I loved that they were small and local. But the Chevy Chase Bank I know and love went under in 2008. Capitol One bought them with bail out money and they just haven't switched customers out of the Chevy Chase brand yet. Last year at the Washington St branch they told me it would be early 2010 that the Chevy Chase brand would disappear and everyone would formally be Capitol One customers. I cringe. Capitol One is the scumiest of scumbag banks. They wrote the book on predatory lending. They are on the Walmart level of what is wrong with the world. I hate that I am their customer and was waiting for the brand switch over to find a new bank, but your post has relit the fire with my deceased friend Chevy Chase bank. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/12/03/AR2008120302809.html I have been with chevy chase for a very very happy 10 years as well.

Crazy but rewarding process this addition business. The different perspectives can indeed make for a better result. Certainly did in our case. Next up in this series I plan to hit on one of them, the architect view. Fire away with any other viewpoints that folks should think about from the resale perspective. Something we didn't explicitly consider but perhaps should have. Thanks for the tip. Crazy but rewarding process this addition business.
