Clifford Cooper

I’m a full-time Property Manager and Real
Estate agent licensed and living in Washington, D.C. near The Wharf in SW with
more than 10 years of real estate and property management experience.












The Road to Real Estate







I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh
with a Bachelor’s of Science Degree and a Law Degree, and started working as
Director of Community Services for Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. In that
position, I oversaw the distribution of financial and technical assistance to
nonprofits that were operating Head Start Programs in their facilities. My
initial interest in real estate started shortly thereafter when interest rates
were at an all-time high and families and nonprofits were struggling to
purchase or refinance. As we provided technical assistance to nonprofit
organizations that had as their mission, delivering services to low income
families and/or providing affordable housing units, I began to take a keen
interest in making the process simpler for buyers and sellers. I left
government and stared working with nonprofits who owned land, wanted to develop
it into affordable housing and need assistance in managing their properties. I
also started teaching as an Adjunct Professor at the University of the District
of Columbia, where I taught Leasing for Property Management to college
students.
