Award-winning builders with hundreds of custom homes across the DC metro area.
Full-service team of architects, developers, and builders, working in partnership with licensed Realtors®.
We maintain the largest list of new homes and building lots in Arlington, Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Falls Church, McLean, Potomac, Vienna, and Northwest DC.

How It Works

Step 1 — Confidential Property Access Agreement ($1,500 Program Fee)
You’ll sign a short agreement directly with Paramount Construction, Inc. and pay a $1,500 program fee. This grants you access to our Private Property Portal — our internal database of teardown homes and building lots in the DC metro area — plus feasibility studies, custom concept plans, and comprehensive pricing for up to 12 properties. With our Halloween Special (ends October 31), you pay only $500 and get UNLIMITED properties with no 12-property cap.

The portal includes two distinct sources of properties:
• MLS Properties: Public/on-market properties that match your criteria
• Private Wholesale List: Off-market properties from our exclusive seller network, posted once we receive seller approval

New opportunities are added in stages, not on a fixed schedule, as our team secures property access and as qualifying public listings appear.

Step 2 — Buyer Representation Through a Licensed Realtor
Paramount Construction, Inc. is not a real-estate brokerage. For any on-market (MLS) purchase you decide to pursue, you’ll work with a licensed real-estate agent (for example, Lori Maggin, Realtor® with Rory S. Coakley Realty, Inc.) so you have professional representation on that transaction.

💰 Bonus: When we build your new home, we credit the buyer broker agent’s commissions back to you — this can significantly offset your total investment. For example, on a $1.3M teardown property, the commission credit would be approximately $32,500 (2.5% of purchase price).

Know Everything BEFORE You Buy — Complete Analysis in 2 Days or Less

Before you put any money at risk on a lot, we deliver a complete analysis package for each property you’re interested in — typically in 2 days or less: feasibility study, custom concept plan (or selection from our Paramount Portfolio), and exact base home price. This is the same rigorous process we use internally to reduce risk and calculate accurate build costs. You see the land, the design, and the total cost before making an offer. No waiting. No guessing. No money at risk until you have complete clarity.

Before You Commit to a Property

Before you put any money at risk, our in-house architecture and build team will:

  1. Perform a Feasibility Study to verify the approximate buildable area of the lot (setbacks, coverage, zoning, site constraints).
  2. Layout a Custom Concept Plan — or select a plan from our Paramount Portfolio — directly on a sketch of the lot survey so you can see exactly how the house fits.
  3. Calculate the Base Home Price using our Paramount Standard Specifications, including site costs, demolition costs, and utility costs.
  4. Build an Interactive Pricing Spreadsheet (Excel) so you can review finishes, upgrades, and options — and understand total project cost.

You see the land, the house concept, and the complete projected cost before making any offer or spending money on the property. For each property you’re interested in, we complete the full package — feasibility study, concept plan (or Paramount Portfolio selection), and exact base price — in 2 days or less. If you’d like to see additional design options or alternative layouts for the same lot, each additional concept adds to the timeline.

What You Get When You Sign Up

  • Access to our Private Property Portal with two distinct property sources: MLS listings + our exclusive private wholesale list (public + private addresses posted as available).
  • Feasibility study, custom concept plan (or selection from our Paramount Portfolio), and comprehensive pricing package for each lot you’re seriously considering — delivered in 2 days or less before you put any money at risk on the property. Up to 12 properties with standard program, or UNLIMITED properties with Halloween Special ($500).
  • Transparent base pricing including site costs, demolition costs, and utility costs, plus an interactive upgrade/options spreadsheet so you can dial in finishes and total cost.
  • Representation by a licensed Realtor for any MLS/on-market purchase you choose to move forward on.
  • Commission credit when we build your home — the buyer broker agent’s commissions are credited back to you, which can significantly offset your total investment. Example: On a $1.3M teardown, you’d receive approximately $32,500 back (2.5% commission credit).

Why These Opportunities Exist:
Our private wholesale network includes off-market properties from estate sales, divorces, relocations, and sellers prioritizing speed and privacy over maximum price. Without public listing competition and bidding wars, buyers sometimes secure properties below typical market value. While we can’t guarantee below-market pricing, these examples show what’s possible when you have access to motivated sellers before properties hit the open market.

🎯 In This Tight Inventory Market, Just Getting Access to Exclusive Neighborhoods is Worth the Program Fee

Even if you pay market price, you’re acquiring property in neighborhoods where inventory rarely hits the market. Plus, with territory exclusivity, you’re never competing with other buyers for the same properties.

Why Buyers Are Signing Up for This Program

  • Potential below-market acquisition opportunities — our private wholesale network gives access to off-market properties where some buyers have negotiated below typical market values. Example: $1.1M property acquired for $975K ($125K savings). Results vary and aren’t guaranteed, but early access to motivated sellers provides negotiating advantages.
  • Exclusive access to private property network — teardown and lot opportunities not listed on the public market in your exclusive territory, giving you less competition and better pricing. Our network includes 1,000+ properties across all DC metro areas.
  • Territory exclusivity — only ONE client per target area at a time, so you’re never competing against other Paramount buyers for the same properties.
  • Tight inventory market advantage — in exclusive neighborhoods like McLean, Bethesda, and Northwest DC where inventory rarely hits the market, just getting ACCESS to available properties is invaluable.
  • No cookie-cutter plans — every home design is custom-crafted specifically for your lot and lifestyle. Plus, we maintain the largest list of new homes and building lots in these exclusive neighborhoods.
  • Full clarity before you commit — complete buildability analysis, custom design, and total project budget delivered in 2 days or less, before you put any money at risk on a property.
  • Comprehensive analysis for up to 12 properties — with feasibility studies, concept plans, and detailed pricing for each property you’re seriously considering. With the Halloween Special ($500), this limit is removed and you get UNLIMITED property analyses.
  • Drastically reduced competition — with our private property list and territorial exclusivity, you’re never competing with other Paramount buyers, and off-market properties have far fewer competing offers than public MLS listings. You negotiate directly with motivated sellers in a much less competitive environment.
  • Architectural and construction expertise baked into the process from day one.
  • Limited enrollment — we only onboard a select number of buyers per quarter to maintain our high-touch, personalized service.
  • 🎃 Halloween Special pricing — save $1,000 off the program fee AND get unlimited property analyses (no 12-property cap) when you sign up by October 31st.

Common Questions

Q: What happens after I sign up?
A: After payment, you’ll receive an email with both agreements to sign electronically (takes about 2 minutes total): the Confidential Property Access and Analysis Agreement with Paramount Construction, and the Buyer Agency Agreement with Lori Maggin (Realtor®). Once signed, you’ll get instant access to the Private Property Portal and can start reviewing properties right away. You can review both full agreements above before signing up.

Q: What agreements will I be signing?
A: You’ll sign two agreements: (1) A Confidential Property Access and Analysis Agreement directly with Paramount Construction for access to our private property network and analysis services, and (2) A Buyer Agency Agreement with Lori Maggin (Realtor® with Rory S. Coakley Realty, Inc.) for representation on any MLS property purchases. Both are 180-day agreements with 7-day cancellation notice after ratification. Key terms for both agreements are outlined in the “Review the Agreements You’ll Sign” section above, and you can download the full PDFs to review before signing up.

Q: Can I really get properties below market value?
A: It’s possible but not guaranteed. Our private wholesale network includes off-market properties from estate sales, divorces, relocations, and sellers prioritizing speed and privacy over maximum price. Without public listing competition, some buyers are able to negotiate below typical market values. The examples shown (ranging from $60K-$125K in savings) are real but represent individual cases. Every property and seller situation is different. What we can guarantee is exclusive access to properties before they hit the public market, which gives you a significant advantage in this tight inventory market — even if you end up paying fair market value.

Q: What is the Territory Exclusivity Policy?
A: We only accept ONE active client per target area at a time, which means you have first right to see and evaluate all properties in your territory. When you sign up for Arlington, Bethesda, McLean, or another area, no other Paramount clients will be competing with you for properties in that area. Your territorial exclusivity lasts for the duration of your 180-day agreement (or until you acquire a property). Call 301-370-6463 to check current availability for your desired area.

Q: What are the qualifying requirements?
A: To qualify for territory exclusivity, you need: (1) Minimum $1.7M total investment capacity (land + build), (2) Proof of funds showing at least 25% down payment ability, and (3) Be in position to acquire a property within 3 months if it meets your requirements. These requirements ensure all clients are serious, qualified buyers ready to move quickly on the right opportunity.

Q: How do I check if my target area is available?
A: Call 301-370-6463 before signing up to check current territory availability. If your desired area is taken, we can add you to the waitlist and notify you immediately when it opens up.

Q: What does the program fee cover?
A: The $1,500 standard program fee grants you access to the Private Property Portal with both MLS listings and our exclusive private wholesale list, plus feasibility studies, custom concept plans (or selections from our Paramount Portfolio), and comprehensive pricing packages with site costs, demolition costs, and utility costs included for up to 12 properties. With our Halloween Special (ends October 31, 2025), you pay only $500 and get UNLIMITED properties with no 12-property cap — plus expert guidance throughout your search.

Q: What if I need to analyze more than 12 properties?
A: With the standard $1,500 program, you’re covered for up to 12 properties. However, if you sign up by Halloween (October 31, 2025) for just $500, we remove the 12-property limit entirely — giving you unlimited feasibility studies, concept plans, and comprehensive pricing for as many properties as it takes to find your perfect match.

Q: What about the commission credit?
A: When we build your new home, we credit the buyer broker agent’s commissions back to you. This can significantly offset your total investment and is an additional benefit beyond the portal access and services. For example, on a $1.3M teardown property, the commission credit would be approximately $32,500 (typically 2.5% of the purchase price).

Q: How long does it typically take to find the right property?
A: It depends entirely on your requirements and priorities. Some buyers with flexible criteria find their perfect property within a day or two. Others with very specific requirements — such as needing a property on particular streets, specific lot sizes, or certain orientations — can take several months. The timeline is up to you and what you’re looking for. We work at your pace until we find exactly what matches your needs.

Q: What’s the difference between MLS properties and your private wholesale list?
A: MLS properties are publicly listed and available to all buyers through real estate agents. Our private wholesale list consists of off-market properties from our exclusive seller network — opportunities not available to the general public, often with less competition and better pricing.

Q: What if I find a property on my own?
A: Perfect! We can still provide feasibility studies, custom concept plans (or selections from our Paramount Portfolio), and comprehensive build pricing including site costs, demolition, and utilities for any property you’re considering — whether you found it through us or on your own.

Q: How quickly can you turn around a feasibility study?
A: For each property you’re interested in, we deliver the complete package — feasibility study, concept plan (or Paramount Portfolio selection), and exact base price — in 2 days or less. This happens before you put any money at risk on the property, so you have complete clarity before making an offer. If you’d like to see additional design options or alternative layouts for the same lot, each additional concept will add time to the process. We understand that in competitive markets, speed matters, which is why we deliver fast turnarounds on every property analysis.

Q: Do I have to build with Paramount Construction?
A: The program is designed for clients who plan to build with Paramount. Some properties in our network are targeted for our own spec home development, and making them available to clients is a significant opportunity. While we’re not requiring a binding commitment upfront, the expectation is that you’ll work with us for design and construction. If you do build with us, you receive the buyer broker commission credit — for example, approximately $32,500 on a $1.3M property purchase (2.5% commission).

Lots in Bethesda, Arlington, McLean, Chevy Chase, Vienna, Potomac, Falls Church, and NW DC don’t last. If you’re even thinking about building or buying, now is the time to start the conversation.
