- Certified Manager of Community Associations (CMCA)

Our History
EJF Real Estate Services traces its origins to the 1920s, when Edmund J. Flynn introduced the concept of housing cooperatives to Washington, DC. The Edmund J. Flynn Company was the pioneering force behind a great number of the area's premiere cooperative and condominium associations and was directly involved in the development or conversion of many of the district's finest buildings.
In 1996, the real estate and property management departments of the Edmund J. Flynn Company branched off to form a separate company. Choosing to honor this connection, the new business became EJF Real Estate Services. The lasting legacy of real estate expertise, personalized service, and ethical business practices lives on today through the hard work of EJF's dedicated team.
