For Dreams Well Lived
A boutique real estate experience designed for the life you’re building.
Washington, DC ✧ Northern Virginia ✧ Maryland ✧ New Hampshire
Not a fantasy. Not a whim. A vision.
At Reverie Residential, we see dreams differently.
Real estate isn’t just about buying, selling, or renting a home. It’s about building the life you imagine with strategy, artistry, and intention.
Our Two Markets
Reverie Residential was founded in 2011 in Washington, DC, where our managing broker, Lindsay Dreyer, built a team of smart, strategic, and design-savvy real estate professionals serving the vibrant neighborhoods and suburbs of the DC area. When Lindsay and her family decided to pursue their own dream of life in New Hampshire, Reverie expanded with her.
Today, our dual presence reflects our belief that real estate is more than a transaction; it’s about designing a life you love, wherever that may be.
Our Services
We offer tailored support for buyers, sellers, renters, and relocations. Always with a thoughtful approach that puts your goals first.
-
We start with your life, not a list. We listen for what you’re really hoping to build, then guide you throughout the process. Reading the market, removing guesswork, and crafting offers that win without regret. We carry the complexity so you can stay present, moving from daydream to doorstep with clarity and confidence.
-
We tell the story your home deserves. Thoughtful positioning, data-driven pricing, and design-forward presentation meet steady, skilled negotiation—so attention turns into offers and offers into outcomes you feel good about. You keep your time and peace of mind; we protect your equity and handle the moving parts.
-
Whether you need to find a tenant or you’re searching for the perfect place to land, we can help. Owners get confident pricing, polished presentation, careful screening, and clean paperwork. Renters get clear options, fair terms, and a smooth path to move-in.
-
New chapter, clear plan—whether you’re arriving or heading out. We provide boots-on-the-ground help in our markets and tap a trusted national network everywhere else, pairing neighborhood fit with coordinated logistics, virtual or in-person showings, and a clean handoff to pros in your next city.
The Reverie Blueprint
The Reverie Blueprint is how the imagined becomes reality. We listen to your dreams for the life you want to build, turn them into a step-by-step plan, and orchestrate every detail with creative strategy and local expertise, so buying and selling a home feels less like logistics and more like momentum.
Bridging the gap between what if and what’s next.
Curating your dream lifestyle takes both creative vision and strategic thinking. We blend both, bringing intention to every step of the buying and selling process.
Real relationships, not transaction management.
We’re here for the humans, not just the homes. Your story, fears, and dreams guide everything we do.
Not just an address change. A life transformation.
Your next home is the backdrop for your next chapter in life. And we’re here to help orchestrate a seamless and natural transition.
Neighborhood experts who live the local lifestyle.
Deep neighborhood specialization that creates unmatched community insight and access.
Because at Reverie Residential, we don’t just believe in your dream.
