Washington Apartment Outlook

We’re excited to announce that this year’s returning WAO program will be an enhanced venue including a formal three-course lunch at the Bellevue Hyatt Regency at Bellevue Place and an after-event reception upstairs at Daniels Broiler.

This is one of our annual Signature Events for WMFHA and a great opportunity to learn about the latest in real estate from our local experts. Additionally we offer updates on Government Affairs and how your local apartment association is addressing issues and bills that affect the real estate industry, owners and managers, at the government level.
