Hello. My name is Paul Smith and as a long term resident and homeowner in Montgomery County, I have seen firsthand the incredible changes in the Montgomery County Real Estate market - from the once non-existent Kentlands and Lakelands neighborhoods to the redevelopment of downtown Silver Spring to the emergence of the Clarksburg area to the opening of the new ICC Route 200. 

I am very familiar with the local market and area, having raised my three children here all of whom attended Montgomery County Public Schools. Some folks might recognize me as I used to own and operate a small business here in the area called Bagel Capitol in the Kentlands portion of Gaithersburg. I am actively involved in several of the local area Chambers of Commerce and have been for many years. I have very strong relationships with area businesses and professionals in The metro DC area to help make every aspect of your buying or selling transaction, or your move, much more simple.

As part of The Abrams Group Team at RLAH, I work tirelessly to make our clients’ real estate transactions a smooth and pleasant experience.

If you are new the area, WELCOME! There is much to do and explore and enjoy in the DC area. Let me and The Abrams Group team of RLAH help find you the home to call your own. 

If you are a local resident, looking to sell your existing home to upsize or downsize, RELAX! We can market your current property appropriately or help you find that new home for your increased or decreased family.

Your needs are our concerns!

As your neighborhood magazine, we’re dedicated to building relationships, supporting local businesses, and creating a sense of pride for everyone who calls our community home. Whether you’re a resident, advertiser, or simply a fan of great storytelling, we’re proud to share this journey with you.
