We are often asked, "How much do houses cost around here?"

Now you can find out!! We'll do the driving--you do the looking. From the height of your trolley seat, you'll have unobstructed views of the homes and get a feel for the neighborhoods they're in.

Join realtor and Annapolis native Ellis Richman on a one-hour tour of historic homes for sale in the Historic District. We'll drive by homes on the current Multiple Listing System while Ellis describes the home's salient features, characteristics of the neighborhood, and the latest trends in residential real estate in the Historic District.

You'll leave the tour with a data sheet on the homes along the route, a map of Annapolis, and a birds-eye view of the residential real estate market in historic Annapolis.

Get the big picture from one of Annapolis' finest Certified Historic Home Specialist Realtors. Working with sellers and buyers since 1989, Ellis has joined Long & Foster Real Estate's brand-new office in Annapolis, and was formerly with Champion Realty. He is a top-producing Realtor in the nation, and he and his family are proud to live in Annapolis’ Historic District on Prince George Street, near the William Paca House & Garden.

FAQs --

Can we bring drinks and food on the tour?
Sure! Coffee, sandwiches and pastries are available across the street in Hard Bean. The nearby Market House has quick-to-go pastries, pretzels, pizza, crab cakes, fresh donuts, etc.

Where are the nearest bathrooms?
Restrooms are available in the Market House, the Harbormaster's building, HistoryQuest, and (if you purchase something) the several coffee houses.

Can I take pictures?
Yes, but we won't be long at each house; this is a drive-by tour. Remember to turn off your flash so it doesn't bounce off the windows (all you'd get is a picture of a flash). And color photos of the homes are always available on Ellis' website.

Are the seats cushioned, or are they those wooden slats?
Cushioned--and cushy!
