Guess who bought JD Vance's house outside DC for over asking price? A former Trump official.

• Vice President JD Vance sold a Washington, DC-area home for over asking price in less than three weeks.
• Its buyer worked for the last Trump administration and benefits from government contracts.
• A rep for the buyer has said he and Vance had no direct communication during the transaction.

JD Vance sold his home just outside Washington, DC, for $1.87 million after less than three weeks on the market, according to property records.

The buyer is a former deputy director under Trump's first administration who now works as a government contractor — and paid $172,000 over asking price.

Christopher Garcia manages a domestic limited liability company registered in Nevada that purchased Vance's home in Alexandria, Virginia, a Washington, DC, suburb about eight miles from the nation's capital.

Garcia was the national deputy director of the US Department of Commerce from 2017 to 2018, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Garcia — who still owns other property in Washington, DC, records show — is currently listed as president and CEO of Health Supply US, a government-contracted manufacturer and distributor of medical devices, personal protective equipment, and consumables.

According to government spending data, Health Supply US received nearly $179 million in government contracts between 2020 and 2021.

A spokesperson for Garcia confirmed to Forbes that Garcia was behind the purchase and that the sale price was based on the market. The spokesperson also told Forbes that Garcia and the seller had no relationship and no direct communication. Garcia did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.

The history of JD Vance's house in Alexandria

Vance and his wife, Usha, bought the Alexandria house in 2023 for $1.64 million.

The couple made $228,025 more than they paid on the sale, but it's unclear whether they spent any money on renovations or upgrades that would cut into their profit.

The five-bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom, farmhouse-style home hit the market on February 27 listed at $1.69 million, according to its Redfin listing. The sale officially closed on March 17, just 18 days later.

Real-estate agent Justin Tanner of ReMax Allegiance, who represented the buyer, told Business Insider that he heard there were nine offers on the home.

Robert Crawford and Tyler Jeffrey of TTR Sotheby's International Realty listed the property. Crawford and Jeffrey did not respond to a request for comment.

Vance will spend most of his time in the official home of the vice president, which is on the grounds of the Naval Observatory.

Property records show, however, that Vance still owns a home in Washington, DC. In 2014, Vance and his wife purchased a DC townhome for $590,000 in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, within walking distance of the National Mall.

According to Redfin, the house was listed for rent in October 2023 for $3,700 a month.

In 2024, the Vances' renter at the time told the Washington Post that she planned to stay there for a while and that her landlords were responsive.

"I love this house. I love this block. I want to be here for a long time," she said. "So I want to be a good tenant. And I have great landlords — Usha's great."
