\nAs in any other transition period, real estate agencies in Washington, DC are steeling themselves for a wave of prospective buyers associated with the incoming US administration, Investor\u2019s Business Daily reported.
\nThis particular batch\u00a0is more loaded than usual, however.
\nThe first 17 nominees to US President-elect Donald Trump\u2019s cabinet and positions of similar rank are worth a combined USD9.5 billion \u2014 richer than a third of the 126 million households in the US. Trump himself has a net worth of USD3.7 billion, the richest US chief executive ever.
\nSeveral real estate agents in the District of Columbia are setting aside differences to accommodate this perceived influx of moneyed home-hunters who want to be close to the nation\u2019s seat of power. Aside from the Trump Tower in New York, that is.
\nMore: Donald Trump: \u2018I am hard to please and pleased when I am\u2019
\n\u201cHey, I was a Hillary person,\u201d said Tom Daley of TTR Sotheby\u2019s International Realty, who raised more than USD100,000 for Trump\u2019s Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. \u201cBut from a real estate perspective: Thank you very much. Come in folks. Let\u2019s get you a nice new house.\u201d
\nA broker with Washington Fine Properties reported having shown listings recently to representatives of Trump\u2019s nominees. One of them reportedly looked at a USD15.5 million, seven-bedroom home that used to house the French ambassador.
\nWilbur Ross, the billionaire private equity investor newly designated as commerce secretary, already purchased a USD12 million estate in Massachusetts Heights, The Washington Post reported earlier this month.
\n\u201cIf Secretary Clinton had won, it would be less of a transition,\u201d Daley said. \u201cA lot of her people were already here. With the Trump administration, we\u2019re getting a whole new breed of people coming in.\u201d
