazer in the industry, Daniel Heider entered the real estate world 17 years ago with a clear vision: an obsession with luxury and a desire to represent the finest things. Despite plenty of doubters in those early days, Daniel’s unwavering belief in the power of aspiration and creativity propelled him to the top. “Feeling great is what gives you creative power to manifest everything,” he says. Guided by the philosophy that “luxury is a feeling, not a price point,” Daniel redefined what it means to deliver a high-end real estate experience. “I’ve surrounded myself in luxury,” he explains, “and that doesn’t necessarily mean I’m laying on a chaise lounge being fed grapes while being fanned by people—it’s about embracing excellence in every facet of life.” This mindset has taken him to extraordinary heights, including an astounding $487 million in sales volume in 2024. For Daniel, it’s not about limitations—whether by neighborhood, property type, or career expectations—it’s about selling the most interesting things for the most interesting people. From record-breaking multimillion-dollar sales to meticulously curated property showcases, Daniel continues to reshape the industry, proving that true luxury is both a mindset and a mission.
