SOMEONE YOU CAN TRUST

Welcome! I'm excited to have you here and share more about myself. This page provides insight into my background, experiences, and the expertise I bring to the fields of urban planning, design, real estate, and community engagement.

​

When it comes to urban planning, design, real estate, and community engagement, The IMD Group, founded by Bridget Obikoya, is your go-to resource.

With an extensive background in the industry, The IMD Group offers comprehensive services that cater to all sides of the property equation. From land acquisition to new construction, buying and selling homes, I have developed a deep understanding of the intricacies involved. My goal is to match clients with the right properties and connect them with the right people, ensuring a seamless and successful experience whether you're looking to buy, sell, rent, or invest.

​

Volunteering and teaching urban planning concepts are passions close to my heart. I strongly believe in giving back to the community and empowering others through education. I actively volunteer my time and skills with local organizations focused on community development, urban revitalization, and social equity. Additionally, I find great joy in teaching and sharing my knowledge of urban planning concepts with others. Through workshops, lectures, and community engagement initiatives, I aim to inspire individuals to become active participants in shaping their own neighborhoods and cities.

​

Through this platform, I aim to provide valuable resources, insights, and thought-provoking discussions on urban planning, design, real estate, and community engagement.

The Missing Middle

Escalating home prices have shut middle-class buyers out of Arlington's real estate market. Is there a solution?

Bridget Obikoya knows how hard it can be to buy a house—any house—in Arlington on a middle-class salary. “Public servants don’t make a lot of money,” says Obikoya, who handles parking and site plan reviews as a design engineer for Arlington County. “I can tell you the opportunity to buy a house in Arlington is almost nonexistent.”

Almost. She lucked out in 2015 while looking at homes with her mother in Green Valley.

​

“A house was being sold for $490,000,” she recalls, “and I asked the owner about her side yard. She said, ‘That’s not my yard. That’s an empty lot.’ ”

Obikoya found the lot’s owner, called him and made an offer on the narrow property, which he accepted after a second phone call.

​

Today, she’s serving as project manager on the construction of a 15-foot-wide shotgun-style home, which she designed herself with help from her architect sister and others.
