Condo 1, Inc. was founded in 1993 by real estate agents who believed that condominium owners were being woefully served by the real estate community in general. With the vast majority of agents concentrating on single-family homes, tens of thousands of condominium owners seemed to be getting a distinctly inferior level of service. Beginning from a small office in the Port Royal Condominium in Old Town Alexandria under the tutelage of John W. Walker (Walker Real Estate), agents who specialized in the luxury high-rise buildings of Rosslyn (e.g., The Atrium and The Belvedere) formed a new corporation whose name highlighted their specialty. In just sixteen years Condo 1 has built a strong following among condominium owners in Arlington, Alexandria, Falls Church, and other areas of Northern Virginia. We also have become the most active real estate brokerage firm in several townhouse communities. In addition, our property management division has grown from managing individual units to small commercial projects.

Thomas K. Meyer - President and Founder of Condo 1, is a licensed real estate broker who has specialized in condominium and townhouse properties since 1988. In 1991, he started what was to become our property management division. Mr. Meyer studied at the Universität Heidelberg (Germany) and holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from the University of Illinois and an MBA from the American Graduate School of International Management (Thunderbird Campus) in Glendale, Arizona. He is fluent in French and German. He currently resides in Arlington, Virginia. Son Zachary and daughter Alexandra attend Virginia Tech and James Madison University respectively. Mr. Meyer is a member and past Chairman of the Northern Virginia Association of Realtors Political Action Committee and now serves on the same committee for the entire State of Virginia. In his spare time he travels, plays tennis, writes bad science fiction stories that no one will publish and has done Zero-G cosmonaut training in Russia. He is currently trying to be one of the first private citizens to perform a suborbital flight, which worries his life insurance agent tremendously.

Alexandra Earnshaw is the newest member of Condo 1, joining in June 2009. Alexandra recently graduated from the Kenan Flagler Business School at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a degree in Business Administration, specializing in Finance and Marketing. While at the University, she was a member of Sigma Alpha Lambda Honors Fraternity, and Alpha Chi Omega Panhellenic Sorority. As a North Carolina native, Alexandra got her North Carolina Real Estate license while in school, and got her Virginia Real Estate license upon moving to the area. While doing a summer internship with a distinguished real estate broker in Chapel Hill, Alexandra fell in love with the real estate profession. With her desire to venture out of North Carolina and move to a big city, DC and Northern Virginia became the perfect fit. As a Tarheel born and bred, Alexandra is a die-hard fan of Carolina Basketball. She said the best experience while in college was rushing the famous Franklin Street after winning the National Championship earlier this year as a senior.
