The US Capitol in Washington, DC
Maryland · DC · Virginia · Oregon · USA

Your foothold in
the United States.

Own income-producing property in the DMV (Maryland, DC, Virginia) and Portland, Oregon — two of the largest Ethiopian communities in America. A licensed local agent guides you in your language, start to finish.

Why the US

A US foothold,
among your own people.

A USD asset

Diversify beyond Addis and Dubai with a stable, dollar-denominated asset in the world’s largest economy.

Appreciation & rent

DMV home values have climbed for a decade, with rents underpinned by federal jobs and a steady stream of new arrivals.

Home to your community

The DC metro and Portland, Oregon are two of the largest Ethiopian communities in America — Silver Spring, Alexandria, Portland and beyond. Built-in demand, familiar faces.

Buy to rent or live

Tap US financing and first-time-buyer assistance (Maryland MMP, DC Open Doors, Virginia DHCD) that most newcomers never claim.

build wealth here.

Renovate & resell

How it works

We’re your bridge,
not a broker.

HagerBet connects you with a trusted, licensed Habesha real estate agent in the DMV — someone who speaks Amharic, Tigrinya or Afaan Oromoo and knows the community inside out.

You get a free consultation, a clear plan, and a guide through every step — offer, US financing and assistance programs, inspection, and closing.

HagerBet is a referral and advisory service, not a licensed real estate brokerage in the United States. Your transaction is handled by an independent, licensed local agent.
