A Family Business From a Military Family
Memorable Home Buyers is family owned. My dad served in Vietnam, and my brothers and uncles served too. They are part of this business now, and we were raised the same way: tell people the truth and do what you said you would.
Malachi Cooper, founder
An Older Suburb, Still Filling In Around the Edges
Fort Washington stayed mostly rural until around 1960, when the area between the Potomac River and Indian Head Highway filled in fast. Neighborhoods like Oaklawn, Brooke Manor, Silesia and Broadwater Estates, Fort Foote Village, Palmer's Corner, and Chapel Hill all trace back to that same building boom, and it shows in the numbers: about 45 percent of 20744's roughly 20,865 housing units were built in the 1960s or 1970s.
Development never fully stopped, though. Newer homes have been added into small infill developments next to the older streets ever since, which is part of why the typical 20744 house dates to 1977 while the ZIP code as a whole spans everything from that postwar wave to recent construction.
About 80 percent of the housing here is detached, the highest share of any Prince George's County ZIP code we currently cover, with Colonials making up most of it alongside ramblers and split-levels.
What Actually Prompts a Sale Here
A listing that will not close through a lender
Fort Washington has the highest vacancy rate of any Prince George's County ZIP code we currently cover, and a large share of those empty homes are ones actively on the market rather than occupied. On a house from the sixties or seventies, an appraisal or inspection often flags original wiring or old waste lines, the financing falls apart, and the house sits. We are not borrowing to buy it, so none of that ends our purchase.
A landlord who is done managing tenants
Close to 18 percent of occupied homes in 20744 are rented, and there is more small multifamily housing mixed into this ZIP code than most others we cover. Owners who inherited a rental or bought one years ago and are tired of the calls sell to us with the tenant still in place.
A parent's house from the original building boom
A lot of what we buy in Oaklawn, Brooke Manor, and the surrounding streets was bought new by the same family in the sixties or seventies and never sold since. When that owner passes or moves to assisted living, the house often needs more updating than the family has time or money to do before listing it.
A house near the park that will not show like new construction
Fort Washington Park and the land around the river limit how much new construction gets built nearby, which means older homes here are competing against each other on condition rather than against fresh comparable sales. That can make an outdated house a hard sell at retail even when the location itself is a draw.
A foreclosure sale date
Prince George's County cases are filed with the Circuit Court in Upper Marlboro. Selling ahead of the date is one route. If keeping the house is what you want, begin with your servicer and a free HUD-approved housing counselor, and read the Maryland foreclosure guide.

Do the Arithmetic Before You Decide
Our number comes in below a retail list price. On a house that has already been sitting vacant while it fails to sell through a lender, that gap mostly disappears, because there is no financing left to fall through.
What deserves comparing is our offer against what actually reaches you. On a $439,400 Fort Washington sale, a six percent commission runs about $26,400 before a dollar of repairs. Add whatever an appraiser flags on a fifty year old rambler or split-level, and add every month of taxes, insurance, and a mortgage payment while the house sits waiting on a buyer who can get financed.
If the house is updated and has not struggled to sell, an agent will likely do better for you. We would rather say so on the call than after you have signed anything.
Our Promise to You
What You Can Hold Us To When You Sell
We are a family business in Parkville, and we buy houses in the same counties where we live and shop. If we treat a seller badly, we will hear about it from people we know. These are the four things we promise on every house.
The number holds
The offer we agree on is the number on your settlement statement, as long as the house matches what you told us on the phone. If the walkthrough shows something big that never came up, we show you exactly what changed before anything moves forward.
A contract you can read
Our purchase agreement is written in plain English. Take it home, show it to family or an attorney, and ask us about any line before you sign.
You pick the date
Tell us the closing date you need on the first call. If we cannot make it, we say so then, before you have committed to anything.
The truth, even if we lose the deal
If your house would sell for more with an agent, we will tell you. Some people do not need a cash buyer, and we would rather you hear that from us.
