A real estate agent has been arrested after Arlington County police say he solicited the services of a prostitute inside a vacant, for-sale home.
Springfield, Va. resident Dennis Mahafkey, 55, was charged with unlawful entry and solicitation of prostitution after being apprehended on the 3700 block of South 2nd Street on Friday, March 11. Cops say they were tipped off when someone called to report a suspicious vehicle next to the home.
“Police were alerted when people saw a car in the driveway that did not belong there,” said police spokeswoman Det. Crystal Nosal.
Nosal said that Mahafkey was not the “listing agent” on the home, but had access via a key box on the door.
Mahafkey has 24 years of real estate experience and is noted for his “award winning service,” according to a profile on the Coldwell Banker web site. He was held on a $5,000 bond.
The arrest was listed in this week’s Arlington County crime report.

Didn’t Samantha do this on Sex and the City?
This is quite a *blow* to the Real Estate *profession* with their rigid ethical standards.
*snicker*
Can we just put up a wall preventing Fairfax residents from coming into Arlington?
Ah, here’s the elitist Arlington attitude. Take a look around smarty pants. There are plenty of criminals living around us in Arlington too.
yeah but they’re OUR criminals
Our criminals dress better and have better taste in food.
You guys are ridiculous.
“Unlawful entry.” Hehe.
haha, nice.
I see what you did there.
Did he get charged for violating a “EXIT ONLY” sign as well?
Did she charge a 6% commission?
ARLNow – why put “Randy Realtor” in the post name, if you are going to publish the guy’s real name? Randy Realtor would probably be the coolest name in the biz. I’m feeling technical this morning.
+1
We could have been technical and used the guy’s name and the word “prostitution” in the title, just as we could have used his mug shot, but in the end we decided against it.
ArlNow’s headline was fine. It gets people to read the story. Unless the guy is already famous, “Randy Realtor” tells the reader more than using his real name.
You get the use of the word “randy” there, right? It seems like a fairly typical headline.
I’m guessing he/she does not.
And here I always thought “Needs tender loving care” referred to the house.
Was he able to close the deal though?
Closing costs seemed high.
I’d bet the opening costs were higher.
Look at these brand new granite countertops, let’s do it right there.
Well, after seeing all those beehive condominiums going up all thru our once beautiful Arlington, this bit of news was welcomed as Comic Relief.
This guy is screwed. Just not the way he’d hoped.
I wonder if he got a pre-purchase inspection?
Probably some mold in the basement and some leaky pipes. But impossible to pass up for the price.
(shudder)
“As-is condition” this short sale means seller is motivated!
I wanna see the girl! Do they have streetwalking prostitutes down there? It is a slummy area…
Well, yeah, of course it’s slummy – it’s in South Arlington.
If this guy could spend the bucks on a prostitute, why wouldn’t he have just sprung for a hotel room too? Idiot.
One thing is for sure- we can all agree that this wasn’t a “short-sale”
He added an escalation clause to the contract.
Could have been a short sale, we will never know.
Apparently, no woman who isn’t being paid wants to find out, either.
OK, sorry, man.
Desire, Aptitude and Ability (that’s Daa) should be his at 75, too. But selling what you have to all comers (a realtor’s job) is not the same. Such prostitution of truth and loyalty as is found in this trade may make this guy unprepared for where his Daa should be spent. I hope he has true love somewhere so that he can arrive at 75 with Daa and success as well. His sinking image is not the prostitute’s fault! Jjbug

Wait a minute here!!! The term “Realtor” is a registered trademark of the National Association of Realtors.
If the guy was not a member of NAR [judging by his behavior he possibly wasn't!] he was not a Realtor–just a real estate agent.
Judging from the story, the woman must be a member of the “oldest profession” union since she was listed as a prostitute. Otherwise should would just be a ‘ho.
What a pervert.
Hey, it was a “MALE” prostitute, not female! hee,hee
Does this make him a “John- a -tor”?? She could be a “Prostitor”..a member of the National Association of Prostitutes??
As a Realtor myself I find his actions to be both criminal and discussing. This jerk has given all of us a black eye and I for one think he should lose his license and never be allowed the opportunity to do this again. I pride myself on the highest form of ethics most Realtors adhere to. I wonder how long this has been going on with his 24 years in the “business”.
Hear that house had exposed pipes.
