This regularly scheduled sponsored column is written by Eli Tucker, Arlington-based Realtor and Arlington resident. If you would like to work with Eli and his team in Northern Virginia and the greater D.C. Metro area, you can reach him directly at Eli@
Eli and his team believe that your real estate needs should be managed by advisors, not salespeople. Their mission is to guide, educate, and advocate for their clients through real advice, hands-on support, and personalized service.
In two weeks, on Tuesday, March 11 from 5:30-7:30 p.m., ARLnow is hosting a public, educational panel discussion that I’ll be moderating focused on new construction (process, financing, challenges, options, etc) and remodeling/adding-on to an existing home.
The panel will be highly educational and informative for anybody who is curious about the topics, but especially for anybody who is struggling with the decision many local homeowners face trying to decide whether to improve and expand their current home or move to a larger existing or new home.
This is a 100% educational event — you will not be marketed to or contacted afterwards unless you request follow-up.
The panelists are some of the top local professionals in the business:
- Matt Rzepkowski, President/Owner of MR Custom Homes (new construction expert)
- Chad Hackmann, Regional Partner/Owner Alair Homes Arlington (remodeling/expansion expert)
- Tripp DeFalco, President/Owner of DeFalco Home Design (architect)
- Brad Pace, Wealth Management Mortgage Banker and Construction Builder Specialist with US Bank (lending expert)
The event will be hosted at the Arlington Central Library Auditorium, is free, and will include a panel discussion, moderated by me, followed by an audience Q&A session, and a chance to talk to the panelists individually afterwards or schedule a follow-up meeting.

Feel free to share the invitation with anybody you think might find it useful. If you have questions or are interested in the discussion, but unable to attend, feel free to email me at [email protected].
