History
EVOLV Residential, LLC, sister company of Fraser Forbes Real Estate Services (founded 1995) and S&W Investments (founded 2008), was established in 2022 with one laser-focused goal: to be the leading build-to-rent (BTR) company in the Washington, DC MSA.
Formed by senior real estate professionals with over 100 years of combined experience, EVOLV Residential acquires newly-constructed homes which eliminates four areas of risk associated with many sponsors: land acquisition, land entitlement, land development, and home construction. Additionally, EVOLV Residential secures comprehensive warranties and HOA coverage.
Since its founding in 2022, EVOLV Residential has evaluated dozens of opportunities and well over 2,000 lots comprised of both attached and detached product in both fee simple and condominium regimes. Most importantly, the majority of these acquisition prospects are off-market and sole-sourced, where we are directly negotiating with the sellers.
Why does EVOLV Residential have such powerful and unparalleled access to the market?
The 30+ years of relationships and deal making with the DMV’s top national and regional homebuilders, land developers, civil engineers, public officials, and bankers, all of whom look to EVOLV Residential as a trusted partner and purchaser.
Our first project, Scotland Heights, is emblematic of how our relationships yielded opportunities. Fraser Forbes was the broker of record when Dream Finders Homes purchased the remaining 263 lots of a 449-unit community from Palisades Development. EVOLV then acquired 74 of those townhomes, creating one of the first build-to-rent communities in the Washington, DC metro area.
