Ever daydream about trading suburbia for a farm… or owning an out-of-state Airbnb?
On this episode of Real Estate Junkies DMV, we’re chatting with Courtney Jordan and Lucia Tirondola, our friends who took a leap of faith, followed their intuition, and turned big dreams into real estate reality. From bold decisions to unexpected lessons, they’re sharing what it really takes to step outside your comfort zone and create a life (and portfolio) you love. If you’ve ever wondered “what if?”—this episode is for you.

Meet Lucia Tirondola, the powerhouse behind the operations, marketing, and heart of Manor Works Painting. As our COO, Lucia keeps every detail moving — from schedules and systems to customer experience, team culture, and community outreach.

Lucia is the definition of organized, energetic, and purpose-driven. She’s always thinking ahead, creating better processes, building strong relationships, and making sure every client feels cared for from the first phone call to the final walk-through.She’s also a passionate advocate for giving back. Through her leadership, Manor Works continues to support local families, and she plays a key role in advancing The Mishi Haus Foundation, helping those in need find safe housing and new beginnings.

When she’s not running the show at Manor Works, you’ll find her cheering on her boys at football, managing Tail Race Farm camps, dreaming up new community projects, or enjoying time with family and her animals.
