We worked with Mark Hudson. He's been excellent! (One down and one to go). He worked with our renters to take photos of the condo, worked with the other agent and the Title company (WHICH WAS AWFUL by the way) and dealt with all the issues. He responds extremely quickly to questions and emails. He's thorough and thoughtful. Couldn't recommend him more. Thank you!
Testimonials
"We decided to hire JaneEllen when we saw another house around the corner for sale about one year before we wanted to put our house on the market. She came over, went through our house, and gave us wonderful tips on what we needed to do to maximize our sale price. She returned multiple times during the 10 months we worked with her to get our house ready for sale. Her tips were right on target and we ended up selling our home for more than anticipated, due in large part to the suggestions she made for repairs, painting etc. JaneEllen is thorough and thoughtful and easy to work with. We would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to sell or buy."
- Dominique P."As first-time homebuyers, we were completely new to the experience, and Wendy was excellent in making us feel comfortable, confident, and informed during every step of the process. From being responsive to our many random questions, to local market knowledge, and attention to detail, we knew we were in great hands with her. Wendy's ability to represent us in negotiations and interactions with other parties was truly remarkable. Her professionalism and communication skills were crucial in securing the best possible outcomes for us in this challenging market. We could not recommend her enough!"
- Hamed G. & Setareh S."Marilyn is the absolute best in every way. She goes way above and beyond. She was always available when needed to answer questions, or provide the best professional advice. No question was too trivial. Marilyn was supportive and kept the transactions and process moving, but in a kind and compassionate way. She thought of extra things, beyond the actual house hunting and closing, that provided direction to other resources that made the whole process great! I can't imagine working with another realtor."
- Becki P."Lauren was fantastic!"
- Bryan S."Lauren was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and effective. Exceeded expectations at every step of the process."
- Kelsey S."Wendy is a top-notch realtor who does a fabulous job. She goes that extra mile—above and beyond in her job—to make sure your home is ready to sell and presented well. It was a seamless sale thanks to all her hard work."
- Kathy A."Exceptional. Quick responses and available almost always. Wish we could have solely worked with McEnearney Associates. There seemed to be a good bit of 3rd party entities involved from the seller’s side. Overall, no complaints with McEnearney and will be recommending them in the future."
- Megan P."This was a difficult transaction to get accross the line due to financing considerations specific to the Condo Association. We made a gameplan with Wendy upfront and she executed it perfectly with a high level of professionalism. We were out of town sellers and she made it easy on us with regular communications and updates on the process. We are thrilled with the outcome and would 100% recommend Wendy, she was great to work with and very good at what she does."
- Chris S."Absolutely stellar agent
Melissa is professional, funny, and honestly a Godsend. I felt like we had someone in our corner the entire time during our first home-buying experience. She was able to work with us and our crazy scheduling, willing and able to meet us to view each home on our ever-growing list. We never felt rushed into a decision. Melissa’s expertise is showcased in her knowledge of the market. She wasn’t afraid to speak up when something with a house or listing didn’t seem right."
"Jean is terrific. No matter what my wife and I reached out to her for - or when - she would respond immediately with great insight. It always felt as though we were the most important thing on her agenda whenever we interacted with her. She helped us find the
perfect new home and also was our listing agent for the sale of our former home...which was sold in one day, at $200K over ask!
Thank you Jean!!"
"Service from Lisa Smith was Outstanding, again.. She has so much experience, walked me through every step of the way and sent me reminders of things I should take care of. I didn’t even have to fly back for showings or the closing, which saved me money, and her fee was worth every penny. She didn’t miss a thing and was always a step ahead of the Buyer and settlement agents. She was available at all hours if I panicked, she checked on me to make sure that everything went smoothly. I trust her completely.
Lisa assisted me on using a notary and her experience with the different options. I opted to have a notary come to my house in
another state and it went as smoothly as could be, she wasn’t even here 30 minutes. Lisa also assisted me in finding contractors for necessary work on the house and met with them for me! Top notch experience all the way around."
"Lisa is that rare form of a professional who can lead with confidence, provide exemplary service and at the same time be a joy to work with. She was top notch with preparation, and her knowledge of the market was impressive. No detail was overlooked as she went above and beyond to make the sale of our home a worry free experience. An outstanding realtor, Lisa is also a kind person with a generous heart who is invested in the community."

- Meaghan R."Amazing! Karen is the best, working with her is great and she made the process so easy for me along with getting the sale done
quicker than I thought possible!"
"McEnearney Associates, specifically the Jean Beatty Group, provided us with unbelievable service. Whenever my wife or I would call Jean, she was always available and made us feel as though we were the most important matter on her plate (even though we know she is busy with many clients). Jean helped us find the perfect home, and also helped us sell our home - IN ONE DAY AND AT WELL OVER OUR ASKING PRICE! The entire team was a joy to deal with and made the entire process smooth and simple. Thank you!!"

- Mohamed M."Ann was always present and supported us throughout the whole process. With Ann’s assistance we didn’t even feel the stress of buying a house despite the crazy market out there. Ann was available all the time and was truly and sincerely interested in us getting the best option we could (considering our current limited possibilities). She was “on our side” and acted out of our interests from the very beginning up to the closing date. Looking forward to buying our next house with Ann :D"

- Roger M."As a first-time home seller, I don't know what I expected a real estate agent to do, but I know that Jillian surpassed any and every hope I might have had -- part real estate expert, part general contractor, part therapist, and part friend. She and her team all put in way more work than I ever would have expected.
Our first meeting with Jillian was almost a year before we were going to put our home on the market. She used that time to help us get our home in the best possible condition. She told us what to spend money on, and more importantly she told us what we shouldn't spend money on."
- Juliet G."Christine is absolutely awesome!!! I love her! She's amazing! I am so grateful for her! I am totally grateful for her and all the work she did. She's always fast to reply and kept me in check when I would forget stuff. She's so helpful."
- James M. T."Excellent professional service. Sarah went above and beyond. She provided very helpful guidance on pricing."
- Rick R."Kate Crawley was great! She is experienced in this neighborhood and knew everything that had to be done to make my condo show well. She held two open houses and had the condo on the market for six days. She got five offers for the apartment and the best one just closed yesterday. Kate made my apartment look large, well designed and stylish, and in the marketing materials described all the great things about the condo development, from the beautiful views to the swimming pools, exercise facility and convenient location. I have never sold a home before and Kate walked me through the procedures and the paperwork and explained how everything worked. I highly recommend her."
- Martha C."Sallie went above and beyond. She was timely and responsive, and proactive in her communications."
- Amanda P."Amazing, completely on top of everything. Was able to make closing really smooth."

From the initial consultation to the final closing, Wendy’s level of expertise, dedication, and professionalism met and exceeded our expectations. Her strategic approach resulted in a swift and successful sale. She guided us through every step of the process with confidence and ease, providing invaluable advice and support along the way. Wendy’s clear communication and prompt responses to our questions/concerns made the entire experience stress-free (as much as it can be!). We wholeheartedly recommend Wendy to anyone looking for a top-tier real estate agent."
- Anne & Jeff A."We received excellent service from our agent, Adrianna and the Jen Walker Team. They were all extremely friendly, knowledgeable and responsive. Adrianna was also very strategic and worked hard to ensure we had a competitive offer that was accepted. We were able to find and close on our home within less than a month, which we could not have done without the help of our Adrianna, the Jen Walker Team and McEnearney Associates, Inc. We are first time home buyers, so we could not be more grateful to have been in such good hands!"
- Jessica P."Adrianna was exceptional. She put us at ease immediately and made a difficult task fun. She's incredibly knowledgeable and an incredible listener. She has a talent to listen and to interact enough to find out exactly what we wanted. Her energy is never ending. We purchased a wonderful home that, we're convinced, we wouldn't have found without her. Her professionalism and warmth are a very special combination. We can say enough about how wonderful Adrianna was during the process. This is a very tough market. She was so patient and confident that we'd find the right house - even when we weren't. She is truly a gift."
- Beth O."Joe was fantastic and so willing to help us find a quality rental.Joe really knows what he’s doing and went above and beyond to ensure we found the right place to rent. His attention to detail was always on point."

I am so thankful to have had Rocky as my agent. He went above and beyond during a very challenging purchase. I could always call him with questions about the house, purchase, area, work that needs to be done, etc. I would definitely use Rocky as my agent for another purchase in the area and recommend him strongly to friends and family."
"Joy to work with.
We are so thankful that we found Rocky while we were searching for our new home. While we knew we wanted a place in the country, we didn’t realize how many unique considerations come with that sort of property, but Rocky did. He directed us to the best possible homes, and when we found the right one, he made sure everything was in order. From the home inspection, to land use regulations, to septic and well, Rocky dealt with everything that came up. He was thorough, responsive to us, and readily available.

Rocky is a pleasure to work with. He is honest, straight forward and knowledgeable of the local real estate market. He is helpful and suggested good ideas for improvements to make our property sell and ideas for dealing with contract issues. He successfully marketed our property and we got the price we wanted. He skillfully managed the closing process resulting in a smooth transaction and a satisfied buyer and seller."
"Rocky found us the perfect house.
Rocky found us the perfect house … he listened to what we wanted and worked to find the house that fit us. We love our new location and the layout of the house…. It has everything we needed and wanted. Rocky also helped us decide sell the condo where we had lived for 8 years. He provided all the latest reviews and comparable recent listings/sales in our vicinity … resulting in a profitable sale of our condo."
"First-time home buyer.
I had met Rocky while looking at my first house, and from there he became a great asset in getting me settled into Virginia as I was coming from Florida. He provided great findings and was always responsive about properties that I sent him from my own searching. The greatest tool Rocky brings to the table is his knowledge of the home buying process and getting it settled quickly, with proper negotiation. With use of his contacts, he was able to recommend me to solid partners which I was very pleased with for mortgage and title as well. He’s a pretty great guy too."
"Highly likely to recommend.
Rocky is the best realtor out there. His professional ethics are above board. He has a excellent knowledge of the properties and with his mortgage banking experience he can guide you to the best financing for your new home. I’ve worked with Rocky for 15 years now and trust him completely."
- Susan M."Under contract within 24 hours!
Rocky sold our house as well as helped us purchase a new home. He was excellent in helping us through the entire process. He told us exactly what we needed to do in order to get the best value for our home, and because of this we were under contract within 24 hours!! His vast financial background/knowledge came in very handy when going through the process of purchasing a home making it a lot less stressful. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Rocky and would HIGHLY recommend him!"
"Would definitely work with Rocky again!
My wife and I worked with Rocky to buy our new home (absolutely awesome, we love it) and sell our old home. His level of knowledge of the markets in western loudoun was very beneficial for informing our decision to buy our new house. Rocky also did a great job of walking us through the buying and selling process and keeping us updated as things were progressing. We would definitely work with Rocky again, but likely won’t be moving from our wonderful new home!"
"We have used Rocky for more than a decade of real estate transactions. First as our mortgage broker, now as our real estate agent. We would not consider any one else as our agent. Rocky is responsive and has an in-depth knowledge of the region. As a buying agent he was able to keep the entire process on track and get us through a smooth purchase. As our selling agent his background in the mortgage industry was key to helping us review the multiple offers we received to make sure we made the right decision. On both sides of the table his experience made the process as painless as possible for a real estate transaction. Rocky is easy to work with, understands the market, provides his deep knowledge, and will be our agent again whenever we do another transaction. Highly recommend Rocky."
- Anonymous"Our house sold for top dollar.
Rocky was extraordinary with his calm manner and helpfulness in getting our house sold for top dollar. He suggested many important upgrades that positioned our home as the leader within it’s price range. Our home was priced well in a fast market and we had a contract within days of putting it on the market. Highly recommended!"
"Rocky is the Man!
Rocky is the Man! He made our “first-time homeowner” experience go so smoothly and genuinely had our best interest at heart! We will definitely hunt him down again for anymore future purchases!!"
"Helped us find the perfect house.
Rocky helped my wife and I buy our first home. He quickly got to know us and helped us find the perfect house for us. He was kind, and professional, and showed that had our best interest in mind. We were a little nervous about the whole process but he made the whole process fun and treated us like friends. I highly recommend him! It was a pleasure and a privilege to work with him."
"Loyal, hard-working, dedicated & knowledgeable.
I had a great time working with Rocky. He went above and beyond the duties of a realtor. Showed me endless numbers of homes. Pointed out the good and the bad. Set up my home inspection, and financing, and answered my endless amounts of questions. Thoroughly and timely. Definitely would use again!"
- Becky"We had the pleasure of working with Janet on the sale of a home we designed, built, and cherished. Janet’s marketing was phenomenal and exceeded all expectations. We had a quick offer and she ushered us through the home sale process with ease. It was a real milestone for us as a family and we consider it a privilege to have shared this experience with such a dedicated professional. "
- E.B."Renneye Pike provided extraordinary help to us in buying a condo in McLean. She knows everything about the McLean real estate
market so we greatly appreciated her experience, observations, and suggestions. She successfully helped us through all of the
detailed buying negotiations. When we asked for suggestions for a home inspector, she connected us with two highly qualified
experts which we interviewed and chose one. She thoughtfully explained all of the closing costs and connected us to a wonderful
closing firm. We have known Renneye for over a decade, and we can vouch for her highest ethical standards. We cannot be more
pleased with everything she did for us. McEnearney is lucky to have Renneye Pike. We love everything that Renneye Pike has done for us."
"Martha went above and beyond during some trying issues. She was so professional and reassuring during the entire process."
- Robert P."I recently had the pleasure of working with Rachel O. as my realtor, and I am beyond impressed with her professionalism and dedication. Rachel's responsiveness and readiness to tackle any question or concern were remarkable. Her commitment to transparency and trustworthiness was evident in every interaction, creating a foundation of confidence that is crucial in such a significant transaction. Communication with Rachel was seamless, and her proactive approach in understanding our interests and needs set her apart. Regular meetings kept us on track, and her willingness to promptly address any questions outside of these sessions demonstrated her genuine dedication. A standout moment showcased Rachel's unwavering commitment. When faced with a challenging situation with the mortgage bank, she worked tirelessly, even late at night, treating our predicament as if it were her own. Thanks to her tenacity, we successfully resolved the issue, ensuring a smooth settlement on our planned day. If you seek a professional who exceeds expectations, Rachel O. is the one for you. I wholeheartedly recommend her for a seamless and enjoyable real estate experience."
- Paul K."Fantastic service across the board. Responsive, timely, and personable communication throughout the entire process. Very helpful
and supportive contractor coordination during and post sale. Agent worked diligently with great attention to detail. I have never
received this level of service before during any real estate transaction. A fantastic experience."
"Chris was great and invested time both in getting to know what we wanted. I was particularly impressed that he always showed up to all of our appointments well in advance so he could prepare - he walked them first so he knew what to point out to us when he walked it with us."
- Stuart F."Chris Carrigan did an excellent job finding our new home. He was always at the properties we toured early and did his homework - he knew who the previous owners or builders were, the stats on the home, things to look out for, market analysis, etc. He answered our questions and when he didn’t know the answer, he was honest and sought answers for us. We couldn’t have been happier with his service. Chris was attentive of our needs for a new home and respectful of our timeline to not rush into decisions. He was keen on finding the right homes to show us and by the third tour he nailed it!"
- Lizette F"Lauren was FABULOUS. She is incredibly responsive, organized, smart, professional, and super knowledgeable on the OTALX area, which was our target community. We have a high level of trust in Lauren, and relied on her advice and counsel throughout the process. We identified the property and placed an offer within days. Lauren is very networked in OTALX and seemed to have excellent working relationships with all the key players. She was super helpful in putting our winning bid together (there were two offers). In order to make the deal happen, we offered to close in 2 weeks! Lauren made that happen. She made the process completely seamless and stress free for us. She literally responded to every question we had (many which required follow up/research with the condo association) within hours. She was meticulous, handling every detail so we could cross the finish line on time. We always felt we were in good hands with Lauren; finding her was a God send! We highly recommend Lauren - cant say enough good things about her! The entire journey of buying this home was flawless. We had less exposure to McEnearney than Lauren herself - but assume the back office and support functions at McEnearney are excellent given how effective Lauren was.We just want to reiterate that we are very impressed and DELIGHTED with the service provided by Lauren Bishop. She is an excellent reflection on McEnearney's brand. You are lucky to have her!"
- Ana R."Absolutely terrific. Best agent experience we've ever had. Knowledgeable, sharp, responsive, connected, great to work with."

- Soojin C."Tracy was always on top of things, available and helped guide us through the process."
- Ray C."From start to finish, it was a pleasure to work with Rachel to purchase my first house. She was exceptionally professional throughout the whole home purchasing experience. When there was an issue with the closing process, she did her best to make it right. I felt like a priority and she did fix the problem. Also, she was a very thoughtful realtor in that she explained everything in easy words for me, an immigrant unfamiliar with the home-buying process here. She cares for her customers and builds relationships with them to find the best home and community for them. I would definitely recommend Rachel if my family or friends plan to purchase houses."
- Jaeyoung K."Katie has been the absolute best for all of our real estate needs over the past few years. She is professional, sharp, and very knowledgeable/up-to-date on current market trends. Above all, she has proven to be incredibly trustworthy, which has been crucial. Real estate decisions can be quite stressful, but we've had such peace of mind knowing Katie was there to guide us through these decisions and provide the most up-to-date information. We will always use Crouch Realty Group. They are simply the best!!"
- Jennifer B., military client"Chris is extremely knowledgeable and professional. He also makes a point of keeping everyone informed.

- Frank M."We had the pleasure of working with Kristin Trenum who went above and beyond to help us find our apartment. Not only she was knowledgeable and professional, but she was also genuinely kind and personable. Thanks"
"Miriam was a delight to work with. She communicated clearly, provided sage advise, and made everything easy. Her deep knowledge of her craft, unwavering energy, and positive attitude created the perfect environment, which netted the best possible outcome for our sale. Thank you Miriam!!!"
- Timothy Z."This sale simply never would have happened without JaneEllen Saums. I had been interviewing realtors for over 3 years, postponing any action because I simply did not trust that any of them had my best interests in mind at all let alone at heart. Then I met JaneEllen. I can't say enough about what a great experience this was as she turned this nasty business of clearing my deceased sibling's townhouse and putting it on the market resulted in a strong sale.
JaneEllen is not only an experience realtor, she listens to her clients. She brings information specific to property sales in the Commonwealth of Virginia to the fore, answering at least a thousand-and-one questions out-of-state sellers would have. Her assessment of the property's value, what large and small renovations should be considered, and the best time to list the property were all spot on. She recommended reliable contractors with feasible work timelines and payment options and acted a liaison with them while we were states away.
I was impressed with JaneEllen's patience with me from the first as it took me an extremely long time to be able to address the liquidation of the property's contents before addressing the property itself. She gently reached out from time to time. But months later when the high bidders, first-time home buyers, peppered us with request, JaneEllen's patience with their every request was remarkable. She professionally represented us as she informed them of what were reasonable requests we would address and which were out of the ordinary. We were a team where she executed our every request as discussed.
Lastly, JaneEllen is simply a wonderful person to partner with. Clearly this is her profession but I never once felt she was in this to line her own pockets. We worked together toward a mutual goal. It was not the experience I feared but one through which I grew.
I could not recommend JaneEllen more highly."
- Phyllis Dohanian"Rachel O found us our dream home! She is very flexible and was available to answer any questions or concerns we had throughout all times of the day. She’s a great realtor and we recommend her for anyone looking to purchase a home, especially if you are a first time home buyer!"
- Jolene P."We worked with Tom Natali from McEnearney, and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor!! My wife and I were first time home buyers, and he was very patient with all our questions and helped us understand our options and what we needed to look out for.
Tom was always quick to reply to us and excellent at advocating for us with the sellers, as well as keeping other members of our home-buying team on top of deadlines. He made what could have been a difficult and stressful process easy, and thanks to him we're moving into our dream home this weekend!!"
"Joan was Incredible. Helped us with every facet of the deal, she was very clear from the beginning Joan was not there to quickly sell us a house, but was committed to finding us a home we would truly be happy in for a long time to come.Joan was everything we hoped we would find in an agent. We were new to the area and Joan took the extensive time needed to take us to different neighborhoods and explain what she thought certain areas offered vs. others. We saw a lot of homes and truly feel like we ended up with our dream house, which, not to mention, was off-market and was only discovered because Joan put forth the enormous effort of finding us something in that specific area.
"
"Susan and Joe were absolutely the best team I could have selected to successfully sell my home. They were totally customer focused leading me through every step of the sale process from their marketing plan, staging, open house, and pricing for multiple offers. Their attention to every detail resulted in multiple offers after only several days of being on the market, and I accepted an offer above list and closed in two weeks. The bottom line for me was Susan and Joe followed through on everything promised and delivered more."

- Julia M."This was our second time working with Adrianna Vallario and once again, it was a great experience. I knew that we would be in the best hands with Adrianna by our side. She was truly exceptional throughout the entire selling process. Adrianna is impressive; she always makes you feel as if you are her number one focus. Also impressive is her level of data driven knowledge about the Alexandria and Arlington markets. Her responsiveness, promptness, knowledge of the market, strategic mindset, kindness, and good energy made a potentially chaotic selling process as stress-free as possible. My husband and I are so thankful for her and the entire Jen Walker Team!!"
- Tera W."Jamie Koppersmith is an amazing real estate agent and worked incredibly hard to help us close on our new condo in just 2 short months! We started looking after Thanksgiving and closed on 1/4 on our dream location with everything we wanted! Jamie was always easy to reach and eager to take us back for another look. So happy we went with McEnearney and Jamie!"

- Lisa G."Denise is a marketing industry specialist in all areas of mixed media marketing. A true professional that always ensures her clients receive a quality product."
- Peggy S."Denise is the consummate professional – a networker in the truest sense of the word.

Denise’s embodiment of the “pay it forward” attitude – both personally and professionally – is admirable to say the least!"
- Allyson C."Wendy is the best of the best! As a first-time homeowner, she guided me through the process with patience. She made the experience fun and led me to the right place. She made it painless and easy. Besides the perfect home for me, I was blessed with a sweet friend. Simply the BEST!"
- Shiela C."I can't say enough great things about Carlie. She went absolutely above and beyond and agent we've ever had. She was thorough, patient, and went out of her way to help us. We're moving from out of state and Carlie would do virtual tours for us. After closing on our house Carlie is still present and helping us get ready for our move. She was available on short notice when we came up to look at homes. She listened to what we wanted and helped us find a home we'd be happy in. I would recommend Carlie to anyone. We're beyond happy we were able to work with her."
- Thyrik L."Annette has provided the best and most thorough level of service of any real estate agent I have ever worked with. She was always available and able to move quickly on any issue. She gave us referrals for service people and educated us on the process. She showed the highest level of professionalism. She helped us both buy a new condo and sell our home."
- David A."Chris Hayes was extremely helpful, especially since I was selling a house as part of an estate and did not live in the area."
- Henriette W."The service was exceptional and I will definitely use them as my realtor again if needed. I almost walked away from the contract that I put down during the 3 day review of the homeowner's association documentation review. Erika worked really hard to clear up my concerns and I purchased the townhouse. I was very impressed by her tenacity"
- Stephanie H."Lisa was great. I let her know that I was not in a rush and that it might take a while to find my perfect house. She was very patient and understood my big needs and must haves.

She was devoted to our quest and kept us informed from the beginning to the end of our purchase, often going went out of her way to accommodate our busy schedules. We could not thank her enough.
Best of all I gained a friend"
- Melisa H."I would like to sincerely thank you for your help and gentle guidance in the sale of my Rotonda apartment and related bureaucratic steps ."
- P.P."Sometimes people come into your life at the moment you need them, and it feels like magic. Jeff Cann showed up like this for my husband and me. We came to discover that his usual M.O. is to appear, support people in finding wonderful living situations, and disappear into the mist (but only after everything is all squared away). Angel? Realtor? It's not clear. But Jeff is great at doing more than showing places -- he helps find people homes.
Love and gratitude,"
- Julia"My wife and I moved across the country, frantically and without a clue about the northern Virginia housing market. Jeff was kind, funny, and compassionate, and he sensed right away the kind of house that would be our home. He kept things light and kept us hopeful despite setbacks. He was patient with us about our intricate worries, and he eventually helped us get our new home, which we love. We are super grateful he was our realtor."
- Brooks"We absolutely love Lauren Bishop! We have worked with her previously, and would always work with her again!!"
- John W."Jouse is amazing. Call him and get him to be your partner."
- Giri J."Melissa sold my home and helped us purchase our new home. She was phenomenal through the whole process. She went above and beyond for the sale of my home, even sprucing up the landscaping when I was tied up! Melissa was exceedingly patient and not at all pushy through the course of searching for a new place. When she found us our dream home, she did everything she could to make sure it became ours. She is extremely knowledgeable and supportive at every stage, including meeting with contractors with me after the sale to translate and ask the right questions. She was very communicative, always answered our calls, and texted us right back. We're so grateful we worked with her and can't reccomend her enough! "
- Ursula Baraniewski"We had a great experience selling our condo with Melissa's expertise; she knows her stuff! She made reccomendations on what needed to be done to get the condo ready for sale and how to market the strong points. She helped with the staging which made all the difference in the world, and she has a fantastic eye for decorating! Melissa made the entire process easy and she had immeditate results for the sale. She is top notch and I would highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you! "
- Elizabeth W."Donna was wonderful. She was helpful, knowledgable, very responsive and, above all, just a lovely person."
- David J."Alex and Martine Irmer helped us to navigate the process of buying a home for the first time. Throughout our experience, they were professional, thorough, and knowledgeable. They welcomed questions and concerns, and made themselves available at all times. We truly felt cared for by this high-quality team. We feel so lucky to have met the Irmers. They made a stressful and intimidating process so much more enjoyable for us.
In particular, we were very impressed by the offer that Alex Irmer helped us put together. Our offer (dependent upon financing and appraisal) beat out an all-cash offer with no contingencies, and we believe it was in large part due to the way that Alex constructed and presented the offer.
We seldom write reviews but would highly recommend this team"
"We had a wonderful experience working with Jess Derr and Josh Beall at Atoka Properties. They helped us through the process of locating a commercial property for our business. Through all the ups and downs of our search, Jess and Josh were by our side every step of the way with support, patience, and kindness. They both gave freely of their time and expertise, and we simply cannot say enough how much we value them and what they have helped us to accomplish.
We highly recommend the Beall Team and Atoka Properties."
"We just bought a house in Alexandria. Donna Cramer was our realtor. Donna was wonderful! She was helpful, knowledgeable, very responsive and, above all, just a lovely person."

- Katherine W."."
- Tarek E."Sandy enabled me to take care of difficult departing tenants who caused a lot of damage during their
last three months in my property. She coordinated contractors to fix and repair everything, and turned
the property into such a pristine place that the father of one of my new tenants offered to purchase the
unit from me. Sandy did all of this while I was overseas on business travel, and used international
communications to keep me up to speed."

Heidi’s negotiation skills, attention to detail, and follow through made all the difference. If we ever sell, Heidi will be our go to."

- J. D."Our agent was fantastic and made up very comfortable during the process of purchasing our first home. Top level service all around. The service was fantastic and I would recommend Rachel to any friends looking for a home. She worked with our hectic schedule and traveled very far at times to look at homes with us. We knew we were not easier buyers but she was very patient and explained thoroughly all our concerns and questions. If she was ever unable to answer she was honest and got us an answer promptly.Most painless half a million dollar purchase we could make thanks to Rachel O."
- Michael C."I am so thankful to have Ann and Jennifer to facilitate the sale of the townhome. The process seemed so overwhelming to me, but
Ann was able to break down each step so it seemed manageable. When there was a question about the third bathroom at the
property, Ann went out of her way to find out the information we needed. She is knowledgeable, persistent, and thoughtful. I am
confident that we got the best price due to her savvy negotiations."
"We had a great experience with Mark — he was professional, attentive and never pressured us. He even watched our dog while we went out of town! When we’re ready, we’ll use him again."
- Lauren F"Mark assisted us in selling our Mom’s house following her passing. His expertise in handling Estate sales and knowledge of the Montgomery County market resulted in a stress-free and successful sale of the property. Mark was always professional and responded quickly to all of our communications."
- Mo B"Mark Hudson was very kind and professional. He is very well experienced in the field, and he really helped me out a lot."

- Murray G"My wife and I spoke with a number of realtors at the start of our homebuyer process, and we are so glad we went with Mark. From our very first meeting, we felt like he listened and understood our priorities for a home. He went above and beyond to help us as first-time homebuyers, walking us through the processes, giving his experienced advice, and answering our questions by text, phone, and email whenever we had one. Mark was a reassuring presence in a chaotic process, and we would recommend his services to anyone looking for their first or next home."
- Philip C"Mark has been an agent for our family on multiple occasions. He has always taken the time to understand what is important to us and explained each step of the process. In a world that has gotten way too impersonal, Mark really takes the time to give honest feedback and consistent service. He is never one to over promise and under deliver.
Thanks Mark"
"We worked with Mark on selling a condo. He's been excellent! (One down and one to go). He worked with our renters to take photos of the condo, worked with the other agent and the Title company (WHICH WAS AWFUL by the way) and dealt with all the issues. He responds extremely quickly to questions and emails. He's thorough and thoughtful. Couldn't recommend him more. Thank you!"
- Emily"Mark is a consummate professional. I hired him to list my house after interviewing him and seeing his comprehensive list of comps. His marketing and presentation of the house was solid, and I felt like I was in very competent hands. Thanks so much."
- Darin B"I worked with Mark several years ago to sell my house. Mark knows the market very well, and advised on what we should and should not do in preparation to sell. We were pleased with the outcome, so it was a no brainer to work with him again to sell and buy this time around. Mark is good at giving options for how to approach selling and buying, gives his honest feedback, and is dedicated to getting people into homes they'll love."
- Rose S"Mark is my go to real estate agent especially for the Kensington-Chevy Chase housing market. He guided me in what was needed to sell my home. I trusted his experience and completed the repairs and touch ups in the home before it was listed. We were able to list and get a contract on the home in less than 30 days. We went to closing and the rest is history. I refer friends and colleague to him. He is a warm genuine person in a very cold field of real estate. You can trust him!"
- Ebony H"I wanted thank Mark for his excellent work on selling my property in Kensington, MD. Although he provided this service back in 2022 (February), I failed to post a review at that time.
We were in a hurry to sell our property as we were planning a move to Hawaii. I called several real estate agents but was convinced when I talked to Mark that he would do an excellent job. Mark was very attentive, always communicated well and gave us the confidence we were in good hands. Mark gave us ideas on how to best prepare the home for selling, contracted for quality photos, arranged for muti-listing, set up for an open house and followed-up with subsequent meetings to keep us posted.
He made the process simple. Our home sold for well above the asking price. We had 17 offers over a weekend period. An offer was accepted the following Monday and we closed in 30 days. Mark was also instrumental in negotiating an additional 30-day period for us to vacate the house.
I would highly recommend Mark. He is knowledgeable of the area and its real estate potential. You will be in good hands!!"
"From start to finish, it was an absolute pleasure working with Mark. He was very professional, experienced and knowledgeable about the housing market. He really worked hard to find a home in the neighborhood to match our search criteria. He understood the demand of market and knew how to keep ball rolling in that competitive market. In addition, He went out of his way to provide us with extra resources to help with our moving and to settle in the house even after moving. It is hard to find a realtor like Mark, we feel very lucky. We are so glad we chose Mark to buy our home."
- Prasanna B"Bob helped me with selling a condo, and he is truly a great agent to work with. He is reliable, always responsive, and pays attention to the details where I overlook. I feel grateful to have an agent that I can trust, and the selling was very smooth. What is also unique about Bob is that he is less commercially driven, always willing to help with a big heart."
- Longmei Z."Lisa was fantastic in meeting our every need. She is the best agent we have ever had. Great service all around. She went above and beyond in working with the buyers agent for the buyer to purchase some of our furniture."
- Barry S."Our agent Julian Burke provides the absolute highest level of service. We've used him to buy our house and again to sell it and we have total confidence in his ability to deal with anything that comes up. He's been a great asset at every step of the process. We'd work with him again anytime and recommend him without reservation to anyone who needs a real estate agent."
- Adam M."Bought my first home with the help of my dad/realtor! He made the process seamless. From a quick chat about wanting to buy a home all the way to settlement, he made it happen.
My biggest challenge was finding the right neighborhood for me. He scheduled showings around NoVa to help me narrow down a location to get a feel for what I wanted. I’ve lived here all my life but I wasn’t familiar with the neighborhoods. And I know my dad is very knowledgeable…but being the client showed me his knowledge is infinite. He helped me find the perfect little condo in Alexandria just outside old town. I couldn’t have done it without him. As a first time homebuyer (and his daughter) I can’t recommend him enough!"
- Jillian O"We generally do not leave reviews but we are making an exception, because our experience was so stellar with Joe O’Hara of McEnearney Associates Realty.
Joe made our extended search for the right property for us as painless as possible. He is personable, professional, diligent, efficient, experienced, knowledgeable, and always at the ready.
He is very punctual, and always willing and ready to help.
This wasn’t our first real estate rodeo, which makes us appreciate Joe even more.
We can highly recommend!"
"Susan and her partner Joe O’Hara were enthusiastic, energetic and diligent in listing, staging and selling our house. They made sure every detail was correct and closely worked with us throughout the sales process. I highly recommend Susan to sell your house. I would list a house with Susan and Joe again."
- Rob T."Susan and Joe Exceeded our Expectations! After 16 years of being in our home, and now empty nesters, we decided on a whim to downsize and sell our home. Susan and Joe took control, guided, and helped us through the entire process. It was an overwhelming endeavor, but they made it seem like it was effortless. They got our house ready to show in no time! Their staging, marketing and floor plans wowed us. We went away one weekend and came back to 4 contracts! We highly recommend Susan and Joe."
- Kathy P."Susan and Joe did a fabulous job from start to finish! They had the eyes to stage the house inside and out .. with all the resources at their fingertips . Our house looked so good …we almost thought about not selling and moving ..ok that last parts a fib, but it was beautiful!
Their services came as a recommendation from a friend in Vienna , and could not have been happier . Thank you Susan and Joe."
- Kate T."Simply outstanding service by Collin Banks and Joan Reimann. I trust them like family. Outstanding would be an understatement ."
- Sabyasachi G."I have known Barbara for 20 years, she has excellent service and is propmpt to answer questions. The property management team is most helpful as was everyone at McEnearney. Barbara rented our property within a week and secured a 2 year lease. It is something our previous agency was unable to do in over 4 months. "
- Margitta M."JaneEllen Saums was my Realtor® to sell my Alexandria home. She is terrific! She is professional, knowledgeable, patient and a joy to work with. I was quite stressed about the sale and she talked me "off the ledge" several times in her extremely calm manner. I strongly recommend JaneEllen when buying or selling."
- Joan Bready"My wife and I decided to return back to Washington, DC in January of this year. At that time we were based in Seattle and all of our initial research activity had to be accomplished long distance via computer. We were familiar with the "Pennsylvania" and surrounding Penn Quarter district and were intent on returning to that part of town. Our initial review of websites posted by DC area realtors showed few agents actively marketing the "Pennsylvania" except Sheryl. When contacted, Sheryl was knowledeable of the building and of the other camparable properties throughout the Penn Quarter area. We found Sheryl to be prompt in setting appointments and previewing properties prior to our transcontinental inspection trips. She provided us with expert advice in the final selection and purchase of our unit to have been fair and impartial even as she represented both buyer and seller in this transaction. We would certainly use Sheryl again if the opportunity arose and we commend her to you. "
- Michael D."Sheryl, Thank you so much for all your hardwork in helping us find our new home. Even though it seemed like a lost cause to us at times, you were always positive and patient with us. Also, thank you for your contribution at the end to get the deal closed for us! It's very much appreciated. it was great working with you and the entire Prosperity Mortgage team. We look forward to staying in touch while we live in Alexandria. Take care. "
- Art & Barbara"Sheryl Lambson, Realtor Extraordinaire!! My first contract with Sheryl was at an open house. I had just moved to the area and had no true sense of where to live or what to buy. Her follow-up was outstanding and she stood by me all the way, even during those times when I became the difficult client. Her professionalism, sense of humor, encouragement and dedication to my best interests were always on the top of her list. I am now ready to begin investing in real estate and Sheryl is already offering great ideas and suggestions, backed by detailed research and opportunities. If you want the BEST in a realtor, Sheryl Lmabson is the Realtor Extraodinaire! "
- Linda E."As a first time home buyer, I found the experience of finding and buying a home to be both exciting and scary. Sheryl was a wonderful guide to both the market and the financial intricacies of the process, plus she was terrific at reassuring me through the scary parts. She was always accesible to me, I felt she understood my needs and gave me good advice, and she's a lot of fun to work with! When we found the home I know knew was the right one for me, she helped me get it, and I'm living there happily now. I recommend her highly! "
- Lynn W." Sheryl has worked with me for a number of years, first finding renters for my property, and then ultimately selling it when the time was right. She's fantastic to work with - always extremely knowledgeable, responsive, patient, and focused on what's best for her clients. Sheryl also has a very strong pulse on the real estate market of Alexandria and the surrounding areas - and provided me with the insight and perspective when considering sale options and timing. We put my condo on the market in March 2020, and accepted an offer within days. Sheryl gave great advice throughout the process, connected me with contractors, and personally met with the inspectors and appraisers. She engaged with her own network to advertise the listing, and with her photographer to take the best pictures of the condo that I've ever seen - they were beautiful. When it came time to close, everything went 100% smoothly. Sheryl left no stone un-turned in preparation, which helped make it a straightforward and successful experience for everyone involved. I would highly recommend Sheryl for any of your real estate needs, whether it's selling a home, buying a home, finding a home to rent, renting out your own property, or anything else. She's a pleasure to work with, and will make sure it's a successful and easy experience. "
- Tom P."I cannot say enough about Sheryl Lambson. She has been our agent for 13 years and has seen us through home purchases, sales, and even rentals. She is incredibly paatient and understands the stress involved in these decisions. She is there when you need her, she guides you well, and she ensures that you are taken care of, and HAPPY with your choice and the process. We would not have gotten the homes that we wanted without her... That we are certain of. I cannot imagine buying, selling, or renting without her.
"
- Lynn S."I really enjoyed working with Sheryl Lambson throughout my home search and home purchase process. Sheryl is friendly, professional, knowledgeable and patient. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home... whether you are looking for a condo, townhouse, or single family home. She will provide listings for what you're looking for, and she's flexible with her schedule to take you to view homes. She made my house search easy and explained everything to my satisfaction. Sheryl is an excellent real estate agent! "
- Tori L."It has been some time since we last heard your cheery voice on our answering machine and we miss it. You did everything you promised and more in the prompt sale of our condominium in a less than promising market. We expected, or at least hoped, for that; but you did much more in determining which repairs and upgrades were necessary for sale and then supervising and coordinating the work. You were also instrumental in preparing the unit for sale having it cleaned as necessary and removing the accumulated surplus of goods of sixteen years. Where practical, you advertised and secured the sale of the furniture. At all times you displayed professionalism and extraordinary enthusiasm for the project. Also, please express our appreciation to your able assistance, Karl Saathoff. You worked so well together, it is hard for us to know all she did, but in the furniture sale her efforts were particularly evident. We feel ourselves fortunate in having had you as our Realtor. "
- Betty S."Sheryl has been my trusted real estate agent for over 10 years. When I was preparing to return to the U.S. from Europe in late 2004, a former colleague/friend who had already returned to the U.S. referred me to Sheryl. I contacted her and she immediately began forwarding listings that met my criteria. Soon after my arrival in the U.S., on New Year's Eve, Sheryl took me to view all the listings that were of interest to me. I found what I wanted and made an offer that day that was accepted. This quick action meant that I spent a minimal amount of time in temporary quarters which allowed me to focus on my new job and adjust to my new location. Over the years that followed, Sheryl was a reliable source of information about the 'house issues,' such as good contractors for various home improvement, etc. After my retirment, I decided to sell my house and relocate to Tennessee. Sheryl listed my house right after July 4th of 2014. Within 30 days, I had a good contract; however the contract fell through. By then the market had dropped and interest waned. I decided to take the house off the market until after the holidays. Sheryl recommended that I list again in January. The house was on the market on January 20th. The first weekend of the listing, Sheryl had open houses on Saturday and Sunday. Before the end of the month, I had received an offer and negotiated an acceptable price. During the weeks that followed, Sheryl expertly guided me through the inspection and appraisal processes and all that is required to bring the contract to closure. I closed before the end of February and was able to start the next chapter of my life. Sheryl also referred me to a mover that handled my move more professionally than any I have used in the past. I have full confidence that my belongings will arrive at my new location without loss or damage. I highly recommend Sheryl for full service real esate services. During the time my house was listed, Sheryl held numerous open houses, followed up with prospective buyers, followed up with every real estate agent that brought prospective buyers to my house and relayed any feedback to me. During the first listing of my house, a number of prospective buyers commentated that they wanted granite counter tops. I decided to have granite installed and Sheryl provided invaluable advice on the type of granite that would be most attractive in my kitchen. The granite really did look good in the kitchen. "
- Beth S." Dear Sheryl: just a quick note to tell you that I just got back from visiting my son and daughter in Washington D.C., and thought of you as I was visting their condominium unit at 400 Massachusetts Avenue. They have thoroughly enjoyed living there the past several years and are grateful for all the time and effort you devoted to helping us find 'just the right' place. I also want to thank you for your help and patience as we went through the search process and ultimately, the give and take of negotiating our purchase. It all went very smoothly and much of the credit goes to you. That is particularly true as we were doing all of this from afar ( California). Should the time come we need to change the current living arrangements, I would not hesitate to seek your professional assistance again. Likewise, I would be happy to recommend your services to others. Thank you again and I hope that all is well with you. "
- Donald B."Sheryl Lambson is an extremely hard working, efficient real estate agent and friend. She helped us buy and sell a condo in Alexandria although we are in Los Angeles. She has a very pleasant personality and when we do business with her again, we shall do so without a worry in the world. "
- Nan & Omar B."I just wanted to say 'thank you' again for taking care of the sale of Bracey lane. I would recommend you to anyone who is looking for a highly professional real estate agent. "
- Lisa r."We would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to Sheryl Lambson for her assistance in helping us purchase a home in Alexandria, VA in March of 2010 and selling that same home five years later. When we were made aware that we would be relocating from Germany to the National Capital Region we asked for referrals from colleagues who had homes in the area. Sheryl was recommended to us by her former clients. At our request, Sheryl picked us up the day after our arrival and transported us to approximately 11 viewings in our desired area. It was obvious to us that Sheryl was extremely knowledgeable about the local real estate market and clearly understood our requirements. Most important, Sheryl's patience with us was a key factor in helping us identify that our expectations ( Based on another market) were not realistic for the local market. Because of Sheryl's attentiveness to local housing inventories, we were able to identify the best fit the day the home went on the market. We then made a favorable offer that same day. Five years later when a job opportunity in Florida presented itself, Sheryl was the obvious choice for marketing our home. She quickly arranged for professional photos and arranged for in home showings. Most important to us was the detail and care she demonstrated when determining the fair value for our home. If pressed for words that would best express our experiences with Sheryl we both agree attentive, professional, knowledgeable, patient but most important, fair. "
- Barbara L."Sheryl Lambson was recommended to us by a friend, when we inherited a condominium that we wanted to immediately sell. She made a well-researched priving recommendation that was spot on, indicating her knowledge of the marketplace. Sheryl suggested improvements that provided the greatest benefit for the least expense (our request- as we did not want to completely renovate), referring us to an excellent resrouce to get the work done. Sheryl navigated two unique charecteristics of the sale with ease and demonstrated that she has excellent resources at hand. I am certain that we were not the easiest sellers to handle, but Sheryl was a pleasure. She even has a great sense of humor, which was very helpful navigating this transaction. "
- Ann W. & Robert S."Sheryl was very attentive and communicates very well. "
- Robert G."The level of service was outstanding. Very professional and efficient. The agent team handled all matters of the transaction quickly, professionally and efficiently."
- Elizabeth M."Ann takes care of EVERYTHING - I knew she would because I've worked with her before. She was really creative in marketing my property - which led to a quick sale!
I was so impressed that she was able to stage the photographs of an empty house- what a bonus!"
- Michael C."Wendy has been a pleasure to work with. She’s patient, professional, and cheerful. She always gave us the most honest opinion on the house and the most constructive suggestions. She was always able to find helpful information that we didn’t know previously, such as insurance for polybutylene pipes. She also has a vast network of great people (inspectors, lenders etc.) to recommend. We trust her and her recommendations completely after working with her and her network, and we can’t recommend her enough. Wendy was always trying to get more information before we even thought to ask. She found out the house's backstory and helped put our minds at ease. She also swiftly organized a pre-offer inspection given the great interest in the house. She is of utmost help to us, especially as first-time homebuyers."
- Tina X."Wendy was absolutely amazing. She was very knowledgeable about the housing market in our area, and helped make the process simple. She answered questions when we had them and always followed up to make sure we were aware of what we needed to do. She made buying our first home very straightforward and we can't thank her enough for all of her work.Wendy paid attention to the details when we described what we were looking for, and did a great job finding listings that met our criteria within our budget. She was honest in her opinions and we felt really well supported by her."
- Andy W."Heidi was absolutely fantastic. Her knowledge of the market, use of electronic tools to help me pick properties, and flexibility with scheduling helped to make this as easy as possible."
- Donald I."Worked tirelessly to find me an ideal tenant. Used her network to get me swift service at the best price for all make-ready work for my unit. Kept me well-informed throughout. Took all the stress out of the process and was always pleasant. A great experience!"
- Kerem B."Adrianna was amazing. She was available for last-minute showings and flexible when we quickly shifted from "we are casually looking" to "let's put an offer on this house right away" within a few weeks. She had amazing recommendations for the inspection and contractors and made everything seamless. We were very confident in her knowledge of the area, of homes, etc.Wonderful communication from the whole team. Those they partner/recommend from title companies to financing to inspection were top notch.Adrianna went above and beyond in many ways, including helping recommend renters who might be interested in the property where we were vacating our lease early."
- Emily V."Excellent"
- Lenore K."Thank you Nick for taking such good care of the sale of my house. I have bought and sold real estate before, but I can honestly say this was the smoothest transaction I've ever been involved in. Nick took care of everything! I had to do practically nothing. I am very grateful. I know I can count on him when I'm ready to sell my next house. "
- Nancy"Lisa Groover is an exceptional agent - smart, talented in creating home marketing strategy, compassionate, thoughtful, organized and comprehensive. She knows the market, has a fabulous network and is strong advocate for her clients. Successful brokers open, effective advertising, and strong brand / reputation. We received a full price offer on our home within 24 hours of last open house, closed quickly and love the folks at Monarch Title! Overall process was efficient and effective."
- P. Stone"Our agent IS the BEST! Responsive, thoughtful, incredibly well-respected by her peers, patient, meticulous, displaying excellent attention to detail, well connected with others in the business realm, and the list goes on. What really sets Stephanie apart from others I've seen is her stellar combination of empathy/emotional intelligence and her undisputed real estate savvy. It's a super power combo that connects with her clients and yet also SERVES her clients really well. Stephanie goes above and beyond for her clients - treating each as a unique case - not a one size fits all number - and meeting the needs of her clients, what they need, when they need it - and they may not even know they need it but she does know and she commits! While our journey took a long time, never once did we feel pressured to close the deal or put in an offer that Stephanie herself wouldn't have put in/endorsed if she was in our situation. She constantly pushes back on every stereotype that I have seen/heard about real estate agents....she's trustworthy, capable, and does really have your best interest at heart. We felt heard and understood. Our Agent is Incredible.

- K. Reese"Ann was fantastic and followed through on every detail making the process seamless.
Very high level of service - with a great attention to detail at every point in the process"
- K. Baker"I am the Personal Representative of an Estate of an individual who lived and owned property in Washington, DC. I live in Alabama. I was initially overwhelmed at the thought of trying to sell a DC home from Alabama. I did not know which contractors to select in order to prepare the house for sale, I was unfamiliar with the DC regulations regarding selling property there, I was unsure who to use as a closing agent in DC, and I was clueless as to how I would move the furniture from the home for showings. It was a true gift and blessing to have Jane as my agent. Not only did she professionally and competently handle all of these aforementioned issues, but she actually coordinated all of the contractors and movers in my absence. Jane is very well organized and was always responsive to my questions. Jane gave me advice when I did not even know I needed it, and, most importantly, did her due diligence to make sure that I received a fair and competitive offer. If you're looking for a real estate agent, I highly recommend Jane. She goes above and beyond, as I realized immediately during our initial interview. She had my best interests at heart every single step of the way throughout the process."
- Bradley S."I could not have imagined buying a house without Jane as our Realtor! She is one of the most diligent and hard-working professionals I have ever met, and she worked tirelessly to help my husband and I find a townhouse in a very competitive area during a difficult market. Not only did Jane walk us step-by-step through the overwhelming process of buying our first home, but she was able to strike the delicate balance of honesty and kindness, allowing us to have a realistic view of our options while reinforcing the hope that we would find the home that was right for us. And when we did find the right home, she put so much effort into helping us secure it that it is hard to express just how grateful we are for her support and service. We also loved working with the rest of her team at the Jean Beatty Group - every single person we met along the way was professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jane to anyone looking for a house in the DC/MD/VA area!"
- Courtney and Jude L."I have worked with Jane Crosby Bartnick over the last couple of years on just about every real estate situation you can imagine. I decided in the Fall of 2021, to sell my beautiful, but overly large town house and to find a one level house to renovate. Jane handled the sale of my house with aplomb, jumping through hoops to get to a timely closing. In the meantime, she and I scoured Northern Virginia to find the perfect house to fix. After lots of research and showings, we finally determined that if I could find the property, my best option would be to build. A property surfaced with a number of issues and Jane went all out to get the questions answered in order for me to make an offer. So, our second transaction was the purchase of a buildable lot. With an extended build schedule, it was critical for me to find a rental property as a temporary home. Jane, once again, was there for me. We found the perfect rental and now I am waiting for my new house to be completed. Through it all, Jane was accessible, focused, and thorough. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to buy, sell or rent a property in this area."
- Patsy S."Susan has been so thoughtful through this whole process. She walked me through all aspects with her professionalism, expertise, and good spirit! I loved working with Susan! Susan exceeded expectations. She was excellent. Susan was thorough, understood my concerns and remained attentive throughout the process."

- Ty D."I personally want to praise the efficiency, professional and pleasant experience I had with Mary Taylor as my realtor in selling my home. The process was painless because of Mary’s expertise and efficiency. From signing the contract for her services in late May to showing my house in early June and having a buyer in three days and then closing in less than a month, I was exceedingly happy. Mary was most pleasant and always accessible to me and very attentive to my needs. I highly recommend her as an agent."

- Theresa S."Our real estate agent went above and beyond, securing our dream home with remarkable expertise and unwavering dedication.The McEnearney Associate service was excellent.
"
- Rodolfo V.I had outstanding service from my realtor, Natalie Garcia. She knew exactly what I wanted to do and how to get there. She explained everything we did and why we were doing it and it worked out perfectly. In reviewing the offers, Natalie explained all the pieces to consider and why one offer might be better than another. She has an amazing amount of energy and put in a lot of time and effort on this. I couldn't be happier.
"We've used Christine (Chris) Fischer at McEnearney for multiple real estate transactions in DC (three purchases and two sales on Capitol Hill). The entire firm is great and we've had very smooth transactions every time on both the buy and sell sides. So, if you need to have a realtor on speed dial like we do, Chris and McEnearney are the ones to have in your contacts."
- Matt R."Highly recommend Lauren Bishop if you want to sell your house in Alexandria. She was a joy to work with, adding value at all steps of the sale. Lauren correctly identified both our target buyer and their budget. She accurately scoped the work we needed to do before listing. Throughout the sale she kept us updated with frequent, direct, and purposeful communications. And she proactively mitigated an issue that would have delayed closing."
- Spencer S."Kate Bertles Hennigan is an amazing realtor. She was patient, creative and always had our best interest in mind. We could not be happier with our home buying experience."

- Corey O'Connor"Julian showed us what a truly great agent could be. As first-time homebuyers, my wife, Hannah, and I had a lot of learning to do.

We always knew he was looking out for our best interests and helped us weigh our options at every stage. We ended up in our dream home thanks to Julian and McEnearney Associates."
- Sean F.Our real estate agent Linda French went above and beyond, securing our dream home with remarkable expertise and unwavering dedication.
Excellent realty company! Colleen Wright has represented us on both selling and buying; she makes a complicated process as easy as possible.
"Jerry was amazing!! She paid attention to every detail and always kept me informed throughout the process. I felt comfortable with her and always knew I was in good hands. McEnearney did a great job creating the flyers that were available at showings of my place. They also provided a wonderful photographer that got the most perfect pictures that were posted online. I was excited to show friends and family the listing of my place because it turned out so well.The transaction went so smoothly. Jerry knew exactly what needed to be done and there is no doubt in my mind that without her I would not have been able to sell my place in just 4 days and get over the asking price. Jerry made sure that my place was looking fabulous. She put me at ease and made the entire selling process easy and hassle free."
- Stephanie B."I worked with Leo Watts for the purchase of my home and had a terrific experience. He went above and beyond in multiple ways and made us feel assured every step of the process. He is insightful, conscientious, patient, highly diligent, and strikes the right balance between professional and down to earth. Can't recommend him highly enough!"
- Hannah N."Joan went above and beyond to sell our house. She is professional, knowledgeable, great at staging and is so customer focused from the seller and buyer’s aspect. Would highly recommend her. We were also quite pleased and impressed with Collin, her associate.
She was great at staging, and appreciated her storing our furniture and donating the furniture we didn’t want. This was an extra perk we didn’t expect that was so helpful in our ultimate move.
"
"Marilyn is fabulous; we have worked with her for over 20 years and trust her guidance. Since we were moving overseas, we left her several blank checks to finish a needed renovation to our home, which she took on supervising on our behalf. Well above and beyond, as usual! above and beyond. We couldn’t have done it without her!!
And, we had switched to a new property management company; she stayed on top of them to keep them responsive and represent our interests!"
- Bill M, Repeat Client"Thank you so much for taking care of the sale of my house. I have bought and sold real estate before, but I can honestly say this was the smoothest transaction I've ever been involved in. You took care of everything; I had to do practically nothing. I am very grateful. I know I can count on you when I'm ready to sell my next house.
My sincere gratitude."

- Samuel C."Katie and Rengin's level of service was exemplary because it set the standard on how agents should support customer needs. Katie and Rengin were consistently in touch with us to address our questions, anticipate our needs, and guide us through the process. They did this despite regular challenges regarding time zones, technology limitations, and set travel/work schedules. Katie and Rengin successfully worked to prevent the fact that we were posted overseas, working in highly demanding positions, and tied to complicated schedules, to keep our transactions on time, on track, and culminating on great real estate deals."

Thanks again for explaining the rental process to me and holding my hand throughout the way. "
- Jeanine & Richard C."Judy was very proactive and followed through on all of her promises. She definitely over-delivered!"
- Lynnea R."Wendy is a perfect gem to work with. Smart. Efficient. Deeply knowledgeable about real estate and Old Town. You'll be lucky to work with her."
- Deb D."I infrequently post reviews but felt compelled to share my experience working with Wendy Santantonio as my realtor. I have had very little experience working with realtors over the years. And the last time was probably in 1982. So, when my wife and I began our search for a realtor earlier this summer I knew I had to find someone we both could trust. Someone who put our interests first and who truly understood us as clients. Speaking for both my wife and myself, it was quickly apparent that Wendy was that person. Not only did Wendy expertly negotiate with the seller for the best possible purchase price, but she also maintained close communication with us through the entire purchase process. Wendy was always available for our questions and made certain all agreed discounts were applied, and numbers were correct, before we signed on the dotted line. Whether you’re buying or selling, I highly recommend Wendy Santantonio for anyone looking for a realtor that they can trust 100% to take good care of them and get them through what can be a stressful process."
- David Z."I can’t recommend Wendy Santantonio enough! As a first time home buyer she made the process so incredibly smooth and eased the stress of a tight timeline. She walked me through the process from start to finish providing every detail I needed to confidently move forward with the home purchase. She listened to exactly what I was looking for and went above and beyond to make it a great experience for me. There was no question too small and she had excellent advice and vendor recommendations throughout the process. I felt that she had my best interests at heart and she worked tirelessly to see this out. She is also just a joy to be around and work with. I’m so happy with my home purchase and could not have done it without Wendy!"
- Cait B."Five Stars for Renneye Pike!
She has been the only realtor and rental agent on this property, which I have owned since 2012. I won’t have anybody else. Do NOT let her retire!"
- Molly Williamson"Nora is dedicated and exceptionally knowledgeable about the DC market. She is also very dedicated. In our instance, she helped us get a realistic sense of properties from out of town. Even in her brief absence, she made sure we were well taken care of."
- Nancy R"Nicole went above and beyond, helping us coordinate much needed repairs/ renos on my late brother's house prior to putting the house on sale (as he had no family locally, and we live in Canada). She was honest (told me what was worth spending in renos for resale value), wholly trustworthy, meticulously conscientious (oversaw everything as if she were the house owner), personable, hardworking, friendly, reliable, and kind! She responded quickly to any questions or concerns I had. She was knowledgeable and guided me through the multi-offer experience, explained everything step-by-step not only in the realtor's selling contract but also in the offers. Her communication was outstanding, keeping me up-to-date on everything."
- Grace A."Sharmane was recommended to us by a trusted realtor in Texas. Sharmane went above and beyond, easily surpassing our expectations. We are an active-duty military family, and we began working with Sharmane while I was deployed. She successfully guided us through the buying process while my family and I were back in Texas preparing for our move.
Not only did Sharmane help us find the perfect home, but she also negotiated an excellent price, including several incentives. Sharmane is exceptionally knowledgable about the entire DMV real estate market and is assertive and persistent when negotiating for her clients. "
- Montrell R"From start to finish, every interaction with Lauren was characterized by professionalism, efficiency, and genuine care for our needs. It's clear that she prioritizes providing top-notch service, and definitely exceeded our expectations. She is willing to go the extra mile to ensure you receive the best customer service.
McEneaney Associates went above and beyond to ensure that all my questions were answered and that I felt confident throughout the entire home-buying process. Each representative was attentive, responsive, and proactive in addressing any concerns that arose along the way. I truly felt valued as a homebuyer, and it's evident that they take pride in delivering a high standard of service.
Lauren's knowledge of the NOVA housing market and guidance were instrumental in helping us make informed decisions. This ultimately led to us landing our dream home!"
"Hannah provided the kind of service that customers dream of. Always kind, respectful, attentive, and calm. She's honest and trustworthy, and incredibly knowledgeable about the entire process, from the standard paperwork to condo-specific insight that helped me avoid a great deal of stress. She felt like my real estate guardian angel. I can't think of a single way Hannah needs to improve. She's thought of everything, and she handles all the spinning plates with grace. I felt safe with her as my agent."
- Julia B"We have used Mason as buyers and sellers. With her patience and great understanding of our needs, she worked very hard to find the right fit. As an Alexandria native, she has a broad network of local connections which allows her to have a good gauge on possible upcoming opportunities. Her reputation in the industry and in the community gives the other party confidence in the transaction. With frequent check-ins during the closing process, Mason makes sure that we stayed on track with all the tasks and made the process appear seamless. On the selling side, Mason provided insight on how relatively small changes would make our house market ready. Through various advertising channels she brought all potential buyers to our house and helped ensure that we got a great price for our house with favorable conditions. She would frequently check-in with the other agent which reassured us that things were progressing as expected. We highly recommend Mason to all our family and friends."
- Anna & Bob M."My wife and I have known Mason for eleven years, having worked with her as both buyers and sellers. When we decided, relatively late in 2012, to move to Northern Virginia, we were introduced to Mason by acquaintances who knew her well. She capably guided our search in a year-end market with limited inventory and was very attentive to our interests and needs. For example, she studied the dwelling that we were preparing to leave, in light of its perceived advantages and disadvantages to us. We have owned a number of houses in a number of locales, but that was a first in our experience. Mason is open-minded and resists the temptation to pressure her clients.
Several years later, we were in a position to “move up” and looked at a couple of other properties with Mason. We didn’t end up buying either. In the first instance, we didn’t get the property because we got distracted by some family matters. In the second, we made an offer that we then reluctantly withdrew due to issues that surfaced during the inspection. Mason was not judgmental in either case and provided useful opinions when we decided to upgrade the home she had originally helped us to buy in a neighborhood that we had come to love.
Most recently, Mason helped us to sell our home in Virginia when we decided to move closer to children, grandchildren and other relatives. Our search began as the pandemic was exploding. Although the market had turned strongly in favor of sellers, it was correspondingly difficult for buyers and we lost many a bidding war. Mason was patient throughout. Eventually we landed a very desirable (for us) property, and we were ready to sell our property in VA. Mason studied comparable properties carefully and fretted about what she thought we should ask. We went with her suggestions and, in the end, she had hit the nail on the head. We received four timely offers, two with escalation clauses. Taken together, the offers indicated that the Fair Market Value of our property was pretty much Mason’s proposed asking price. She conducted the negotiation professionally and fairly – this was very important to us given some of our recent experiences as prospective buyers. We finally settled for about 2.5% over asking, met the buyers at a cordial closing and introduced them after the closing to the home that they were taking over. It was a satisfying experience.
"
"My wife and I highly recommend Sarah Bobbin. As an Old Town Alexandria resident herself, she deeply understood our market when we were buying, and again when we were selling."
- Jacob C."We worked with Annette Hinaman who was extremely helpful and thoroughly professional. She priced our historic property perfectly, walked us through lots of questions, and worked hard to get us to our favorable outcome. We especially appreciated her help with vendors, and felt she went above and beyond. We are very happy with the entire process."
- Dave S."I can't say enough good about Sharmane! She helped me rent a townhome in Old Town during the busy summer months. It was a very competitive market, but Sharmane's knowledge of the area, responsiveness, and skill in communicating with the listing agent were invaluable and the reason I was able to get the house. I don't think I would have gotten nearly as far trying to go through the rental process on my own, especially in an area like Old Town. Highly recommend her!! She is smart and kind and will make the renting or buying process easy and fun. Thank you Sharmane! "
- Sarah J"I live 700 miles away, so it was so nice having Renneye Pike close by to
get the property ready for sale. She was on top of every detail, from initial
contact until closing. Her professionalism, knowledge, kindness, and much
much physical help made the process so nice for me. Thank you Renneye!
Renneye Pike was fantastic. Her knowledge of the area and local market
was impressive. She was incredibly organized and always kept me
informed. I would absolutely recommend her without reservation.
Having Renneye Pike as my agent was like having a friend on the “inside”
that is working for me. She really cares about her clients as well as the
community and neighborhood she’s doing business in.
From the first time I reached out to Renneye, she answered immediately.
She was a true professional. I always felt like she had my best interest in
mind and that I had both a friend and a Real Estate agent. I have and will
continue to recommend her to anyone in that area."
"6 stars out of 5 available - absolutely incredible experience."
- Svetlana Lyasko"Excellent service. Timely responded to questions and/or concerns. Really listened to what I wanted and Aaron worked hard to find me a place that fit. Aaron was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond finding me the perfect rental and welcoming me to Virginia.
"
"Sharmane is prompt, funny and a good person to deal with and trust. She can push through and get answers to her questions without a doubt. If you are looking for a house and you're out of state, Sharmane can take care of all details, she has her team and she is also very resourceful! In fact we knew Sharmane from another family member who used her services and recommended her. "
- Dr S N"Sharmane was excellent and incredibly professional. Not only was she knowledgable of the market but the speed with which she directed her efforts in both answering questions, negotiating and paperwork made a huge difference as a first time home buyer. In addition, her in depth knowledge of local development in Tampa made me comfortable in making my first investment in real estate. I could not recommend working with her enough!"
- Andrew N"Miriam Miller is a consummate professional with a deep understanding of local real estate markets. Having to sell my late father’s house was difficult, but Miriam’s optimism, patience and can-do attitude made the process that much easier. Her expertise and keen eye for detail served me well and her willingness to go above and beyond helped turn a neglected house into a beautiful home. Not living in the immediate area, Miriam played the roles of real estate agent, stager, and logistics manager for all the moving parts required to update the house from afar. I am truly appreciative of all that Miriam was able to accomplish and cannot think of a more capable real estate agent. She truly is amazing and I highly recommend her for anyone who is looking to buy or sell in the greater Washington DC area."
- Mark C."Alice was instrumental in assisting my family with a remote property in VA. She was amazingly responsive and responsive to all of our questions and concerns! I look forward to working with Alice in future transactions."
- Lizzy H."Susan went above and beyond to find me a new home. She regularly sent me links to possibilities, met me countless times at houses and was totally supportive throughout the process. All my dealings were with Susan O'Reilly, who was outstanding. Susan was just terrific. She came to my new house for the move, even went out and got me food and flowers. And she met me at the closing -- all of which seemed like beyond the call of duty compared to the other times when I have purchased homes."
- K.M., Alexandria VA"We had an exceptional experience purchasing a home in Alexandria with the help of Sandy McMaster. Sandy guided us through every step and recommended contractors to help with the renovations we want to do."
- Ginny P."Philip was a pleasure to work with and so easy to communicate with. His professional guidance and attention to really listening to what our needs were made our search end with the perfect home. I can’t say enough!! After buying and selling several homes, Philip was truly listening to us and didn’t even blink when we changed direction on what we wanted in a home. We will recommend him without a second thought!"
- Janelyn Riley"The level of service was top-notch! JaneEllen was so responsive, efficient, knowledgable, and paid close attention to our needs. She made the whole process of looking for a new home easier. She guided us through with know-how!
JaneEllen was wonderful to work with! She really listened and was patient."
"Nicole is the ideal agent. She is a perfectionist by nature and sweats every detail. Nothing is left unaddressed. A consummate professional, Nicole is available 24/7, and proactive -- thinking ahead about any potential challenges and coming-up with creative solutions. Added benefits to working with Nicole include: (1) she too is a homeowner/real estate investor and has a large rolodex of key professionals, including gardeners, plumbers, woodworkers, and more; (2) she is an artist and brings her trained eye to every listing she works on; and (3) she is a seasoned business professional who approaches her work with professionalism and the benefit of years of business experience. I have purchased and sold numerous properties over the years and can confidently say that Nicole is second to none."
- NC"I worked with Nicole to sell my late sister’s townhouse in Annandale. I cannot emphasize enough how impressed I am with the level of service and professionalism she provided. From start to finish, Nicole exceeded my expectations—not only were we able to close the sale within 2 months of my sister’s passing, the house was sold for the asking price. Right from our initial meeting, Nicole demonstrated a deep knowledge of the local real estate market. She took the time to understand my specific situation and the challenges in getting the property to market, not the least of which was that I do not live locally. Nicole did everything humanly possible to help me through the process. Her network of contacts, including electricians, painters, contractors, stagers etc, proved invaluable in speeding up the presale prep and securing a top price for the sale. Everyone she recommended was a reliable professional who was equally dedicated to providing top-notch service. When it came time to close the deal, Nicole used her exceptional negotiation skills on my behalf. She worked tirelessly to secure the best possible price and terms for me, and her guidance and advice were invaluable in getting through the inspection. If you're looking for a real estate agent who is trustworthy, highly skilled, and committed to delivering exceptional results, you would be hard-pressed to find anyone as good or better than Nicole. "
- MC"Everyone knows that the love and care you put into a home (that more times than not) goes unnoticed or appreciated when selling that home. Sharmane not only noticed it but also put the spotlight on it for buyers to see and appreciate. Her negotiating is out of this world and we got the absolute best (unheard of) outcome! I love her not only as a dear friend but as an amazing hardworking Mama that is determined to get the best possible outcome for you. She kept us centered and focused on God throughout the whole process and I cannot thank her enough for not just selling our house but also loving us ??????"
- Rosie Woolverton (Source)"Exceptional experience! Most definitely exceeded our expectations! Joan Reimann and her team went above and beyond each step of the way, along with bringing truly measurable added value! Joan offers complementary services which are rarely available through other agents.
Every step of our process from the initial meeting/intro with Joan until closing, was highly professional, helpful, partnering, proactive, and all with great consideration for the hard work/logistics which a seller experiences when listing their home. Joan, Mina and Collin (the team!) worked tirelessly to meet our timeline and bring us a result which we never expected, an offer far, far above asking.
I can't recommend Joan and her exceptional team more highly! This is Top-Shelf group in every way!"
- Ellen F."Jerry Thatcher @McEnearney was the most enthusiastic and positive realtor during the entire process of renovating and selling our home! She guided us every step of the way from start to finish. She cared for us like we were family and this is so grounding during a stressful process of renovation and decluttering. I valued her advice and her ‘can do’ attitude."
- Suzanne B."Jerry was marvelous! She is a firecracker and gets the job done! She is also very supportive and above everything else, she really does care about her clients! Jerry was with us every step of the way on this journey of ours: renovating our house and getting it ready for market, and then walking us through each phase of the staging, Open House and closing!"
- Ramon and Suzanne B."I just wanted to let you know that Renneye Pike is the best! I've been an owner at the Rotonda since 1980. Renneye is my "go-to-person" for what is going on at and around the Rotonda. She is a wealth of knowledge. Her work ethic, dependability, integrity and honesty are unquestionable. She listened to what we needed and found the perfect home for our family. You can't go wrong if she is working for you. Renneye ROCKS!!"
- David H."I can’t say enough about how wonderful it was to work with the dynamic duo of Kim Kreeb and Stacy Hennessey in evaluating the right time to sell, finding a rental in a competitive market, and putting my house up for sale.

- Elyse Rawlings"The Jean Beatty Group were top notch in helping us find the dream home and assisting with all of the questions and things we needed help with, from the home search to our offer to the closing.

- B. Dutton"I have used the services of Mary Taylor three times over the past two years, twice as a buyer (once involving dual representation) and once as a seller. This was during the difficult circumstances presented by the pandemic.

I would not hesitate to seek her services again or to recommend her to others."

- S. DeLozier"It goes without saying how incredible you are and what you have done to support us in purchasing this house. Your professionalism, knowledge, business acumen, and tenacity are the best we have ever seen! It is YOU that made this wonderful! THANK YOU for EVERYTHING!"
- Julie & Steve S."I want to thank you for all you did to effect a quick and successful sale. As this was an estate property that had been sadly neglected for some time, I was anxious to sell this house as quickly as practicable while still achieving a fair sales price for the estate. I was also apprehensive about the issues that might arise in the course of selling such a property. I had received many solicitations from agents wanting to buy or market this house, but you had done such an excellent job marketing my rental property in Arlington in 2015, I knew I could rely on your experience and knowledge of the market to make the sale of this house a success. I especially appreciate that you consistently go the extra mile to ensure that the entire experience from the initial walk-through to the final settlement is as smooth and stress-free as possible. Your referrals for professionals to take charge of clearing the Springfield house of personal property, organizing an estate sale, and providing a deep cleaning of the house to prepare the house for sale, all in less than a month, were invaluable. I wouldn't have known where to begin without your help in referring me to these services. No one could have anticipated that in addition to the challenges presented by the property itself, we would be caught up in the fears and frenzy of COVID-19 coming upon us just as we were about to put the house on the market. Your experience and steady hand kept everything moving forward on schedule and were a welcome source of support to me in unpredictable circumstances. As the uncertainties of the market continue under the restrictions associated with COVID-19, I am particularly grateful that your professionalism and confident marketing of the property in this difficult time resulted in a timely sale of this property. Above all, it was a pleasure, as always, to work with you. Thank you for another successful house-selling experience."
- Bobbie"Although this was not the first house I bought and sold, it was the first time buying and selling on my own. I could not have chosen a better real estate agent than Janet Price and I knew this going in. I chose her for her subject matter expertise, for her sales record, for her professionalism, for her outstanding reputation in my neighborhood, and for all that she does in our community.
Janet knows this process like the back of her hand. And I soon realized just how good of hands I was in. I was so overwhelmed at the onset and she instantly put me at ease every step of the way. She streamlined the entire process and guided me at every decision point. Her advice about the market, about the homes we saw, about the process of making an offer, were spot on! I truly felt I did not have to worry about how this was all going to work out given my circumstances. She nailed it!
I ended up getting my dream home for me and my three sons and we couldn't be happier. Her collaboration with my lender and all other parties involved were extensive, timely and accurate. She took such good care of me. My experience through all of this could not have gone smoother. I would say that Janet's best attributes as an agent is her knowledge of the real estate market, the homes themselves, and how to navigate and negotiate her clients through this entire process.
I will use Janet over and over again and recommend her every chance I get. She's that good!"
- Cari K."My fiancé and I started to work with Mary Taylor, while I was deployed out of the country. Mary is very professional, patient and was willing to go the extra mile for us. When I returned home from my deployment we hit the ground running trying to find our first home and Mary was so supportive in finding the house that met our criteria. As soon as we found one we wanted to look at we would text or email Mary and she would have us set up within 24-48 hours to go take a look. If there was a scheduling conflict or if Mary was helping another customer she would let us know and quickly come up with an alternate time to meet us. When we found the house we wanted, Mary was there fighting for us to make sure we got the best deal and she made sure that any problems were professionally and quickly taken care of.
Long story short, Mary was great. We have a wonderful home now and it is all thanks to Mary and the attention and help she provided to us during this huge life milestone.
Thanks so much, Mary.

She earned my full trust, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!"

- L & M Bartusek"I want to thank you for the outstanding service you provided through the sale of our condo. There is no doubt that listing with you was the right decision for me and Azim, and I will recommend you to others. What has been truly exceptional, though, has been your help with meeting the conditions our buyer wanted. With a tight time frame and from 3000 miles away, we would have never been able to fix and manage repairs. You also kept us on track when something new came all. All went beyond what we could have possibly expected. I want to thank you for the outstanding service you provided through the sale of our condo.

I cannot recommend her highly enough!"
- Mitchell and Karen S"It is challenging to express the depth of our appreciation for our Realtor, Sharmane Medaris. Her knowledge of the market, constantly updated, was superb and her marketing strategies, designed to achieve those things most important to us, were amazing. She managed to minimize our stress and maximize our profits. Most importantly, she took the time to get to know us and support us, in ways big and small. In all honesty, the process of downsizing and relocating has, at times, been sad and difficult. But the process of selling our home has been wholly positive and amazing. Sharmane is a remarkable Realtor and an empathetic and supportive person, who will always have a special place in our hearts. We recommend her highly and unreservedly."
- Helaine G"Mackenzie worked with us diligently and professionally for 3 months. She was patient, knowledgeable and accommodating. Great experience with her service.

They listened; they gave practical feedback; they diplomatically shot down bad ideas; and they always followed up on any leads.

Their relationship with McEnearney was invaluable when it was important to consult with a broker on technical or legal matters.
If you want the best, get Kristy and Erika."
"Rengin's performance was exceptional. Having worked with her in the past with clients, I already had high expectations. However, experiencing her service first-hand during the sale of my home has truly surpassed my previous impression of her. The quality of service provided was impressive."
- Marco G."We sold out home recently with Shar and it was the most positive home buying/selling we have had over our multiple moves. Shar was experienced, knew the market trends and advised us on the best course of action for us. Shar listens and provides sound advice for people looking to buy or sell a home. Shar had a high degree of energy and was up on the latest tech tools being used in today's real estate market. Shar worked hard for us and even jumped into our pool fully clothed to create mass media marketing buzz. If you are looking to sell your home quickly, smoothly and capture its true value, go with Sharmane as your next realtor. "
- Christopher D"Eeveryone knows that the love and care you put into a home (that more times than not) goes unnoticed or appreciated when selling that home. Sharmane not only noticed it but also put the spotlight on it for buyers to see and appreciate. Her negotiating is out of this world and we got the absolute best (unheard of) outcome. I love her not only as a dear friend but also as an amazing hardworking Mama that is determined to get the best possible outcome for you. She kept us center and focused on God throughout the whole process and I can not thank her enough for not just selling out house but also for loving us. "
- Rosie W"Jane's level of service was amazing, she is so knowledgeable and on top of everything. She went above and beyond for us and we’re so thrilled with our new home!

Jane was with us every step of the way and let us know what was coming next and always answered our questions quickly and knowledgeably"

- Daniel E."If I could give her more than five stars, I would. She took care of everything quickly and efficiently, and we actually had fun. "
- Anna S."Adrianna is beyond 5 stars! She helped me get my house ready to sell and then sold it before it even went on the market. She then worked nonstop to help me find the perfect home. But she didn't stop there! She went to my closing and walk through. Adrianna was with me through the entire move. I have moved several times and never have had a realtor so invested. She will make your move painless!
This is the best service I have ever received when buying/selling a home. They know every neighborhood in NOVA. You will not be disappointed! "
- Laura G."Mary Beth Taylor was an amazing agent! She had excellent attention to detail, walked me gently through each step of the selling process and gave excellent advice that was always in my best interests. She helped me to make my minor changes to my home that were within my budget and it was worth every penny. She was patient and extremely knowledgeable about the market and appropriate pricing. I was able to get 5 offers on my house in one weekend and sold for almost 12% above the asking price. I was absolutely thrilled with the outcome of my sale! I would highly recommend Mary Beth to anyone interested in buying or selling a property, she was professional and FIVE STARS at every step!"
- Sara S."JaneEllen was the consumate professional real estate agent. I would sign her again to sell any property that I own.

- Desi"Wendy is absolutely the best realtor we've ever had! My wife and I have bought/sold several homes all over the United States, and Wendy's service, experience, professionalism, and communication outpace everyone else by miles. Her attention to detail, proactive approach, and effort to support her clients should be the example other realtors aspire to. I cannot recommend Wendy Santantonio enough to anyone looking for any real estate needs. We will absolutely work with Wendy again if we return to the DMV area and it was an absolute pleasure to work with her for the selling of our Old Town home."
- Tyler W.Marysol consistently went above and beyond for us! She communicated well, gave us her honest opinion, and stayed up at all hours to make sure our needs were exceeded. She had completed many long drives to show us properties of interest, thoroughly talked us through options, and even went late to an event to make sure we had a competitive and fast offer.
"Laura is such a rock star! My partner and I were buying and selling at the same time. She helped us with all the details when we listed our home. Repairs, preparation, staging, she was with us every step of the way and gave great advice. It was no surprise that we were under contract in a few days with multiple offers! We have busy lives and Laura made this complicated process streamlined and efficient. She is super no-nonsense. We also valued her constant communication and accessibility - so we always knew what was happening and what we needed to do. When it came time to purchase our next home, we are 100% certain that her negotiation skills, quick action and happy personality got us the house in a multiple bid situation! We will be clients for life! Thank you!"
- Mari & Rick"Dinora, thank you so much for your time and attention in helping us find our new home! Your friendly personality and professionalism were top-notch! You never hesitated to reply back to us in a timely manner whenever we had a question and you explained each step along the way, which put us at ease. We also liked the comparables as we went through underwriting! We will wholeheartedly recommend you to friends and family!! Thank you again and best wishes to you!"
- Edgar, Lisa, and Lucas"Wendy provided white glove service! She is the spirit guide of home buying. Her excellent level of service was much appreciated."

- Leigh G."Sandy Goes above and beyond. She always keeps us in the loop. We have complete confidence in her and her team. Excellent communication!"
- Jorely Gibson"Sandy is amazing."
- Nathaniel Gibson"To be frank, I have a very high bar for what I expected for service at this price point, and Sandy McMaster exceeded our expectations at every phase. My wife and I both have MBAs, I have bought and sold many properties throughout our lives, and do not suffer fools gladly. That combination might make us hard to please as real estate clients--but I cannot say enough praise for Sany McMaster and her teammate Kristen Woods for their exceptional performance, timely communication, and frequent double checking along every step (for both of us as sellers and for the buyers) to make this a smooth transaction.
You are very lucky to have Sandy McMaster on your team! For us, this was 100% "The Sandy Show"-- I am sure there is a broker of record somewhere behind the scenes, but sure I hope your are keeping Sandy happy because she is a ROCK STAR! We all know this is a complex market in the Northern VA--D.C. area, with low inventory but also with some current uncertainty in the banking industry and rising interest rates. But Sandy's expertise in pricing analysis, marketing tactics, and overall market analytics helped us see through that noise, and ultimately her analysis and guidance exceeded all of our expectations. However, the hard metrics are not the only place where Sandy shines-- her "soft skills" are truly exceptional: she periodically had to play a very effective role as unofficial counselor/psychologist, talking me off the ledge a few times regarding market timing, home marketing, preps for sale, etc. We are proud to call Sandy a friend and cannot recommend her more strongly after this recent transaction.
I cannot imagine a more flawlessly executed listing/marketing process leading to a rapid contract at 100% asking price, and a seamless path to closing. We are incredibly grateful for Sandy McMaster and Kristen Woods whose advice, counsel, and guidance was with us every step of the way!"
- Michael T. Westbrook"Casey was phenomemal. We collaborated to identify a residential property that fit my needs. She was available for weekend showings and got insight from other agents into activity on properties I was most interested in. She was also available for weekend showings and got insights from other agents into activity on properties I was most interested in. She also discussed financing renovations with me and coordinated a meeting with a bank to discuss a heloc. And once I found my future home, she served as the intermediary between myself and Carlysle Towers. She also helped me vet contractor options. Casey went above and beyond. "
- Stacey LaRiviere"Virginia was stellar. She is a paragon of professionalism. If we ever look for another house, we would want to work with no one but her. "
- Shannon C Grippando"Heidi is the most attentive real estate agent I have ever worked with or met. Her attention to detail, both in marketing the home as well as researching the market, is truly exemplary. The service was always well informed and communicative. Smooth transaction. "
- Nanette Irene Barrett"Katie Stowe goes above and beyond to make sure I understand the process and that my interests are a top priority. I trust her to keep my needs in mind and to provide salient advice throughout the decision making. She made sure I got the best deal and steered me in the right direction each step of the way. She was communicative and responsive to my needs, even though my availability meant I could mostly talk during the evenings and weekends."
- Meaghan Archer"Betsy Twigg was my agent that helped me sell my townhome in July 2022. It was an incredibly tight market with increased interest rates scaring the would-be buyers, but through her tenacity and relationships, she was able to find me a well-financed buyer who offered a very fair price. Betsy went above and beyond in many respects, helping find people to make repairs and junk removal, and her stager was top-notch. I have bought and sold 4 other Arlington homes and Betsy was just amazing."
- Julie B."A grateful shout-out to realtor Betsy Twigg of McEnearney Associates Inc. Realtors. Betsy provided us with a successful stress-free full service home sale. We moved out of our home and gave her the keys. She had the house painted, cleaned, and staged to sell. Her outstanding marketing brought out buyers in droves. Within 6 days we had several terrific offers and 3 offers well above asking. We highly recommend Betsy Twigg if you plan to sell your home."
- Rita T."We are totally impressed by Ms. Sandy Chee- an experienced realtor and an impeccable communicator. sold our home in a record time! Moreover, her thoughtfulness and courteousness truly de-stressed a somewhat emotional life event. Sandy is exactly the relator one can dream for."
- Midori A."We had the opportunity to work with Hannah on not only selling our house, but buying and building our dream home. To say it was a pleasure to work with her is an understatement. She is one of the most hard working people I know and made the buying and selling process seamless for us. She kept us up to date with everything going on and did all the hard work for us. She went above and beyond what any other realtor has done for us. She not only cooked us dinner when we were having work done to our house, but helped with the cost to get this done. When we were having issues with the closing of our new home, she went to the county herself to get everything done so we could move in on time. Hannah is one of the best realtors in Northern Virginia, and we would highly recommend her and would use her again in the future. "
- Farha and Tony"Ann McClure was terrific in every way and instrumental in both the purchase of our new home and sale of our old one. She has great resources and market knowledge, clearly cares about her clients, works very hard, and keeps up to date on pricing and trends through detailed research. She made great suggestions, all of which we followed, that ultimately gave us great results. All of our interaction was with Ann and Jennifer, and both provided top-notch service.
"
- Joe Carroll"If I could rate Ann higher than 5, I would. Ann helped me purchase this home back in 2019 and I called on her again to help me sell it. Ann takes the time to answer all of my questions and address all of my concerns. She goes with her gut when making decisions and she’s always making the right decisions. Ann did exactly what she said she would do and the sale went exactly how she said it would. I am so thankful I was able to work with her again and that I ever met her in the first place. Ann is kind, special, knowledgeable, decisive, and just an amazing person to work with. I truly believe the sale of my home would not have been as successful as it was if it wasn’t for Ann and Jennifer. I also want to thank Jennifer for her hard work and everything she put into helping me buy this home in 2019 and sell it a few days ago. They make an amazing team and I will always recommend them for potential future clients! The timeline was everything Ann said it would be! Very successful sale since we started receiving offers I believe 2 days after it was officially on the market!"
- Talore Harrison"Martha is a stellar agent. We've worked with her on the property my daughter and son-in-law purchased. We worked with her on the property we purchased. And, we worked with her on the sale of our old property. I cannot recommend Martha and McEnearney any more strongly. First rate service by all concerned."
- John F."The service was excellent. Alice went above and beyond what I have ever experienced with a realtor. She helped me with the entire process and was very supportive when I would get frustrated. She made the entire experience a pleasure to get completed. "
- Kathy Freeland, 2626 Cornerstone Circle"Selena was the absolute best. She helped us navigate a crazy market m, giving us sound advice and making sure we were taken care of every step of the way!"
- Jeremy G."If I could give her more than five stars, I would. They took care of everything quickly and efficiently, and we actually had fun!"

- Daniel E."AWESOME SERVICE!! Miriam answered every text and phone call, I had a million questions and she got me answers straight away! "
- Lisa E."Tammi was great. Lots has changed in the 18 years since we have sold a house and Tammi was able to explain the current market and how best to prepare our home for sale. Tammi provided sound advice, a great painter, and was on top of the process the entire time we were preparing to sell. We sold in just a few days and she got us top dollar for our house."
- David G."Marysol guided my wife and I in buying our first home in the location we wanted to be in, within our price point, and turned around well researched offer (no less than eight comps going back a year!) in less than 24 hours. Her instincts on how to craft competitive offers is stellar and resulted in the seller accepting our offer on the first home we looked at. To boot, the home appraised for $10K above our offer, building instant equity. She has a great eye for value and can see a home's potential, even in a homes that may not show well. Likewise, she is good at pointing out pitfalls when she sees them. Another great trait is that she is careful to communicate as frequently as you want her too, while still being responsive. We had a family emergency overseas in the process and she found a good title company that was able to get our stuff squared away without issue. I'm always impressed by how hard Marysol works, even for smaller buyers like us. I could not have been happier with my experience with her. Marysol's the best in the DMV, accept no substitutes!"
- Guanrong L."Casey Shaw went above and beyond. She provided real estate counseling, talking through features of properties and potential renovations that would result in the highest resale value. She made herself available for weekend showings. She also discussed financing renovations with me and coordinated a meeting with a bank to discuss financing options for substantial renovations. And once I found my future home, she helped me vet contractor options and did walkthroughs with potential contractors on my behalf. Thanks Casey!"
- S. L."Emily put our house on the market and didn’t just sell it in 8 days, she made the process so simple. Her ideas made the staging of our home look great! Everyone who looked, had an interest in buying. We would use Emily again, and would recommend her to anyone who wants to sell quickly and get value out of their home. "
- Rich T."Our realtor, Betsy Twigg, was outstanding. Betsy's marketing plan and house prep led to multiple offers and a great contract five days after going on the market. We could not be happier with the results."
- Michael H."Bob went above and beyond with his sage advice and professional demeanor, critical to putting us at ease as first-time home buyers. He was always readily available with timely responses to help us make well informed decisions on offers. Bob read the lengthy homeowners association documents, provided feedback, and even arranged a phone call with the HOA president to address questions. He reviewed properties with a critical eye, being careful to point out design, structural, and possible safety issues. Lastly, no detail was lost on Bob going as far as recommending specific appliances and vendors. "
- Cody and Allison G., February 2023"Susan was a tremendous help in my home-buying process. She was quick to respond and helped answer any questions I had, about the process or the homes that we viewed. Susan has a great amount of experience and knowledge when it comes to the real estate world. She knows the Northern Virginia area very well and will be sure to put you in the home you want."
- Nicholas Frye"I have worked with Susan Thomas for about nine years now, first as a property manager for my rental property and since then with the sale and purchase of a few homes. More recently Susan helped me find my current home. Susan takes the time to listen to what you are looking for, provides insight to the neighborhoods and the options based on your price range and specifics you are looking for. She also is quick to pick up on your style and what would be a good fit for you. She is also very helpful in identifying suitable contractors for repairs or any remodeling."
- Angela Byers"Susan Thomas did an amazing job helping us find our new home in Reston! She was very helpful during every step of the process and often made us feel like we were her top priority even though we know she had other clients she was working with. As buyers, we were looking for an agent who really identified with our needs and wasn't just trying to complete a transaction. Susan was exactly the type of agent that we were looking for. She was available when we needed her, knowledgeable about the market that we were looking in, and honest when viewing houses together. When it came time to write an offer, Susan was creative in her ability to help us craft an offer that would stand out to the seller while ensuring that we offered a fair amount for what the house was worth. We were very satisfied with our overall experience and would certainly recommend her!
Thanks again!"
- Tyler and Laura"Our experience with Susan Thomas was fantastic. As a buyers agent, she dealt with the pressure of our very brief window of opportunity for a move with professionalism and superior responsiveness. She not only identified the perfect home for us that was not yet on the market, she helped us negotiate a fair price, supplemental items, and favorable buying conditions. What we valued most was her friendly, candid, and knowledgeable communication. This made the entire experience much easier to navigate, and we couldn't be any happier with our new home. Susan is an expert in the area and in the business of real estate, and we recommend her to anyone in the market for a home."
- Dave and Rebecca Svec"Susan has tremendous experience in the DC, VA, and MD markets and it show. Her experience and knowledge came out when she helped me sell my house and purchase one. When selling, she staged and marketed the house wonderfully to get it sold at the price that I wanted. And during the purchase process, she understood my needs and wants and formulated a home search accordingly. She showed me homes within my search criteria and got me a great home within my budget. I would definitely ask Susan to help me with any of my housing needs in the future."
- Rick Okonak"Susan is the consummate professional, always putting your interests ahead of hers. She is very knowledgeable and experienced and provides remarkable service, far beyond what anyone could reasonably expect. Susan takes a comprehensive approach to getting the full job done for you, rather than taking a partial and transactional perspective. She pays attention to both the big picture and the details equally well. What’s even better she does all this with a sense of humor and a genuine smile."
- Larry Kanarek"My family and I relocated to Washington, DC, on January 5, 2015, from Paris, France. Needless to say that it was a big move for us, especially with two children. We were looking for a realtor who could help us find a suitable home within the school district that we had chosen. I did call a few agents listed on the Global Mobility guide, but no one took the time to call me in Paris and discuss our needs except for Susan. She took the time to call and find out the details of our move and needs in terms of housing and schools. I had no hesitation in choosing Susan as our realtor.
She went beyond and above her normal responsibilities as a realtor, actually she was more of a relocation consultant. She gave us a tour of the various communities, helped us with the Social Security application and provided us with a wealth of practical information. She also found us a home in a great neighborhood close to the schools we wanted.
I recognize that the Bank does not provide relocation services to staff relocating to HQ, and the rationale was that staff can easily find the services they need in the US. I believe that this type of service would be very beneficial to our staff as it can facilitate a smoother transition for the family and decrease stress to staff. Although the US is a developed country, the way of life is very different compared to other countries, and navigating through the administrative procedures for the first couple of months when the staff and their families are settling in could be overwhelming and stressful.
In conclusion, I would definitely recommend Susan to other staff because of her excellent services as a realtor/relocation consultant.

"My spouse and I were purchasers of a Georgian center hall colonial in the Langley section of McLean in December 2015. The seller agreed to stay on for 60 days. However, we needed a 12- to 18-month rental (at the end of that 60-day term) prior to our being able to take possession. After having dealt and been dissatisfied with the firm that we had been advised were the "leading" agents for placing such rentals, we asked local friends for recommendations. They referred us to Joseph O’Hara. When we phoned Mr. O’Hara the next morning, he was available to meet with us and inspect the property residence that afternoon. After having inspected the residence with us, he discussed rental alternatives with us, and we advised him that we wished to work with him as our agent and asked to execute his listing agreement.
Mr. O’Hara acted to have the rental multiple-listed by the end of that week. By the end of the following week, Mr. O’Hara had identified two rental prospects. By the middle of the week following, he had shown the property, and each of the prospects had tabled offers at the rental asking price. The offers differed in the number of months of occupancy to which the renters were willing to commit. Mr. O’Hara counseled us in how best to proceed in our decision-making. We followed his advice and closed on an 18-month rental with the new occupancy commencing the day after the departure of our original 60-day seller-occupant. Mr. O’Hara was “Johnny-on-the-spot” attentive to every detail. No representation could possibly have been better. We would be pleased to speak with you about our experience."
- Landlord/Rental Judy & Clay"Ken and I are so grateful for all you have done for us, and believe me I will be referring everyone I know to you as I have already sung your praises at this office."
- Buyer, South Riding, VA"Thank you so much for all your help these past few months. Justin and I are so excited to move into our new home! We really enjoyed working with you and were quite pleased that our first experience as first-time homebuyers was positive, and everything ran smoothly. Thank you also for our change of address cards and gift checks. That was very thoughtful, and we look forward to using them. Thanks again!"
- Buyers Justin and Kristen"Thank you both for all your amazing help in our home search and purchase. Bonnie and I feel like we won the lottery running into you on the Hill several months ago. We cannot imagine having gone through this process without you and look forward to singing your praises to as many of our friends as possible."
- Buyers Bonnie and Kevin"We can’t imagine going through this without Joe….we couldn’t be happier."
- Buyers Clare and Ross"Joe — Can't express in words how pleased we were with you selling our condo! We can see why Scott so highly recommended you. We will not hesitate to refer you to any of our friends or church folk that we hear are selling."
- Sellers Harry & Mark"I want to express my gratitude, and that of all our family, for the professional and caring way that you've handled everything from listing through closing for Mom. I'm glad to have your card so that we can recommend your services in the future. Our very best wishes in all your future endeavors…
Thank you."
- Sellers The Dillon Family"Just wanted to say Thank You again for the wonderful job you did handling the sale of our son Jay’s condo. We have had a very difficult time since his passing, and your professionalism has certainly lessened our burden. Your coordination of all the repairs as well as your efficiency in handling the many details of the sale have been a tremendous help. We would be more than glad to talk to anyone looking for a recommendation for your work."
- Sellers The Mullen Family"Joe is amazing!!! He took over the sale of our house after it wasn't selling. I only wish I had started with Joe. After Joe took over, the house sold quickly. He had a team of pricing agents that came in and suggested a price to get the most out of our house and to sell quickly. His negotiation skills are excellent. On the outside Joe is calm but behind the scenes he is furiously working. Since Joe grew up in McLean, VA, his connections are extensive throughout the metro area...this really helps! He is a gentleman and very professional. Joe is a major strategist when it comes to selling your house and finding your new dream home. We wanted to downsize and Joe found us a 5-story townhouse, with an elevator, where we can walk to restaurants and stores. The bus is across the street, which takes us to the Metro! Hire Joe...you won't be sorry, I promise!"
- Sellers and Buyers Joan & Jim"Joe is very comfortable to work with and a true professional. He has a vast knowledge of home craftsmanship/quality in addition to understanding trends of the housing market. For the inspection of the home we did purchase, it was Joe who suggested we have the surrounding trees inspected as well because they were covered in ivy. I don't think we would have thought of doing that on our own. The inspection showed numerous trees that were diseased and needed to come down. Joe is also very competent in negotiation, and it is obvious he is well respected by his peers. It was a delight to work with Joe, and we have already referred him to others. He is very knowledgeable, professional and easy to work with. We are not new to buying/selling homes, yet we learned so much from Joe."
- Buyers Clay & Amy"I have already recommended Joe to many friends, and have no problem rating him 5/5 in every category — he knows the area inside and out and has sold in most buildings. He walked me through the process step by step, so that even as a first-time home buyer, buying a condo wasn't actually that stressful. He helped me structure a winning bid in a competitive market and find the right lender to get the deal done quickly. Joe came recommended to me through many friends, and I would recommend him on just as quickly!"
- Buyer Jessica"Joe O'Hara is outstanding, honest and knows what his clients want and need when buying and selling a home! Joe worked with our budget and told us what we needed to do to sell our home right away. The minute we started the process I felt at ease, I trusted his professional opinions and by following his advice, we put our home on the market and had 9+ offers the next day. The amount of support and professionalism got my fiancée and me through a very difficult and tumultuous process. If anyone were to ask me for a recommendation, my response would be "If you are looking for an honest realtor that cares about all your wants and needs, Joe O'Hara is your realtor!!"
- Sellers Megan & AJ"Joe O'Hara made the uncertainty and stress of selling our home of 20 years a positive experience. His calm presence, positive nature and sense of humor are attributes that complemented his thorough knowledge of the local market, helping to manage our expectations. Sometimes, it seemed like he had ESP, as my husband and I would be talking and thinking about calling Joe with for a question or an update, and the phone would ring with Joe checking in! If your desire is a partner to support you and always have your best interest front and center throughout the process, Joe is your agent."
- Sellers Molly & John"Joe took over for an agent/friend who retired, and he still deserves to be sainted for persevering. I spent 3 years looking — actively looking — because I was content where I was and had very specific requirements for what a new house would need to offer to get me to uproot myself and move — namely a great neighborhood to walk my dog and garage for my Tesla. Joe never judged, he just patiently helped me measure each existing garage or assess the cost/feasibility of adding one. We had a few near-hits where his ability to bring in expert opinions saved me from making some pretty expensive mistakes as well. And he has a great sense of humor -— bonus"
- Buyer Cathleen"Joe assisted us in selling the home we had lived in for 18 years. He was instrumental in helping us to prepare our home to be sold. He offered constructive suggestions, recommended reputable contractors to assist us and brought in an amazing staging company. He created a stunning brochure and kept us well informed of all the activity related to prospective buyers. We would highly recommend Joe."
- Sellers Laurie & Steve"As a first-time homebuyer, I really relied on Joe to hold my hand and make this process as easy as possible, and he did not disappoint. He was very professional, courteous, knowledgeable and helpful. I would definitely recommend him to be an agent representing anybody I know."
- Buyer Misty"Joe is friendly and easy to talk to, which is a great attribute when going through a home buying/selling experience which can be stressful at times. He is also very knowledgeable about the process and is always available."
- Sellers Mimi & Dan"Joe was a true professional throughout the entire process, from the initial search and scheduling home visits, to making an offer, closing, and moving in to our new home. He was knowledgeable of the unique local area and attentive to critical requirements in a fast-moving market; he communicated clearly, promptly, and with the utmost candor. Even during a stressful search, Joe was calm, friendly, and fun. We truly appreciated his counsel and guidance. Our highest recommendation."
- Buyers Jimmy & Melissa"Recently Joe O’Hara acted as our buyer’s agent when we moved to the Washington, DC, area. It wasn’t an easy task as we didn’t know the area, but Joe took the time to show us all of the areas we requested. Additionally, he identified many, many homes for us to buy, and also responded to our many requests to see homes that we identified from a variety of sources. Always helpful, always patient, and always informative and cheerful. We could not have asked for a better agent, particularly since it took us so long to find and buy the “right” home for us."
- Buyers Pam & Andy"Joe is completely amazing, and we feel as though he always had our best interests at heart!! We have used him to buy a townhome, sell a townhome and buy a forever home. He got us a great deal on the forever home and sold our townhouse in less than a week. He also helped us with our landscaping a few months after moving in. He remains calm in a stressful storm and has been through it all. He also has a great title company to work with — definitely the best I’ve experienced! We plan on using him again without a doubt!"
- Buyers and Sellers Anne & Ben"Joe offered highly sophisticated insights into the art of the offer, which I know made all the difference in having my very first offer accepted in a competitive offer situation. Before I located my ideal property, Joe offered invaluable insights about each property we toured. Not once did he try to “sell” me a property; rather, he fairly identified the pros and cons of each neighborhood, building and unit that we viewed. I never once was made to feel as though I was wasting his time; he took full advantage of all of our encounters to learn more about my likes, dislikes and needs. (I learned a lot about these things along the way, too!) Joe is your partner throughout a process that, without him, I think could be quite stressful. Although ultimately the nature of (any) business is closing sales, Joe does not make his buyer clients feel any pressure to “hurry up and like something already.” Joe’s vibe is knowledgeable, professional, patient and friendly. (I missed him as soon as I closed on my condo.) Joe has refined taste; equally important, though, he does not push any of his particular tastes on his clients. Rather, he offers insightful observations about each property and then listens carefully to his clients’ feedback, which he masterfully incorporates into future discussions and recommendations. I practically will refrain from buying a pair of shoes without consulting with Joe O’Hara in the future. If he is willing, I will have him buy and sell all properties for me in the future. I feel incredibly lucky to have identified an agent of Joe’s caliber who I can trust to understand and look out for my best interests."
- Buyer Pam"Above all else, Joe is very trustworthy. And that is why I worked with Joe on the purchase and eventual sale of the same house. He is very responsive and polite. Joe has several years of experience and is very familiar with the whole process. I had to do very little as Joe and his set of contractors did the bulk of the work. I would gladly refer Joe to others."
- Seller John"Joe O’Hara not only knows the market; he knows the myriad of details and requirements for the sale of the house to go smoothly. We were traveling abroad during the open house and contract execution. We trusted Joe, and he took care of everything. Joe, thankfully, also kindly put up with my many nervous phone calls as we waited through the various inspections. Thanks to his support, the sale of our home exceeded our best expectations."
- Sellers, Elizabeth & Robert"Working with Joe was a pleasure. He did a fabulous job staging and photographing our house prior to the listing. The transformation was amazing! Joe's staging helped us close at $20k over our asking price. I really couldn't see the value in hiring a realtor prior to working with Joe, but he proved his services were worth the investment. Joe is a true professional who took the time to understand our needs and help us maximize our results."
- Sellers Joy & Doug"Joe was the consummate professional. He had several very viable suggestions which we followed. This resulted in the highest paid price for a home in the neighborhood. Joe was accessible, knowledgeable, and amiable. He also has a sense of humor, very necessary in the stresses of readying a house for sale and the purchase of another in another state and a condo in the area. We knew we could trust Joe. We highly recommend Joe to all our friends and relatives, and neighbors have requested his card to contact him when they are ready to move. Thank you to Joe O’Hara. Joe helped us in all aspects of the above. If we had questions, he was ready to answer them and help us understand in order for us to move carefully and judiciously, and successfully. He was right there with us from finish to end."
- Seller - John & Jane"Mr. O'Hara was pivotal in the selling of my residence. His knowledge of the area's real estate and values was important in the pricing of my residence. His suggestions and recommendation to get the residence ready for sale were valuable and helped get the highest value for the residence and sell the residence in the shortest time. Mr. O'Hara is pleasant, honest, friendly and helpful. He is the kind of real estate agent that everyone should deal with, whether selling or buying a residence. I cannot recommend Mr. O'Hara more highly — he is a terrific agent and a terrific person. Mr. O'Hara and Washington Fine Properties are the only agent and company that I would use to buy or sell a property in the future."
- Seller Judy"Joe O'Hara was a superb realtor to work with. Joe made the process of buying our first home easy and enjoyable. He went above and beyond our expectations. He has so much knowledge of this area that he was able to provide us with very detailed information about the areas we were looking to buy a home in. Joe was always accessible and somehow was always available to show us homes we wanted to see. He was detail-oriented and quick to give us updates that we seldom had to ask him about anything. Joe was so positive, funny and very easygoing. He always made us feel comfortable. And more importantly, he helped us find and buy our perfect home. He gave us great advice on how to negotiate for our home that made sense to us and we were comfortable with."
- Buyers Kam & Berhe"Joe was always available when we needed him. Whether for questions we had or information we had to pass along. He helped us every step of the way to ensure we knew exactly what was going on and what the next steps were. His friendly and kind demeanor made it all the better! I would use Joe again in a heartbeat, except he found us the perfect home that we expect to be living in for years and years!"
- Buyers Kathleen & Brett"Joe was an amazing agent to work with. Any questions we had, day or night, he was there with an answer, or an "I'll get right back to you!" He was fabulous, and we would use him again if need be!"
- Sellers Kathleen & Brett"Joe O'Hara was an excellent partner when purchasing my condo! From our first meeting, he was able to create an environment of trust. Buying a house is one of the most critical decisions in life, so you must trust your realtor! He had already worked with some friends in the past, so I had terrific references for him already. Joe is also very knowledgeable. He has been working in the DMV area for a long time, so he knows most of the neighborhoods and buildings. Every home tour was an adventure and a learning experience for me. He put together private tours, so I had the time to get familiar with the process and review each house carefully. Joe was also very skilled in helping me navigate the closing phase. DC is a pretty competitive environment, so you need a partner and a team around you who can act fast and help you make the best decisions. Joe is just awesome! I truly encourage you to work with him."
- Buyer Alvaro"I can’t say enough about her knowledge within the industry, particularly market trends and local buyer’s inclinations. She has high integrity and is very conscientious and tenacious, always keeping the clients best interests in mind. Our real estate purchase was a small transaction relative to the size of properties and transactions Joan normally handles but she treated me with the same professionalism and courtesies one would expect for a very large transaction. She is extremely responsive to questions, often responding immediately to phone calls, emails or texts."
- Pam D."Dinora did an amazing job in assisting us with buying a condo for my parents. Her expertise for the process and local market, as well as her responsiveness and negotiation skills are what helped us get the best deal. All of my friends were super impressed by what a great deal we got. The process was super easy with the loan officer and the title company and we closed very fast!!"
- Ludmila C.Kim is an excellent agent. She is well-versed in the process as well as the market in general. We trusted her completely and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell.
"
- Steven Brantley"Sarah is the absolute best at what she does. We have been looking for a housefor over a year and finally found the right one! Always there when you need her and perfect communication. 1000/10. Knowledgeable and amazing in every way."
- Kiana C.Five stars are not enough to rate the service received from Joe Lynch. I have worked with two other agents in the past, but neither can compare anywhere close to Joe. What a wonderful person, first and foremost! He is an absolute pro at his job, not once did I hear him say "let me find out the answer to that question," He went above and beyond to help me find my first home. He asked questions about my likes, dislikes, current plans, future plans, and then helped me determine the type of home we should look for. His work ethic is beyond impeccable: never ever late, always came to the location earlier to do a quick run-through before I got there, always brought a copy of the location's details for my reference. The standard of his work is something this generation definitely lacks. In addition to being a rockstar realtor, Joe has also become a friend and mentor to me. Joe is family! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything, Joe - words can't describe how much your support and guidance through this process mean to me! You are the best!"
- Oksana Davidyan"Annette is clairvoyant. After listening carefully to all our “boxes” to check in seeking a condo, she was able to perceive what would really excite us. New to the area and quite naive, we “thought” we knew where we wanted to live. But nothing grabbed our attention. Annette suggested we look at another town, a 15 minute drive away, one that we had never considered. She absolutely nailed it! We are now happily ensconced in our new home and couldn’t be happier. The entire experience for us took only a few hours over a couple of days, although Annette did a great deal of work on our behalf behind the scenes. In addition to applying her 6th sense about people, she employs all the important skills of a very professional realtor - knowledge, efficiency, negotiating skills and more - to represent her clients. Before and after the closing, she has stayed in touch to help us acclimatize to the area. I cannot recommend her highly enough. A prospective buyer or seller should put Annette’s number on speed dial. And P.S., I write this as a former realtor in a different state. So I’ve been there."
- M. S and S. L"I can't say enough good things about Annette Hinaman, our real estate agent for almost 10 years! She has consistently gone above and beyond to find us the perfect house - both when we were buying and when we were selling. Annette demonstrates an in-depth knowledge of the local market and always offers professional advice to get us the best deal. Her hardworking and friendly attitude make her a pleasure to work with. Annette is patient and reliable, and we trust her judgments implicitly. We are very fortunate to have her as our real estate agent and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."
- G.W and J.B"We truly believe we found the perfect partner to work with when we signed with you Annette. Your manner is a perfect combination of confidence, capability and understanding. We so appreciated your direction and advice, and truly felt like you were as determined as we were to have a successful process. We remain in awe of your wonderful roll-o-deck of dependable and efficient contacts - we had been waiting for our guy to paint the roof for years, and you got it done in days. Fantastic. We are very happy to recommend you to anyone in the market in the area."
- K.A and B.A"The market really sucked because of the ever increasing interest rates but Sandy came up with out of the box ideas to work with potential buyers which eventually lead to a reasonable/acceptable offer."
- William M."Sue Kovalsky was fantastic and would recommend her to anyone. She is very knowledgeable of the area and knows who to contact to fix any problems to make sure the deal stays on track."
- Joshua B."Sue was receptive, available. and supportive all the way through. The whole team is very organized and helped us stay on task up through closing."
- Aron R."Excellent communication, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional! "
- Amy S."Top notch! Seamless transaction throughout the entire process. "
- Caroline D."Betty was amazing when we had problems with our mortgage company! "
- Joyce C."Betty was a tremendous asset once again to our process negotiating a complicated closing and navigating us to a better lender for a faster and lower cost product. Always available and responsive."
- Steven A."Heidi is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! She is a true professional that genuinely cares about her clients. She was SO helpful and explained every step of the process and fielded every question and efficiently obtained the necessary information. I'm a huge Heidi fan!"
- Matthew P."We could not be more pleased. Julian Burke is a consumate professional and was outstandingly helpful as he guided us through the purchase process. We had a super fast close and he was ahead of us, leading the way, through each step. We are very fortunate to have had Julian Burke's assistance as we moved through our purchase and wholeheartedly recommend Julian Burke as a realtor."
- Ann H."I have done business with Kim Peele several times now and she is the best! She always kept me well informed and her attention to detail is superb."
- Jorge C."It was a pleasure working with Ami, and we are so grateful to her for her knowledge, openness and professionalism. My husband and I moved from Toronto to the Washington DC area with our two kids aged 1 and 4, and Amy was invaluable in helping us find a home within our budget and in an amazing school district. She had so much deep knowledge of the area, and took the time to really understand our needs, that I felt I could really trust her to help us find our next home. She continues to surprise us with her thoughtfulness by keeping in touch while we start a new adventure in North Virginia!"
- Dana Al-Dajani"From the time that Renneye came to our condo to talk with us, she gave us everything we needed and more. To describe our interaction with her can be summed up in one word; indefatigable. To say she went the extra mile is a misnomer. Renneye made it all possible as she has done with countless other clients. We can’t praise her enough. Her reputation in the Rotonda is outstanding and well deserved. I once told Renneye that if I asked her what time it was, she’d tell me how to build a watch; she is that thorough. Having us out of state could have produced some obstacles but she kept us alert to all facets of handling the sale. What more could we ask? HIGH FIVES ALL AROUND!!
"
"Babs Beckwith takes client service to a whole new level. She anticipates every step of the transaction and is ready with a solution to make everything go smoothly."
- G.W."Thank you, and also pass on our gratitude for how much Philip Armstrong assisted us throughout this whole process. We cannot say enough about him. He is professional, genuine, friendly, caring, and truly went out of his way to help and accommodate us. We started working with him probably eight months ago, and he met us numerous times at locations far away, to see houses, meet with builders, and eventually to see and purchase our home after we came full circle from wanting to buy land and build to deciding to purchase an existing home. Although I’m sure there are much easier sales to people with far larger budgets in this area, he made us feel like we were his number one priority during every interaction. We will be recommending him to anyone we know in the future.
We are beyond excited to begin this next step of our lives in such a beautiful home and neighborhood."
- Joseph & Farzana"We received outstanding service above and beyond our expectations!"
- Larry B."Elizabeth was great! She was responsive and eager to help us find our rental home. It was a pretty seamless process, once we were approved as tenants. She advocated for us and I'm pretty sure that's why it worked. She also helped us beat out other people for the lease -- priceless!"
- Gretchen McKay, 23274 Watson Road"Linda Murphy is the best real estate agent ever! As first-time homebuyers, we relied heavily on Linda’s expert advice and guidance throughout the process of buying our home. She took the time to get to know us and supported us throughout the process. Her professionalism, organization, and expertise made the experience enjoyable. She consistently went above and beyond to make sure we got the best value for our investment. She continued to support us after we closed on our house, helping facilitate renovations. Linda has our highest recommendation."
- Jessica H."Where to start….such an amazing and trustworthy agent! I never had a doubt, nor did I have to question anything at all. She broke everything down for me on buying my first home. Sharmane is someone you want to have in your corner and I literally mean it. Because she will go fighting for you toe to toe to get what you want and to make sure you are satisfied and comfortable with the home-buying experience! I would highly recommend her to anyone!"
- Anthony B"Working with Dinora was an amazing experience start to finish. She understood our situation and worked with us to provide options throughout northern Virginia working with us to find the right property. As first time home buyers there was a lot that we did not know but Dinora walked us through each step and provided us with great recommendations for anything that she could not do. We had heard how stressful and exhaustive that buying a home was but found it to be a pleasurable process from start to finish. I would recommend Dinora to anyone looking for a stellar agent that cares about you and what is best for you."
- Bryant F."...you were amazing and I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. You made everything easy."
- Sarah S."Lauren is beyond awesome! She went over and above and helped us with everything! Lauren didn’t just take care of the signing formalities. To start with she really understood what we were looking for and gave us tips and guidance. She did a virtual tour as well while we were still overseas. she took care of not just the apartment but our entire moving experience."
- P.S."McEnearney should be proud to have brokers who are so committed and kind and skilled as they do! Will definitely recommend!"
- Hannah E."Lisa is fantastic. She took the time to understand our needs and comfortability and helped us find the most amazing home AND the resources to keep it our dream home."
- Hannah E."Lisa was phenomenal and guided us as first-time homebuyers through the entire process. Answered all of our questions quickly even if it was late at night."
- Benjamin M."Outstanding and professional service. Karen made the whole process as easy, efficient and pleasant as possible. It was a joy to work with her."
- Susan P."Santiago helped us exceed our expectations with the purchase of a rowhouse in DC as first-time buyers. His expertise and guidance was paramount throughout the whole process. He is a great listener, client-focused, and an excellent real estate agent. Santiago helped us not only purchase a rowhouse in DC under asking, but also negotiated significant repairs (ie. a new furnace!). Santiago went above and beyond helping facilitate the repairs with the seller's agent in order to have the work finished before closing."
- Nat"Top notch, I wouldnt think of working with another agent."
- Sharon G."Outstanding service! Both Ann and Jennifer did amazing work and communicated with me about everything. They made the process a pleasure and because of their work the house sold the first weekend"
- Elma Levy"It couldn't have been better. I recommend Martha Floyd enthusiastically. Martha's willingness to help manage the 'fix up' of my home, made my experience a pleasure."
- Harriet J. H."Martha Floyd was superb and outright amazing. She calmed any trepidation or fears I had going into the sale process, answered my questions before I even asked them, and provided a comfort level unique to a business transaction. She knew exactly how to best position my property for an incredible result. The real estate market changes-Martha’s expertise remains constant through it all. My experience with her was absolutely amazing.
"
- Deborah M."Lauren gave expert advice and I plan to use her again!"
- T.B."Jean Beatty's service was consistent and highly professional. She was very knowledgeable and supportive on all the issues involved in relocating across the country. Her colleagues in the Jean Beatty Group were likewise discerning and professional. They are a superior team."
- Charlotte E."Renneye Pike was an amazing real estate agent, with a wealth of practical experience. She provided exemplary service to guide me through the transition from the last tenant, whom had left the unit with excessive wear and tear. She efficiently listed the unit and got it rented within a couple of days. Renneye is by far the best agent I have ever had the pleasure of working on my behalf. "
- G. H."Absolutely fantastic! Very patient and gave 100 % to find us a house in a difficult market."
- Donald C"Absolutely fantastic! Very patient and gave 100 % to find us a house in a difficult market."
- Donald C"If you are looking for a real estate team to help you be the perfectionist you need to be, to get every detail right, to answer all your questions, to help you arrive at key decisions, and to meet your needs with constant poise and professionalism, I encourage you to contact The Pierson Team (Daniel Pierson, Tracy Pierson)! From initial planning to final transaction, they helped me with everything along the way for two transactions (as a Buyer and as a Seller), and they even provided over-and-above support when I moved out of state. They understood my needs, listened well, always kept a customer-focused posture, and brought valuable insights and options to inform my decisions at each stage so I could proceed with confidence and peace of mind.
The Pierson Team's advice and understanding of the market were spot-on. Their availability and responsiveness kept me well-informed at all times. Thank you, Pierson Team, for outstanding service once again! You serve your clients so well! "
- Steve H."I would recommend JaneEllen wholeheartedly. We'd used her in the past to put our townhome on the rental market, and this year to sell our home before an overseas move. Both times she provided excellent service, even going the extra mile to fix a few minor things for us after we flew overseas, so that we could close on time. She helped us secure a great price and buyer for our home in a market that was starting to crash, and communicated with us regularly through the process- an ocean away! Highly recommend her."
- Alice Gillispie"Bob went above and beyond in all ways. He helped me move my belongings to a storage unit (providing the truck and muscle), re-homed all the furniture I was not able to find a home for, obtained bids for painting and inspected the work, did paint touch up, cleaned (even windows!), examined the settlement statement like a hawk for errors, acted as my attorney-in-fact since I could not be present for the closing, and performed other services that I have forgotten because they were so numerous. Really, it's hard to imagine a way that Bob could have been more helpful. Everything was volunteered cheerfully with no implication that I was imposing.
I would recommend Bob without hesitation to any friend needing an agent."
- David S., October 2022"Felicia Cook did a great job as my agent. I felt very comfortable talking to her about my concerns and the kind of apartment I wanted, and she did a great job of finding me the right place in the right neighborhood. I didn't have to go back and forth to explain things to her because she already knew exactly what I wanted. She did a lot of work behind the scenes talking to the landlord and the management and getting us all the information we needed to move in. Ms. Cook had already taken care of a big part of the moving-in process. I didn't get the impression that the person I was talking to was just waiting to close the deal. Ms. Cook is also very familiar with the area, its surroundings, and the commute, which was important to me because I don't drive and have to rely on public transportation every day. I would highly recommend Ms. Cook to all of my friends, I'm sure you won't regret your choice."

- Sean D."My husband and I worked with Colleen Wright through our homebuying process, and could not be more pleased with her service and dedication to her craft! She is exceptionally knowledgeable and thorough. Through countless open-houses and appointments she helped us by asking questions that we didn't know we didn't know! Additionally, her friendly demeanor and delightful sense of humor made the process all the more enjoyable!
"

I’ll be recommending Kerby to everyone I know. Appreciate all your amazing help again Kerby! Fantastic job!"
- Dee N."They have been good partners from start to finish (and even after, as I have navigated life as a new homeowner).

- Andrew S."Mark was simply a pleasure to work with and very knowledgeable about the neighborhood."
- Laurie M."I had a wonderful and successful experience working with Felicia. Felicia is extremely knowledgeable about the housing market, and worked very closely with us throughout our entire search process. She was always quick to respond to any questions we had and quick to bring potential matches to our attention, and when we found a home we were interested in touring, she was able to quickly get us into it. Felicia’s experience and knowledge about the market made our search process so much smoother and eliminated a lot of the stress that often comes with finding a new home. She was a pleasure to work with in general, and I will highly recommend working with Felicia to all of my friends and family who move to the DMV area in the future. "

- Michael and Melissa P."Professional, hospitable and always quick to answer any and all questions. 100% perfect."
- Jill K."Niki communicated well and made sure that we were able to close on time. I
would refer either of them to friends and family! [...] Great follow-up and representation from Niki!"
" Niki went above and beyond what we have experienced with previous agents. She was positive, supportive, and knowledgeable. I trusted Niki 100% throughout the process."
- Liz M."Absolutely excellent. Very professional, yet personable and attentive to our needs. She advised on and oversaw minor repairs, worked with us on removal of personal items, and sought our advice as needed. She sold it in 4 days on the market, for above my original idea for a listing price."
- Peter F."Niki was awesome. Super patient (I know I had a laundry list of criteria that the units needed to fit) and always willing to help and show units."
- Kevon T."I appreciate all of your extra efforts getting the information I needed for taxes. There was even an estimate amount for the addition. Thank you!"
- Jeri O."Thank you, dear Betsy, for all your kind assistance in the various moves. It was a pleasure working with you - I also learned a lot about real estate!"

- Bea S."Betsy - Thank you so much for your sage advice and sticking with me! Seemed like (was!) a bit turbulent...who would have guessed but maybe you are better at guessing!"
- Jen S."Robin was amazing! She’s very experienced and competent, and represents “your” interests throughout the entire process - nothing slips by her. She was always available. We moved out, gave her the keys, and she did the rest. She coordinated and supervised whatever needed to be done - repairs, cleaning, hauling, etc. The contractors she recommended, were super responsive - met with us immediately (same day or next day). She kept all on track for a swift and efficient sell. It was a pleasure working with Robin."
- Anita"My agent had a very high standards of professionalism, the information provided on the process was very valuable, and the communication on strategic points to help with the home buying process was really helpful"
- Reyna V."Sharmane is the best! We have both purchased and sold with her. She will walk with you every step of the way."
- Benjamin S."We gave Jen and Micki the keys, and they did everything else. We signed a contract for sale the day after offers were due for a handsome price with no contingencies. "
- Ruth Chamowitz"Sue's attention to detail were exceptional at every point throughout the process. This, along with her thoughtful and consideration interactions, made the entire experience outstanding. I think it's rare to feel ease when you're buying or selling a house, but Sue went above and beyond to ensure that the process was as seamless as possible. "
- Karen Sodomick"Marysol is absolutely terrific. I had worked with her previously, and I could not be happier to have worked with her again. She works tirelessly on behalf of her clients. No question/concern is too small for her. She explains everything very clearly and helps her clients make the decisions that are best for them. "

- Andrew L.James went above and beyond to ensure we bought the first house of our dreams. He works extremely hard for his clients and we felt very lucky to have him as our agent. 10/10! We are very impressed James was able to get our offer in by the deadline and accepted all while we were out of the country on vacation. Amazing work. "
- Molly L"What a pleasant and phenomenal experience working with Sarah!
As we started our search for our new home, we knew that we wanted to stay in our immediate neighborhood.
We are extremely happy and grateful that Sarah represented us in both buying and selling our homes.
Our journey was long and discouraging at times. However, Sarah was always there with us with her optimism and fearless grit.
Thank you to Sarah's limitless energy and attention-to-detail, we are happily settling into our new home and neighborhood.
If you need a solid realtor who is willing to go above and beyond to represent you and your family, Sarah is your agent of choice!"
"I had a great experience with Katia Reecer and McEnearney Associates. My husband and I reached out for help looking for a rental as we were new to the area, and McEnearney responded immediately (other agencies we reached out to never followed up). We were asked a series of thoughtful questions about our needs and were then paired with Katia. I cannot say enough good things about Katia! She was responsive, communicative, and patient. She is so knowledgeable about the area and is passionate about helping people find a place they love and connect with. She took the time to listen and really understood what we were looking for. I would 100% work with Katia and McEnearney again, but she found us a great place so I think we’ll be able to sit tight for a while!"
- Alex M." Sharmane was a tireless ringmaster providing all the guidance and control needed to manage the three-ring circus that selling a home has become. She was instantly available and responded to our questions and concerns on a nearly 24-hour basis, even while on vacation. She was very patient with us as well as friendly and made us feel like one big family. Our grandkids attended the closing for the sale of our home and when they saw her, they ran to her for a hug. I could not have been more pleased with her professional service."
- Paul C."Marysol is a great agent and provided a superior level of service. She made sure we had all of the information we needed and was very responsive to our questions. She went with us to open houses, contacted the seller's agent with our questions, ran comp analyses, and provided guidance so we could make the most informed decisions possible."
- Chelsea F."Tom Natali was absolutely fantastic during our process"
- Ana N."Our agent, Kathy Alvarez, provided excellent service on the recent sale of our house. She handled the lead-up to the sale and the negotiations in expert fashion, all while maintaining high ethical standards. She was fantastic throughout the process!"
- Theodore V."We just completed the sale of our house in Old Town Alexandria - the 18th such buy or sell transaction we've had the pleasure of working with Charlene Schaper over the last 30+ years. It couldn't have gone more smoothly or well! Charlene is the consumate professional agent. She's totally knowledgeable about buying and selling from the legal, financial, structural and emotional aspects of the process and is a joy to work with. We'll never use another agent!"
- James Searing"We couldn't have asked for a better realtor than Jen Walker when we sold our townhouse recently. She has the patience of a saint as she answered all of our questions, of which there were many. She was a Great Advocate in helping us wade through the intricacies of a complicated situation. She was there for us every step of the way. Jen went above and beyond all measure and fought to bring us a most successful sale in a very short time. It is people like Jen that make all the difference with life's little challenges. We highly recommend Jen Walker to anyone looking for a realtor that will go the extra mile and provide that extra support. "
- Barbara G."This was my husband and I's first experience buying a home, and 'wow' did Bob impress us! He helped us through every step of the process from sending over initial readings on buying a first home, walking us through the process, putting in the offer, helping with closing negotiations, and the final walk-through. He was extremely responsive and attentive which was really important given how hot the market is and how fast houses were selling! He was incredibly helpful with reality checks with each home to help us imagine ourselves creating a life there and allowed us to see the good, bad, and ugly which was sometimes easy to overlook when captivated by a remodeled kitchen. We truly valued his opinion on the condition of homes and pointed out things we'd never even think of! I can't imagine a better realtor than Bob. We are so happy in our new home! I can't imagine leaving....but when the time comes we'll be sure to have Bob help us find our next home. "
- Amelia T., June 2022Niki was very accommodating and patient with helping me find the absolute best place that fits my needs. Communication was excellent and she was always available to contact when needed."
"James is top notch. Full service is an understatement - he made the process so easy. Selling a home can be a bit overwhelming, especially in a hot market when you're anxious about setting the right purchase price. His advice was so valuable and spot on. I've known James for years so this is exactly why I knew he was the only person I would trust to sell my home, but even with my expectations set high, he still blew them away! "
- Michelle D."Outstanding service. The probabilities and possibilities at each phase of the sale were explained, so there were no surprises. Additionally, when work needed to be done in preparation for the sale, he helped with many things including painting and moving furniture (including loading/unloading a U-haul truck and two 5-hour round trips to Delaware), and did it with a smile. Also, his marketing strategy produced a sale, well above list price. Considering my wife and I have several moves under our belts because of our military careers, the assistance we received from Bob Johnson was the best we have ever experienced. That is not hype. He cares and it shows. That is something that makes it imperative to recommend him to our friends and family. "
- Tom and Renee N., June 2022"JaneEllen was great. She provided amazing marketing information for our house sale. We were out of the country during the open house and offering stage but she kept us updated the entire time. We appreciated the small touches and checking on the house. The offer was more than we expected and the entire process was super easy. She is top-notch personally and professionally!"
- Tracy Southard"Jerry was exceptionally professional, friendly, and knowledgeable."
- Anicka P."Lynn was extremely responsive and helpful. I couldn’t have asked for more."
- Joyce Mader"Chris provided service beyond my expectations. This is our 3rd transaction with her and she is beyond amazing. Smooth from first meeting to closing. "
- BJ"The level of service we received from Jean was excellent. She went above and beyond to help us get the right house. Every call, text, and email was answered quickly. Every viewing we asked for was attended. Whatever was important to us was important to Jean. Her experience, integrity, personality, attention to detail, and professionalism made our home buying experience a pleasure. When you are buying a house, your realtor’s experience and negotiation skills are critical. Jean was a champion. I highly recommend McEnearney Associates and would definitely engage them again. In a tough market, Jean and her colleagues skillfully navigated and negotiated our purchase, enabling us to get the home we wanted. We are both impressed and completely satisfied."
- Linda M."When we decided to move back to the DC metro area my wife and I called the realtors (Kim Kreeb/Stacy Hennessey) we used to sell our home almost a decade earlier. Kim and Stacy make a great team (complement each other well) as well as being professional, very attentive and also fun to work with. Since we were living in another state they put in the extra time to pre screen properties with us via Facetime. Their attention to detail (by knowing what we were looking for in a house) allowed them to quickly point out important details (e.g. ceiling heights, etc.) while touring the house that we might not notice on a Facetime call. Always prompt to respond via text/email, their attention to detail like writing a clean contract, establishing a line of communication with the selling agent (Kim went out of her way to attend open house to meet selling agent) made our offer stand out among many competing offers. We would highly recommend Kim and Stacy to anyone looking to sell or buy a house in the DC area."
- Mister D"Absolutely excellent. Very professional, yet personable and attentive to our needs. She advised on and oversaw minor repairs, worked with us on the removal of personal items, and sought our advice as needed. She sold it in 4 days on the market, for above my original idea for a listing price. What else can I say?!! "
- Peter F."Mr. Bullock was very professional and knowledgeable in real estate and today's market. In addition, he always had patience with me. He answered all of my questions, this allowed me to select the right home for me and sale of my home with little worries."
- Tracy F."Bob is an outstanding agent who really went above and beyond for the recent sale of my rental condo. He not only advised on needed updates and repairs, but personally helped research and recommend an appliance package - then arranged to be there to take delivery and oversee the installation! He also personally made multiple repairs (such as fixing molding, cleaning light fixtures, and even painting an air vent) that would have cost me significant time and expense to hire someone or do them myself. After all this, he was able to get a fair price offer for the unit before it was even listed on MLS. I would definitely recommend Bob Johnson to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Arlington area!"
- John M., May 2022"Shirley Mattam-Male took great care in finding and securing the right home for us. She has an impressive knowledge of the current real estate market and was highly attuned to what we were looking for. She is a professional who cared for us as a friend."
- John"Sharmane and her skills, expertise, and tenacity are the reason why I am a happy and confident brand new, first-time homeowner! When you choose Sharmane to help you buy a house, you're also inheriting a giant team of absolute rockstar professionals that have home-buying down to an art form and will do what it takes to win. I felt informed, and empowered throughout the whole process. Sharmane is an incredible communicator and truly advocated for me and my wants/needs in this space. Sharmane is the best and 100% has changed my life. I cannot recommend her enough!"
- Anastasia C."Thank you! Bob was extremely helpful, thorough, and efficient in helping me find a my new home. He is very knowledgable of the area and provided great advice."
- Jessica O., May 2022"Wow, great job Bob! Thank you so much for everything that you did from cleaning the condo, to painting, hauling stuff out, and ultimately selling the unit at a great price. We are very fortunate to have you as our agent, representative and friend. Thanks again!"
- Jen S., May 2022"Wow, we can't say enough about working with Katie this year to purchase a home. Not only were we dealing with a challenging and competative market, we were overseas in different countries, different time zones juggling our own busy work schedules. Katie and her team were oustanding, immediately responsive via phone, text or email when any questions or concerns popped up. She made a stressful situation seamless and we closed much quicker than we anticipated. She has a wealth of knowledge and is a joy to work with. Thank you Katie!!!"
- Irvin and Jessica Martinez, Ashburn, VA"Bob was simply an outstanding agent to work with on my rental property. He was deliberate, meticulous, and thorough in his approach to marketing the property and ensured every aspect of the listing presented a first rate appearance. Additionally, he consistently provided an in-depth understanding and analysis of the current market conditions in order for me to make the most informed judgements regarding pricing, and terms for applicants. His expertise allowed me to attract and sign a high quality tenant for a long-term lease at a great price. I wish I had Bob working as my listing agent for all my rental properties. I strongly recommend him to anyone who is looking to list their property for either lease or sale."
- Steven F., May 19, 2022Kevin handled everything for me, which was so helpful as I am living out of state. From finding tenants for the place to prepping the house to sell. He was thoughtful, diligent, and incredibly responsive. "
"Hilary is so great to work with. She's so quick to answer all our questions and I cannot believe we sold our house for the price we did."
- Anna F."Excellent. Karl went beyond the call of duty to make certain every little thing went perfectly."
- Catherine G."Ramona went above and beyond from start to finish. She still calls and checks in on me. No matter what time I sent an email, text, or called, she always answered. This was a very smooth transaction and I was not stressed at all. She handled everything and kept me up to date on the process. I couldn’t have asked for a better person or done this without her. She’s a ROCKSTAR!!!!"
- Marita B"Karl is a true professional in every way. He sold my home and helped me to purchase a new one. His knowledge, wisdom, and advice prevailed throughout both very successful transactions. "
- Nona J."Excellent service, efficient and very cooperative. She is superb!"
- Sanaa S"Outstanding. Lynn Hoover is a true professional who excels at customer service."
- Jennifer Chaggaris"Chris Pritchard did an amazing job selling our house. She made sure every detail was covered, kept us on track, and did a beautiful job getting us the best offer. Chris knew just when to list the house for maximum exposure -and then how to handle/navigate through multiple offers. Truly a skill!"
- AW"Professional, excellent listener, patient."
- Gillian Backus"Sandy is the best in her field!! I have used her services 3 times already! She is super excellent!"
- Eva B."Joan was excellent to work with and truly knows what she is doing. She has her pulse on the market, is well respected, and most importantly truly wants the best for her clients. She goes above and beyond in ensuring every detail is accounted for, which makes the world of difference in buying and selling. The Reimann Group were wonderful to work with and a true team. Communication is huge for us, as it was lacking with prior realtors and they really stepped up in ensuring we had all the information needed every step of the way - along with being heard through the entire process. Again - I do feel Joan, Mina, and Colin all want what is best for their clients and will work to achieve that. We could not be happier with our experience."
- Sara DoyleProfessional, hospitable and always quick to answer any and all questions "
She understood what we needed and made sure we were well represented. Niki communicated well and made sure that we were able to close on time. I would refer her to friends and family! "
"Words can’t truly describe the way you guided me through the process of selling my first home. As a seller that was trying to close a deal over 500 miles away, one can only imagine the obstacles I had to go through. Kevin calmed me down and guided me to the finish line and eased all my concerns. You were not only my Realtor through this process but also my trusted guide. Thank you so very much for making this daunting task more bearable. "
- Alphinia M."Bob started out as our realtor when he helped us buy our first townhouse back in 2019 and has quickly become a trusted friend. Without hesitation we went with Bob again when we recently moved away from the area and needed to rent our townhouse. We signed a new tenant that we’re extremely happy with all within 3 days of the listing going live! Best ways to describe Bob as a realtor would be trustworthy, dependable, knowledgeable, sincere, forward thinking, efficient, and thoughtful. I haven’t met a harder working agent. Through both experiences, purchasing and leasing our experience with Bob was consistent no matter what his commissions may have been. In fact Bob went above the standard duties of a lease listing to get our home leased quickly. Top it off, Bob came by the week our movers were packing our house and dropped off lunch as he knew how busy we would be. Even our two boys love Bob! Don’t hesitate, you can’t go wrong with having Bob on your side."
- Stephen L., April 2022"My husband and I were very appreciative and satisfied with Kevin as our agent. There were many factors that were beyond his control, we had setbacks but he understood what was going on and gave sound advice to us and was always there to express his concerns, opinions while providing the comfort of his knowledge and support."
- Rosemarie & John"Absolutely top notch. Lots of attention, great follow up, personally checked on progress of renovations we needed before sale, referred me to great service people to fix up house, great advertising. She is the best agent I’ve ever worked with in buying 5 properties. We got 40percent over ask, which I never dreamed we would. I can’t thank her enough. "
"James is so knowledgeable about the process making things very efficient. 10/10"
- James R."Sandy Chee has been!! a super excellent agent to work with! I have worked with her 3 times already and all were excellent customer experiences! I fully trust her approaches and follow-ups! McEnearney had very prompt and excellent administration as well!! Congratulations on a great partnership!!
"
- Eva B."I interviewed multiple realtors to help me sell my family home and I selected Dinora because of her fantastic communication skills, savvy marketing ability, and engaging energy. Now that we have finished the transaction I can add that Dinora was true to her slogan "With you every step of the way!" Dinora leverages technology to keep her clients in the loop and responds quickly to any question or issue. Her photographer is outstanding and she knows how to get a listing to shine. Even though I'm in a different state than the house I'm selling, I always felt that Dinora was a proactive, knowledgeable and friendly guide to this entire process. Very highly recommend Dinora, thank you so much!!"
- Christina"Kate gave us the information and confidence we needed to find our home in an an intense and fast-paced market. As first-time home buyers we had a lot of questions, and she was always there with answers and support even after our offer was accepted through moving day. "
- Julie W."The level of service that Mark provided was EXCELLENT! I really appreciated Mark's availability, expertise and speed. "
- Thomas C."My husband and I recently had the good fortune to work with Yolanda in connection with our purchase of a condominium unit in The Colonnade, and it was a pleasure from beginning to end. In addition to being a really lovely person, she was always responsive, prompt, professional in her approach, and good at finding solutions to bridge gaps between seller and buyer. She is excellent at what she does, and should I have the need for a real estate broker again, I would welcome the opportunity to work with her again."
- Vicki F.James was amazing. He was insanely responsive, helpful, positive, and just an excellent guide during this whole process. "
"Excellent and exceeds our expectations! James and his team were responsive, efficient, professional, and just overall fantastic! He truly had our interests in mind."
- Ee-Sunn"The selling team of Jerry, the title company, the law office, and my friend formed a very effective unit. In the end, the selling process Jerry orchestrated was most productive. Everyone involved was very professional. In my opinion, Jerry's communication skills, knowledge of the area of the property, market expertise, and attention to detail streamlined the entire selling process. For marketing, I thought Jerry's on-line presentation of photos - both inside and outside - nicely presented the property. I believe the team decision to sell the property "as is" was the best decision, and the final sale figure was very favorable. Moreover, to be able to carry out the settlement process at a distance was a real bonus."
- John K."Niki went above and beyond what we have experienced with previous agents. She was positive, supportive, and knowledgeable. I trusted Niki 100% throughout the process."
- Elizabeth M."Perfect is not enough to describe Lauren. She went over and above the call of duty. "
- Mostafa E."Yolanda was a pleasure to work with. She was very attentive, informative and helped make the process go very smoothly. I recommend her without hesitation"
- Homebuyer in Washington, D.C."From the moment I had reached out with a rental inquiry, Yolanda was extremely quick to reply and her grace and promptness never wavered. In less than 24hrs I was shown the property yet I never felt rushed while viewing or felt pressured to sign until I was confidently ready. In every area of the process, Yolanda was exceptional and her team was extremely efficient. I could not have been more pleased and will proudly refer Yolanda"
- Rental Client"I've dealt with about 5-6 realtors, and out of all of them, Sharmane was the best. She was there to answer all of my questions, calm me down when I was in a panic, and just be there by my side. Sharmane knows that I will be the first one asking for her to be my realtor. If you want to have a streamlined house selling process with someone by your side, Sharmane is who you want as your realtor."
- Shevonne P.Shar is completely trustworthy and such a go-getter. Whether you are a buyer or a seller, she will fight for you and your interests. My process was so smooth, and as low-stress as home buying can be because of her!"
Our agent Marysol was excellent. She was very attentive and involved from the get-go. We believe that it was her expertise and proactivity paired with her ability to listen to our wants and needs for a potential home that led to a successful home purchase. "
"We had to sell our Rotonda condo from across the country (California), which made preparing the unit for sale especially challenging. Renneye's direct relationships with the Rotonda management staff made the preparation and sale process go smoothly. We never had to worry about not being on-site - she took care of all of it for us. Thanks, Renneye!"
- Fraser Street"The service that my wife Emily and I received from Lauren was exemplary. We can honestly say that Lauren’s assistance made the seemingly complicated and daunting task of being first home buyers, both easy and enjoyable. We can’t thank Lauren enough for getting us our first home. "
- Ryan H."Joan sold our home and we highly recommend her as her support, and positive personality led to a fantastic experience. Joan met with us well before the home went on the market and gave us good feedback in regards to what buyers were looking for and suggestions as to how we could prepare our house for sale. She continued to be very “hands-on” and was present and involved during the assessment, inspection, closing, etc. This was particularly helpful as we were out of state during part of the sales process and felt very comfortable knowing she was involved. Definitely recommend her and her team to anyone looking to sell or buy a home."
- Dave Dillard"If you are looking for a realtor who not only knows the market, but one who truly has your back, look no further. Joan is amazing! She sold our house in one day and secured us a home-of-choice contingency to relieve some of the stress we were feeling to find our next home. She then worked tirelessly to find our dream home. Thank you, Joan!"
- momx4"Many thanks to Joan, she did an excellent job overall! Joan brings a lot of experience and positive energy. She showed us many properties. I am impressed by her enthusiasm, warm personality and strong work ethics."
- Selim Necdet Mimaroglu"Joan was such a game changer!!! We had a terrible experience with another agent and took our house off of the market. Fast forward a few months and with a couple of very minor investments, our house sold quicker and for more than we could have imagined! She was also so fun to work with, bonus!"
- Jacquelyn McVey"I was a first-time home buyer - bought it 1 year ago in March with limited knowledge on the whole house buying experience. I can’t say it enough how amazing it was having someone like Joanie on my side. Not only did I walk away with a DREAM first house, but it was a steal of a deal! Because of the amazing miracle work, Joanie was able to do, my offer, which was 15k lower than the highest offer still won out because she knew exactly how to structure the deal. Trust me when I say there is nobody better to have on your side!
Whether it’s your first home buying experience like mine or you’re a tenured pro, you can do no better than Joan Reimann. Thank you so much for all your help!!"
"From start to finish - FIVE STAR experience with Joan and Mina!
We were very fortunate that Joan found us while we were looking for our home in northern VA. She helped us find the right house, in the right neighborhood, and for the right price.
Joan and Mina exceeded our expectations! They are very mind, knowledgeable of the market and communities for fair pricing, future resale, inspections, schools, etc. We felt very comfortable with Joan and Mina that we were able to "window shopping" from a distance through their online recommended listings. They were both immediately responsive to our questions which helped us list a handful of houses to look at while we were in NoVA.
Once we found the one, Joan and Mina guided us through every step of the way to ensure that we are very happy with our future home - an appropriate offer that was well within our budget, timelines to meet for a smooth purchase, and even a long-distance closing during the COVID-19 experience that caused a few hiccups.
Joan and Mina were there for US! We would and will recommend Joan and Mina to anyone in the market to purchase (or sell) a home. We will also look to Joan and Mina when we have any future real estate needs. We were very impressed with Joan's and Mina's professionalism and their genuine interest in assuring we were very satisfied with our home!"
"Joan is a real estate agent that has your best interest in mind. With our family moving to Virginia very quickly, Joan helped our family get the best deal on an outstanding house in a great area. During the entire process she and her associate Collin Banks were readily available with answers to our home buying process. It’s rare to find such accommodating service in a professional field. I will be recommending Joan and/or Collin Banks In the future for home buying."
- Lauren Bergamine"My wife and I just recently purchased a home in Virginia while living in Los Angeles. We had a short timeline in a fast-paced market and with everything going on with Covid, I did not see this being an easy process by any means. I was stressed and woke up dreading the time we had to start looking for our new home.
However, it was nothing short of a dream. Joan helped in every way possible and was very happy to do so. It was one of the most streamlined experiences we have had. And again, this was during Covid-19 when people started flocking away from city life in search of homes with more space and more bang for your buck. Houses were coming off the market daily.
We flew out to look at houses for one day due to time restrictions and work. Due to this, we had a jam-packed schedule of looking at multiple houses in various areas. We were instantly greeted with smiling faces and a well-planned schedule. Despite going from one house to the next, there was never a single time I didn't see Joan smiling and willing to talk to us about our goals and thoughts on the area. Nothing was rushed and we felt like our time mattered and was important. Time was taken to look at all aspects of the homes. If anything seemed off, Joan brought it up even if we didn't see it. We were in a city very unfamiliar to us and yet it started to feel more like home as she would explain any and all aspects of the town and surrounding areas to us. Honesty was important to Joan and very much appreciated by us. We loved the fact that we didn't feel like we were working with someone who was just trying to get paid, rather actually cared about us and our future home.
Once we got back home in LA we figured we would need to buckle in and be very hands on. We were prepared to fly back and forth from LA to VA and started scheduling that out. However, that wasn't necessary as Joan made every effort to make us feel at ease and comfortable with the purchase. Any issues that came up were instantly brought to our attention and it was willingly handled by Joan and team in person. That aspect alone made this process as stress-free as possible and it allowed us to focus on the actual move itself.
We were in constant contact with Joan. Any updates were brought up quickly and any questions we had were immediately met with a response.
Joan, thank you for your candor, professionalism, kindness, and knowledge. This wouldn't have worked our or have been as smooth as it was without you. Everything you have done for us is so very"
"Joan - thank you, thank you, thank you! As first-time home buyers, we were overwhelmed and didn't know where to start. However, Joan walked us through the process, never left any questions unanswered, and was very responsive. With Joan's expertise and honesty, we looked at a few houses before we found a townhouse in Reston that was perfect for us. In a market that moves quickly, Joan helped us write a strong offer that won over several other offers, and we were still able to have a home inspection. Joan went above and beyond to help us find the place we will call "home" for many years to come. We cannot recommend Joan enough!"
- Kayla Zellmer"Joan is an expert at navigating the real estate market in Northern Virginia. Her experience in the area allows her to quickly identify the strengths and weaknesses of each location. I used Joan's services for home purchasing, and one of my needs was for a home that did not require any significant repairs, and would not for some time after purchase. On top of her own experience in identifying red flags, Joan has a network of contractors that she leveraged to make sure I could have confidence in the home I purchased.
Joan was always available for house hunting and also was happy to spend time walking me through each stage of the purchase process. She explained the things she looks for in the market, pluses, and minuses on each house, and thoroughly explained every document before I signed it. Even though she works on commission like all real estate agents, Joan never rushed me to close on a house. In fact, she oftentimes encouraged me to hit the brakes, step back, and make sure that I was making the right decision.
From start to finish, a five-star experience."
- Tim Clancy"I worked with Joan as a first-time home buyer in a very competitive market. She explained everything every step of the way and came up with the best strategy when I finally found the right home. You can definitely trust Joan and her team to guide you through the process of finding the right place for you."
- K Dunn"We worked with Joan to sell our townhouse and purchase a single-family home, all during COVID, with high-risk twins under a year old. Where other realtors were stumped, Joan was creative and helped us create a plan on how to buy/sell while maintaining the social distance we required to keep our kids safe.
Her knowledge and experience of the real estate market allowed her to execute her plan in a calm and confident manner that kept our stress low during a pretty stressful period. She was so accommodating and understanding to work around our hectic schedule with two babies in tow.
Joan wrote such a strong offer on the home we purchased that we were able to make a pre-market sale! She helped us stage our townhouse to make it ready for market and we had an offer above list price in the first day!
I would highly recommend Joan and her outstanding team to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. She has shown that no matter what the situation, she will help you figure out what’s best for you and how to make it happen!"
"I worked with Joan on my third home purchase, and my husband and I have never had such an amazing experience with a realtor. Joan went above and beyond to make sure that my husband and I had no issues buying a home from across the country. We were only available for a single weekend, and Joan ensured we saw every home on our list, and made sure we were moving in the right direction each step of the way. She and her team worked to ensure that we closed with zero issues- and we did not have to fly back to VA a single time! My husband and I hope that she stays in the industry for the next thirty years when we decide to sell our home!!"
- Emily Moran"Working with Joan was fantastic. We were first-time homebuyers looking for a home in a super competitive market in NOVA, and Joan's connections and doggedness helped us land our dream home after only a couple of weeks of looking. Joan is very communicative and available despite her being so in demand, and we were totally impressed with her throughout the process. Highly recommend!"
- Chris Thompson"My husband and I worked with Joan to move from out of state when we needed to quickly find an apartment, then she helped us find our first townhouse, and a few years later our first single-family house. She is responsive, honest, and one of the hardest-working people I know. We have recommended Joan to many friends and will continue to!"
- Lisa Carnevale"My partner and I bought our first home with Joan. She got us an off-market house in one of the most competitive real estate markets in the country at a price we could afford. She had excellent advice about what schools and neighborhoods we would be happy with and we ultimately ended up in the neighborhood she recommended. She is also very sophisticated at writing creative offers to give you the best chance to win while still protecting her clients. Just phone Joan!"
- Tim"Wow, where to begin? My husband and I started our house hunt at the height of the pandemic real estate craziness due to needing to get out of our rental house within the next few months. Joan and her team started out by explaining the whole process, hooking us up with a great mortgage broker that worked with our personalities, and getting us set up with MLS access to see what was on the market, coming soon, and what properties were sold at.
Throughout the whole five-month process of looking at houses, touring houses, and putting in multiple offers, Joan stood by us and assured us it was not us or our offers, but that the market really was that crazy. She was always available to answer questions via email, text, or phone. She gave great advice on what would make our offers stronger and was just as disappointed as we were when they were not accepted.
Finally, we found a house within our budget, in our ideal neighborhood, and with everything on our need list and a few things on our want list. She negotiated our offer to include an inspection contingency (which, in this market is almost unheard of), which we were thrilled about. After making seven offers on houses over a time period of several months, we finally got an offer accepted and Joan was as thrilled as we were!
Once the offer was accepted, Joan continued to advocate for us during the inspection, close period, and even after we closed. I could not have imagined a better person to go through this grueling process with. (In fact, this is the second time she has been our agent, as she sold my husband's townhouse and helped us find our rental.) I would absolutely recommend anyone looking to buy, sell, or rent to contact Joan immediately. She really made the process smooth, comfortable, and way less terrifying than it could have been!"
"Joan and her team seamlessly handled the sale of my property, from beautiful staging to the negotiation process. I was blown away by how amazing the photos looked after everything was staged. It gave me peace of mind to know that she was so responsive and detail-oriented. Joan truly cares about her clients and will go above and beyond with all your real estate needs."
- Emily Chen"Although I came to know Renneye Pike for a little over a year ago during my search for a rental unit at the Rotonda, I quickly realized her many qualities, both as a real estate agent and as a person: she was thoroughly professional, quite knowledgeable about her business and the area, surprisingly prompt in following up on my many inquiries, and above all, genuinely caring and courteous in responding to my concerns as a first-time renter.
Thus, I would readily and gladly recommend her services to anyone in search of a results-oriented realtor in Northern Virginia.
"
"First, I consider us very fortunate in having Renneye as our agent in managing the renting out of our condo in the Rotonda. We live on the west coast, making the identifying of tenants, preparing the unit, and navigating the Rotonda policies a complex task. In recent months and on multiple occasions over the years, Renneye made this process much easier for us. Clearly, she is a knowledgeable and experienced real estate professional, however, what stands out is her support even after the unit is rented and “the completion of the formal broker agreement”. She is an amazing resource and her “chief cook and bottle washer” approach has been a lifesaver for us. For example, we recently had to make significant upgrades to prepare the unit for renting. Renneye guided us through the repairs, identifying workers, and ensuring the quality of the work. On more than one occasion, she personally purchased appliances, materials, and whatever was needed for the work and responding even on weekends and evenings."
- M.Bensimon and A.Diaz"Philip was phenomenal! Is always accessible, works tirelessly to get you answers, and our home was his priority. Very highly recommended."
- James W."Sarah Fox went above and beyond for us as we navigated buying our first home. She was there every step of the way and helped explain everything to us and made sure we felt comfortable in the process. I would recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a home in the DC area!"
- Drew LeGrand, Fairfax"Attentive and knowledgeable. Kept in mind everything that was important to us and our time contraints."
- Diana Ramos"Felicia Cook made our experience renting a home much easier than it would have been otherwise. She handled our many emails, several "must haves", and a low winter/holiday inventory to help find a nice quiet home. Felicia was available to set up tours and was incredibly helpful in communicating with listing agents. With her knowledge of the area, we would be excited to work with her again if we have the opportunity!"
- Jamie P."Karen helped us both buy and sell our first home and I cannot say enough good things! From start to finish, she made us feel like her only client, always going the extra mile for us. When we bought our house, she was always available for last-minute showings, answered all of our questions, and helped us secure an amazing house that we loved so much. When we sold our home, she again answered our many questions, was constantly available to us, hired the most professional photographer, created the most impressive brochures, and ultimately helped us sell our house for much more than we expected. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, professional, and knowledgeable realtor, look no further!"
- Dylan Odonnell"A+ service! Jerry is the absolute best! There were 12 offers on our house and we're convinced it was the extra communication with the seller's agent and personal touch that Jerry provided that got us the house. Her knowledge of the business and years of experience were paramount in our search."
- Gabriela S."Kolleen is very professional and very pleasant to work with. She has demonstrated over and over her commitment to find the best tenants for my rental properties. She has informed me of any problem she finds in my properties needing repair. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a realtor to handle their properties."
- L.H Lawerance"Sarah Fox is exceptional. This was our second time working with her and she was just as professional and helpful as the first time around. Sarah is so kind and easy to work with. We appreciate her timeliness and care in helping us find a new rental. We know our landlords have been impressed by Sarah too, they have commented that she is among the best they have worked with. We are so lucky to have Sarah on our team and we look forward to continue working with her!"
- Dave N., Oakton"Heidi is incredible! She quickly earned our trust & confidence, going above and beyond to sell our VA home while we remained in CA. Her expertise, guidance, connections and leadership drove the best possible result for our property. I'd highly recommend Heidi -- she's a true professional and a pleasure to work with!"
- D. Learned , Alexandria, VA 22310"She was patient, extremely knowledgeable, and always had our best interests in mind. Over the three months that we worked together, she walked us through the entire process. We found our dream home at the Rotonda and she helped us realize what we need to prioritize. Thank you again for your help!"
- Sean"
I really can’t say enough good things about my agent, Renneye Pike. She is an experienced realtor - professional, thorough, and extremely knowledgeable about the Rotonda and the surrounding market. I needed work done in certain areas and she was able to provide references whom I contacted. They did excellent work. I was interested in getting the unit on the market as soon as possible and we accomplished that in less than a month.
While my unit was on the market, there was ongoing outside concrete work which meant that the windows were generally covered with blue plastic. COVID presented issues ranging from supply chain problems for large and small items to ensuring that Open House visitors observed appropriate protocols. Ms. Pike dealt with these and a variety of other issues with great capability and flexibility.
I appreciate all of Renneye’s hard work and always going the extra mile – working with Renneye was an excellent experience."
- K.H."Before listing our condo for rent, Renneye said "she was the one to get the job done" and she did. We appreciate her availability whenever there were questions and she provided us contact names for cleaners and painters. This was extremely helpful."
- James Feldman"Rengin did an absolutely superb job locating properties that might interest me, arranging for visits, and dealing with a (difficult) seller's agent on my behalf. She kept me constantly informed of what was going on and assured me that she would take care of issues that arose. She did. I could not have asked for a better representative"
- Geoffrey Chapman"I cannot speak highly enough of Mackenzie Horne. I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home, especially first-time home buyers like myself. Mackenzie was incredibly patient with me, taking the time to walk me through each step of the process, answering all my questions along the way, and breaking things down in a way that I could easily understand.
She is extremely organized, has a multitude of resources at her disposal, and will go the extra mile to get you the information you need. She was also very flexible, accommodating and scheduling around my work and other obligations. She took my calls in the mornings, evenings, weekends - always very responsive and communicative.
Lastly, and in my opinion, most importantly - she was always looking out for my best interest. She is truly genuine in her desire and efforts to find you a home that will make you happy. She was never pushy or forceful. She gave me her honest opinion and in the end saved me from purchasing a coop unit that had an unstable financial situation. It is rare to find realtors that will put your interests above their own - Mackenzie is a gem!"
"I was extremely satisfied. On top of having to travel from one end of MD to the other end of VA and all over DC to video condos for me as I am out of the country at this time, he had to do it during COVID. I would definitely use him for other purchases and refer him to anyone I know who is looking for an amazing realtor! "
"Martha was a tremendous agent and made an otherwise very daunting home buying process manageable and even enjoyable! She was always very responsive and happy to set up visits, and also served as an excellent source of information on the local market and the general home buying process. She helped us get a great house in an extremely competitive market, and has stayed in touch since the purchase to provide us info and support on navigating the challenges of first-time homeownership.
She always had a great attitude and I cannot recommend her highly enough!"
- Mark S."There was never any question about which Realtor we would work with when it came time to sell our home. Having observed Chris Pritchard in action around our McLean Province neighborhood, following her successful sales, and getting acquainted when visiting her at open houses, we knew that her professionalism, experience, and knowledge of the market would serve us well. We were not disappointed! Working with Chris throughout the preparation, pricing, and promotion process, which is her signature method, we relied on Chris’ instincts and contacts to transform our house of 20+ years into a fresh abode for another family to love and enjoy as we had when it was our home. Despite the challenges of the pandemic, supply line constraints, and a few surprises along the way, Chris remained calm and always had a ready solution. Chris and her team brought us through the entire process successfully, with friendly reassurance that all would be well. And it was! We deeply appreciate her counsel, guidance, friendship, attention to detail, and resourcefulness. We will continue to commend Chris to other prospective clients. "
- S&J"We gave Chris an impossible task. We had built a home, that we loved, three years ago; both for fun and for investment. We decided to switch high schools for our son and gave Chris the tasks to maximize the revenue out of our old house, use that money to buy a new house, find a downsized house that we could be passionate about, and find it in an extremely precise area. Not to mention, we had to close within six months and complete all of this in the middle of a pandemic. We said, “there is no way you can thread this needle, so we’ll be ready to rent.” She counseled, ‘not a problem’, and then got to work.
Chris sold our house in a weekend- - - at list price, orchestrated all the players to have us place an offer on the new house in time, gave us the resources to thoroughly review that house, acted timely to enable us to execute contingencies to walk away, and THEN leveraged her relationships to get a new house in front of us a day later…enabling us to have our offer accepted one day after that. All within 2 1/2 weeks. Truly remarkable.
Chris achieves the impossible through tenderness and grace. The reason we are in a new house that we love is because of Chris’ years of relationship building, thoughtful partnerships, and dogged determination to do the best for her clients.
We were blessed to have had the opportunity to work with her. We consider her a newfound friend whom we feel we have known forever."
- R&T"OMG. Night and day when compared to my previous agent before my wife and I contacted Stephanie. She has been absolutely amazing to work with. She communicates very well, listens to our needs and provides suggestions. As long as Stephanie is around, she will be our agent, hands down!!"
- Adam B."Stephanie was incredible throughout the process from beginning to end. Couldn’t have done it without her support."
- Lauren S."Stephanie was fabulous! Attentive, knowledgeable, responsive…
… For me, Stephanie Myers is McEnearney Associates.
"
"Stephanie was extremely professional and prompt whenever we needed her. … Stephanie guided us through the process and took time to understand what was most important to us…"
- Casey G."Stephanie Myers is absolutely outstanding! We had fantastic service start to finish."
- Liz and Joe G."We worked with Stephanie Myers, McEnearney Associates, in the spring of 2019 to sell our home in Alexandria, VA. Turned out to be a great decision with a fantastic result. In no time at all, the perfect prospect emerged, and in less than three weeks we were under contract and on our way. The speed behind the sale and the ultimate offer would not have been possible were it not for Stephanie’s work and specifically the time and attention to detail she put into marketing and positioning our house in order to find that perfect prospect.
Our not knowing what we didn’t know was never an issue as Stephanie knows exactly what it takes to sell a home in the market. Making the sale a little more complicated was the fact that we had vacated and moved out of town by the time it was listed. She was always anticipating what was needed before it was needed and nothing seemed to be beyond the realm of what she was willing to do to get it sold.
She’s adept with hand-holding her clients and took charge immediately while still being able to take our input where we had input. Stephanie made us feel like we were her ONLY clients and we will be eternally grateful for her efforts on behalf of our family."
- Bill and Tracy C."I had the pleasure of working with Stephanie to buy my first house this Summer. This was a brand new process to me and she was incredibly patient and thorough in explaining all the details of the home buying process. We had the interesting experience of not only trying to buy a house in a short sale (which unfortunately didn't happen due to an issue with the sellers' bank, but also dealing with a lien on a different property). In both situations, Stephanie did an enormous amount of work to ensure that I was protected and that the process was done correctly. Stephanie is incredibly hardworking and loyal to our clients and it is much easier going through the home buying process with someone like that by your side. "
- Anthony S."This is the first house we have sold and we were nervous and worried about the process. From the first day we met, [Stephanie] eased our concerns, made us feel comfortable, and treated us with the respect, concern, and patience of a longtime friend.
Throughout the whole process [she] held our hands, ensuring that we were making the right decisions, while also making sure that no one would take advantage of us. I am struggling to find the right words to describe how happy we were working with [her], but [she] made a scary and difficult process seem easy and fun. We will recommend [Stephanie] to all of our friends and colleagues that are looking to sell or buy a house and would not to think to use a different realtor if we end up buying a house in a market where [she] work[s].
"
"When we first met, my gut told me to hire [Stephanie]. I’m so thankful I listened! Every step of the process, there was no doubt [she] had our best interest in mind. [Her] care, compassion and professionalism are top notch. [Her] passion for helping others really shines through! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts."
- Katie and Jason H."Steph Myers is the type of agent everyone needs! Hand down, selling my home was one of the easiest transactions of my life and that’s all thanks to having one of the best agents in Alexandria. Not only was there peace of mind as she walked me through every phase of the sale - from staging, to showings, to final negotiations - but Steph was always reliable, honest and truly had my best interests at heart."
- Angela A"Stephanie’s knowledge, experience and commitment benefited us in numerous ways. Selling a home from a distance is a challenge but Stephanie made us feel comfortable and resolved any possible issues or barriers. Her guidance was essential to selling our home quickly at a great price. "
- Shaun M. & Chris B."I can’t say enough about Stephanie. She was with us every step of the way, even though we purchased a home in Fredericksburg! …Stephanie is positive, honest, professional, very knowledgeable thorough and highly responsive (even at some odd hours!). "
- Jana and Chip H."We received service that was above and beyond. It was like she was family. We had some stressful moments and she helped move us through those moments while making sure our situation didn’t fall off the radar. She only had our bests interests in mind - not hers."
- Patrick and Kristine K."It is an absolute pleasure working with Stephanie Myers. She is an expert on Alexandria and greater DC real estate. Her attention to detail and personal investment in each property is the key to her success. We had a unique situation where we were selling our home while being stationed in California (military family). Stephanie was proactive from the start and went above and beyond to make sure everything was in proper order for the sale. She recommended appropriate improvements to the property, oversaw the work being done, checked in regularly, and staged the house beautifully. Our house sold quickly with multiple offers and we couldn’t have asked for a better realtor."
- Stewart and Elizabeth W."I want to express my gratitude for Renneye's assistance in obtaining the lease for the seventh-floor apartment. She is always so knowledgeable & kind! I also wish to thank Renneye for serving on the Board, a position which probably gathers many complaints & few thank you's.

- Faye Butchy"I am so grateful to have worked with Shirley as a first-time homebuyer. She is incredibly knowledgeable, established in the area, and a joy to work with. She helped me understand the real estate market and the home buying process. She is a great communicator and was very responsive in person and by phone call, text, email, and even FaceTime. Shirley gave me the confidence to say “yes” to my first home!"
- Kathleen/Buyer"In late 2020 my wife (Patti) and I (Lou) contacted Shirley Mattam-Male to help us with the sale of our home in Virginia. Now I will tell you that in my life God has placed wonderful people in my path. This was no exception. From our first meeting I could tell Shirley wanted what we wanted. It wasn’t very far into our conversation and travel throughout the house and the outside that I discovered her love for God and His Son Jesus Christ. I mention that because I knew from the start that her love for her clients and brothers and sisters of God would be the driving force behind her dedication and commitment to her clients.
She walked us through the entire process and made recommendations for the home to get it ready. We, Patti and I, initially decided to discuss the options we were offered following our initial meeting. Time just kept going and we decided to put our faith in God that the person we had selected (Shirley) would do for us what we needed to do to prepare the house for the best possible outcome. We were not prepared to ask for more that the market would bear and it turns out Shirley’s heart was not only in the outcome for Patti and I but for the person who would be purchasing the house. Once again strengthening our testimony that God had sent her to us.
We followed her counsel on almost everything and it turns out we should have taken all of Shirley’s advice for the very reasons I outlined earlier. She was not extravagant in her requests. She knows that a well-cared for home requires upgrades that will carry it forward into the future. Again, looking at the new buyers needs as well as our own. She steered us in the right direction from beginning to end. I am so happy to say we now have a long-term relationship because of her kindness and deep concern for others. The best day and the saddest day was the day the house was sold. We lost daily contact with a special realtor and a beautiful person.
I want to thank my loving Father in Heaven for sending us an angel to act on our behalf. Thank you Shirley for everything."
"Sarah provided a very high level of service. She went far beyond the expected in terms of communication, timeliness, and availability. She secured precisely the condo we wanted at the price we had hoped for."
- Jim Williams, Rockville"The level of service we received from Judy was excellent. She is very professional, thorough, and always nice to interact with."
- Mary M."Chris is the best. We love her and would recommend her highly."
- GG"Shirley is fantastic! She is extremely responsive and well informed. I’d recommend her over and over. I’m so grateful that she helped me buy my first home."
- Shamrock/Buyer"Lauren did a great job keeping me organized and walked me through every step."
- J.O."Karen Stevens was wonderful! Couldn't have asked for a better realtor."
- Ashleigh M."Our plan was ambitious. We wanted to buy another house first, and then sell our current one – buy low now and sell high later. Friends recommended we ask Shirley to be our realtor. At our first meeting, we recognized her as a top professional. Better still, we sensed that we could trust her. And we were right. Our plan was less than optimum for a realtor, and the time of year did not bode well either. But Shirley took it on and did her best with it. Her best turned out to be exceptional. She led a select team which, as we came to know them, regarded her with as much esteem as we did. We can attest that if you seek assured success with real estate, you need to look no further than this charming lady."
- Mason"I cannot express how much we appreciate Chris and all of the guidance and support she provided to us. We know that we were successful because of her efforts. She is the best!!!!!!"
- JL"Jean was there helping us every step of the way- couldn't have done it without her."
- Connor B."Excellent service. Above and beyond expectations. James and team went above and beyond to make our home buying as smooth as possible. Every question and request was met promptly and exceeded my expectations. The process was smooth and James provided great insight. "
- Jessica B." Nancy made herself available at all hours of the day. I knew the moment I met her that she cares and puts her clients interest first."
- Yadira N."Gerry is so incredibly responsive, quick to problem solve and full of integrity. I have complete trust and faith in her professionalism and commitment to her clients. I can't say enough about how grateful I am for her. "
- Michelle R."We worked with Chris Pritchard to sell our house and she was extraordinary throughout the entire process. Chris went above and beyond to get our house ready to list. From advice on neutral paint colors for resale to introducing us to an outstanding stager, to providing referrals for everything from gutter cleaners to a clutter removal service. Chris was there to guide and assist us no matter the issue; big or small. The end result was three offers within 24 hours of our first showing and a ratified contract well more than the asking price. After ratification, Chris was in constant contact to ensure a quick and seamless settlement. We are so grateful to Chris for her professionalism, kindness, and expertise. We cannot recommend her more highly if you need a Realtor and there would be no other choice for us if we had another house to buy or sell in the area. Chris is a consummate professional, who clearly loves what she does, and is an absolute pleasure to work with."
- SL"My wife and I worked with Sarah Fox at McEnearney to purchase a condo in Rockville, Maryland. We were impressed with Sarah’s very detailed knowledge of the area, her responsiveness to our communications, and her timeliness in preparing & submitting documents to the seller. In less than three weeks, Sarah helped us find exactly the condo we wanted, negotiated a fair price, and we closed. Sarah is a star- we couldn’t recommend her more highly."
- James W."Working with Jane was incredible. She was so knowledgeable and helped us understand the whole apartment process. She sat us down and explained all the different aspects of the applications and helped us get all the documents we would ever need for an application together. She took so much stress off of our lives and without her, getting an apartment would have been so much more difficult."
- Holly M."Our experience with Jane was wonderful. She walked us through every step of the process, explained everything we asked in detail, was upfront about any issues, and was very responsive throughout. We highly recommend her!""
- Ana S. and Ryan C."Jane is so incredibly helpful and kind. She's very professional, organized, and gives great advice. She actually cares about you and helps find you a place to live, which was very evident based on my experience with her. You won't regret working with her."
- Mallory M.""Jane was great to work with when finding new tenants for my rental property. She coordinated multiple showings, did all the legwork checking each prospective tenant, and presented the information I needed to make a good choice. She was very professional and dedicated and helped me through the entire process. Highly recommended!"
- Don M."I just sold my home of three decades in only 2 1/2 days thanks to Mary Roberge, a true Real Estate Superstar in my mind! From the moment I first met with Mary to discuss her home-sale services, it became clear to me how much Mary engages with each client as if they were her only one. Mary instantly garners your trust, and her honesty and innate professionalism guarantee your complete and total satisfaction start to Closing. Mary maintains very detailed communications during every step of the process, at times Mary would give me the answer to a question I hadn’t even asked yet. She is that detailed and informative. A special talent of Mary’s is that she always listens, even better she never forgets. The resulting best-in-class success comes from Mary’s incredible command of the real estate market. That is further enhanced by her keen interpersonal skills to establish, drive and maintain a very real WIN-WIN association between Sellers, Buyers and all parties involved. If you combine all of that talent with endless unrestrained energy, that combination is Mary Roberge (Brixius). I cannot sing enough praises about Mary Roberge (Brixius)."
- J. Harrison"Karl is a pro on every level. He is kind, patient and calm. He guided me through the entire process with his insight and wisdom. "
- Nona J." It was so important to us as first-time homebuyers to find someone who would be patient with the millions of questions we had, candid in their answers, and unrelenting in their support to help us find our dream home. Mackenzie delivered on every one of our hopes and more.
A guiding light in the entire process, she took the time to explain every part of the process (her patience really shone through here) and made herself available for calls at any time— even when dealing with the time constraints an international seller posed.
Mackenzie continued to utilize her stellar interpersonal skills to put us in contact with the right inspectors and specialists to ensure each of our questions were addressed and took the time to build a relationship with the selling agent that proved very valuable when navigating the offer process. She was sensitive toward our risk-averse personalities but wasn’t afraid to be realistic in her suggestions for navigating such a competitive seller’s market, all while maintaining a genuine positivity we felt comfortable relying on wholeheartedly.
We entered the escrow period prepared with Mackenzie’s coaching and detailed communication with us and our mortgage provider. She was steadfast in her support as the period progressed and took the time to ensure all boxes were checked as we approached closing. Her detail-oriented nature ensured nothing fell through the cracks. We don’t know where we would be today without the steps she took to ensure we were on the right track in a complicated and stressful time.
As we close out the holiday season in a home we never would have imagined possible at the beginning of 2021, we reflect on how thankful we were to have had such an informed and brilliant mind in our corner through the home buying process. It is so clear that Mackenzie’s true passion is helping others, and we are so grateful for the time and friendship she provided us in the process and beyond"
- Tim and Maddy"I chose Renneye Pike as my realtor because I’d heard great referrals and her inside knowledge of the Rotonda. Renneye proved to have all the extensive information needed to sell my condo quickly. She is honest, ethical, knowledgeable, pays great attention to details, and is loads of fun to work with. I would highly recommend Renneye and would work with her again."
- B.D."Chris has been such a ray of sunshine, patience, and warmth in our lives as we've navigated this home search. She has been a friend, psychologist, and an outstanding, and honorable, Realtor and human!"
- RR"Bob did a wonderful job helping us navigate the uncertain market when we sold our condo. He was unfailingly patient and responsive, and only ever offered advice that was in our best interest. We moved out of town while our condo was on the market, and Bob continued to take care of everything on site, including coordinating with contractors and making sure the entire closing process happened smoothly. I unreservedly recommend Bob."
- Zyra O. - December 2021"It was a huge decision to downsize and sell my home after the death of my husband. Judy Radvanyi McVey eased my concerns and helped me throughout the process. She was knowledgeable in every area and was always available to answer any questions. She gave advice and assistance in downsizing and in locating the right people to prepare the house for sale. She works tirelessly and her goal is to make the seller happy. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a Real Estate Agent."
- Eva T."Outstanding! Everything was smooth. No hiccups. I felt supported throughout the experience. "
- Mary Sue R."Hannah was a good communicator, prepared us well, and walked us through the documents. We also discussed bidding strategies for this competitive market. We toured the home for the first time, bid and closed within 21 days! She was on top of the entire process and kept us informed. "
- Joanne & Larry"The level of service was off the charts! Kate went above and beyond so many times. She arranged repairs for the house, donations, staging, movers, so many things. Impossible to explain how helpful she was."
- Dennis P."Katie was amazing in the way she supported the sale of our house, which was made particularly challenging because we did it while posted overseas. Starting with all the information she provided us (without pressure) to help figure out whether or not we wanted to sell or rent, to the recommendations she made on which upgrades and fixes to prioritize, to the work she and her team arranged for us on the ground to get everything done, to fixing last-minute glitches with the homeowners association, to being online with us at all hours of her day to keep things moving, and literally being virtually “present” to ensure our closing was proceeding as it needed to, Katie provided the support one can only wish for from a real estate professional. She was extremely communicative, always on top of things, and very proactive with doing what was in our best interest. Katie and her team handled every part of our home sale with the utmost care and expertise. Our house sold very quickly and for the above-asking price. The upgrades she recommended were definitely worth the time and financial investment we made. We highly recommend her services, including for those who might be located elsewhere and selling (or buying) remotely."
- Kathrin Tegenfeldt"Joan has been an outstanding and a huge help to me. I felt pretty knowledgeable and confident about the buying process, so in my case, Joan felt like someone I could strategize and collaborate with in the buying process. We could not be happier with our real estate Joan Reimann with McEnearney Associates. She has been a tremendous help and I doubt we could have closed on our new house without her guidance and support through the process She has been a great advocate and helped us get the best deal possible. Now that I have bought a new house I am looking forward to working with Joan to sell my current house this spring."
- Donald E. Gibson"Very professional and efficient."
- Nancy Arroyo"Lauren was absolutely terrific. The best realtor. I had fired my previous agent due to poor service and working with Lauren was a breath of fresh air. She was thoughtful, caring, sincere, honest, attentive, and really worked hard and looked out for my best interests. "
- V.M."Unwavering commitment to superior service."
"Top-notch service"
- LW"Excellent customer service! Karen Trainor is very professional while making you feel comfortable and relaxed at the same time."
- A. Archer"Dinora was amazing! She helped me sell my first condo in VA. She was able to get 15k over asking and was patient with me throughout the entire process. I highly recommend anyone selling or buying a home to leverage her. Thank you."
- Mike C."Sharmane, our agent, was awesome. She walked us through the selling process step-by-step. She recommended updates and areas needing work in order to get the best offers. Sharmane’s experience, knowledge and negotiating skills made selling our house so easy. She answered our questions and provided feedback promptly. She was always accessible. Sharmane is the best! "
- Linda R."Bob started as our realtor but soon became a dear friend. We were moving to the D.C. area for a military move and connected with Bob through a friend's recommendation. To this day, we are so thankful that we were introduced to Bob. He found us a townhome that was not only in a great neighborhood but also very accessible to our work commuting needs. He is consistently several steps ahead of what your situation requires and never ceases to amaze with his forethought and preparation. He knows his stuff, and it shows. When it came time to sell our home, his excellence shined through yet again. Our only problem is that we couldn't take him with us to our new city, and we miss him. already."
- Emily G. - December 2021"Katie provided excellent service as our listing agent. She was very familiar with the neighborhood where we were selling our town home, and made solid recommendations for improvements prior to listing that would appeal to potential buyers. She helped us settle on a list price that would allow us to achieve our goal of selling quickly. Throughout the process of listing the home through open houses to evaluating offers, Katie always ensured we received ample communication. She worked with us to set up meetings around our schedule, and let us know when we needed to make decisions quickly. She offered sound advice as we negotiated with the buyer regarding requests tied to the home inspection. Her familiarity with what was typical in terms of addressing or declining requests from the buyer helped us move quickly through the counteroffer phase. She brought in colleagues and service personnel as needed, and made the process of addressing necessary repairs or updates very painless. We were pleased to work with Katie, and would certainly work with her again in the future!"
- Nancy Peters"We switched to Mackenzie as our agent after a rough start on the market, and she hit it out of the park! She was extremely responsive, creative, offered real solutions, and went above and beyond the call of duty to sell our house. She made calls where others didn't, didn't cut corners, and even put in some elbow grease. She was very easy to work with remotely as we had already moved, and we knew that our house was safe with her. She is kind, but honest, and helped us resolve a few issues with the house that would help us get the offer that we wanted. She knows what buyers want, what adds value, and what doesn't, and is well connected in the real estate market, contractors, and beyond. You can tell that she is someone who takes pride in her work and cares for her clients. Closing went very smoothly to boot. We would certainly recommend her to anyone!"
- C. Norris"I found JaneEllen to be highly professional and helpful along each step of the way in selling my condo. JaneEllen was quick to respond to all of my questions and to the ever-changing real estate market. Her suggestions along the way were thoughtful and she did not hesitate to seek advice from other professionals, as needed. JaneEllen was calm, knowledgeable, and creative as she worked to sell my condo within the time frame that was best for me. I highly recommend JaneEllen Saums for your next real estate need. It was a pleasure working with her."
- Beth Kraemer"I want to give a shout out to Katia who helped me make my dream of living in the heart of Old Town Alexandria a reality. Despite everything going so quickly we landed on an awesome place and I am so happy. Thank you for your responsiveness and effort!"
- Nicholas E."The service received from Nicole was stellar and top notch. She took me to all homes I was interested in seeing. Nicole also reviewed every document before sending it to me to sign. Nicole answered all questions and even anticipated some questions I didn't think to ask. "
"So great! James was a wonderful guide to the home-buying process (we were first-time buyers). We felt very comfortable expressing our wishes (and fears) and James worked well to address all of them."
- Patrick L."James was excellent, always responsive. We particularly appreciated that he was willing to give honest and negative assessments to help think critically about our search. It was also great to have someone walk us carefully through the basics as first time homebuyers. "
- Benjamin F."Jane is so incredibly helpful and kind. She's very professional, organized, and gives great advice. She actually cares about you, and helping find you a place to live, which was very evident based on her contract & my experience with her. She's great, you won't regret working with her."
- Mallory M."Jane was our realtor during an incredibly competitive market. She was always very organized and took us to see houses as soon as they were available. My husband and I have busy schedules and Jane was very flexible with her schedule to accommodate us. We predominantly communicated via text and Jane was always very responsive and informative. She was constantly taking initiative to do research on properties for us (even if it wasn’t our favorites). We always had an abundance of information which helped us find our new house. Jane and her partner Jean were excellent negotiators and we were able to purchase our house for a great price during a “seller’s market.” On closing day, the title company attempted to cancel and push closing to another day. If this happened we could lose the house; however, Jane would not let that happen. She convinced the notary to come to our house and Jane went out of her way to print all of the closing documents at FedEx for us. Working with Jane was an absolute pleasure and if we decide to move we would ask her to be our realtor again."
- Theresa and Matt H."Jane was a pleasure to work with. She was prompt and communicated very well. She was flexible with her schedule and was very on top of the market, especially for my needs. I would happily recommend her without any reservations."
- David W."Working with Shirley was an absolutely dream! We were referred to her by a friend after having a frustrating experience with a realtor from one of the big real estate sites, and we knew by the end of our informal intro call with Shirley that she was in a different league. Buying a house is complicated & exhausting & stressful, especially in a competitive market where it's almost inevitable that you'll get your heart broken at least once -- if not over & over for months -- but Shirley made the experience as easy on us as possible. She guided us through each step of the process with expertise and empathy; I always felt like she truly had our backs. I was floored by the amount of work that Shirley did on our behalf -- and how quickly she would do it. Whenever we expressed interest in a property, she would be on the phone with the listing agent in less time than it took me to type "Hey Shirley, can we see this house?" She also tracked down documents that we never would've known to look for, like the structural assessment report on a home that we hadn't even toured yet but she knew I was excited about. She always made sure that we had as much information and context as possible, which helped us immensely in making decisions. When it came to submitting offers, Shirley was always realistic about our chances, but strategic too -- she made sure we understood our options & helped us put together competitive bids, without ever pressuring us to go beyond our price range or make concessions that we weren't comfortable with. She was gentle in breaking bad news but always remained upbeat and encouraging. When we eventually did put down a winning offer, Shirley was just as helpful in navigating us through the maze of paperwork & money transfers that stood between us & getting the keys to our new home. Truly, we couldn't have asked for a better partner in the home-buying process."
- Kubetin/Buyer"Excellent customer service! Karen Trainor is very professional while making you feel comfortable and relaxed at the same time."
- A.Archer"Jean has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She was so patient with us and we never felt pressured. She knows the market very well and was able to ensure we secured the house we wanted on the first offer. She took calls at all hours of the day and night and truly provided first-class service. We will recommend Jean to anyone wholeheartedly!"
- Katharine D."Outstanding! Martha is the consummate professional, strongly recommend her services."
- Franco Neto"Joan is extremely professional, she knows the business, she cares about her clients and really takes care of the issues removing a lot of the anxiety that goes with the process of selling and moving houses. Couldn't be more thankful."
- Maria Diaz"Ann, is the best that you can find. She is really on top of your listing and makes you feel like you are her only client."
- Rial C."Ann and Karl were great. Very knowledgeable and always available. Sold our house in one day."
- Fred Helton (Seller)"Bob Johnson is truly the BEST!!! Bob provided us concierge service that went far beyond anything we expected or previously experienced as seasoned buyers. Mindful of his time and the crazy market, Bob accommodated our requests for expedited showings which were sometimes the next day, often midweek and in the late evenings. He was extremely patient and kept us encouraged when we felt like we were running out of options. Most realtors would’ve cashed in the sale, but Bob reminded us of our desires instead of letting us settle. He even helped us find our jumbo lender and insurance provider who were just as great! Before we put in an offer, Bob spoke with other homeowners to find out if they had any neighborhood concerns. His knowledge on state codes and keen eye for quality and workmanship really helped put our minds at ease. While we were waiting to close, Bob made calls to the county code compliance office and even met with fence contractors on our behalf. After closing, he gave us a nice supply of fire extinguishers, batteries for the smoke alarms & HVAC filters. Even greater than all the services above, he offered his friendship. We HIGHLY recommend Bob Johnson Realty and will always send referrals his way!!!
"
"Phillip was above and beyond the call of duty in every conceivable way. We hadn’t had a real estate transaction in 36 years and he guided us through the intricacies with knowledge, skill, professionalism, kindness, patience and humor (the last being completely essential). He has an amazing way with people that is rare to find these days. We appreciate his efforts on our behalf to the nth degree. "
- June B.""Thanks again for making this apartment search enjoyable and entertaining. You didn't cut corners and your honesty was a breath of fresh air. I truly felt like you were looking out for my best interests.
Thank you for helping me."
"
- X.B. 11/15"We contacted Jean Beatty about a year before we actually purchased a home when we first started looking into buying. She patiently showed us houses while we got a feel for different neighborhoods and never put any pressure on us to make offers. When we were ready, she helped us secure a house on the first try. She knows her stuff and many of the local agents which we believe made our transaction go smoothly. She answered our texts and calls at all hours of the day and night and was extremely proactive in helping us with every last detail of the purchase. I would strongly recommend Jean for a customer-focused, knowledgeable service."
- Katie D"I gave Sharmane 5 stars because I couldn't give her six. Upon first meeting Sharmane, I knew we would work well together. Me being new to the DC area and Sharmane working as my realtor in buying a condo in DC, she was available to either answer my questions or research any questions I had and have a response back to me very quickly. She coordinated all the closing arrangements and we closed within a month. It could not have been any smoother. I really appreciate all her work in making my transaction so seamless. I would completely recommend Sharmane to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in the DC, VA, MD area. "
- Mark L."Phillip receives our highest possible kudos for his help as we were buying a small condo recently. He reviewed every document and was able to save $7,000 off the purchase price of the condo because the seller neglected to provide information about an upcoming expense we would have to cover. Through the entire process Phillip was thorough, professional, smart and fun to work with. We would unhesitatingly use him ourselves and recommend him to anybody in search of a fabulous realtor."
- Dan D."Mackenzie is so wonderful! She is the most professional, responsive, organized, detail-oriented, and kind agent we've ever met! We love how she always thinks for us and puts our interest first in our house purchase. She took the initiative to look for the house we wanted and helped us to get our dream house before it even hit the market! Before we met Mackenzie, we had been hunting for houses and making offers for almost two years but had no result, yet she was able to find us a house and get our offer accepted within a month we met her! It is truly an amazing experience and we are so grateful! This just shows how proactive and professional she is! She was patient in listening to our requirements and took the initiative to search for the house for us. We really appreciate that!
She was also very helpful during the communication process throughout the journey. We were able to get inspections done timely and communicate smoothly with sellers. She also offered us so many helpful insights about the neighborhood. Because Mackenzie has such a comprehensive knowledge of the market, extraordinary negotiation techniques, and pleasant personality, I highly recommend her as an agent!
I think one can trust her with the selling process as well because that's how we first reached out to her, through a house she sold! Thank you, Mackenzie, for your hard work during this process! We really enjoyed working with you."
- Grace & Patrick"Shirley and Ann were with us every step of the way through a long and, sometimes, trying home building process. They advocated for us during each stage of the building process and regularly interacted with the builder's agent to make sure that things were kept on track. When problems did arise, Shirley and Ann immediately made us aware and strategized with us on the best steps to take to remedy the problems."
- Woody/Buyer"Shirley was wonderful. She is so knowledgeable and concerned about the details. She advised us very well! She is also so lovely to work with. She is warm and respectful and also firm and realistic."
- Laura/buyers"Tom was excellent! He kept me informed throughout the purchasing process and was very responsive to any of my concerns. "
"Jean went above and beyond on all fronts. My neighborhood is abuzz with interest about Jean after they watched the great traffic and quick sell she got for us."
- Laura B."Amazing!"
- John B."Lauren was fantastic throughout the whole selling and buying process. She was responsive, attentive to detail, and went the extra mile to make sure that my house was the most marketable it could be. As someone that tried to take the easy way out, Lauren talked me out of not cutting corners and doing things the right way and I am grateful for it. It was my trust in her through the selling process that led me to put an offer in above the market price without having seen the home. I knew Lauren has a high standard and would make sure that everything was right before putting my name on the dotted line. She held that standard throughout and I could not be happier with the decision. The client-realtor relationship extends past the sale. Even AFTER we closed, she has been an invaluable resource in navigating the realm of homeownership and home improvement. She is quick to answer questions and provide recommendations, suggestions, and advice. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone who is looking to buy or sell in the DMV. The effort she puts in will make you thrilled with the results."
- S.S."Absolute perfection!! Kolleen kept me informed through every step of the process which meant a lot to me."
- A.Klein"Excellent"
- Betty Bellman Jean"Received excellent service"
- Jeffrey Shaw"Spot on!"
- John Bowman"I worked with Katia Reecer and she was an absolute pleasure! Once I found out I was moving to the area I contacted a few different realtors with little to no response, but once I found Katia she was quick to respond, so kind, and helped my husband and I find our perfect apartment in the city. Would highly recommend!"
- Rebecca D."I called Jane on a Thursday asking for a move-in by the next Wednesday. Impossible! Nope. Within a few days, I had done 10 house tours at times which were convenient for me, and planned with extraordinary detail. She was able to help us get accepted on a 2-day turnaround to the home we wanted. Can't recommend Jane enough"
- Al Z."Absolute, top-notch partner. Unquestionably our advocate, advisor and/or role-player whatever the situation called for. "
- William Y."Dinora Chacon is hands-down one of the best realtors in Northern Virginia. I highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling their home, especially if it’s your first time at either. Dinora helped my husband, and I purchase our “starter” home and then sell it five years later (for above-asking) when we were ready to expand. During both the purchase and sale processes, Dinora was honest, responsive, and professional. Her knowledge of the market and, in our case, the new build/construction process made an otherwise overwhelming endeavor seamless. Dinora also has a vast network of resources at her disposal that she leverages to help her clients. For example, when it was time to sell our home, Dinora recommended several competitively priced contractors for minor cosmetic repairs to increase the value of our home. During the repairs, I must have called Dinora a dozen times (including while she was on vacation in another country). Dinora patiently answered my questions every time, and on the rare occasion she didn’t pick up on the first ring, she called back the same day. Dinora’s business philosophy is to treat her clients like family, and it’s why she’s so successful. Clients choose Dinora again and again, not out of obligation, but because it’s an absolute joy to work with her. You know you are getting the best possible service every step of the way. Even after the business is done, Dinora maintains a friendly relationship with her clients without expecting anything in return. For months before we put our house on the market, Dinora provided me with market updates, so we knew the best time to sell. And when my husband and I decided to move out of state, with no clue where to start, Dinora put us in contact with a realtor she knew and trusted. I honestly could go on and on but will end with this. If you’re ready to buy or sell your home, reach out to Dinora this instant. Do not wait. You won’t be disappointed."
- A. Nelson" Niki Lang, is someone who I would like to highly commend for her professionalism and commitment to client satisfaction. While Lyndsi was on vacation, Niki was the person who took me to view properties including the home I purchased. She is a huge asset to McEnearney."
- Nita S."5 star service! Ramona was attentive, available and made this home buying process very smooth. She is a great agent, I felt comfortable and like I was in great hands. "
- Dawn C."Bob exceeded our expectations which is a challenging thing to do. He is very thorough, explains things well, kept us updated and a beyond helpful agent. He was also very accommodating with our busy schedules and moved things along at lightening speed. Bob’s knowledge of how to negotiate a deal that we were happy with was above and beyond."
- Kenneth & Alice R."Had a wonderful experience with McEnearney, and with Jean Beatty in particular. Selling our condo was such an easy process with Jean helping out! Highly recommend."
- Connor B."Mackenzie Horne was a fantastic real estate agent who was an incredible advocate throughout the process. She went above and beyond in every way throughout the entire process. We can not explain how much we appreciated her tenacity, compassion, and diligence, especially in a tough market where we went through a handful of bids before we found our home. And the McEnearney staff was great as well, they were always there to assist us as part of the team. We will be recommending Mackenzie to everyone we know"
- Benjamin Kamisar"Working with Dinora Chacon was effortless. She made the stressful time of selling our home much less so. She was helpful in explaining information and details throughout the entire process and even after closing. She was always available for any questions, the epitome of professionalism and very knowledgeable. We will not hesitate to work with Dinora again in the future and highly recommend her."
- Nancy P."Joan was unbelievably helpful, calm under pressure, creative in the way that she problem solved issues that arose during the sale of our house and helped us to get top price for our house of 20 years. She is a consummate professional. Joan Reimann was efficient, professional and knowledgeable. We couldn't have asked for a better agent."
- David Posz"Joan Reimann was spectacular. She went above and beyond to sell our house at top dollar. I would highly recommend her."
- Angela Posz"Absolutely the best to work with"
- RP"Chris was God-sent! She was just the right person at the right time. She is incredibly perceptive and very dependable. She knows her domain at an expert level. She corrected our path, took charge, and ran the show. Truly impressed. We just love her."
- FP"Excellent as always"
- Kathleen Abizaid"Everything was praiseworthy. Both agents represented our every need and advocated for us as sellers. In particular, their input was useful in determining the best offer of those received."
- Woody/Seller"Mackenzie was fantastic. Mackenzie navigated several nuanced and challenging situations with offers and within the contract, always advocating for us and leaving us really excited about the contract we ratified. She went above and beyond in every way throughout the entire process. We can not explain how much we appreciated her tenacity, compassion, and diligence, especially in a market where we had about 8 bids rejected before we found our new home. We will be recommending her to everyone we know!"
- Benjamin Kamisar"As expected she was excellent and very thorough!"
- Satisfied Customer"Excellent service: competent, timely, proactive."
- Cecelia Boggs"The service we received from our agent was outstanding. Since we had sold a house with them previously, we had a good relationship. They went above and beyond the expected to make sure the house was staged perfectly. They talked me through changes I did not want to make in the house for staging. They were 100% correct in their recommendations and I am glad I took their advice. It made all the difference in how the house looked. It was well worth the effort."
- Susan, Repeat Buyer/Seller"Jane combines elegance and style with incredible focus on the client's needs. As a builder, I find her designs and work ethic unparalleled and I will continue my work with her for years to come!"
- J Raphael"Jane exceeded our expectations and offered us the utmost in professionalism. She is attentive to detail, highly responsive, respectful of the buyers' wishes, and very pleasant to work with. These attributes, coupled with a sympathetic understanding of our fears about purchasing in a highly competitive buyer's market, earned our highest regard and she is by far the best realtor we have ever worked with throughout our 21 years full of military moves."
- Marisa and Stephen D."I worked with Felicia Cook to sell my home and couldn't have been more pleased! I received multiple offers the second day the house went on the market, thanks in large part to Felicia's incredible work. Felicia is the epitome of everything you could want in a realtor; she is well-connected, knowledgeable and professional.
Felicia met with me and listened to my goals. She toured the house multiple times and gave me many helpful suggestions on how to update my home. She marketed the house through emails, postcards and ads in local papers. She highlighted my kitchen as the “wow” factor and brought in a fabulous photographer to showcase my home online, which created much more foot traffic and brought in serious buyers. She also brought in a stager, which helped make it more appealing to a larger group of potential buyers. We had 16 scheduled showings in three days and Felicia was wonderful in keeping the transaction moving along and getting to closing in a timely manner. She was always available to answer my questions (and the buyers!).
Felicia’s likeability is what you want in someone representing your home to others. She is honest and hands-on (even doing some weeding and mulching of my back garden!), and she really helped to take the pressure off me. I had a great experience and couldn’t recommend her more!"
- Andy S."Karl was superb on all levels of the buying process! Karl is an outstanding communicator and truly listened to our needs in finding our dream home. He had comprehensive knowledge of the local market and mortgage process, but our personal compatibility made the experience enjoyable and productive! I will highly recommend Karl to colleagues, friends, family and neighbors. "
- Heather N."Mary Beth was very personable. She provided excellent feedback, regularly updated me, and provided resources as needed. She knows the area and market well and made selling the house stress free. "
- Diane"Excellent! Would highly recommend, the customer service was above and beyond. "
- Alan A."If you are looking for a realtor, you cannot find a better agent than Mackenzie. Mackenzie is a thorough, committed, caring partner in the home-buying process and she truly does everything she can for her clients. She patiently explained every step of the process, answered calls and emails at all hours, and advocated for us fiercely in the bidding process. She found new properties for us based on our search criteria (listed or unlisted!) and served as a knowledgeable, savvy navigator of the market. She is so kind and empathetic, and her compassion complements her business skills exceptionally well to create an incredibly capable partner in what can be an overwhelming experience. There's no one I would rather have on my side than Mackenzie Horne."
- Shelby Lopez"Tom was great and easy to work with. As first time buyers in a market with such high demand, he never lost hope and was very patient with us. We even changed our strategy a few times and despite taking us longer than expected to find the right home and having a few setbacks, we never felt pressure to settle on anything we were not sure about. He is very nice, attentive, easy to reach and always eager to answer all our questions, which was greatly appreciated. Highly recommended. "
- Beatriz S."I've worked with Sharmane on four real estate transactions over the last seven years. In my most recent sale, she negotiated an offer of 63K over listing with no contingencies and a free rent-back. She (and Chris) successfully facilitated 32 showings over three days plus 25 groups in a two-hour open house, which brought in 11 strong offers. I didn't handle a thing. Real estate and homeownership is one of, if not the largest investment many of us will make. You want someone on your side you can trust and Sharmane is that person! "
- Seller"Josue is the best agent I have ever worked with. I have bought 6 other houses and was very nervous about being in DC, but he was on top of every detail, extremely patient, and provided excellent advice and direction at every turn. "
- Mark B."Our home purchase experience with Jerry was great. Jerry was always very responsive to our questions and concerns during the buying process. She was knowledgeable and always professional, organized, and personable. She clearly communicated everything throughout the purchasing process, which was very helpful in choosing the home that best fit our needs and in navigating the buying process."
- Sevda and Keith Aleckson"Awesome!!!!"
- N.D'Cunha"Sandy was the consummate professional. She helped us navigate an at times difficult market as an advisor, ally, and friend. She was always responsive when we had questions, no matter how small. She also brought keen insights and a strategic mindset to our
property search and purchase."
"Excellent."
- Shala Gharemi"Excellent"
- Michelle Cann"Lauren was great through the whole process! She did an amazing job of keeping us organized and on track and provided excellent advice for every tough decision we had to make."
- C.M."Excellent, thorough, very communicative."
- Margaret J."Joan and Mina were great, we were looking for a house for about 4 months, we would often schedule to look at one house per weekend based on our search requirements and they did all they could to accommodate us. They would talk through the pros and cons of houses with us, for hours sometimes. They really wanted to make sure that we got the best house for our needs."
- Rebecca and Carlos A., Broad Run"Outstanding service. Joan is the best at her craft. I’d never work with anyone else, although her partner, Collin, is great, too. There aren’t enough superlatives to describe Joan’s awesomeness. I appreciate her every day."
- Jennifer S., Arlington"Beyond 100%"
- Pat D., Alexandria"Chris was super; very helpful and steady as a rock when the closing on our purchase got pushed a day. Her stewardship helped us close in time to move to our pied a terre while the contents of our family home were heading to SC."
- LC"We had a great experience with Chris. She made the whole process work seamlessly and was very professional. She helped us sell a beautiful home and became a true friend through the experience."
- KAC"There aren’t enough words to describe how wonderful my experience with Barbara was!! THE BEST!!!!"
"Barbara Patton was AMAZING! She made the process easy and fun. She is interesting and I truly enjoyed spending time with her. More importantly, she is a true expert in real estate."
"Barbara is a true professional with years of experience that shows in her work. Her comments and suggestions have helped us a lot."
"Ann treated my wife and me like family. We felt completely taken care of through the entire home buying process. Ann was always available to provide us additional insight or express her opinion on our purchasing options. She was a great steward of our investment and wanted us to find the best house possible. I'm happy to say that we found our dream home."
- Colin May (Buyer - VA)"The agents were great, ann McClure and Carlie ross. Led us through the process with integrity, handled the case complexities with grace. Always pleasant, answered all questions promptly, foresaw problems, efficient and kind. Very grateful. Highly recommend."
- Sandra Keith"Extremely satisfied: we valued her level and breadth of experience and appreciated the way she stayed on top of problems and her ability to put individual concerns into our self-interest context. With this house, unlike our earlier house selling/buying experience, we were flying much more in the dark and depended on her judgment and advice, and her contacts among contractors."
- Philip Keith"First Class Agent!"
- Nicholas B."Amazing service! Kelly was knowledgeable, friendly, supportive, and attentive. She made sure we always knew the next steps and what to look out for. Kelly was a pleasure to work with. "

- Lindsay P."It all went very well. I am very pleased with the whole experience. You guys do a great job!"
- Darren H."We worked with Sandy Chee from McEnearney on a recent townhome purchase. Sandy was the consummate professional. She helped us navigate an at times difficult market as an advisor, ally, and friend. She was always responsive when we had questions, no matter how small. She also brought keen insights and a strategic mindset to our property search and purchase.

- Ann M" "
- Arranged for everything on our time, making it easy to continue working from home while also organizing appraisers, photographers, floorplanners, and eventually showings at the house
- Helped us sell the home in less than 5 days, with an above asking price offer
- Helped identify a closing agent who could work with me remotely/virtually when closing conflicted with a long-planned vacation out of the country
- Moved and donated unsold furniture on our behalf
- Even purchased and installed a stair railing on his own, when the one installed was determined to be insufficient the day before closing
- Fallon & Kenneth DWe can’t speak highly enough of Karen Stevens! We were first time home buyers and knew very little about buying a home. Karen guided us perfectly through the long process. She tirelessly searched for many homes until we found the right one. She was conscious of our price point and specific needs and never pressured us to make an offer, we felt she truly cared about our family and wanted us to be happy with our purchase. She had an amazing eye for detail and looked for potential problems or added features that we wouldn’t have thought of. Karen not only had a great knowledge of the market, but she had a knack for decorating, flow, and quality of construction. She was quick to respond and very attentive to us. She felt different than other realtors we met through the process - she was warm, sincere, and honest. Never pushy, preoccupied, or salesy. Karen became a friend through this process, and we will highly recommend her to anyone looking for an agent!
"Rengin is a very dedicated agent. She keeps her client informed at all stages. She is sincere and works diligently to get you the best results. She is knowledgeable. She does an excellent market research to come up with the right price. She was kind and caring enough to help me prep my home for sale in just 3 days. Thank you Rengin. You are undoubtedly the best!
"
"Nora was patient, attentive and answered all of our questions, from start to finish. In a particularly difficult market for buyers, especially as a first-time buyer, she really was our advocate and steered us in the right direction but never made us feel like we weren't in control. She was always willing to answer our questions and go the extra mile at any time--in fact, the home we ended up buying we put in an offer early on the fourth of July weekend. "
- Anastassia K."Kate Hennigan was absolutely wonderful to work with - she made a very difficult process easy. We so appreciate Kate’s patience and honesty during our search, as well as her attention to our preferences. I cannot speak highly enough of her and our experience of buying our first home with her. "
- Virginia B."Kate is the best! She was patient and was always there to assist and answer all our questions. "
- Josh R."Sabina was fabulous! She was great on all counts. I have nothing negative to say and would highly recommend her to anyone asking about an agent in the area. "
- Mary M."5 stars across the board!"
- Laura A."Jane was very professional, knowledgeable and wonderful to work with. Very quick to respond to any question or issue. Would love the opportunity to work with her again!"
- Cooperating Agent"James and his team provided outstanding service and were always responsive to all questions and concerns. In particular, I appreciated their marketing strategy, as well as their staging and presentation, which resulted in a timely sale and a good price. James was the perfect agent to sell my unit."
- Alper T."Nora and occasionally her colleagues were quite flexible and open to seeing a wide variety in numerous properties along our journey year to purchase our house. We can’t say enough great things about them! "
"Extremely high level of service from Karen was great to work with and answered all of my questions, and always kept us moving forward to get to the end goal!"

- Manochehr Bahavar"Ann provided an excellent level of service helping me get the house I wanted."
- Stephanie Leach"5 Stars"

- Kevin Fitzpatrick"Martha Floyd is such a pleasure to work. Her knowledge and attentiveness kept things flowing smoothly through the entire process. She truly goes above and beyond. Thank you!"
- Carolyn Moskowitz"Martha has helped me twice now, both as a buyer agent and over the past few months as a seller agent. I cannot emphasize how wonderful she is. She does her research and is a real expert on the Northern Virginia market. Her insights helped me navigate some stressful situations. She is incredibly responsive and helpful. I could not have asked for more!"
- Khang Tran"When I started working with Martha, she quickly became more than just a real estate agent-- she became a friend. And as a friend, she was deeply invested in helping me find the best home for me, and in supporting me all the way through the buying process. 2020 was a challenging year to be buying a home, but Martha helped make it all work out."
- John Karasek"Working with Martha was great. She was always available, knowledgeable, and supportive. We appreciated this now more than ever in such a competitive and slim market. We also appreciate that Martha never pushed us and let us be us while always seeming to have our best interests in mind."
- Jeremy F"Martha helped us buy and sell our home. Knowledgeable market expert and very responsive. Would recommend."
- Andrew Starr"Working with Martha was wonderful. We started looking during an unusually hot seller's market. Homes were going fast, sometimes in less than 24 hours after the listing. Martha knew the market and many of the other agents. She was knowledgeable, communicative, straightforward, and available whenever we needed her. She was a strong advocate for us and a cheerleader whenever we were feeling down or frustrated. She encouraged us to look at many places so we could learn what our & quot; must have" features were, what features (or lack of features) we could live with, and what features we absolutely did not want. She viewed our buying experience as a journey and gave us ZERO pressure to reach the end. In short, we would absolutely use her again and not only recommend her, but recommend her with great enthusiasm."
- Robert Burns"Martha was a tremendous agent and made an otherwise very daunting home buying process manageable and even enjoyable! She was always very responsive and happy to set up visits, and also served as an excellent source of information on the local market and the general home buying process. She helped us get a great house in an extremely competitive market, and has stayed in touch since the purchase to provide us info and support on navigating the challenges of first-time home ownership.
She always had a great attitude and I cannot recommend her highly enough!"
"I was referred to Bob from a trusted friend and agent before moving into the area. From the first contact, Bob was nothing less than the most helpful and sincere agent we have ever worked with. He listened to what we needed in a home and he thoroughly explained the differences in the market we were looking at. He was completely correct, we never expected a market to be as quickly moving as we found, but Bob was there every step of the way to guide us. We planned a house hunting trip and after meeting with Bob to pin down our likes and what areas, he took us on a journey of homes. We traveled several hours daily over the next few days and saw a variety of homes. Once we found our next home and had to return to our previous location, Bob continued to go above and beyond. He stood in for us on a local level and continued to move our sale forward while dealing with a sale that was going through a relocation company. He gave us sound advice from years of realty experience and guided us in every step of purchasing our new home. He went above and beyond in making this challenging purchase and I highly recommend him as an agent."
- Scott E.- Aug 2 2021"Mark, you have been an excellent partner during the entire buying and selling process. You would lend your expertise while listening to our questions and concerns. Rather than feel as though we were being led, we felt as though we were collaborating with you every step of the way. We feel truly blessed to have you as our Realtor. "
- Zedekiah and Brandee Worsham"Sharmane is a fantastic agent! In the middle of a super-competitive buyer’s market, her techniques were crucial in getting our offer accepted. Plus, as first-time homebuyers, she was incredibly helpful at explaining every single step of the process along the way. She did a great job and we look forward to working with her again in the future!"
"
We were in the real estate market and were incredibly fortunate to have found a star agent like Hannah. She has been invaluable due to her wealth of knowledge and solid work ethic. She has been steadfastly professional and always kept us informed and on top of everything we needed to do. With Hannah's support, we felt very comfortable and confident in our decisions. Also, during challenging negotiations, she has proven to be formidable by controlling the situation for our benefit. Hannah has been instrumental in our success in real estate, and we look forward to working with her again."

"I would hire Niki in a leadership position over and over again and recommend her for anyone looking for a strong leader. She is self-motivated and I can’t see any team not getting significantly better with her as an addition. "
- Brent K."Niki is resilient, tenacious, and intelligent. She will achieve whatever goal she chooses to put in front of herself. She is someone I would always want on my side. I have every confidence that she will represent you with all of the professionalism and persistence you could ask for and more. "
- Daniel R."My husband and I needed a rental quickly - we had flown into town with three days to find something. Not only did Leo work with me in the days leading up to our visit, he made sure he lined up several properties while we were in town to maximize our time. It was such an easy process - working with Leo made all the difference!
"
"There are really no words to describe the incredible service we received from Ann McClure (and Karl!). She took all of our concerns and wishes to heart, and busted her tail making sure we were accommodated when we had only 5 days to look at houses in person. She set us up with Karl during some times she was not able to be with us, and he also took great care of us! Not only did she take care of us as our advocate, but we experienced a very troublesome move, and she stuck with us every step of the way. Unfortunately, our agent at the place we were leaving did not take very good care of us, but Ann was always a phone call or text away. She truly helped us navigate this very difficult cross-country move, and I could not be more grateful for her support. She genuinely showed us great care, and I won't hesitate to recommend her and/or Karl to anyone moving to this area that I know. I’d give her 10 stars if I could - her drive, compassion, and tireless effort is unmatched. And I’ve moved every 1-3 years of my adult life."
- Tara Holmes (Buyers - VA)"Karen was helpful, informative, and supportive throughout the entire home-buying process. As first-time homebuyers, we appreciate that Karen took extra time to walk us through the steps of purchasing a home, helped us define what we were looking for, and gave us useful tips on things to consider when looking at properties. When we found places we were interested in, it was amazing how fast she got into contact with sellers’ agents, scheduled tours, and helped draft an offer. We can’t thank her enough for helping us make an offer during the late hours of a weekend. We believe it was her quick work that helped us get into the home we wanted. We highly recommend Karen to anyone! "

- WS"Bob Johnson helped us purchase a condominium ten years ago, and he also helped us sell it last month. Both times his help and support were crucial and very much appreciated.
Regarding the sale, Bob made the transaction about as easy and trouble-free as could be expected. Thanks to his network, he was aware of persons who might be interested in our unit. As a result, he brought interested potential buyers and helped obtain a full price offer without contingencies prior to the unit being listed on the MLS. This spared us from the stress of multiple showings and greatly facilitated the move out process. Throughout the period between the contract and final sale, he helped ensure that important details were fair for the purchasers and us.
As a buyer’s agent ten years ago, Bob brought us to about 20-25 properties, carefully pointing out details which we sometimes failed to notice. He knew which buildings generally pleased owners and which ones had important issues. There was never pressure to buy. His experience was evident.
In short, we were very pleased with Bob, both as a buyer’s agent and as a seller’s agent. As such, we strongly recommend him as an agent for buyers or sellers."

- Theresa Buchanan, Alexandria, VA"Jean's level of commitment and service was beyond what we expected. She accommodated our schedule and circumstances (we shopped and bought remotely from Illinois!). Her recommendations were spot on and her candor much appreciated! Without her, we're sure we wouldn't have bought the home that we did. It's very clear that Jean cares about her clients and is committed to their success. We couldn't have chosen a better agent!"
- Daniel M"As always (this is the fourth purchase or sale we have used Marilyn for), Marilyn's service could not have been better. From advice and assistance on staging, a gameplan for necessary repairs/upgrades to maximize sales value, determination of the right price point in a dynamic market, formulation of the most effective listing strategy, negotiations with the buyers' agent, and finally assistance with closing on settlement day, Marilyn's service was absolutely perfect. This is why, over the years, we have not hesitated to recommend Marilyn and McEnearney to friends, neighbors, and colleagues. We will continue to do so."

- Lata N"Lynn is wonderful. She is consultative, smart and always has our best interests in mind."
- Jeff Iredell"Shirley was fantastic! We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. Gave us great advice and explained everything along the way. Everything has been top-notch. Shirley kept us well informed during the whole process. This was the first time we have sold a house. We had lived in our house for 31 years and we’re totally clueless as to where to even begin. Shirley came into our home and right away we knew she was the one to sell our home and she did. Very caring and compassionate! Everything went very smoothly!"
- Leonard/Seller"Martha is the absolute best! She is professional, timely, clear, doesn't sugar coat but also reassures. There are simply not enough amazing things to say about her."
- Chris Tolbert"We couldn't have asked for anything more from Shirley Mattam-Male. She was pleasant, energetic, straightforward forward and made suggestions from the very beginning. I followed her lead from beginning to end and the house looked amazing. At some point, she convinced us to do hardwood floors and I knew she was right. Took all the actions and she found all the people that came to the home and took care of our issues. We didn't have to do a thing to locate or vet any contractors. She had our trust from the beginning. My wife and I were taken by the way Shirley introduced herself and the manner in which she presented the company She has a way about her the just draws you in and lets you know she cares about not only the house and the sale but the people she is working with. We trusted her from the beginning. Between Shirley Mattam-Male and Carlie Ross, we were fully supported in our efforts to prepare and sell our home. They left no stones unturned or items lingering. They were the best."
- Leonard/Seller"Karen Stevens was an amazing agent, advocate, and home search companion for me and my wife. As our home purchasing prospects were not going well in this crazy housing market, she balanced a positive attitude with managing realistic expectations and was always looking out for our family’s best interest. When our original lender was unresponsive to a weekend request to update a conditional
approval letter, Karen tapped her robust network of lender contacts and put us in contact with a local lender offering a better rate and who the settlement company later said was the best around, most reliable, and the easiest to work within ensuring no closing delays. Karen was thorough and communicative at every step of the search and home purchase process, making herself available on weekends and evenings to work around our busy schedules and taking time to answer any questions we had by text, email, or phone call. We can honestly say that Karen played an irreplaceable role in us finding the forever home of our dreams."
"Susan provided outstanding service. In the fall of 2019, I was planning to sell my house in the spring of 2020 and then COVID hit which caused my doctor to encourage me to stay in my home, so Susan has been with me for almost two years. She is very supportive and good at share paperwork ahead of time so I can carefully read it. Because I was nervous about the closing, she came to it in case I ran into problems. She even brought her husband to my house to clean the front porch ceiling so it would look better for the open house."
- MAFR"Laura was fantastic!"
- Jeffrey Dilisi"Top-notch service during the entire process of selling our home. Could not be more pleased with the level of service provided by McEnearney Associates in the sale of our home."

- L.J."Excellent, one of the best!"
- Rubin S"Ms. Edwards Harrison is the best real estate agent I've ever seen. From start to finish, I received awesome support and suggestions to maximize the profit from my home sale.

- Satisfied Customer"Extraordinary. Couldn’t be happier. Susan walked us through the process and was there every step of the way to give advice and answer questions. She took the time to understand our needs and truly had our interests at heart. Ended up with multiple above asking, no contingency offers!
"
"Shirley is exceptional in every way. Almost 11 years ago, I was introduced to Shirley as she helped me sell my townhouse and purchase another one. Over the past 11 years, she has kept in touch, often delivering goodies and checking in on me and my family. Needless to say, Shirley understands the importance of relationships and fosters and cultivates life-long partnerships with her clients. When I was ready to sell again, there was no doubt in my mind who I was going to call. Shirley helped sell my home, and we are currently under contract to my purchase my life-long dream of owning a single-family home. I can't thank Shirley enough for her dedication, support, and friendship. She is a gem! "
- Joshua/Seller"I could not have done it without the agent. I am 83 years old and needed a lot of help. I have several more houses to sell. She guided me through the process with ease. She is the best!"
- Mary H"Unparalleled knowledge and experience with the Rotonda Condominiums streamlines the leasing process, communication, and saves time. Proactive goes above and beyond expectations.
The tenant family had a very serious family medical emergency during the leasing process. Renneye's extra-ordinary care and in-depth understanding of the Rotonda's operating processes enabled us to find a way to close the deal under very challenging circumstances. "
"Mackenzie was an absolute joy to worth with! She was so well prepared, knowledgeable, and responsive. She did a great job helping us find houses that met our needs and desires and dropped everything to make sure that we were one of the first potential buyers to view homes that we were interested in--essential in this crazy housing market! She built an amazing rapport with other realtors and colleagues, which really helped us during the home-buying process. Our offer was accepted on Easter Sunday, and Mackenzie took multiple calls from us and the selling realtor during Easter dinner with her family to make sure that the deal went through! She's truly a gem and we would recommend her to anyone!"
- Hannah"The best bilingual real estate agent in the DC metropolitan area. Very pleasant in the deal, always…"
- Julio S."Sharmane did an incredible job during the negotiation and closing of our condo. Our tenant wanted to buy when the lease was up. Although it may sound like a straightforward process, Sharmane jumped in right away to ensure all was taken care of without any hassle. She even was able to get the closing done sooner when the buyer threw us a curve ball by changing the closing date without notifying us. Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend Sharmane to any family/friends and will use her again if needed. Thanks Sharmane! "
- Gregory W."Sharmane is the Diamond standard of attention to detail. Going beyond your expectations and delivering better than expected results. I would recommend her services without any reservations. If you want someone to represent your interest with integrity, passion, and a hate to lose attitude, Sharmane is your realtor."
- Frank Guzzone"Sharmane is amazing! Within a week of meeting with her we were under contract on our dream home. Sharmane helped us feel confident in our choice and was able to guide us to make our offer the most competitive. She's an amazing communicator and is willing to make personal connections with other agents to help get you the contract for your dream home. "
- Kellan Howell"Nick is a phenomenal real estate agent. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and persistent. Nick's careful attention to our interests and needs meant that Nick has helped guide us not once but twice to homes that we love. In this competitive market, Nick helped us navigate the uncertainty with ease. We can't thank Nick enough!"
- Carey & Dustin"We hired Dinora to sell the home we had been living in for 36 years because we were retiring and moving to the lake. She was very honest regarding list price and gave great advice on needed improvements. Our home sold within days but we had an unexpected issue pop up which delayed closing. Dinora handled everything and stayed in constant contact with updates until the problem was resolved, which reduced my stress level immensely. Dinora is professional, super friendly and highly responsive. She kept us updated every step of the way with videos, emails and texts. I would most definitely recommend Dinora to anyone who is thinking of buying/selling their home. And did I mention that our home sold for over the asking price! Thanks, Dinora!"
- Karen S."It was so smooth and easy and James helped us through all the steps even whilst he was away on vacation! I don't know how he does it - we always felt supported and like he was looking out for our best interests. I truly cannot recommend him enough and we'll certainly be back for future housing needs!!"
- Blake H."JaneEllen Saums was my realtor from April 15 through June 10, 2021. She is very intelligent, wise,
I can and will recommend JaneEllen to anyone wanting to buy and/or sell their home. You will be happy that you did!"
- Pam Berry"We have been so fortunate to have Dinora at our side during our home buying process. She has been very responsive, supportive, informative and honest. Has been a pleasure to work with her and I wouldn't hesitate to work with Dinora on our next buy."
- Luis"Dinora was outstanding. Could not have been better. Her knowledge and experience was very helpful in all the decision making. What I really appreciated was her excellent communication. She kept me informed every stop of the way. Dinora was always on top of every situation. I always felt I was her top priority, and she sure proved her value.
From start to finish this transaction was handled with perfection. Dinora took charge from the beginning and called all the shots. Each decision she made turned out to be the right one. Among her most notable attributes are her keen attention to detail, her tireless effort to get it right and her professional approach to handling the transaction. She is a credit to the firm."
- Larry U."Thank you Mark for taking such care in selling my parents' home! You are a consummate professional and it was a pleasure to work with you. I will let the people who referred you know that they must keep doing that!"
- Richard Eilbert"James was fantastic. He listened carefully. We were selling this property while we were out of town and we needed someone who could work independently and quickly. And he did so and got us to a first closing at well over our offering price. Everything about his service was sophisticated and elegant: the staging, the deft handling of inevitable obstacles, and the peace he gave us by taking the reins as we asked. His resume says he speaks four languages, but I think he speaks a fifth: graciousness."
- Nancy D."Cher was knowledgeable, relatable, patient and willing to go above and beyond to make it work. I will 1000x over recommend her to someone else and will use her for all my realty needs!"
- Homebuyer in Washington, D.C."Home-buying in any year is stressful, but 2021 is really stressful. You'll need patience, luck, and a really experienced realtor. Alyssa is just who you want on your side. I was entirely new to the home-buying experience, and she expertly guided me through each step, offering not only her advice and market insights, but also encouragement and support. I truly felt like we were a team. There was no question I couldn't ask Alyssa. I always knew she was just a quick text, call, or email away. She's exceedingly responsive, too, and I never had to wait long to hear back from her. While I really appreciated Alyssa during every step of the process, I can't imagine having anyone else write an offer for me. I fully trusted her instincts on writing the strongest offer. All of that paid off, and I'm now officially a home-owner. Even after closing, Alyssa has stayed in touch. She means it when she says she wants to be a resource to her clients. It's really comforting to have someone like Alyssa in your corner."
- Amanda W."Dinora has been the most personable, kind, and professional agent. As first time homebuyers, we were nervous about the process and finding what our family needed. Dinora met with us to outline the entire process and started finding potential homes right away. We worked together for months in a difficult market to find the right home. She was always upfront about what she thought was over priced and if it was worth our money. She consistently advocated for us as buyers and made sure to communicate clearly through each step of the process. In the end we found a place for under the asking price, even during the crazy market. Looking for our first home, with a baby, during a pandemic was stressful, but she made the experience enjoyable and fun for us all. Not only will we use Dinora for any real estate dealings in the future, we consider her a friend. We absolutely and enthusiastically recommend her to anyone looking for a new home."
- Iain C."Purchasing your first home can be an overwhelming experience, but Sharmane is a calm, experienced and knowledgable guide through the purchasing process. Especially in today's maddening market, Sharmane will provide you with the advice and wise direction in all situations."
- Amy Lust"Expect quick results, the highest possible return on a sale, dedicated work ethic, effective and timely communication, and whether you are buying or selling, a realtor with your best interests in mind: a true rarity!"
- Gary R."Phillip went above and beyond his remit in every way possible. I really felt like we had a partner throughout a very difficult process. Despite the insanity of the market, he always made us feel like we were his only clients; excellent communication and incredible availability. Having successfully navigated the SF Bay Area's housing market, we rolled into the DC area with a level of hubris. After six months of sifting through abysmal inventory, losing five offers and more than a few thoughts about giving up entirely, Phillip secured an off market deal on a PRISTINE home in our target neighborhood that checked EVERY box we set out to fulfill...and it came in at our original budget number set back in September 2020. It's nothing short of absurd or miraculous. Phillip stayed even keel, focused and determined and he steered us into a dream scenario."
- Frank Holland"Phillip was excellent, very knowledgeable about the neighborhoods we were looking in and right on the nose with sales price predictions. He was always available to tour houses and answer questions about everything from schools to renovation costs. If he wasn’t sure what the answer was, he would quickly find out."
- Anne Viviani"Kelly Garrett helped us sell a property and buy a new one with ease and utmost professionalism. She always puts the client’s needs first and we can trust her advice. She has gone above and way beyond our expectations and is an excellent realtor. We highly recommend her!"
- Michele W."Dinora is a fantastic agent. She has an intimate knowledge of the area and guided us through a very challenging buying process. This was our third time buying a home and was by far our best experience. We were buying from out of state and could not have done it without her. We cannot recommend her highly enough."
- Eliot B."Lauren went above and beyond in every practical and emotional way. Absolute top notch service, care, and responsiveness. Lauren got it done."
- Sophia Vandergrift"We were extremely pleased with Dinora's expertise and performance during the process. Her fun personality, professionalism and knowledge made the whole process smooth and enjoyable even in this very unusual market. We are happy to refer Dinora to all our friends looking to buy or sell a house.We are proud new homeowners of a beautiful house and this could not had happened without the help of a great real estate agent like Dinora Chacon. "
- Ella M."We are new to the area and Hannah has been a great help in finding our home as well as an investment property. She is very professional, expedient and thoughtful."
- Clayton & Diane"I used Jerry’s services because she sold a similar townhouse in my row a couple of years ago. I have worked with other agents in the past who have been “fine”, but there were none that I would recommend to others. Since working with Jerry, this has changed. From our first meeting I was extremely impressed with her market knowledge, level of professionalism and wonderful personality. She is extremely responsive and proactive, always making sure you know what the next steps are. Getting a home ready to sell by yourself is not an easy task, especially in a quick timeframe. Jerry made the process seamless, referring me to the services I would need to get my home ready to sell and to move my belongings to my new place. She knew exactly what to list my home at based on the current market, and I received multiple offers. When the original buyer cancelled the contract on day three, she immediately got to work contacting another offer I had received. Within a few hours, I had a replacement sale - same terms, including price (above list price), no contingencies and quick settlement date. She even drove all the way to Winchester and jumped in on a Zoom call with little advanced notice to help me with the purchase of new construction. You can put your home sale or purchase in Jerry’s hands and know she will always act with your best interest in mind. I highly recommend her services!"
- Marti"Our family was lucky to work with an agent as fantastic as Bob for our move! With two young kids and a baby on the way, we did not have a lot of spare time as we embarked on our search for a larger home in Arlington. He was always accommodating with our irregular schedule for calls and showings, and when we finally found our ideal house, he was excellent through the negotiations, inspections and closing processes. We were so happy with his support we asked him to represent us for the sale of our old home, which he managed for us with the same level of professionalism and support.
It’s cliché to say, but Bob really did go ‘above and beyond’ for us in both of our transactions. Our new place needed a bit of maintenance, and he was always quick with a good contractor recommendation. He gifted us a whole package of safety equipment (smoke/CO detectors, fire extinguishers) and other supplies for our new house after closing. Also, shortly after we moved in, we discovered a leak behind a bathroom wall in our new home. When Bob found out he helped us find and then bought (at his cost!) the matching tile for the repair.
Bob was especially helpful with the sale of our old house, exceeding his already high level of service for us! While we were busy moving our family and settling into our new home we didn’t have a lot of time to spare to prepare our old house for the market, but Bob jumped right on it and did a LOT to help us get ready for sale. From arranging for and meeting contractors at the house multiple times, to mulching and planting new flowers himself shortly before we hit the market, he did it all! Thanks to his help we got a few offers and a great price for our home.
Bob is an excellent agent and we would strongly recommend him, whether you’re buying or selling!

- David & Colleen K. - May 31, 2021"Buying and selling real estate can be a trying time and an emotional roller coaster for even the seasoned veterans. You are taking the most prized and valued possession that you own and putting it out there for everyone to judge, assess, and value - not to mention the added stresses of the relocation after you sell. I never imagined that I would have the pleasure of working with such an amazing realtor. Sharmane has made this process not only less stressful but actually kind of exciting! Her vast knowledge of the local markets, pricing strategies, targeting buyers, and client relations is beyond grading. Her services FAR exceeded our expectations on every level. Sharmane has a keen attention to detail, leaves no stone unturned and ALWAYS keeps her client’s interests her top priority. Sharmane and her team set forth on a mission to sell our home, where my wife and I were married…have watched our 4 children grow…and have all shared hundreds of thousands of great memories together. She not only accomplished her goals, and exceeded ours, but we can now close this chapter and begin a new one with the addition of a new close friend that I would always welcome into our new home."
- Matthew Hutchinson"Sarah is such a pleasure to work with. She helped us twice with 2 awesome purchases and we already have more planned!! Our endeavors will not feel complete without her Magic touch!! We feel lucky to have found her."
- Megha B., Kingstowne"Sarah is the best real estate professional I have ever worked with. She was super responsive, took the time to understand my goals, and provided excellent advice at every stage of the home sale process. Thanks to her outstanding negotiation skills and her knowledge of local markets, she helped me close a deal that gave me tens of thousands dollars more for the sale of my home than I ever thought I would get. I can enthusiastically recommend her to others."
- Peter U., McLean"We always received replies back in a timely manner, Alice was there to cover times with repair people at our home when we were unable to be there, and she has a great “never give up” attitude which is very helpful. Alice, and hence us, received great support from her colleagues. The advertising turned out to be very effective and kept the showings coming. The firm is very impressive for sure. I was impressed that Alice’s broker actually wanted to come and see the property. That is really taking an interest! Alice worked us steadily through each and every hurdle."
- Bonnie Jay Chatelain"I’ll never forget Renneye’s fantastic work. She is excellent and so kind and professional Big hugs to you beautiful xoxoxo"
- Christine Vialettes"Excellent."
- Michael"This is yet another testimonial to the very positive experience of working with Bob. He was highly recommended to me by my financial advisor, whose opinion I completely trust. I had anticipated that selling my home would be overwhelming, but Bob made it such an easy task. He personally did all the prep work to make the house attractive for photographs and for prospective buyers. When settlement on my house was delayed, due to the fault of the buyer’s agent and settlement company, Bob took care of the problems that occurred because of it.
It was very important to me that my dog and cats be treated kindly and with respect during the process of selling my home, and Bob certainly did that! After I had moved and before the sales contract was signed, Bob continued to offer services that went beyond what would normally be expected of a realtor. He removed the hazardous waste materials from my garage and shed and disposed of them in an environmentally sound way. He also donated my dog’s extra bowls, leashes, and towels to a local animal shelter.
It was truly a pleasure working with Bob. "
- Louise D. - April 2021"Superb at every level. Yolanda listened carefully to our needs. Very attentive and looked ahead to anticipate our next steps. Highly professional from every point of view. All decisions were tailored to our needs."
- Richard Hall"Santiago provided superior service. We couldn't be happier. We give Santiago a 5 star review. Santiago did anything and everything needed, with us (the sellers) out of state. Any question we raised Santiago was the consummate professional in responding to. He helped us price things correctly, avoid some potentially risky buyers, and sell happily to a buyer who closed on time and with minimal back and forth. We'd recommend Santiago to anyone looking for an agent."
- David"Amazing, Mark was always available and went way above and beyond to find us our home. [His] overall experience was the main reason we were able to look at a house. In a crazy market like this, the only way to navigate it is with a seasoned professional like him. In the DMV, I would not even think about using another agent."
- Collin Rowe"Service was excellent. She was helpful, very responsive, and kind. She even checked in after move-in to just make sure things went okay."
- Samantha"Sarah is the BEST! She gets all the necessary work done, without giving her clients any headaches. She is knowledgeable, responsive and a genuine awesome woman. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"
- Mary A. Buyer & Seller"Laura is everything we could want in an agent. She utilized her network to know when homes and lots were coming onto the market. She completely understood our needs and helped us weigh our decisions among different properties and consider various tradeoffs in buy vs. build scenarios. She can look at a lot and foresee future building concerns, or notice scratches on the floor under the bed as soon as she walks into the room. She knows how to approach a deal in ways that give her buyers a competitive edge while also keeping them protected."
- Keith F. Cecere Jr."Lauren was absolutely incredible and I firmly believe I would not be a homeowner without her. Buying with a VA loan and little cash on hand was a challenge in and of itself, complicated by an unprofessional listing agent and title company which made it even worse when I thought I was in the clear. Lauren was able to guide me through the entire process, keep me grounded, and close the deal. I cannot recommend her enough."
- M.A.D"Hannah helped me buy my first home. I was new to the area and overwhelmed in the buying process, but she was very knowledgeable and provided great insight throughout. It is easy to see how she has been able to build many lasting relationships with clients as she works diligently to find the exact home you are looking for. You can expect prompt replies and attentive guidance. No matter where you are in the buying process or your preferences, I highly recommend working with Hannah."
- Justin Yang"Working with Hannah was one of the best experiences I had with any real estate agent in the DMV area. She was genuine and very professional throughout the whole buying and selling process. She paid attention to the smallest details like taking the time to speak to our condo association to tell our neighbor to clean unorganized shoes outside the doorstep which may be a bad first time impression to people coming in for showing. Hannah worked as if she was the one selling/buying the house. Another great attribute is that she has very prompt communication with all follow ups and updates on our process. I already recommended her to many of my friends jumping into the house market search. Thank you Hannah!!!"
- Esther Cho"I cannot say enough about the wonderful experience I had with Miriam. She was knowledgeable, down to earth, and super responsive, as well as very thorough, right to the very last moment. She made the whole home-buying experience truly pleasurable."
- Jennifer M."Kevin and the Barber Home Group were amazing partners to help lease our property. We are remote owners, so the hands-on help of picking up keys from a friend, installing a lock box, helping to coordinate cleaners and maintenance crews between tenants was above and beyond what you normally get from a leasing agent. On top of that, once we had the listing up he had the property shown to qualified tenants and leased in no less than a week. He handled getting the lease draft together, all the walk-thrus and turnover requests and just made the entire experience so easy. If you are looking for a broker to sell or lease your home, look no further. This is the team for you!"
- Taylor Robinson"The service was great the difference after interviewing 3 realtors was the “staging” furniture that she provided that others didn’t offer. The transaction went just fine especially during COVID times."
- William C., Herndon"Joan was fantastic to work with, her knowledge of our neighborhood was such a plus. Loved that she stages homes. We felt very confident during the entire process."
- Julie C., Herndon"Ann McClure was so thorough and she got us our new condo despite several barriers thrown up by the seller. She was able to balance firmness and kindness and was dogged in her pursuit of our best interest. Ann is fantastic, attentive, calm, thorough, responsive, you name it."
- Mara Fruiterman Bayewitz"I would recommend Kelly to anyone who is looking to buy or sell real estate. She is the best and is always 5 steps ahead of everyone else. Buying a home while being posted overseas can be challenging, but Kelly made herself available for us and we trusted her to find what we were looking for. She made sure we were aware of all the steps to close on the house."
- Michele W."Judy and Barbara were exceptional. Always very responsive, proactive, and “showed up” through the entire process. Their understanding of the market in our area and plan for how to list the home was outstanding and all of our outcomes were exceeded. Additionally, we had a poor experience with the current realtor we were using for the purchase of our next home in the local area. Judy and Barbara swooped in to help us and wound up representing us for the purchase of our new home in addition to the sale of our old home. They truly saved the day and we are very grateful, considering the distance from their main region and how they helped us in a
pinch."
"Laura is awesome, simply put. I understand she does what she does because it's her profession but she really made my husband and I feel like it goes beyond a job - that she cared personally about us. Left to our own devices, in this crazy market, I'm confident we would have gotten significantly less for our house and I think there's almost no chance we would have actually found our dream house.. and more importantly, actually got the house."
- Susan M DeMarr"My agent Jerry Thatcher was absolutely AMAZING! I trusted her completely and knew that she would help me find the home of my dreams, and she did! She was truly looking out for my best interests and helped me feel comfortable and protected throughout the process."
- Barry Lynne D"In a very competitive market, Katie helped us find the right home. We were searching for homes in DC while living overseas- a difficult task indeed! However, we managed to tour houses, learn about neighborhoods, get pre-inspections, all while being abroad. I know that it would not have been possible without Katie's professionalism, communication, dedication, various connections and attention to detail. Thank you!"
- Kelsey Ann Lyle"Katie was really excellent in working with our unique situation and in a challenging market. Always responsive and helpful! Katie really understood where we were coming from and in the end got us into a great house. We are forever grateful."
- Joshua Paul Johnson"I can't imagine having a better buying and selling experience. Laura goes above and beyond to ensure her clients find the right fit - this is our second time around working with Laura and I really can't say enough good things. In this crazy market, she helped us get as much as possible on the sale of our home and also got creative to help us find our dream house.. and get it off-market which during this crazy time was a game-changer!"
- Susan M DeMarr"Joan is amazing! She helped relieve some of our stress of selling in this market by developing a strategy that would work for us."
- Lisa C., Ashburn, VA"Chris Pritchard was amazing! She helped us navigate selling our home and purchasing a new home in a crazy real estate market. We appreciated Chris's professionalism, warmth, and humor to make a stressful process enjoyable and fun. Thank you, Chris, for helping us make our dreams a reality! Not only was Chris Pritchard a consummate pro, everyone she recommended was incredible from the mortgage firm to the photographer to the handyman. Chris is a pro's pro and everyone she connected us with was the same way."
- LB"Exceeds expectations."
- ASHISH VERMA"Top-notch service from Susan O'Reilly as always. Susan is the best in the business."
- JK, Falls Church, VA"Ann is the BEST!! She is responsive, knowledgable, communicative, and a great agent. Not only is she a great negotiator, but she also gets to know her clients so she can represent them well. Despite being a hard and difficult market due to the Covid crisis, she made it look seamless to work through it. She looks out for you, she gives you her honest opinions and she ensures you are well taken care of. The level of service from her was exceptional."
- Zainab Yayoh Mansaray-Storms (Buyer-MD)"What’s the highest score you can give? Super amazing unicorn? That’s what she is. She went above and beyond. She had to deal with an incredibly challenging and arguably narcissistic seller’s boyfriend on the other side and she did so with grace and incredible skill. Ann and Jennifer were both fantastic. Patient, kind, responsive, detail oriented, and just joys to work with."
- Kathryn L Wilderotter (Buyer - MD)"Ann was amazingly patient with our ever-moving timeline. She is very personable without being nosy. Most importantly, she was very knowledgeable, absolutely low key and no pressure! We were thrilled with her help. Very high level of service from our agent and her assistant. "
- Ting Yi Oei (Landlord-VA)"Ann (and Jennifer) is an excellent agent! She went above and beyond to ensure my house was ready to sell."
- Lisa Lopinsky (Seller-VA)"Ann was highly communicative, extremely well-prepared, and a great listener. We felt that we got the attention we needed to navigate a
fast-paced market."
"As a first-time homebuyer, Shirley was extremely thorough in walking me through the entire process. She was patient with me and answered any questions I had.
I closed on my new home 20 days after visiting in person at an open house. The condensed timeframe did not phase Shirley and she was always readily available to ensure everything went smoothly. From the first phone call and all the way through closing, I had full confidence that I made the right decision in selecting Shirley as my agent In this competitive market, I would not have wanted to walk through with anyone but Shirley!"
"During the selling of our house, she supported our decision-was not "you have to sell now because you won't get the asking price". One of the most honest real estate agents, very proud of working with her and we will recommend her, no doubt about it!!!! Also, outstanding service from Stacey Hennesey "pitching-In" when Karen was out. She helped us with a temporary rental in MD!!!"
- Lourdes M Deppmeier"We were selling our townhouse in McLean but we live in Ohio. Sandy exceeded our expectations helping us to get our property ready and sold. I have bought and sold over 10 properties over the past 20 years and she was by far the most helpful realtor I have worked with."
- Scott L"Bay went over and above with helping me sell my mother's house. She arranged the estate sale, managed repairs and went to meet the appraisers and home owners association. She did a remarkable job."
- Patricia Ann Haislip"Ms. O'Reilly was fantastic, responsive, honest, and helpful. The process went so much more smoothly than I could have hoped because of her work."
- CPW, Alexandria, VA"Susan O'Reilly was excellent. Friendly, knowledgeable, and very responsive."
- DHR, Falls Church, VA"Susan was fabulous throughout the entire process. She made it look seamless in a really tough market and helped get us our first home we bid on with a number of competitive markets. She helped us pull together a very strong offer in a quick amount of time and got an inspector to come in on a snowy weekend before we placed our offer. We are so lucky to have found our home and couldn't have done it without Susan!"
- BC, Falls Church, VA"Excellent! Upon meeting Kolleen, I just knew she was the right agent to sell my Mother's house. She was energetic, knowledgeable, straightforward and gives her honest opinion. Closing was less than 6 weeks after we met her that day. She made the entire process very easy for me and my family. I was so impressed by how many times she would go out and check on the property since it was vacant. She was always there to help with any and everything I needed no matter what time or day. You can clearly see she loves her job and she does it well. Kolleen goes above and beyond the call of duty. I will highly recommend her to my family and friends."
- S Shifflet Neitz"Mackenzie is extremely trustworthy, reliable, informed, and cares deeply about her clients. Mackenzie made the home buying experience extremely smooth. She was focused on our interest and getting us the right home. She went out of her way to show us our future home on the morning of New Years Day. Her dedication to us was unparalleled."
- Andrew Henderson"Responsive, knowledgeable, and supportive. Trifecta."
- Jeremy Adam Feinberg"Sandy provided excellent service and provided the very best advice when asked."
- Christopher V T"Sandy Chee went above and beyond to help us. She taught us what we needed to know about buying a house and listened to what we wanted. She was always available, even for small questions. Amazing!
Sandy is a highly skilled realtor and a wonderful person to work with. She worked hard and quickly to help us put in our offer. She has continued to keep us informed on things like ensuring we have copies of all our home warranty documents even after the sale. She understood what we were looking for and helped us purchase our home. We highly, highly recommend her for her professionalism, dedication, and friendliness. She truly cares."
- Cindy Sue A."My experience with Tom was first class. Tom’s effort is unmatched. He was responsive to my questions and proactive in setting up tours. Tom is extremely friendly yet professional and makes the home buying process as smooth and stress free as possible. Highly recommend if you or someone you know is in need of an agent!"
- Rick S."Nicole was amazing. She was on point [and provided] great customer service. I have referred her already and I’m definitely using her next time. "
- Raven Te'koah Morris"We were given top notch service. We were very impressed with her work ethics, efficiency, and knowledge of the buyers market. The fact that our settlement date was exactly as promised was due to the interaction of our agent with the mortgage company, who by the way had the utmost respect for Sabina."
- Jean Planco"We worked with James Kim - his service was excellent. He is extremely knowledgeable and made this a smooth experience. James did an excellent job guiding us through the process and providing insights along the way."
- Vladislav V."Kate is the best — we will never use another agent. Everything went as smoothly as possible."
- Mark"Excellent. Fast and professional."
- Paul Cress"Sandy Chee provided an exceptional home-buying experience. She listened to our preferences, kept us up to date as to what new houses would go on the market soon and when, and always answered our questions promptly and thoughtfully. She knew everything about the areas we were looking in. Her years of experience as a realtor set her apart as having an intricate understanding of the nuances of the market which helped us navigate the environment to find the perfect house. She is professional, personable, dedicated, kind, and we loved working with her. We highly, highly, highly recommend Sandy Chee!"
- Cindy Anderson"Thank you Kevin for all that you have done in helping us achieve one of our goals. It was two years ago when we had a brief conversation about buying a home and you did not forget. You contacted me around the time we discussed and I felt bad because I was not ready. I am a strong believer that timing is everything. What I am getting at is because you are family is not the only reason we chose you as our agent. It was because you never forgot our conversation and you stayed with us. Keep doing what you are doing because the best is yet to come for you. "
- Keith & Habiba Lomax"Ross was recommended by a friend to purchase my first home and has been a pleasure to work with through the entire process. Professional, knowledgeable, and willing to take time to walk me through the home buying process. Thanks to Ross, I was able to purchase a new home at asking price in a highly competitive buyers market. I would certainly recommend Ross to anyone who is a first time home buyer."
- B. Johnson"Joan Reimann is the absolute best realtor ever. She jumped in with her whole heart, gave great advice, worked hard to help prepare the property for sale, and followed through on everything, resulting in a very quick listing, and then sale. She is a consummate professional. We could not have made a better choice for selling our home. I recommend Joan to anyone needing to sell their home. She will make it happen."
- Charles Durant"Bob was an invaluable resource in the sale of my condo. With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic (and me living over 400 miles away), I needed this to be a completely hands-off transaction. As such, I wanted to deal with someone that I could trust to not only help me make the right decisions along the way but also to carry out the entirety of the sale process in my absence. Bob was definitely the man for the job.
Bob provided remodeling recommendations and handled all interactions with multiple vendors, arranging to have the unit painted as well as new appliances and hardwood floors selected and installed. He arranged for some needed plumbing repairs, and even provided some spare parts from his own home that he had on hand to keep costs down. Seeing the finished product made me wish I could move back in!
The COVID-influenced condo market was brutal from a seller’s perspective and Bob’s guidance helped me remain patient. His suggested strategy of removing the unit from the market for 60 days during the winter (and re-listing at a slightly reduced price) paid off in the form of a full-price offer within 10 days of re-listing. It is not an exaggeration to say that absent Bob’s market knowledge, my unit would likely have sat on the market for several weeks longer (if not months).
On top of all this, Bob was very responsive, proactive, and professional every step of the way. I definitely made the right choice in putting the sale of my condo in Bob’s hands. "
- Robert L. | March 2021"Kelly was definitely FIVE Stars! She was energetic and on top of everything. She was especially patient with me as I had never done this before and had some nostalgic matters to work through about selling this place that had been a part of my life 44 years. I appreciated her accompanying me to the closing and her speedy recommendation and help in redoing the kitchen was wonderful."
- Karen K."Phillip Allen was super courteous and accommodating in helping me to find the right house."
- Chanvearsna Omkar"We’ve used her twice now and she is absolutely fantastic. Very knowledgeable and extremely helpful and honest. She’s also very personable and great to work with. She gets stuff done. I can’t recommend her enough!!"
- Heather L Ellis"Melissa worked for us as a buyer's agent to find a condo in Alexandria. We were very, very picky and probably drove her crazy looking a zillions of properties. You'd never have known it from her professional and friendly demeanor, and especially her patience. She never tried to steer us towards a property and was always working in our interest. She will work like a dog for you. I will use her again. Highly recommended."
- M. Warbuton"Paula was excellent and very communicative about a variety of aspects related to the transaction on my home. She was fair in her assessments, clear in her opinions and overall supported a very favorable transaction."
- Patrick A, Ashburn, VA"This was our fourth transaction with Laura (two sales, two purchases). We wouldn't even consider using another agent at this point. Laura has consistently gone above and beyond in helping us purchase and sell properties. With our most recent sale. Laura's insights into what was needed to bring the property to market were indispensable. We were actually considering spending a lot more on updates, but she helped us focus on getting the most critical updates done and connected us with trusted (and reasonably priced) contractors. Each of our transactions had its own unique set of challenges; Laura proved to be a pro handling each. Highly, highly recommended."
- Marshall Rodgers"Joan and her team have been amazing. She has been knowledgeable, creative, helpful, invested in our success, and a pleasure to work with. Joan's careful staging of our house for sale was a major factor in its selling appeal. The attention to detail and style was amazing!"
- Aaron S, Oakton, VA"Amazing! Renneye is the most helpful real estate agent I have ever encountered. She is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and thoughtful. "
- Faye L Butchy"Susan did a phenomenal job. She was always available to show me properties and found potential homes knowing my preferences. She is pleasant to work with and during the other process, she was professional and worked well with the selling agent. Susan's personality, experience and work ethic really set her apart. I've worked with other agents and she is by far the best at what she does!"
- HLH"The service was top-notch from day 1. Ann was extremely supportive, patient, and all-around a joy to work with. What was special about the transaction for us was just how much Ann went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable before, during, and after our move."
- Paul R Stanchfield (Buyer - MD)"Amazing... she is a real estate agent and concierge wrapped into one!"
- Mary D. Napier (Buyer - VA)"Lauren was AMAZING! She was very thorough and extremely fast in her responses when we had questions. She was very dedicated to making sure we understood every step."
- S.A."Jillian is the best! Where to begin? As first time homebuyers, she was very patient to explain each step of the process, so that we felt comfortable each step of the way. She really listened to our wants and needs, and was very quick to follow up on pre-listed properties that fit our criteria so that we were often the first people to view the property once it came on market. During the offer process, Jillian was an expert at helping us weigh the pros and cons of pre-inspections, short closing periods, escalations, and other contingency waivers -- listening to our needs and helping us craft offers that were competitive but that we felt comfortable with making. With Jillian's expertise, we only needed to make two offers in this extremely competitive market. During the pre-closing period, Jillian and her team were exceptionally responsive, working closely with the lender and the settlement agent to make sure everything went smoothly (during a 17-day closing period no less)! Everything was very seamless, and the instructions from her team were clear and easy to follow, so that closing day was an absolute breeze. Cannot recommend highly enough!!"
- Anna Katherine Moody"Thank you so much to Beatriz Merchan with our home buying process! You are great and very professional. Highly recommend!"
- Mildride Fenelus"Martha Floyd is such a pleasure to work. Her knowledge and attentiveness kept things flowing smoothly through the entire process. She truly goes above and beyond. Thank you!"
- Carolyn Moskowitz"When I started working with Martha, she quickly became more than a just a real estate agent--she became a friend. And as a friend she was deeply invested in helping me find the best home for me, and in supporting me all the way through the buying process. 2020 was a challenging year to be buying a home, but Martha helped make it all work out."
- John Karasek"Working with Martha was great. She was always available, knowledgeable, and supportive. We appreciated this now more than ever in such a competitive and slim market. We also appreciate that Martha never pushed us and let us be us while always seeming to have our best interests in mind."
- Jeremy F"My wife and I worked with Wendy for almost two years, and she was instrumental in finding us the perfect home in Old Town. Throughout the entire process, Wendy was patient, honest, and always forthcoming with supportive advice at every point in the home buying process. Wendy’s expertise and professionalism in real estate paired seamlessly with her incredible knowledge of historic homes. In a highly completive market, during the pandemic, Wendy put us in our dream house and I would highly recommend her to family, friends, or anyone looking for an attentive and pleasant homebuying experience."

- SO & RO"Mackenzie helped me with my first-time home purchase in the midst of COVID, and it was a great pleasure to work with her! She was helpful and supportive all the way through and was highly enthusiastic and organized.

I cannot recommend Mackenzie more!"

I have and will continue to recommend Mackenzie to colleagues and friends. She will work hard for you!"
- Brittany"During our first meeting with Sharmane we let her know the sale of our property was a big challenge and we wondered if she wanted to sign up for that...she demonstrated she means what she says...at that meeting. Sharmane and her team did a very professional job in the marketing and sale. She demonstrated to us the importance of the Open House once more, which we considered so crucial for success and feedback on the sale of the property. Their team market strategy is outstanding. Thanks for a great job. Sharmane described her job as a way to minister to her customers and she did her job with tremendous integrity."
- Rik & Claudia White"Working with Dinora was an amazing experience she is very professional knowledgeable and kind in Real Estate agent.

I will always be grateful with her for helping me to get my beautiful townhouse."
- Gabriela C."I dealt with Mark Hudson, who shepherded me through my house sale from placing on the market through to sale. Mark was supremely helpful in so many ways. As a Realtor, he offered valuable advice amidst offers (including a couple of withdrawals - altogether the fault of foundation issues with the house and not Mark's work). Mr. Hudson did a lot of physical work setting the staging, including dragging items into the house that made the setting more amenable to sale. His advice about staging (including colour recs, furniture placement [and removal]) was invaluable. On a couple of occasions (e.g. chimney re-lining), Mr. Hudson personally engaged certified contractors on my behalf and arranged inspection, estimate, and performance of duties. Having Mr. Hudson's help with this sort of thing was like having a master contractor. Mr. Hudson's Realtor advice, about the best offer among some made the final sale process almost painless. Selling a house is not easy, Mr. Hudson made it as easy as it possibly could have been in my circumstances. Which was not easy given my long residence (22 years), none of which were spent anticipating sale. I've referred to "Mr. Hudson" to be formal. I think of him as Mark. He personally engaged with my concerns, and Mark was always available when I had momentary concerns about various details. I found Mark very comfortable to deal with, and always accessible, knowledgable, and helpful. I have only ever bought one house and sold one house. Mark was recommended to me by someone with multiples of my experience working with Mark, that recommendation was hugely deserved...I would be happy to provide verbal references to Mark's excellence as a Realtor...He changed my view of Realtors."
- Marc Ness"A clear and concise sale and settlement from start to finish. Cesar knows 460 New York Avenue inside and out."
- Wayne S."Adrianna is communicative and makes things look easy and smooth. She is a calm in a storm of a transaction. She knows the market and her predictions about what buyers wanted was spot on."

- John C."We can’t say enough good things about our experience with Bob. We were transferred to a new duty station almost a full year sooner than expected and right in the middle of the pandemic. Bob flawlessly handled the sale of our condo and allowed us to focus on moving, setting up our new home, and starting my new job. His use of virtual and remote tools was especially appreciated. Additionally, Bob went above and beyond when we discovered that our movers had left behind a few boxes. He worked quickly to find the most economical shipping method for us and personally handled the details of getting our boxes on the way to us in our new home. If the Navy sends us back to northern Virginia Bob will be our first call when we begin our home search! - February 2021"

- Kevin F."Tom was great to work with from our first phone call through settlement. He was extremely easy to get a hold of and always responded promptly. He helped us determine what area of Maryland was the best fit for us given our price range, lifestyle and housing preferences. He walked us through each step of the process and ensured that we knew what was next. He suggested ways to make our offer more competitive outside of offering more money. He even met with contractors for us about a couple of issues we needed to take care of once we settled. We really enjoyed working with him and cannot thank him enough for helping find our beautiful home!"
- Krisi T."James provided amazing service from beginning to end. He constantly made sure our needs were met and worked tirelessly to find us a perfect home. His professionalism is a credit to McEnearney."
- Steven R."Ross Hunt is a pro's pro. He listens to what you want and helps you build a realistic plan that fits your family. He knows the market and every angle you should consider, so he's an excellent adviser throughout the entire home-buying (or selling) experience. We recommend Ross for his expertise, but it's his feel for any situation that makes him stand out. He is very responsive. He advocates for you. And, he is always honest."
- Zack and Alleigh R."Lisa was highly recommended to us as an agent who was knowledgeable and effective. She listened to what we were looking for in a home, was responsive to all of our questions, and moved quickly once we decided to make an offer. In an area where desirable properties sell rapidly, we appreciated her expertise and guidance throughout the process. She helped us craft an offer that would give us the best chance of acceptance. We were kept up-to-date on the status of our purchase from offer through closing, and continue to utilize Lisa as a source of information about services in the Alexandria area. We whole-heartedly recommend her without reservations."
- Brigid & Jim C."OBSERVATIONS ON SELLING MY HOUSE WITH LISA GROOVER
I recently put my beautiful home of 23 years on the market during the busy holiday season of a pandemic year, and—for complicated financing reasons—under a strict time constraint. I am very grateful that I chose Lisa to partner with me in selling it! Shortly after listing the house, mold was discovered in the basement, which required immediate remediation. Throughout this process, Lisa kept everyone firmly on track, working to move the remediation forward steadily and reassuring my many concerns. Following remediation, open houses and showings resumed, and the house sold several weeks later to attractive buyers who made an excellent offer and agreed to close before my financing deadline.
Throughout this very stressful process, Lisa served as my cheerleader, advocate, confidante, and knowledgeable real estate expert. She suggested ways small and large to make the home more “saleable” to potential buyers. She brought in her talented team of colleagues as needed, including Tammy, her amazing photographer. She was tenacious and tireless, making herself available to me 24/7 and always ready to hear my concerns. She provided diligent follow-up, contacting every party who toured the home to get feedback, and she kept all parties well informed about the progress of the remediation. She offered wise guidance in evaluating offers received and negotiating the final offer. And always she performed her multiple roles with unfailingly good humor!
All in all, Lisa provided the highest level of service to me, and I simply could not have asked for more responsive and capable representation. I recommend her highly!"
- Jane K.Thank you for selling my home so quickly, even during the COVID 19 crisis!
Lisa was my agent for purchase of this home and I chose to work with her again when I decided to sell. Within a few days of giving her the listing for my home, it was SOLD!
Lisa is extremely knowledgeable of the Community, the current inventory of homes as well as recent home sales which enabled her to give me expert and timely advice. Throughout the process, Lisa was responsive, considerate and thoughtful and best of all, a pleasure to deal with.
I highly recommend Lisa for either your next home purchase, or sale!"
- Terry Scherling"Sarah did an amazing job helping us sell our home in Arlington for over asking price. She gave us the best advice to help us get our home ready to go on the market. We would highly recommend working with Sarah!"
- Emily P."We met Sarah at an open house and after our first conversation we knew we wanted to work with her. We could tell she was extremely knowledgeable and would provide much needed guidance through the process of purchasing our first home. Through the many ups and downs of the current market, she kept us at ease and made herself available at all times. Sarah helped us buy the perfect home for us and we couldn’t be happier and more grateful at how lucky we were to have her on our home buying team."
- Elvira"Sarah knows the market, what to do to enhance your property, who to do it, and how to price it. She is knowledgeable about all the phases of the sale and explains it in a fun and informative way. She always gets to yes. And goes the extra mile to makes sure you're pleased with the result."
- Martha"My husband and I are first time home buyers and were very nervous about the process to buy a house. We were expecting the process to be overwhelming and confusing. Fortunately, we were put in the care of Sarah Picot. She was wonderful from start to finish. She took the time to go over the process, paperwork, and answer all our questions. She was quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had no matter the time. The home buying process was smooth and not as stressful as we assumed it would be. We highly recommend Sarah for anyone looking for a home! Sarah was patient, professional, and knowledgeable."
- Elaynie Y."My husband and I hired Mackenzie to sell our Arlington house in preparation for our retirement. We were so busy finishing up work, finding a rental in Florida, arranging the move, and trying to stay healthy in the midst of the pandemic. Mackenzie was a godsend! She talked us through the options, did a market analysis, started making contacts, and helped sell our house to a developer. Mackenzie took care of us at every step--patiently explaining what was needed; gathering information and forms; working with our complicated trust documents, the purchaser, financial institutions, and the title company. Mackenzie was a shining star in a challenging year!! My husband and I can’t recommend Mackenzie highly enough!!"
- Karen Murray"Cher has been my agent for both of homes I purchased. She is extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market, honest, patient, and has great intuition regarding formidable property investments. I will definitely be using Cher for my third home."
- Homebuyer in Washington, DC"We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Cher Castillo! As first-time home buyers, it could have been easy to get swallowed up by the beast that is D.C. real estate. Cher, however, made the entire process as manageable as possible. She went above and beyond to answer questions and provide resources, and even ended up pushing our deal through while on vacation abroad. We are grateful we found her and absolutely would recommend her to anyone looking for a home in the DMV."
- Homebuyer in Washington, DC"Lisa was extremely professional and knew a lot about the area. She answered all my questions quickly and often gave advice and helped research any of our concerns. My husband and I felt confident and sure of our purchase when working with Lisa."
- Homebuyer in Ft. Washington, MD"Castillo and Coutts are very dedicated, knowledgeable, professional, and personable. My husband and I loved working with them. My children adore them. They were very diligent in helping us find our new home. We received daily notifications and recommendations for homes on the market. Also, they were accommodative; they were always available to take us to view the homes of our interest at times most convenient to us. Looking for a home can be very tedious, stressful and time consuming. However, their advice was honest and helpful and these ladies made the process of searching for a home less stressful. They were so encouraging and sincere. In addition, they are great negotiators. I bought my home 9 months ago for a great deal in DC. They still communicate with us! I highly recommend Mrs. Castillo and Mrs. Coutts as real estate agents. They are true Real Estate Professionals!"
- Homebuyer in Washington, DC"I live in another state and was able to coordinate the sale of my DC property remotely with Castillo and Coutts. They went above and beyond coordinating with vendors to prep my property for sale and were incredibly responsive. Unfortunately we had a security issue during our on-the-market time; Coutts was incredibly reponsive, professional and solutions-oriented in thinking through next steps and helping make repairs and making sure the house was secure (including daily visits to ensure all was in order!). They are also highly knowledgeable of the DC area, and were able to make good recommendations for handling the purchase price negotiation."
- Seller in Washington, DC"Both Lisa and Cher were so responsive and helpful during our home buying process. Lisa even continued to check in on us after we closed on the house. She made buying our first house seamless. I can’t recommend her enough."
- Homebuyer in Oakton, VA"Lisa was extremely knowledgeable about the area and current trends. She performed detailed market research to assist in negotiations. She also assisted greatly with a last minute crisis that arose with some complicated and unique paperwork associated with the seller's previous decisions on fixtures attached to the property. She facilitated all aspects of the buying process well beyond my expectations and I highly recommend her."
- Homebuyer in Capital Heights, MD"Mrs. Coutts was the best choice for my needs. She’s very friendly, personable and highly knowledgeable of the NOVA area. I would not have been as successful at finding exactly what I was looking for without her help. Castillo and Coutts were fast and highly efficient in getting me the correct documentation and have been available every time I have a question. I would highly recommend this team."

- Renter in Accokeek, MD"We couldn't have been happier with Lisa's professionalism, honesty, and responsiveness. As first time home buyers, we had an overwhelming amount of questions, and Lisa always made herself available to provide us with the answers - even if it is not what we wanted to hear. Her knowledge of the DC, MD, and VA real estate markets and loan processes is unmatched. We highly recommend using Lisa if you are looking for the perfect home."
- Homebuyer in Lakewood Estates, VA"Josue was beyond the best we could ask for. He went the extra mile in making us feel secure about our leasing process. We are so grateful to him. "
- Laura B."James was a real partner during the intense times of our home sale - he patiently listened to our concerns, he understood our needs and "quirks", he helped in any way possible and he made things easier for us. And he was an outstanding professional - we strongly believe we got more value out of our home thanks to James' work. Finally, James and his team are lovely people, which is at least as important as the rest :-) If we get another chance, we will definitely try to work with them again."
- Stefano N."Karen, I want to first thank you and Bay for your ABCD care of our house sale (Above and Beyond the Call of Duty).... "

- Barry Eccleston, Easton MD"Ann was GREAT! She was almost always available to meet for a showing (life gets in the way sometimes, no biggie) and was very attentive to what my wife and I were looking for in a house. What we were looking for changed more than a few times, and Ann always was up for helping us continue in the house search. I'd recommend Ann to literally anyone."
- Andrew C Robinson (Buyer - VA)"Nothing short of excellent. Ann was amazing she really made me feel comfortable and guided me to making a well-infromed decision. Best agent ever!"

- Anne Marie M"Sandy made sure I knew and did what I needed to know and do when I needed to know and do it. I really appreciated her personal touch that made me feel like I was selling my house with a knowledgeable friend."
- Erika V."The process of selling a home is exhausting in our market. While the DMV is often immune to some of the challenges other real estate markets face, even during a global pandemic are market held strong. With that said it was very challenging finding a realtor that understood our market, Falls Church, selling distressed homes and dealing with two equal partner sellers. After interviewing which felt like an endless list of people, we found Bob. A little background, my brother and I inherited our childhood room which was in need of a facelift. While it wasn't a dump by any means it needed some tlc. Bob from day one made us feel like we're a partnership when others just wanted to stick a yard sign up to drive more leads their way Bob took the opposite approach. He didn't sugar coat the facts. The numbers he presented and go to market Strategy made sense and at the end of the day executed perfectly.
The results? Bob presented us a plan to minimize our out of pocket costs while increasing the value of our home. He sold the home on the second viewing. More impressively he sold it for $15,000 more than he listed it for and more impressively was able to get all our terms met in the contract process including delaying our move out timeline to give us time to find our new forever home. After we signed the contract he immediately went to work finding us apartments, using his industry contacts and vast experience to negotiate favorable lease terms for both my brother and I. Not only did he get us $15,000 more on our home but saved me personally $2,000 over the course of one year's lease. To say I'm satisfied with Bob doesn't express my true gratitude for what he was able to do for my family. Not only did he deliver but saved us thousands of dollars in closing costs, renovations and at the end of the day he sold the home for more than what he promised. Isn't that what you wanted a realtor?
During the entire process he was extremely available, I don't think I waited longer than a few hours to hear back from him and when we were in the trenches negotiating with the buyer he would answer calls, text and emails within minutes. And while the rental aspect is not as lucrative for him he worked even harder and longer to ensure that we were taken care of weeks before we had to be out of the home which alleviated so much stress being so close to the holidays during a global pandemic. at the end of the day ask yourself this question do you want your home sold? Or do you want it sold right. Realtors are going to tell you what you want to hear and while on paper that might sound great when push comes to shove I would be hard pressed to find somebody with the results that Bob has constantly brought to the table and a simple Google search will show that. Bob is a true full-service realtor that gets the job done. I will forever be indebted to him and thankful for his service to my family and cannot recommend his services enough. Please feel free to contact me day or night to discuss this further I'd be happy to answer any of your questions."
- Charlie D."Ross was great to work with while selling my townhouse. After speaking with him on the phone, Ross came in and gave me the guidance I needed to start the process and helped me figure out what painting was necessary and what furniture should be removed to make my home easier to sell. He even helped me find the people to do some of those jobs. Ross’s focus on my home allowed me to sell my home very quickly, get the price I was hoping for and to close the sale as quickly as possible. Ross’s hard work made the process of selling my home as stress free as it could have been."
- Kevin B."I was highly pleased with the level of service I received from Patrick Ewing Jr. He was professional, presented homes within our budget, was informative throughout the entire process and kept us in the loop at all times regarding each step and items that we needed to complete in order to close on our home. I would HIGHLY recommend Patrick as a realtor for friends and family interested in buying in
the DMV area. "
"Nicole was extremely helpful throughout the process. She was a great advocate for me when interacting with listing agents, the lender and the title company. After including her in the conversation with the second lender I shopped for, she explained so much that the lender did not. This prompted me to switch to the lender that she has worked with and that is when everything changed in my process. I appreciate the detail she put into making sure we drafted the most competitive offer in this highly competitive market. Everything went smoothly and fast. I would definitely recommend her to others who are in the market to buy or sell."
- Maria Calloway"Bethany was a pleasure to work with. She not only found the perfect lot for us to build close to our daughter, but also found a rental home for us during our transition from NY to VA. The search for our lot took over 6 months, and Bethany often sent us possible choices, knowing just what our requirements were. She is enthusiastic, professional, tireless during multiple showings, knowledgeable, cheerful and encouraging. Her knowledge of the local area around Arlington was very helpful as we searched for a lot or home. She helped us through the negotiations and answered all of the questions that popped up along the journey. We highly recommend Bethany in your search for a home. "
- Susan Coiffi (Source)"Thank you so much for helping us find our rental. It was nothing short of a miracle to have been connected with you, tour the property, and move in just a few days after that right before Christmas! You provided us insight into the local area that we would not have found elsewhere and we really appreciate that."
- Natasha K. & Josh N."Ann is intelligent and a seasoned real estate agent. She is always jovial and motivated. Her selling strategy paid off and we’re glad she’s our agent. Selling a house while the neighborhood is still constructing new houses is very challenging. Thanks to Ann and Jennifer for strategic advice. We got two excellent offers for the house due to their excellent marketing strategy."
- Christopher John Franklin (Seller - VA)"Ann was amazing! She made me feel like her top priority. She quickly answered my calls and texts at any hour, answered any questions I had, and referred me to the best lender, inspector, mover, etc. She made buying my first home such an easy experience! I really couldn't be happier. Ann and everyone she pointed me to exceeded my expectations by a long shot."
- Bradley A Martinis (Buyer - MD)"Anne was GREAT! She was almost always available to meet for a showing (life gets in the way sometimes, no biggie) and was very attentive to what my wife and I were looking for in a house. What we were looking for changed more than a few times, and Anne always was up for helping us continue in the house search. I'd recommend Anne to literally anyone.
This was our first time buying a home, so the whole process was very novel to my wife and I. That said, Anne took the time to sit down with us before we agreed to work with us for about 2 hours to go over what we were looking for in a home and the myriad of paperwork involved. That may seem like overkill to some, but we really appreciated her taking that time to go over things so that when they came up, we were at least semi-knowledgeable about the topic and could have an intelligent enough conversation. All in all, the transaction was great, Anne is great!"
- Andrew Robinson (Buyer - VA)"Excellent, very responsive, listened to my expectations and found exactly what was discussed. Very pleasant to work with. Judy is organized, professional and delivers as expected"
- Peggy J"Laura kept us up to date on every deadline, answered every question and took care of things we felt overwhelmed with. I trusted Laura with every step of our move and she made the entire process run smoothly. I would also like to commend her on her sensitivity to COVID restrictions while in our home, when we visited prospective new homes and when potential buyers came through ours. Laura is a professional in every sense of the word. She is a trusted realtor that I will happily recommend to friends!"
- Shannon Jeanne Freeman"I just wanted to send you a note about my experience with Laura Schwartz with the sale of two of my relatives homes in 2020.
My father-in-law needed to get his home in Reston; freshened up and staged within 3weeks of signing with a realtor. They already had a realtor. We were alarmed there was no plan from that realtor. My father-in-law said we could suggest someone but only if they were tops in the area, and that we knew and trusted them. We asked Laura.
Laura came into the listing presentation with a plan to get the house up and ready by her team of contractors within a week. Her moving team also was there within the week. The house went on the market within 3weeks of signing including staging and photos/brochures. She secured 7 offers within 4 days, and a sales price 47k over the list price! We knew she was good but she went way above the call of duty to make sure everything was; easy, professional, and sold at top dollar. All that while taking care of the special needs of a senior citizen.
My husband and I found ourselves in a somewhat similar situation where my relative needed to move quickly into a retirement home. This home in Alex. was in an area where homes are knocked down to build a mansion. She called all the builders in the area and again secured the highest price ever for the lot size and took care of all the special requests needed to make this sale and move work.
I lucked upon finding Laura through my work and having sold real estate myself 30 years ago I know all that a great realtor needs to do to be great. Laura is that and more!"
- Ruth O'Hara"Karen is a wonderful agent. She guides us and gives us the time we need."
- Vania G.M."Martha has helped me twice now, both as buyer agent and over the past few months as a seller agent. I cannot emphasize how wonderful she is. She does her research and is a real expert on the Northern Virginia market. Her insights helped me navigate some stressful situations. She is incredibly responsive and helpful. I could not have asked for more!"
- Khang Tran"I feel working with [Kelly] was one of the best real estate experiences I've had. Everything went perfectly well and I would not hesitate recommending [her] to all my friends."
- Jonathan K."Exceptional. Kelly was incredibly efficient and always quick to answer any questions we had regarding the listing/selling process. Something that made her stand apart from other agents we interviewed was her enthusiasm and appreciation for the character in our old farm house in the city. This certainly helped us feel more confident as sellers. Through everything Kelly was fantastic...Her enthusiasm about our property helped us feel confident as we decided on a list price. We really appreciated her market knowledge and confidence."
- Carmen C."Shirley paid extra care & attention to me as a first time home buyer. She was amenable and made herself available within 24 hours whenever I asked her to speak with me. I would absolutely work with Shirley again! Her service level was excellent!"
- Tamba/Buyer"Marilyn Cantrell is the best agent one could ever hope for, she's one-of-a-kind and someone in whom I have total confidence and trust, for 16 years, 3 home purchases and sales, and counting."
- Donald G Mattingly, Repeat Client"Very good experience. Karen was always nice and easy to work with."
- Y Holmes"Very good experience. Very good experience. Jerry was professional and effective."
- Yuliana"Excellent, would highly recommend."
- Jeffrey Jozefski"Excellent service. Joan is like no other agent I have worked with before. She extremely knowledgeable about the market, communicates effectively, very kind, and thoughtful about your needs as a client. Joan did a great job listening to our needs and gave us really good advice around timing when to put the house for sale. She supported us through every step of the journey, but yet we never felt pressured to make any decision. Joan is a very skilled agent and excellent negotiator, which lead to the house going under contact within a couple of days of going into the market. We received 13offers within 2 days, and all offers had escalations up to 65K over the asking price. I never thought something like this would happen. I would choose Joan Reimann all the time and every time for buying or selling in the future."
- Valbona Z./Springfield"Judy was incredible help. Judy was very good at pointing out things to look for and giving heads up on things we should be concerned about in the future. She held our hand through the whole process and explained things perfectly."
- Neill V"Great professional services, and customer attention."
- Ramzi R"Susan O'Reilly is a consummate professional. She was empathetic, realistic, attuned to client needs, quite familiar with the local community market, and always armed with an excellent array of facts that were easy to understand. She also is an excellent marketer. My wife and I would heartily commend her services to anyone."
- SL"Jean was wonderful in helping us find a new home that met all our criteria. She worked well with our son to review many interesting properties and quickly grasped the qualities in a home that were important to us. She was responsive when opportunities arose and helped us make a choice with which we are very happy. With Jean's help, we were able to move in to our new home only four days after arriving in Northern Virginia. It doesn't get any better than that. We recommend her very highly."
- John S"My husband and I have had the pleasure of working with Martha Floyd as both a buyer and seller. She is professional, knowledgeable, detail-oriented, accessible and personable. I would recommend her highly for both a first time buyer/seller, as well as for someone who’s had some experience buying or selling a home. Martha has the ability to get to a quick understanding of your needs, and provides just the right amount of assistance and guidance so you have and understand all the information you need to make a big decision."
- Cathy M"The level of service was all that could be expected, anticipating issues and questions, having good answers and ideas, solid knowledge and sound reasoning, being available and responsive, both listening and speaking up . . . and a great result. Good marketing materials. Property was listed just as cover-19 lock-down went into effect, asking price adjusted accordingly, target buyer populations thought out, relations with tenants being asked to leave early handled directly by the agent rather than by me, safe viewing equipment put in place, and my anxiety and impatience kept calmed down."
- Charles Sethness"Cannot say enough good things about Martha. She has handled three sales for me, and every time she has delivered professionalism and quality."
- Tom Rettie"Martha is the best. We found an apartment for our son quickly with her assistance and it was always a pleasure to meet with her. She was prompt, always in good humor and willing to go the extra mile. Where she REALLY earned our respect was during the mortgage process. Literally anything that could have gone wrong, did. Our appraisal was too low - she got us up-to-date comparables we used to appeal the decision; our mortgage company wasn't responding - she made the phone calls and sent the e-mails following up; the owner did not have clear title - she found a title agent who negotiated the liens on the property down to a manageable level so we could buy the condo. She was always on the ball, looking out for our interests. We will definitely call Martha when it's time to sell our house and/or this apartment. Martha ROCKS!!!"
- Anne Aguilera"My wife and I recently used Martha Floyd as the realtor for the successful sale our condominium in Crystal City. I say "recently" because Martha is the only realtor I have used since she helped us buy a home in 2003 when we moved to northern Virginia. Simply put, Martha is the single best realtor I have ever worked with in my life.
Martha begins the real estate process by listening--carefully and attentively--to what you want, or at least what you think you want. She truly is an amazing listener. She is also wise enough to understand that your needs and desires can change once you become more familiar with a region, the market, and the offerings available. But she lets you discover that on your own, rather than imposing her views of what she thinks you need on you.
Martha is like a dog with a bone--she won't let go, she won't give up--she'll find a way to make it happen. When you get frustrated or dejected, she doesn't lose her cool, even when you do. She makes your rants and frustrations seem so reasonable, so understandable. And then she keeps right on trucking. Through sheer persistence she will get your transaction completed.
When you are buying a home, Martha sticks strictly to the price range you tell her you can afford. Many realtors try to upsell clients and show them properties outside of their price range to entice them into a larger sale, but Martha never does that. If you are selling your home, Martha will make suggestions about an appropriate price, but if you insist on a different price she will go with that, at least for the initial offering.
Martha stays in close contact with you during the sales process, constantly providing updates and additional information that will help a client make a good decision.
With Martha, you never have the slightest doubt about where her loyalty lies. She is truly committed to advancing the interests of her client to the best of her ability. She is a superb realtor, and I cannot recommend her highly enough."
"Martha has helped me twice now, both as buyer agent and over the past few months as a seller agent. I cannot emphasize how wonderful she is. She does her research and is a real expert on the Northern Virginia market. Her insights helped me navigate some stressful situations. She is incredibly responsive and helpful. I could not have asked for more!"
- Khang Tran"My husband and I recently bought a home, and we cannot imagine having this done without Marilyn's hard work! She is an exceptional agent - she is informative, knowledgeable, and extremely responsive. She provided detailed assessments of each property, and we learned a great deal during the search process. Once we found the home we loved, she worked hard to make sure the purchasing process went smoothly! Marilyn has a wealth of knowledge for the real estate market and if anyone is interested in buying or selling their home, we would highly recommend Marilyn! She is an incredible agent and we will be forever grateful for the time and energy she put into helping us buy our home!"
- Kelly and Nick, First Time Home Buyer"Truly outstanding! Chris helped me buy my first home and was the best realtor I could ask for! I knew next to nothing about the process. She was patient, kind, and professional every step of the way - she made the process unbelievably easy and helped me get a home I love!"
- IPM"Unlike our first broker, Ross was easy going and outstanding to work with at every phase of the process. But, he went above and beyond to help provide solutions to keep the deal on track after the sales contract was signed. I have been involved in numerous real estate transactions and i have never had anyone so dedicated to his client or to his job than Ross. He was worth every penny!"
- Chris and Sonia L."Lida was really attentive to what we were looking for and worked hard to help us find a home. I think Lida and her team performed beyond our expectations. Beatriz is amazing and they were both dedicated to getting us into a home we were happy with. "
- Patrick Duncker"Lida and her team are AMAZING!! Great communication and follow through! They worked so hard to ensure we found the best tenants for our home. I highly recommend them and will use them again and again!"
- Morris Courtney"House hunting during a pandemic was not an easy task, and searching for a home as a first-time homebuyer in a “seller’s market” seemed almost impossible. If it weren’t for Tom’s committed attitude and devotion to his clients, I don’t think I would be settled in my dream home! Tom has great communication skills, and values transparency as much as I did. Through the countless showings, sometimes within minutes of my request, I was able to see what options were available to me as a first-time homebuyer and I valued Tom’s professional opinion. He made the process of submitting an offer seamless and did so in a timely manner. I am so grateful for all of the time Tom spent setting up showings, communicating with the other agents, and tolerating my nervousness with each offer I made. It took 6 tries, but I am finally a happy home buyer, purchasing my dream home that was within my budget! "
- Mary Grace F."The woman who referred Jamie Koppersmith to me said he was fabulous but here's what made me call him. She said, "he always returns phone calls quickly." And.....that was true! My whole transaction was done long distance. The apartment needed work before it was put on the market and Jamie acted like it was his own house. He attended to details and helped manage workers to make sure everything was done. And then....wait for it....he ALWAYS followed up to make sure the work was done right! All with a personal and caring attitude about me and my family. And we got a good price too! I am sooo grateful to the woman who recommended Jamie Koppersmith! Thank YOU Jamie!
"
- Nancy B."Kelly's service was amazing. She was so patient and kind to us as young, first time homeowners. I never felt pressured to make any quick decisions and she provided a perfect balance of giving us space and guidance. Kelly was really easy to get in contact with and responded very quickly any time we had questions or wanted to schedule a showing."
- Alyse P."Kelly was fantastic to work with as first time home buyers. Walking us through the entire buying process put us at ease and she was so knowledgeable in the markets we were considering. Kelly exceeded all our expectations and her level of responsiveness is unmatched."
- Benjamin P."I worked with Kristina on the Jillian Keck Hogan team! I was referred by a good friend, whom Kristina has helped with both buying and selling in Virginia. I'm glad I listened because Kristina and her team did such a great job. She had a great feel for what I was looking for during the search process. As a first time home buyer, she provided a lot of knowledge during the offering and closing process that proved very helpful. She works fast and was able to help guide me in making a very competitive offer. This team also has a great connection with a local mortgage broker, which provided a great all around value package that helped in the entire process, from initial discussions to buying a new home. That connection was really important to me getting a new home because I had two great teams in sync working for me. I highly recommend choosing Kristina and the Jillian Keck Hogan team."
- Thomas K."We would like to recognize Sissy Zimmerman for her expertise and hard work in helping us buy and sell our homes. Over the years, Sissy has been our realtor and has also helped our son and daughter-in-law buy and sell several of their homes. With her deep and broad real estate knowledge and attention to detail, she has always offered expert and timely advice that enabled all of us to have a smooth transition in what could be a stressful time.
We recently bought the house across the street from us in Old Town Alexandria that was owned by our friends/neighbors. One might think that we wouldn’t need a realtor for what seemed to be a simple transaction, but they would be wrong. Sissy helped us at every step to negotiate price and conditions of the sale and was always on top of the situation in her communication with the sellers’ realtor and the lawyer handling the closing. She thought of several important things that we hadn’t, which made the transaction go more smoothly.
Selling our townhouse could have also been stressful. Sissy correctly urged us to move out before listing our house, and then she arranged for it to be newly painted, carpeted and staged throughout to become much more desirable. She answered every query by text, email and phone immediately and kept us updated on the situation, not only of our house but also on the two other homes on our block that went on sale a week or two after ours. After we received an offer, Sissy immediately came to our new house for us to sign the contract and all the paperwork and arranged for the home inspections and our closing within two weeks.
We would highly recommend Sissy Zimmerman as a realtor to anyone, but particularly in Old Town, where she is so familiar with the housing situation. She is great at buying/selling a house, but even better at following up on all the details (large and small) that accompany a purchase or sale. She is prompt and professional but also treats us like family and has made what could have been a difficult transition into a pleasure."
- Tom & Bonnie M."I am very pleased to write a recommendation for Alice Shank. Alice and I have worked on several successful real estate transactions together. I have worked with many realtors over the years, and she stands out among them. Alice is one of the most dedicated, hardworking and innovative people I've had the pleasure of working with in any capacity. She is also compassionate, kind and never misses the opportunity to help others. Alice is the type of person you can count on to keep a cool head in a stressful situation, and her positive attitude is contagious."
- Kaaren Lofgren, REALTOR®"I highly recommend Alice. From my perspective as a lawyer, career government attorney, and chief administrator of a federal court (before retirement), I have observed that Alice is indefatigable, positive, organized, skilled, and genuinely friendly. I trust she would add considerable value to your every endeavor in real estate."
- John S. Buckley"We had the absolute best level of service from our agent Lida Rippe. Lida makes a complicated process easy, simple and stress free. As first time home buyers, we had countless questions and concerns. Lida was with us every step of the way, explaining important details, advocating for our interests and ultimately getting us into our dream home. She is so amazing at her job and on top of that she is so kind, patient and fun! "
- Varun Kalyan"Fantastic!"
- Minoo Hejazi"Susan Tull O'Reilly did a fabulous job marketing and showing our house."
- BEL"Ann was amazing. She is so knowledgeable and helpful and did a fantastic job preparing us for our sale, helping us settle on an asking price, getting our house staged to show, and helping us through all steps of the process. Ann and her team did such an excellent job helping us sell our house. It was our first home sale and she helped us understand the process, determine a price, and guided us all along the way. She was extremely professional, helpful, and responsive. Her staging of the house and marketing materials were beautiful, and despite the challenges of the covid pandemic we had many showings and multiple offers in the first weekend on the market. We just closed and the entire process ran smoothly. Highly recommended."
- William Joel Hill (Seller - VA)"Only in our wildest dreams did we think we would ever experience the expertise and tenacity of someone like Linda French. She is an absolute gem. She worked TIRELESSLY for us the entire time we prepared our house for market and the short time it was for sale. She literally spent DAYS at our house rearranging furniture and making our home perfect for potential buyers. Linda coached us on arriving at the best price to approach the market, and we got FULL asking price. Linda is exemplary and exceptional….I wish I could think of a better adjective. Her dedication and diligence are unmatched. I am certain that she is a priceless find in the real estate world. We would work with Linda a million more times if we could. Hands-down, Linda is one of the best. Consider yourself lucky if you hire Linda, there aren’t many agents out there like her."
- M.T."Thank you for all your hard work in helping us find and secure a lovely rental while we prepare to purchase a home soon. We appreciate your support and dedication throughout the entire process. We are so ready to start looking for the perfect home with you.....again. "
- JN"When we first met you, you told us you would "be with us every step of the way...". Little did we know at that time the TRUE meaning of that statement. You were untiring, and the work you put into selling our house; time, attention and concern, was truly outstanding. Your attention to detail and your reassuring optimism are the qualities that brought us to this happy conclusion. "
- LF"Josue guided my husband and I through the whole home buying process with so much care and patience which, as first time home buyers, was very much appreciated. With his guidance we felt we had the education and confidence to pursue the home we wanted. From beginning to end Josue made himself available to our questions and concerns and would always encourage us to reach out to
him if ever there was anything we needed to make the experience as smooth as possible. I can say without a doubt that we had the most pleasant home buying experience ever!"
"Kate was amazing. As a first time home-buyer I was a bit apprehensive and confused but Kate made the process easy and stress free!"
- Adria"In the sale of our Bethesda condo, Craley provided exceptional service throughout the process. Craley brought an infectious energy to the sale of our condo. She arranged competent and economical staging and photography, and skillfully pursued interested buyers such that we got more than our asking price! "
- Carl"We have been clients of Jerry's for over 18 years and have just completed our 5th real estate transaction with her. Throughout our lives, we have dealt with many real estate professionals but none of them holds a candle to Jerry. She is the consummate professional in all of her work, whether it's preparing a listing, an offer, or an agreement of sale. When we bought our current home, the seller chose our offer, not because it was the highest but because it was the most professional, thanks to Jerry. Now that we have sold this same home, Jerry negotiated for us a full price offer with no contingencies and free rent back for 2 months.
Further, Jerry is energetic, friendly, timely, and extremely knowledgeable. And when she stages a house it looks like it belongs on the cover of a magazine. She is a miracle worker in that department as well!
Bottom Line...On a scale of 1-10 Jerry is a 20!"
- Steve and Katherine"Miriam was an irreplaceable asset to our home buying and selling process. She was a knowledgeable and informative resource as we navigated through some unusual situations during the contract stage of buying our home. She had the skill and an eye for high-end design to make our condo look the best it could which helped sell our condo for over asking price within a day! What is better than that??"
- Angela R."Can't say enough good things about Adrianna - always prompt, pleasant, accommodating, professional, thorough, sincere, caring and, excellent with follow-through/up. She's always smiling and her attitude is golden! "
- Sprina M."We had an amazing experience working with Collin to buy our first home! As first time home buyers, the process seemed intimidating at first. Collin was very responsive to all of our questions and made the process completely stress-free! With his help, we found the perfect townhouse in Reston and submitted a strong offer, which ended up winning over multiple other offers. He ensured that everything remained on track for our 21-day close. Collin is hardworking, honest, and professional. We highly recommend him and cannot thank him enough!"
- Kayla Zellmer"We entered the naturally competitive WMA housing market at a time of unprecedented high demand and unusually low inventory. We could not have found our home, much less won over other offers without Joan’s unparalleled expertise and honest guidance and Collin’s market knowledge, attention to detail, and professionalism. From our very first call to our final walkthrough, Joan and Collin were always thinking of ways to improve our competitiveness as buyers, and now our property value as first-time homeowners, while being unwaveringly respectful of our budget and our key concerns. As someone from a military family herself, Joan was also very familiar with the VA loan process and its related nuances, which made the whole process that much more seamless. Collin’s quick turnaround on the plethora of paperwork and tasks involved in the offer & closing processes was also invaluable. Thanks to their expert guidance, our offer was accepted (over multiple higher offers) on the first house we loved. We were even able to include an inspection as part of the contract, which – based on what we had researched beforehand – is not guaranteed in these market conditions. The famously parsimonious VA appraisal process even appraised it higher than the purchase price! "

- CK"My husband and I worked with Joan and Mina to buy a home in VA, while we were living in CA. We flew out for a single weekend, during a pandemic, to view homes. We found our forever home within a day, and in two days we were under contract. They were there every single step of the way to take care of everything with the house that needed to be done in person. I am convinced they never sleep! The two of them truly went above and beyond to make sure that my husband and I were happy and stress free. I could not recommend them enough. These two women are amazing and made our worlds a little brighter in such crazy times. "
- Emily M./McLean"Bob was the best possible guide we could’ve asked for during our first home-buying experience. He was generous with his time and attention, and really listened to what we wanted in our first home. During each visit to a prospective home, he went through a detailed inspection and looked for any potential issues or concerns and alerted us to them. He often went above and beyond, including reading the homeowners’ association documents for our condo and letting us know the major points, which was not required in his contract. Overall, we recommend Bob to everyone we know searching for or selling a home. We personally won’t be working with anyone else."
- Morgan C. and Judson G."...top notch...knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. "
- Maureen Filson"Tom is amazing, he was so helpful and supportive and found us the perfect home! Tom was an instrumental part of us landing the home we did. He was proactive in the search for our dream home and was supportive and knowledgeable of the areas [where] we were looking! He went above and beyond for us."
- Kelsey C."For the home buying/selling process, Kevin Bullock is the agent you want. He is the voice of reassurance and calm and is always professional. Kevin’s priority is the client’s satisfaction and he works toward that end with research, queries and his extensive network - all of which provide the information one needs to make key decisions. In addition, Kevin brings a strong financial perspective to support the client’s vision and move them toward their goal. These are just a few reasons why Kevin is so successful."
- Karen Harris"As a first-time home buyer, I have nothing but great things to say about Kevin Bullock. Working with him as my real estate agent has been a pleasant experience. Kevin is exceptionally knowledgeable, courteous, and thorough. But I am most appreciative of Kevin’s constant availability and willingness to go the extra mile. Kevin was able to arrange a showing within hours of a house hitting the market. He also helped keep things on schedule by providing documents and updates promptly. When I was unable to attend the home inspection, Kevin went in my stead. And when the house was left untidy a day before closing, Kevin ensured that the house was presentable before my move-in date. Kevin helped make my home buying process a smooth and successful one. Although this was my first time working with Kevin, it certainly will not be my last."
- Carl Tavares III"Over the years, I have had the experience of purchasing a few different properties. When I found the need to sell a property, I spoke to a variety of other realtors. Still, none showed me a variety of marketing strategies to sell until I found Kevin Bullock. I wanted to work with someone with knowledge of the market, creative ideas, and trustworthy practices. Kevin and The Barber Home Group was with me every step of the way to meet this tall order. From answering every call or email, no matter the time of day or night, to offering creative approaches to market the property, each interaction was professional, honest, and filled with beneficial information and hard-working strategies to sell the property. I never felt like they were only trying to close a deal, but thought that they were guiding me to make the best decision related to the transaction. Because of that, I would highly recommend The Barber Home Group to anyone searching for or selling a home and look forward to working with them again soon!"
- Eric Richardson"Dinora helped us find our rental last year when we moved to VA and then helped us find our new home this year. When I think about Dinora, her level of service, and the experience we’ve had with her, two words consistently come to mind, “Simply Amazing.” Dinora has a wealth of knowledge and her level of professionalism is unmatched. In addition, she is genuinely a kind and good-hearted individual who cares deeply for all of her clients. Buying in this market is hectic but Dinora made the process incredibly smooth and we sincerely enjoyed working with her. If we are ever in the market for a new home, or we know someone who is, I wouldn’t hesitate to refer them to Dinora and I can promise that we’ll never use any other Realtor."
- Isaac"If you are selling your house in Arlington, VA call Betsy Twigg - she is amazing! Many years ago we found a house in the neighborhood we loved and tried to quickly sell our house - it was a disaster that left a terrible taste in my mouth. Fast forward to a few months ago when we decided to leave the area and I was hesitant to work with any realtor. Betsy had sold a house a few doors down and I saw the house advertised in many areas I browse (ArlNow, Twitter, Facebook) so I decided to give her a call. I was so impressed with her knowledge of Arlington and team of people she uses to help your house sell quickly. Betsy outlined her process and was not pushy at all! She wanted the best for me and my family and it showed each step of the way. Anytime I had a problem such as needing a handyman to help me fix a few things Betsy had someone who would show up right away for a very fair price. Further, Betsy paid for the staging, window cleaning, and house cleaning out of pocket because it helps sell house faster. By the time we listed Betsy had already drummed up some interest and within days of being on the market we had multiple offers. Betsy gave great advice about where to spend a little money to make the house shine during the process and I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing agent!"
- Matt Barone"When we decided to move locally, Bretta patiently showed us many options until we found the perfect new home. She then helped us quickly prepare and sell our home. Bringing her energy, extensive knowledge of the market, and appreciation of the unique value of our home to bear, she sold it quickly and for a great price allowing us to move into our new home on time. Throughout the buying and selling processes, we always felt as if we were Bretta’s first priority. She took the time to understand our objectives and helped us achieve them. Her care and responsiveness were extraordinary, and we strongly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home in Alexandria."
- Emily and Daniel G""Jillian and her team are absolutely phenomenal. Great group of professionals with the unwavering customer service. I highly recommend Jillian and will use her in future purchases. Thanks!"
- Adrienne Munoz"Tom was great, very patient and listened to our concerns. He was open to us asking all sorts of questions and if he didn't have the answer would go research it."
- Tessa D.A."As usual, she was excellent...Mary Beth was on top of it the whole time. It was far from the biggest sale, but she treated it like it was [her] only listing. "
- Scott K."Josue was great, would recommend him to our friends."
- James H."We've worked with many realtors, but Dinora is on our short list of best realtors to work with. Her understanding of the local real estate market and rapport with clients is unparalleled. Her standards are high. You know she is truly dedicated and committed to her job and clients when she responds to texts late at night and coming up with creative ways to stay competitive during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are so glad to have found her and highly recommend her. She should be on the top list for sellers and buyers. "
- Robert Z."Dinora was an extremely knowledgeable and responsive realtor throughout our entire home sale process. She provided an immense amount of knowledge and help during our time working together. We talked with her about the promoter way to stage our home and get everything ready for our sale. She was always there to bounce our ideas off and decide the best route to make our home the most appealing to help with the sale. Dinora is such a great realtor and she will make sure your experience is smooth and beneficial to you. Her knowledge and experience really shows off with such a friendly manner. Anyone should be happy and lucky to be working with such an amazing person!"
- Peter"I have known Patty for 15 years and have worked with her with the selling of a home and the buying of a home. She has also worked with friends and family members of mine and I can highly recommend her as honest, reliable, knowledgeable and always puts her clients' needs first. Patty helped my home sell within 3 weeks with an excellent price and the entire process was easy from start to finish. She was patient and thorough with me during my home search last March 2020. We had to move fast, right before the quarantine, to get the contract ratified and she has great contacts and relationships with the individuals to make it happen. Patty still gives you that ole' fashion customer service and makes sure you are happy and satisfied with the process. I will definitely use her for my next sale and purchase."
- Helen"Exceptional service by a highly knowledgeable and adept agent. Catalina's experience and people skills, as well as her working with us to overcome the obstacles of making a purchase remotely from another state and with COVID restrictions were very much appreciated."
- James Delgado"Emily and I wanted to write you a special note of great appreciation for the extraordinary work you did to help us sell our house in Falls Church, VA. Not only did you work tirelessly to make sure every detail was carefully attended to, but you also provided wise counsel throughout the process that led to a phenomenal outcome: we sold our house at lightning speed for an amount that exceeded our highest expectations. Given the current interest rate hikes, economic uncertainty, and concerns about the United States heading into a recession, what you did for us was nothing short of miraculous!! Emily and I believe we sold this house for as much as we could ever hope to sell it for AND we believe the timing was absolutely perfect – for that we are deeply grateful to you.
Marilyn, you are, without a doubt, a world-class professional and a fierce advocate for your clients. We deeply appreciate the outstanding work you delivered for us concerning one of the biggest financial decisions of our lives."
- Emily and Matt, Repeat Client"Both Marshall and Kolleen were great communicators and efficient in all they did. "
- M Marshall Hansen"Excellent care and honesty."
- Deborah Lynn McCoy (Buyer - VA)"Chris was the definition of Above and Beyond! We anticipated having to wait months to find a house, but she managed to find our dream home really fast AND negotiated us into the best deal possible. We were working with a seller who had already moved out of the country. Chris managed the communication with their agent and we could not be happier. "
- AND"Joan Reimen is a true professional. Our experience was nothing less than outstanding with Joan at the helm. Couldn't be more
pleased and happy."
"We were an apprehensive retired couple selling our home of some 40 years which one son had repeatedly insisted was undesirable in today's market. While we interviewed a number of the leading realtors in our area, we did not “click” with any one in particular. At the same time, by happenstance, a dinner guest recommended Kristy Crombie to us.
We followed up with her and we are so happy we did. She and her partner, Erika Olsen, were the perfect match for us. We got an interior designer, downsizing expert, community resource director, and realtor all in one package with this team. They expertly and wisely recommended needed remodeling, repainting and presentation details and encouraged us when the downsizing got rough. The result was a house that sold swiftly at a very satisfactory price. We could not be more pleased with their services and could not recommend them more highly."
- Bob L. and Mary Martha M."If you want an agent that will listen and pay attention to your requests and wishes for your new home, Lida is the right person. She’s punctual, resourceful and attentive. She found the perfect fit home for us when we were expecting our first child and needed a bigger space. We will definitely be working with her in the future when we need to find another property."
- Katya L.This is our third time using Mason's skills to help us with our home transition. As first time sellers, Mason was patient with us with our questions, thorough, and informative. We felt like our sale was in perfect hands with Mason and she sold our house in a weekend for over asking! Best decision we made was choosing Mason to help us with that process and would recommend her to anyone!"
- Tim & Cara Thrun"We met Laura through friends of ours who were also looking for their new home. Laura was a fantastic resource for new home buyers. She walked us through the process and pointed out things about each house we saw that we otherwise wouldn't have noticed. We started searching in April, right as the pandemic market was heating up. She was readily available to view houses - sometimes with only a few hours' notice. The market was so hot that we had a hard time seeing houses before offers were submitted. We finally saw a house within hours of it listing. With her help and her suggested lenders' support, we were able to put in an offer almost immediately. She presented the comps for our house in a very insightful manner, which helped us assess fair market value. Within 36 hours of our house being listed, we were under contract! Each service Laura recommended was top-notch and highly responsive. She made our process so smooth that my husband and I kept waiting for the snag - surely it couldn't be this easy?! But it was. We have been in our new home for a few months, and couldn't be happier. While we plan to be in our house for the next 30 years, I would absolutely use Laura for any real estate transaction in the future and I'd highly recommend her to any friend or family member who starts looking. "
- Emma Chaiken"One can hardly say enough about the consummate professionalism of our real estate agent, Bob Johnson. Bob managed the sale of our condo with skill and efficiency. He helped us get our apartment ready for showing in the most attractive way. He had spectacular photos and a floor plan of the apartment made for the multiple listing that showed our apartment so well that we wondered briefly why we were selling it. His research as to pricing went well beyond checking comparables and his presentation of market trends and strategies made us quite comfortable with the asking price he recommended. And that confidence was rewarded. Our apartment was on the market for a total of four days when we reached a binding agreement with the buyers. And the price was right too; the negotiation took less than 24 hours and the final contract price was less than one-half of one percent below our asking price.
Bob’s service didn’t end there. A number of little things had to be addressed, and Bob arranged for and scheduled the contractors. We’re relocating across the country and Bob arranged for the mover and for transporting our cars. With these things little problems inevitably crop up and when they did, we just turned to Bob and he came up with the solution, which frequently meant that he did it himself. This was well beyond what a seller has the right to expect from a real estate agent. But Bob believes that his job is both to facilitate and to ease the transaction and to minimize the trauma. And in that regard, he was the perfect real estate agent."
- Michael and Linda G."I worked with Renneye Pike with McEnearny Associates, Inc. and I couldn't have been more pleased. She was very professional and knowledgeable in the real estate field, and was always anticipating the next step. In anticipating the next step, she was well prepared ahead of time. I am the Executor of my sister's estate and live in West Virginia, approximately four hours from my sister's condo in Northern Virginia that was being sold. Renneye was very pleasant to work with and she went out of her way to do things for me. Since I don't live locally, Renneye was able to recommend handymen to do some repairs to my sister's condo before placing it on the market. We received an offer for the asking price within two weeks of placing the condo on the market. I would not hesitate for an instant to recommend Renneye Pike and McEnearny Associates to anyone."
- Louise Wood"Fabulous! The best ever!! Bob is top notch; a true gentleman; he found us our dream home!"
- Lisa Dunner"Lauren is always on her game. She is very knowledgeable, professional and always pleasant to deal with."
- Christine Trauth"Lauren was wonderful! Couldn’t ask for better service!"
- Erin Rachel Weisenberger"Lauren was excellent, she was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful during our process. Our process took a lot longer than expected, in part because only one of us was in the city at the time and we were constricted to a challenging area to find property. But Lauren hung with us through it and we ended up finding the perfect place."
- Gregory Terryn"Sarah was amazing! She answered all of our questions and was available whenever we needed her. I would recommend Sarah to everyone!"
- D Nichols, Fairfax"My husband and I have had the pleasure of working with Martha Floyd as both a buyer and seller. She is professional, knowledgeable, deal-oriented, accessible, and personable. I would recommend her highly for both a first-time buyer/seller as well as for someone who's had some experience buying or selling a home. Martha has the ability to to get a quick understanding of your needs and provides just the right amount of assistance and guidance so you have and understand all the information you need to make a big decision."
- Catherine R Melton"Excellent service beyond what was expected of Sandy Chee. Miss Chee is the best agent we have ever dealt with. We owned and sold three homes. Her attention to detail, especially numbers, quick responses, and her professional knowledge and efficiency are exceptional. She effectively pointed out the positive and negative factors of a transaction. She represented our interests appropriately. She was great to work with and kept me calm and reassured when I needed to be. She is friendly and warm and easy to work with as she continues to help us. She is thorough and diligent... We absolutely would recommend her services again."
- TPC"Madeline was absolutely lovely and clearly knowledgable. As a first time buyer, she really took the time to explain things to me when I had questions. I referred her to my brother and sister-in-law before my purchase was even complete."
- Christina A."Very good!"
- M.A."Over my lifetime, I have purchased several homes, and Bay provided by far the best service of any real estate agent with whom I have worked. I cannot imagine how her services might have been better. She answered every phone call within minutes. She helped with many matters beyond the purchase itself, including the choice of lenders, contractors, etc."
- William Chip, Lovettsville, VA"Phuong is not only a stellar real estate agent, but she is highly knowledgeable in getting your existing home rented by potential tenants. Not only did I feel that I was high priority, but I felt as if I was her only client. Even during a global pandemic, Phuong worked diligently to find amazing tenants for my property. Even after the process was over, she followed up with me to see how things were doing with my new tenants. I am looking forward to continuing on working with her to purchase my next home. She is extremely communicative, friendly, professional, patient and I definitely recommend her. "
- P. Meade"Lori's meticulous attention to detail, advocacy, negotiating skills, intelligence, and work ethic are amazing!"
- Candice M."Karl went above and beyond for us. We bought our house overseas as first time homebuyers, and he was patient to make sure we understood everything about the home buying process, and was easy to communicate with despite the different time zones! It felt like he really had our best interest in mind the entire process, especially with the market being extremely difficult for our particular needs and budget.
"

- Christopher Lopez"Always available and extremely knowledgeable and well-connected. She gets the job done! Highly recommend Sharmane for her expertise and savvy home sales ability!"
- Lindsey Lopez"Working with Sharmane was an absolutely wonderful experience! As first time homebuyers, we knew very little about the process even after tons of research on our own. Sharmane has an incredible knowledge of the DMV area and the market. She spent so much time helping us refine our offer to make it work for us and for the seller! Homes sell fast in the DMV, but we felt confident every step of the way in making decisions and on putting down an offer on the place we loved! Because of her expertise, our offer on our home was accepted over several other offers! We would recommend her to everyone we know looking to buy or sell!"
- Michael & Cassie Tobias"[Sharmane] is very responsive and available. This was probably her best quality. She has good relationships with other realtors. She treated us like we were her priority. She was very patient. We felt comfortable asking her anything. She always made time for us. She made us feel that we were in control of what we saw and bid on--she never pressured us to select a specific home."
- Michael Chau"Working with Sharmane is amazing! She is a realtor you can trust because she is honest and tells it like it is, no sugar coating. In today’s market there’s no time for the dilly dally politics of real estate. She works faster than anyone I have seen. She does it with kindness and professionalism. Her negotiating skills are like no other. I look forward to working with her again when I purchase my next home."
- BJ Forte"Sharmane is very knowledgeable about the area--more than other agents we interviewed. Her best quality was her responsiveness and negotiation skills. She demonstrated her expertise to other agents. She never pressured us, and always treated us like we were her priority. We felt comfortable asking her anything. She was transparent too."
- April Cater"Sharmane is amazing to work with! She truly values the relationship with her customers and treats them like family. When we were trying to decide if we should buy she provided so much assistance, expertise and support! I would recommend Sharmane to anyone looking to buy or sell in the DMV area!! "
- Alexandra Dietel"If you are looking for an amazing realtor, look no further! Sharmane is very responsive and knows the ins and outs of the market. She has years of experience and I would not use any one else when buying or selling a house."
- Nick Ratajski"Sharmane is truly one of the best in the business. Her strength in negotiation resulted in us receiving over asking price when selling our home in less than 4 days in an area that averaged 70+. It also was very valuable when we purchased our fixer upper saving us $10’s of thousands of dollars. We cannot speak highly enough about her professionalism and highly recommend having her to represent you and your family when buying and selling real estate. "
- Cierra Ferreyra"Sharmane helped me through the process of buying my first home. She made it so easy and helped me navigate overcoming the anxiety of the whole process. I cannot say enough about her professionalism and expertise in helping me make the right choice. I am so happy with my place and highly recommend her for anyone searching for a new home."
- Jon Radke"Sharmane was awesome to work with. I was a first-time homebuyer, and she put me at ease during the process. I had complete confidence in her knowledge of real estate and her ability to represent my interests. I can’t recommend her enough! "
- Jessica Lewis"Sharmane is an absolute dream to work with! We first contacted Sharmane on a holiday weekend, and she helped us put an offer on a house within 48 hours of our first interaction. She is responsive, knowledgeable, and willing to explain the intricacies of real estate. I could not recommend her more to all of my friends! "
- Stephanie Stover"Sharmane is a dear friend and amazing realtor! She is so conscientious and dedicated to her clients. She makes the home buying process so easy and streamlined. We wouldn't want to use anyone else and are so thankful for her commitment to excellence!"
- Bonnie Schmitt"I would hire her again mainly for her negotiation skills. She is a proven fighter and will get you what you need. She saved us quite a bit in closing costs. One thing I definitely appreciated about her is she listened to us. She only showed us properties that were really within the details and price range that we requested upfront. She also fought for home inspection items that were identified. If we decide to move again, she’s the only agent we will use. I just like it that she’s in it for the long-haul...She also referred us to a better lending agent so we...dropped our original one and went with her recommendation. He was on top of his game as well. She’s created a nice team."
- Daniel & CeCee Crandall"I honestly can’t think of a more honest way to explain our experience with Shar, than to say “AMAZING”. From the moment you connect with her, she becomes a friend who works tirelessly on your behalf. Her passion for her business is evident in who she chooses as associates, her timeliness, and especially her negotiation skills. This is the woman you want in your corner."
- Beckee & Lee Bruno"Sharmane helped us sell our house. She made sure we had stunning photos for marketing. We ended up with several offers after the first open house. She is very responsive and an amazing negotiator - something not all realtors have as a strength but can make a difference of thousands of dollars when buying or selling! We are no longer in the area but I still recommend her to our friends there! "
- Rachel Sebring"I am so grateful for Sharmane’s assistance in selling and buying. [She] was so helpful from start to finish during the selling process. She was so kind during my bouts of anxiety and helped make this process as easy as possible for me. Based on her expertise we were able to get an offer during the first weekend on the market which was such a relief! I can’t thank her enough for all she helped me accomplish! I highly recommend Sharmane to anyone looking to buy or sell.
"
- Moira lozzi"Sharmane is super responsive and helped us navigate the whole process of selling our house. We got multiple offers the very first weekend! She is also a master negotiator which can make a huge difference in your bottom line. You will love working with her!"
- Lane Sebring"Sharmane is experienced and goes above and beyond in every capacity of her job. I was a first time home buyer and interviewed several realtors. Sharmane was honest, friendly and explained her process. She provided recommendations, but was never pushy. During the entire process Sharmane was patient with all my questions and always made me feel I came first. I put my offer in the same day as 3 other prospective buyers and I was fortunate to get the sale because of Sharmane's people skills to reach out to the selling realtor and make a connection with them and the seller. Almost 3 years later Sharmane still checks in and sends friendly notes like congrats on your home anniversary or hosts summer barbecues as a thank you to her clients. I definitely recommend Sharmane!"
- Jaclyn Scarcella"Sharmane is enthusiastic and helpful. She goes above and beyond to help you sell your home. She held an amazing open house, that led to our home being sold. She can very easily end up your friend."
- Deirdre Frey"Sharmane is a "Gem"!! She is both "Knowledgeable" & "Patient" and will put you and your interests "Front & Center" when it come to renegotiating on your behalf whether you are the "Buyer" or the "Seller". In our case, we were the former and she got the house we wanted to get; at the price we wanted to get it closed at with her "Fabulous Negotiation Skills"!"
- Indika Abranaweera"Sharmane is knowledgeable, friendly and knows how to get things done. We loved working with her to get our house. We had all the confidence in her and recommend her to anyone! "
- Rob Boots"Sharmane is THE BEST! She is so relational and fun and will make the whole process very personal. She is an expert negotiator and got us a great deal on our home. Sharmane is very knowledgeable about the area and the process and helped guide us to the right home. She is incredibly responsive too! She’s the person you want on your side during a real estate deal. "
- Bethany Boots"Sharmane helped me through my first home purchase always with a smile and always with a great wealth of knowledge about the market and how to go about things. She has been there for any questions I had from day one till today, while I’m deciding what to do next with my first home and how to go with the next steps in my family life. She knows the market, she is very professional and she has your back. Highly recommend her."
- Letizia Sirtori"Sharmane was absolutely amazing! She helped me tremendously on making the best decisions to benefit me. As a first time home buyer, the process was new and unfamiliar to me and she did a great job in helping me understand and coach me through every step. She also helped me sell my home and negotiated the sale of my home which sold for more than I expected. I highly recommend her!"
- Steve Trigilio"Shar was my realtor when I bought my first home (multi-level condo in Fairfax, VA). She had already sold a couple of my friends townhouses in the area, and is a good friend of mine, so I knew I could trust her. From the get-go, she took the initiative to send me active listings based on my requirements and follow-up with recommendations. As a first time home buyer I had a lot of questions; she was patient and walked me through the process. Based on her experience, she recommended a mortgage loan officer and inspection company that worked out great. When I found the house I wanted she arranged so I could see it the day it went on the market. I decided to put in an offer that day. The market was hot and there were several offers. She was very responsive through the offer paperwork, negotiation, and more...and it was Memorial Weekend. I got the place and it was a smooth transition. I have recommended her to other friends and would use her again."
- Heather Rabinowitz"Sharmane saved us $10's of thousands through her negotiating knowledge! When the home inspection came through, she made sure we wouldn't need to pay for major repairs that really needed to be done. She was patient with us as first time home buyers and guided us every step of the way. She made the home buying process stress-free and simple."
- Heather Waye"We had an awesome experience working with Miriam! She's incredibly knowledgeable about the northern VA real estate market as well as home buying best practices. As first-time home buyers, we really valued her patience, responsiveness, and easy-going manner. She allowed our interests and comfort-level to drive the process and answered our endless questions. We ended up being really happy with our purchase and the process as a whole. Would definitely recommend working with Miriam to find your next home!"
- Leslie & Neil"Robin & Barbara are an extraordinary team of realtors to work with, consummate professionals, extremely detailed, always informed, and bring a deep understanding of the Northern Virginia market. incredibly knowledgeable on every neighborhood we explored & true experts in uncovering the hidden, beautiful enclaves of top quality homes. They have guided my family through the past two home purchases with incredible care using state of the art online resources that streamlined our searches & maximized our time spent on home tours. They also really know their way around a house! Carefully pointing out important things to consider, assessing the house for maintenance & quality which helped us feel very confident in our investment decision. They are supportive throughout the whole process & provide great referrals for ongoing home upkeep. In addition to their professionalism & excellence, they both are wonderful human beings, so you really enjoy your time together! Robin was my primary contact and I looked forward to our house hunting days with her great sense of humor, positive attitude & endless patience with all my questions & concerns! When Covid hit she was resourceful, creative, and very calming while still managing to find our dream home! If you want smart, engaged & detailed professionals Robin & Barbara are your team!"
- Ruthie M, 2410 Luckett Avenue, Vienna, Va 22180"Joan Reimann was the best agent we could have hoped for. She was open and honest and treated us more like family than just a client. She went to bat for us and helped us to purchase our first single family house in our dream location; we highly recommend Joan to anybody in the market!"
- Cameron C., HerndonWe were very lucky to have Sue with our home purchase. This is the third time we worked with her over the last 12 years. As before, we were thoroughly impressed by her vast knowledge, sage advice, and incredibly detailed follow-up. Sue is great with prompt communication. This was an especially important tool to have during this purchase, as we were 5 hours ahead in a different time zone. This was also an unusual situation, as we were under lockdown in London due to Covid-19. Sue arranged multiple visits with our friends who gave us a live virtual tour. Sue was also incredibly responsive with rapidly moving competitive bids. For one of our bids, she was able to arrange a pre-inspection within a few hour's notice! We are really happy with our new home. We wouldn't be able to do it remotely without a trusted friend and advisor like Sue. Sue is an asset to McEnearney and the NW DC / MOCO real estate community. We are truly lucky to have the opportunity to work with her 3 times. We hope we are done with home purchase for a few decades now, but will continue recommending Sue to friends and colleagues.

- Daniel S."Excellent! Absolutely first-rate. Karl always was willing to go the extra mile."
- Jay R."Lida is extremely customer oriented. I have the highest praise for her and will go back to her for any future real estate transaction with no hesitation. "
- S.S."Collin Banks provided such an amazing experience helping us find a place to rent. It was a crazy market and he was honest and helped explain everything to us. It really helped take the stress out of finding the perfect place and we cannot be more ecstatic about our new home. I cannot provide enough thanks to Collin and the team for all their help!"
- Marissa Raiti"Sarah went above and beyond to help us in our move to northern Virginia. She helped us find a great home and did an amazing job
negotiating on our behalf. Strongly recommended!"
"For three very different residential real estate transactions, we’ve had the very good fortune to engage JaneEllen Saums and her teammate Joan Bready. Together they claim clients get “two for one” but I’d up that to three or four for one. Both are diligent, scrupulously honest, professionally knowledgeable, and possessed of a multitude of inner resources, among them patience, a willingness to listen, a sense of humor and boundless energy.
Most recently we asked JaneEllen and Joan to sell our house in Arlington; it sold in the first hour it was on the market! And yet the house sold for far more than we had ever hoped for. Skeptics might point to a hot market but that is not always a certainty for so quick a sale. Our house sold because JaneEllen and Joan knew our particular niche market, had their fingers on the pulse of current pricing and other factors such as interest rates, presented the house splendidly, and were tough (but fair!) negotiators. Left to our own devices, we would never have done so well. We were thrilled, the new owners were thrilled, and JaneEllen and Joan wrapped everything up beautifully, and presented us with a seamless closing.
In all three instances, I appreciated JaneEllen and Joan’s 24/7 availability, their unvarnished good advice, their attention to detail, and their insistence on due diligence. We’ll buy and/or sell again soon and have no doubt: JaneEllen and Joan will be our agents. I cannot recommend two people better qualified and able to offer outstanding real estate services. To them, my thanks, and to you, my advice: go with JaneEllen Saums and Joan Bready! "
- Peter Beck"We connected with Sarah while stationed overseas. We were looking for a place to live for our upcoming move to the United States. Sarah surpassed all our expectations of what a realtor can do to make sure we found a place that meets all our needs. She advocated for our family tirelessly until she found us a home in the right community. Even with the time difference and the other nuances of having an international client, Sarah was always responsive, professional and kind. We could not have been more happy to have Sarah as our realtor. If anyone is looking for a realtor in the VA, DC & MD area, Sarah is the best choice without question!"
- Nate Z., Reston"Laura is phenomenal - will recommend her to all of my friends moving to the area."
- Peter C Renals"Excellent! I feel as though Renneye went above and beyond what any other realtor would do for their clients. She answered all my questions in a timely fashion and made certain I understood everything. Since I live in West Virginia, Renneye helped me locate an electrician and handymen to do work in my sister's condo, and made arrangements to meet them at the condo to let them when I was unable to. She was also willing to run errands for me such as going to Home Depot to pick up items for the handymen and/or return them, as I couldn't because I was in West Virginia. She was good about making suggestions as to what could be done to improve the condo to make it more marketable and to get more money from it. She always kept me informed. I can't say enough good things about Renneye, and I would highly recommend her to anyone."
- Glenda Louise Smith Wood"Honest, professional, capable with a high level of market knowledge and sales expertise. In my limited experience of 10 real estate transactions, Ann McClure is the best agent with whom I have had the pleasure to work."
- Daniel LaBerge (Seller - VA)"Shirley was amazing! Initially, I had a verbal agreement to partner with the agent that sold me the property 2 years ago McEnearney was contacted for a 2nd market analysis. After Shirley's presentation, I knew she was the one to assist my wife and I with the sell. Shirley was friendly, personable, knowledgeable about the local market, and very confident. She had a vision of what the buyers would appreciate about our house. Aside from being a subject matter expert, we are living during crazy times; safety precautions were very important to Shirley. I was always comfortable with the steps that were taken to ensure our safety."
- PALMA/SELLER"Great"
- F Jian Little Leaf LLC"Every day Sarah offered to drive all over NoVa to show us homes. She worked so hard for us. Ultimately she found our five star home and under budget to boot. Thank you, Sarah!"
- Chris Stankevitz, Arlington"5 Stars. Fantastic, she was so friendly and knowledgeable."
- Laura Lamb, Reston"The best agent we have ever worked with, very honest, professional, knowledgeable in o instruction aspects"
- Rubin S"Gretchyn Meinken, Estate Lawyer recommended McEnearney Asssociates where Melissa Rosario was Certified in Maryland to help me with selling this house. The house was advertised on July 1, 2020 by the end of July 6, 2020 we had 7 Offers. We then closed off the bidding and the bid that was accepted was $20,000 over list price. Not only did she sell the house quickly but compared it to other houses and sent me the details of other houses in the area. Melissa provided the Appraiser with a detailed packet that included information about the neighborhood. Melissa followed-up with all the calls I made to her at any time of day. Sara and I thought it was outstanding how she worked any time and any time of day and did it on her own time. Melissa spent time of her own to sit down with me and my wife Sara to get to know us. Melissa even helped cleaning out the garage and checked on the house weekly. We went to settlement a month later. Again, I can’t stress enough how professional she was in helping us sell this house."
- J. Thompson"Jamie Koppersmith is an excellent realtor. He has lived in Washington, DC for a long time and in different neighborhoods, so he is very knowledgeable about the different neighborhoods and is a real asset in choosing where you want to live. He also takes the time to get to know you and what it is that you value in choosing a home so he can help you if something he thinks you like comes on the market. Lastly, he's patient and will be there every step of the way whether you're choosing your starter or forever home."
- Harold Agbahiwe"Jamie guided us throughout the entire selling process and provided us with sound advice despite the COVID-19 related challenges facing the housing market. He is extremely responsive with his clients and always provided me with the information I needed. I am very happy with the service Jamie provided us and plan to work with him when we buy our next home.
"
- Arlene Brens Figueroa"We could not have been more pleased with their services. They are two of the Top Agents in the area and I would never use anyone but them. We did not have even one glitch in our listing and sale. "
- Horace Reid L"Renneye is amazing! She is straightforward and goes above and beyond to help. She remembered everything I was looking for in an apartment, and she notified me of new listings I had not seen. Once I selected a place, she walked me through every aspect of the process and even gave me a detailed tour of my new building. She would be my first choice if I needed to find another apartment."
- Laura Butchy"Outstanding."
- Robert T Mersdorf"5 Stars. As always, Sarah went above and beyond for us. I was looking for an investment property this time and she took the time to comb through listings herself to find me the property I ended up with. This is our 3rd time working with Sarah and she always does her best to find us something that fits and then uses all her cards to help us secure a contract."
- Jyothi Fernandez, Alexandria"We could not imagine buying our first home with anyone else but Bob! As first-time home buyers, Bob really put us at ease spending hours answering our questions and shedding light on things we weren't knowledgeable about. The home buying process can be really stressful, but knowing we had Bob in our corner advocating for us made it so much easier.
Bob was always patient with us and most importantly ALWAYS put us first throughout the home-buying process. He never pushed us to do anything that we were not comfortable with and always worked within the financial boundaries that we had set. From our first offer to the closing on our new home, never did we question any of our decisions. "
- Patsy and Paul T."She was wonderful to work with throughout our process of finding a house. Mary Beth was very communicative, timely, thorough, and respectful of our wishes. She always remained professional, even when we had her running around all over for months and months! We appreciated how much work she put into our search and that she continued to encourage us during a very challenging and frustrating time. We felt comfortable with Mary Beth from the beginning and recognized that she prioritized integrity and professionalism. In addition, Mary Beth's references and contacts for service providers were very good, which was another great aspect of getting to work with her. We would certainly recommend her and your agency to our friends and family."
- Anne-Marie C."James did not let me down. He followed through on everything that we discussed over the entire 6 months that he worked for me...Ultimately, James is someone that can deliver results for a seller... "
- Steven P."Excellent support throughout the process."
- Nader"Exceptional. Jean is officially family. We respond s quickly and ensures we understood every step of the process. She also fought for us to be treated fairly and kept our interests first during interactions with the sellers agent."
- Sonya Denise W"Jean was amazing! Very knowledgable and professional. She listened to our wants and needs and found us our dream home!"
- Kaitlin F H"Our agent Jean Beatty provided an outstanding service in the search of a rental while we were abroad and could not visit the house in person. She understood our needs and navigated us smoothly through the process of finding the house, looking at the house and signing the contract for the house. She was always available for us, gave us her honest opinion and had an eye for what is important in every situation. She is so pleasant to work with, always reliable, friendly, kind, honest and encouraging. We could not have been in better hands!"
- Markus G"Buying a home is by far one of the largest purchases anyone will make in their lifetime. Dinora goes above and beyond for all of her clients. Her experience gives her the edge you need in a competitive market. She consistently prioritizes her education and knowledge of the NOVA area – making her a true asset to any broker and transaction. We started as her clients and are so grateful to end as friends. You do not want to buy a home without her. Seriously!"
- Jesse J."I met Dinora on a very cold November day at Messick’s Farm Market during a craft show. She introduced herself as a realtor, and as ironic as it may be, I sold her a couple wreaths. We chatted for a bit and she gave me her business card. My husband and I weren’t quite ready to sell our house yet but I knew from our short chat that day that we wanted Dinora to represent us. Fast forward two years, our townhouse sold in two days for top dollar. Dinora raises the standard for realtors everywhere with unmatched dedication to her clients and a level of caring like no other. If you choose anyone but Dinora to represent you in any real estate transaction – you are doing yourself a serious disservice. She is THE go-getter you want in your corner."
- Kayla J."Lisa Smith was very professional, listened to our needs, and was expeditious in finding us several groups of tenants to review and select for our renters. We highly recommend Lisa Smith!"
- Joseph D B"Fantastic Experience."
- Michael Anthony Nili"Having worked with Jonathan Kennedy previously, I knew he was the only agent I would have selected to represent me on the sale of this property. He is hardworking, focused on his clients as if you are his only client, follows up on every detail, explains things every step of the way, always available for any inquiry, and works to make sure the client is getting the best contract possible with his ideas and suggestions. Your company should be very proud to have such an up and coming young agent on staff who has so much to offer in the real estate field and is proving to be a rising star in the real estate business."
- Helen P Willingham"5 Stars. I really felt that Sarah took the time to understand our needs as a military family relocating to DC. She spent so much time helping us become acquainted with the area so we could choose a property that would best meet our needs. She advocated for us. She even sent me grocery store info so that I could immediately feel at home shopping in the area when I arrive. Sarah really went above and beyond to welcome us home from our overseas tour!
"
"I have been working with Lauren Tawil for almost 10 years now. From the purchase of my first home to various work-related moves (buying and selling) and now the purchase of my wife's and my forever home, Lauren has been instrumental in the process every time. She has not only acted as an extremely professional realtor in helping us find the perfect home we were looking for but also as a trusted friend advising us when we needed some help in decision making. She has made the process as smooth as can be and always keeps track of every outstanding item up to and sometimes even after closing. With the concurrent sale of our townhouse, while buying our forever home, she worked to stage the townhouse perfectly and helped us set a target price where we received an offer shortly after going to market even during COVID-19. While we won't be in the market for a home for some time, we will definitely work with Lauren the first chance that we can in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in the DC area."
- Justin Janaskie"Excellent! Colleen was so easy to work with, very efficient. She was able to solve problems before I knew they existed! She is an excellent communicator; kept us informed every step of the way. She could not have been nicer."
- JC Laderberg"Colleen was exceptional! We had a really unique situation (military family coming from overseas with a toddler in the middle of a pandemic) and she made the process absolutely pain and stress free. She was clear and very responsive in her communications, very flexible and accommodating with her time, and she really listened to our priorities with empathy and candid feedback. I would absolutely, without hesitation recommend working with Colleen! Her level of commitment and attention to detail were phenomenal."
- R. Wayland"Nora provided top level service during my home buying journey! She was always available and really stepped her game during these uncertain times. She helped me through the whole home buying process virtually, visiting multiple properties in person to share with me over video, and connecting me to other resources that might help me along the way. As a first time home buyer, the process can appear quite overwhelming, but with Nora's assistance I really felt prepared for all the steps from property search to closing. She truly is wonderful to work with and it was obvious that she had great relationships not only with her team, but the mortgage and title companies as well. So glad to have had her help and definitely recommend her to anyone else looking for an agent."
- Brooke"James is highly skilled in customer service. He attended to our needs at every step of the way without being overbearing. James somehow always had the time to answer our questions or set up private showings (at the peak of the Covid craziness) while juggling multiple other clients. I don't think he took a single day off since we started working with him."
- Blake T."Excellent service. Mary Beth is the best. She is knowledgeable about the area. She responded promptly and was available every step of the way. Mary Beth kept us on track, gave expert advice, and was the utmost professional."
- Jessica C."Excellent."
- James H."Excellent service! Kelly responded and was available at all hours to discuss any details or issues."
- Ann T."Excellent service. Knowledgeable. Thorough. Patient. Timely responses."
- Kaitlin Strickland"Lynn came with such a glowing recommendation from a trusted friend that we did not interview anyone else. Lynn is warm, knowledgeable, and provided us with service of the highest caliber."
- Richard A Nielsen"5 Stars. Excellent! Sarah Fox was maximum helpful, knowledgeable, and kind!"
- Stephanie B., Arlington"Lauren was incredible and made me feel supported throughout the whole process. Lauren made finding a condo during quarantine stress-free. She made sure to listen to all of the things I was looking for in a new home and stayed motivated to find a place that I would love! I loved working with Lauren and appreciate her special touches as an agent."
- V.T."Susan is fantastic! She went above and beyond to help us buy a house. We have deeply appreciated her guidance, relaxed demeanor, patience, persistence, and masterful sleuthing to help us find our first house."
- AP, Arlington VA"Susan was excellent!"
- NJO, Reston VA"In the past 5 years I have worked with 4 realtors on transactions that resulted in signed contracts. Yet I chose to self-represent on my latest home purchase. I met Dinora, who was the seller's agent, after bitter encounters with an agent who was more gate-keeper than facilitator and another whose priority seemed to maximize commission at the client's expense. Licensing requirements permitting, Dinora will always be my go-to agent for furture transactions. And if not possible, she will be the standard by which all future agents will be measured. Her professionalism, her advocady and fairness, her collaborative spirit, and her extensive network of industry contacts made her invaluable to my home purchase. Dinora has a solution for every problem, and the ability to make dreams come true. Wile others may rely on the reputation of large firms to carry them, Dinora's performace speaks for itself. I highly recommend her."
- K. Monaro"Jamie is great! Very knowledgeable, very responsive. We really appreciated how flexible [McEnearney was] - we did most of this transaction from literally 8k miles away, during a pandemic, and thanks to your help we were able to close on our future home. "
- Jennifer White"We worked with Karen Martins in purchasing our first home last year. Karen was recommended to us by my brother and my sister-in-law, who purchased their first home the year before. Karen’s patience and professionalism in guiding us through the process made the experience much easier than we had anticipated. Karen is a great communicator and was always very responsive to our questions and needs. We really appreciated Karen’s constant positive, cheerful attitude throughout the inevitable bumps in the road. I can highly recommend Karen for her expertise, sound advice, and dedication!"
- Grace Elliott"Dinora came in very knowledgeable with the local market situation espcially when the unit listed was at the beginning of the COVID-19 shutdown. Within 2 months we had a rock solid offer. She was very accommodating for me as an out-of-state seller of a rental property. Best of all she got a full price offer for me. Very east to work with and the regular video updates were very charming."
- Monte E."We used Dinora Chacon to sell our home in Woodbridge VA this summer and she exceptional. I spoke with Dinora and then met with her at our home. She spent hours answering our questions, providing objective data regarding how many homes she has sold, how long her listings typically stay on the market, and providing tons of info on comps in the area. Dinora made the process incredibly easy and took extra steps many other Realtors don't (but should), like having a pro come and give us staging tips, having professional photographs taken, and a lot more. When we saw our listing we were blown away. Her hard work and knowledge of what it takes to sell a home really paid off - our listing looked amazing and knocked out the competition. The third buyer that saw the property put in an offer. Our house went under contract 4 days after we put it on the market at over asking price. We accepted and Dinora walked us through every step of the closing process. When we encountered a hiccup during the closing process, Dinora acted quickly and saved the deal. It couldn't have been a more pleasant experience. I will continue to recommended Dinora Chacon and her team to everyone I know. She’s a true professional and a genuinely nice person. I realize it won't always be this easy to sell a home, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better Realtor."
- Carla F."Robin was amazing! She thoroughly explained everything from the beginning and didn't waste *any* time with getting outstanding pictures taken, competitively pricing our home, getting people in the door (while showing the proper courtesies and respect due during a pandemic), and walking us through the offers... which we were very happy with. We weren't sure what to expect, but it was such a positive, stress-free process. We can't rave about her enough!
List price $649,000 Sold in 4 days for $675,500!"
- Larry and Erin Conner, 2953 Fairhill Road"We lived in our home on Russell Road for nearly 40 years. We raised our two daughters and four grandchildren, celebrated holidays, family dinners and much much more in our home. When we decided to downsize and move, we knew we needed a realtor who appreciated a 100-year-old house, with significant renovations and wonderful memories that we held dear. Our search ended when we met Mason Bavin, an agent with McEneaney.
Mason is a proud long-time Alexandria resident who knows and appreciates the value of older homes and the uniqueness of Alexandria neighborhoods. She appreciated the work and the love we had put into the house. She immediately understood and addressed the emotional connection to the house that we had made our home.
Mason’s friendly, personal transparent style made the process flow effortlessly. Her knowledge of the preparation and staging of the house, as well as the listing and showing process was thorough. No question or concern was too small. Mason is detail-oriented, which instills confidence. She managed the process with us, not just for us. We had open and frank discussions about all topics, with special focus as we determined the listing price. Her expertise and experience showed through as we proceeded.
The COVID-19 crisis exploded just as we signed our agreement to work with Mason. This was a unique, new and very unexpected challenge that complicated the context for the sale. But with Mason we forged ahead maintaining flexibility as we discussed and then proceeded to market our home utilizing a full range of technology and written approaches. Creative adaptability characterizes Mason’s approach to this serious challenge, not to mention matching face masks with her fashions. Mason, always improving her skills, utilized new tools and strategies to accommodate for the COVID-19 restrictions. The comprehensive approach proved successful in a short time. Our home sold to our satisfaction.
With deep appreciation for the service Mason provided us, we highly recommend you strongly consider Mason Bavin as your realtor. We look forward to our continued friendship we forged with Mason through this process, a testament to her approach and genuine openness."
- Bernie & Nancy"Tom did an exceptional job trying to satisfy my every need. In a difficult time of COVID-19, he was able to get me to the point of being able to purchase a condo. No easy task."
- Kimberly Ann C."I thoroughly enjoyed working with Mary Beth Taylor! She was readily available, very knowledgeable and ALWAYS willing to go beyond the call of duty. We were dealing with [the sale of] our parents' home, Power of Attorney and other issues that made it a bit more complicated than a regular sale...[Mary Beth] handled things that we were not equipped to handle. She was also a wonderful liaison between buyer and seller; working very well with the other agent etc. I would highly recommend Mary Beth to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."
- Kara P."Bob is the only real estate agent that I will refer to friends who are looking to buy or sell a home in Northern Virginia. As our buyer’s agent, he was highly knowledgeable of the market and worked through the purchase process saving us time and money with lender and vendor recommendations. Across the process, Bob helped us understand each step and ensured we didn’t miss any deadlines – he is extremely professional, patient, and is delightful to work with. "
- Hugh & Tip"When it comes to having someone represent your home, there are few as experienced and understanding of your needs than McEnearney Associates. Through the guidance and support of Agent Sandy Chee, we were able to navigate the current COVID environment and receive a full asking price offer in just a few days. Sandy also ensured the house closed on time. Her ability to answer our questions and put us at ease throughout the selling process was nothing short of spectacular. As a homeowner, I look for a professional partnership when selling a home. With Sandy Chee and McEnearney Associates, I got a team dedicated to my family’s best interest."
- Steven Gardner"Lisa was the consummate professional in managing the listing and sale of our home in Alexandria. Covid19 has brought many changes to our world and we had concerns about putting our house on the market when we did. Lisa was the expert on the strategy for handling the challenges and the reassuring voice addressing our uncertainties. With her enthusiasm and counsel, we moved forward to a rapid and extremely harmonious deal. Lisa is a joy to work with and is highly flexible and collaborative. Her ability to use the latest marketing technology effectively brought us a buyer in two days. Her warm personality and excellent interpersonal skills turned a stressful time into a truly enjoyable experience. Our thanks and appreciation for Lisa as a partner in selling our home."
- Jasper Womach and Marilynne Black"Terrific Realtor. My husband and I were not on the same page in what we wanted in our house but Matt was patient and helped us find the perfect place for both of us. We couldn't be happier with what he found."
- Michelle S."I would be happy to refer Mary Beth Taylor as a real estate agent to any prospective buyer or seller...I [have] used her on three very different transactions...In all three cases, the same outstanding qualities were always present. Mary Beth was always thorough in her work, and at times, was managing agents on the other side of the deal, which I was grateful for. She was always dedicated to her clients, and her job [which] was apparent in the hours and work she put in...Mary Beth is a smart agent, and reads all parties well, which then allows her to be able to communicate with each agent, and party, from an individual angle – understanding, one size does not fit all. She was always available, which was important in all three negotiations, and had a list of available resources which was necessary in all three cases as well. I would highly recommend Mary Beth for any residential real estate transaction."
- Kelley E."It was a pleasure working with Tom Williams. His dedication and client service was outstanding. I would highly recommend working with Tom on the purchase or sale of a future home. Tom was able to sell our condo above asking price at the height of the coronavirus pandemic in 11 days. That is praiseworthy!
"
- Maureen D."Outstanding service from Josue. Our buying experience went so smoothly and it’s all thanks to Josue. He is extremely knowledgeable about anything and everything the process entails (which we accepted with open arms being first-time homebuyers). He was always available to answer questions or give us advice. Every experience we had with him was a great one. Could not recommend Josue enough. We are so grateful for him and all he did for us!"
- Abigail F."I had heard great things about Janet before I put my house on the market. I saw for myself how quickly the houses she handled in my neighborhood sold. She exceeded my expectations. From our first meeting until the closing, Janet was incredibly professional, helpful, and on top of every single detail. Her suggestions were reasonable and spot on, helping me get the most value from the work I did to ready my home for sale. I am retiring and leaving a home I have loved for almost 20 years. Working with Janet has made this transition so much easier. It has truly been a pleasure."
- Kathryn T., Alexandria, VA"Real estate is about local knowledge and Janet is the best expert on it. She is the master in Belle Haven and Mount Vernon. Janet Price just helped me to sell my house. The house was less than two days in the market and it was sold. The main factor of it was Janet’s strategy about the market: timing and pricing, and at the same level her artful skill to leverage the house. I fully trusted Janet’s advice about repairs and details before the house was ready for the market and she delivered with her team. I couldn’t recognize my house after her talented touch. Pictures looked as a house out of magazine catalog. And the outcomes were there. At opening there were more than fifteen interested and in two days offers were received and closing prices were higher than initially requested. I have one qualification for her performance: outstanding!"
- Oscar and Ana Maria O." Janet- You are a Super Star. I do not have words to thank you for making this happen with us!"
- Rebecca A."Thank you, Janet. You made me so happy!"
- Peggy M."Melissa did an excellent job during the process of helping my family find our home. She didn’t rush us or pressure us to decide and it took quite a while for us to find the perfect house. She is extremely responsive and was very generous with her time. The cherry on top is that she is a lovely person who we have become friends with through the process because she truly cares about all her clients!"
Erin C."Sarah Fox is absolutely excellent! She was an invaluable guide, explainer, advocate, and negotiator from the very beginning to the closing of the home buying process. We felt truly supported, understood, and encouraged throughout the journey of homeownership. We ended up in a home that more than meets our needs, fulfills our dreams, and with a closing deal that we feel great about! Would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home in the DMV."
- G. Urgo, Fairfax"I truly believe we got the house of our dreams because of Ann's strategy."
- Erika Cullingford (Buyer - MD)"Karen is a gem! She was quick to respond to anything we needed and was available around the clock for house tours, questions, feedback, etc. She put us first even when she didn't have to! All paperwork and house-related transactions went smoothly and without pause. Karen oversaw every detail and made sure we were well-informed throughout the whole process! We couldn't have asked for a better experience!"
- Nicholas E."Renneye overwhelmed us with her knowledge of the market in the Rotonda. Renneye was there to give us advice, meet the refrigerator delivery people after we had moved out, and assist in replacing the bathroom fan. She definitely went above and beyond our expectations. The Rotonda Vonda was listed, sold, and closed in about 30 days. That says it all."
- Jennifer Cameron"Outstanding. Very pleasant, knows her job extremely well and very proactive."
- Satisfied Customer"Above and beyond, every step of the way through the entire process. Full trust and reliability in everything Ann provided, and cannot wait till she helps us buy our next new home. Ann and her team did a phenomenal job. Being out of the area, they made every effort and sometimes more than we would’ve expected to ensure the sale of our townhouse. Above and beyond communication, along with the legitimate personal connection in achieving what we desired. The fact we could have honest conversations, really helped."
- Christopher Daniluck (Seller - VA)"The caliber and quality of real estate agents, combined with the company's years of experience, expertise, resources and customer service are the reasons I choose, and recommend, McEnearney Associates, Inc. for anything real estate."
- Sandra Schwarz"Ann McClure is a highly skilled real estate professional. She went above and beyond any expectations to see that my house sale completed, despite many complications imposed by the buyers' agent. I can't say enough about her knowledge of real estate trends, marketing and contracts, along with her ability to assemble the right people for the job. Combined with the resources of a company like McEnearney Associates, Inc., and I can't say enough about the level of confidence I had in trusting her with the sale of my house. What should have been a simple home sale turned difficult due to the buyers' agent. My realtor, Ann McClure, worked tirelessly to navigate some very tricky contractural issues brought on by a lack of knowledge and expertise on the part of the buyers' agent. She went the extra mile to involve McEnearney's broker, Jon Wolford, getting him to establish communications with the other agent's broker. In the end, the sale was successful. Without a highly skilled real estate agent, supported by the best resources available, this sale would have ended disastrously."
- Sandra Schwarz (Seller - VA)"Exceptional. Shirley was constantly communicating and providing us with updates as to what was happening. It was really great to know that she actually took the time to invest in our success. I appreciate being kept in the loop. Even when things weren't happening Shirley made sure to keep us informed as to what she was doing so that we knew that she was working even when we weren't reaching out to her for information. Success is never a guarantee but knowing that the person working with you cares enough to make a continuous effort really feels great. We have already recommended friends to Shirley and will continue to do so."
- Haftvani"My agents were responsive, proactive, and exceedingly helpful in every way. I could not have asked for two better people to walk me through this process. My agents communicated frequently and considerately explained every step along the way - as a first time home buyer - it was great to have their guidance."
- Stephanie Holzinger"Betsy was wonderful. She was on top of things and worked very cooperatively with the current tenant while trying to show the place to prospective tenants. She explained things very clearly and always was available for any questions during the process. I will use her again for sure. The information provided was very helpful in making my decision about the prospective tenants. I'm overall very pleased with the services received as part of this transaction. McEnearney Associates and Betsy provided excellent service and I would recommend them to my friends and family."
- N. M., McLean, VA"Karen was fantastic to work with! She was patient and answered all our questions and advocated with the sellers on our behalf. She was there for us every time we needed her and even when we didn’t know we needed her. She checked on us even after our home purchase was complete. We were so pleased with the outstanding service we received that I referred friends from out of state that were looking for a realtor to Karen. She is classy and professional, not a combination you often get these days and I appreciated her honesty, I felt like I had family looking out for me and my best interest."
- D. Dunning"Jerry was fantastic to work with! She was patient and answered all our questions and advocated with the sellers on our behalf. She was there for us every time we needed her and even when we didn’t know we needed her. She checked on us even after our home purchase was complete. We were so pleased with the outstanding service we received that I referred friends from out of state that were looking for a realtor to Jerry. She is classy and professional, not a combination you often get these days and I appreciated her honesty, I felt like I had family looking out for me and my best interest."
- Denise D."Excellent resource, very patient and professional! She’s not only our agent but has become a trusted friend - she knows the business and provided us valuable information about the home buying process and choice."
- S. M. L."Great to work with and so personable! Provided great service!"
- Peter and Amilia Vaughan"Great to work with and so personable! Provided great service!"
- P. & A. Vaughan"Top notch service during the entire process of selling our home. Could not be more pleased with the level of service provided by McEnearney Associates in the sale of our home."
- R. Dillon"Absolutely outstanding service in all aspects of the sale of our condominium, from production of a first class sales brochure and top notch advertising, to excellent suggestions on how best to show our home. Betsy did a fabulous job in every aspect of her sales responsibilities, so much so, that our condo sold in one week at a record high sales price for this particular floor plan. We could not be more pleased with the level of excellent service Betsy provided across the board. I would highly recommend her to any prospective clients in the future. The entire sales process form start to finish went flawlessly, thanks to Betsy's dedicated service, attention to detail, good communications, and her positive and very pleasant personality. Everything went very smoothly with no areas of the transaction experience requiring any improvement."
- R.D. & P.D., McLean, VA"Working with Jillian to sell our home was the best process. During uncertain times she kept us at ease and up to date with information. The process was seamless! She was patient, understanding, and quickly realized what we wanted in a new home. As second-time home buyers, I am thrilled we went with this team. An overall amazing experience."
- Julie Hartenbach"Jillian and the team are wonderful and know what they are doing!! My condo went under contract in under 4 days and for over my asking price. Jillian was also my realtor 7 years ago when I purchased my place and can honestly say that she is exactly what every buyer needs. Very responsive and able to answer every crazy question."
- Zeb Halani"Sue Kovaksly and the Jen Walker team were absolutely phenomenal to work with! We both sold our house and bought a bigger house with them, and we couldn't be happier. We worked with Sue and Jen for months to find the right house in the super competitive Del Ray market, and ultimately decided to sell our smaller house first. Sue went completely above and beyond, finding the perfect buyers for us and arranging an off-market sale that perfectly fit our needs. When the pandemic hit, we were mid-sale of our house - and Sue did everything imaginable to make sure we were comfortable. Then, she helped us find the perfect house just 2 miles away, and negotiated the opportunity to go under contract prior to the house being put on the market. Sue is obviously well-respected in the local real estate community and we definitely benefited from that!!!
And, more than being a truly great real estate agent, Sue is a great person - always positive, unflappable, and deeply invested in Del Ray and the larger Alexandria community. She and Jen are a phenomenal team and we would recommend them to anyone!!!"
- Maura Leary"We hadn’t planned on selling our first home or buying our forever home in 2019. But after stalking the Del Ray real estate listings for years, we reached out to the Jen Walker Team ‘just to see’ what would be possible. Their professionalism and deep knowledge of the Del Ray real estate market sold us on working with them, both as a buyer and a seller. Using her extensive network, Sue found us the home off-market which checked every box on our long list, which means we were actually able to afford our forever home *in* Del Ray. She then sold our rowhouse for $50,000 over asking price in four days.
“The best part of working with the entire Jen Walker team is the kindness they showed us. When a major medical emergency in the middle of the entire transaction threatened to unravel everything, they were with us the entire time, reassuring us of our options. When we run into them on the streets of Del Ray, the first question isn’t about the house - it’s about how we’re doing. That’s rare to find in the business world, and a reason why we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend others work with the Jen Walker team"
- Bradley and Christina Saull"Wendy was an amazing realtor to work with. She was punctual, professional and very knowledgeable about the market. She also knew a lot about the home inspection process. It was nice to have a realtor that knew it all, especially with some of the older houses in the area. We were a military family coming in from out of state and couldn’t be there when new houses came on the market. With it being a competitive market, she went above and beyond and would video conference with us so we could see properties before we made our in-town visit. I have never worked with a realtor that was as caring, honest, and responsive as she was. It was very refreshing to know someone we could trust was there helping us through one of the biggest financial decisions of our life."
- Allison & Steve P."My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Wendy when we purchased our first home in Alexandria. When it came time to selling our home, we didn’t think twice about reaching out to Wendy. She is absolutely phenomenal. We listed our home right at the start of the COVID pandemic. Wendy navigated the challenges of an uncertain real estate market with such professionalism and care. Wendy is detail oriented, organized, responsive (whether day or night), and overall, made the process all the better. She truly rolls up her sleeves and gets the job done. Wendy is very knowledgeable in the real estate industry and provided us with her sound real estate experience every step along the way. I can't say anything negative about Wendy, she is a very well rounded real estate agent. We are so grateful for Wendy and all that she did. Thank you Wendy!"
- Deblina & Travis R."We were very lucky to find Martha Floyd with McEnearney to handle the rental of our home. Martha was extremely knowledgeable, professional, responsive and a pleasure to work with. She helped us make decisions on needed updates and fixes to make our home stand out, as well as informing us when something was not necessary. She had beautiful professional photos done and she waged an extensive marketing campaign. Our home had multiple offers and a contract within a week of going on the market. We highly recommend Martha Floyd and McEnearney Associates!"
- Tom Goldberger"Wendy did a fantastic job selling my house in Alexandria, VA. I had to move to California and she handled all of the details from a distance. She took care of everything! She helped me move, handled getting my house fixed up, and staged and stayed in constant contact with me. If you are looking for a realtor who is positive, easy and enjoyable to work with, pays close attention to detail, is super reliable and knows her stuff - contact Wendy!"
- Megan W."In one of the more competitive markets in the United States, we looked at 30+ homes and only put down one bid. Not only did we win on this one bid, but we had a fairly high degree of confidence we would. This confidence came in large part thanks to Wendy's help. Wendy's knowledge of the real estate market is impressive, her guidance in contingencies and pricing invaluable, and her apparently unflappable patience with my incessant questions was ... well ... herculean. First time house hunting was easily one of the more stressful things I've done in the past half decade, and I know that without Wendy's help we would have been almost completely lost at sea."
- Aaron & Hillary R."Ross was an absolute pleasure to work with and was a key partner in the recent sale of my condominium. Ross is a consummate professional, very knowledgeable and makes his clients feel at ease with the myriad of details and sale process from the initial listing, showings, contract and closure. He makes his clients feel comfortable at all times and communicates well at every stage, through the inevitable hurdles and issues that arise during the process through to closing. I appreciate his professionalism and expertise immensely and highly recommend working with Ross."
- Leonard D."Bretta brings a wealth of knowledge in the Alexandria area ---schools, sports and activities for families. As a seller, we were very confident that Bretta would be a real asset. She proved us correct with her expertise along the way, and always keeping us apprised. It could not have been a smoother process, from listing to settlement. We highly recommend Bretta!"
- M. Marek"Excellent, as ever."
- M.P."You know you have a rock star in your midst. I’m sure if you ask your agents, they’ll tell you they are ALL rock stars. But Susan is the genuine article. She was detailed, timely, anticipatory, thoughtful, thorough, and the transaction was a banner success. She was also empathetic. This was our family home and there were different opinions on the merits of selling it. Thanks so much to you and Susan for your help. "
- MO"I've known Jillian for almost three years. I met her at one of her open houses and decided to sell my condo with her in early 2018. Later that year, I found a house I wanted when I was out of town and trusted Jillian (and my fiance) enough to buy it without seeing it in person. We decided to upgrade a few months ago, and Jillian and her team sold our house quickly and for above asking. She was very patient with us and took us to 14 houses during our pandemic search. When we found our house, Jillian did a great job negotiating price and repairs on our behalf. She really gave us peace of mind during the home inspection process (as we weren't allowed to attend) and helped push things forward with our lender, too. Jillian also has always made us feel like we were her only clients, which was obviously not the case. Enthusiastically recommend. "
- Anita A."Melissa was fantastic in guiding me-as a first time home buyer- through the process and was always pleasant to work with. She made sure I knew what consider when buying a home, and educated me on the process."
- M. Lidell"It seems that it was a stroke of fate and serious good luck that we crossed paths with Sarah Fox! Last fall, we were under a tight deadline to find a rental home (less than a week!) and Sarah made it happen. She was always incredibly responsive and willing to visit properties with short notice. Throughout the process, she not only listened to our needs but, we felt, truly heard what we were saying. At times, it even seemed that Sarah could better understand what we wanted in a home than we could! The contract review and lease signing went smoothly and effortlessly, thanks to Sarah's guidance. She is conscientious and insightful, providing us with valuable advice as we negotiated the lease terms. Fast forward a few months into our lease, we had some questions about our contract. Sarah stood ready to support us immediately. We felt the same attentiveness and genuine care for our case that we had experienced when touring properties with her. We know we can trust Sarah and we are so grateful to have such a knowledgeable and experienced realtor advocating for us! With Sarah, you'll always feel that you're a priority, which is a special quality for a professional who has many clients to tend to. Sarah approaches her business with kindness, a gracious manner, and thoughtfulness. Sarah is truly a joy to work with -- she always met us with a smile and plenty of patience. When we couldn't tour a property with her, she was quick to tour on her own and send us video messages. After our move-in, we received a sweet package in the mail from Sarah, welcoming us to our new home and some gifts for our puppy. We feel blessed to have her as a friend and professional in our corner. Without a doubt, we look forward to working with Sarah again in the future, and we're constantly recommending her to our family and friends!"
- Maria A., Washington, D.C."Susan did a fantastic job."
- JO"We made such a great decision to work with Susan. Professional, detailed, great marketing, and empathy for our tough situation. I cannot give her a stronger recommendation."
- MO"My fiancé and I just purchased our first home with Wendy Santantonio as our realtor. To say she provided great service would be an understatement. Prior to Wendy, we had worked with two separate realtors the year before and both were disastrous. We were leery to begin looking again and had no idea how to find a reputable realtor. A friend recommended Wendy, so we decided to try our luck once more. From day one, Wendy made sure to understand our needs and concerns and guided us through our first home buying experience with a superior level of professionalism, organization and responsiveness. We also bought our house during COVID-19 and three days before we were to make settlement my fiancé’s father experienced a major heart attack sending us to upstate New York. We called Wendy on the drive up assuming we’d have to move settlement. Wendy immediately called our title company to determine alternative options, so we could stay in NY and still settle on our confirmed date. Thanks to Wendy and her ability to pivot in a complicated situation, we made settlement from NY. We are truly grateful to Wendy for her support and excellent service and will wholeheartedly recommend her to our friends and family."
- Nicole M. & Chris L."Terrific. Tom worked actively and tirelessly for us and deserves a large part of the credit for ensuring all details were worked out and the purchase occurred on time and without issue in a very challenging environment."
- Peter P."Karl is the leading authority on the real estate market in this area. He knows precisely which improvements a homeowner needs to make to grab the attention of all potential buyers. We listened to his suggestions and soon realized that...we should heed his advice... We followed his advice and the results are quite indicative of how perceptive and skillful Karl's mastery of home [selling] was...We had an offer [quickly]..., in the middle of a pandemic, no less. I knew I could trust Karl and he was able to step me through...closing, all done remotely and with remote online notary services.
Karl's attention to detail ensures that his clients will be treated fairly and with the utmost respect. Karl is the real deal. This is the definition of a great, knowledgeable agent. Conducting the closing during a pandemic where all parties are remote and online using new software and technology could have been a disaster. Karl made sure that it was nothing less than a success. His follow through to the nth detail is impressive."
- Ellen J."Alyssa was much more than a realtor for me during my home buying journey. She was a sounding board, consultant, investigator and skilled negotiator as I went through the process of evaluating options to construct a new home or buy existing. She did an enormous amount of research for me, meeting with builders and other agents to find viable options that would allow me to buy within my desired neighborhood. It was clear that she truly cared about me and was invested in finding the perfect solution for my family. Thanks to her help, we are now in our dream home and couldn’t be happier."
- Wendy S."I had the joy of working with Ramona who was in a word FABULOUS. She put me at ease throughout the process and was attuned to things I wanted in a home. Ramona was very patient and understanding with me. She gave me space when I needed to think. She was very personable and endearing. I love my home! It is clear she cares about her clients and treats them like family. I am so happy to have worked with her."
- Ursula Evans"Nora is an excellent agent, very professional, very knowledgeable, and worked hard to help get my home."
- Taghreed"Patty was extremely responsive and knowledgeable. She went above and beyond to assist us with referrals for preparation of the house for the sale, and would regularly go past the house to check on the progress of work being done since it was vacant. Very professional and personable. Patty ensured the sale went smoothly and kept me informed all the time during the process...and it all went smoothly."
- Victor"Sarah was excellent about letting me know what was normal, typical, and abnormal. She laid out all the options for me to evaluate. I never felt pressured by her to make a decision that would benefit anyone but me. During the turbulent time of COVID she excelled and pivoted when needed. If she felt like she didn’t know something or if I asked for a second opinion she always reached out to McEnearney."
- Margaret McCollum"[Kate] went above and beyond to help me and my boyfriend find a place. Even during a raging pandemic, she was always eager to
get out into the field and give us a meaningful tour of the places we liked! Kate was transparent about answering our questions which
helped us feel more at ease at this new experience."
"Super top notch, from the beginning meeting to the closing signing Joel was honest, very informative and exceptionally diligent in keeping me advised every step of the way."
- E. Sweeney"Consistently superb. Both my wife and I were very pleased. Truly extraordinary!"
- R.N."Amazing service. Super helpful and willing to go above and beyond for us!"
- Kristin D."Both Clay and Sissy gave us their all. We could not have asked for more in their understanding of our needs/desires etc. They both were extremely professional."
- H.L."Kristy was outstanding from start to finish. She is very responsive at night, during the day, and on weekends. She is a very energetic, knowledgeable and trustworthy agent. If she runs across something (COVID-19) or other issue, she is sure to research and advise responsibly."
- John H."JaneEllen helped me navigate back-to-back settlements where timing was extremely important, and she was also a great negotiator. The final terms were better than I had ever expected! I found her to be very professional, extremely responsive, and knowledgeable. She always supported me and took the time to answer all of my questions. I would highly recommend her to anyone without hesitation! Last but not least she takes care of you as a family member rather than just an agent. "
- Hema Tamang"We had a wonderful experience with Tracy Dunn! She helped us buy our first home five years ago, and now helped us sell that same home. Tracy is very knowledgeable and answers or anticipates every question throughout the process. Our home was under contract in a couple days and sold above list price. We highly recommend Tracy!"
- John"Right from the start Tracy was very thorough. When we contacted her in the Fall of 2019 she immediately set a time to visit with us and determine our needs and a timeline for getting our home ready to list. We received frequent telephone, text and email follow-ups from Tracy."
- Stephen"We wanted to thank you for all of your assistance with the properties. It was very helpful having someone who lives in the neighborhood list and show the properties for us. You did a great job."
- Chris McArtor"First chose Tom at least 10 years ago. Since then absolutely outstanding service. His advice over the years was superb, about curb appeal, and about inside clutter. Work undertaken on his advice always felt good and worth the effort/expense when completed. When the decision to sell was made, his scheduling and showing led to a buyer right after the weekend. His willingness to manage cleanup so I could pre-sign and move was highly appreciated. Managing reliable subcontractors for the yard, charity, and hauling was particularly helpful and praiseworthy.
"
- Richard E."High level of personal goal-oriented discussions with respect to preparation/decor of condo prior to market introduction. Personal touches i.e. fresh fruit display, fresh flowers quite imaginative. Also, and quite important, timely contact by text, email and cell phone. Highly organized pre-plan sessions with Yolanda and my family prior to the formalization of the contract. Pleased to note that Yolanda sought input from other experts in the field. Inspired confidence."
- James Kanski"Outstanding. Mark Hudson was amazing. Helped me with everything related to not only selling my house but getting me moved - something he didn't have to do, but which gave me immense peace of mind. I don't like considering what it would have been like for me without Mark there to help."
- Daniel Horn"Mason, thank you for all of your help in finding us our ’forvever’ home! You really made the process quite seamless and always had smile! And thank you for your patience! "
- Taylor & Matthew"Lida fue excelente , me hizo todo el acompañamiento en la busqueda de mi casa , es una joven profesional , habla 3 idiomas y conoce mucho de bienes raices es jovial y dulce , tengo hoy mi nueva casa y vivimos muy felices aqui."
- Luz Marina Lopez"Lida was excellent in helping me find my new home in Bethesda, we have been looking for a long time to find the perfect home in the area. Lida's professionalism, hard work and dedication brought us to our perfect home. 100% will recommend her real estate services.
"
"We recently closed our home with Lida's help. Lida did a phenomenal job by guiding us and taking the lead, offering recommendations and support. She is always available and a very hard worker. She definitely made a lasting impression upon us."
- Google Review"Lida is the tops!! During my relocation to Maryland, she efficiently showed me a wide spectrum of properties. She was full of information, professional and showed great attention to the details of the process. I am a very satisfied customer who is loving the metropolitan DC life. If you want the job done right, call Lida!!"
- Zillow Review"Lida was excellent in finding the perfect home for us in Bethesda. Her professionalism, strategy and promptness got us our dream home in a multiple offer situation. I wholeheartedly recommend this AMAZING agent and am glad to have found a realtor for all my future real estate needs."
- Zillow Review"As first time home buyers, Lida was great at explaining the entire process to us. We were able to get an amazing deal on our dream home. Lida was extremely dedicated, even responding to us when she was traveling for her wedding. Great experience, will use her for the future if we ever move!"
- Brit Ali"Lida is an excellent professional. She has totally and positively changed my experience with realtors. I was impressed by her responsiveness and client-oriented skills. She has provided me all the support I needed going sometimes beyond the call of duty to help and advise. She follows up, provides great advice and always with a smile. Lida is very knowledgeable and has amazing interpersonal skills; always looking to provide a full package of services. She is available, friendly, helpful, and listens to her clients' needs and always trying her best to fulfill our expectations. "
- Zillow Review"Lida is the best real estate agent I have ever worked in the US after trying out a few. Excellent negotiation and people skills, unlike many other agents, she has the best interests of her clients at heart. My husband and I used her help to first rent a house, then to buy our own home a year later. Lida made herself available every single weekend until we found the house we wanted. She then went beyond the call of duty to help us find new lenders when the one we had started did not stick with us and then she negotiated an excellent deal with the seller for us. She even helped with extras like helping us find companies to work on our renovations as well as repeat visits to the same house so we could compare with others. Working with Lida was a very nice and rewarding experience. I now recommend her to friends and all have thanked me for introducing Lida to them. I highly recommend her to anyone in the process of buying or renting a place."
- Dorcas Manou Assoko"I met Martha almost 19 years ago when she helped me buy my first house. At that time, I had no experience at all on house purchasing. The way Martha guided and informed me on every single step of the process made the process so easy and, at the end, everything worked out perfectly. She also helped me sell my first house and buy my second house; once again it was such a smooth process -for me!- as she went ALL the extra miles possible to get me a house on the neighborhood I wanted. Sixteen years later, I decided to sell my house and contacted Martha again. Needless to say, once again she exceeded in her professionalism and was committed, in every sense of the word, to help me in the process of selling the house. Every single time, I trusted in Martha’s knowledge, expertise, approach, advice, and good judgment; and her commitment in supporting me with any obstacle during the process was admirable. I am very grateful for all her support - and her friendship- and, without any doubts, I highly recommend her if you are planning to buy or sell a property. "
- Emma Araujo"Kate was the perfect realtor for me as someone who was setting out to purchase their first home. Her knowledge of the Northern Virginia area and neighborhoods, along with her understanding of what types of properties might increase in value, helped me immensely as I worked to decide what home I wanted to buy. Once we did decide on a home, Kate proved to be blazing fast with submitting an offer in a crowded market, helping me beat several other would-be buyers. More than anything, Kate’s patience as we waited for the perfect place for well over a year demonstrated that she really wants what is best for her client. I cannot recommend Kate enough!"
- Don"Kate is a fantastic buyer's agent who helped us find our dream home in Capitol Hill, DC. As first time home buyers, her experience and insights were essential. Kate walked us through the entire process, helping us narrow down our priorities, providing tips to ensure a competitive offer, and responding quickly to our numerous emails and texts of questions. Kate is a true professional, always working with our best interests in mind. When the perfect home came on the market, Kate ensured we were the first ones in the door and had our offer submitted that day. Once our offer was accepted, Kate continued to be an asset, ensuring we had everything prepared for closing day. We feel so fortunate to have had Kate as our realtor and highly recommend her to prospective home buyers."
- Stephanie"I would recommend anyone looking to buy, sell or rent a home in the Northern Virginia area to reach out to Dinora Chacon. She is very professional, patient and knowledgeable of the market. She is very honest and have your best interest at heart. I truly enjoyed working with Dinora and she educated me through the entire process. I will recommend her to my friends and family. Thank you for everything and making it happen through COVID-19. That’s how special she is. "
- Page H."Barbara & Jud did everything that was necessary to sell the house. It went on the market at $899,000 and was sold several hours later at $925,000. Need I say more? They did a superior job in marketing the property from every aspect, and were great to deal with. No need to improve their services. I would recommend them to family friends and colleagues."
- Ed"Lauren is possibly my most favorite person in the world. She always had time for me, cared about what I cared about, and made my home-buying process easy and stress-free. Lauren. Is. The. Best. I've already recommended her to friends looking to buy in the next year! "
- Maggi LeDuc"Chris was honest, committed and quite passionate. We are a very focused and responsive couple and knew we would have to partner with someone who was the same. Chris had something different than others. She was openly passionate about her role as a Realtor - she was clear about what she brought to the table and how strongly she felt about her responsibility. She guided us on things we should do as priority to prepare for the listing and, personally, elevated rooms with the "Chris touch". We were clearly in this together. Partnering with a Realtor is one of your biggest decisions and most costly if they are not in the game with you. We were always very informed and aware of what was happening, and what had to happen next. We could not be happier. She brings to the table all she says she will --- even during a pandemic. We have already shared her contact info with many-and will continue to do so."
- DZ"Craley was great to work with, going above and beyond to complete the sale of our condo. She assisted with readying the unit for sale and coordinating with our contractor and cleaner, among other things. I also very much appreciated her promptness when responding to my many questions about the process. This transaction occurred in the context of the coronavirus pandemic--we are grateful to Craley for helping to get us through it in this difficult time."
- John"Kevin was very professional and helpful during the home buying process...I would recommend him to my family and friends."
- DeLisa Barrons"Sandra was very professional and went way above and beyond to provide the best service. She was very through in explaining the process and helped keep me on task to ensure we met the contract requirements and helping me get contractors and the condo association to get work done on my new place. I will definitely recommend her and your company to co-workers and friends."
- Carolyn A."We just closed on our house in Great Falls. YES, during this crazy time in our world, with the virus we actually did close. This is all due to Chris's determination and focus. We met in November 2019 as I was interviewing a few realtors for our listing. We are a very focused and responsive couple and we knew we would have to have someone to partner with that was the same. Quite a few of the realtors I interviewed had strong results records, but Chris had something different. She was openly passionate about her role as a realtor - she was clear what she brought to the table and how strongly she felt about her responsibility. We signed her in December and started to prepare the house. We shared a priority list of things to "fix/change/tweak" with Chris, she added her thoughts, we moved forward. We were going to be out of the house for showing - so it was a bit of an added burden on Chris to some extent to keep an eye on the house. The market was showing signs of waking up a bit earlier than our plan to go on it by end of March.... so we put things in high gear and were ON the market first week in March. Pool open, rooms elevated with the "Chris touch" as a less "lived in" but more "buyer ready" call out. 2 Open houses in one weekend and 4 offers came through that Monday. We had our call with Chris Monday night and an offer was selected - and Chris was off to the races to pull the pieces together. Soon after the virus hit the area and all housing-related businesses and offices were working from home. This did not deter Chris. She was on calls and meetings to make sure our closing moved forward. We were always very informed and aware of what was happening and what had to happen next. We closed this week. There is no minor effort involved to get a house on the market. Partnering with a realtor is one of your biggest decisions and most costly if they are not in the game with you. We were not only happy with the results of working with Chris but would HIGHLY recommend her (and have) to others. She brings to the table all she says she will - and not many can say they do that during a pandemic! Sign her up, you won't be disappointed."
- DZ"Lauren was great from start to finish. She took great care of me and my house. I felt comfortable with her caring for my home when I moved out quickly. Her communications were clear and she balanced her suggestions and my desires very well. Highly recommend!"
- Katie Detweiler"I’ve used Mcenearney before but have never been as impressed as I have been by Kay. She provides a level of service and expertise above and beyond that of other realtors with whom I’ve worked. Kay is the gold standard!"
- J. Torretti"Our real estate experience with McEnearney Associates and our agent Jerry Thatcher was truly exceptional and professional in every dimension. From beginning to end no detail escaped her. Always immediately available and responsive, she anticipated every requirement with multiple options to solve everything. Could not envision the whole process being any better. Most grateful. The best."
- Denise and Fred Franks"People don’t know what realtors do"
"People don’t know what realtors do … you do it all. Thank you for your guidance and support throughout this selling and buying experience."
- Plamena D. Old Town Seller & Buyer Client"Rebecca was with us every step of the way through our home buying journey and helped us navigate what ended up being a fairly complicated purchase with grace, knowledge, and tenacity. And now we are in the home of our dreams!"
- Anne C."Rebecca has been outstanding in every way, the ideal model of what a real estate agent should be."
- Edward W."Excellent assistance was provided at all times."
- Thomas"This was our first home-buying experience, and we couldn't ask for a better realtor than Bob Johnson. He was referred to us by a friend and immediately felt connected with our first conversation. Being an active duty Air Force officer, and knowing that Bob was a retired AF officer, I immediately knew that we could trust him to do the best job for us. From the minute we contacted him, he was always very quick to respond to all of our calls, texts, and emails. As we visited various properties, he was quick to pick up on our personal preferences and was honest in his opinion of certain properties and wouldn't steer us in the wrong direction. He would advise to go forward or not make offers on certain properties based on his expertise. We moved from California and didn't have the opportunity to view properties, and Bob would visit them for us, facetime and provide photos and videos of each place. We ended up putting an offer down on a For Sale by Owner property that Bob found for us without even seeing it in person because that's how much we trusted him. He helped us negotiate below full price in a time when escalations are common. He also developed a good relationship with the owner who ended up offering many free furniture items to us. We ratified the contract, completed the home inspection and everything else that comes with home-buying all from California and came to a home that was as we expected it, if not better. On top of all of Bob's great work, he offered a military discount and even helped pay for things in advance and we'd pay him back. And to even top that, he put all of our settlement documents into a PDF file for us (even highlighted tax-related items!) and placed it on a USB drive for us to keep to avoid carrying around a large stack of papers. To say the least, Bob was the perfect Realtor and we are so thankful for his hard, detailed work. We can even say that we've made a good friend in the process. I would highly recommend his services to all my friends and family as you won't be disappointed. Thanks so much again for everything Bob!"
- Stephen and Anne L."Donna, Thank you very much for all your help and patience. When my parents met you, they recommended that I work with you because of the way you conducted yourself and your apparent honesty. We al lfelt that you were the mother figure that my parents wanted to represent me. I would highly recommend you to anyone who may be interested in real estate in the area and if I ever decide to sell, I will come to you right away."
- Kathi"Throughout the brief journey of selling my home I kept telling Lisa Groover that she was “the best” and she lived up to it every step of the way! Before my home even went on the market Lisa offered great suggestions to highlight the best of the historic house and helped me sort through a ton of “stuff” while researching and preparing to go live with a broad and diverse marketing strategy. Lisa then surprised me daily with her creative and pointed marketing which elevating my home to where I/the buyer believed it should be - across so many publications and reaching a broad spectrum of potential buyers. Lisa also managed a way to accommodate my wish for a brief two months on the market so my holidays were not interrupted at home - it was full speed ahead with appointment and open house showings. It paid off in that someone that looked during that time came back after the beginning of the year, took another look and wrote an offer before putting it back on the market in the spring. Lisa made it smooth sailing from there. I followed her recommendations and trusted her judgment and it paid off. She didn’t stop there - helped me find an interim home until my new home is completed. She is indeed the best! "
- Linda Banton - Represented the Seller"Catherine is responsive and goes the extra mile. She negotiated two contracts for me while on vacation in California, so she sacrificed time with her family to provide professional services to me and additionally worked around the 3 hour time difference without a single complaint!"
- Nancy Devine"Level of service was top notch! Always provided prompt, professional, and knowledgeable information and discussion. Throughout the entire process I always felt as if I were her primary focus. Having never bought a house sight unseen, she truly represented my needs and concerns and ensured they were always met. My only hope is that I have the opportunity to work with Kristy again in the future...she is amazing at what she does!"
- Brandon W."Kay was wonderful - she gave a lot of wonderful advice that was appreciated, especially since we were new to all of this. In addition to her knowledge of the area/market, etc. she also has a very personal touch that made the experience extremely positive."
- T. Smith"Laurel was warm and compassionate while also very practical and smart about the best strategies for selling our home. She took on a lot of the grunt work in getting our house ready for the market as we had to move very quickly for a job transfer, and she always arrived with a smile. Her staging was beautiful, and she spent a great deal of time marketing our house with professional photos and videos. She was also very patient, even when we got frustrated with the process. Her instincts are rock solid, and when we listed our home in the window she thought would be most effective, we received an offer, above asking, within 24 hours. We cannot recommend Laurel enough; she is EVERYTHING you want in a realtor."
- Karen G, Seller"My husband and I are extremely grateful for Dinora's help during the home buying process. Dinora has always made herself available to show homes, answer questions, and provide advice, even on short notice. As first time home buyers we had a lot of questions and anxieties about the process and Dinora has been wonderful in keeping us calm and educated. With Dinora's help we were able to structure a competitive offer and clear to close within just two weeks! Not only has Dinora been helpful herself, but she has also provided recommendations for other third parties involved in the home buying process (mortgage broker, settlement company, home insurance provider, home inspector) that have all been helpful and cost effective. We highly recommend Dinora for anyone looking to purchase a home. She was supportive when we thought we may wait another year before purchasing a home and available same day when we found properties that peaked our interest."
- L. Kurin"Nora is outstanding. She is friendly, professional, proactive, thinks outside the box, and asked appropriate questions to help me narrow down condo possibilities. I also appreciated her knowledge and referrals regarding contractors and other important resources needed when buying a home."
- Erin"We loved working with Sandy!!! She responded to all of our calls and texts within minutes. Her enthusiasm was contagious! Her help for figuring out how to stage our home surely helped us to get over our asking price. We have recommended her to all of our neighbors! "
- Sharon Sullivan"Sandy was like a ninja when dealing with the other realtor, who kept lobbing unreasonable demands for fixes to imaginary deficiencies from the home inspection. Buyer started out asking for $4k in conditions. Had to spend $600 for structural engineer to convince buyer that there were no structural defects and another $200 to fix everything else, leading to $0 conditions at closing. Sandy provided sound advice on how to proceed, and I did the rest."
- Brigid F. Ruland"Sandy was outstanding. She handled everything prior to closing on the sale of my home because I had already moved from Virginia to Georgia. When I say everything, I mean everything - finding, negotiating with, and supervising substantial contractors' work in the crawlspace and a bathroom."
- Anne Kamosso"Sandy provided excellent service as both our buying and listing agent. She was very insightful about current market conditions in our neighborhood where we had a home to sell. She prepared us well for the process of listing, pricing, and showing our home. Our home went under contract with a strong offer the FIRST day on the market. We believe this was largely due to Sandy's experience and knowledge of the real estate market in the metro region. Sandy also acted as our buying agent and worked with us to find a dream home for the right price. We couldn't be happier and strongly recommend Sandy McMaster!"
- Dereth Bush"Kristen's efforts and results on our behalf throughout an extraordinarily difficult period commencing several months prior to closing, even helping with move in, were well beyond anything we expected."
- Scott Dougherty"When we were looking to sell our condo and buy a larger home within Old Town Village, Lisa was the first person who came to mind. She is extremely knowledgeable about the area and her sunny personality makes her a pleasure to work with. Finding a house that fit our family (complete with toddler, dog, and cat) and let us stay in our much loved neighborhood was no small task! But Lisa was extremely patient and was able to help us find a home that we love. On the sell side, she offered valuable expert advice as we prepped our condo for sale and navigated marketing and showing our home. With only a single week to prep our home for sale before the holidays, we appreciated her flexibility and commitment to getting it ready. In the end we accepted a full price offer after just one weekend on the market! Buying and selling a home can be an extremely stressful experience, but with Lisa it was a smooth and positive process. We cannot recommend her enough!"
- Brianna and Tom Boudreau"Martha Floyd is a rock star! My wife bought her/our house with Martha almost 20 years ago, and Martha kept in contact, inviting us to client events and sending holiday cards for years afterward. We were recently transferred and there was no doubt who we would get to help us with the sale of our home, and Martha did not disappoint! Timely communication, outstanding recommendations of tradesmen, expertly guiding us through the preparation and process, going above and beyond to make things easy on us again and again. Because of Martha's guidance and help, we sold the house over the first weekend it was on the market for more than the house was appraised for! We cannot recommend Martha enough! We cannot recommend Martha enough!"
- Scott Allen"From initial Consultations to final details of settlement Renneye goes "above and beyond" in educating her clients, listening and advising, offering her perspectives and suggestions, and paying attention to every detail to ensure a satisfactory sale or purchase. In addition, no one knows the Rotonda as well as she does, she has a mental map and knows the history of every single unit. That makes her a superb asset for both sellers and buyers. Her knowledge and experience get clients into the exactly right unit or the for the exactly right price. I have tremendous respect for her business savvy and real estate wisdom and her work ethic. was impressed with Renneye and then became more so over the years I have known her."
- Valerie Sue Neal"Just to let you know how pleased my sister Ellen and I am with the way Bob Adamson handled the sale of the Randolph Street property. Ellen and I are the executors of Ann Wagner's estate. Ann died in October, 2019, and Ellen and I contracted with Bob to sell her house. I live in Denver, Colorado and anticipated the myriad of problems that could arise due to my out-of-state location. From day one, Bob did everything in his power to make sure the sale went smoothly including providing suggestions as to how to remove trash from the house, arranging for a company to remove and sell Ann's personal property, and interceding with the Maryland title company that did the closing, when problems arose due to the title company's lack of knowledge of Virginia closing requirements. Bob was hands on during the entire sales process and always available to assist with any questions or issues that arose. The property was listed at $525,000 and sold for $561,000. We couldn't be more pleased. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a real estate agent. Thanks Bob."
- D. Wagner & E. Laubach"If for the rest of my life all my real estate transactions are handled by Terry Bozzo, I will consider myself blessed by the real estate gods. Terry executed the transaction and all its details expertly. There were many moving pieces with this transaction given we reside jout-of-state. Terry handled the transaction like the ultimate professional - coordinated with multiple vendors, our tenants, and met all our expectations."
- Giin Levy"Thanks for all your hard work. I could not have been able to do this seamlessly without you. When we get back in the area we will definitely reach out to you for assistance in finding a home."
- Luzette S."All went perfect with the house sale. Thanks again, you are such a stellar seller!"
- Alex O."Thanks! It was great working with you and feel free to use us as a reference. "

- Sean L."Terry has such a long history in the area and is super knowledgeable about schools, neighborhoods, and other local resources. She knows the market and works really hard to find the perfect home for her clients."
- Tamara W."Terry was fantastic — super knowledgeable with the area, very friendly and patient, and committed to helping us find the right home. We really appreciated her dedication and professionalism."
- Jason & Catherine A."We recently bought a home with Bob and could not have been happier with our choice of realtors.
When we started looking for a home in the Northern Virginia area we reached out to trusted friends and asked if they could recommend a realtor. They gave us Bob’s name. We called Bob later that day and instantly knew he was the right choice for us. Within a day he had arranged a viewing of a property – and we settled on a home within a month.
Bob is the quintessential professional. He takes his job very seriously and understands the importance of looking after his clients. Throughout the process, we never felt like Bob was trying to sell us anything. He truly was a partner in our search.
Bob is incredibly detailed oriented, knowledgeable and amazingly responsive. Because of Bob’s expertise, he took care of matters that were far above and beyond what we ever would have expected – without ever asking; he reviewed and notated the homeowner’s association documents, he hand-delivered our ratified settlement statement to the HOA for us, provided mechanical expertise on the systems of the home, and provided a single PDF of the important purchase documents – encrypted for security.
Bob did all this for us and even paid his brokerage's transaction fee for us.
We can’t say enough about Bob. We look forward to our next transaction with him."
- Jeff and Jacque F."During the entire process Joan and her associate Collin Banks were readily available with answers to our home buying process. It’s rare to find such accommodating service in a professional field. I will be recommending Joan and/or Collin Banks In the future for home buying."
- Lauren Bergamine"Ann was truly heaven sent! From day one she has been very professional and extremely helpful! She went above & beyond our expectations! We’ve bought the home and she’s still being of help to us!"
- Rhoda Boateng-Botwe (Buyer - MD)"Joan is a real estate agent that has you’re best interest in mind. With our family moving to Virginia very quickly, Joan helped our family get the best deal on an outstanding house in a great area. During the entire process she and her associate Collin Banks were readily available with answers to our home buying process. It’s rare to find such accommodating service in a professional field. I will be recommending Joan and/or Collin Banks In the future for home buying."

- Emran J."Exceptional—high level of communications throughout, including over holidays. Jamie helped keep us calm, on track and smarter while navigating a difficult process."
- Alexandra Heckler"Dinora has helped my husband and I rent two properties over the last several years. Not only is Dinora a lovely person who we enjoyed getting to know, she is organized, efficient and extremely knowledgeable. She knew what locations we should focus on based on our needs, and helped us find several options within our price range. We did two days of touring properties, and Dinora was patient and gave her helpful opinion on what sort of things we should be using as determining factors. She handled the application and negotiation process expertly and we were able to get every single thing we wanted in our new place and in our lease. I plan on using Dinora's services when we are ready to buy a house in the next couple of years!"
- Julia Belton"Finding a new home can be very stressful, Dinora not only made my search very un stressful but she responded to every text every questions.She was very honest , detailed ,and knowledgeable of the rental market .
My partner and I was 100% pleased with her services and plan on purchasing in the near future and will definitely reach out to Dinora Chacon ."
- Sharlet Daly"If one word was used to describe Dinora Chacon it would be Outstanding. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable. She has tremendous energy and stays on task until objectives are met and problems solved. Her ability to resolve issues in a timely manner was truly impressive. Among her many noteworthy attributes is her excellent communication skills. She continually kept us informed and updated as the process developed. Most importantly, I always felt she had our best interest at heart and worked tirelessly to assist us in every way possible. The outstanding end result is proof Dinora Chacon is the best at what she does."
- Buyer"We are very thankful that you were able to help us buy our house. We are very happy with your services. You were very patient and were always looking for our satisfaction so we would be happy with our purchase.
We will definitely recommend you to friends and family!
Blessings!"
- Fredy and Maria"I had never met Dinora nor had references about her. She found me thru a lead in an inquiry I made about a condo (it was past 10 pm). She asked the right questions and made herself available to show me the next morning the property I was interested in.
I am impressed by Dinora's efficiency and pleasant personality. She works hard for her client's satisfaction and gets the ball rolling with the everyone involved in the transaction. Always mindful of key dates and deadlines.
She communicates frequently, even on weekends if necessary and always open to go the extra mile.
I highly recommend her. She is a real pro!!!"
- A. Garcia"I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed working with Dinora. She is great. She is a delightful person, a master of the process, and makes excellent recommendations. She loves her job and her clients are the beneficiaries of that. She is very attentive, and goes out of her way to make sure you will be happy with the home you decide to purchase. Her flexibility is amazing; she makes the process very easy for the client. She is very knowledgeable and honest about the home-buying process, and you will learn a great deal from working with her. Whether you are buying your first home or your fifth, you can't go wrong with Dinora. You will have a blast working with her and the only drawback is, you will miss her once you complete your purchase. "
- Buyer"From the start, Dinora was great to work with and very supportive. She and her team went over the entire home buying process and always answered my questions. Every outing, I was greeted with her smile and her eagerness to find the home that would make me happy in the end. Working with her was a pleasure.
Dinora was very conscientious of my requirements, adjusting home searches and showing patience as my goals evolved over the last two months. Additionally, she was careful to stay on time and provide feedback to the sellers for each home we visited, which really impressed me. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone searching for their new place."
- Michel Maroney"Dinora originally wasn't supposed to be our realtor, she was filling in for the realtor we were supposed to have, as our original realtor went on vacation.
We toured our first day with Dinora and found her incredibly helpful! She listened to everything that we needed in regards to price, location and quality of the home. She was flexible and able to meet with us on a short time frame. Finding the home we wanted couldn't have been any easier and it was all due to how great and accommodating Dinora was.
I would HIGHLY recommend using Dinora with helping you find a home."
- Renter"Dinora is the absolute best! She made buying my first home such an memorable experience and supported every decision I made. She was able to negotiate the one expensive item that was preventing me from buying this amazing home and thanks to her I'm happily living there now.
I couldn't thank her enough for her flexibility on fitting this home into our itinerary at my last minute request, as it allowed me to place my offer as quickly as I did. She continuously offered her assistance on anything I needed, responded quickly, she was my communication glue to get things going, and was so focused on my needs as a buyer that I felt at ease the whole time.
Dinora is so genuine and I wish this process hadn't gone so fast because she is missed. Impressed by her client focus and grateful to have had her help me through this process. I'll definitely seek her help on buying a future home. If you want an amazing home buying experience, she is the one!
Thank you so much Dinora!"
- Stephanie Sanchez"Dinora is a true professional who cares about her clients. She worked hard to sell my home, from initial meeting, to staging, to open houses, to closing she was there every step of the way. She exceeded my expectations and sold my home in record time. She is my realtor for life."
- Rob Scott"I'm a first-time buyer, and Dinora was fantastic throughout the process.
This has been a difficult market, with low inventory (at least with what I was looking for) and properties receiving offers within a day or two. Dinora was very patient through the process, and did not push me to make any decisions I was even slightly uncomfortable with. She was responsive to view properties, and flexible to work around my schedule. On a few occasions, she even coordinated with her team to show me properties before they were actually listed, allowing me additional time to make a decision.
Dinora also provided me with valuable advice through the process. In one case, I had made an offer on a house, but the seller disclosed a significant flaw that they were unwilling to fix. I was very concerned, but Dinora explained the situation, my options, and her recommendation - which confirmed my feelings that I should walk away. Looking back, I am so grateful that I made that decision. Dinora made many other recommendations through the process and built up a great level of trust. I always felt confident that she was working for me, not for herself or her company.
As a first-time buyer, I'm completely satisfied with the home I purchased. Some of that is due to the house itself, but a lot of it comes from my confidence in the buying process, thanks to Dinora's hard work."
- James Quinn"Dinora Chacon helped our family find our perfect home. Her professional and friendly nature made the process stress free! Her commitment to her work shines through with her positive attitude. I would recommend her to any on looking for real estate!"
- Jessica M."Dinora not only helped me find the perfect home in Virginia, but she also helped me find the perfect home while I was still living in Massachusetts!! (I am originally from the Northern VA area, and left VA in 2010 to go live and work in Boston. After 6 years of life in Boston, I realized it was a good time to buy and that I wanted to return to VA to be closer to my family.) We began the house search online in mid-April, and I would fly to VA about every 4-5 weeks to see homes in person with Dinora. By August, we had found the perfect place and I settled on the home in September. I moved in this past weekend, and couldn't be happier!! Dinora is very efficient and detail-oriented. She is always prompt, and never left me waiting, which I love! She really respects your time and is very communicative. Dinora is a very genuine person and has a heart for people! You can tell that she loves what she does. I would definitely recommend using her! I know that I have personally recommended her to all of my family and friends."
- Rachel Bacon"Dinora is an AMAZING Real Estate Agent. She has incredible positive energy, tireless work ethic, great listener, patient-really looks out for what her customer needs, collaborative with all parties, aggressive yet balanced, always does the right thing-highly ethical, one of the best communicators in business, smart negotiating skills, wise and informative-she educated us on multiple facets/nuances of our transactions.
Having bought and sold 3 prior homes-I have NEVER experienced such an incredibly positive experience like this.
Dinora was awesome!"
- Buyer & Seller"Dinora Chacon was an excellent Real Estate Agent. Being a first-time home buyer, her knowledge and expertise were very valuable to me. She was very professional, responsive, and answer all the questions that I had. She made the home-buying process seem quite simple. I am very satisfied with my new home, and I would strongly recommend her if you are looking to buy a home. "
- P. Delgado"Awesome, just awesome. Very helpful very caring. Recommend her anytime. She was there for me and my family 100 percent all the way to the end. Any questions I had she was able to answer them to the best of her ability if she didn't know she did her best to find out every thing she could. Just awesome. Thank you so much."
- Buyer"My experience with Dinora was top notch! I am a first time homebuyer and Dinora guided me through the process from start to finish. She was always available, day or night, to answer my questions or address any concerns I had. She is incredibly knowledgeable about buying/selling homes and was with me every step of the way. I never felt pressured and she allowed me to move at my own pace. I cannot recommend Dinora's services highly enough. She really cares about finding the perfect home for you! I did not feel like just another client, I felt like I had a partner with my best interest at heart. If you're looking for a honest, knowledgeable and compassionate realtor who will work hard for you, Dinora is far and away one of the best in the business!"
- Katie Bynaker"Dinora is fantastic and is really everything we were looking for in a realtor! She is so easy to work with, was patient and understanding with all of our requests and concerns, and she's confident and aggressive (in the best way possible). We went on vacation overseas shortly after our condo went under contract and Dinora handled everything for us while we were away - we seriously did not have to worry about a thing! We are so thankful to have had such a true professional on our side who made our first home selling experience above and beyond what we could have ever imagined."
- Seller"Dinora Chacon was a great realtor for us - she certainly was very concerned about getting a house that was comfortable for us, without major repairs, a safe neighborhood, travelling distance to jobs etc., than just pushing a sale for herself. She was always very aware of our needs and was very willing to look at many properties before our final decision was made. She was available for contact any time and responded back immediately. Last but not least, she was so kind and thoughtful to send treats and house warming gifts to the entire family !!
If we at anytime do a purchase again we will always go back to her. We recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone who is in the market for selling and/or purchasing."
- Buyer"We had a great experience with Dinora. Although we usually had a tight schedule, she was always available on our time. She had a quick answer to all our questions and thanks to her the process of buying our house was quick and easy."
- Judy"If you need a caring, knowledgeable, trustworthy real estate agent, Dinora is the one. She will guide you through every step and answer any questions you may have. She will treat you like family and I find that most of us would appreciate that when making such a big life change whether buying or selling a house. "
- Buyer"It was a pleasure working with Dinora Chacon, she is extremely professional, caring and knowledgeable. I am a first time home buyer and she made the process go very smooth. She listened to what I wanted and helped me find a perfect home. DInora is very responsive, she was always there to answer my questions and concerns and guide me through the whole process of purchasing my home. I am grateful that I found Dinora Chacon, I would highly recommend her to anyone I know."
- Karen Cardoza"From the day we met, Dinora demonstrated to be an amicable person. Not only is she patient she is also knowledgeable. These two key points are main reasons as to why we did end up choosing her as our agent. From the start we knew that it would be awhile until we'd able to make a decision on a house, and through it all Dinora was patient as well as attentive with our requests for our future home. She worked with us for OVER a year and never had a change in attitude, instead each meeting became a setting for more knowledge to be shared as well as her professional advice and/or opinions with us. I appreciated her patience with my family and I. I can truly say that without even second guessing it I would recommend Dinora to any family or friend. Looking for houses is extremely stressful so having an agent who takes the time to get to know you personally, as well as your family members, your likes and dislikes Is key to a successful client based relationship. I appreciated her and all the details she did from the day we started to the day we signed."
- Jasmine Pineda"It was a pleasure working with Dinora throughout the process. She completely understood our housing needs and guided us every step of they way making us feel more confident about our decision. She is very professional and flexible meeting all of our needs. I'd highly recommend Dinora as realtor to any of my friends and family. I'll look to work with Dinora for any future real estate needs."
- Carlos Blanco"Dinora was masterful in executing the sale of our home. She is extremely knowledgeable, very flexible, trustworthy and caring. She held a single open house, resulting in three offers. Our home sold immediately and she negotiated a very fair deal. We recommend her very highly and intend to use her very soon in the sale of another property."
- Seller"Dinora is the absolute BEST! Super professional, hardworking, knowledgeable, honest, and understood all of my wants and needs.
She is always friendly and was super helpful throughout the entire selling process.
She sold our home within 24 hours of being on the market.
She answered all of our questions and responded to all of our concerns.
We will use her for all our home buying and selling in the future."
- Seller"Our experience with Dinora Chacon as our Real Estate Agent was very positive. She developed a very good plan of action to put our house in the market, with a positive selling attitude. Her knowledge about the ongoing market was so decisive to help us to modify our selling strategy and provide a lower value, but with the expected high returns at the end. We feel her credentials are so highly valuable and will use her expertise to buy our own home. We highly recommend her professional attitude and selling/buying skills in the Real Estate business. Thanks! "
- Seller"Mrs. Chacon is a professional and honest Real Estate Agent. She follows through her promises and makes tremendous efforts to statisfy her clients.

- Buyer"Wow!
When it came to buying a new home, the thought of it could be very stressful, after renting for almost two decades and never owning property the whole process seemed extremely foreign and kind of scary. Dinora made all that easy! The responsiveness and dedicated commitment to helping us find a new home really shined bright.
She guided us through the ENTIRE process from start to finish! She made the whole process very welcoming and for us going through this for the first time it was just what we needed!
Dinora met and exceeded my expectations of a realtor and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their homes! "

- Buyer"Dinora has all the P qualities; she is professional, personable, punctual, polite, persistent and most importantly patient. We had a great experince working with her; especially as a first time home buyer we had a lot of questions and she was always ready to help and advice us. She was flexible and even at times when she was away on a oversea trip she took time out to address our questions. I would highly recommend her to someone who is looking to purchase a home, because I feel that she would be by your side through out it all, and be a great source of support during the stressful time of a home purchase. We simply loved working with her."
- Buyer"Dinora is an amazing realtor. She was by my side from beginning to end during the process of selling a home. She gave me initial information on recent sales so that I could set the price I was comfortable with and updated me on options once an offer was made. She worked with the tenants on move out dates and final inspections. Highly recommend!"

- J. Jefferson"We were so lucky with my husband to come across such a wonderful and professional realtor as Dinora Chacon. From the first minute we met her until the moment she handle us the keys from our new apartment it was just a great experience. She is very personable, punctual, honest and has a vast knowledge of all the aspects of the business. Dinora is super dedicated to her profession and has great communication skills. I absolutely loved her approach on communicating important matters through sending the video address on our iPhones. This way my husband and me would receive the message directly from Dinora, which saved a lot of time in back and forth communication. As we were targeting to wrap up all the paperwork in 3 weeks, Dinora was straightforward and explained us the key point for this process to go smoothly and successful, which it did. The closing was quick and was handled in less than 45 minutes. After closing, Dinora completely surprised us with the custom-made delicious cookies and basket of goodies for our new home. It was such a sweet touch. We will highly recommend Dinora if you are looking to buy a house or selling one."
- Julia Terentenko"My experience with Dinora was the best I've ever had with a realtor. I admire her personality, her professionalism and how she helped carry all the processes involved.

Dinora is always willing to answer any questions that arise and does so immediately. Any person who works with her will achieve complete satisfaction. She is a professional whom I fully recommend."
- Angel Zeballos"If you need to buy or sell a house, CALL STEVE. I used to be an agent myself, and I worked with Steve. I know and worked with many realtors, and I know something about what it takes to be a good realtor. When I decided to list a house that belonged jointly to me and my three children, there was no question in my mind that I would ask Steve to list my house. He did such a fantastic job on the transaction, that I asked him to sell a condo for me not more than a few months later. Again, he did an amazing job. Steve is just the BEST. He has experience and knowledge to shepherd his clients through every possible land mine that can derail a transaction. He will work hard for you and he is FULL service. I cannot recommend him highly enough."
- Susan W."Nada provided an extraordinarily level of service. We can't thank her enough! She was scheduled to be away during new year's however she changed her schedule so that there was not a delay on our lease."
- Canan Ozturk Abayhan"Margot went above and beyond anything I could have ever hoped for during my purchase. I was extremely busy at work during my purchase and she assisted with items that were in no way her responsibility which helped me immensely! She met me in Loudoun County several times, last minute to view properties without hesitation even though it was an hour away for her.
There are not enough words to express my gratitude for Margot helping me with my purchase. Above and beyond expectations does not even come close to what I received! In addition to the incredible level of attention I received during prior to close, shortly after my purchase I had a furnace failure and Margot helped me fight with the home warranty company after they tried to deny the claim. So far beyond an agent's responsibility after the sale closed. She has already started in helping me prepare to sell a house also."
- Dawn P."Susan is beyond phenomenal!"
"Susan is beyond phenomenal! She was readily available to address any of my questions and helped me with staging my condo. Susan also worked late on the night before Thanksgiving to work on an offer we received!"

- JC"I have worked with several good realtors over the years both buying and selling, but I have to say Charlene has been the best to work with. Not only is she thoroughly aware of the current market and style trends, but she is very proactive in what needs to be done to close a sale quickly and efficiently. She searches out the best solutions for any problems that arise and has a network of service providers to get things done cost effectively and promptly. She has endless energy and is a great communicator. I could not recommend her more!"
- Janet, seller"When we decided to sell our house, we interviewed a number of realtors to find the right fit for us. While there were those with whom we had a prior personal friendship and those who bragged they employed the latest and greatest technology to sell our house, as well as those who claimed to have an extensive list of ready buyers and promised to sell your house for the asking price our they would buy it themselves, we chose to go with a highly recommended agent who had helped our dearest friends and neighbors buy and sell multiple homes in Old Town over the years. Each of the other agents seemed more interested in listing our home than in selling it.
We wanted to deal with a single person; we valued honesty and experience in our neighborhood; and, we sought someone with unlimited energy and availability. Charlene has been a broker for 45 years and has focused her efforts on properties in Old Town Alexandria and Northern Virginia since 1980. She had the experience and professional contacts in the area to recommend the most cost-effective home warranty, touch-up and inspection companies, and professional photographers, all of whom turned out to be the right choice for us. She personally staged and de-staged our home for sale, had a website created that accurately portrayed our property, and personally hosted multiple open houses (after each of which she gave us a complete summary of the potential buyers who had expressed interest that day). Charlene continuously updated us on comparable homes in our neighborhood that were on the market and advised us on any changes or price adjustments we should make - all of which we took. We received multiple offers on our home and sought and took her advice throughout the negotiation phase of the process. When we signed the closing documents, along with the closing attorney, Charlene walked us through the documents and made sure to explain items that were particularly important to us.
More than a month after closing, Charlene has continued to follow up with us, ensuring that our mail is being forwarded. Looking back on every action and every decision, we can happily say that there is absolutely nothing that we would have done differently. Just like our neighbors, who first provided us with her name, we have built a lasting friendship with Charlene."
- David & Heidi, sellers"Charlene has not had a single misstep in 19 years. I was fortunate to work with her! I am so grateful I could benefit from her deep knowledge of Alexandria and the Port Royal's insides, outsides, workings, and oddities."
- Robin, buyer & seller"I was referred to Marcia Bowlds from a work associate and Marcia gave my father and I 5 star service. I would recommend Marcia Bowlds to my colleagues and friends and have hired her again! "

- Kristen B."Katie was the person that helped us find the perfect home in Oakton while living abroad. She was stunning.
She worked around our schedule, our time difference and went the extra step to help us out. She visited potential homes several times, she was present at home inspections while we couldn’t, she pointed out potential problems, was very punctual and always available for a phone call or WhatsApp. She noticed that a house we had made an offer on had a serious issue and, setting aside her personal gain, she helped us buy our perfect match.
We have been extremely lucky to have found her and very grateful for all the help."
- Lucia Crippa"Lauren Bishop at McEnearney is top drawer. Smart. Hard working, honest. Have worked with her repeatedly."

He bent over backwards to make my experience a great one. Mike Makris was amazing to work with. I would recommend Mike to anyone I know looking for a home.""
- D. Reynolds"This was a very difficult property to sell because it was not the norm. It was a condo located within a retirement community that had fees attached to it making it extremely challenging for my agent who so good. I can only say great things about her. When I sell my home, she will be the one!"

- Jenna and Ryan Lloyd"Melissa is by far AMAZING. Derek and I began our home search (as first-time home buyers) without a realtor and stumbled across Melissa at an open house. We knew from our first interaction that SHE was the realtor for us. Unlike other real estate agents that we met, Melissa made sure we understood everything from simple real estate terminology to the intricate details that most people do not pay attention to. She never made us feel inferior or incapable of handling the home buying process. Her communication was incomparable – always seemed available – which to us is super important as a first-time home buyer! Although we were not sure exactly what we wanted OR WHEN we wanted our new home, she made sure she kept in touch and checked in as much as possible while sending over suggestions. Once the actual home buying process began, she took things day by day, making everything simple and easy. Every person she recommended (lender, home inspector, title company, etc.) were beyond personable and ensured that we were comfortable with every commitment that needed to take place. We never once second guessed any decision that was made. Now that we have completed the process and have our new home, we are beyond grateful for Melissa, her knowledge and experience – she got us exactly what we wanted!"
"Melissa is a high-touch agent – as my buyer agent she tuned into my precise needs and aspirations and showed me the home I ended up purchasing within the first day of working with me (with only two other homes visited!). She brings a wealth of knowledge and relationships in the Northern Virginia marketplace –lender, inspector, title company, contractors, etc. She remained in constant contact with me to help meet contract and lender contingencies in a timely manner, offering fair/balanced negotiating guidance and even when I had to change lenders, she worked to smooth the extension with the sellers. She remained with me right through to closing at the settlement table and beyond to assuage any doubts and to resolve concerns. I cannot recommend her highly enough—she is a class act and a true professional."
"I’m a recent transplant to the Alexandria area working in Arlington. I travel often overseas for work that left me with awkward hours and not much time to really invest in finding a place. After showing me four properties, Melissa was locked in on what I needed. Then the timing of a perfect place with a perfect price popped up on a Sunday morning… a perfect place, perfect price… in Old Town Alexandria too! Melissa went straight to work with my offer on a short sale condo. Again, it was complicated and took some time, but at the end of it, with Melissa’s help, I got my dream Old Town Alexandria condo. Loving it! Oh, and take her seriously on Crate & Barrel suggestions! Thanks Melissa!"
"Melissa did a great job of explaining the home buying process from both a financial and real estate perspective. This was especially important to me as a first-time home buyer. She was always quick to respond and kept me on track throughout the process. Finally, what stood out to me most was her excellent insights into the area and layout. She offered insights into resale value, design potential, and key information about the area."
- Ej Thornton– Bought a home in Clarendon, Arlington, VA"Working with Melissa exceeded any of my expectations and she was a shining star in our entire buying process. As first-time home buyer, I was not familiar with terminology or the best process people to involve. She was knowledgeable, approachable, personable, endlessly patient and incredibly generous with her time (including morning, evenings, and weekends over the course of several months). Buying a home in this market is challenging. Working with Melissa made it as painless and straightforward as possible. I highly recommend her!"
- Bought a home in Leesburg, VA"Melissa Rosario helped my husband and I find our forever home which overlooks a lake! Working with Melissa was a delight and an education. She is thoughtful, insightful, hard-working, and was determined to help us find the right fit for our needs. One of her greatest strengths is that she really listens. She really listened to our likes, dislikes, hope and fears. Melissa addressed each question or concern by educating us about the market and the process. She would bring us back down to earth when necessary and, as importantly, she raised our sights when we thought we might have to settle for less or move farther out in order to attain our dream home. Anther plus is that Melissa keeps abreast of the latest trends regarding items you may need after you move into the home: window treatments, screens, etc., as well as referrals for vendors. This block isn’t big enough! I could go on. My husband and I feel blessed. We are extremely happy with our new home. I don’t anticipate it, but if we ever do move again, we’re calling Melissa!”"
- Cathy Rose– Bought a home in Franconia, Virginia"Very helpful and committed while assisting us in locating our home.

Melissa remained confident and positive throughout the process. Highly recommend!"
- Swillslsu – Bought a home in National Landing"Melissa is a thoughtful, diligent, and committed real estate agent who has a real gift for understanding client needs. I met Melissa about a year ago while looking for a rental property when we first moved to the area. Based on our great experience working with her on the rental search, it was an easy decision to ask for her assistance in finding and purchasing a home a few months later. Melissa took time to understand our needs and preferences at the beginning of our home search and was extremely patient throughout the process as we explored options and made adjustment to our search. Ultimately, we found a house that not only met our needs, but also felt like home. We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with a real estate agent. Melissa is a consummate professional and a genuinely nice, thoughtful, and kind person who made all the differences in our home buying experience. I highly recommend her!"
- Bought a home in Glen Alden, Fairfax, VA"Melissa is an incredibly devoted real estate agent. She took what could have been a grueling time- consuming search and made it fun and worry-free. She refuses to let you settle. She fought hard for us in many negotiations and has years of experience with valuable contacts. As first-time home buyers, we had no idea what we were doing when we first started buy Melissa patiently guided us through the process. After a few weeks living in our new home, we know we couldn’t have found someone that was a better fit for the job than Melissa."

From answering each and every question we had to taking the time to actually teach us about the process, we felt very supported by her. Nora was constantly in contact with us, and had us prepared every step of the way. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home."
- Clara""We were relocating to Virginia although we knew the general area there was many things we didn’t know. Then came Kaaren! She gave us 200% and made us feel like her only client. She listen to everything we wanted and found us the perfect home. She made sure everything was done properly. It was a smooth, pleasant experience. We are extremely happy! We couldn’t have done it without Kaaren! We could never thank her enough but thanks Kaaren!""

- Katie"With the Thanksgiving weekend behind me I have been reflecting on things I am thankful for with my new home on the top of my list.
Frank and I were looking to buy a home and narrowed our search to Old Town. We went to an open house at 738 Fords Landing Way and met Kristen. She was warm and engaging despite folks mulling all around. I e-mailed her the very next day and asked her to help us find a home, which took all of three weeks. We bought the first house we saw – 738 Fords Landing Way.
The process was so easy despite the lack of inventory last summer. Kristen clearly knows the neighborhood and could not have been more helpful in showing alternative properties and providing the pluses and minus of various locations. It didn’t matter as I knew I was going to buy 738 Fords Landing Way. The negotiations with the owners took five minutes and it was done. That’s when Kristen was truly invaluable. She helped me with finding a contractor for some modest renovations and arranged for all third party tours. Even after closing Kristen continues to help us with resources.
The home buying experience was such a pleasure from the initial search to the closing and move. I feel incredibly lucky and it all started with the right person to assist us.
McEnearney is the best in Old Town due to professionals like Kristen."
- Lynda and Frank G."I want to thank Joan so very much for helping me buy my first home! I truly believe I could not have done it without Joan's guidance and expertise. Joan made the whole process so much less stressful than I had always heard the home buying process was. I am over the moon about my new place and know it will be the perfect home! I could not have made it happen without Joan!"
- Laura H., Arlington"Thank you so much for your expertise, Susan: from start to finish, we were in such excellent hands!"
- MN & DS, Arlington VA"For years Jason helped me with my Capitol Hill rental property. Being that I lived out of town, he was my one-stop shop for transitioning the old tenants out and the new tenants in, and everything in between. When it came time to sell the condo, Jason provided me with a great deal of market insight, resources and sweat to ultimately get it sold."
- Jeff H. - Seller"Mary Ellen provides concierge-level service. Her advice on timing, pricing and staging is right–on. She brought in multiple offers in just two weeks and we closed 45 days after entering the market. We are very pleased with the results she delivered."
- Jeff & Nancy B., Sellers"Mary Ellen was referred to us through a mutual friend when we were preparing to move to Northern Virginia. She practically became an extension of our family; spending hours online talking us through virtual tours, previewing homes and ultimately negotiating a contract and home inspection for us. She even helped connect us with contractors for a small renovation and with a moving company to get us into our new home. She is terrific and a pleasure to work with."
- Sandy and Mike F., Buyers"Mary Ellen was our buyer agent for our new house in Old Town and then listed our Arlington house to sell. She was with us every step of the way – negotiating the best terms for us on our new home, helping us get our Arlington house ready for going on the market, advising us on pricing and market conditions and then finally bringing in multiple offers - within 30 days. We are very happy we decided to work with her and strongly recommend her to our friends."
- Jill B. and Mike H., Buyers and Sellers"Mary Ellen helped our family make a cross-country move at a busy time in our lives. I was making a job switch and didn’t have much time to search for the new family home. Mary Ellen made herself available late at night and on weekends for west coast calls and she previewed dozens of houses while keeping us in the loop with FaceTime. Mary Ellen listened carefully and figured out what was important and she made the process seamless and easy for us."
- Rich V. and Family, Buyers"Mary Ellen worked really hard to find the perfect house for our needs in a neighborhood that offered us good schools and reasonable commutes. I couldn’t be happier with her customer service and her results. I’ve already referred her to colleagues who are moving to the area. I know that my friends and colleagues will be in good hands with Mary Ellen as their agent."
- Joel W. and Family, Buyer"We hired Mary Ellen to sell our house because she took exquisite care of a neighbor’s property when she sold it, and we felt she would take care of us the same way. She advised and helped us find contractors to get our house ready for the market. Our house sold in less than 30 days because we took her advice. She also helped coordinate our move to a different state and she connected us to resources in our location. She helped us take care of things on our timeline. If you want a good realtor, adviser and advocate, you need to hire Mary Ellen."
- Sara and Rich P., Sellers"Mary Ellen helped me buy my first home. She made a complicated and scary process easier because she had all the answers to all of my questions. She knew what to we needed to do to win the contract and she negotiated well for me. I’m really happy I worked with Mary Ellen and I love my new condo."
- Kayla F."I cannot emphasize enough how incredible Wendy was with the whole process. When she took the time to answer my preliminary questions last year before I was even a client, I knew that if I chose to buy I would have to go with Wendy. Even going in with high expectations, I was pleasantly surprised at how easy and painless Wendy made the homebuying process. She guided me through every step and answered all sorts of questions that I didn’t even know to ask. She didn’t miss a single step and was an absolute pleasure to work with."
- David P."Ann and Shirley kept me working hard, especially during the pre-staging period, when the house had to be emptied of all but the furniture I was taking with me. With only three months to accomplish the sale, they were extremely helpful in providing professionals to help me. They kept me informed at every phase, and guided me with all the forms that needed to be prepared. They also injected a little humor now and then, which I greatly appreciated. Both agents were generous with their time. They kept me informed of every level. The entire process worked well because of their diligence"
- Mary Zitomer (Seller - MD)"Ann and Shirley kept me working hard, especially during the pre-staging period, when the house had to be emptied of all but the furniture I was taking with me. With only three months to accomplish the sale, they were extremely helpful in providing professionals to help me. They kept me informed at every phase, and guided me with all the forms that needed to be prepared. They also injected a little humor now and then, which I greatly appreciated. Both agents were generous with their time. They kept me informed of every level. The entire process worked well because of their diligence"
- ZITOMER/SELLER"Jean helped with deciding what improvements were needed. She introduced me to the contractor to do the job. She provided excellent advice on what the market was doing and the best steps to get the maximum profit from our sale. She responded immediately to any questions I posed with superb input. She was cheerful and professional throughout and kept the project moving at a pace that I hoped for. All went extremely well. Very professional and seemless."
- John S."Selling a home filled with 15 years of memories was obviously more than just a business transaction for me. And so, I was pleased that Bob Johnson understood this when we first sat down to start the process of selling my home. His empathy and strong business acumen combined to make the sale not only profitable but as stress free as one could hope. From the first day we met, it was clear Bob did his homework. Based on data of comparable sales and the quality of my unit, Bob suggested a very aggressive pricing strategy that would take into consideration the issues of an August launch. The strategy worked, and I received over 13 percent more for my home than I had previously anticipated. Bob's efforts went beyond just pricing and marketing my home. He became a partner in staging, and assisting me in clearing out the home and liquidating all that I would not be moving. He either sold, or donated all I needed to unload, even going so far as to drop off my cable equipment. Bob helped fix and repair the issues uncovered in my home inspection, negotiating good deals for the larger repairs and addressing smaller issues himself. He flawlessly addressed all of the negotiations between the new owner and myself, making the final days in my home as stress free as one could. Bob responded quickly to my calls, or texts, and kept me well informed of the many stages in the process providing me with a PDF of all closing documents. And at closing he paid the $295 brokerage transaction fee. I've recommended Bob to other friends, and they've also reported back a very positive and profitable experience."
- Roger L"Absolutely awesome."
- Irene"Our experience with Joel Miller was excellent. Knowledgeable, reads the situation well, explains clearly, and executes flawlessly. Actually, exceeded all expectations while staying reality based."
- V. Bell"Service was exceptional. BBZ was a tremendous help with all the details both of buying and selling. Team was very professional. It was a delight to work with them."
- K. Waugh, Buyer & Seller Client"Kim went above and beyond with our inquiries on professional home improvement and prep services to ensure work we wanted done could be completed in a timely manner!"
- Michael & Patricia Gill"Barbara is absolutely everything we would want in a realtor! We used her years ago to find a rental in Old Town Alexandria, and specifically reached out to her again when we moved to the area again to search for a new house. She meticulously took the time to research and understand our desires and situation and went above and beyond to find the perfect house for us. I am so grateful for everything that she has done for my family and me. We will always consider her family after the relationship that we formed during our search for our first family home."
- Christy"I felt like I was his only customer. I was selling our family home after 52 years. Mark handled the sale with great respect. Mark help us make a priority list for things that should be completed before we listed the home that was reasonable and well thought out. When needed, he had quality people to help us complete the list....he is a full service realtor!"
- Elizabeth Pumphrey"We really appreciated Tom's responsiveness and availability. He held our hands through writing our first offer, helped guide our negotiations with an unresponsive seller's agent, and found us an even better house off the market when we were outbid. He was instrumental in getting us a great house in a great neighborhood. Tom negotiated to get us a credit from the sellers and include an appraisal contingency in our offer after the home inspection we had revealed some issues. We hadn't even thought to ask for those things, but it made a big difference in making us feel more comfortable
going through with the transaction. I can't recommend Tom enough! "
"Josue was there for me always. I speak Spanish, and he was able to send me information in Spanish. Josue kept me informed about the situation of my house and held my hand from the first day to the last."
- Mercedes H."Highest level of service. Patty was great."
- James"Excellent service. Ramona provided top customer service during our home selling experience. She was professional at all times and very knowledgeable of each step of the way. I would highly recommend Ramona to any person buying or selling a home."
- Tamika Celestin"Excellent. Knowledgeable and insightful but easy to understand. Mark went out of his way several times to help get the sale done."
"Excellent and professional service . Josue is awesome."
- Azubuike O."Amazing! His patience throughout my process was outstanding! Would recommend Josue a hundred times over."
- Diana A."Joan Fallows provided exceptional service. Joan is one of the best real estate agents. She assisted me from beginning to end in getting my property rented. She is attentive and knowledgeable and is always there to answer questions."
- F. D."Tom is the best. I would recommend him to everyone. "
- Lydia G."My wife and I met Ross Hunt when we went to an open house in our neighborhood. We were anticipating the day when my mother would have to move out of her house of 55 years and we would need to sell it. We met Ross that day and an almost instantaneous partnership was formed. He came to the house a few days later and spent two hours going through it and educating us on the real estate market in Alexandria. We shook hands and Ross became our real estate agent, although it would be over a year before the relationship was formalized.
During that time Ross came to the house between eight and ten times in response to our requests to meet. He never put us off and gave freely of his time and advice. After my mother moved out of the house, we formalized the relationship with Ross and began to bring in others who would prepare the house for sale. Ross was always available to meet with the team and contributed many productive ideas regarding painting, interior design, lighting, and more. Most importantly, Ross recognized and respected our budget limitations and helped us stay within it. Once the house went on the market, Ross was an invaluable and calming influence during the sales period and stayed with us every step of the way.
We could not have been more pleased with our experience with Ross Hunt. His integrity, availability, knowledge, and humor are qualities we still appreciate to this day. We hope our relationship with him will last for many years."
- David and Bonnie P."Excellent service from a highly knowledgeable realtor. Mina was instrumental in helping us find a beautiful home. Wonderful attention to details, follow up and representing us well. I trust her and would use her services again and recommend her to others. Superior service thanks to Mina. Mina provided precise information on the homes and even advised us on the best options. She was very patient with us. She was a joy to work with. I felt confident she would help us find the perfect home."
- Lawrence T."James was absolutely incredible. He guided us through the entire process, patiently answering our questions and working with us to bring our house to market in the best light. I highly recommend him to any potential sellers in the DC area."
- Michael P."Charles Hulfish was great throughout the entire home buying process. He was always accessible, and very knowledgable. Definitely recommend anyone looking to buy or sell their home to work with Charles!"
- S. Kempter"Kristen Jones always kept our needs and goals in the forefront of her guidance and professionalism as she took us through this intricate process. She is an absolute gem!"
- Laura J."Kay is friendly, knowledgeable, reliable, extremely helpful, and offers to provide service above and beyond expectations. Highly recommended!"
- H. Wolinsky"I have bought and sold a couple dozen properties in my lifetime but have never received the level of service we got from Kim and Hope. They are the best I have encountered in real estate on all levels."
- T.C."Wendy was wonderful throughout the whole process - from looking at different properties to determine what/where would be best for us, finding the best property (condo) once the location was decided and then dealing with a for sale by owner situation which made things more difficult. She also was extremely helpful with the settlement and was patient and professional the entire time. She is currently handling the sale of our townhouse and that is going very well."
- Ingrid B."We first met with Jason about a year before we moved so that we could be prepared and ready for the process and could take our time searching for the home that suited our family’s needs. We were elated when Jason found us an off-market house in our desired neighborhood and ideal location – an exact fit! Jason worked tirelessly through a very thorough home inspection and negotiations that yielded a huge seller subsidy.
Jason also moved quickly to sell our previous home with the sale coming in fast after multiple offers and landing above asking price. Jason negotiated with the buyers to give us needed flexibility on the timing of the move and a free rent-back during that period.
Jason was highly invested, responsive, and professional in working with us to find our new home. We are delighted and highly recommend him as a realtor!"
- Amy B. & Philip D. - Buyers & Sellers"The level of service we received from Joan Reimann was truly exceptional. Even with her heavy workload and other clients, she always made us feel like we were her only client. She was responsive to our questions and immediately returned our calls, day or night. Joan's experience and expertise were also invaluable. Her advice for staging the house and preparing it for sale was, no doubt, why our house sold so quickly. We were concerned that we "missed the boat" when it came to listing the house since the traditional time for the WDC metropolitan area is early spring and summer, generally speaking. Our house went on the market well after school had started and most government and military transfers had taken place. Joan assured us this wouldn't be a problem, based on her experience, and she was right. She knows the market and her guidance from the very beginning of our relationship was right on target. In brief, it would be next to impossible to find a more professional, courteous, respectful or customer-service oriented realtor. It would be impossible for us to criticize anything about working with McEnearney Associates. From the first conversation we had over the phone with Joan Reimann and the advice and guidance she gave us prior to listing our house, to involving us in her marketing strategy and coordinating house showings, the process was not only fluid and seamless, but pleasurable as well. The work required to sell a house is stressful. So for us to say that our experience with McEnearney Associates and Joan Reimann and her team was enjoyable is an understatement. "
- William S., Oak Hill"Many thanks to Joan, she did an excellent job! Joan brings a lot of experience and positive energy. She showed us many properties. I am impressed by her enthusiasm, warm personality and strong work ethic. "
- Selim M., Fairfax"Excellent."
- Kimberly S., Oak Hill"Highly professional and accommodating."
- Peter K."Sandy was great! She moved so quickly and took no time in finding a great tenant. She even helped me clean out a significant amount of things I forgot I had left at the apartment. Totally above and beyond."
- Michael B."Lauren was fantastic! She provided excellent service throughout the entire home buying process, always responding quickly, representing our needs and concerns adequately, and making the process go as smoothly as possible. Lauren was extremely helpful and communicative throughout a complicated move from overseas and a great advocate for us. I have only positive feedback for our experience with Lauren. She visited properties for us while we were overseas and gave us helpful, honest feedback that helped us find a place. We would have been lost without her support!"
- K.M."Very good all round. Lauren is great."
- B.S."Our experience in working with Jerry to sell our home was terrific. Much has changed in real estate over the 20 years since we last sold a home. Jerry led us every step of the way in down-sizing, meeting deadlines, updating our house, and preparing to relocate. Extremely knowledgable about the Northern Virginia market, she helped to make our experience pleasant and positive, resulting in a signed contract in two days. Jerry's professionalism and work ethic are outstanding, and we recommend her with the greatest of confidence!"
- Becky and Don"Rebecca is such a gem to work with. Navigating the home buying experience felt enjoyable with her. She is so personable and knowledgeable about the home search and helps you figure out what really matters to you before you make that big purchase. "
- Mike G."Rebecca has been a delight to work with on my journey to purchase my first home. She understood my style and priorities right away, regularly sending me great leads, including off-market opportunities. As a first-time home buyer, she educated me quite a bit on the entire process and connected me with a trustworthy loan officer, always making sure I had all the information I needed to make informed decisions. She’s patient and supportive and truly cares about her clients. Rebecca is incredibly attentive, diligent, and accommodating throughout the whole process so I highly recommend her to any buyer or seller. I have already recommended her to my local friends!"
- Erin S."Becky’s impressive background in real estate, renovations and finance was the triple threat we needed when it came time to sell our beloved New Alexandria home due to an overseas move. Soon after we hired her, we moved to Switzerland, leaving her to manage home improvements from start to finish and oversee the staging. Becky’s expertise, coupled with a get-it-done work ethic and a calm, focused, upbeat spirit, made everything incredibly easy for us despite our distance and 6-hour time difference. When the market proved unexpectedly challenging at our price point and location at our time of sale, Becky continued to provide exemplary counsel and guidance. We loved working with Becky and recommend her heartily to our neighbors in New Alexandria and beyond"
- Elizabeth Shea"Jason did a great job assisting us throughout the entire process of buying our first home together. He was very knowledgeable about each step and always made himself available whenever we had questions or concerns. He worked with us to see the potential in our future house and get it for a good price that allowed us to make it our own!"
- Craig & Amber B. - Buyers"We recently sold our courtyard home in Old Town Village with Lisa Groover. Lisa was a pleasure to work with and was exceptional in providing what was needed to make our house sell in one day at the asking price. We appreciated Lisa's personal attention to detail, quick response in getting everything in place for our listing and excellent follow through. She listened to our concerns and needs to make sure we were happy with the final product and outcome. Her expert advice on how to stage, what to update and pricing was invaluable in obtaining the best outcome for us. She had excellent experienced contacts to get things completed quickly so that we were ready for the market earlier than anticipated. Working with Lisa was a pleasure and we would highly recommend her services to anyone interested in having an exceptional experience in selling or buying a home."
- Cheryl and Bruce G. - Old Town Village - Patrick Model"Lisa has a good knowledge of the market and guided us through the sale of our townhouse in Old Town, Alexandria from the initial meeting, through the Open House to closing in a professional and competent manner. She is extremely good at communication and we always felt she was there for us. She has a particular flair for staging the house which is lucky, because I have not! Thanks Lisa, it was fun and a pleasure working with you."
- Carole S. - Shad Row Condos"Lisa was wonderful to work with! She was a true partner at every step of our home sale. From getting our home ready to go on the market to collaborating on strategies for marketing, her attention to detail, warmth, and personal commitment to ensuring the best possible experience during what can be a stressful process were exceptional. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome of our sale and would happily recommend her to friends, family, and colleagues at any stage of the home sale or purchase process!"
- Sloane W. - Old Town Station"Lisa’s positive attitude and sunny disposition set her apart from the start. Her qualities, selflessness, generosity and enthusiasm, are so unexpected nowadays in the business environment. They say hindsight is 20/20, and it is easy to say now that if I had trusted Lisa’s vision from the start, the sale of my house would have indubitably been short and sweet, and I would have moved on with my plans a lot faster, a lot easier. Once I followed her advice, and made some changes: Within a couple of days I got my first great offer for the house…I further implemented her strategies, and a second solid offer rolled in almost immediately. I recommend her wholeheartedly. She is one in a zillion!"
- Olga A. - Old Town Village - Emerson Model"When I decided it was time to look for a new place to live I had some definite ideas in mind. Jason listened carefully to understand what I was looking for. He knew that a property needed to be dog-friendly with the type of amenities and location that would make life easier for me and my pet. When I finally found a new property, he walked me through each step of the process. I always knew I could turn to Jason if I had questions.
When it came time to sell my initial property so much of the process was new to me. Jason was very helpful in his recommendations of what I should and should not do to get my unit ready for sale. He kept tabs on the painter I hired, and even did some cleaning up to make the place look as good as possible.
He kept me informed every step of the way and asked for my input on things like what time of day the unit should be photographed and what aspects of the neighborhood to highlight when advertising the sale. Once it hit the market, we had some serious offers and I found myself trying to choose between two that were both impressive but in different ways. Jason went back to each of the buyers’ agents and kept the negotiations going for another day. In the end I accepted an offer that was completely to my liking. The remainder of the process went smoothly.
Two things that impress me the most about Jason: his genuine interest in looking out for his clients and his sense of professionalism. He is always willing to listen to your thoughts and he remembers what you have told him. At the same time he knows the Arlington market very well and can justify what he believes a home’s value to be based on solid data such as comparable sales in the area. He likes working with people and is very fair in his dealings, which I believe will serve him and his clients well.
Overall, selling my condo with Jason was a very positive experience. I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in this area."
- Diane P. - Buyer & Seller"The level of service I received from Lauren was above and beyond at every stage of the process. We hit several bumps along the way due to the other party and I had full confidence that we would get across the finish line with Lauren by my side. The level of service from Lauren Tawil and McEnearney was top notch and I would not hesitate to recommend them to my friends and family."
- Kristin Trenum"I would like to take a minute to recognize the extraordinary help received from...Kelly Garrett...I dont know of anyone else or any agent who has ever gone to such lengths to help a potential client...Professional, courteous, informed and knowledgeable, Kelly more than deserves this small note to recognize her amazing performance. I will make sure to contact her if I ever need help renting or selling in the future."
- Veronique L."We’ve done it again, Ann: our fourth transaction together! We love our new home and location. The children are happy in their schools. Your advice and extra efforts to get our townhouse sold helped make this possible."
- Seller and Buyer, Arlington, VA"Ann Emery was wonderful! She’s a skilled negotiator and all-around professional. She really took the time to get to know us and understand our vision. We closed on a home we love in a greatneighborhood. I’d highly recommend her. She was a pleasure to work with. "
- Buyer, Oakton, VA"Jillian is the reason that we now have our dream home in Del Ray! Not only did she provide tons of advice on creating the most competitive contract in an extremely hot market, she made the whole process painless, stress-free and even fun, celebrating right along with us when we learned that our contract was accepted. Working with Jillian is definitely one of the best decisions we've made in our real estate journey!"
- Patrick & Julie Kilcur"In a "hot" market, having a realtor who acts quickly may be what gets you the house. With very few houses coming up in the neighborhood in which we were interested in buying, Jillian kept her eyes open for what was coming on the market before it officially came on. She got us in to see a house we were interested in buying before the house went "live." Had we not gotten in early, I have no doubt that there would have been multiple offers on the house. We put a contract on the house and it was smooth sailing through the entire process. It was the fifth house we've purchased, and it was by far the easiest experience we've had in home buying."
- M. Waterhouse"Jillian did a great job helping me buy my first home! She stuck with me for over a year, did a great job getting to know what I needed, what I wanted, and what my constraints were. Always quick to respond to any questions I had and really showed her expertise."
- G. Wright"Jillian was a phenomenal resource for us during our search! With looking at homes, it can often feel like a long process. I was extremely comfortable popping in and out of properties with Jillian while she highlighted the important details of each, or spending more time in the ones we were more interested in. Jillian is highly professional and thorough. So much so that we had our application completely and correctly finished and were the first to submit it, ultimately giving us the advantage over other offers. Already looking forward to working with her again in the future!"
- Teresa Boucas"Just worked with Jillian on the sale of my home. She was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Always kept me informed, very responsive to any questions, easy to work with, knowledgeable about the market, and sold my place very quickly! Thanks, Jillian!"
- Tommy Croker"Jillian went above and beyond before, during and after the purchase of our first home. Negotiations are a stressful time, but Jillian was always calm, clear and candid about what we should expect throughout the entire process. She was always available and quick to respond to our texts and calls. My wife and I could not be happier with the exceptional service Jillian provided as our agent."
- The Brucks Family"Jillian did an excellent job selling my condo in April 2017. I was most impressed with her confidence, enthusiasm, communication skills, and attention to detail. She deftly handled all the moving parts and deadlines associated with every phase of the selling process with aplomb and good cheer. She handled last minute problems before I even knew they existed. Her hard work minimized my stress and helped me accomplish my one and only goal - sell in one month! Based on my excellent experience, I would highly recommend her to anyone."
- Julie"We knew we wanted to buy a house in Northern Virginia, but we were having trouble wading through the endless neighborhoods to consider. It wasn’t until we sat down with Jillian that we were able to really nail down the target area of our search. Her vast knowledge of Northern Virginia and Alexandria, in particular, helped us find the perfect neighborhood (and in an area we didn’t even know existed!). Thanks to Jillian, we found a house we could afford in a great community. And when it was time to submit an offer, she was on it! She knew the comps for other recently sold houses nearby, had an excellent sense of the true value of the house and made a rock-solid case for the price we went in with. The offer was accepted and the rest of the process was very smooth. We love our place and could not have been happier with the excellent advice, service, and support we got from Jillian. Do yourself a favor and hire her!!"
- Tommy & Sue Ellen Tindall"Jillian was essential in helping me find a property that was within budget and one that I would feel proud owning! She is very knowledgeable and really cares about her clients which show in her willingness to assist during all hours of the day. She was very quick to respond to texts and emails and traveled far to help me narrow down the list. I highly recommend Jillian for anyone looking for an Agent who cares and one they can trust! 5/5! Thank you again, Jillian! "
- Marut Brothers"This is the second house we've bought and it was a lot easier this time because of Jillian. First, she is incredibly responsive. Our buying process took place as she was planning her wedding but you'd never know it because she responded within the hour by e-mail or phone no matter what she was doing. She scheduled all inspections so we didn't have to do a thing. She is an outstanding negotiator. She got everything we needed from the seller and did so quickly and efficiently. Jillian knows her field and she clearly loves what she does. I highly recommend her to busy people who also have high standards."
- Ann & Ted"Jillian was unequivocally wonderful to work with! She met with me at the beginning of my search for an in-depth discussion of what I was looking for, and she provided me with extremely helpful tips and instructions as a first-time homebuyer. Throughout the process, she was always readily available and very quick to respond. Once I narrowed down the neighborhood and buildings I liked, Jillian was extremely proactive in finding new listings so I was the first to see them, have time to visit and make an informed decision. After putting in an offer, Jillian was with me every step of the way and was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. She walked me through any questions or concerns, and I am extremely happy with my purchase and the entire process! A friend referred Jillian to me, and I would absolutely not hesitate to refer her to another friend."
- Nikki E."Jillian helped us buy our first home 4 years ago and when it came time for us to sell, we called Jillian again without hesitation. We can't say enough good things -- she's professional, organized, and responsive, she has great relationships with other agents (which we found is very helpful in the selling process), and truly knows the market in and out. She helped us determine the best strategy for getting a good sales price and we were blown away by the multiple offers above listing that we received. As we were looking to purchase a bigger house, Jillian was very helpful in educating us more about the neighborhood we were interested in. She helped us quickly find a new home that was perfect for our family. Her instincts, negotiation skills, and strategies were spot on and we credit her entirely with the great purchase price we were able to get on the home. Negotiating a purchase below list price is not easy to do in a hot market like DC! She walked us through every step of the purchase to make sure the transaction went smoothly and all deadlines were met ahead of schedule. Jillian is patient and hard-working and made what can be an overwhelming process very easy on us; we will without a doubt continue to use her for any future real estate needs."
- Sarah & Tommy Binion"Jillian is fantastic! Jillian and I went to high school together, but we really didn’t know each other that well. We reconnected when Jillian approached me at the gym (her warmth in reaching out to an acquaintance speaks volumes about her as a person and as a realtor). Fast forward a couple years, and I reached out to her about buying our first house. Working with Jillian was like working with a close friend (a very organized and responsive friend). I highly recommend working with her, especially if you are a first-time homebuyer who is seeking some extra help in understanding the process. She’ll keep you organized and on-task without making the process feel like a chore."
- Dorsey Family"Jillian was above and beyond amazing representing our home/old post office in McLean. Far from the usual McLean home, we needed an agent who understood historic, older structures and contemporary marketing approaches. Jillian was perfect with both. She had terrific creative strategies, securing a feature story in dcurbanturf.com as the "pick of the week" and selling our home in 8 days. Thank you, Jillian, for everything you did to take the stress of selling our home off our shoulders. 10 stars for you!!!"
- Peggy & Rebecca"Adrianna is a very attentive to the needs of her clients. We wanted to be in a neighborhood that we could run and walk. She even ran with us to each of the places on our list and created the running route!"
- Kim S."Jillian was a dream to work with- her personable style and enthusiasm are infectious. She guided through me every step of selling my home, ensuring I got the best possible price. I’m not exaggerating when I say I could not have done this without help and professionalism. Selling a house is stressful enough but add to that the updates that needed to be done and it just ups the ante.I was worried that I might not get the price I wanted, but with Jillian’s expertise and a minimal investment I was able to realize an additional $175,00 in profit and got two offers that were at least $50,000 over the asking price and $7000 over my ultimate goal sale price.I literally moved out of my house and left the country and she managed the renovations. A month later I came back, we met, went through the house, and she informed me the house would be ready to go on the market in 2.5 days. I gave my hardwood floors some TLC, she had stagers come in, and Friday afternoon it was live and by Friday night we had 8 individual appts. for the following day. By the following morning we had 11. Open House was on Sunday from 2-4, we had 40 independent groups come through, and by Monday at 2pm we had 8 offers. By 3 Made my choice as she guided me through the pros and cons. Everything was handled to perfection and the marketing and staging were brilliant.Jillian then guided me through the appraisal process and was always available for questions. We had a slight hiccup right before closing and Jillian worked every angle until it was resolved.I can’t imagine selling my house without her by my side. Her professionalism was exemplary, her moral and emotional support made the process of letting go of my home of 17 years close to joyful. I never doubted that she always had my best interests at heart. I feel like I not only sold a house but gained a friend. I’d recommend her to anyone - and I have - she’ll bend over backwards for you."
- Aimee Houghton"This Jillian Keck Hogan Group is hands down, the best in Alexandria. They were truly invested in making our dream become a reality. To that end, the Group always made us feel like we were their priority - through both our purchase and our sale. They guided us through the tricky process of purchasing our "forever home" and were ever so patient as we sold our home. They never panicked when issues arose and always kept us in the loop with all strategy. We were lucky to work with them and would not hesitate to recommend them all to others. I would say we'll be sure to use them again - but, there's no need to...they found us our dream home"
- Denise Giraudo Katz"We've worked with Kay through two home purchases and one home sale. It would be easy for me to talk about her one-on-one assistance throughout the entire buying/selling process, her prior work in construction that enables her to spot potential problems and know how to remedy them (or strongly suggest we walk away), and her amazing connections to tradespeople who do outstanding work.
What really impresses me about Kay, though, is her real estate business acumen. When we were first-time buyers 20+ years ago, she suggested we might like the up- and-coming Del Ray area for its access to the metro and home town feel, factors that also made it a great investment. Then, when we were ready to relocate to a larger location within Del Ray, she accurately assessed the market environment, preparing and pricing our home so that we received a full-price offer within five hours of it going on the market.
While we hope to stay in our home for a very long time, we know that if a change does need to be made, we will have a great advocate and Realtor by our side with Kay. "
- M. Manning"Fantastic service, Bradshaw walked us through all of the necessary steps and helped mitigate some of the 'curveballs' that we experienced during the buying process. As first-time homeowners, we couldn't have asked for a better agent."
- Jason Anders"Jean was absolutely amazing. she sacrificed a tremendous amount of time to ensure that we were satisfied, comfortable, and ended up with an incredible house that we were very confident in. She walked us through the process the entire time, as we were first time home buyers. She called me the first time on her family vacation. she stayed up until almost midnight on a Saturday night working to put our offer in. Jean is absolutely amazing! So I appreciate her and would recommend her to anyone and everyone. The seller actually told us that he loved working with Jean. He said she was so professional and he ended up choosing our offer because of Jean. My husband and I are so thankful for Jean - her knowledge, her work ethic, and her professionalism, and her sacrifices. She is so easy to talk to and has a wonderful personality, as well as skillset in the area of real estate. She is a gem."
- Ashley K."Lisa was an amazing partner for us with buying the house."
- JOHANNA B."Sarah is awesome. We used her to buy a new home and sell our condo. From the moment I met her at an open house I felt comfortable with her. She doesn’t waste time and understands how important the “little things” are....calling you back right away; seeing listings or doing home inspections w/ a moment’s notice; adding that extra picture to the wall or potted plant to make the listing more attractive. Her taste is impeccable and she has great instincts. She makes you feel like her most important client all the time. I have used 4 different realtors over the course of buying/selling homes and she is the only one I trust to use over and over again."
- Bree"We worked with Chris for more than a year to find a home with unique requirements. We wanted a photography studio AND a large vegetable garden, a view of the mountains and a neighborhood for our boys. Chris listened carefully and did extra legwork to provide us with answers we needed along the way. Her attention to detail and level of professionalism were apparent from our very first tour. Then we were faced with some extra challenges after our closing. Chris was strong and stood by our family until everything was resolved. We feel like many agents would have moved on and left us hanging. Chris’ tag line is “DARE TO DREAM. I'LL MAKE IT COME TRUE!” and she delivered! We have our dream home and my eyes still fill up with tears of joy when I drive home."
- J & A"Finding a home in the DC area can be stressful - especially if you’re a first time home buyer! From day one, Mary Beth truly guided us through the process and was patient, informative, thorough, responsive, and communicative every step of the way. Mary Beth’s deep understanding of the DC area helped us narrow down our search criteria and find the right neighborhood and home for us. She was extremely flexible and responsive during the search process and worked around our busy schedules to see properties within hours or days of them being listed. Mary Beth helped us navigate the process of submitting an offer and negotiating, so we could put down a competitive offer while still remaining comfortable with the terms. She was also extremely thorough in her review of the many HOA docs for the condo we ended up purchasing. You can trust Mary Beth to guide you through the home buying process and advocate for you at each stage (and be very pleasant and professional along the way!). We are very grateful to Mary Beth for her help and guidance and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home in the DC area. "
- Blair T."Thoroughly professional in every aspect of the process. It was a joy to work with Mr. Johnson again. A great Thank You to him! Mr. Johnson very ably orchestrated the close out of my tenants, advised on upgrades to the property and successfully identified and reviewed the new prospective renters. All done with ease that his vast knowledge and experience provides. I cannot find sufficient praiseworthy adjectives to do justice to Mr. Johnson. I could not find a single way to improve on my experience. This doesn’t remotely express my admiration for Mr. Johnson over the past 3 plus years."
- Philis H."Chris helped us buy a new house and sell the previous one in 2019. He is a very knowledgeable and amazingly dedicated professional. In the first transaction, he proactively scouted the market and helped us get the house we wanted at an attractive price. As our selling agent in the second transaction, he has made every effort to market our house widely and shorten the selling time. He competently advised us on the necessary renovations that would increase the house’s value the most and present it favorably. Throughout the process, he has kept us informed at all stages, responding to every email and text message without delay. Thanks to his upbeat attitude and professional advice, we've sailed through both buying and selling houses with ease, confidence, and efficiency!"
- Nikolay G."Chris was a delight to work with during our rental search. He was always quick to respond to any questions and kept us updated on where they were in the rental process from application to drafting the lease. Chris treated us like we were longtime friends and gave some great insight to the area where our new rental house was located. I can honestly say that the entire process was very smooth and Chris was a big reason for that. We felt lucky to be working with him during this process and would refer Chris to anyone of our family and friends who were looking for a property in the area."
- Matt C."Lauren was the best, we were so happy to have her as our agent. She was attentive, understood our wants, and helpfully guided us through the process."
- Daniel Weggeland"Thanks to the marketing savvy and outstanding efforts of Yolanda Mamone my home was under contract in 4 days with multiple offers and over list price. Yolanda carefully evaluated my house in terms of market appeal to a variety of purchasers which included: Moving furniture, downsizing my belongings, some painting and power washing patio and entry steps; Furnishing and organizing my lower level to show its functionality; Incorporating games, toys, and even a scooter to entertain any children who might visit. She provided support throughout this huge undertaking, with people to move furniture, remove unwanted items, dispose of recyclables, move items in to be staged and even recommended terrific window washers. She prepared an impressive marketing campaign with an individual video of the home and of the neighborhood. Most importantly, she worked with me every step and negotiated an earlier settlement which saved me thousands of dollars. Her extensive technical expertise, professionalism and willingness to work on any matter, great or small, yielded excellent results for me."
- Carolin Crabbe"Marilyn Cantrell went above and beyond working with us to find the house of our dreams. She spent countless hours researching homes, providing us guidance based on her years of experience. Once we found our home, she researched the home, area, crime, comps and many other little things, to help us make an educated decision and smart purchase. She worked with the seller's agent to negotiate a fair price and through our issues. Since closing two weeks ago, Marilyn has continued to follow up with us, ensuring we get settled without issue. Marilyn was beyond prepared to handle all our questions and demands. When it came time to understand the financial side of the purchase, she was ready with an excellent recommendation, who was able to provide immediate support to our questions as well as turn around a mortgage in 3 weeks. Marilyn having a known and ready team to support the purchase (home inspector and loan agent) made the difference in our purchase."
- Lisa and Phillip, First Time Homebuyer"Susan exceeded our expectations"
"Living out of state, it was even more critical we have a reliable realtor of high integrity, and Susan exceeded our expectations. She handled every part of our condominium sale professionally and provided beautiful, top-notch marketing materials and excellent communication. Susan definitely goes the extra mile for her clients!"
- Elizabeth O. & David H. Old Town Seller Clients"Susan was absolutely amazing!"
"Susan was absolutely amazing! The good news is she sold our home in two days. The even better news is she was a joy to work with. She was always on top of everything, and her advice was always spot on, which made the process as stress-free as it could possibly be. We can’t say enough good things about her!”"
- Jim M. & Carla S. Old Town Seller Clients"Susan is patient, practical, and knows the market"
"I have worked with Susan in both buying and selling houses and have recommended her to other satisfied clients. She is patient, practical, knows the market and is focused on important details. She is creative in seeing the possibilities for improving a property and also a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her."
- Maria G. Old Town Buyer & Seller Client"Bretta was tremendously helpful in finding me a place when I made a cross country move. She was with me every step of the way in the lease process and even helped me find movers!"
- S. Chaudhry"The process of renting with you was super smooth and easy. Before we spoke on the phone the first time, I was spending hours each day looking at places, calling and emailing complexes and landlords, and waiting to hear back; it was stressful and didn't feel productive. But once we starting working together, my stress decreased. I appreciated how quickly you sent me listings in my price range and connected with the property so we could view it. I also really appreciated all of the additional questions you asked the property managers, especially the ones I wouldn't have thought to ask! Again, everything was so smooth and easy; I 100% will recommend you to anyone I know who moves and will contact you when the time comes for me to move again!"
"
- Candace C."Though the circumstances surrounding our move were so crazy, we found that working with you was so wonderful! We honestly do not think that we would have pulled this move off in the time frame that we had without your help. We very much appreciated how quickly you responded to our questions, were willing to change directions as different barriers came up, and even helped sort out challenges that arose after we signed our lease. We had never worked with an agent before, but are so very glad that we connected with you! You definitely brought a bright light to an otherwise chaotic life circumstance. We think everyone should know how great it is to work with you!"
- Anna & Andy D."We were an out of state move to Alexandria. I received a work transfer and since my husband and I had never been to Alexandria before, we were faced with finding a house in five days. Sallie was there to hear our requirements and quickly arranged viewings. We were not familiar with the realty process and she walked us through step by step, always keeping our needs and timings in mind. End result, we found a perfect home with the assistance of a caring and knowledgeable Realtor!"
- Lynnette M."Heidi was terrific in every way. Professional. Very well informed of the market. Thorough and friendly and easy to work with. We would highly recommend her to anyone."
- S. Hayes, Alexandria, VA 22307"Heidi was beyond amazing to work with. We were first-time homebuyers so we had a lot to learn about the entire process. Heidi was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the process; starting with looking at houses and up to closing on our dream home. Once she saw what would become our home, she immediately flagged it for us to look at before it was posted to our side of the Bright MLS portal and reserved a time for us to look at the house the following day. Thanks to Heidi, we are now in our dream home and we could not have gotten luckier to work with such an amazing agent."
- J & T Holden, Burke, VA 22015"She’s a pit bull when working to get you the best deal. Knowledgeable, committed, on top of things. She explains everything and keeps you up to date as things go along. I wouldn’t go with anyone else."
- T. Ashton, Alexandria, VA 22315"Heidi is a pleasure to work with. She is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, ethical, reliable, dependable and trustworthy. She was extremely helpful with the sale of my mother's condos from pre-sale preparation of the units to their closings. She was always available by phone or text for any questions which arose. Heidi thoroughly explained everything is the listing agreements and in all contracts. Within a week of listing the units, we received multiple offers from very qualified buyers. Heidi brought them both to closing without any problems. Heidi is also an excellent rental agent, and will find very qualified tenants and execute their leases, as well."
- C. Frazier, Alexandria, VA 22307"Heidi was great to work with and got results. She helped me close on my new place in under a month, and found me a buyer for my old place in under a day. She’s a lovely person to work with and sent me daily updates filled with optimism and positivity. I can’t say enough good things about my experience."
- Z. McNamara, Alexandria, VA 22303 & Alexandria, VA 22307"Heidi is extremely professional and has a positive demeanor that makes you feel comfortable with her right away. She guides you through a process that can be stressful and you feel supported the entire way by someone who is knowledgeable about it. She has helped me sell a home and now purchase one. Best choice for a realtor!!"
- C. Williams, Leesburg, VA 20176"Heidi was great to work with. We decided to go with her as our realtor after 2 friends' recommendations. After our first meeting with Heidi, we felt very comfortable moving forward working with her. Anytime we were interested in looking at a house, Heidi was quick to set up a viewing time, even if it was the next day. We spent many weekends viewing houses and Heidi always made herself available to go to these viewing with us whether it was on a Saturday or Sunday. Once we did make an offer on our current house, Heidi stayed up late working on the offer and got it to the seller's listing agent the night we saw it making it the first offer the seller saw which I think was a huge advantage for us. She always had our best interest in mind and we could tell that from the beginning. I would highly recommend Heidi to anyone looking to buy a home in Northern Virginia or DC."
- C. Cunningham, Falls Church, VA 22042"Heidi, was great to work with. Her knowledge of the local market was very helpful. She is very responsive and will always get back to you in a timely manner. If you are looking for a realtor I recommend contacting her."
- Will OC, Alexandria, VA 22305"Heidi was FANTASTIC to work with. Everything was taken care of on schedule and will no stress on my end. She understands the market for potential buyers in Alexandria and was on point for every step of the home buying process and anticipated any potential delays or problems throughout the process. I would recommend Heidi to anyone looking for a new home."
- B. Holewinski, Alexandria, VA 22314"Heidi is an expert in all aspects of real estate. She is dedicated, hard working and so wonderful to work with. Heidi has a drive to help her client, she cares, she's professional, and she gets the job done. I will work with Heidi the next chance I get and would 100% recommend her to anyone in the real estate arena."
- J. Marchant, Alexandria, VA 22307"Heidi was one of the best realtors we have ever worked with. She was professional, detail oriented, experienced, and above all else, she was a terrific partner and advocate for us in our sale. Heidi knew local conditions and knew exactly what we needed to do to sell our home. She was honest but encouraging, and she kept us informed of every step along the way. I cannot recommend her highly enough! "
- K. Yasaitis, Alexandria, VA 22307"I highly recommend choosing Heidi Burkhardt as your Real Estate Agent. Working with Heidi has been a wonderful experience. Heidi's work was exceptional during the entire process; from the listing and showing of my old home to the negotiating and purchasing my new home. Her attention to detail and demeanor pulled me through this stressful experience. I would definitely use Heidi in the future for home purchases. "
- G. Larosa, Arlington, VA 22203 & Arlington, VA 22207"Like most first-time prospective homebuyers, the process of becoming eventual homeowners was extremely daunting for us as newlyweds. We set out on our journey house shopping during the winter of 2016, using various website and search tools. These resources were helpful for our tertiary research but they were not intuitive in helping us identify gaps in our own knowledge. We were extremely fortunate that our preliminary searches lead us to Heidi Burkhardt with McEnearney Associates, Inc - Old Town Office. We first met Heidi when we were running late for an Open House in Old Town, VA. Heidi was very friendly and offered to take us through the house even though the allotted timeslot was over. While we did not end up placing an offer on this first house, we did continue to keep in contact with Heidi. Heidi was able to set up a search portal that was tailored to meet the exact criteria we were looking for. The portal provided us with considerably more information than any of the search engines we had been using online. Heidi’s search results also helped us learn about properties before they had been published on the major search website which gave us an advantage in the competitive DC metro house buying market. Heidi took the time to acquaint herself with us, and she helped us develop our must-have list vs. our like-to-have list. After about a month or so of serious house searching, Heidi recommended we take a trip through a neighborhood in Alexandria. We immediately loved the neighborhood, and are happy to say we are now homeowners in Virginia. Heidi was prompt and thorough during our entire mortgage process. Her calm demeanor and organizational skills made the process much less stressful than it could have been otherwise. We were very new to the amount of paperwork and information it would take to buy our first home, and Heidi went above and beyond to make sure we were very clear on the process. Heidi was always reachable, and at our disposal for phone calls, coffee meetings or email chats whenever we found ourselves in places of confusion. We could not have been happier with the work we did with Heidi and we love our new home. Heidi is truly a rockstart realtor and we would recommend her to anyone. "
- H. Hawkins, Alexandria, VA 22310"Heidi was responsive, conscientious, very helpful, and knowledgeable about the local market. She went above and beyond to make sure the sale of the condo was done in a timely manner, and from the beginning through each part of the sales process was very professional. I would definitely recommend her!"
- B. Gambo, Alexandria, VA 22307"Heidi went above in beyond in helping us find our first home. As first time buyers we really appreciated her thoroughness and dedication to making sure we made a great investment and had everything ready for a quick closing. I would recommend Heidi to any of my friends or family in knowing she is taking care of the buyers to ensure they have a great experience."
- E. Murphy, Alexandria, VA 22305"Heidi is knowledgeable and professional. She is a skilled negotiator and works effectively and efficiently through the selling process. Her positive demeanor made the collaboration a great experience! Highly recommended!"
- C. Williams, Manassas, VA 20111"Heidi Burkhardt did an absolutely outstanding job assisting me sell my single family home and downsize to a townhouse. Her knowledge of the real estate market, the home buying/selling process, and exceptional customer service skills made the entire process seemless from start to finish. I absolutely would not hesitate to recommend Heidi to any individual in the Northern Virginia area considering buying, selling, or renting a home."
- K. Bitar, Manassas, VA 20112"Heidi was always looking out for us and made the home buying experience as painless as possible. She was always responsive and had our best interests in mind with each interaction and step of the way."
- G. Shapiro, Alexandria, VA 22306"Heidi Burkhardt is simply the best real estate professional that I have ever worked with!! Her knowledge of the local market and advice on what to do and when to sell was key in the very fast selling and closing of my Condo. One shining example of her great service: She went well beyond the normal service provided by taking the initiative to make arrangements for my nice but heavy furniture that I had left behind after moving out to be removed and donated to someone who really needed it. She made touch-up paint repairs caused by the home inspector when removing the electric panel, and facilitated window repairs with the condo assoc. maintenance staff that were required to remove an inspection contingency."
- C. Howard, Alexandria, VA 22307"Heidi is an excellent agent in additional to being very tech savvy. She is honest and trustworthy. Anyone would be in goods hands with Heidi as their agent. I worked with Heidi when I was an agent and when I was ready to sell ...who did I call. Heidi of course! She is a pro."
- D. Wilburn, Alexandria, VA 22307"Heidi was awesome! She took the time to listen. She was very professional in her handling of all the details to facilitate the selling of the property. She was quick to respond to my questions and was a clear communicator. She was a great person to work with, and I would do so again. I would also highly recommend her to others!"
- W. Hieronymus, Alexandria, VA 22307"We were lucky enough to hire Heidi almost a full year prior to our sale. She provided expert advice for that entire time as we were preparing our home for the market. She told us what was important to do and what was a waste of time and money. In each case, she was 100% correct. When we experienced every seller's dream -- a bidding war - she kept cool and helped us distinguish between the bids to maximum benefit. We could not have been more pleased with Heidi's professionalism, skill and client service orientation. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
- C. Campanella, Alexandria, VA 22308"Thanks again for your wise and steady guidance on the sale of my house. You are a true professional."
- M. Robin"As first time buyers in a fast moving market, Wendy was our saving grace. Our good friend just bought a home in the neighborhood and raved about her experience with Wendy. Prompt, knowledgeable, and patient, she guided us through the entire process and always with a smile. We relied on her expertise heavily in the offer process as we were looking in a competitive, sought after area. Houses would garner multiple offers immediately after listing and not even make it to the open house. Due to her strategy and local knowledge, our first offer was accepted! Wendy was so awesome that the listing agent told us during the settlement, “You’ve got a great agent! Thank you for the smooth closing.""
- Young & Bo H."A colleague of mine introduced me to Wendy Santantonio after learning that I was moving from the West Coast to the Northern Virginia area. After speaking with Wendy about my desires in a new home, she quickly compiled a list of properties for me to visit during a house hunting trip to the area. We saw approximately 20 homes in a three-day period before making an offer on a home in Northern Alexandria. Thanks to Wendy, I was able to close on the property within 30 days of going under contract. Wendy’s responsiveness, knowledge, and communication skills facilitated the home buying process in what is considered one of the most competitive real estate markets in the United States. Wendy was able to accommodate my fluctuating schedule from over 2,000 miles away and three time zones. I am extremely satisfied with not only my new home, but with the ease and efficiency of the home buying process thanks to Wendy. I highly recommend Wendy to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Northern Virginia."
- Mike G."After working with Martha for 30 years she is more like family than she is a realtor. Knowledgeable of the DC market, efficient in closing deals, and always a source of great advice. Outstanding service. Thanks for everything Martha."
- Paul Lang"Outstanding with every step from the beginning to the end. She is the best I have worked with."
- CP, Vienna VA"We were first-time home buyers in the competitive Arlington market, so having a great realtor was very important to us. Katie found a great listing that I wouldn't have checked out on my own, and within a few weeks we were under contract for an amazing 4BR/3.5BA in a desirable neighborhood of North Arlington. She walked us through every step, recommended a great title company and mortgage lender, and helped us immensely at every stage of the process. On top of everything, she gave our kids the sweetest closing gifts, which were some toys she'd noticed them enjoying during one of our open house visits."
- Rasheed Malik"Jerry has been a great resource for our family, both as an agent helping us find a home from afar and as a friend helping us get settled in a new community. When we started looking for a home here in VA, we were unfamiliar with the area and Jerry provided us a wealth of information and resources to help us make our decision. She coordinated and made herself available for showings when my husband was able to visit the area to look at homes. She maintained constant contact throughout the offer making and mortgage approval processes, always keeping us updated on information as it became available. She also helped us navigate unexpected snafus that could have been particularly stressful otherwise. We are incredibly grateful for everything she has done for us and would, without a doubt, employ her services again should we have any real estate needs! Thanks, Jerry!"
- Jackie and Dan"JaneEllen Saums is an experienced and knowledgeable professional who is well versed in all aspects of real estate sales. She was amazing throughout the whole process of helping us sell our home. We were impressed with her dedication to her work, and her accessibility and flexibility in accommodating our schedules. She strives to ensure that her client's best interests are served. From the very first she gave great suggestions for staging, recommending craftsmen and pricing. She created a beautiful brochure for showing off our home and paid attention to every detail. Thanks to all her efforts and guidance, our home was under contract in one day! She went above and beyond and we are so grateful. We couldn't have asked for a better experience in selling our home. To top it off, it is fun to work with JaneEllen! We highly recommend her to anyone who wants to work with a top-notch agent. 10 stars!!! "
- Kathy and John Draper"We had a really great experience working with Laura Schwartz of McEnearney Associates while purchasing our new condo. She helped us search within our limited geographic range and kept us updated on units before they even entered the market. She provided really useful information about the apartments using her housing knowledge and keen eye for detail. She is very informed about the real estate market and helped us navigate this difficult buyers market to find our perfect apartment and beat out 6 other offers for the apartment!"
- Emily Behrman"We worked with Susan Minnick when we bought our first house and now 5 years later selling this same house to relocate out of state. We cannot thank her enough for all the extras she did for us as we had already moved. She was honest and so helpful in both the buying and selling process. We valued her guidance and she always led us in the right direction. We've now worked with realtors in 3 different states and Susan is truly the best. We wish she could fly here and help us here on the West Coast!"
- Anuja"My husband and I can't say enough about Pat Smith with McEnearney Associates out of Old Town. She knows northern VA -- especially Old Town and the area south of the Beltway extremely well. We've bought two houses/townhouses and sold one with Pat (she found us our house here in Hollin Hall), and we wouldn't work with anyone else. She is a great person who fights for the best deal for her clients, but also doesn't lock her clients into a contract with her as their realtor until they find a house they love and are actually ready to place a contract on a house. We still keep in touch with her regularly, even though we're pretty settled where we are -- that's how much we like her."
- Satisfied Client"Where do we begin? Susan, thank you for taking care of us! We couldn't be more pleased with our purchase and we have you to thank for guiding us in the right direction. Thank you for your expertise and friendship."
- CGL"Thank you so much for being the best agent ever! You put forth 100% for us from the beginning and saw us through until the end."
- KP"Thanks for doing such a great job and for treating us as if we were your only client."
- MKC"Susan was incredible to work with during a contract that was overseas and with customers who were extremely detail oriented."
- TS"Thanks again for making the home buying process so easy."
- YS"Words are inadequate to tell you how much we appreciate your care and expertise in selling the house. Your professionalism comes through so well."
- Joan Slaymaker"I am still stunned by how right your market analysis was, by your insight into how to price and present the house, the amount of time you devoted to making us comfortable, and the results of your sales efforts."
- Jossiah O. Hatch"Robin made the process bearable and got the job done. Her professionalism and lighthearted personality were perfect."
- Patricia Taylor - Alumni Dir. (Ret.), St. Stephens's & St. Agnes School"When negotiations got tough, Robin saved the day with her grace, style and dignity. What more can we say?"
- Rick Schwabacher"Your effort and professionalism were impressive. Your warmth and genuineness of personality made us your lifelong admirers."
- Robert G. Rich, Jr."In March, my husband Erik and I learned that we were expecting twins. This exciting news put us on the fast track for selling our beloved Old Town row house and buying something that could better accommodate four children. To the rescue to help with this overwhelming process was Jodie Burns. At an open house in early April we met Jodie, and within two weeks we had signed the listing agreement for our home. Jodie, seemingly, dropped everything else to get our house staged, photographed and on the market by within two weeks of meeting us. A nearly impossible feat, but one that paid off when multiple offers came in above asking price after one weekend. Buying went nearly as quickly and by mid-June we were settled in our new (and a bit larger) home in Alexandria. We can't thank Jodie enough for her tireless efforts to help the Milito family."
- Beth M."After an exhausting list of homes Ashley and I found a house we loved and our offer on the house was accepted. A date for settlement was achieved that matched up perfectly with the start our new jobs but that date was soon pushed back for problem after problem. Thankfully Jodie was there to help us through the problems and explain what was going on. When you currently live over 100 miles from your new house it's hard to fully understand what is going on day to day. Jodie kept in constant contact and always let us know what was going on. She was able to handle every problem in a professional manner while keeping what was best for us in mind. When everything was said and done Ashley and I were very happy with our choice of Realtors and were glad to have gained a new friend in Jodie. She saved us many times."
- Steve U."We LOVED working with her. Betsy is knowledgeable, insightful, experienced and accessible. She is determined and fiercely loyal to her clients. Very honest."
- L. S. - Vienna, VA"Hello Betsy & Happy New Year, Thank you for showing David & me the town home on Friday. We appreciate you making time for us at the last minute. I have to tell you that you are by far the best Realtor that I have met in Virginia. You are personable, honest and knowledgeable. I like to think that you and I are alike in how we treat clients."
- CT, an agent"I recommend Betsy Carson highly as your real estate agent. While employed as my listing agent Betsy demonstrated true professionalism in all respects. She is knowledgeable of the current real estate market, completely transparent and upfront (you always know what is going on) in her actions, provides realistic advice in accordance with your goals, knows all the tricks of the trade, is easy to work with, and is tenacious in her dealings on your behalf with buyers. She helped me sell my house in a tough market for a more than acceptable price and within my very restrictive time constraints. Betsy is a true full time and experienced agent who throughout the process of selling shows how much she loves her job, and how it truly is her profession."
- R. S., Vienna, VA"Betsy was referred to us by one of her past clients at a time when we needed her the most. Our home had been on the market for too long with no contracts or real interest. Betsy swooped in, and in no time got us going in the right direction. We made a few rather minor changes to our home to make it more appealing to potential buyers. After making the house "market ready" Betsy did a thorough pricing analysis showing us where our home should be positioned for the current market conditions ... several thousand dollars less than where it had been priced with our previous listing agent. Betsy held the house open most every weekend, and also had an open house for Brokers. We appreciated that Betsy kept in touch with us almost on a daily basis with emails or phone calls giving us feedback on showings, sign calls, and what her next marketing step was going to be. The end of the story is that in a tough market we were excited to get a strong contract, in a short amount of time, and were able to move on."
- P.G., Herndon, VA"Betsy, I'm not sure I can express in words how much Steve and I appreciate your help with the house sale and purchase! We are forever grateful for your endless efforts on all fronts and your commitment to finding us the perfect house/contract. You exemplify "integrity in action"!"
- D. N. Oak Hill. VA"Betsy Carson is honest, customer oriented, market savvy, persistent, and totally attentive to detail. She is the very best Realtor we have known in over 40 years of buying and selling properties. Her recent management of a sale for us was the key to maximizing our net profit, and minimizing the time it was listed. We could have sold the property "by owner", but we would not have netted as much profit, after selling expenses, and we would have spent much more time and hassle. Her professional guidance and orchestration of the process, and her critical role in the final negotiations, were crucial to our very successful sale."
- C.P. Alexandria, VA"Working with Betsy Carson on a recent transaction proved to be a very pleasant and refreshing experience. She was able to represent the best interests of her client while fostering an amicable and productive relationship with me. Betsy is a true professional and I look forward to working with her again in the future!"
- D. H, Agent at RE/MAX Gateway"Betsy is the best - she goes the extra mile; is extremely experienced & guides the seller appropriately; she got me to someone who helped me decide between selling and renting. What is notable is how quickly the property sold - Betsy holding an open house even after we had a contract proposal turned out to be a key factor in selling the house."
- K.M., Oakton, VA"Using technology made it easy....I didn't have much time when I found out I was being transferred to the DC area. Being able to start my search and see photos over the internet helped a lot. For the new listings, Sharon was able to take video and photos and e-mail them to me ten days before the listing company got the photos! In such a competitive market that gave me the head start I needed to get the right house!"
- Past Client"As a single, first time buyer prices were intimidating... Sharon was informative on the process and knew the area extremely well. She showed me the neighborhoods where I felt safe AND had access to public transportation. She found me exactly what I wanted, for the price I wanted to pay."
- Past Client"We kept feeling like we were in a dream....Everything went so smoothly! We bought the new home for under the appraised value and sold ours for $36,000 over the asking price in one weekend! My wife feels like we are staying in a luxury hotel, but it is our new home! The entire process could not have gone better!"
- Past client"You are our Realtor for Life! (How about that?)"
- - Helen Thomas McIntosh!"Hi! I wanted to let you know how much I LOVE my new place! We did so well on the sale of my former condo,and now here I am in the media room watching LOST with my friends and we are super happy! They are VERY impressed. The Phoenix totally kicks ".....". My bff Justina is going to move and could use your help. I am giving your contact information to her."
- Manena Bernasconi-Discovery"Cindy - Thank you for all of your assistance in finding my new home. It was a pretty painless process, which I know I couldn't have done without you!! Thanks again for everything!!! Hi to Libby."
- Beth Egan - DHS"Hey Cindy - I just wanted to write to say what a great pleasure it was working with you. "General Contractor Clemmer" doesn't even begin to describe how easy you made the process of getting our home ready for sale. We wanted to do several upgrades to the townhouse before selling it, and you did it all, from getting us quotes, to arranging workmen's schedules, etc. All we had to do was choose colors of paint & carpet, and choose one of the contractors you recommended, then of course, to reimburse you for your out of pocket costs. We did not have to lift a finger in order to get our house in the best shape possible. You could not have made it easier for us!!! And I couldn't imagine anyone being more on top of things!!! You kept us informed every step of the way and then some, just enough to be well-informed, but not burdened by details. Thanks again for make the sales process so painless and giving us your great advice along the way. We'll refer you to all our family and friends in the area. Townes of Hillwood - Alexandria"
- Kathleen & Reg Bragdon"Cindy, Francisco and I would like to thank you for your superb work in selling our condo in Marina Towers. Living in Indiana made it difficult for us to handled the Virginia property as a rental. Once we made the decision to sell, you helped us tremendously by getting the unit updated & ready to put on the market. You didn't just sign a listing agreement to sell the property, you took on the added responsibility of finding us the right contractors and service providers, worked with suppliers to select tile, granite counter tops, kitchen appliances, refinish parquet floors, install carpet and much more...always keeping in constant contact every step of the way with information, prices and pictures. Once all selections were made, you worked closely with contractors and the building to ensure the work got done quickly and correctly. And last but not least you staged the unit with your own accessories & furniture in order to give the condo a "personal" touch. We are relieved to be "ex-landlords" and could not have done it without you! Again Francisco and I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts and we feel we have a friend for life. Most Sincerely,"
- Cynthia Rosales"Cindy has had a positive impact in my life on two occasions. In 2004 she helped my nephew find a home near Fort Belvoir that I shared with him until early this year and in January 2006, she found the home that I now own and share with my fiance and her three children. Simply put, you could not wish to find a better and more proactive Realtor than Cindy and on a personal level, you could not ask for a better friend in the DC area. She is a patient and caring individual that took the time to get to know me and my desires as well as took the time over a greater than 3 month period to help me find the perfect home to meet my extensive requirements. I can personally attest that Cindy will work exhaustively with you to find the right home, in the right area, and at the right price to keep you happy for years to come. SHE IS A WINNER!!!! Very respectfully,"

- Rod"We were so grateful for your intervention on our behalf with your colleagues and were very pleased with the sale of our lots in Port Charlotte a very much better deal than we had ever been quoted before and I'm sure your watchful eye did the trick, we being absentee Landlords. Very many thanks indeed for your help."
- Dillys"Because of your intense hard work and persistence in finding our new home, by the unique loyalty to our family in seeing through the entire application and acceptance...the process was such an overwhelming gift to us. You went well beyond and above to help us...you truly changed our lives by taking us under your wing and finding us the right home, I cannot say it any other way except we were so blessed to have you be our advocate. We want to thank you sincerely for the wonderful gift of your time and hard work!"
- John & Megan"We did get the application approved and are moving into the house you showed us. I would like to thank you for your very prompt attention and have already recommended you to our friends as a wonderful agent to work with."
- J'nie"... I am very keen to use you as my agent. You are so professional and competent, and I really like working with you. I am going to hang on to all your information, and would very much like to go through you to buy a home when we are ready. Thanks again so much for all your helpful hints you have given me so far - I very much look forward to working with you."

- Satisfied Customer"Monika was and is amazing! We will refer her to any and every person we know!"
- Satisfied Customer"Your company is very fortunate to have someone like Monika on your side."
- Satisfied Customer"Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the work that you did. Without your guidance throughout the home buying process, we would have been lost. Your professionalism and enthusiasm were a constant and helped make this an even more exciting time for us!"

- Satisfied Customer"I honestly don't know how Monika's work ethic, her realistic approach, her results can be improved upon. Thank you!"

- Satisfied Customer"As my former manager, Hilary is an excellent leader in the marketing field. She knows how to initiate and complete a task from start to finish with great attention to detail. Her personality is warm, generous, and caring, and I would be happy to trust her with my house-hunting needs."
- Meredith Lundy"Lynn was always ready, willing and able to go the extra mile to make things come together and, amazingly, was able to do so with a smile. Lynn even went so far as to drive all the way across town on closing day to deliver a message to us. We feel very fortunate to have discovered Lynn!"
- Jeff and Amy Lesher, Buyers and Sellers"I was going through a very hard time in my life and Lynn's warmth and concern, as well as her expertise, were just what I needed! I chose her because she was personable, competent and aggressive. She really came through. Someone put her in my path; I couldn't have what I have now without her."
- Lois LaPlan, Buyer"Lynn returned phone calls promptly, was well-informed regarding the current real estate market, and anticipated situations and questions that could (and did) arise, and was prepared with answers and appropriate suggestions or alternatives. Lynn has excellent business judgment and I'm happy to recommend her without reservation."
- Victoria Kahn, Buyer and Seller"Lynn's guidance and continued hard work paid off, and we are extremely pleased with the house, the location and the price. We were ready to act, but Lynn was the only broker of the many we consulted who stayed on top of the situation - from the first inquiry until the contract was signed."
- Bill and Caroline Keens, Buyers"Throughout a difficult settlement, Lynn was supportive and was constantly calling in an attempt to keep our spirits up! Most importantly, she maintained a very good rapport with the seller's agent and our new lender which basically kept the deal alive. We will recommend Lynn to everyone that we know w who is interested in buying/selling a home."
- Mickey and James, Sellers and Buyers"I was a complete novice at selling. I had lived in that house for thirty-five years. Lynn made suggestions, and explained each step of the procedures so that I felt confident. She was truly tuned to my feelings. The house sold and Lynn was with me for the closing. Other agents from other companies also remarked about what a good agent I had; she is well liked in the business. I now consider Lynn Hoover not only a great agent, but also a friend."
- Dorothy Evans, Seller"As my buyer broker, Lynn protected my interests and respected my wishes at all times; qualities that are valued in any business transaction, and particularly appreciated by a fir4st-time buyer! At any opportunity, I will highly recommend Lynn as an extremely competent professional and a fabulous individual."
- Susan Burns, Buyer"Diana and I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed working with you on our home search. Your diligence, tenacity and knowledge of the local market were immensely valuable to us in our home search. Additionally, your ability to listen and understand our particular tastes enabled you to focus in on the specific types of home that we were looking for and ultimately land us our dream home."
- Diana and Chris Taylor"Outstanding. We met initially and then did the entire process long distance (from Korea!) via faxes, phones and powers of attorney. She made it work and was enthusiastic and supportive throughout, continuing to help even after closing with referrals and information on the area."
- Brenda Bernal and Jeffrey Leong"We could not have found a better agent. Lynn is one of the most hard working, diligent and considerate professionals I've encountered. She is a true asset to her trade!"

- Ronald & Erica Milner"After working with Mark over several hectic months in 2009 to coordinate both the sale of our old home and the purchase of a new home, we are pleased to endorse Mark Hudson without any reservations. After interviewing several other well-qualified realtors, we selected Mark because his skills and personal approach meshed perfectly with our goals, and our confidence was fully rewarded. With his trademark efficiency and calming influence, he guided us through all the steps of preparing our house for the market and landed us a contract in just 2 days. After that pleasant surprise, he stepped up to secure us a new home in the exact location we wanted. Throughout the process, Mark took every extra step possible to manage the often confusing conglomeration of paperwork associated with the sale, purchase, financing, settlement dates, and more. Even after the legal transactions were finalized, Mark also continued to provide support and negotiated on our behalf during an intense new home renovation project. We naturally miss our old home, but we've settled very nicely into the new one which fits all our needs. Mark Hudson deserves a lot of credit for making our hopes a reality."
- Erik Dohlman & Deepa Premnath"Mark - Just a small thank you for your work on selling Cable. It was fun to do business with a professional!! Let's do it again. Thanks."
- Gretchen"Dear Mark - Thank you very much for the beautiful flowers you sent last month. They were greatly appreciated - as was the terrific service you provided. Your thoughtfulness, caring and attention to details made what could have been a difficult process easier to deal with. I am extremely grateful for all you did in selling my parents' home and should I hear of any friends who may need your services, I shall highly recommend them to you. May you and your family enjoy a great summer."
- Paulette C."Dear Mark - Barbara and I want to let you know how much we appreciate your services in selling our home at 3504 Kent Street in Kensington. You brought us a contract in just four days. We attribute this to your attention to detail, accurate presentation, excellent marketing, and warm personality. Your listing pointed out the convenience of living in Kensington, and we appreciated your reviewing the listing with us before entering it into multiple listing. It provided us with an opportunity to comment and be fully aware of the listing, and as you know, your CirclePix virtual tour presentation on your web site brought the buyers to our house the very afternoon it was available for showing. The flowers you brought to the open house cheered up the house and gave it a warm feeling. Your follow through after we approved the contract was equally as good. Again you kept us informed all along the way and jogged things along so that the settlement went off without a hitch, and left us with a warm feeling about selling our home of nearly 50 years. Your coming over with a housewarming gift for our new apartment at Riderwood Village was also very thoughtful. We would not hesitate to recommend your services to potential clients and in fact have already done so. All the best to you and family."
- Bob and Barbara Ritzmann"Dear Mark - Eric and I wanted to express our sincerest thanks for providing such outstanding service in selling our home at 3401 Oberon Street in Kensington. We chose you as our realtor because we believed we would receive personalized, high-quality service. But at the time we did not realize just how attentive, genuine, and thorough you would be from start to finish. You spent considerable time ensuring that we understood your marketing methods and each aspect of the home selling process, including all of the paperwork. We were thrilled with the pictures and virtual tours of the house online. We were very happy to receive an offer on the house in just four days and credit much of that to your superior marketing abilities and understanding of the real estate market. Selling a house can be a very stressful time, but working with you was a very positive experience, and for that, we thank you. We would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone who is interested in working with a realtor of your caliber."
- Christine"Dear Mark - This thank you is so overdue! Thank you Mark for making my dream a reality! You worked so hard and went way and above your call of duty for us. I am so grateful for all of that! Not only were you (and still are) the best Realtor but such a great friend. You put up with my frantic calls and all my crazy thoughts through all of it. I so highly recommend you to all and to not use you one would be a fool! My mom thanks you and Bubbles will always have a special place for the strange man who rescued her. Your dinner our 1st night will always be remembered! It is not hard to see that you will one day be "the man" in Kensington!"
- Carole"We found Noel Kaupinen to be highly professional and knowledgeable on all accounts--working with her was truly a pleasure. Not only did we have a particular set of requirements that needed to be fulfilled while searching for a new home, but we also had an extremely specific timeline in which the sale of our old home, and purchase of our new home needed to be complete. Noel made all of this possible. She not only listed our home and sold it within eight days, but also found us our new home. She continually kept us informed of new homes that became available that matched our criteria, as well as the realities of the current market and how best to optimize our possibilities. As a person and a realtor, Noel is patient, calm, positive and certainly understanding. If you have the opportunity to work with Noel, she will help see that your future vision becomes a reality."
- Anna Binneweg & Igor Leschishin"From the beginning of our real estate search all of the way through the closing, Noel went above and beyond the call of duty in helping us find the perfect home. When my wife and I began our search, Noel educated us on market conditions, and gave us her opinion of the housing inventory available at the time. We appreciated Noel's honesty when she advised us to wait for more homes to come onto the market and not to settle for something that did not perfectly meet our needs. We felt that some other agents would have pushed us into an inadequate house to get a deal done quickly, but since Noel was aware of our flexible timing, she did not pressure us to settle for something less than perfect. When the ideal house came onto the market, Noel made us aware of it within minutes, and got us a showing as soon as we could get into town. After our walk-through, we knew that we had found the right house, and Noel advised us on the best way to approach the bidding process as the house had only been on the market for a few days. With Noel's guidance, we were in contract within 24 hours at a price that we found very fair. Once we went into contract, Noel handled logistics related to getting a home inspection, scheduling the appraisal, and all of the negotiations that ensued. She made herself available at all hours to answer questions and make sure we were comfortable with the process. She also recommended some very helpful and courteous people to use for contracting work, securing a mortgage, and arranging for insurance. Our closing went smoothly and we could not be happier with how everything transpired. We appreciated Noel's hard work, professionalism, honesty, and market expertise; and we certainly could not have done it without her. We would highly recommend Noel to anyone looking to buy a house in the Northern Virginia area."
- Mark and Pender Koontz"Thanks a million Miss Noel for an awesome job! If not for your hard work, we wouldn't be here in our lovely new home. You are a fantastic agent and as we have dubbed you, you are our agent for life! Of course we tell everyone that they should call you without a doubt - you are the best! No is not in your vocabulary. You're like a little terrier that won't let go and makes sure the job is done and done right! We so appreciate your incredible knowledge, your professionalism and your dedication to helping us sell our home and find our wonderful new home. But most of all, we appreciate your friendship. We love our new house and we love you! Thank you so much and can't wait for us to have our celebration for our new home soon..."
- Paulina and Audra"We used Noel as our Listing Agent and as our Buying Agent...and we're very lucky that we did. We researched the market for nearly two years before placing our home for sale. Noel recommended a listing price that was dead-on to market, however she was very patient with us as we tried "our" slightly higher price for the first few weeks. When we reduced to Noel's recommended price, an offer (that went to settlement) came in within hours of the reduction. On the day before settlement, our buyer lost their loan because of a process issue even though the buyer was financially sound. Noel carried the torch for the transaction by helping the buyer (who was represented by another agent) to secure another loan while she continued to push for a quick closing. The buyer went from having no loan to successfully closing with us in less than 10 days! Noel helped us to avoid disaster by creating and executing an on-the-spot contingency plan that saved the settlement with almost no delay. When it came time for us to buy, we mentioned to Noel that we toured a home that we liked several weeks prior but the home was taken off of the market. Noel pursued the inactive listing, found the agent and set up a time for us to visit. After we confirmed our suspicions that this was our new home, we sent an offer and went to settlement in less than 30 days. Throughout the entire process, Noel kept everyone on time (buyers, sellers, lenders, home inspectors, closing agents, etc.) regardless of who she was representing. She worked a lot of small miracles and a few big ones with a knack for sensing trouble ahead. I'd recommend Noel to anyone who is serious about buying or selling, or just looking. We will use her services again when the time comes. She knows the area and the market -- and where the problems are so they can be avoided. She's invaluable to buying or selling in this market or any other!"
- Steve L."Noel was great! The entire process from open houses to settlement took five weeks and could only have happened with Noel's help. She was on top of every aspect of our home buying process and always by our side. We felt like her only client. She even went as far to research the plants in our backyard to make sure none were harmful to our pets! That's going the extra mile and just one reason we loved our Realtor. Thanks Noel, we will definitely recommend you in the future."
- Brian and Hillary"Noel is our 'go-to' professional. She found us two perfect homes in the DC area under tight timelines that met all our requirements, saved us thousands of dollars, and increased our pride in being a part of great communities. She is a talented and tireless worker who treats clients as family--we would never think of buying or selling a home without her."
- John & Nan, Alexandria, VA"When a new job in another city made relocation the best choice for our family, we knew right away who we would use for our Realtor. Noel Kaupinen helped us find our home, and we knew she would be the best person to help us with our sale. She met with us and discussed our options, and helped us set our price in a difficult market. Getting a ratified contract just five weeks after putting the house on the market, and this with continuous traffic through the house, helped us know we were well priced. Noel gave us encouragement and assistance at each phase of the sale, hosting open houses, creating great brochures, mailing cards to the neighborhood, and generally working hard on our behalf. She even bought us a house warming gift for our new home in the new city! We would highly recommend our friend, Noel Kaupinen, to anyone getting ready to sell or purchase a home."
- Jeanne D."Noel was the consummate professional. She worked with our family closely throughout the sale of an old family property that had been in the family for several generations. The challenges were significant, but Noel's advice, guidance and tenacity were invaluable. From initial property preparation through to closing, her actions earned our full trust and confidence. I would definitely recommend her to friends and family. Noel earned our trust and confidence through her professionalism, tenacity and focus on the project. She is a team builder who cared for her clients as well as the property being sold. Coaching, guiding and working tirelessly, she made the process educational and as smooth as possible. Noel's knowledge of the real estate market in Northern Virginia combined with her personality and drive ensured success . The property was different by modern standards, but Noel saw the potential and made her commitment to us to sell the house. Noel was good to her word and brought us along - teaching, guiding and encouraging along the way. I would gladly recommend her to my family, friends and anyone who is looking for a project partner, not 'just' a real estate agent. She made a difference and we were very glad she was working with us. Semper Fi,"
- Jim W."I have had the pleasure of working with Betty on three successful occassions - she has found me two houses and one buyer. I can unequivocally say that she is a great realtor! No one knows Alexandria better and her network of contacts is amazing. Her patience and persistence really pay off, and best of all, she is simply a delight to work with. Her friendly and happy personality makes the stressful process of buying and selling a house actually enjoyable!! I wouldn't use anyone else!"
- Larry Flick - Alexandria City"Robin and I can't thank you enough for all your professionalism, support and expertise you provided at every turn. Things couldn't have been more smooth."
- Kirsten - Alexandria City"So, what I'm saying is, we're settling in to the business of home ownership. We love our home and are very grateful to you for helping us hold out for something that we could fall in love with. So, GOOD JOB! We would recommend you to anyone, anytime, that comes our way."
- Kristina & Daniya - Alexandria City"You clearly are a professional who gets results! You made selling the house a pleasure. I look forward to working with you again."
- Phyllis Preston, Alexandria, Virginia"We are extremely satisfied with the service we received from Bob. Bob was very professional and had a great ability to listen. He was able to identify our dream house quickly."
- Mark & Suzanne Radzik, Arlington, Virginia"We have utilized Bob as a Realtor on four separate transactions. We couldn't be more please with his service and expertise."
- John & Karen Robertson, McLean, Virginia"One expects a Realtor to be profession, which Bob is, but he went far beyond that in attending to our many whims."
- Frank & Eula Landymore, Alexandria, Virginia"During the negotiations for the sale of our home, Bob was persistent in guaranteeing that our interests were protected. We feel that we got the best, fairest prices for our home."
- George & Roberta Santoro, Centreville, Virginia"Ann stuck by me through a difficult transaction with a slow condo association. She was patient and hard working. If Ann is representative of McEnearney as a whole, I don't know why anyone would go with another agency."
- Alex Griffith (Buyer - VA)"[The transaction was] Notably good - Ann's skills at marketing our house, and the good advice she gave us on sales and purchase prices, and her negotiation skills were good. Fantastic service, can't say enough."
- From Gail and Peter Viechnicki (Sellers - MD)"Ann is very thorough and prepares beautiful marketing materials. She responds to her calls and emails promptly and prepares buyers/sellers well in advance. She had a near impossible turnaround time on the sell and never seemed to break a sweat-this was reassuring to us."
- David & Sandra Hill (Sellers - VA)"Richard was very warm and professional and kept me informed of developments every step of the way. He even took it a step further by including a personal letter with my offer to give the seller insight into me and my family. Very nice touch! I would use Richard again."
- Erika Davis, Alexandria"Working with Richard McGuire on the purchase of our new house in Alexandria was a pleasure. He has in-dept knowledge of the local market and listens to buyer to gain a good understanding of your house desires and needs. He was very helpful in facilitating negotiations with the seller toward a quick closing. We are very happy in our new home and are grateful to Richard for all of his assistance. Happy New Year!"
- Matt and Rebecca,Alexandria"Buying an old house that needs remodeling is scary. Ann did not gloss over the work it would take but she cheered us on as we decided to do it."
- Rex and Ray Stephens"We need more space due to a new baby. Ann not only been helpful to find the house she has been helpful with the baby and is very empathic to moving with an infant."
- Mike and Mary McCracken"We found working with Ann to be a great experience. She is thoughtful, energetic, and fun! We laughed about lots of things. She made the very stressful experience of selling our house and buying a new one as pleasant as possible and even showed up with lunch on moving day."
- Mary and Bill Stone"Committed, engaging, excellent follow-through and above all, patient! She sold the condo to me in '94; I had no hesitation in returning to her."
"Knew area, home market, and other realtors. Offered good advice on preparing house for sale and negotiating with buyers."
"One of the most professional and pleasant individuals I have ever dealt with in any business relationship. Barbara handled our sale and contract while we were out of the country and, as always, it was done exceptionally well."
"Barbara is a professional realtor, most gracious, charming, knowledgeable, and makes you feel the most important person. She exudes confidence, and would work with you on your needs. Barbara was there every step of the way."
"Barbara is an extremely hard worker. She was very responsive and went out of her way to accommodate our needs. Barbara's straightforward communication style was such a blessing given the complications of conducting business cross-country. She coordinated the settlement very well."
"[Barbara was] very patient and went out of her way to find the best house for us. The whole business was conducted in a very good and professional manner."
"The most fabulous, professional, understanding, always there for you night and day person. McEnearney Associates are very lucky."
"Diligent, responsive, incredible work ethic, and pleasant, unflappable personality. A real credit to McEnearney. Barbara worked as hard and as long as necessary to help us negotiate the purchase and close."
"She continues to bend over backwards. Appreciated efforts made to ensure sale of the house in spite of [several] issues."
"My wife and I used Julie Pearson as our realtor for finding and buying our first home. She was excellent through the entire process. Through the home search, she was tireless in finding and arranging visits to houses spread throughout Northern Virginia. She was very flexible and was able to adapt to our schedule. Julie has a way of understanding what her clients are looking for in a home and then finding it for them, rather than pushing the latest trends. The same energy and responsiveness we saw in the search was evident through the offer and closing. She worked a late evening to finish negotiations and place the contract. She arranged for home and termite inspections. She provided a schedule for all of the contingencies in the contract to ensure everything was completed smoothly. She even jumped in to help resolve issues between the mortgage bank and title company. Through the home buying process, it felt as if we were Julie's only clients. Whenever we had a question or issue, she was there to provide her expertise and experience. Everything Julie was responsible for was completed without hassle. The challenges in buying a home always involved another organization, and Julie often jumped into those issues and resolved them. She is highly recommended"
- Richard Uhlman"We utilized Julie for the purchase of our first home, and we were fairly "hands on" throughout. Julie encouraged our approach and kept us informed with expert advice and guidance through the entire process. We feel her participation was most helpful and greatly appreciated."
- Natalie Guthrie"Julie was an excellent real estate agent to work with. She made the whole process very low-stress for me. Once she knew the type of property I was looking for, she did a great job finding places I would be interested in."
- Clare Atzert"Julie helped me buy my first home and then sell it four years later. Despite the tough market, we positioned the house well and were able to make some minor changes that got it sold. Julie gives a high level of service and is always available to help her clients."
- Lorin Mueller"During the extreme sellers market that was unfolding in Early Spring 2004, Julie helped us find our home. There were many bidders on our home in its less than 48 hours on the market, but Julie's personable communication with the selling agent is what ultimately helped us get our home (and we had even been out bid!)."
- D.H."My wife and I would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks and appreciation for the fantastic job done by Mary Roberge in the listing, sale and settlement of our home and the subsequent purchase of a new home. In all phases of this transaction Mary was there to make sure everything went as planned and no unforeseen obstacles popped up at the last minute. Not only did she accomplish the listing and sale of our home in a matter of days but she also worked with us to ensure that we would find that special new home. Based on the amount of time she spent with us it seemed as though we were her only clients at the time. We were extremely impressed with her extensive real estate background and knowledge in all aspects of our dealings with her. It was quite evident that she possessed the knowledge and skills to ensure that each phase of the entire process happened as it should. She was able to answer any and all questions we had and more importantly to set our minds at ease as we went through this process. We would be more than happy to use or refer Mary in any real estate transaction we might again go through in the future."
- Everett Rowenhorst, Leesburg, VA"I wanted to tell you how pleased we were with our home Sale, and listing with you . . . . You were completely professional and responsive at every turn. We could not have asked for a better experience. With our unique property you knew just what was needed to get our house sold. We would definitely use your services again."
- Rena and Ned Miller, Leesburg, VA"Mary Roberge represented us in the purchase of our new home. Home buying is said to be one of the top ten most stressful events in someone's life. Mary has made things so smooth for us. It has been a stress-free experience. She has taken care of every detail including things we hadn't even thought of yet. Mary is very up-to-date and innovative when in comes to technology. We were buying this home from outside the state of Virginia and she has made us feel like we are right there. We never had to go out of our way to accomplish anything. All communications such as emails and faxes were right on time and always legible. When Mary says she is getting something done, we do not have to worry because it is already taken care of. We can always get in touch with her quickly and she is always ready with the right answer. I'm also amazed at the legal knowledge Mary possesses. She does more than just pull up a contract and start signing it. She knows the ins and outs of how real estate business is conducted and that provided us a very secure feeling. We knew we were in good hands with such an important purchase. We have bought and sold multiple homes before meeting Mary, and I can say that I wish we had met her long ago. I will use her again in the future and would recommend her to all of my family and friends."
- Jeff and Danielle Rice, Ashburn, VA"Mary handled all aspects of the process of selling in such a way that most of the tedious details were transparent to my wife and I. Mary's initial activities in providing a market analysis in a very volatile market environment were critical in us to deciding that she was the best candidate to represent us in the sale of our house. From the point of listing the house to the closing, Mary was proactive in anticipating any possible problems and taking actions to handle them. Mary's detailed knowledge of real estate law and processes made the sale of our most valuable asset a worry free transaction. Above and beyond the business expertise that Mary demonstrated is her most valuable asset - her interpersonal skills. Mary is a warm and caring individual and it shows in the care and attention that she provides to her clients. Mary clearly views the relationship aspect with her clients as paramount to her success. In the whole process of selling our home we felt that she went above and beyond the call of duty to keep us informed and reassured that everything was progressing according to plan. I commend your franchise for having a professional like Mary to represent your business. My wife and I would certainly use Mary Roberge to represent us to sell or buy real estate."
- Kevin O'Grady in Leesburg, Virginia"Jen Walker is fantastic. Full stop. When my family and I were looking to buy a bigger house in our Del Ray neighborhood last year, we immediately looked to Jen Walker for help. We needed to sell our house for top-dollar and secure a new, larger home under (fairly tight) budgetary considerations. Jen did not disappoint us. She priced our home aggressively and sold it in less than three weeks! During that time, she held several open houses and gave us a ton of one-on-one special attention. She was part-Realtor, part-counselor, part-friend: she gave us great advice on a temporary rental, held our hands through our first time as sellers and gave us good, solid, objective advice as we headed towards closing. As we looked to purchase a larger home in the neighborhood, Jen helped us identify a great deal on a home that had been sitting on the market for awhile. Her understanding of the local real estate market helped us secure the house at significantly below the asking price-- and her unparalleled knowledge of Del Ray gave us the inside scoop on planned development immediately around our new home that made us confident in our ability to grow our new home's value. Jen even took the time to introduce is to some of our new neighbors! Jen is reliable, knowledgeable, tenacious and well-connected. In short, whether you are buying or selling a home, she is the best possible advocate you can have on your side. Jen is THE authority on Del Ray but she is also extremely knowledgeable about other neighborhoods as well. Bottom line: she knows how to make the real estate market work for you. The icing on the cake? Jen is a ton of fun to be around, making a traditionally nerve-wracking time a whole lot easier to bear. You cannot go wrong with Jen Walker."
- Kristen G. as Reported to Yelp"A Sold Story..... After three years in the neighborhood, on August 30th, my family packed up and moved from Del Ray to Charlotte, NC. After our house sat on the market for nearly 70 days, empty and without so much as an offer, we decided to switch our realtor to Jen Walker with McEnearney Associates (http://www.jenwalker.com/). Jen had been recommended to us by numerous Del Ray neighbors and after only 3 weeks she lived up to her reputation and we were able to sign a contract! Once Jen became our realtor, she made some very simple updates to the house and managed to bring in close to 70 visitors between two open houses. Her marketing efforts were amazing as we watched our house go from unnoticed to the hottest thing around! As someone who has her finger on the pulse of Del Ray, we found her insight to be key to selling our house and quickly! Our only regret is that we did not go with Jen from the very beginning when we first listed on August 30th. Given the current state of the housing market and the direction it is likely to go in the near future, if you plan to sell your house, please email me (jodieggoff@gmail.com) and let me tell you about Jen and how wonderful our experience was with her. Don't make the same mistake I did and go with the realtor you've always used "just because." Jen fought for us and our house and we are so happy with her service. A very satisfied client,"
- Jodie Goff, Hume Avenue"We already thought you were a great realtor and were recommending you to all our friends, but after the gift cards and delicious goodies from Omaha, we think we might have to take out a full page ad for you in the Washington Post. Seriously, we are so grateful to you for helping us find and buy our home. You were responsive, attentive, knowledgeable, and so willing to go to bat for us in the process, not to mention fun and comfortable. Thanks again for everything and we'll surely have you over for a barbeque soon."
- Carlos, Caroline & Mac"You certainly lived up to your promise to help me sell my house. No one could have been more helpful or nicer."
- Phyllis Taylor"What we liked most about Jennifer Walker was her incredible patience and support. I don't mind saying that buying a new house with a one year old is a stressful experience. There were so many factors that made the process seem overwhelming in addition to house hunting with a child. We desperately needed more space, didn't know what we could afford and couldn't make up our minds about where we wanted to live. None of this ruffled Jennifer. She stuck with us for six months as we looked non-stop with our son in tow and helped us find and fall in love with our current home, the house of our dreams. In the meantime, we had to turn around and sell our house. With the volatility of the housing market, we were extremely nervous about competing in the market and getting the best price for our home. Fortunately, we had an expert to guide us through the process. Jennifer not only brings years of experience to the table but a host of services and support that guarantee your home to sell quickly. From decorator, Lillian Siegel, to Jennifer's cheerful assistant, Lauren Smith, the sale of our Del Ray home was the easiest part of our move. If you are in the market to buy or sell your home you should look no further than Jennifer Walker. She will truly exceed your expectations!"
- Mary Beth, Bill, and Carter"What establishes Jennifer's suggestions, advice and recommendations as the gold standard is that she has formed personal relationships with everyone she works with in Alexandria and speaks out of this direct connection to community figures. . . . Aside from the innumerable acts of commitment to us as an agent without borders on her service, I believe her greatest gift to us was her guidance in how much"house" we could afford. With gentleness and grace, she listened to what we wanted and dreamed of in a home, and then walked us through the financial forest toward that dream within our budget. As a result of her deft shepherding in both real estate and financial planning, we find ourselves at the end of our first year with all the space we could want, all the house we could have possibly afforded, and all the peace and satisfaction that comes with the ability to grow physically and financially as a family in any direction we can imagine."
- Trisha Lyons, Enthusiastic First-Time Home Buyer"No longer neighbors, but always friends . . .Thank you very much for your great effort in selling our house. We feel very fortunate that we met you. You were our good neighbor and helper. Thank you for the food you send us while I was incapacitated and couldn't cook. Rudy did very well as a house keeper and cook, too. I hope you continue your good work and that life in Del Ray continues to be as peaceful as we know it. Good luck and may you always be blessed."
- Love, Galina & Rudy ~ Outstanding Home Buying Experience"Outstanding Home Buying Experience . . . I had previously purchased a house about five years ago and have worked with many agents, but none as professional, efficient, and customer-service oriented as Jennifer. She was able to quickly determine the type of listings I was interested in and send me daily updates - keeping me well informed and on top of this fast moving real estate market - an invaluable service I found critical in helping me find the right house. Jennifer provides incomparable service, above and beyond my expectations and experience with other agents. It was such an easy, smooth and hassle-free experience - terms not often used when describing the process of purchasing a home!"
- Anonymous"Dear Jen, . . . Just wanted to drop a little thank you - it's been almost one year since buying and it's been a GREAT year! I love my little condo. No buyer's remorse! Thank you thank you for being such a wonderful "realty therapist"...and for all your help!"
- Best, R. K."Over the past five years, Jennifer Walker has served as both our buying and our listing agent several times. When we bought our first house, Jennifer was our buying agent. When we decided to sell that house and get a larger house, she was our listing agent. She then served as our buying agent for our current house. Jennifer is the best real estate agent in this area, hands-down. She is a top-notch professional who is well-liked and well-respected by her peers. She puts enormous effort into making sure that her clients get the best deal possible, whether as buyers or sellers. She knows this market very well and does her homework thoroughly to stay on top of current trends. To top it off, she is also very friendly with a great sense of humor. There is only one real estate agent we recommend to friends who are thinking of buying or selling in the greater Northern Virginia area--and that is Jennifer Walker."
- Mary Huber and Michael Wilker, Buyers and Sellers"Catalina represented us when we sold our old house and when we bought our new house. When we were in the process of selling our house, Catalina gave us excellent advice on how to show our house in its best light, including but not limited to new paint colors, and more attractive ways to rearrange the furniture. She also supplemented our furniture and decorations with her own items. I am certain that we would have had to sell our house at a lower price if we did not have the benefit of Catalina's expertise. When we were looking for a new house, Catalina was very helpful. She understood the kind of house that we were looking for, and she found several houses that included the features that we wanted. Moreover, she did not waste time showing us houses that clearly did not fit our needs. With Catalina's help, our house-buying experience was much more fun and much less intimidating and stressful than it would have been otherwise."
- Steve Spaeth and Laurie Stewart, Silver Spring, MD"There are two main reasons that I have recommended Catalina to all of my friends: The level of service we received from her as our realtor when we sold our house last fall, and her truly genius design skills. Everybody has a horror story about buying or selling a house, and we had our share of bumps in the road??but through every one Catalina held our hands like a therapist, a coach, and an all-around guru. Through the most stressful parts of the whole process, Catalina was available to us as often as we needed, with a cheerful and pragmatic attitude that always soothed our nerves. We put a lot of work into the house before it went on the market, and Catalina was indispensable in that process. She assessed what needed to be done, advised us on how to get the most bang for our buck, and even got us contractors who could do the work in our tight turn-around time. She was at our house for every estimate and communicated with contractors when I was too stressed out to deal with it. If I didn??t like the estimate, she got another one for us right away. We benefited from her many contacts in the building trades and got great prices and good quality. I can??t overstate what amazing service we got from Catalina! She made us feel like we were her only clients, and she spent a tremendous amount of time on us, from the pre-selling stage all the way through the final walk through. Catalina was truly magical when it came to showing the house; we couldn??t believe how great our own house looked! It was a total transformation, and everyone who saw it was ??wowed.?? Some of my friends were talking about hiring her to make over their own houses, even though they weren??t selling! Catalina brought in a variety of ??props,?? from area rugs to framed pictures to throw pillows, but she also just has a knack for making what you already have look better ?? tweaking the furniture arrangement, adding decorative accents, decluttering. I had tried to do some of that myself, of course, but when Catalina came in with her artist??s sensibility and her magic touch, the end result blew me away! It was very fun to see the before and after, but even more fun to see the effect on buyers. In the midst of the first real housing market ??slump?? in years, we had multiple offers within a week and got well over our asking price ?? all while similar houses in the area languished on the market. Catalina really ??got?? the Takoma Park market and new what people were looking for. We were very lucky to be represented by her, and I wholeheartedly recommend her!"
- Marjory Ruderman, Charlottesville, VA"Catalina: Thank you for your very professional service in the quick sale of our home. Everything was accomplished expeditiously, which was good for all of us. And we admire your friendly, at ease personality! Again, thank you for all your help and kindness."
- Janice Hunt , Washington, D.C."Hope did an absolutely fantastic job! I have used fine realtors in the past, but Hope is the best: She demonstrated a high level of professionalism, ethics, customer service and salesmanship. Hope skillfully priced & marketed the property, advised us well in the contract phase & solved problems when they arose."
- Vienna, VA"Years ago, Hope helped us look for a rental house. We remembered how helpful she was and called her when we were needed the services of a professional Realtor for a purchase. If it weren't for Hope's dedication to helping us, we would never have been able to purchase this home. She rearranged her schedule to show us the house and helped us to put together the best offer possible within our means. Everything about Hope's service was exceptional!"
- Fairfax, VA"We enjoyed working with Hope (this is the second house she has helped us buy) and she also helped us to understand the selling side! (she met with us over a year ago to offer suggestions on what to improve to get the best price for or house.) No hidden surprises, Hope explained everything to us very thoroughly."
- Vienna, VA"Very professional! Knows what needs doing and does it! Advertised the house extremely well. Keeps her cool in trying circumstances. Gets the job done!"
- McLean, VA"Hope and her assistant made our house search so much easier. Very helpful throughout the whole process including providing referrals for other vendors. As first time homebuyers, we couldn't have asked for a better agent! Excellent customer service!"
- Falls Church, VA"As a first time buyer and eventual seller of the property after a period of renting it, Hope was patient and informative. Her knowledge of the real estate market allowed me to make a profitable decision at the right time. Hope's advice about power of attorney saved me the expense of traveling from Indiana to Virginia for the settlement."
- Alexandria, VA"I have to tell you about the great service we got recently from one of your agents, Hope Skilling. Talk about service above and beyond the call of duty! She was not only diligent and competent, but she was a pleasant person to work with in every way. If Ms. Skilling is representative of your firm, I expect to hear big things about McEnearney Associates in the years ahead. You will have my repeat business and I am telling all my friends."
- McLean, Virginia"This letter is to let you know how pleased we were with you as our buyer's agent. You certainly made buying our first home a pleasurable experience.

We both consider you a close ally and a reliable friend. We will certainly contact you in the future for any real estate needs and would recommend you highly to our friends and associates."
- Arlington, Virginia"Hope is very knowledgeable of the market and trends, has a professional demeanor and appearance, is hard working, offered sound advice and followed through. She listened to our objectives, then applied her expertise. Great tips on preparing for the sale!"
- Arlington, Virginia"We met Hope about 8 years ago while looking for a house for my sister and called her when we unexpectedly found a home we wanted to buy. She represented us for the purchase and then helped us sell our home quickly. She always has the clients' best interest as top priority, works hard and with integrity."
- Arlington, Virginia"I would like to thank you for your recent outstanding performance in selling my house at 1549 Dunterry Place, McLean.

- McLean, Virginia"Just a note to thank you for helping my daughter find her town home. At long last she has a place that meets her specifications. As you know it's just the place she wanted. With the market as crazy as it is now, your real estate expertise was critically needed. It was your contacts, knowledge, negotiating powers and speedy action that made it happen."
- Bethesda, Maryland"I really want to thank you for getting me my house. As a Realtor you really know your stuff, you did such a great job representing me. You made buying my first home almost effortless. People make it sound as if it were some big ordeal, maybe because you weren't their agent!"
- Alexandria, Virginia"Excellent! (Betty) did a wonderful job guiding me through my first home purchase!"
- John. S."Cheerfully professional. Great on details and explaining the sales process. A very positive experience all the way through."
- Patricia W."I cannot begin to describe how pleased we are with the level of service provided us by Betty. Our transactions (buying + selling) were particularly complicated and Betty guided us through them with a superior attitude & unmatched abilities. She became our friend. She always went the extra mile for us-getting multiple bids, & is a valuable resource for us. She even brought us by subs on our move day. I would recommend her whole heartedly, without reservation. McEnearney is lucky to have Betty representing them because she is of stellar+sterling character. We will tell all our friends and family to use Betty Thompson! We certainly couldn't have made it through this process without her. I hope she is rewarded (by McEnearney) for her excellence."
- James & Alexis F."Betty was an outstanding agent-and she found us the perfect house. We will recommend her to all our friends!"
- Warwick & Kathleen W."Betty exceeded all our expectations.

He was personable and easy to work with on the selling of our home and purchase. Richard found our new place while we were in California and inspected it for us. He sent pictures that allowed us to put in a winning bid, all while out of state. We would recommend Richard to others with out reservation."
- Bob and Joann, Marlboro Estates"I highly recommend you reach out to Betty Mallon of McEnearney Associates.

- Steve - Beverly Hills"You made the entire process from open house to closing a relatively painless experience and we thank you for your help! We would absolutely recommend your services to anyone searching for a house in the Alexandria area!"
"You were available to help coordinate work on my home to prepare it for sale after I had moved away from the area to start my new job. Once the house was ready for sale, you sold it quickly and achieved a premium price, far exceeding my expectations. You were great to work with and I would work with you again in heartbeat!"
"This letter is long overdue but the thoughts are felt as strongly today as they were a few months ago. We want to thank you for the truly outstanding job you did in selling our home. Every step in the process was well thought out and thorough. You explained everything to us in terms that were most understandable and therefore there were never any surprises along the way!"

"We have selected you as our agent for every house that we have bought or sold. You have become not only a trusted agent but also a valued friend. We knew you would continue to do an outstanding job in representing us in both the buying and selling transactions. We would recommend you to anyone."
"You did several things which led to the sale of our home in just a matter of days. You helped us make some small changes to our dcor including the loan of accessories from your own home. You prepared a beautiful and informative brochure which emphasized the obvious, as well as the not so obvious attributes of our home. You hosted a broker luncheon for more than 60 agents which got the word out quickly. But most importantly, you helped us set a realistic sales price based on your experience and up to date knowledge of the local market conditions."
"Once our home was sold, you were able to work easily with our company relocation service as well as the buyers' broker. You helped us with all of the deadlines and paperwork and kept us informed throughout the process."
"Thank you for holding our hands and making the sale of our home so painless. Without hesitation I would recommend your services to any prospective seller in Alexandria."
"From the moment we met her after stopping in at an open house she was holding, Pat was receptive to our needs without the all too common "sales mentality" that we have encountered in other realtors. Our needs always came first,... She became a trusted ally in the process,... It is rare to receive service the equal of Pat's these days, and such dedication warrants special recognition. You can be assured that we will enthusiastically refer our friends to Pat for years to come."
"Thank you for the quality service during our recent home purchase."
- D & T"Nick did a terrific job of marketing our house in Arlington. We got $50,000 more than I thought the house would fetch, which was a wonderful surprise for us. Nick has a number of valuable tools available to help with marketing including staging, which I think made all the difference in our case."
- Ron"Sheila and I were thrilled with Nick's professionalism, along with the good staging advice he offered. After our home have been on the market for six months with another Realtor, we have no takers. Nick had a buyer for our Arlington home in just about a month after listing our house. His marketing strategy paid off - rapidly, even in today's sluggish market. We are delighted that we went with Nick Kuhn."
- Gene and Sheila Betit"Nick has bought and sold for me in NOVA 6 times over 25 years and knows the geography and market you're interested in."
- John D."We asked Chris to help us sell our house and we're so glad we did. When she recommended what to do to get the house ready, WE DID IT! When she analyzed the neighborhood sales and suggested a price, WE LISTENED! Chris knows the market and she knows marketing. Now we have experienced first hand why she is known as the neighborhood expert. She is warm and wonderful AND she means business. We couldn't be happier and we know you will be, too. Neighbor to Neighbor- if you are thinking of selling, think no more- call Chris!"
- RC"Chris was tenacious in looking for potential buyers. She also worked tirelessly to get the house in perfect selling condition."
- KW"We can't thank you enough for all your help in making our move such a smooth one. We feel so lucky to have found an awesome realtor and a new friend"
- L & R"I will tell you I have bought and sold many homes in my last twenty years, and I have worked with a number of real estate agents. But never have I encountered the level of professionalism and competence that I found with Chris. She managed to be extremely organized and thorough while still maintaining a calm demeanor and easy laugh. I readily admit that I wanted to work with her because she was obviously so adept at selling houses, but I had not anticipated how enjoyable and easy she would make the process. She told me the changes that would make my home the most appealing to prospective buyers, and I followed all her suggestions. But I was trying to work full time, pack, and move, so I just left all of the details to Chris. I was able to do what I needed to do, and I never had to wonder how things were progressing with the sale. She had a plan for marketing the house that was carefully thought out. Chris is someone who should be truly recognized and acknowledged."
- GS"We have been provided with very professional services and excellent advice in various areas by Chris since we officially requested her to take care of our property. Without her professional coordination with a painter, carpet company, suppliers of home appliances and others, I believe we would not have seen the property close so quickly and for the highest price attained. Our knowing Chris in this transaction leaves us with very good fortune and memories."
- KS"WE ARE THRILLED - and so grateful to Chris. She had helped us buy and, of course, we asked her to help us sell. With Chris, preparation and pricing go hand in hand. As she always says, "condition and price rule the day". Guided by our trusted realtor/advisor, we did some touch up painting, edited some furnishings and had the windows washed. Chris did a beautiful job of staging. More importantly, she did a masterful job analyzing sales and market activity to guide us on pricing. We were introduced to the market with her customary MEGA WEEKEND MARKETING BLITZ. But it didn't stop there. Chris focused on follow-up and pursued every lead. She personally hosted Open Houses and tracked our prospects. In the end, we're sure it was her knowledge of the market, and of people, that made the difference. CHRIS IS DEDICATED TO HER CLIENTS AND DETERMINED TO GET RESULTS. We've benefited from her experience as buyers and as sellers. We encourage you to call Chris when it's your time to make a move."
- AMW"We want to say THANK YOU! Again for all of your help in our house hunt and for making it easy!"
- B & D"I'm not normally one to make recommendations so much, but what a terrific job you did.... Wow!! You have been both the consummate professional and a genuinely really nice person to boot and would not hesitate to recommend you to others in the building. So I hope/anticipate seeing you again here soon especially as we approach spring. ~ Warm Regards."
- Peter Barnet, CMCA, Building Manager, Charleston Condominium"I am writing this testimony for the benefit of Suellen West, a true real estate professional which understates and mischaracterizes her true capability. I had the pleasure of meeting Suellen as one of her clients, a seller, in possibly one of the worst real estate markets in decades. I will tell you that Suellen, single handedly except for her corps of reliable contractors (including the unique ability to, on very short notice, to "stage" a property for presentation) sold my Arlington condo in 9 days at 99.1% of the list price and with no concessions/subsidies. Sueellen designed a near total refurbishment and redesign of my condo, selecting materials, appliances, paint scheme and negotiating with vendors. She did this with full knowledge of the market place and the related preferences of the buyers in the market- thus crafted the ambiance of the unit from start to finish. Suellen, who is ferociously dedicated and through, on countless instances picked up materials, paints as well as light fixtures herself. She did this with full knowledge of the market place and the related preferences of the buyers in the market- thus crafted the ambiance of the unit from start to finish. The aforementioned attributes produced a closed sale price that was an increase on a per square foot basis of near 5% over the price of the most recent comparable sale in the same building that had occurred the previous month despite my unit being about 15 square feet smaller- and the general market place enduring price declines of 20% or more. This feast was truly a gift from God to observe as Suellen managed this transaction and communicated with me as if I was her only client.. I truly feel that these traits are only a few of the many gifts she posses which perpetually benefit her clients. The process took about 60 days from the date of the listing agreement to the date of a ratified contract being signed. The short time span was truly miraculous given that, during 2008, units in Arlington were on the market for an average of between 40-60 days and longer. Suellen was always on time, again, emblematic of a true professional. However, that attribute is overshadowed by her sense of calm and taking control in situations that unexpectedly "meander" contrary to plan. Also, I will truly always admire Suellen's class, elegance and dignity she displays when she's immersed in a transaction. She's all business but done so with such class, and when she's showing a unit and she's in her 'groove' you can 'take that to the bank'."
- Mark Rossetti"We can't thank you enough for everything you did on our home sale. It was the easiest real estate transaction we have ever done. We know there was a lot of work done behind the scenes on your end, but you made it seem so easy. Your professionalism and attention to detail is unmatched."
- T & J"Thank you for your help and guidance in finding and purchasing our new place. We truly enjoyed working with you and through your contacts, the process was amazingly smooth. Thank you again for everything."
- S & M"A Broker/Owner representing a Purchaser on one of Mary's listings: " . . . . It was a pleasure working with you. I think you did a great job of representing (x) while working towards a transaction that was viable (at one point I thought we were dead). I especially enjoyed sparring with you on market values - you have got to be at least the second best agent (jokingly said!) in Northern Virginia when it comes to property valuation (our discussions - back and forth - were way above comprehension by 98% of all agents). . . . Your 13 page letter was over the top - we all actually read it - you should write a book . . . hope to see you again soon at another table . . . . ""
- A Broker/Owner representing the Purchaser of Mary's Listing, Purcellville, VA"Thanks Mary for all of your great support. I have bought and sold 26 properties and this one has been the most frustrating. You and (ass't) have made this ordeal much easier. . . . You did in 4 months what three previous realtors could not do in 2 years. You did it in a softer market environment also. I just want to make sure I gave you the acknowledgment you deserve. You have done a great job and your personality and attitude is a perfect fit for this job."
- Stewart Bernard, Leesburg, VA"I just wanted to thank you for your engagement, responsiveness, candor, and support through this process . . . I was looking for a highly engaged and responsive level of service, and you . . . delivered."

- Todd and Beth / Buyer and Seller"Our experience with Eric Kutch was the best we've had with any Realtor, and that's no exaggeration. He was very knowledgeable, always responsive, and even made the process fun. Eric was enthusiastic about real estate and genuinely cared about helping us meet our needs. What more can you ask for?"
- Joannie and Mike / Buyer and Seller"Thank you for your great work and being a friend throughout the whole process! I am lucky to have stumbled upon both you AND my new townhouse!"

- Polly / Buyer and Seller"Brian and I would like to thank you for the honest advice, guidance and support you have provided us through each phase of the search for and purchase of our new house in Virginia. Searching for and purchasing a house ... being 2,000 miles away, certainly presented unique challenges: I had been touch with 4 real estate agents before "accidentally" finding you.... I am very grateful to Kelly and Ryan for recommending you!!!"
- Brian and Daniela / Buyer"My husband and I worked with Eric when we sold our townhouse and bought our single-family home in Arlington last year. Eric has a tremendous amount of experience, so he's "seen it all" and can advise you on the best course of action no matter what situation you may face. He's also an amazing advocate who you can trust to act in your best interests. His energy and dedication to his work is an indication of how much he enjoys it, which makes the whole home-buying/home-selling process a better experience for everyone involved. Eric sold our townhouse in less than a week in a 'down' market. We can't recommend him highly enough!"
- Lilyanna & Eric / Buyer and Seller"From the first conversation with Eric, we realized we had a first class agent who had extensive experience in the Northern Virginia / DC area. Initially, we felt our budget would not allow us to find a place in the location we wanted, but Eric convinced us otherwise and followed through on his promise by finding us a house in our ideal location. During the process, he not only found and showed us houses in our budget, but taught us the market in order for us to make an informed decision on the style, price, and location. Furthermore, his no pressure approach, his willingness to work around our busy schedule, and his determination to get us the best deal made for a great house buying experience with Eric."

"Betsy was very helpful and adjusted her approach to our needs. She was very responsive."
- C.A. Vienna, VA"I bought my first home with Betty late 2010. Being my first, I had no experience in the process, but luckily Betty took the time to help me understand every aspect. From the "home hunt" to the closing, I not only felt secure with Betty, but I enjoyed the journey. When the time comes I will use Betty again. As a lifelong resident of Northern Virginia, I recommend her superior service to anyone looking for their first home! Her professionalism and knowledge of the area can't be beat."
- Nolan - Del Ray"We want you to know how grateful we were for your ability to listen to our wants and needs, to help us pinpoint the "must have's" in a home, and to find the property that met all of our criteria. Additionally, we were very impressed with your negotiation skills and your ability to get us such a great price on this beautiful home. Your knowledge of our contract, and your ability to recall the details of that contract even months after ratification never ceased to amaze me. It was always so wonderful to be able to call you with a question I had about the contract and to have you give me an answer immediately! Your knowledge of contract law and experience in the legal field was a comfort....We had such a wonderful experience working with you - we would definitely recommend you to anyone interested in buying or selling real estate in Northern Virginia (or Maryland, for that matter)! Thank you, again, for finding our dream home for us."
- Suzanne Ager, Purcellville, VA""I have to tell you that you have been so professional, and we really appreciate it. You have truly made an impression on my husband and I, and I wanted to tell you. Thank you." After Mary thanked the Owner, the Owner went on to agree to a 2nd showing of the property by Mary and the potential for Mary to submit a contract on her client's behalf."
- Owner of a property Mary showed"I originally selected Susan Anthony of McEnearney Associates, Inc. due to her very astute marketing skills in my condominium building. From our initial meeting through today, her support and over-the-top service has been remarkable. Susan held regular open house events nearly every weekend. At her own expense, she sent postcards to a very large population, listed the property well so that internet inquiries immediately displayed the listing, listed the property in the Military By Owner website and advertised in multiple newspaper advertisements. Her professional marketing skills include copy writers on staff who come into the property and then produce a very professional brochure, and professional photographer services whose pictures are still available to view on the internet. Her keen marketing skills helped me "stage" the home properly for sale. She e-mailed and called me with updates several times a week. Bottom line, her service has been exemplary! I have provided recommendations to multiple friends in Northern Virginia area. Susan Anthony knows the Northern Virginia and Alexandria markets very well and has very good marketing skills."
- MG"My wife and I couldn't be happier that you helped us secure our future with our new home. You were not only a pleasure to work with but maintained your professionalism at all times."
- C & L"Congratulations on your new listing! I know this has been a tough market for many but you always seem to have such a positive attitude."
- SMC"Ann did an excellent job in assisting us with our house search. We had a very short time frame, but with Ann's diligence, we were able to close when we needed to and found a house we love. She was easy to work with and her experience and insight were invaluable. April H. in particular, was great. She is very organized and ensured the transaction went smoothly every step of the way."
- Rachel Steeger & Brian Wagner (Buyers - VA)"Working with Betsy Carson on a recent transaction proved to be a very pleasant and refreshing experience. She was able to represent the best interests of her client while fostering an amicable and productive relationship with me. Betsy is a true professional and I look forward to working with her again in the future!"
- D. H. Agent at RE/MAX Gateway"In March, my husband found out he was being transferred to Great Britain with his work. At the time, we had a daughter in college in Washington DC who was preparing to transfer out of state, we had a home we'd been expecting to stay in for the forseeable future that we were sad we were going to have to sell, and a few weeks later, we learned that my mother passed away in her sleep in her home several hours away. It was a time of emotional upheaval, from the funeral for my mother and going through my duties as executor of her estate to getting residence visas for overseas to getting my daughter moved to Miami. Through it all, we were very glad we had Jodie Burns as our Realtor. Talk about going above and beyond the call of duty! Jodie had a sympathetic ear and an eye for what needed to be done to sell our home. There were two other homes for sale on the block we lived on, at the same time, but even with that and the difficult environment in the housing market this spring, along with all of the things we were dealing with at the same time in our personal lives, Jodie was a rock, and I mean that in the best way. Always nice, always on top of what was happening and what needed to happen. My husband was out of the country for the last month before our house sold - Jodie went to the closing with me. I felt like she'd been my friend and confidante for years. It was a great feeling. I'd recommend you call her. Nothing fazes her. She stays calm, and she makes it happen."
- Robin B."You must have known how much I depended on you throughout the process of selling my mother's home. You were the ideal partner to guide us through such an emotional chore."
- Jane"I am struggling to express my deep gratitude for all you did for my family while selling the Russell Road house. You came into an emotionally charged situation with unwavering confidence and sensitivity and brought great comfort (and excellent service) to all of us. We had complete confidence in your integrity and professional judgment. You went way beyond the call of duty in so many respects."
- Sherry"Thank you for taking such good care of me - again! It has been a wild ride that I know it would have been a nightmare without your enthusiasm and expertise."
- Eric"We are relieved to have the sale of Lawrence Avenue behind us. There were enough complications and the process was lengthy enough that it must have seemed never-ending. Throughout, you provided a level of discretion and professionalism that was invaluable to us as sellers."
- Mary""When we started our search for a home, we didn't start off with Annette...and that was a big mistake on our part. She took the time to find the right "fit" for our family and was extraordinary with her attention to detail and time lines. Will go to her first next time!""
- Red and Deb M.""Having bought and sold several homes in Alexandria since 1997, I have worked with half a dozen different realtors and I can say without a doubt that Annette was the best. It wasn't that the other realtors were bad - they were all very competent, but Annette distinguished herself by appropriately staging the property, putting together outstanding marketing materials, and negotiating the highest price ever paid in my neighborhood for my type of property in 2010 when the market was awash in supply. She is keenly tuned into market conditions and will advise you, based on supply and sales, on how to get the most out of your home. Homes are by far the biggest investments most of us make in a lifetime and for as long as I remain in the area, I will continue to use and recommend Annette"."
- Kevin K."I have known Annette since June 2008 when I purchased my brand new condo at the Waterview condos in Arlington and she was the selling agent. She was very helpful in explaining all the details of the transaction to me. When I explained to her that I will not be living in the unit due to my extended travel overseas, she offered to help me rent it out . Within a short period she had found excellent tenants and made sure that they were well qualified. She is very knowledgeable and competent at what she does and she gets the highest rents in the area. She certainly knows the Rosslyn and Arlington area very well. Whenever I have a question, she is always there for me and is very helpful. I have been working with her ever since and I recommend her highly. She has an excellent personality and her dedication is superb."
- Nadia S."Annette was recommended to us by friends who had recently moved from Brussels to the D.C. area and had used her as their agent. She had given them 'exemplary service'. Rarely have we been so grateful for a referral. We had also just come over from Europe, and were new to the local market and slow to determine our preferences. Annette worked with us for five months to find our dream home within the price limit we were determined not to exceed. She did not just go the extra mile, she literally drove hundreds of extra miles to make this happen. We are indebted to her Old World sensibilities and charismatic nature."
- Boyko & Petya N."Annette's expert knowledge of the Old Town market and her ability to understand our needs as sellers, made us realize how fortunate we were to have her as our agent. Her consistent communication, support and guidance were invaluable. Enthusiastic, confident and caring, she is without a doubt, the consummate professional."
- Cindy and Dom P."Our Old Town rental was sitting on the market. Our original agent suggested lowering the rent to attract potential renters. We contacted Annette to take over the listing. Not only did Annette secure well qualified renters within a month, she held fast to the rent we were asking and got it! Annette is wonderful. Her professionalism and knowledge of the Old Town market is top notch! With us moving out of the area, she ensured that this was a turn-key process and did not ask us to do anything. She even arranged to have the house cleaned!."
- Sue and Leon S."Annette is a true professional; giving good advice, always willing to listen, and never failing to follow through. Thanks to her dedication, my house sold within 2 weeks. It was a pleasure to work with her."
- Shelby W."During our home search, Annette brought her extensive experience to bear to help us understand and establish our requirements. She demonstrated incredible patience as we researched many properties and put us under absolutely no pressure. Annette was fundamental in us finding our ideal home at the right price. She proved to be an expert guide through the whole purchasing process. Quite simply, if we were in the market again, she would be our agent of choice."
- Elena and Joe D."Annette was clearly the best and right choice for us. She was our trusted adviser and strong advocate from the first meeting until final closing. We highly recommend her to anyone seeking to buy or sell a home."
- Debbie and Rich H."In my estimation, after having worked with several other realtors, Annette Hinaman is without a doubt the best realtor I have worked with in the Washington D.C. region. I consider Annette a find not only because of her expert understanding of the Arlington and Washington D.C. luxury market, but because of her professionalism and dedication. She is responsive, thorough, flexible, knowledgeable, conscientious, and seeks to maintain a lifetime relationship with her clients - not just a quick deal. That is of course reflected in her services. Annette is reliable. Long after our contract with Annette had closed, she accepted and responded quickly to calls and other forms of communications from us from overseas that were real estate related but independent of her previous services. She is the ultimate professional, and the first real estate professional to spring to mind whenever anything related to real estate is mentioned by friends or colleagues. I am proud to have worked with her and provide my strongest recommendation."
- Naomi and Everett S."I met Sean 9 years ago when I decided to buy my first condominium. He submitted a great personal letter to the seller with my contract and I believe that letter is what got me my home - the person I was bidding against was willing to go to a higher price, yet my contract was accepted. I loved that condo and the entire process was painless. Last December, I called Sean and told him that my husband and I were ready to move. Sean gave us insider tips on the City of Alexandria and helped us make the right decision on the home we bought. Then came the hard part - selling our condo. Sean gave us great advice on staging and we had a contract in 45 days, allowing us to focus and get excited over the upcoming move. Sean is a great realtor, an adviser and a friend. It is a pleasure to work with him and I can't recommend him enough."
- Ursula and Joey B."We went through a year and a half search process with Sean Mcenearney and he showed us nothing but patience and dedication. He listened to all of our concerns and wants in order to find us the best home possible for our family. We have recommended Sean to several friends and they have had the same success we did in finding their perfect home."
- Rachel & Matt S."Fourteen years ago I used Sean McEnearney to help me purchase a home in Alexandria. The experience was terrific. When my wife and I decided to retire I made one call. Sean and I discussed all the things we should do to get the house ready for sale. Within 2 weeks of putting it on the market we had 3 offers. We settled on time and with no hiccups. We had another very gratifying experience thanks to Sean."
- Bill M"As first-time homebuyers, we felt completely overwhelmed by the entire process. However, Sean provided amazing advice through each and every step, exhibiting incredible patience and understanding as we peppered him with questions. Moreover, his prior experience as a general contractor proved invaluable during our initial walkthrough, as he pointed out certain items in and around the house that gave us additional comfort that we were making the right decision. Using Sean is like getting two professionals for the price of one! We absolutely intend to use Sean and McEnearney Associates for all of our future real estate transactions, and we highly recommend them to anyone."
- Caty & Larry C."Our experience with Shirley Mattam-Male was outstanding, especially in view of the daunting challenges inherent in today's real estate market. She is a consummate professional who always acts in the client's best interests. Her sales efforts ranging from the sales brochure, house book, advertisements in every media imaginable, and open house were extremely thorough, well-conceived and very, very effective. She is very conscientious and always available to help and to offer wise counsel on all real estate related matters. We are privileged to call her a true friend. We wish we could have her in Raleigh, NC to help us on the buying end of our journey. P.S. I am retired Colonel Marines. Our highest compliments are reserved for who are always loyal and always honorable. Shirley qualifies. We will recommend her to our friends. Thank you."
- Gruggel/Seller""My husband and I are convinced that it (our home) would not have been sold at all without Cherie's total commitment and hard work....At every turn, Cherie demonstrated professionalism, a graceful determination and willingness to work through all the issues.""
- JoAnne and Edward Phipps"Bob was tireless in trying to find houses that met our needs and showing us all properties that met our criteria."
- C & L McClure"Bob is the most responsive Real Estate Agent we have ever met. In working with us on the sale, his recommendations were sound, his sense for how long the hosue would stay on the market proved correct and his paperwork was thorough and accurate. Perhaps most important, he cares about people."
- J & N Wallace"Than you Bob for making the purchase of our house easy, efficient, and fun!"
- J & J Wheeler"Sue Kovalsky and Jen Walker are the best buyers agents around! They will listen to you and understand quickly exactly what you are looking for. I worked with Sue using online searches of properties prior to going to Alexandria for the house search. She previewed the homes I had selected so that we had a short but focused list of properties for me to view. Because of this selection process, the perfect house for me was the second house I looked at! Sue and Jen then helped me through the sometimes difficult process of getting from finding the right house to settlement. They were definitely the best part of an otherwise stressful moving process. Hope you are selling lots of houses! Carol Proudfit"
- Carol Proudfit"Having worked with Jen in the past, I already knew how wonderful she & her team was but when she sold my house in less than a week and at full price, she blew me away! Jen & her team are the very best hands down. From pointing out what needed to be done to my home, calling & arranging repairs with the contractors to pricing, I could not be more pleased with the whole process!! R. Daren Blakey Sr"
- R. Daren Blakey, Sr."If there was a contest for talented real estate Agents, Shirley Mattam-Male would be America's idol. My husband and I have worked with 8 different real estate agents over the course of years, and Shirley out shines everyone. During the purchasing process for a home where we now reside, we constantly compared our new agent to Shirley. Shirley will make your experience buying or selling a home pleasant and easy, and one that you will never forget. We really miss working with her"
- Harkus/Sternberg/Seller"Shirley's thorough preparation and considerable continued help-including but not limited to her expertise in contacting excellent roofers, painters, and repair folks - enabled us to get my house on the market earlier than anyone else had advised me to do, and to get it on the market in the best possible shape - neighbors who visited the open house she held for my home told me it showed extremely well. All this resulted in a sale within 9 days on the market, and at the asking price - something else Shirley thought out with considerable care and talked over with me prior to our agreeing on it. It will come as no surprise at this point for me to say that Shirley's work, over a period of months, was extraordinary and exemplary. I cannot praise her highly enough."
- Sitterson/Seller"Shirley was extremely helpful and professional throughout the entire long process and kept us in the loop at all times. There were many discussions from start to end about different approaches, changes, upgrades, etc. and we appreciated all of the professional support that we received. Shirley's commitment was remarkable and from our perspective, the reason the sale finally happened. I'm sure you know what a valuable resource you have in Shirley. Thanks again. It was a very positive experience and I have no hesitation at all in recommending your agency and Shirley to potential buyers and sellers."
- Brown/Seller"Can't say enough about Susan. She's been the "go to" person for our family and friends for years. Whether it's buying, selling and/or renting, she's head and shoulders above the rest with regard to experience, knowledge and proven track record. Nobody's better at straight talk, developing successful strategies, staying on top of things, keeping her clients informed, dealing with difficult problems and people, and protecting her client's interests as well as negotiating and closing the deal. "Can't, no, not, won't or forget it" are not in her vocabulary. If she doesn't have the answer she'll chase it down for you. When it comes to real estate we "Never leave home without her!!". She is an essential part of our team and we plan to continue highly recommending her to others."
- S. Z."We worked with Susan on three transactions - which included buying and selling of our homes. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her - and I recommended her to two of my close friends - both of who are in beautiful homes. Susan was very courteous, professional and knowledgeable. Her advice was balanced and fair - and never did we feel pressured to buy a house. The process took many many months - and Susan's attitude and approach was the same - professional and courteous. We highly recommend her services."
- ATN"I have worked with Susan on 3 transactions now. she is a straight shooter with incredible knowledge of the area and the process. i have and will continue to recommend her to anyone and everyone that needs a real estate agent. LOVE HER!!"
- Sanger"She is absolutely wonderful! She is incredibly knowledgeable and supported us and gave us the needed information during each step of the process. She is incredibly patient, particularly as we were first time home buyers. We will recommend her to anyone! Our only recommendation is that you give Shirley a bonus for her hard work, long hours and superb customer service."
- Ingraham/Purchaser"We were extremely happy and pleased that we chose Shirley Mattam-Male to be our Realtor. She took us by the hand and guided us through the sale of our home with much dignity and professionalism. Shirley disclosed all the details, big and small, that we needed to know to prepare and sell our home. Her guidance and knowledge was instrumental in the sale of our home. She effectively utilized experts including a stager and design artist to prepare floor plans of the house for a beautiful brochure of the house. This and her other measures were undoubtedly productive in a quick sale of an upscale home. Her personal interest was evident in the time, resources, comparative research, and in her availability to us."
- Jones/Seller"Good Afternoon Susan, First, Suzy and I want to thank you again for everything, it was a real pleasure working with you in our house hunt and you clearly went above and beyond. Suzy and I were incredibly impressed with your honesty and candidness when touring home after home and it meant a lot to us that you were patient and truly looking out for our best interests. Most of all, you not only treated us with respect, but you made the house-hunt something we would look forward to, not just because you made it so easy to to find our home, but to also because you are such a great person. Suzy and I can honestly say that you became more than just a real estate agent, you became a friend. Thank you again Susan, you are by far the best real estate agent we've ever dealt with! Cy and Suzy"
- Cy and Suzy"We were VERY pleased with the way Jo-Ann represented us during our search for a home. She was very patient, very knowledgeable, and very thorough in her research for available homes and other questions that we had. She also gave us suggestions to consider before making a decision, we found this to be very helpful. Jo-Ann was more than a Realtor, she became our friend! We would recommend Jo-Ann to anyone looking to sell, buy or rent a home."
- Ronald and Miriam Borrego"Jo-Ann is an amazingly patient real estate agent! We met her over a year ago when my husband accepted a transfer to the DC area. She worked with us for 6 months looking under every stone until we found the right house in Leesburg. Jo-Ann takes the time to learn your likes and dislikes and works to counsel her clients. She guides you rather than pushes you into a property. Once the property is chosen she is proactive in providing you with the necessary information to allow her to negotiate with vigor and drive the process to closing. AMAZING! If we were to buy another home, sell ours, or seek out an investment property, Jo-Ann will be our first choice!!"
- Lili and Mario De Castro"Your efforts should be commended by your sellers. You are in the elite class of agents."
- Randy"Annette is an excellent realtor and did an outstanding job in marketing my rental property. She quickly found a superb tenant for my Old Town Alexandria townhouse and rented the property on an extended lease at a very good rate. She is very detail oriented so I understood what she was doing at every step of the way. She expedited all of the paperwork and covered all bases. I would definitely choose Annette for future real estate needs. She's the #1 agent in several categories for a reason."
- Greg V."We highly recommend Annette. As first time home buyers, we were unfamiliar with the process. Annette took the time to explain the nuances of home buying, ensured we viewed different types and styles of homes within our target price range, and answered all our questions. She was always available by phone, text message, email, and in person, and she made a difficult and complex process, easy and rewarding. We will definitely call on her again for our next home!"
- Jeff and Antonette S."Above and beyond! Kay was fantastic, and I will recommend her without reservation to everybody I know who is moving in the area."
- C. Humber"Kay is a solid businesswoman who is dedicated to her customers and looks after their interests 100%. She is aware of the many variables that must be considered to find a home that truly 'fits'. She is extremely knowledgeable about the market and the complex ins and outs of real estate transactions. She ensures that her customers make smart decisions. I know because I've worked with Kay on both sides as a buyer and a seller. Kay found one home for me and, when I had to re-locate a few years later, she managed the sale. Each time she was an effective advocate and patient advisor. She listened to my points, made sure I understood what was going on, and got me the best possible deal, all with patience and efficiency. Kay is terrific at what she does!"
"When I've recommended you to others, I always lead with two things: One, you very quickly pick up on what type of home your buyers are looking for not wasting time with things that the buyer wouldn't consider and two, you are not high pressure. This makes you very, very easy to recommend to other people."
"Kay Blemker was referred to me by a friend. What a professional Kay is! During my search Kay listened, constantly educated me on what was going on in the market; and most importantly, never wasted my time showing me properties that did not fit my requirements. If you are looking for a Realtor, call Kay. I am confident that she will help you find exactly the right home and make the entire process go as smoothly as possible."
"Kay was referred to us by a coworker after we expressed our frustration with another realtor that we had been working with. We appreciate all she did to help us buy our first home and are enjoying the home ownership thing much more than apartment living. Thanks again!"
"I have just bought a house in Forrest Hills with the assistance of Kay Blemker. The experience has been by far the most gratifying of my long experience of buying and selling houses. Kay has done a lot more in this process than could be expected of the average agent and has impressed me with her professional competence and dedication to her clients. Kay Blemker is a credit to McEnearney Associates and to the realtor profession. I intend in the future to recommend her to any of my friends in the real estate market, and I am sure many of the people who have been associated with her in this process will also."
- F. Shoup"Kay showed outstanding attention, care, and support during the entire engagement. She was always immediate and present whenever we asked for clarification. In particular, her pricing process was remarkable and helped accelerate the sale."
- G. Balestrero"Moving to Northern Virginia from out of state with no chance to visit in advance because of the constraints of two young children was a challenge. Jodie worked with my wife and I to make the process much easier by sending listings ahead of the move and being available soon after arrival to look at properties. We wanted to close on the new house as soon as possible and Jodie's availability and prompt response to our many requests during negotiations made everything much easier. I plan to recommend Jodie to any friends moving to the Northern Virginia area."
- Ian G."We moved from California. Once we went to contract on the house we wanted to buy, we had to return home to pack. All the details to get to closing had to be handled by phone. Ann stayed in close touch with us and got us over all the hurdles to closing in spite of the long distance."
- Dick and Anne Reisig"I ran into Ann at the grocery store one day and mentioned that I wanted a house where I could stand at my kitchen sink and look into a garden. A few weeks later Ann called and said I found your new house. She was right - I bought it that afternoon. The garden view from the kitchen sink is fabulous."
- Gail Landgraff""We have known Alyssa for several years, and eventually had the pleasure of enlisting her services as our buyer's agent when purchasing a new home in Falls Church. Not only was Alyssa helpful in ensuring that we got the best price for the property, but she also made sure that all of our concerns were addressed and our questions both asked and answered. Further, her familiarity with the area was a big help in understanding our new community and the surrounding area - shopping, restaurants, transportation, and other features that would make our daily living more comfortable and convenient. We would not hesitate to recommend Alyssa Cannon. Her attention to detail, patience, and professionalism made our experience a very positive one.""
- Kenneth and Mildred Gutterman""When my wife Elizabeth and I started looking to buy a home, we weren't sure we were ready to jump. Thankfully we were working we working with Alyssa Cannon who was a true professional. Alyssa never tried to pressure us to buy before we were ready and patiently answered our questions and concerns. Alyssa helped Elizabeth and I find a beautiful condo in Arlington which we've been living in happily ever since.""
- Ben Ertel""When we moved overseas to begin new jobs, Alyssa helped us rent our townhouse very quickly and effectively. She accurately forecast the market for rentals and helped us decide on an appropriate rental rate. She understood our need to find a tenant who would take good care of our house, and she arranged for needed repairs in a very timely and responsive way. She's a real professional whom we trust and regard very highly.""
- Judy Barsalou""I have had the pleasure of working with Alyssa for real estate lease. I would recommend her highly to anyone interested in leasing, selling, or buying real estate property. Alyssa is meticulous , timely, and proactive. She has excellent knowledge of the local real estate market and trends. She very carefully selects applicants and exercises sound professional judgment in every aspect. She is a pleasure to work with.""
- Esther Lim""As a first time homebuyer, Alyssa made me feel very comfortable and took the time at each step along the way to explain the process. Thanks to her efforts, I found the perfect condo in a great location that was well within my price range." -"
- Marianne Oliva"Ann Nichols has been my real estate agent for over 30 years and represented me in over 8 transactions. I have received excellent advice and I have NEVER been disappointed. In the toughest of markets, not only did she advise me on how to prepare my house for being put on the market -- I followed everything Ann told me to do -- then Ann came in and staged the house! Our last home sold in January 2011 in 3 weeks and 2 days. Ann has represented at least 6 of our friends, whom are also repeat customers."
- Rose Marie Farrar Settled and retired at Smith Mt. Lake, VA"I want to thank you again for the marvelous job you did in helping us sell our home so quickly. Selecting you to be our Realtor was the wisest thing we did in the entire process. You truly offer full service and were always there to handle questions and concerns. We've made a lot of moves over the years but never encountered a Realtor who came close to matching your skills and dedication. Thanks so much!"
- A. Anderson"I want to thank you for the tremendous job you did in helping me sell the family home as I struggled to relocate my elderly mother to a retirement community. It had been some time since I had been involved in a real estate transaction and this was an eye-opening experience for me. I feel very fortunate to have been referred to you when I look back on how much effort went into the preparing for sale, the marketing, and final sale of our long-time family residence. I had no idea that your services even existed! Your contractors were delightful to work with -- consummate professionals who were sensitive to the fact that this was a very emotional event for my mom. I will always be grateful for your handling of this time in our lives."
- Corey H."I want to thank you for helping me with the transition from living in my home to "having-things-done-for-you" living in a retirement community! Your experience and knowledge made it possible for me to accomplish my tasks with greater efficiency and with very little stress. Most helpful were the prioritized lists of tasks and your scheduling of competent, reasonably-priced workers to make the house attractive to the buyers. This contributed greatly to my peace of mind. Because you so carefully scheduled everything and got my house looking good for the buyers, I was very please that my final sales price was so far above the asking price! I wasn't expecting so many offers but the higher price gave me more to live on and for that I am grateful!"
- D. Nichols"After months of intensive searching, I bought my new home solely due to the market knowledge, persistence and advocacy of realtor Marcia Bowlds. From our first meeting she was quickly attuned to my requirements and came to understand, even better than I did, what properties might work or not for my family. She spent countless hours searching listings and previewing houses on my behalf, not to mention the many Saturdays and weekday mornings she spent touring properties with me. Despite the prolonged search, Marcia never allowed me to settle for anything less than my "dream house." And in that time she helped me learn the ins and outs of the real estate industry through her solid, professional advice. This education allowed me to move quickly yet confidently to win my property when Marcia found it -- even before it went on the market. From a personal standpoint, Marcia is an absolute delight to work with. She is genuinely invested in her clients and takes tremendous joy in helping them achieve their goals. And her equally friendly and straightforward approach with other agents have earned her a strong reputation in Arlington. I truly can't recommend Marcia highly enough to anyone considering a home purchase or sale. She will be your greatest ally."
- Kathleen Hayden"We couldn't have asked for a better experience!"
- Bob and Nancy E."Sherri provided a level of service that was ABOVE AND BEYOND! Our experience was exceptional and we simply couldn't have asked for anything more!"
- David and Stephanie M."Sherri was a skillful negotiator, well-versed in real estate laws, and protected our interests. She was wonderful!"
- Sam and Gina P."Sherri did an AWESOME job selling our home!!! But we're not surprised . . . She did a great job helping us purchase this home seven years ago! THANK YOU!"
- Lauren W."Our recent selling experienced with Sherri was just like our buying experience with her three years ago - SIMPLY AMAZING! Sherri exceeded our most lofty expectations. She was able to negotiate MORE than top dollar for our property. If you don't enlist Sherri on your team, you are sure to leave money on the table!"
- Christian and Ashley B."We cannot say enough about Sherri. She has helped us with THREE real estate transactions over the years! She is an incredible asset and credit to the real estate profession!"
- Dan and Eileen D."Sherri's selling strategies were so effective that my home sold for a price that even the neighbors are talking about!"
- Anna B."I am writing to thank McEnearney Associates, and particularly Marcia Bowlds, for the extraordinary job she did in selling my property on Veitch Street in Arlington. I have attempted to sell the property through realtors three times in the past, most recently in 2001, but not had any luck. This time I determined to do it myself, taking advantage of a hot market. I had the property on the market for six weeks, and held an open house. i had two contracts, both of which failed because the buyers could not get financing. At the open house I realized that I was not getting qualified buyers, just interested neighbors and young people who did not have the resources to buy the property. The best thing that came out of the open house was Marcia. She introduced herself and offered some well considered, professional advice on what it would take to sell. I signed with Marcia the following day (a Sunday). There was a lot of work to be done to get the property in shape and get the marketing material together, but Marcia had it on the market by Tuesday afternoon and an open house set for the following Sunday. The Open House generate two bonafide offers, and the highest bidder won. So, Marcia accomplished in a little over a week what I had not been able to accomplish in six. But the best part is that even with the six percent fee, I realized a higher return than I would have had I sold it myself, and I was spared the many hassles that go with selling a property. I can assure you if I ever decide to sell my other house in Arlington, I will list it with Marcia."
- William Pryor"Annette demonstrated unparalleled perseverance and depth of knowledge regarding renting, purchasing, financing, and property management. It is rare to find such extensive experience and work ethic in one person. My husband and I arrived from Scotland, with a baby on the way, and with no knowledge of the area or idea of what sort of house we should consider renting or buying, and little experience regarding financing. Annette worked tirelessly on our behalf. She always had a professional and cheerful manner, and quickly responded, regardless of how busy her day had been, with sound practical advice in all areas of concern based on careful and thorough consideration of our personal circumstances. She was endlessly patient, relentlessly perseverant, and eternally optimistic as we viewed house after house, and quick to present us with new options as they emerged across the market - sometimes even ahead of listing. Her advice and contacts were a great help in finding our future home and making sure the offer was well conceived and submitted promptly. She helped us arrange financing, subsequently rented the house to well qualified tenants when we were transferred, and arranged for professional property management compliant with Virginia law and best business practices. Her advice has proven to be valid in all areas. We can highly recommend her."
- Fiona and Brison E."Jodie Burns exceeded our expectations. She really took the time to understand what we wanted in our new home. She always made herself available even in very short notice. She is one of the most professional people we have ever met. We will recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home without hesitation."
- Julian & Rosemary G."Yolanda, I really appreciated your work as my real estate agent in the sale of my house and purchase of a new house. I was extremely impressed with your marketing skills. You did a data analysis of the market to assist in setting a good price for sale of my house, brought in an expert at your own expense to stage it, giving me two free hours of staging consultation, and you brought in an excellent photographer to photograph the house so every asset could be maximized. Your strategy worked perfectly - my house sold in three days. On the purchase side, you were extremely skilled as well. You took great initiative my sending out letters to homeowners in the area I wanted to buy, and in fact, found several options that were not even on the market. You were an excellent negotiator - again, you did market surveys to determine a fair price for the house. You had data to persuade the seller to sell under what they wanted. All in all, you were extremely responsive, resourceful and creative, and it was great working with you."
- Lisa Ross"I was Mason's first client and, from the start, was impressed with her people skills and organization. She knows the trends and demographics of our area. She will go the extra mile for you and be there from the start to the end. I would not hesitate to recommend her to others (and have!)."
- Charlie"Mason's professionalism, organization, attention to detail, and warm, personable manner make doing business with her a pleasure."
- Charlie"My husband and I were looking to move to Old Town Alexandria, but were not very unfamiliar with the area. Lucky for us, Mason Bavin at McEnearney Associates became our real estate agent. Mason not only educated us on Old Town, but found us a fabulous property. Mason is the consummate professional, very knowledgeable, patient, friendly, accommodating, and honest. Working with Mason was an extremely positive experience, and a buyer/renter will be very fortunate to have the opportunity to be represented by Mason."
- Christine"Recently, we found out we were moving to the northern Virginia area for the third time and knew from past experience we wanted to live in Old Town Alexandria. After asking friends for recommendations on a Realtor, we were introduced to the wonderful Mason Bavin. We were stationed overseas at the time and were able to work with her long distance and she was prepared to show us properties as soon as we arrived. Mason assessed our needs and adapted her search of homes for us, showing all that was available for purchase or rent, asking and answering many, many questions. When our job situation changed and it was necessary for us to rent, nothing in Mason's level of service changed. We still received her undivided attention, professional courtesy, and full support in finding a rental home. We had to leave the area for a short time and she followed up with us daily, finding the perfect rental through her vast network of contacts, in the exact location we wanted, handling the process over the phone, Internet and through the mail. We were able to move into our Old Town home and settle in with full faith and confidence that it was the right decision because Mason took the time to get to know us and our desires for what we needed in our home. A few weeks ago we had family who were house hunting in Maryland and having a difficult time. When they asked how to find a trustworthy Realtor, we thought of Mason. One phone call to her and in no time at all, we had the name of a wonderful Realtor who was licensed in Maryland and who turned out to be of great help. Again, Mason was there when we needed her, even when it would be of no financial gain to her. Mason Bavin is that special person you can develop a relationship with and she will go above and beyond to help her clients, no matter the situation."
- Ross & Deidre"Mason Bavin is our agent -- she's very sweet, easy to work with, and she's a third (or more?) generation Old Towner and knows everyone and everything in Alexandria. She's very organized, does everything in a timely fashion, scans and emails documents to you immediately after they're finalized, and works her schedule to accommodate yours. I would recommend her highly."
- Elise"Mason did a great job selling our house in a tough "buyer's market." In our sale, "crunch time" occurred after the contract was signed, and before closing. Mason pulled out all the stops, at just the right time to make sure our deal stayed on track to a timely close, on terms that everyone could live with. In our case, ironing out post ratification wrinkles required good judgment and timely access to a wide variety resources and experience only available at a large and seasoned firm like McEnearney. In the end, everything was pulled together like clockwork, and we were convinced that we had chosen the right listing agent."
- Latane"I had wonderful experience working with Mason. She was knowledgeable and patient answering all my questions about relocating to the Fairfax area. Mason always went the extra mile to help me find the right house and location for my family."
- Jeff"Mason knows the local market well and goes beyond the call of duty in helping to find or sell a home. Our experience was met beyond expectation even in these uncertain times. Mason makes you feel as if you are her only client and makes the transactions easy and understandable." If you are thinking Real Estate think Mason.....your only choice for bringing together exceptional properties for exceptional people."
- Edwin N. Vinson"I really enjoyed working with you. Your involvement with the process is, in my opinion, perfect. I wish all of my agents treated the process the way you do. Please think of me again when you need a good, friendly banker. Cheers."
- Alec, Lender"We cannot recommend Mason more highly. Her professionalism, knowledge and attention to detail were impeccable. She worked with us diligently, and thoroughly to make sure that we felt comfortable with each step of the process from listing, staging, showing and then through the contract negotiations. We couldn't be happier with the result as we had a fantastic contract within 3 days of listing in a tough real estate market!"
- Ed & Tricia Karppi"Jodie was everything we could have asked for in an agent...professional and responsive. As first time buyers, she walked us through the buying process and made it as easy as possible for us. Jodie was always available to answer a question or follow up with a concern -- and there were many! It was a pleasure working with Jodie!"
- Maureen & Matt H."Mr. DiCicco: Just wanted to let you know what a great job Richard McGuire did in helping my wife, Jamie, and I find a home here in the D.C. area recently. We were making our search by phone and internet from South Carolina and trying to make the most of my time off during the Christmas/New Year holidays.We made numerous attempts to contact agents who were listed with properties we had found on line, but we had difficulty getting in touch with anyone.Finally, someone put us in contact with Richard McGuire and all our problems were solved! Not only did Richard agree to meet us on the day after Christmas, but he was also willing to research and then show us just about any property we asked him about.When he determined the basics of what we were looking for,he suggested we also look at a specific townhouse that he thought we might like.Turns out,Richard's suggestion became our new home! As we looked at all the other possibilities, Richard never put any pressure on us whatsoever. He courteously answered all the questions we had,pointed out the plus and minus side of whatever we were discussing, and provided helpful info about areas we didn't even think to ask.He even assisted us with follow-up issues involving the property after we'd initiated the lease. Richard provided absolutely outstanding, user-friendly,customer-focused service to me and my family. Thank you for having employees like him on your team. Dan"
- Dan"Robin is a real estate Goddess. She listens to exactly what you want and takes you right to it. She will not waste your time looking at properties that don't meet your criteria. She works fast and will find you exactly what you want. We have purchased several properties from her and referred several more. All of our referrals loved her too! She even catches mistakes at closing! What agent actually pays attention to that stuff? Robin, that's who!"
- Doug Batcheller"Robin is my real estate agent and is one of the most personable and effective business people I've met. She listened to all my requirements and took me to see only houses that met my requirements. She also followed-thru in every aspect of the homebuying process--and has kept in touch with me after the sale to make sure I am aware of details regarding appreciation on my home and what opportunities are available in my neighborhood if I decide to upgrade to a larger home. I would strongly recommend Robin to anyone who is in need of an excellent real estate professional."
- Ellen Marshall"Robin did an outstanding job selling my home in a down market in 2008. She had great marketing ideas, but she also listened to us and understood our needs. EW really liked her positive attitude. I have already recommended her to three friends and they were satisfied too."
- James Zumwalt"I had only a short amount of time to find a house before I moved to the area. After just a couple of conversations, Robin knew exactly the type of house that would be a good fit for me. She helped me get all the necessary paperwork and inspection done within just a few days, stayed in touch through the move and helped all the way through closing ... and beyond. She's a great resource for all sorts of service providers in the area. Robin is the consummate professional and a joy to work with and know."

- Johnny and Klaudia"I interviewed 4 other firms and, based on results, chose McEnearney Associates and Lisa. Lisa was extremely knowledgeable, professional and truthful.

I would absolutely recommend Lisa to my friends."

We were impressed by the support provided us by McEnearney."
- Richard and Kathleen"My most recent transaction could not have happened without Jackie's hard work, wonderful personality and tremendous attention to details. She really worked overtime...advised me expertly on pricing and terms, and shepherded the entire process to completion (including a very complicated and important inspection) with style, humor and intelligence. It is so refreshing to find a real estate professional who combines front-office personality with back-office hard work and solid business sense."
- Dr. William Wolf III"Everything finally came together - due to Jackie's guidance and diligence! After finding a foreclosed property on 10 acres, we really needed expert guidance and an advocate to help make our vision become a reality. There were numerous issues that required extensive negotiations and follow-up. Jackie was well versed, detail oriented, and managed the entire process with commendable perseverance and commitment. She is a breath of fresh air filled with knowledge and insight!"

- Donna Hughes"My wife & I were expecting, and needed to upgrade, & fast. We had a very small market niche within which we could comfortably fit, but despite our limitations Jackie helped us find our home & gave us the same dedication she would provide to anyone.

Her expert knowledge of local markets & integrity are what will keep us as clients as our family grows."
- Mark & Lindsay Jones"My Wife & I had the pleasure of working with Jackie when buying our home. She was very knowledgeable of the market. Jackie took the time to show every home that we expressed interest in,was extremely informative on each property,and was very thorough in all that she did for us. Her shining personality made home buying fun & easy. Not to mention,she found us a great home that brought us about 50K in instant equity. I would recommend her to anyone who wants paramount service while home shopping."

She met every request of mine with a smile and a 'can do' attitude. Jackie's pleasant personality, constant courtesy, and obvious professionalism made the process of selling my home in McLean as carefree as it possibly could have been. In short, Jackie is first class!"
- J. McCrery, Seller"Patty Kirsch really knows how to stage and actively market a house. I have had the pleasure of working with Patty through four transactions. Both of our listings had offers when first listed and this is when the housing market was considered down! Whether buying or selling, Patty brings professionalism, efficiency, thoroughness, attention to detail and a firm grasp of the real estate business together with more than 22 years of experience. She also is just so nice and personable that I have always thought that her presence at an Open House helps to make the sale."
- Claudia Barnes"We were extremely pleased with Patty serving as our Realtor, as our listing agent, buyer's agent and friend. We were in the housing market for an extended period of time waiting for the right opportunity. She was patient, hard working and showed a lot of perseverance for our unique demands."
- Kathy & John Partridge"As my agent, Yolanda was very instrumental in helping me understand where the market was with the variables that I needed, and to come in with a sound offer for the selected purchase. Her negotiation was extremely deft despite other interest in the property. Further, she had an array of recommendations for various support services; I used the inspector and the title company that she recommended and was very happy with them. Finding the right home is an intimate life choice no matter how many times you make it, and with Yolanda the natural stress of such a transaction is greatly eased!"
- Virginia B."I have known Yolanda since 1979 when I hired her as a brand new real estate agent in Washington, DC. From the beginning of her career Yolanda showed an instinct for knowing the needs of her sellers and buyers. She has grown her successful career from this early stage through today, as both a successful agent and a successful manager. This melding of the two arts makes her particularly adept at helping those with real estate needs to successfully reach their goals. I highly recommend Yolanda for a successful, expedient real estate transaction."

- Jeffrey Camerato"Both Robin Arnold and Ani McDougal were so helpful. Robin's pictures and write up for advertising were very lovely and professional. Their patience was appreciated especially when we hit "bumps in the road". They made a difficult time in my life much easier."
- Sheila Hargreaves"The best decision that I ever made was to change agents after the six month mark and put you on "the case". The fact that you are a local agent with deep ties to the Alexandria community made all the difference. As difficult as the past nine months have been, I still chuckle when I think about how much fun you and I had together strategizing over how to market our property. I couldn't think of a "cooler lady to partner with! As an entrepreneur myself, I rarely see good salesmanship and you are one of the few who have it. Thanks again Robin!"
- Michael and Jennifer Appleton"Donna, your knowledge of all the various neighborhoods in Northern VA - including all the extras in terms of schools, area parks, and restaurants (!) was extremely helpful to us navigating our move from DC to the suburbs. Your patience and availability- usually with very little notice - were really appreciated. And your assistance in negotiating our offer and contract - and getting through the closing even with the last minute glitch - was invaluable. Having you as an agent truly made our experience so much easier and more enjoyable!"
- Vanessa S,"Santiago's knowledge of the local market, his key contacts in the community and his good advice made the sale of our home in Washington, DC a success when we decided to relocate in Switzerland. I would highly recommend Santiago."

- Norman (Source)"Incredible...smart, professional, poised, able to respond to any situation. Fabulous eye for "staging." Sensitive and intuitive about how to speak with people -- clients and potential buyers. Always available to respond to questions. Creative, knowledgeable. Outstanding!!"
- JS"I watched in awe as Colleen Coopersmith rearranged my furniture, re-hung artwork, brought in accessories, and directed the clean out and organization of every closet in the house. She has have a background in design, her taste is impeccable, and her standards for my house are much higher than my own! Part coach, part construction worker, and part interior designer, she transformed my home. I feel like I've lived through an episode of HGTV and my house has evolved from 'pretty good' into the kind of house I would like to buy! It was a slight bruise to my ego to learn that my furniture placement was all wrong and the paint color I had painstaking selected for the powder room was unacceptable. I thought the quilts and expensive bedding in our master bedroom were gorgeous but apparently they didn't match the bedroom furniture and paint at all. Who knew? There is now a whole new set of linens that have been approved by Colleen, otherwise known as 'the boss of me.' My husband had to take some things on the chin as well; the entertainment stand he has steadfastly refused to replace for years is no more. The dining room light fixture I've been complaining about since we moved in has been replaced with something new and fresh and absolutely perfect for the space. Best of all, the granite countertops that have been on my wish list for the next house are now taking up residence in my kitchen! Of course, there's not much else in the kitchen besides those lovely countertops since functional items are not on the approved list of dcor. Yesterday my sweet five year old said, "I really want to draw a picture, but there's no paper in the house." We are practicing the art of simple (or some might call it austere) living until our home sells. Until then, we will be dining out often and trying to remember why we are moving."
- Tara M."This realtor is worth her weight in gold. They don't make them like this anymore. In every case she was my objective partner. I was clueless of the process, but she knew the business, its twists and turns, and every nuance. She had really listened, remembered, evaluated what I wanted - at times even better than I myself knew - and guided me accordingly. I am very literally in my condo today not because I offered more for it - I did not - but because of this woman's command of the process. There should be a line and a screening process to become Nada's client and with this kind of a business ethic and capability there will be."
- Basile Pissalidis"The commitment, personal attention, unwavering patience, persistence and hard-work we received from Nada made us feel that she considered us and our business as important as the person buying a million-dollar house. Even after the papers were signed and the house was purchased, Nada took the time to make sure things were in accordance to what was promised and fought for our rights until the last minute. Not to mention we received great recommendations for plumbers and painters."
- The Magees"You can feel safe with Nada representing you in your real estate pursuit. She is a straight shooter and pays strong attention to details. When I purchased my home I knew Nada had researched every aspect of the sale and protected my interests at every juncture. I plan to use Nada for my future real estate transactions and highly recommend her to anyone considering buying or selling a home."
- Barbara Kupperman"Nada Seide did an extraordinary job finding a home for me to purchase in Old Town Alexandria. Through her expertise and familiarity with the Alexandria market, and her research and planning, she made the most of the very limited time I had available to look at houses, and made me feel as if I was her only client. The houses on the market at the time to which she took me all closely fit my specifications, and she even found houses not yet on the market for me to look at -- one of which I bought! When I later had to be out of the country for the closing, Nada again pulled out all the stops to make sure my closing went smoothly. I absolutely recommend Nada to anyone looking to buy or sell a house."
- Kevin L."Very knowledgeable. Kept me informed and worked hard behind the scenes to get the process completed. My sale was fraught with difficult challenges (a buy/sale), and Nada stayed on top of it all. I am so impressed by her negotiation skills - she is kind, courteous, prepared and persuasive, all while getting the job done without force or tactics. She lets you know what you need to do to be successful. Nada was never too busy for my array of questions. Very quick to answer all inquiries. Her professionalism, politeness and willingness helped me through the difficult and sometimes frustrating process of buying and selling a home. I am forever grateful. Nada is extremely thorough and consistently engaged. Nada remains true to the good and honest person she is. I am committed to her for life. By the way, I am not a first-time home buyer - I have owned and purchased 6 homes in my 60+ years. Nada is exceptional. I trust Nada fully. Thanks Nada!"
- Doris Stanley - Marina Towers, Alexandria, VA"My wife and I had never met met JoAnn prior to hiring her to help us find our current home. I can say with confidence that if it were not for JoAnn's expertise and guidance, I would not own the home I currently live in (and LOVE!) today. JoAnn knows the DC area exceptionally well but she is THE expert in Loudoun County. She has her finger on the market. She knows what the comps will be before she pulls them. She has extensive experience with other agents, home inspectors and local banks and she will leverage all of that to help you find your dream home. JoAnn is a genuinely nice person. This isn't a requirement for a realtor but for us, it really helped. She spoke kindly to our small children who were hesitant about all the changes and put us at ease during a difficult process. We bought a short sale at a time when most realtors had no idea how t handle them properly. JoAnn knew all the requirements and saved us significant money by knowing where a proper offer should be on a short sale. Lastly, our short sale approval came through and allowed only 10 days until closing. JoAnn found a private broker who pushed through our loan and got us to the table on time when every bank we'd tried said it couldn't be done. I cannot recommend JoAnn, her work and work ethic highly enough!"
- Mark and Carol"I put my house on the market at the end of January and closed the first week in March at very good price!!!! I trust Charilyn over any neighborhood expert. Charilyn specializes in strategy and negotiation, wherever the property location. She's saved me thousands, both on my house purchase 3 years back and now again on selling. It pays to trust Charilyn."
- Marcus Z., engineer with aerospace company in the Tech Corridor"Malin stuck with us through an extensive home search despite our lofty and specific criteria, unobtrusively helping us identify both potential and shortcomings among many candidates. He was always available to us and kept us fully informed, as if decoding each step of the process. Malin successfully advocated for us when we identified the need to back out of one deal deal, and further proved to be a savvy negotiator when we ultimately found our home. We are very grateful for his patience, dedication, and personal attention."
- Jamie and Brad Richards"It is with great pleasure and privilege to recommend Donna Sehler of McEnearney Associates as your agent. I recently relocated to the Northeast for a new job and was tasked with the sale of my current home in Northern Virginia. I contacted McEnearney Associates as they were very highly rated and within a few hours, I received a telephone call and email from Donna. Within the week, the house was on the market. As my schedule was extremely busy with work and relocation details,Donna took the helm and I was confident I had chosen the best person for the job. Donna was always available via telephone, whether it was to discuss showings or just to help deal with the stress of relocating. The level of trust I felt was almost immediate. I am happy to say my home sold within the needed time-frame and truly believe it was because of Donna. I highly recommend Donna Sehler as your best choice for a real estate agent who excels in customer service and representation."
- Shelley Sabo"We had the pleasure of working with Kristin to find our first home. Kristin was straightforward, not pushy, and provided a smooth experience for us. She was very patient and informative. The best part of working with Kristin was her availability and flexibility (especially for people like us who mostly get time for home search only late evenings/nights). She was always available over the weekends. Just like Kristin was referred to us by my manager, I would certainly recommend her."
- Urja and Nishidh Bhansali"Santiago is personable and knowledgeable of the real estate market. He is trustworthy, very professional and an effective negotiator. He kept us informed throughout the process and made house hunting fun. We love our new home in Falls Church."
- Taran & Rylan (Source)"Santiago helped us find our first home, for which we are very grateful. As a result of the responsive and excellent service we received from Santiago in buying our condo in Dupont Circle, we have recommended him to family and friends. We continue to recommend him without hesitation whenever the topic of real estate arises. He displays the utmost professionalism. - Jordan & Ritu"
- Jordan & Ritu (Source)"When we moved from downtown DC to Chevy Chase, Santiago helped us find the ideal house for our family. When we moved outside the DC metro area, we worked with him again to sell it. Santiago knows the market and is consistently professional and personable. --Colin"
- Colin Lennon (Source)"Santiago helped us in selling our previous home in Chevy Chase and in buying our current one in Bethesda. He is straightforward in his recommendations and he knows the market well. I continue to refer business to him. --Susan"
- Brian & Susan (Source)"Jackie is a truly amazing Real Estate professional! She is smart (knows the business), savvy (understands what works and what does not), patient (lets the customer drive the timeline), disciplined (stays focused, on time and always follows through), works friendly (incredibly nice, cheerful and caring) and honest (impeccable character). We give Jackie our highest recommendation!"
- B & J Weida, Buyers"Jackie is a complete professional who knows the complex business process of selling real estate while also understanding the human and emotional side of selling a home. We received a good offer on our house during the first week it was on the market and successfully closed within six weeks. We strongly recommend you talk to Jackie if you are thinking about selling your home."
- C & D Brumbaugh, Sellers"When we relocated from NYC to the DC area, our broker in NY referred us to Karen to help us get settled in the DC area. While we interviewed other brokers who came highly recommended by friends in the area, we decided to stick with Karen primarily because she seemed like someone we could trust both on a personal and professional level. Karen turned out to be an invaluable resource for us in both prospecting and evaluating listed properties to make sure each home met all of our criteria as well as Karen's given her knowledge of the area and the market. Overall, Karen is the highest quality agent we have ever experienced and, therefore, confident in recommending her to anyone in the market!"
- cwl1103"We found Karen via a listing on a home. She answered our call right away and arranged a time on short notice to meet us. It was late in the day, but she arranged it. She quizzed us and engaged us. We knew that she was perfect for us right then and there. No other agent went out of his or her way the way Karen did. She is a star; she anticipated the next step even before the next step was clear and helped illuminate a path for us. No matter what we threw at her, she was always able to find a resource for us. She never once gave up nor seemed flustered, or frustrated; she made it all come together. We highly, highly recommend her."
- Elly Flippen"Client, Buyer My wife and I set out on an adventure a couple of years ago to sell our existing home and to build a custom home. Karen stood by us every step of the way and was amazingly enthusiastic. We first threw at her the challenge of selling a unique townhome in the Tyson's Corner area in Spring 2009 right after the Metro construction started and a major stock market correction the previous Fall. The house fortunately sold for what we felt was the highest price that we could expect. Karen then showed us a number of properties and we finally settled on a lot in Vienna. However, she not only helped on the negotiations of the lot with a builder who was extremely hostile and unprofessional (which she dealt with in an extremely profession manner) but she also voluntarily attended almost every meeting that we had with our architect to design the home from a blank piece of paper. Again, always very enthusiastic and extremely helpful in pointing out design features that would add value from a resale perspective. In my mind her efforts went WELL ABOVE the call of duty. Another positive note was that Karen was always within easy access and without failure always promptly returned our calls. So in my mind Karen is an invaluable asset and a terrific member of your team if you need a realtor."
- david_l_johnson_1999"Client, Buyer We have come back to Karen time and time again for our housing needs. We listed and sold our townhouse with Karen the same weekend it was on the market. She helped us find a new home with the amenities that we were looking for and that we had almost given up on. She has an engaging personality and is friendly and easy to work with. She is a true professional and has a reputation for excellence in the DC area. We refer her to family and friends every chance that we get. I can't recommend her enough!"
- tamtam123"Client, Seller Karen knows the McLean market very well and quickly matched a family to buy our home. She is very professional and has great energy without being pushy. I strongly recommend her."
- J. K. Sliwinski"It would have been impossible for any agent to have exceeded Betsy's level of service. She hung in there through mold & the Buyer's 11th hour loss of financing. Betsy kept "the train on the track" - she was terrific."
- M.K."I didn't want to put away my file on the sale of 403 Huntfield in Leesburg until I dropped you both an email letting you know how extremely pleased I was to work with your agent, Jo-Ann Hoovler. Jo-Ann not only is a very sweet, caring person, but also a highly competent real estate agent. I was selling in Va. after having purchased a home in S. Carolina, moving there weeks before the closing in Va. Jo-Ann made my long-distance sale easier that most of my local sales (five in number at this point). Actually, she had to sell my home twice since the first contract fell through. She not only did an excellent job of completing the sale, but went far beyond, handling details such as disposing of several awkward pieces of furniture and mailing me a few forgotten items. I've thanked Jo-Ann, but please thank her again for me. I would strongly recommend your company, and Jo-Ann in particular, to anyone buying or selling a home in Loudoun County. Peggy"
- Peggy"My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Mike Makris to find our new home in the DC area. Mike was everything a professional should be: knowledgeable, reliable, and thorough. But most important to us was his ability to really listen to what we wanted and needed in a new home. When we could not find exactly what we wanted in DC, Mike was willing and able to rethink our search and find us a wonderful house in Virginia. We would definitely work with Mike if we ever needed to move again."
- D. Green"I enjoyed working with Santiago very much. As a picky buyer, Santiago was very patient and accommodating. He constantly provided me with market information, which I found very helpful in my decision-making. Furthermore, Santiago is detailed-oriented and organized that he sent out remainders to me for the important deadlines throughout the process. Most importantly, Santiago is caring and kind. I did not just find myself an agent, but I have gained a friend."
- Sylvia (Source)"Thank you for being you. You are the best and a great friend"

- Carole"I just wanted to say thanks again for all of your hard work. We really appreciate it and we LOVE the new house. We couldn't have done it without you. Thank you for moving so fast...and also for your fabulous negotiating skills. It was because of your instincts that we were successful in this impossible whirlwind house buying adventure! Finally thank you for talking us down during the emotionally charged home buying/selling period. You were our Rock."

- PR"Sue was very professional, personable and very diligent. It was very pleasant to work with her. In many occasions, she went out of her way to accommodate us and we are very pleased with the service she has provided us. We would recommend her to our friends and family!"
- Y.K."Sue Dickerson has been an active force in every real estate venture I have undertaken in the past 10 plus years. Not only for my interests personally, although there have been several, but also for all of my family and friends. When I need information on any real estate concern or a question on either the sales or rental market in the Northern Virginia area I call Sue. Within minutes her timely, informative and thorough response is provided in her professional, friendly, pleasant manner. I count on her probably more than she realizes and recommend her constantly to others needing asistance in the real estate market. I have no doubt I will use her expertise in future and depend on her extensive knowledge to guide any and all real estate decisions."
- Ana S."Susan really knows the area where I lived. She was professional, patient, friendly. Really had good suggestions about staging and decorating. Was savvy about pricing and negotiating. She sold my house in three weeks!"
- M.G.A."We worked with Sue to sell one home and, in a very short amount of time, locate and purchase another. This was a difficult time for us but with Sue's optimism, perseverance, knowledge and contacts, the process was seamless and much easier for us. The house she found for us was just coming on the market and it was through her many contacts that she was able to find exactly what we wanted. We would recommend her highly!"
- Ann and Don D."We have worked with Sue Dickerson on both buying and selling homes. She has been wonderful to work with, very responsive and knowledgeable. And, I know I have gotten stressed out on several occasions in dealing with all that comes with buying and selling a home. She was always right there. In a very competitive market she is level headed and provides great advice on pricing and marketing. If I ever needed an agent again....it would be Sue!"
- Gretchen S., Larry B"As a recently retired realtor myself and "knowing the business", I comfortably give great credit to Santiago: he monitored the market for us, kept us posted on new offerings, and alerted us immediately to the availability of the unit we settled on. We thus were able to see it and place an offer on it even before the first open house. That's really good work, I know from experience. Santiago's perseverance in finding us what we were looking for, his sagacious advice during the purchase process, and very importantly, his willing sacrifice of his personal time to accommodate us, are entirely to his credit. If you are looking for an exceptional real estate sales professional to represent your property, I can not recommend Santiago more highly. We have been so very impressed with him, and we will continue to use him"
- Ellen (Source)"Excellent, a true experienced professional who would go out of her way to do the best for her customers. Linda is Excellent in her person-reading skills. She is very effective in getting the buyers and sellers to come out with the best terms for each."
- I.F."Linda was outstanding to work with. She knows the market, has great contacts, actively helps solve issues. Best agent we have worked with in 32 years."
"Elena was very proactive in finding houses for us and always gave us things to look for when examining houses"
"Excellent! We are delighted to have had the good fortune to find Elena. She brought just the right measure of calm to a tedious sale. Short sale."
"Elena is a pleasure to work with She quickly understood my needs and found the "perfect" home"
"Elena has excellent knowledge of the market and resale values with a warm touch. I have already referred her."
"Extremely through, proactive, and a pleasure to deal with. I would not purchase another property without Elena's assistance"
"She was extremely attentive to every aspect of my home search and purchase. Her experience in building a strategy enabled me to buy a home in a really tough market."
"We loved Elena and we had tried three other agents and didn't like working with any of them. Elena's attention to detail is impeccable. Thank you for making our move a smooth transition."
"Elena has represented us in 4 real estate transactions. She has always given us exemplary service Elena went way beyond the call in her help to me. She has integrity and I would always use her."
"Elena was working to find us a home before we knew who she was. Elena made us feel well taken care of and did not pressure us to make a decision we were not ready to make. She gave us very helpful information about neighborhoods and homes"
"Outstanding service. Very professional, very dedicated agent. Excellent advice in preparing property for sale. Through follow-up on all prospective buyers. Continued Advice on developments even after the house was sold"
"Linda took all the pressure from my shoulders. I wanted to list at a lower price, but Linda did a really good market analysis, had her office preview the home, called some other agents and came up with a higher price, she was absolutely right. The first three days we had a contract. That did not work out but in two weeks we had a very good contract with an excellent backup contract. The situation was difficult, but Linda was superb. She was firm, professional, and handled all of the problems along the way, in a very smooth and soothing manner. Marketing of the property was excellent, with lovely photos ending up with mailings and a brochure. I even sent my family in England pictures of my home. I have known Linda for many years and, of course, have known she is wonderful at her job, but when it is your own home it is very different because of the emotional turmoil. I cannot thank her enough for doing what she always does so well and understand why her many clients lover her so much. I would willingly use her again and refer her to anyone I can. She really cares, and that is what makes her so special."
- J.S."Linda was very timely in her response back to the client. Always available, attentive, and readily willing to work with the client to provide solutions. I found Linda very easy to work with. She made my real estate transaction an enjoyable process."

- Marian"As a first time home buyer we couldn't have asked for someone better than Santiago. From our first meeting to the day we closed, we were always given straightforward and realistic advice. Santiago was actively involved in the negotiations and available throughout the closing process. Given his deep knowledge of real estate we would recommend him as anyone's realtor in the future. Fabulous choice!"
- Ludovic (Source)"Noel helped my wife and me find our dream home after visiting just a handful of houses. She was extremely helpful for us first-time home buyers by explaining the process thoroughly along every step of the way. With her guidance, the process was so much less stressful than we had imagined it ever could be. She also helped us to secure a highly sought-after home in our first bid. We were very pleased with the entire process. Thanks again Noel!"
- David G."Noel is an absolute miracle worker. I am a military officer, and we had a very tight window in which to ready the house, show it, and then close a deal. It was only through Noel's extensive connections to top-notch contractors that we were able to ready the house, and then through her marketing genius we secured a buyer in less than a week. Noel then preserved the deal when a financing issue and an unexpected maintenance issue cropped up. Bottom line, I can't imagine a better agent through which to buy or sell a house and I will work with her again if we move back to DC."
- Aaron D."Our family is settling back into our normal routines. Soon hope to be finished with all of the red tape which comes along at such times. We wanted to thank you ever so much for all of the assistance you afforded us. I see why Lyle and Cindi recommended you without reservation (I will). Not living in the area placed us at a disadvantage. You were our lynch pin. We could not have succeeded without your help."
- Out-of town Family of parent who passed away locally"I don't think Steve and I ever properly thanked you for all the work you put into the selling and purchasing of our old and new home. After spending months being turned off by the people we met in the real estate community, meeting you and working with you was a true pleasure. Your professional manner, as well as your sincere concern and attention to detail was not only refreshing but was the reassurance we needed to take the plunge. The negotiations were not easy, and the final day of settlement was not quite as simple as we had hoped, but your contacts and quick actions allowed us to bring the entire day to closure so we could spend that first night in our new house. It was truly remarkable."
- Clients selling and purchasing on the same day"I just wanted to thank Ann very sincerely for her exceptional service during my first home purchase. Her attentiveness and patience were comforting and appreciated, and she made the process an enjoyable and rewarding experience."
- Angie C."Betty Mallon and McEnearney Associates exceeded our expectations. Betty taught us a lot about purchasing an older home and she was more than willing to meet us at the property multiple times."
- Christopher & Tracy - Braddock Heights"Thank you...for being there for us throughout this entire process. We were lucky to find you, Joan! Your wise counsel and friendship have been so important to us as we navigated these transactions. So, THANK YOU. Anyone who knows you can tell that this is more than a job to you."
- L.P."I highly recommend Mary Roberge as a REALTOR with all the skills and knowledge needed to help you get a great deal in the home you are looking for! Earlier this year Mary Roberge helped us buy our new home near Leesburg. Her extensive knowledge and love of the area, depth of understanding of value, ability at negotiation, and patience while we worked through more than a year of selling our home in California and moving to Virginia really helped us tremendously. Mary helped us look at all the options over a very wide area, helped narrow down to what was not only possible but also reasonable and fit our parameters; overall, a great experience. Cheers, Cynthia"
- Cynthia & Ed Austin, Paeonian Springs, VA (and a Great Falls, VA Purchase)"We purchased our home in Adamstown, Maryland. Mary Roberge was our realtor and we highly recommend her. When we were searching for our home, I was traveling from Delaware with a 2 year old and a 4 year old while my husband was working and staying in Virginia. Mary helped us navigate a stressful and difficult situation from purchasing our home long distance, to scheduling inspections, and handling situations with a challenging finance company. Her knowledge and input helped us find a beautiful home and make it ours."
- Martha and Eytan Moked, Adamstown, MD"We had a wonderful experience selling our home with Mary! She was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and available. When we ran into some issues with our tenant, Mary handled them with grace and tact and gave us excellent advice. She has a large network of contacts that she drew upon to help us with the sale, from lawyers to handymen. She is also personable and upbeat--key qualities when you are buying or selling a home. My husband and I highly recommend Mary and would definitely work with her again. Sharon in Ashburn, VA"
- Sharon Boivin"On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Military Officers Association of America Scholarship Fund, thank you for all you have done for Mrs. Wilbraham! I commend you for going the extra mile to ensure her home was handled in a most professional manner. Your personal attention to detail and commitment in handling the sale of her condominium made all the difference... It has been a pleasure doing business with you and I wish you a most prosperous future."
- VADM Norbert Ryan, Jr., USN (Ret)"Jodie Burns is a true gem in the world of real estate. From the first meeting until the house was sold and settled, Jodie was the best. Totally honest in pricing the property. Great suggestions for inexpensive fixes and staging to make the house attractive. Excellent written marketing plan. Amazing ability to comunicate with prospective buyers. And did I say? She sold the house in less than a week. You can't ask for anything more!"
- Ken E."After searching high and low for a realtor we could trust, we met Patty at an Open House and instantly felt a connection with her. In less than a month, she found us the perfect house and as first time buyer's, held our hands and helped to ease our fears every step of the way. Due to a job relocation, Patty helped us to then sell our house just six months later - after only being on the market for 3 days. Patty truly goes above and beyond-introducing us to an amazing pediatrician, (her own) in our new neighborhood, keeping us in the loop durning the day and late into the night during the selling process, lending us lamps to help stage and even genuinely and lovingly comforting our crying daughter on several occasions during her frequent home visits to check on us during the selling process. We can't say enough great things about her and the incredible impact she had on our family. In Patty, we have found a friend and trusted advisor. We recommend her to everyone we know looking to buy or sell a house as a potential friend and an excellent source for all real estate matters."
- Ellen & Sunjay"I write to praise Michael Makris for his extraordinary service to me. I called McEnearney cold in mid-October and was referred to Mike. Our home in Hollin Hills had been on the market since March. I retired end of May, and my retirement financial plan was premised upon the sale of our house. Its sale would end that mortgage, and profit from it also would enable us to pay off the mortgage on our retirement home. Over 8 months we grew increasingly frustrated with our initial realtors, whom we found too passive and insufficiently communicative. From my first conversation with Mike, we found him exactly the opposite. He saw that selling the home as promptly as possible was our top priority, and persuaded us to make a few modest cosmetic improvements and to lower the price sharply. We signed with him on November 1, 2012, and he attacked the sales challenge like a dynamo. On the same evening that we signed our agreement, Mike had to drive to Wisconsin to see his dying grandfather; however, he stayed in touch by phone and computer all weekend. He arranged the cosmetic improvements, and produced special circulars and ads featuring our house's new lower price. He also held open houses on successive weekends. We spoke several times a week, and frequently exchanged emails. We got a contract offer on November 21, after less than three weeks on the market! After some negotiation, Mike called me on Thanksgiving morning - from Wisconsin, where he'd gone to bury his grandfather and have a family reunion - to tell us a deal was in place. We had much to be thankful for. Mike's service didn't end there, as over the next several weeks there were numerous small things that needed to be taken care of around the home, and Mike arranged for them to be done...including, climbing a ladder himself to clear a roof drain of falling leaves. Mike won our confidence from the start. He was sharp, focused, friendly, persuasive, energetic, communicative and effective. He stayed on top of our sale from day one through the close, and kept us fully informed. I think he is truly exceptional; McEnearney is fortunate to employ him."
- R. Rankin"We have worked with Patty on 5 home sale/purchases over the past 15 years. From our first "starter home" as an engaged couple to our current home with our two sons, Patty has been with us every step of the way and is always wonderful to work with. Her years of experience in the Washington DC area real estate market gives her clients a peace of mind knowing she is on top of the latest inventory and trends. We have referred Patty to family members and friends and everyone with whom she has worked has been impressed. We feel very fortunate to call Patty a friend as well as our outstanding realtor!"
- Dillon & Tom"Karen was an excellent agent for our first home purchase. She showed extensive knowledge of the Northern Virginia market (i.e. Arlington, Falls Church, McLean). She always responded to emails, calls and texts within minutes anytime of day. Karen was always enthusiastic and was very helpful throughout the home buying process. I would highly recommend Karen to anyone in need of a real estate pro."
- Stephen H."Carolyn and I could not be more pleased with the quality of the service you provided to us during the recent sale of our Alexandria home. Your detailed knowledge of the market and the process exceeded our expectations. In addition, your good cheer was most helpful to us in dealing with the normal course of the of the events leading to the closing. Thank you for a job well done."
- Mark S, Seller"We had the great pleasure of meeting and working with Jo-Ann Hoovler as our realtor during our recent relocation to New Hampshire. Immediately we could tell that Jo-Ann was someone who really cared about her clients. She not only did the required steps to get an offer and close on our house within 60 days, but went above and beyond to ensure we got the optimum resale on our house. What impressed us most about Jo-Ann was her friendly and warm personality, attention to detail, follow-up, and most of all her willingness to help in any way that she could. She was very dependable, always available to us and made a very stressful event so much easier. We would not hesitate to recommend Jo-Ann to any of our family or friends and anybody else looking for that high-quality personal attention in buying or selling their home."
- Walt and Vivian Paskowski"Lauren led us through the sale of our first home in Old Town Alexandria as well as the acquisition of (literally) our dream house in Belle Haven. Through the whole process, she was responsive, proactive in reaching out to potential buyers, and provided a calming influence and understanding nature to a very emotional process. Lauren would go the extra mile to scout out properties in advance, provide detailed research and comparisons of the neighborhoods we were considering, and develop relationships with other agents to often give us what felt like the inside track. Through it all, she assured us that it would all work out in the end - and it certainly did! We couldn't be happier with the results of our house sale and purchase of our new home."
- Marc and Katrina"After working with a couple of real estate agents and not connecting with them, I contacted Lauren after meeting her at an open house. From the very beginning, her positive attitude and reassurance kept me at ease during what could be a very stressful process. Lauren was proactive in finding new homes and by contacting potential sellers in the condominium complex I desired. At times when I did not believe anything would come up on the market that satisfied my requirements, Lauren kept me focused on finding my first home in Old Town and not settling for just any place. Unlike other agents, she wasn't interested in just making a sale; she really cared about my happiness. Always the consummate professional, Lauren was there to answer my questions, calm my concerns, and give her honest opinion about anything I asked. I have and will continue to recommend friends and acquaintances to contact Lauren Bishop when they are ready to purchase a new home! Alissa Kachinski, Old Town Alexandria Resident"
- Alissa Kachinski"Lauren is a very reliable and hardworking agent. She kept in touch with me on a regular basis. I always felt well informed of the steps and developments throughout the buying and selling process. Overall, a very good experience working with her!"
- Donna"We had the pleasure of working with Lauren Bishop in the sale of our family's home. Lauren is a classic! She is bright, professional and probably the most responsive realtor you will ever find. She worked tirelessly to market our home, supporting us in every aspect of the sale - from staging, to showings and open houses, to keeping us constantly informed of the market status and new entries to the MLS. We felt that we had a trusted partner in Lauren throughout the entire process and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a stellar person and realtor to represent their home!"
- Renee H."We interviewed five prospective agents for selling our home and were immediately impressed by Colleen Coopersmith. Whereas the others treated our home as if it was a standard model no different from others in the neighborhood, Colleen recognized that it was on a choice lot with exterior and interior upgrades that made it distinct. Colleen conducted a detailed market comparison and recommended a listing price, which a buyer offered on the first day that our home was on the market. Amazingly, the time between our selection of Colleen to represent us and the receipt of this full price offer was just one month, which included the holidays. Their marketing strategy centered upon the relationship among the upgraded interior, unique landscaping features, and the woods backing the house, and emphasized a serene, relaxing setting. This was visually captured in stunning interior and exterior photos supported by a narrative capturing the features that we believe give our home a unique personality. Colleen provided sound advice for, and assisted with, home staging preparations that created a warm, welcoming environment that virtually all of the nearly sixty visitors at the open house highly praised. Because of her direct participation, the preparations for staging were simple, short, and inexpensive. What we most appreciated was her hard work, attention to important details, and continuous personal involvement at each step of the process. She kept us fully aware of the competition and precisely timed the placement of our home on the market, achieving maximum sales advantage to us. Colleen made multiple visits to our home to advise on options for staging, to monitor the progress of painting and the placement of furniture and furnishings, and to ensure that the photographer captured the unique features of our home. In addition, she was in continuous communication with us, demonstrating a tremendous sense of commitment to selling our home at the best price and with the least complication. Her responses to our questions were nearly instantaneous. We knew that they were working hard on our behalf and felt completely at ease entrusting them with the sale of the home where we have happily lived for over 23 years. We recommend her without hesitation and feel very fortunate to be the beneficiaries of her customer commitment, work ethic, and sound judgment. She was completely professional, yet her warm personalities and sense of humor made working with her a true pleasure. You can do no better than choosing Colleen Coopersmith."
- Margot G."There are a lot of qualified real estate agents out there. But Colleen Coopersmith is much more. She had a deep understanding of the local and regional market and the underlying financial trends that have an impact on those markets. And perhaps just as importantly, she is a walking welcome wagon, who makes her Rolodex available to clients, whether it is for home repairs, making introductions to neighbors, or babysitter recommendations. There is no problem too small -- or too big -- for her to handle."
- Cathy C."Colleen is a super-woman realtor, who both sold our home for over asking price AND found us the perfect new home. She gave us all the right advice on how to get our home staged and ready for listing and then gave us insightful guidance through all of the steps to closure. If, or when, we are ready to sell or buy again, we will definitely call Colleen!"
- Susan S."Colleen did a great job in selling my Condo in a difficult time. She was a real partner and helped us navigate some difficult waters. She is a great agent and would be happy to engage her again!"
- Andrea H."If you are looking for a property in Old Town Alexandria, Colleen is your agent!"
- Tracy L."Colleen has an intimate familiarity with almost all historical homes in Old Town Alexandria where she has lived for almost 20 years. She is very close to the community and well known within it. She has raised her children there and has extensive knowledge of everything the area offers in terms of education, recreation, cultural events, history, and social opportunities. She is also a licensed interior decorator and has the perfect eye for elements of staging homes and renovating them stylishly. An extremely hard worker, she is completely dependable in meeting all her professional commitments, friendly, and is very well respected by other agents with whom she has constant interaction about the market. Although Old Town is a natural area of emphasis for her, she is equally at ease in the Belle Haven, the West End, and Rosemont communities of Alexandria as well as North Arlington. For anyone looking for real estate advice relative to buying or selling a home in these communities, Colleen would be an excellent choice as either a seller's or buyer's agent. She has personally sold me two homes in Old Town and has given invaluable advice and assistance in both transactions, which were conducted smoothly and efficiently by her in all respects."
- Jim C."Colleen is a consummate professional. She was the agent on the purchase of our home in Virginia. She spent hours showing us properties, emailing attractive listing as quickly as they came on the market so each visit was productive. However, she best demonstrated her expertise by helping push our agent on the sale of our home in New York. Best of all, she was truly fun to work with!"
- Joan P."We worked with Kate last year to purchase our first home, and the entire process was positive. She was extremely accommodating, and made herself readily available to us through email, over the phone, and in-person. Once we found the right place, she was really great with the negotiation process from start to finish. We truly felt that she had our best interest in mind and worked to get us the best deal possible. Kate's a true professional, and is outstanding at what she does. I'd highly recommend her to prospective home buyers."
- George and Linda"I have the distinct pleasure to provide a letter of reference for Marcia Bowlds. I have know and worked with Ms. Bowlds since 2007, during which time I was exremely impressed....During my 32 year career with the Department of Defense I have rarely had the pleasure of partnering with an individual of Ms. Bowld's intelligence, insight, rapid problem-solving dedication and leadership.. Ms. Bowlds shared years of experience advocating the needs of military families at local, state, and national levels.... She has volunteered to serve a large and diverse memebership which supported the local community through welfare, scholarship and numerous action committees. ... She demonstrates a rare ability to put others at ease and engage them in meaningul dialogue and productive activity. I would highly recommend Ms. Bowlds and her many talents. Sondra Albano Ph.D."
- Sondra Albano Ph.D."Betty Mallon did a wonderful job, especially at the end when there were numerous issues and the potential of a delayed closing. She made things happen!"
- Debra Sheehy"As first-time home buyers, we were very nervous about the overall process of searching for a home in D.C. Without a real idea of what we wanted or what we could afford, we relied heavily on our realtor to help us through the process. Kate held our hands through the whole process. She was patient, informative and always available for consultation. She found us a beautiful home and we couldn't be happier!"
- Noah and Dana"Kate was easy to deal with and responsive to our needs during the home buying process. As first time home buyers, Kate made us feel like she was always protecting our best interest. She was knowledgeable about the area we bought in and guided us to make a strong negotiating strategy. Further, Kate helped solve problems that arose during the closing process. We recommend prospective home buyers to use Kate Hennigan."
- Sean and Molly"We were completely satisfied with the level of service that Patty gave to us on the sale of our home and assisting us with the purchase of a new home that was new construction. Her knowledge of both processes was phenomenal. She was always there when we had a question and the answers were always promptly given. It was apparent she had her finger on the pulse of the local real estate market. We loved working with Patty and we would highly recommend her to anyone the is looking to buy or sell their home!"
- Janine & Paul""Santiago procured tenants for our house in the Kent neighborhood of NW DC in 2014. He did it professionally and in a very pleasant and efficient way. This was especially valuable for us as we currently live outside of the USA. He is still ensuring our property is continually rented."
- Kari (Source)"Thank you for all the hard work, time and effort you put forth the past 4 months in helping me find the home that met "all" my requirements. Price, location, view ( golf, river and woods) ... and of course, the "Donald Trump" negotiating skills you demonstrated to meet the selling price I was looking for at (removed for privacy). The trifecta! . . . . You were a true professional and answered every call and responded with detailed emails to all my questions- and I truly appreciate your patience, support and counsel. . . . Your energy, passion, knowledge in the real estate market, attention to detail, and empathy is something that I recognize and truly appreciate. . . . I will absolutely recommend you to all friends and contacts looking for a property. You are a superstar! Kerry in Ashburn, VA"
- Kerry Mullin in Ashburn (Listing and Purchase)"Thank you Bob for making an experience I was dreading a piece of cake."
- Charles Roddy"Mary and I are thrilled with our new home. You helped us immeasurably."

- Betty Moran"Thank you for making the sale of our old house and the purchase of our new house a quick and painless experience."
- Chris Mitchell"Mike helped me purchase my first home. I searched for one and a half years, visiting some properties multiple times. Mike was patient with me the entire time. He was a valuable resource throughout the process, providing the advice and knowledge that I needed. I will use Mike again and would refer him to friends and family."
- D. Pullion"Chris has excellent listening skills. She carried our requests to finalize the offer on our house. Her positive characteristics include her coolness and her honesty."
- LTN"Chris is outstanding - understanding our needs, addressed concerns, extremely professional and responsive!! She is the BEST realtor we have ever worked with!"
- CA"She is the most well informed, savvy, and pleasant agent that I've worked with. I always feel as if she has my best interests at heart and that the buying/selling process will go smoothly. I will turn to her for all of my real estate needs."
- ML"It was a pleasure working with Chris. She is a very good listener, very knowledgeable, detail oriented, transparent, forthright, and action oriented. We will recommend her to others."
- MH"We are Susan's clients from overseas. Susan was very helpful, trustworthy, patient, and always in an enthusiastic mood. She was very communicative and kept us on track during the entire process. This is very important since we are not there in States. Her positive pressure and keeping us on track while providing a solution to the situation was excellent. We do not think that all agents possess that personality. We do not think that without her our deal could have been settled and closed. We are very lucky to have had Susan since the beginning (we bought the recently sold property through her years ago). We highly reccommend Susan. Thank you Susan for all of your time. Our big family appreciates it very much. We do hope that we can see you when we come to States for our vacation. Wish you all best of luck for your career. You are the best agent! Let's keep in touch."
- D"Barbara showed exceptional care and focus on helping me accomplish a relatively rushed home purchase."
- Brandon"Excellent service. Exceeded expectations."
- Charles"We can't thank you enough for all you've done to make our first home purchase possible. You were a pleasure to work with and we will definitely give you a ring if we're back on the market."
- Charlie & Kate"You did a great job. It is always so much more pleasant working with someone who keeps the ultimate goal in mind."
- Monique"I think the key phrase (and quality that you possess) is being a high caliber agent."
- Kevin""My husband's tolerance for realtors is non-existent. Then, he met Annette and was immediately won over by her expertise, deep knowledge of Old Town, and dry sense of humor. Although our search extended beyond a year as we were moving from out of town, Annette found the perfect property for us, meeting almost all of our criteria.""
- Kay C. and William P."Bay's performance was outstanding. She knew her stuff, was always completely professional, and worked hard to get things done. I could not recommend her more highly."
- Jim DeLong, Washington, DC"Mary was a joy to work with! I have to say that she went above and beyond her responsibilities when she took on our home after we relocated. We decided to do a lot of improvements from new tile in the kitchen and baths, granite counters, cooktop & sink in the kitchen, paint, carpets and landscaping. I was not able to stay to see that the work was completed but she joyfully took on the task of letting contractors in and out, referred some contractors to us that she had worked with before, put a rush on the photography of our home for the ad (so that we could quickly get the house on the market) and called almost everyday to keep us up to date. Plus this was all being done the week before Christmas to add to the stress, yet she was never flustered and did everything with a smile. Because of her help we were able to get our house under contract only six days after putting it on the market and closed 4 weeks later and got 97% of our asking price! You can't ask for more than that!!"
- Bev and Randy Janka"Laurel Conger is a FULL SERVICE Realtor When we decided to put our house on the market, she was at our house helping us make sure that our house was going to look our best. She helped us find a contractor to get everything in shape. And she checked in with us regularly to make sure we were comfortable with the process. But most importantly she priced the house right and we had a buyer in just over a week! Whenever we have real estate needs, we will use Laurel!"
- Rosie W, Seller"My husband and I cannot thank Annette enough for all of the work and guidance she provided during the process of searching for and purchasing our townhouse in Old Town Alexandria. After spending hours searching for homes online, it became very clear that we would need to work with a professional realtor in the area. We met with four realtors before signing with Annette and choosing to work with her is the best decision we could have made. Annette completely understood what we were looking for in a new home. She tirelessly answered our questions about the area and expertly coached us on home buying strategies in Old Town, which are VERY different than what we were used to. In the end, we completely relied on her extensive network to find us our perfect home. With little to no inventory available, Annette proactively reached out to potential sellers and was able to show us three different properties before they were officially listed on the market. We strongly feel that without Annette's strong network, we would never have had been able to purchase our dream home on the exact block we were targeting. Annette advocated for us throughout the entire contract process, and coordinated the mortgage and title companies that she recommended, which made the purchasing process easier than we could have hoped for. Even after our closing, she continues to be an amazing resource and has answered questions we have had on everything from recommending contractors to vets. If you are looking for a professional who will go above and beyond to find you the exact home you are looking for, then I would recommend calling Annette today."
- Alex M and Audra F"Bay's ability to negotiate has saved a lot of money! I've enjoyed working with her on different projects which bring great results. She's quick to respond and always had the information I needed."
- Seabreeze Osburn, Reston, Virginia"Thanks so much for (your) help, this haul away item is one of many that you have been so helpful to us and we are very grateful. Bob, without your assistance in so many ways, from Carla's memorial service to the mountain of recycle bags, transport of the car, vigilance over the house and final sale of the house, it would have been much more difficult for us. You are a true professional and very personable to those you surround in your life. Thank you, thank you!"
- Robert Scearce"Daniel and Tracy helped us buy our house almost a year ago. Throughout the process, they went above and beyond, making sure that we only saw houses that fit our pretty stringent standards. They are very good listeners. Daniel was especially helpful during the protracted price negotiations, and we ended up spending less than we had budgeted for a nicer place than we had expected. We are very happy with the way the process went, very happy with the house, and very, very happy with the Piersons. This is the third place I've bought and I wish I had had them representing me for the first two. Best buyer's agents I have ever dealt with."
"I couldn't imagine a better experience with a Realtor than when Daniel helped my wife and I buy our home in Falls Church (Fairfax County). During the entire process Daniel was exceptionally patient; he showed us many houses that fell within our search parameters until we found found a home that not only met, but exceeded our expectations in terms of condition, price and location. I am sure that his willingness to find us an exceptional value can be shown in the the fact that even in this period of generally flat growth our house recently appraised for $100,000 higher than we bought it for (for refinancing). Even long after the closing, Daniel continues to be helpful in terms of making recommendations for contractors and general information about the housing market. Because he lives in Northern Virginia he is in touch with what it means to live and work here."
"Tracy Pierson was the buyer's agent for my recent purchase of a home in Alexandria. It had been a while since I was involved in a real estate transaction, so a few things had changed. Tracy is extremely knowledgable and organized. Without Tracy's guidance, we might not have even obtained the buyer's agreement on the offer. Closing the purchase was a little complicated because of the results of the inspector's findings and the lender's appraisal. Again, Tracy's knowledge, organization, and negotiation skills came into play and the outcomes were very satisfying. Tracy is completely professional. Also, on some matters Daniel had some great advice which we followed. After the sale, Tracy continued to followup with us and has continued to have good recommendations. I would highly recommend Tracy and Daniel to any serious buyer or seller."
"My wife and I could not be more satisfied with our recent home purchase. Daniel and Tracy Pierson made the process so enjoyable. From our initial meeting to the closing they demonstrated a consistent understanding of the home-buying process. They were extremely responsive and thoughtful. They took the time to understand what we were looking for in a home and communicated effectively with the sellers, lender, and settlement company. We felt at ease through the entire process and we attribute that to their relational approach. We could not recommend them more highly!"

This is home... and we thank you."

- Jim"We can't thank you enough for all that you did to help us buy our new home. Thank you for your patience, expertise, and willingness to drive us all over in pursuit of our perfect home. Thank you also for arranging and overseeing the popcorn ceiling removal. What a relief to have that done in advance of moving in."
"Thank you so much for all of your help and hard work. Even through this atypical and tricky deal. You really guided us along and helped tremendously. You were so generous to offer to pay for the cleaning of our new house, but that is going above and beyond your responsibility. We do so appreciate your kindness! We truly love our new home and are so excited to welcome our new family member in 3 short months! Thank you again and please stay in touch!"

"Malin was great to work with, from always finding time to show us properties we were interested in (even during late or early hours) to being very knowledgeable about the market we were focused on. We not only found the perfect home but had expert guidance through the offer and contracting process. Malin made the home search and buying process stress free and fun. We'd definitely recommend him--and did-- to any friends in the market for a new home, and or weighing their options for home ownership."
- Virginia Hoekenga and Ahmed Hachim"Yolanda is an absolutely amazing agent to work with. She listened to our needs, worked diligently to find the listing, and adjusted quickly whenever we modified our search. She guided us through the whole process, and was very communicative and prompt in responses. We were able to find our house, and quickly went through the negotiation without much problems, and closed in a very smooth process, all thanks to her expertise and help. We certainly will recommend her to our friends who are thinking of buying or selling a house, and will certainly enroll her to our team again in the future. Please feel free to contact us if there is any question."
- Shih-Chun Lin, MD, PhD"My heart is just about overflowing with gratitude and respect for the superlative job that you have done on the sale of our house. It was, I think, for you-as well as for me- a rather major undertaking, filled with unknown sand-traps. But you are fabulously suited to your occupation, and I know you take pleasure in heading off the problems before they loom large, as well as dealing with the inevitable ones. The real estate world has become a much more demanding one than it was when I sold my own house in Sarasota decades ago. I am stunned by the things you need to know. But the real triumph is that of your judgement and your acute perceptions of the people you deal with. May you have many more successes, richly deserved. I am proud as can be to count you among my friends."
- Marge B.W."Do not hesitate to hire Catherine Davidson for any and all real estate transactions! She handled every phase of the sale of our home with the utmost professionalism and grace. Her ability to anticipate our needs and provide lightning-quick responses to even our most trivial inquiries was astounding. At the same time, she was a savvy and tenacious negotiator with the buyer's agent, effectively communicating our position at all times and keeping our best interests paramount. Should we ever move back to the DC area, our first call will be to Catherine Davidson!"
- Chris Witwer"After several years of trying to buy a very particular and difficult to find type of house and after being beaten out in negotiations for several different houses, I was lucky enough to contact Catherine Davidson. She helped me to see how I could make the winning bid using the assets I had to work with. She also gave me excellent advice as I worked to prepare my house of almost 30 years for sale, putting me in contact with her excellent collection of pros as needed and really pitching in herself at critical points so that the house was ready to show at the right time. She found the perfect buyer for the house I sold, a family that really "got" the house. I found that she excelled at negotiation as well, leaving us satisfied that our wishes had been heard and answered. I was amazed at how smoothly it all went. She was the agent I dealt with both when buying the new house and selling the old one and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is buying or selling."
- Mary Lovering"Catherine was clear on all the details to make this sale a success! Her expertise and experience make her the best realtor I know.

- Abdou Diopp"Catherine was a dream of a real estate agent........I felt it was as important to her that I find the right house as it was to me ! And that we did ! Also - When I needed to sell my parents' home that was out of Catherine's service area, she quickly hooked me up with an agent who could help me - another very competent person. I would recommend Catherine before I would recommend anyone else to potential home buyers that cross my path !"

- Melanie Joyce"Dear Mr. McEnearney, In the months of June and July 2011, your company handled two real estate transactions in Lake Barcroft Estates and Heritage Hunt on my behalf. I would like to thank you for the professional way your company orchestrated a quick settlement so that I could proceed to move to my new location in Gainesville. My thanks goes out to one agent in particular, Catherine Davidson. Catherine went out of her way to see that every detail was taken care of so that the two transactions went smoothly. It started with our initial interviews. Catherine's presentation was far more thorough and engaging. She made our choice easy. Through her continued support, from the staging, to the contract negotiations, and contract processing, she handled everything professionally and attentively. I was very impressed with her. In my fifty years of home building in the area, I have worked with many agents during the sales of our speculation houses. Catherine was far and above any of the agents I worked with. Her knack for taking care of the client is outstanding. She arranged settlement so that in four days both properties were settled and I was able to move the fifth day, which Catherine also arranged and supervised. I hope you congratulate her for the work she did This was a trying time in my life and she made the selling, buying, and moving effortless for me. This in itself was priceless to me. My many thanks to Catherine and your company."
- Matt Liberatore"Catherine completely met our expectations. She got a good price for our home in a weak market, quickly. I credit the work of Catherine for the success. She understands her sellers and does everything possible to meet their needs and get the job done. You're lucky to have her on your staff."
- Hara Bouganim"Catherine's expertise and devotion to selling our home was beyond our expectations. She's a true professional! It could not have gone better."
- Pete Nachajski"We continue to be in awe of your incredible ability to sale our rental property with the greatest of ease! You are the best Realtor anyone could ever HOPE for to handle such an important element of their lives.

- Leslie and Brian"Catherine, you made this such an enjoyable process. Thanks for your initiative and hard work!"
- Elizabeth and Chris"It was a very lucky day for me when a friend introduced me to Yolanda. She is wonderful to work with and really knows the neighborhood. My house went on the market on Friday and we closed offers on Monday. We had a number of good offers and received $40,000 more than we asked for. At the same time, Yolanda found me a fantastic condo and we paid less than the asking price. You can't beat the service she provides."
- Judith Kahn"We purchased a condominium in Arlington Village Courtyard, Arlington, Virginia in June of 2010 and due to a change of plans on our part we decided to rent it out as opposed to using it ourselves. I had spoken with Malin Luca in his role as President of the homeowners association and learned that he was also a realtor with McEnearney. I was impressed with Malin's knowledge of real estate so we asked him to serve as our agent in securing a renter. Over the last three years Malin has done a great job of keeping our condo rented with exceptional tenants. In April of this year we decided to sell the property and asked Malin to serve as our selling agent. Within two weeks of having the condo on the market it was sold at a price we accepted. Over these last three years we could not have had a better experience than the one we had with Malin. He was thorough, responsive, and willing to do all he could to meet our needs. When we rented he found potential renters who were well qualified to be in our condo. When we needed to talk to Malin he was always available via email and phone. In addition Malin would keep us aware of any items that we needed to know about. When we sold he found us a buyer that was well qualified to make the purchase. Malin has qualities that make him the perfect agent. He is positive, well informed on real estate, and extremely thorough in all matters. We give Malin the highest grade as a real estate agent and would be more than willing to offer more positive comments. Drs. Douglas and Denise David, 716-839-1576"
- Dr. Doug and Denise David"We could not be more grateful to have found Mike Makris as our realtor. We love our new home, and would not be moving into it without Mike. You will not find a more dedicated, responsive, and professional real estate agent out there. From giving us the earliest notice possible of properties coming on the market, to walking us through all aspects of being first time homebuyers, Mike was everything we could have asked for. We are truly grateful to him and hope that many many others get to have the same wonderful experience that we."
- J. Fleisher"Ann exceeded our expectations. She was fabulous. When we bought in Virginia six years ago Ann was our third Realtor in four days. She was great then and again now as we just sold to move South. Thank you!"
- Paul & Kristin K."We are very grateful for all your efforts in helping us find our next home!"
- Kathie"Ann was outstanding throughout the process, from carefully explaining each document and stage to quickly responding to our many questions and requests. As first-time buyers she made us very comfortable. We can't imagine our experience being any better!"
- Rob & Elizabeth D."I highly recommend Madeline Caporiccio as a Real Estate Broker. She is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. I was working on a strict deadline transferring out of state. I am a Real Estate Broker and broke the cardinal rule and tried to sell my own house. I failed. Madeline stepped in and within three weeks had my house under contract and sold for top dollar. She made the whole process go smoothly and took away all my stress. I wasn't the calmest client she ever had to work with, and she helped me with anything I needed. You can't go wrong if you hire Madeline to help you buy or sell a house. "
- Terri Brown, Watson Property Management""Tom sold my parents' properties in Fairfax and Warren Counties and my townhome in Middleburg and found us our single-family home where we are raising our children in Leesburg. While there were external issues that had to be dealt with in all the transactions, the actual sales and our purchase went exceedingly well.""
- Sharon & Bill M.""As first time home buyers, we discovered Winchester, thanks to our Realtor. Tom listened to what we wanted and he found our very special home, just two blocks, from the Walking Mall in the historic district.""
- James & Tiffany""Tom was our friend before he was our Realtor. He sold my boyhood home and helped us navigate a difficult seller in our purchase of our home of choice in Leesburg. He is still our friend!""
- Mark & Laura H.""Tom, it is always refreshing to deal with nice and knowledgeable Realtors, like you.""
- Elcy D. - Winchester Realtor"I was a loyal customer of Jim Pumphrey's for over 25 years when he and his family owned Jock's Exxon. I made it a point to always take my gas and repair business to him because Jim always treated me in just the way I wanted to be treated, as a valued customer. I was treated fairly, with a great deal of courtesy, and he always made me feel like he truly appreciated my business. That kept me coming back time after time. We live in an age where customer service is often just a byline to most companies, touted, but not delivered. Jim stood at the top of the hill, and lived by one simple idiom, do unto others as you would have them do unto you. It kept me coming back!"
- E. Prescott Engle"I have had the pleasure of knowing Jim Pumphrey for over 25 years. During this time I have known him in many capacities. As parent, youth baseball coach, business owner, and he has been successfully involved in the community, schools, and his church for most of those years. As owner/manager of a well-known local business he serviced and maintained our family's vehicles and I could always rely on him to be honest and deliver the highest quality of work. Jim is efficient, extremely competent, and above all works with the highest level of integrity dealing successfully with people of all ages. I would regard him as an asset to any situation and would recommend him highly to contribute to anyone's organization in a most positive manner. - Peggy Moats"
- Peggy Moats"I have known Jim Pumphrey for many years and was a customer of his for over 35 years. He has great respect for his customers' opinions, questions and their most valuable resource, time. He is a pillar of the community and he is woven into the fabric of Leesburg and Loudoun County. But above all things two stand out with Jim, and as a customer there are no other qualities more integral to the customer experience. Jim is honest and has unquestionable integrity. Those are the cornerstones of business and of life."
- Stilson Greene"Coming into a new housing market can be daunting, but Wendy worked to make the process comprehensible and stress free. Her intimate knowledge of Old Town, the ins and outs of renovating a home here, as well as her familiarity with new properties under development, worked together to help her find us the place most suitable to our needs!"
- Bob and Kathy S."Professional Honesty and Integrity, Priceless! I am so grateful for the time we spent. You inspired and educated me on the value of my property."
- Sara Stone, Oakton, Virginia"As soon as I decided to move into Old Town, I knew I needed to call Wendy Santantonio to be my Realtor. From her knowledge of the neighborhood, to her decor and furniture placement advice, to the efficient and proactive service she provided, I was thrilled to be working with Wendy. From the first showing to the final move-in, Wendy's professionalism was appreciated every step of the way."
- Carrie J."We worked with Wendy to find a place "right in the heart of the action in Old Town." I called her "out of the blue" one evening from our home in CT. We instantly connected, Wendy was/is a great listener who worked quickly and proactively with my wife and I to find the perfect place with one visit and a number of phone and web consultations. Nicely done!! Wendy is efficient, knowledgeable, flexible and personable. She honors her commitments. It was a pleasure working with her- we recommend her without reservation."
- JC and Chris T."Malin is the most responsive and knowledgeable agent you'll find in the area. He helped me sell my condo in 48 hrs for more than asking price. He then helped me negotiate a rental when I decided not to buy again right away."
- Jennifer Reid"Malin helped us buy our first home. He was great through the entire process, and much much better than any of the other agents we dealt with. He was very proactive about helping us in our search (finding properties, mapping out houses to see, keeping us upbeat during the process). After we found the house he helped us work through the offer, worked with us to find the right lender, and title company. As first-time buyers, Malin made our process so much smoother than it could have been, and we're grateful to him for that. USE HIM!"
- James and Sova Holmes"Malin helped my wife and me to purchase our first home. I was not too knowledgeable about the process but Malin's wealth of knowledge and experience more than made up for that. He patiently and expertly walked us through the process of search/bid/negotiate and was available for many questions and conversations at all times. His knowledge of the local housing market is unparalleled. We were very impressed with Malin and would recommend his services to anyone who values professionalism."
- Tom and Veronica Mooney"Kim Kreeb guided me through the entire process of selling my beloved home.... Because the house had been in our family for 40 years, it needed some sprucing up; she suggested improvements to ??get the most return for the least amount' facilitating the work by high quality, responsible and reliable contractors. They turned my home and yard into a perfect thing of beauty with great curb appeal. I love the brochure she created with beautiful photos of the final product as a keepsake. In just a few weeks, my house garnered competing bids and sold at a great price. Kim is fun to work with, knowledgeable about homes and the northern Virginia area and market. I really enjoyed working with her and can't quite believe that from listing to closing was completed in less than 2 months. What a relief to have it sell and close so fast."
- Susan Goewey, Falls Church"Mary made the stressful process of buying a home very easy and smooth for us. Her knowledge of real estate is vast and she is very detail-oriented. She was readily available whenever we had any questions. She puts her clients needs first and is a pleasure to work with. Thanks Mary.- Chandra"
- Chandra Kallem, Ashburn, VA"Julie and I really believe the experience in selling the Irving street property was first class. I think you know that I've had a lot of buying and selling experience... You are the best!"
- Jim Edmunds"Julian listened to what we were interested in, walked us through the current real estate climate in our area, helped us narrow down what properties would work for us and spent many hours showing us various townhouses. He was also very prompt and efficient, and stayed on top of all the details that go into this process. We're very satisfied customers."
- Joyce G."Julian was very helpful, very professional. Really enjoyed working with him."
- Scott M."Thank you again for all your work. I'll be calling you again, when I have the opportunity to buy something larger."
- Tom S."We really appreciate all of your help in finding us our first home."
- Tracy & Patrick F."We are settling into our new house and wanted to send you a quick thank you. We so appreciated your patience and guidance throughout the process."
- Cathleen & Andy H."Thank you so much for managing the purchase of our new home. Your constant attention throughout the process combined with your excellent advice was very much appreciated. We know we will be happy in our home for many years to come."
- John S."For all the extra leg work, gas mileage, phone calls to painters, repairmen, hounding those at the management company, etc, etc, I say thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. You made the sale for me in so many ways, and I could not have asked for anyone greater to handle a situation (involving a great distance) with such grace and patience."
- Tina W."We cannot thank you enough for all of your guidance and counsel during our search for a home. We have been fortunate to work with you to a successful end of the process. Your support and knowledge were instrumental, and in the end, you helped us find the house that suits us. Thank you again for everything."
- Jessica & Chris"We found the perfect property in the first week of December 2013, and the sellers offered a subsidy if we closed in 28 days. We couldn't have done it without Wendy's advice and assistance -- she worked tirelessly to make sure we met our deadline and made herself available via phone and email all day and night, even through the holidays. We couldn't have been happier with any other agent."
- Jen B. and Adam B."Julian was perfect as always!"
- Jim C."Julian far exceeded our expectations. He was responsive, a great listener and guided us skillfully to our new home."
- Barbara & Bill B."Julian met and exceeded my expectations. He is very professional and ethical, and a great guy to boot."
- Gary P."He was great to work with ... completed contract and finalized it at midnight."
- Cari H."We would never have been able to do this without your help and guidance. You came highly recommended and now we know why. You have been absolutely wonderful. We know that you have spent a lot of time and some extra long hours away from your family in order to help us, and we are very appreciative."
- Caitlin & Mike E."Wanted to thank you for the great job you did in selling our home so quickly. As usual, you exceeded all expectations. It has been a pleasure working with you. You are quite the professional, as well as a genuinely nice person to deal with."
- Theresa & Mark I."You helped us deal with all of the frustrations of today's real estate market ... and you went the extra mile to make our dream a reality."
- Rachel & Dan B."In November of 2013 -- the day after Thanksgiving -- my fianc accepted a job offer in DC with an immediate start date of December 30th, 2013. Living in North Carolina, this gave us less than a month choose a neighborhood, find a house, and completely relocate life to DC, all during the frantically busy holiday season. Quickly, we discovered how difficult it can be to find a place on your own - We needed help, desperately. After turning to a McEnearney Associates, we found Wendy Santantonio -- a wonderful young realtor who knows (quite literally) EVERYTHING there is to know about Old Town. Wendy is informative, diligent, and really did an amazing job of matching the right properties to each of our personalities and needs. She didn't just help us find a house in Old Town, she helped us find the perfect home in the perfect location! Furthermore, she made both our house hunting/moving experience an enjoyable one, rather than a stressful nightmare, for which we are immensely grateful! Wendy Santantonio is hands down the only realtor we will call when we purchase our first home here in Old Town, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to rent or buy in this wonderful & historic community!"
- EB C. and Bryce T."My husband owned a home before we were married and had a horrible experience with the realtor who helped him purchase the house and a second realtor who sold the house. So when we decided to start looking for our first home together, we were incredibly selective in choosing our realtor. Wendy Santantonio was our perfect fit! We never doubted for a moment that we would soon be living in our dream home with Wendy leading our team. Wendy was our fierce advocate in negotiations, our counselor whenever we had questions and our good friend who made the whole process fun and enjoyable."
- Elizabeth L. and Jasen F."We are delighted and thrilled with our new home. We are so happy to be the new proud owners thanks to your caring assistance and great help. Embassy Park is a great place to live. Bill and I thank you so much for everything you did for us. You certainly were instrumental in making our dream come true. We were very fortunate to purchase our home and we could not be happier. Thank you again for all of your thoughtfulness and making what would normally have been a very stressful process, very understandable and manageable."
- Valeriya & Bill"Ann helped us throughout our entire rental experience. When our family moved, we were under a short timeline, and she was invaluable in alerting us to available houses and showing them to us. Even after we secured a rental, she was there to help when we encountered problems with our rental property. Ann came over and assessed the situation and helped fight for us to get the problem fixed. Ann could have left us after she secured the rental, but that is not the type of person Ann is. She cares about her clients and goes the extra step to see that their needs are met."
- Andrea Gevas"Ann was my realtor during my most recent permanent change of station (PCS) move. She assisted me in finding a perfect home, was very professional and helpful during the entire process! Ann had a listing of available units, filtered to fulfill my needs, and emailed to me on a regular basis. Between the time we started working together, around April 2013, to the time I selected a home, late-July 2013, Ann worked tirelessly with me over weekends and holidays showing me numerous properties. Her assistance and guidance were unequaled. She gave me advice on a professional and personal level on every unit we looked at. A couple of places I would have settled on, but Ann??s professionalism and keen eye for detail would notice certain things that I would overlook. She pointed out possible problems or concerns, and addressed them with me in a straightforward manner. I am forever in her debt for this. In the last property we saw, we walked in and she turned to me and said, "This is the place?_", and she was right! I'm now living in a perfect home that fits 100% of my needs thanks to Ann and McEnearney!"
- MC1 Peter Santini, USN"Ann was professional, caring and exceptional! She made my wife and I (first-time homebuyers) very comfortable. She was proactive and always available. We would work with her and McEnearney again!"
- Rod Kresge"I was referred to Ann by my brother Rod and his wife. Ann took the time to find me the perfect home! Her service was excellent, and I had a wonderful experience with her and McEnearney!"
- Kim Kresge"Exceeded our Expectations - Professional, Very Prompt, Flexible and Customer Service Oriented. From our 1st meeting w/Courtney, we were thrilled to work with her - her positive attitude & spirit carried the day!!"
- Tiffany & Jim, Alexandria"Courtney did a great job both helping us buy a home and sell our present one. She helped stage our house in a way that allowed it to sell in only 5 days on the market. She did a very nice job for us."
- Tracey & Bob, Alexandria"I simply cannot say enough good things about the personal care we got from Ann. Being a military family and both working full-time in a completely different location made frequent house-hunting trips to the area impossible and Ann recognized this dilemma and went above and beyond for us. After getting a thorough idea of what we needed in a house she combed through options for us and even went to different properties on her own and took additional pictures to ensure an accurate representation.It was truly the easiest and best experience we've ever had with a realtor and given how frequently we've moved-- we've met a lot of realtors. Ann is a consummate professional with complete attention to detail who goes above and beyond for the people she works with. Truly, a wonderful experience."
- LCDR and Mrs Mark Thomas, USN"My husband and I were moving to the Northern Virginia area and needed to find a rental home quickly that met our requirements. Courtney DeVries was able to work around our schedules. She was very friendly and professional. She did a great job helping us understand the whole process and as well as what each rental property offered. Once we made a selection, Courtney helped us submit all the required paperwork and ensured that the renter's realtor company understood that we were working on a time crunch. She continued to check in with us until we heard back from the renter's realtor company that our application was accepted. Courtney's help and guidance made the whole experience run smoothly."
- Sarah, Alexandria"First of all, let me ay it was really pleasure to meet you. Thank you again for showing us the apartment at Skyline House with such enthusiasm and at the same time with professionalism and seriousness. During our search for a place to rent, several times we had the sensation that the realtor was in a rush, and didn't want to spend too much time in a lease, when sales means a much better commission. The condo was in excellent condition and was one of our favorites. Thanks again for your time. Kind regards, MTM"
- MTM"Wendy was a pleasure to work with and we are very happy with our purchase. Wendy was always available to us --- She always had (or got) the answers to our many questions, was never pushy, listened to what we wanted and guided us easily throughout the process. Additionally, she was able to use her first hand knowledge of major home renovation to help guide us away from houses that would put us in an uncomfortable situation. We will definitely recommend her services to friends and neighbors in the future!"
- Jeff and Anne A."Outstanding! Bay is the best Realtor I've ever worked with."
- David Krikorian, Vienna, VA"We have several friends that are realtors, but always use Julian when we purchase a home. He is fabulous to work with. We expect the best from him, and that is what we always receive."
- Amy & Pentti, G"We worked with Kate this past spring to purchase our first home in Alexandria, Virginia. As first time home owners, we were new to the process, but Kate walked us through each step of the way, which included answering our countless questions. There were times when it all felt a bit daunting, but Kate's professionalism and expertise in the areas that we were looking made us feel confident in the decisions that we were making. She was incredibly accommodating with the times that we were available to look at homes, and we never felt as though she was pushing us in a direction that we were not comfortable with. When our bid was accepted on a home in the Del Ray neighborhood of Alexandria, Kate continued to work with us up until our closing date to ensure that we had all of the information that we needed. We are currently in our new home and couldn't be happier with our house or our realtor!"
- Katie and Jody"You not only met my expectations, but you exceeded them. Mr. Burke was truly a professional."
- Ron F."When my husband and I decided to buy an investment property, the first person that crossed my mind was Wendy. She found our ideal property within days and we were able to close quickly. She understood exactly what we were looking for and we didn't waste any time. I enjoyed every single second working with Wendy. She is very reliable and professional, and I am looking forward to our next endeavor!"
- Zewdi S. and Alex M."Mason Bavin drives results! What we anticipated to be a three-plus month process to find the perfect house, ended up being just six weeks! We're now settled and loving our home in a terrific neighborhood and community where we never imagined possible. Mason was incredibly responsive. From the first e-mail right through the closing, Mason listened and paid attention to our needs and desires, then responded with excellent coaching as we visited listed homes. She did such a great job preparing us for house-hunting and purchasing that we found our home in just one weekend. Mason also has a good real estate network of colleagues and service providers who met and exceeded our expectations as they effortlessly guided us through lending, the offer, a title, the closing, and services set-up for our move-in. We hope it is obvious that we highly recommend Mason Bavin for your real estate needs and investment. She is top-notch!"
- M & D Lohmeyer"We could not be more pleased with the kind, thoughtful and expertly professional manner of both buying and selling a home with Mason. She is an absolute gem!"
- John & Claire"We looked at both rental and purchase options with Mason. She was very professional and prepared to help us search for both property types. Her knowledge of the area is amazing and made our search easier. She also gave us several recommendations for a mortgage lender which was a big help. We definitely recommend Mason!"
- Linda & Bruce"Mason was incredibly helpful to us. We were completely new to the area and she helped to orient us and to identify a good location for our needs. She was sensitive to what we liked and to our concerns and was very patient. We couldn't recommend her more highly!"
- Rebecca & Richard"Mason & Pat, Thank you for the way you took us in and so effortlessly helped us find such a fantastic house. We really feel like we have found our home. We are incredibly impressed!"
- Ivy & Anthony"Mason was wonderful. She was very patient and forever optimistic. She made a first-time buying experience go smoothly. She was always reliable and very responsive to e-mails, phone calls, etc. We worked with several realtors in the past and said to ourselves that we are going to McEnearney Associates next! They did not disappoint and we will work with McEnearney Associates and Mason again when we sell, if we ever do. We will recommend both McEnearney Associates and Mason to all of our friends."
- Robert & Anna"Mason exceeded our expectations in terms of time spent to look at homes. She had a good sense of what we were looking for after a couple of home visits. Following her advice helped us find and purchase a home within 30 days- can't beat that service!"
- Maria & Dean"Mason, We cannot thank you enough for all of your help with both house hunting and house-selling earlier this year. Your patience and guidance was a great comfort to us as we navigated the various challenges of the real estate process. It was great to know that you were always there to look out for us every step of the way and ready to do what was needed to get our house sold and us into our new dream home. We appreciate all of your help, patience and guidance. We are so thrilled with our new house, and we appreciate everything you did to help make that a reality for us!"
- Ryan & Whitney"Daniel is personable, easy to work with and well-versed in the real estate business. He offers honest opinions without being pushy, knows his market area and how to speak to the clientele, offers solid advice for making a house marketable and is realistic when talking pricing. He is both savvy and likeable, an unusual combination! I'd use his services again without question."
"Daniel conducted an open house two days after I listed my home. The open house was very successful and the home sold in less than two weeks. I was very satisfied with Daniel's willingness to work with me and make the whole process as accommodating and simplified as possible. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and associates in the Northern Virginia area."
"Mike was the perfect resource for me as a first time home buyer. He provided me with all of the information I needed without making me feel pressured to look at places or close in a certain time frame."
- M. Bradley"Julian Burke and McEnearney Associates are the epitome of professionalism. I am truly appreciative to Julian Burke for all of the suggestions and help that I received in the process of selling my condo."
- Maureen, B"Both Mason and Pat gave me some excellent advice to market my home and were both wonderful with all aspects of communication."
- Joan"Mason continuously considered my "wants" in a home until I found something in my price range that I liked. She had my needs and more importantly my interests in mind. She made buying a home in Virginia easy by explaining all of the new areas of Virginia law without reservation."
- William"Suzanne represented me when I bought my home and I wouldn't have had anyone else represent me during the sale. She has an intimate knowledge of the area and is a true professional. I was quite pleased with her service and would recommend Suzanne to my friends."
- Alan"I was very pleased with McEnearney, especially Suzanne. She was knowledgeable and familiar with the area and the market. She gave suggestions and guided me throughout the entire process and was always accessible. She was a wonderful agent and I would recommend her!"
- Patricia"Suzanne went well beyond my expectations in selling, staging and closing my home. She did more than I could have hoped, particularly selling long distance. She must be one of the best agents ever!"
- David"Often when dealing with real estate agents one finds that although well intentioned, there is a lack of communication regarding the needs of the buyer or seller. In the chaotic pressure cooker that is real estate in the DC region often its about the sale, and not about the family that will leave, or live, in the property. But this is not the case with Bob Martini of Mcenearney Associates. We first met Bob at an Open House in Alexandria VA. He was not the agent selling, but was very enthusiastic about the property. It was around 4pm, time to close up, but he stayed and listened to our needs in a home. He actually closed up the Open House to walk us personally over to another house he thought would more fit our ideal home requirements. From that point on, I knew that he was in the business of customer service and not just "out for the deal". We did find the perfect house, and although the seller did not have an agent, Bob helped this newly widowed woman to navigate the tangle of real estate requirements from the seller side too. This made the whole process unbelievably simple and friendly. So, there was no question in our minds that Bob should help us with the sale of our house when the time came. He has met the masons, painters and engineers in our home when we are out of town to make sure things were done properly. He checked on our house during the cold snaps. He even brought over a potted tree that he believed would spruce up the front. Needless to say the house sold only days after the tree arrived! Bob Martini is the epitome of a great real estate agent, customer focused, in the business for over 30 years, and detail oriented. He has been a wonderful agent for us, and we count him as a friend. I think we won on this real estate deal!"
- Nina"My husband and I are in the process of working with Jo-Ann Hoovler to both sell our current home and purchase our new residence. We want to take a moment to praise Jo-Ann and share what an outstanding realtor she has been over the course of the last year. Jo-Ann has been fantastic to work with, repeatedly going above and beyond what any traditional real estate deal entails. With Jo-Ann as our realtor, we purchased our home in Leesburg in April 2013. From the moment we met her, we were impressed with her professionalism, knowledge, accessibility, and dedication to us and to our needs .As our family situation changed this fall and we again needed to relocate. Jo-Ann was the obvious choice as our realtor. From the moment we started working with Jo-Ann as our realtor again, we knew we were in great hands. Jo-Ann's focus, attention to detail, and open communication with her clients is unparalleled. She spent many a days and nights fielding our numerous questions and answering our never-ending emails with great expertise and patience. As we are closing on both homes soon, my husband and I have nothing but great things to say about Jo-Ann and the work she has done for us. As our extended family moves into the area and others we know need to relocate, we will most assuredly recommend Jo-Ann as our realtor."
- Michael and Katie Johnson"Chris helped me buy a new house, and also sold my old one - and made both experiences as comfortable and smooth as possible. He has very high standards of integrity, and worked with me to find my perfect home, and get top dollar for mine. Chris is persistent in serving his clients and doing what is best for them, but I never felt pressured. It was always clear he wanted to find me the right place, within my budget - and not just get me to buy something quick. He's very patient, and took the time to explain everything, and share his insights from years in real estate as we looked at properties - he really knows the communities and neighborhoods in Alexandria. Also, Chris is a great guy, and working with him was a lot of fun! I've since recommended him to my friends, who've also had great experiences. It's reassuring to have someone like Chris on your side when you're making such an important, expensive decision."
- K. Waller"Chris is the best real estate agent in Alexandria! I was looking for a new home but I was not in a rush. I looked for over a year period and Chris really learned what I was looking for and narrowed down my search. I found a great house and then learned upon inspection that it had severe drainage problems that would require a lot of work. Chris advised me to keep looking and I am glad I did. I found the perfect home for me. Meanwhile, Chris helped me pare down my belongings so my house would show well. I invested a little money in updating the kitchen and sold the townhouse in less than 30 days. The minor upgrades were a great investment. I really appreciated Chris's honest assessment throughout the whole process of buying and selling real estate. He gives good counsel and makes the process fun and easy. I would highly recommend Chris Hayes."
- Robin L"When my family and I were considering a move to the DC area in 2012, we were referred to Chris Hayes by a friend in the area- and we are glad she did! Chris went far above and beyond our expectations of a realtor. As we were moving from out-of-state and wanted to move directly into our new home, Chris helped us find a gem of an area in N. VA that completely suits our lifestyle, commute expectations, and (most of all) price range- all within a relatively short time frame. Although in Ohio until the day before the closing, we were still able to arrange for work to be done as soon as we closed- an impossible task long distance as we did not know/trust any contractors nor were we local that they could just swing by and talk to us. However, this is where Chris really went above and beyond and made the impossible possible. Based on his recommendations and coordination, we were able to have new carpeting/hardwood floors and windows installed throughout the home and various repairs completed immediately after closing. Also, over the last year various repairs have come up and we still call Chris to ask if he has a recommendation and have never been disappointed. We have moved quite a bit over the years, so my husband and I have had a lot of different experiences with realtors. This was the first time I can honestly say that buying the house was the least stressful part of the move; that finding the right house was just as important to him as it was to us. We highly recommend Chris and will definitely use him again when the time comes to sell our home. -Rob and Kelli Baumgartner Alexandria, VA"
- Kelli & Rob"My wife and I were initially hesitant about whether we should continue to rent or make the jump and become first-time home buyers. We really weren't sure where to start and knew that having the right realtor would make all the difference in the word. After interviewing a handful of realtors, one of my wife's co-workers highly recommended Chris Hayes to us after she found out we were looking in to buying. We set up an initial appointment with Chris and we knew after our first meeting we had found our guy! In that initial appointment, Chris laid out all of the considerations we needed to make in the process of purchasing a home in a very straightforward and easy to understand way; and we came away from that appointment confident that we were in fact prepared to buy. After giving Chris some more information on neighborhoods and what exactly we were looking for in a home, he went to work right away on sending us listings so that we could get an idea of what was out there on the market and connecting us with a terrific home loan company so that we could get the necessary financing pre-approvals in place in case we came across the right house. As our search continued, Chris remained diligent throughout about sending us listings and scheduling house viewings during times that worked in to our busy schedules. Throughout the many viewings we did, Chris remained even keel, no-pressure, and gave us his honest advice about the different properties we saw and were considering making offers on. Once we found the house we knew was the one we wanted, Chris immediately got in contact with the property's listing agent and got our offer to them. He kept us posted all along the way during the negotiating process and once we knew our offer had been accepted, Chris guided us skillfully through every step up until our closing date and we've been very happy in our new home ever since! Chris Hayes is someone whom we'd absolutely recommend to family and friends, and if we ever find ourselves in the market again, Chris would be our first call."
- Jennifer & Jason P"It was a true pleasure working with Chris during the process of both buying and selling our homes. He was always available to us and very flexible. He made it a point to be as accommodating as possible to our schedules. When searching for our new home, he provided a lot of options for us to consider while staying within the range of our requirements. During contract negotiations, Chris truly shined. He was persistent in getting us the best, most fair deal possible. It helped that he was very well respected within the community and it was obvious he had good rapport with other agents. When it came time to sell our condo, Chris had great instincts about the listing price, which was higher than what we hoped for at the time. Due to Chris's insight, we had a full price contract within a week of listing it on the market. Chris and his team also made sure any necessary repair work was taken care of with minimal involvement on our part. This was extremely helpful and appreciated. We would highly recommend Chris to any of our family and friends. We will absolutely work with him again in the future."
- Gina and Nick S."I have had the pleasure of calling Chris both a friend and a trusted real estate advisor for over a decade. Chris has been with me every step of the way from buying my first home, a condo, when I was a young working professional to our first family home when I wed my husband. This past year we turned to Chris again as we sought to buy our family's dream home a place where we look forward to watching our son grow up and create many family memories in our home for years to come. Chris was there every step of the way with seasoned real estate advice while serving as a sounding board for all our questions, ideas and helping to turn our dreams in to reality."
- Emily W., Fairfax, VA"I needed a house in a specific neighborhood, in specific price range, in a very short window of time. And, Laurel found the perfect home. She was supportive, informative and went the "extra mile", well actually "miles!" to insure that the experience was a completely positive one for me."
- Gail S, Buyer"Thank you for all of your help over the past two years! You have been so patient, supportive and full of answers. We are so excited to get in to our new house!"
- Mark W, Buyer"Pat's the best! Everything was done quickly and efficiently, absolutely Pat met our expectations. No complaints at all."
- Nora & Matthew"Patricia Smith is my friend and I trust her judgment and value her professional opinion regarding real estate in Old Town. How fortunate I am (and was) to have Pat there to guide me through the purchase of my condo at 1600 Prince Street. I appreciate Pat's expertise and she is an exceptional representative of McEnearney Associates. Thank you all."
- Nancy"Jodie is great! She is professional and nice."
- Ruth L."After losing my husband in 2011, I no longer wanted to maintain my 50 year old house and yard. The experience of getting rid of goods, putting my house on the market, discovering that it was defective, was not at all pleasant. Jodie Burns was diligent and sympathetic. I value her relationship."
- Barbara S."Jodie Burns did an excellent job."
- Leonard M."Above and beyond! Jodie Burns is an extremely professional and personable agent. She is a 10/10!"
- Kate T."Jodie exceeded my expectations! As a first time home buyer I felt that the entire process was seamless. She explained everything! Very happy with how everything turned out!"
- Jennifer J."We were referred to Wendy to assist with our search for a temporary rental home. With 4 pets, we had some demanding requirements that were hard to meet. No one wants to rent their home to 4 animals. Wendy stuck by us and was able to find the perfect place. As our temporary rental was coming to and end, we called on Wendy to assist with finding us a permanent home. Wendy was again able to deal with our unique requirements. We found a great home. With her expertise, we were able to get a good price and lower our closing costs. I would recommend Wendy Santantonio for any Real Estate need and will definitely call her should we outgrow our new home."
- Rhys and Liz T."Barbara Cousens exceeded our expectations. She left nothing to chance. Her approach was calculated, professional and tireless. She was available to us at all hours. Her attitude was unfailingly positive and professional. She is a tremendous asset to McEnearney."
- Jim & Mary"Susan worked tirelessly on our behalf and exuded patience, persistence, and excellent communication skills, all of which are necessary when dealing with our unique situation. Somehow, she made it all work out and her professionalism was the best I have ever experienced in any type of sales environment."
- NH"Being a first-time home buyer, I knew nothing about the buying process. Jane spent 3_ hours on our first visit going over all the paperwork and breaking it down for me, then found a condo that perfectly fit my criteria in a gorgeous neighborhood (she knew well) with beautiful landscaping and friendly neighbors. I was surprised at how much time Jane invested in me to make sure I was happy with my first home-buying experience. We are in contact to this day. She even stops by to see how I am getting along. I would highly recommend Jane, knowing prospective home buyers will be in the best of hands. I am still thanking my colleague, Greg Preston, for referring Jane to me!"
- Brenda Edgerton"Annette exceeded all of our expectations. She is simply the smartest, most savvy real estate agent that we have ever worked with, and we would not hesitate to use her again."
- Jerry B and Lew H."We want to thank you for the wonderful job you did handling the purchase of our new home this month. When we first moved here last year from Chicago, you helped us find a great rental in just two days. That's when we knew we wanted to use you again for our next home purchase. We've worked with several other realtors in the past, some of them quite effective, but none of them were as good you have been. You were able to quickly pick up on our needs and preferences, and then find properties that were worth our consideration. We were especially pleased with your willingness to offer us your honest views without ever pushing us, which really helped us to avoid some possible mistakes. We also appreciated your understanding and patience, especially when we got the "homebuyers' jitters." Each time we struggled, you knew exactly what to do as a professional to help. As a result, you got us through the whole endeavor with relative ease. Your suggestions when we were making our offer enabled us to come to a very fair price with the owners after just one counter offer. We will recommend you to our friends and colleagues, and frankly, we wouldn't think of using anyone else for our next home purchase or sale. Thanks again, Annette!"
- Glen W and Joe B"Annette is true professional who knows the real estate market and provides a landlord, seller or buyer with the information required to make the correct choice on a home. In 2011, she guided me through the home buying process and worked with my wife and I while we were living outside the U.S. and, upon our arrival, were able to find a house and write a contract the same day. Now that we are transferring out of the area, her acumen resulted in our home being rented within the first week it was listed. Forget all other agents - just go with Annette."
- John S. and Jennifer S"Wendy is nothing short of amazing. I recently purchased a condo in Arlington, and I couldn't be happier. I received orders to Arlington after being stationed at Marine Corps Base Quantico. I roughly had less than 3 months, while I was still busy with work, to find a place and move. I was lucky enough to have Wendy as a realtor. She kept my schedule in mind continuously giving me updates. Her charismatic nature made the searching and buying process effortless and fun. Wendy knows the area, has great taste, and works hard for you to find your perfect home. One word: Awesome."
- Cris D."Wendy was truly a pro in helping me find the perfect home in Old Town! She was very responsive and accommodating, and was able to suggest properties that met my needs. Additionally, she nudged me to look at properties I might not have picked out for myself which is where I ultimately ended up. I would highly recommend Wendy. She's personable and highly skilled - a winning combination!"
- Angela M."There are realtors and then there is Wendy Santantonio. She is by far the most talented, proactive, professional person I have met in the real estate business. As an active duty military stationed out of state, she went above and beyond what anyone would expect from a realtor. From working with contractors, to cleaning the condo, staging furniture, adding decor, and coordinating with the condo association, she took care of EVERYTHING! She approached issues with my sale in a professional manner giving insightful advice, keeping me on track, and made sure I never felt pressured."
- Mark M."I'm a cheapskate and would be the first to try to figure out a way to keep that fee you received on the sale. But I use Realtors because the good ones really earn their commission and add value to the transaction in ways that more than pay for their involvement. You did that for us. Thanks again."
- PK"We loved working with Wendy! I can't imagine any other real estate agent knowing or being as passionate about the Old Town area as she is. It was so nice to have an advocate in our corner, someone who seemed to really get us and what we wanted. I heartily recommend Wendy to anyone looking for a new home in the Old Town area."
- Christine D. and Dan S."Wendy Santantonio exceeded my expectations of a realtor. I met Wendy at an open house, and she was so welcoming and personable that I knew I had found my realtor. She is very professional, organized, and knowledgeable. Wendy ensured that the selling process was as efficient and convenient for me as possible by coordinating work to be done at my place (including finding contractors), staging my home, and working with my condo association. Wendy is by far one of the best realtors I've worked with and I will be keeping her contact information for my next move. Thank you, Wendy!"
- Nikki-Blair C."From the moment you meet Wendy, you immediately recognize her professional, knowledgeable, and determined characteristics, but as you get to know her you will see she is also the warmest, friendliest person you have ever met. She has a certain quality every home buyer/seller is looking for in a Real Estate Agent--that drive to do whatever it takes to make her clients happy. And that is exactly what she did for my family. And throughout all the trials and tribulations she donned a smile and a warm, welcoming demeanor. It's hard to find someone these days who will work tirelessly for you and continue to keep a positive attitude throughout it all. Wendy covered every corner of every possible area where we were looking to purchase our first home and even looked in places we didn't know we wanted to see. It was unseasonably cold during our house hunting visit and Wendy literally went in her own closet and gave me a jacket to wear for the few days we were in town just to make sure I was comfortable. After only a couple of jammed packed days of searching, Wendy showed us a house that was certainly not on our radar--and without a question we put in an offer. She knew just what our family needed and helped us negotiate all of the details in a timely manner. We are so grateful for all of her suggestions for professional services (i.e. George Mason Mortgage), her tips on furniture placement and decorating, and even great places to eat in the area--she really knows Old Town like the back of her hand! Wendy is beyond a Real Estate Agent; she will quickly become part of your family if you let her! Thank you Wendy for finding our dream home in Alexandria, VA!!!"

Brett is great, he walked me through the process of doing the best renovations to get top dollar out of my house, the sales process and keeping me calm and assured through out the whole process to closing.

He will not steer you wrong!"

- Mallory"It was a pleasure working with you on the rental of my home! Thank you for your sound advice on the painting and presentation of the house and its amenities in order to be attractive and of interest to a wide array of potential renters. I also really appreciate your working closely with the current tenants to show the house while minimizing the impact on their daily lives. Thank you also for managing the paperwork process resulting in a fully documented and signed contract within 5 days of a showing! Your communication along the way assured me that we would be successful within my desired timeframe. I couldn't be more satisfied and I am happy to highly recommend you and your colleagues at McEnearney Associates to landlords and tenants alike."
- Christine Hackett"Colleen is a fabulous agent. She helped us get ready for the sale, going out of her way to expedite the renovations required for a full value sale and organizing the staging to show the home to its full potential.

Five stars without question."

- Matt (Source)"Far exceeded any expectations (and apprehensions) I had regarding sale of my home. This was entirely due to the professionalism and careful concern showed by Ms. Patricia smith. Due to her insight and experience in the real estate industry, my home sold within 3 days of her listing. Ms. Smith is A McEnearney Treasure! I simply cannot think of a thing that could have been done to improve my experience - and this from a lawyer with 30 years of experience in Anglo-American property law!"
- S. Blackwell"I had the good fortune and distinct pleasure of working with Kaaren on both selling and buying a home. She is knowledgeable, helpful, and extremely efficient. In selling my existing home, she provided expert advice on how best to position it for quick sale at full value. The result was my home sold in less than one week. Kaaren achieved similar results in the purchase of my new home. After discussing personal preferences and requirements, Kaaren quickly went to work to find the right house for us. It was clear that she both listened and thought about what was discussed carefully. The end result was a house that we absolutely love and couldn't be more happy living in. Kaaren is a true advocate for her clients. She worked tirelessly and cheerfully throughout both transactions and proved to be an invaluable asset. I highly recommend Kaaren without any reservation to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home. She is quite simply, the best."

I recommended Catherine to several friends who have also used her to buy and sell several homes and returned to use her again -- further endorsing her professionalism and consistency. Catherine commits to her work and does it extremely well. She was highly organized, thoughtful and offered expert suggestions to sell my property. Even when Catherine was busy, she found time to touch base with me to answer my questions. She knew the area and market well. Catherine was friendly and knowledgeable, with a strong work ethic and a great negotiator. I highly recommend her"
- Eileen D."As we approach the first anniversary in our new home, we can't help but recall our journey together. We initially selected you because of the success you had in selling our neighbor's home in under a week. How surprised we were to return home from our ski vacation and see the SOLD sign on their front lawn. It was then that we realized we were committed to moving as well. Having previously listed our house, we knew we had some challenging features but you were not daunted. You brought in colleagues to help us stage the house and even helped us declutter! How many agents have a storage unit available for clients and then actually help them move their items in! And then, on moving day, when shingles came loose on the roof, you took care of getting it fixed when we were so overwhelmed. You were a true partner. In fact, I have never met anyone in real estate who is as committed to customer service as you are. We continue to sing your praises to any friends who are contemplating a move. When it came to helping us find our new home, you were even more of a pleasant surprise. You certainly understood the latest technology and made excellent use of the relevant search engines and real estate databases to quickly find us a variety of homes for sale. My husband appreciated the fact that you did not waste our time with homes that were out of our price range or not in line with our needs. As you recall, we have a very specific neighborhood we were committed to and our options were somewhat limited because of that. When we finally found our home, you were amazing at helping us navigate the purchase of a "For Sale By Owner" home. Remember how you even helped the seller move clutter out of the house so we wouldn't have any leftover surprises when we moved in?! You were a master at the negotiation process and helped us all reach a deal to our mutual satisfaction. Because our house stayed on the market all summer, it was a stressful time for us, the sellers of the home we purchased and, of course, for you as well. You helped us manage our emotions throughout this process and now that we are settled in and feeling more at home, I appreciate even more what a rock you were for us to lean on. You were a highly attentive agent, almost as if we were your only customers, although we know that was not the case. Your focus on customer service was reflected by the ease of reaching you and, when we couldn't, how quickly you returned all phone calls and emails the same day. We never felt neglected or unimportant. It is our immense pleasure to recommend you for any family searching for their ideal home. We were comfortable in our small home until our children began to outgrow it. We needed a larger home with a yard in our dream neighborhood. You turned our dream into our life. And a very happy one it is! Thank you for all of your support and patience."
- Bob & Trish Gac"My wife and I cannot recommend Penelope more highly. We were probably a real estate agent's worst nightmare - very cautious first-time buyers, completely new to the metro DC market and to the ins and outs of home purchase, and in no particular rush to close. Her profile accurately describes her extensive knowledge and experience. More important, she was consistently responsive and patient, a joy to work with and demonstrating high integrity at all times. We came close to settling twice but backed out due to issues emerging at the inspection stage, and in both cases she was fully supportive. The house we finally settled on is perfect for our needs, and Penelope has continued to be responsive and helpful with various follow-up questions. It was obvious that her top priority is ensuring her clients - complete understanding of the process and complete satisfaction both before and after the deal is done."
- Frederick Roche"Penelope is an outstanding real estate agent and has quickly become a trusted advisor to our family's real estate endeavors. She has a deep understanding of the DC and Maryland markets and the buying process. She is hardworking, punctual, energetic but patient and always ready to go the extra mile. After several years of working with Penelope we trusted her so much that we closed on a property based only on her advice while we were overseas. And it has been a great investment!"
- Rym Khalifeh"There are so many good things to say about Penelope! In helping us find our first home, which we love, Penelope was not only knowledgeable, happy to answer any and all questions, enthusiastic, hardworking, punctual, and responsive, but fun to work with, as well. My husband and I especially appreciated Penelope's clear-minded advice, balanced approach, patience, and ability to listen and understand what we wanted throughout the process. We highly recommend Penelope!"
- Maia Min-Ri Larsson"Pen is a great, hardworking and innovative real estate agent - she puts a lot of energy and enthusiasm into her work and I really appreciated her service, attentiveness and responsiveness! Thanks Pen!"
- Valerie DCosta"Penelope was an absolutely fantastic realtor. I would and do recommend her to my friends. She wasn't at all pushy and cared about finding a place that was right for me. She was also incredibly prompt in responding to my inquiries (which were frequent and numerous!) and easy to reach via phone and email. For my schedule, working with someone who communicated well over email was key."
- Megan Raymond"Penelope was a great help to my wife and I in our house search! She was always there for us to answer questions and clear up any issues that we had. We ended up with a great first house that we love. Thanks Pen!"
- John Davis"When my wife and I decided to begin looking for our first home, some friends referred us to Penelope. Since neither my wife, nor I had ever gone through this long, arduous, exhausting process before, we depended heavily on our agent's judgment and advice. It didn't take long for Penelope to get a firm grasp on the type of home and location we were looking for, and she always gave us a number of options in our price range that met our criteria. She was accessible, honest, knowledgeable, thorough, and most of all, patient. Her attributes and work ethic were evident, not only when we closed on our home, but throughout the entire process. She answered our (in hindsight) ignorant questions, and was very gracious despite our occasional indecisiveness. We cannot recommend Penelope enough to the first-time home buyer, or even the seasoned veteran."
- Patrick Rothwell"Penelope Frissell is an extremely skilled and helpful realtor. I recommend her most highly."
- Josh Lansky"As a first-time home buyer, I relied on Penelope's knowledge of the market and trusted her instincts. She spent over six months helping us find "the right property to call home" and was always energetic and positive. When it came time to write the contract, Penelope helped us structure a deal that was ultimately accepted by the seller. I highly recommend Penelope as a real estate agent for the DC metro area."
- Regina McCoy"Penelope Frissell is an outstanding real-estate agent. She was thorough and professional throughout our search for a house, and she alleviated our stress the entire time with excellent advice and good humor. We were thrilled with her work and her integrity, and we're delighted to still count her as a friend a year later."
- Stephen Thompson"Penelope is great and my wife and I would highly recommend her services. She is very knowledgeable and is great about keeping us abreast of the latest properties available. We are lucky to have found her during this market."
- Tom McDonald"Penelope is a pleasure to work with! She is very personable and takes time to explain everything to her clients. She also has infinite patience and understanding and can put herself in her client's shoes. She gives great advice but still leaves the client at choice. She also is very quick to act in her clients best interest. She is well-connected in the area and has access to great subject matter expertise (examples, companies that update condos, inspection people, senior realtors, etc). I highly recommend Penelope!"
- Miri McDonald"Catherine went above and beyond our expectations with our purchase. We were very satisfied with our dealings with Catherine."
- Mike and Cindy"We have used Ann for four successful real estate transactions in the past 20 years and have never been disappointed! She is the consummate professional - hard working, smart, fun and extremely thorough. We recommend her without reservation."
- Jim & Luanne G."Having never sold a house we didn't know quite what to expect. Jodie proved to be so knowledgable and conscientious that we were confident of her commitment to sell our house quickly and profitably. She is a pro! Sold in 20 days! We are very grateful to Jodie for being our realtor."
- Celia & Gary S"Jodie was amazing! We have moved 13 times in the last 19 years and Jodie is our favorite thus far! I cannot think of anything she could have done to improve her service."
- AnnMarie & Dave O."Bob was outstanding in helping us to sell our parents' home. Since I live out of state, I relied on him to take care of all the details and he took care of everything. He is reliable, dependable, and knowledgeable and was just the person we needed to help us during this very stressful time. We were able to sell the house in 2 weeks and 2 days, and we could not have done this if it had not been for Bob's help and expertise. We highly recommend him for he is the epitome of outstanding customer service. We are forever grateful for his work."
- Viola Lucero"Bob knows the area, knows the market, and takes just the right approach and balance to be aggressive and yet somewhat relaxed about helping you to find the right place to live. He'll go above and beyond for appointments, call for information you need to clarify an offer or other features of a home, and he is completely clear and unselfish when it comes to explaining what is fact and what is opinion. As individuals who had a deadline due to military retirement, we appreciated his calm approach to what was coming next, his no-nonsense attitude about the facts and figures we needed clarified, and we know his helpfulness with a few details which needed ironing out with the seller contributed to the success of the purchase. Bravo, Bob!"
- Jeff and Jenny"I just worked with Bob to buy my second house in two years. He has been absolutely fantastic in both experiences. Not only does he do an excellent job negotiating contracts but he also helps get you set up with all the contacts and information you may need when getting set up in your new house. Overall, he is an absolutely fantastic person to work with!"
- Jen Curry"Since we no longer live in the area, we depended on Bob to take care of everything related to selling the home, including dealing with, scheduling, and insuring that work done by sub-contractors was done well and on time. He made the selling process as stress free as these sales can be. We highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home."
"TOP NOTCH! Bob has actually helped me sell two of my homes over the past seven years...first my town home, and secondly my single-family home that I moved into afterwards! There was no question I would use Bob again. He is intimately familiar with the local area (Northern Virginia and Alexandria) and is a consummate professional. It's not just the process of listing and the regular responsibilities a realtor performs, it's the things that Bob does above and beyond that really makes the difference. He made the whole selling process transparent and was really there every step of the way to make everything as simple as possible and stress-free. Things like helping out with getting repairs scheduled and even checking all of my cabinets and drawers after I left (and finding an item I had accidentally left behind, which he promptly mailed)! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I can't say enough good things about Bob!"
- Chris"I bought my first house with Bob, and I sold it with him as well. He is courteous, pleasant to travel around with, and most importantly very knowledgeable, especially in Alexandria and surrounding areas. If you're looking in Northern Virginia, talk to Bob."
"I have recommended Bob to all of my friends who are looking to buy or sell a home without a moment's hesitation. Bob has consistently impressed me with how he conducts business. He is well-versed in the market and provides sound advice on how to move forward on a property. Further, Bob is never pushy or impatient, and is willing to go at his client's speed. He spent several days touring homes that he realized we would likely not be interested in, just to allow us more confidence in our decision regarding location and type of home that would work for us. Conversely, when we wanted to move quickly on a home that we liked, he put together a convincing package in a minimal amount of time and helped us buy the home that we wanted. On a more personal note, a realtor is someone that you spend a lot of time with, and someone who gets to know you, and your likes and dislikes, very well. Bob is one of the nicest persons I have met, and is someone that you can trust. I could not recommend him highly enough."
"Bob is extraordinary. He says that he delivers prompt and thorough customer service on his website, and boy does he deliver!! Believe me, I am a tough customer. I found him when I phoned about potentially renting a property he had listed for sale. Though that property had just sold, he found us the perfect rental. I consider myself a DIY when it comes to researching online, but he recommended a property that I wouldn't have considered. It is perfect. Bob is smart, patient, thorough and prompt. I recommend him without hesitation."
"Bob was wonderful to work with! He gave us excellent advice and assistance when we sold my mother??s home. He had an Open House immediately after listing it and the house was sold in three days. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone!"
- Patty"Bob sold our home in Alexandria during the holidays and in a very tough market. He was helpful in helping us find another house in Fairfax. I would recommend him to anyone!"
"Really felt like she listened to what we were saying and didn't waste our time during our house search and the subsequent sale of our home. Kelly was a true advocate for us during the negotiations of both the sale and purchase of our homes."
- JB & MB"Kelly was responsive to our requests, well organized and knew all the demographics of the neighborhood we wanted. When our house came on the market, Kelly showed it to us before the open house and presented the winning contract the following Tuesday. Kelly??s enthusiasm and professionalism made the home buying process move faster than we anticipated."
- Chris & Linda Ertz"I??m glad we didn??t have to buy our house without Kelly. Buying a home is always stressful, but Kelly reduced the stress and even made it a pleasurable experience. Kelly has exacting standards and made us feel very well represented in the transactions."
- Annie Kirchner & Steve DeCanio"We both want to thank you for putting your enthusiasm into action. Your keen decorator??s eye transformed our house into a showplace that commanded the highest price. Your attention to detail in preparing for the open house right up to the negotiation of the contract was outstanding. We never worried about anything because we knew you had thought about every detail and had it covered. We think about you often and just wanted you to know how grateful we both are for your service to us."
- Helen Rader"Janet Price exceeded our expectations. She has tremendous knowledge and experience which we relied upon. Janet aided us in preparing our property for the market and directed the process which resulted in a sale after 6 weeks. Your relocation people were also helpful and found us a good firm to handle our PA purchase."
- Carol and Wade Rice, Belle Haven"Janet was a pleasure to work with as I experienced buying my new home! She was always available and flexible when needed. It was a home that needed a lot of work (repairs) before settlement and Janet truly supported me and my interests every step of the way."
- Jaime O'Keefe, Old Town Alexandria"Janet TOTALLY EXCEEDED our expectations! I would have FIRED - XYZ Builder - (company name withheld) if Janet had not been there. She got everything sorted and took care of us!"
- Kearstin and Dave Meadows, Mt. Vernon"You have been amazing to work with- informative, organized, patient, professional. You've orchestrated an extremely smooth transaction for us and we do appreciate all the behind-the-scenes work that goes into making it so. Our thanks for taking this on and making it so easy for us."
- Daphne and John Kinkel, Arlington"Janet is our good luck charm!"
- Stephanie E., Belle Haven"Thank you so much for doing a wonderful job on this (our sale)!"
- Janice S., Belle Haven"Many thanks to you for your tremendous help, guidance and knowledge in selling our house! Plus we really enjoyed working with you and sharing some good laughs!"
- M.S., Belle Haven"We feel that Janet did everything right. She advertised as we expected. She worked with us to reach the correct pricing for our property. Our sale was in a very tough market and a very unique home and location. Janet was always a professional in dealing with us. This was our third transaction with Janet. If we need a realtor in the future we will call both Janet and McEnearney."
- Diane and Mike Gooden, Waterfront Alexandria, Crystal City, South Alexandria"She is one of the best sales associates we have ever met. Professional, excellent listener, cares about her clients, and always goes the extra mile to help. Because of Craley and her efforts, we had an excellent experience with McEnearney Associates."
- Anonymous"Craley was especially diligent and persistent...and was instrumental in successfully securing my ideal home."
- Sarika"Craley was an outstanding agent. She fully understood the entire process, helped clarify my questions and was constantly professional throughout the entire process. Could not have asked for more from an agent."
- Bryan"Craley was wonderful to work with. She was patient with us, attentive to particular wishes, creative with what she showed us, and extremely helpful with getting us our absolute dream house in a complicated situation. We will absolutely work with Craley again."
- Anonymous"Craley was amazing! She truly was the perfect agent for us. She got to know us quickly and steered us in the right direction. She was attentive, but not pushy, and she really listened to us. She was also very patient."
- Sean & Marian"Craley handled herself like a seasoned professional, she is knowledgeable, capable and thorough in each and every aspect of her job and I am confident that she will have a very successful career in real estate."
- John"As first-time homebuyers, we consider ourselves lucky to have found an agent like Pat. Her lively spirit, knowledge and experience made the transaction an easy and enjoyable one. She is a steady presence who made us feel at ease and informed every step of the way. Thank you Pat for being the agent that made it all happen!"
- Julia & Creighton Byrnes"Absolutely exceeded expectations! Barbara is the best realtor I??ve ever worked with. I appreciate all Jud's help too on the side. Barbara understood my somewhat unique circumstances, and did everything she could to make this as easy a process as possible. Can't tell you how appreciative I am of all her hard work. I already miss her phone calls/emails!"
- Ziad"Thank you so much for all your help guiding us through our first house purchase. We honestly couldn't have done it without you! We're looking forward to the upcoming years turning the house into a home. Let's keep in touch!"
- Wes & Jessica"Craley was wonderful and went WAY above what we would have expected. She made the entire process as easy as it possibly could have been. Our experience was excellent."
- Betsy"Ann was very responsive to all of my questions/concerns, provided useful and organized information, and brought enthusiasm and energy during each step of the way."
- Claire K."Thank you for helping us so much after we signed for our new home. You have gone above and beyond to connect Alex with contractors, painters, flooring experts, etc. You helped him/us so much throughout this whole process. Honestly, I am not sure what we would have done without you and am so happy that you were our agent and now a true friend."
- Ahna"Linda French is extremely competent and thorough. She provided a complete picture of the market while we were listing and selling our house. Linda helped us get the house ready for the market with valuable insights into the updates that would give the house more appeal. She did an outstanding job of negotiating and explaining the details of the offers we received. Linda is patient, helpful and upbeat, which we really appreciated during stressful periods of the process. We highly recommend Linda French for buying or selling real estate -- she is ethical, personable and effective."
- Terry"Linda represented the builder when we bought our new home several years ago. She impressed us with her professionalism and patience during our purchase process. We stayed in touch over the years and when it came time for us to sell she was the obvious choice for her knowledge of the neighborhood, the local market, client and professional contacts and extensive real estate experience. Her good advice and marketing strategy led to multiple full-price offers at our first open house. Getting what you want is success. Wanting what you get is happiness. Selling right away is priceless. Linda also helped us buy our new home. She has gone above and beyond our expectations in dealing with our new builder. We highly recommend Linda French to help you sell or buy your home. She is honest, smart, savvy and very nice!"
- D.R."Linda is an experienced agent with lots of knowledge and effective strategy which helped us sell our home within 6 weeks despite the winter and holiday season. She provided us with great advice and took care of all the required tedious processes to complete the sale. We highly recommend Linda to be your trusted agent."
- D.B."We highly recommend Kay, she's professional, knowledgeable about the market, a great listener and extremely responsive! We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to meet and work with Kay!"
- T. Sawyer"Kay Blemker was exceptional! She sincerely cared for us and the sale of our home. She was completely accessible. Her advice was spot on and expedited our sale."
- S. Ogden"Kay exceeded our expectations. She worked around the clock to ensure hat both our home sale and our home purchase went smoothly, going beyond the call of duty. Whether it is negotiating with buyers or ensuring that our house showed perfectly. She was on it and we were very happy with the results."
- P. Nicholas, C. Benson"Outstanding job by Kay Blemker! In all respects!"
- M. Hughes"We had a great experience with Kay. She is the best."
- M. Willard"Kay helped me buy this property in 2003 and sell it in 2013. She is an expert on Montebello values so we sold in 4 days!"
- M. Price"Kay was great to work with. She has a very good grasp of the market and market pricing that served me well in both buying and selling. I really appreciate how Kay went above and beyond in helping me with repairs to both houses. I was so busy at work and traveling an she, in essence, acted as my personal assistant, working with contractors on my behalf. That was truly awesome and I am most appreciative."
- M. Manning"Kay is extremely efficient and her advice and approach is measured and reasoned. She sold my home at my price in a week. Her advice is always good!"
- L. Woellert"We were very happy with our experience with McEnearney. Kay is a wonderful Realtor who once above and beyond in helping us sell our town home and purchase our new single family home. We will continue to refer her to anyone looking for a Realtor."
- J. Bartos"Kay sold our house in one day. She is fantastic!"
- D. Cuneo"Kay was very attentive and was an excellent advocate. We would recommend her highly."
- F. Arce"Melissa Shelby recently helped me purchase my first home. She is extremely knowledgeable and understands the Northern Virginia Real Estate Market. She was extremely patient and helped answer all of my questions and guide me through this process with such professionalism. She also has strong negotiation skills which helped me purchase my first home with significant cost savings to me. I would highly recommend Melissa's services to any of my family members, friends, and anyone else."
- Christopher Murphy"Melissa Shelby recently helped me purchase a home in Alexandria. She was professional and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. Proactive at all the right times, Melissa presented me with options at several different points during the search so that I could evaluate and make the best choice for my needs. When we'd narrowed down to a couple of homes, Melissa prepared a very insightful pros/cons list that was a big help in my decision. Melissa was both objective and thoughtful during the purchase negotiation. We were able to reach an agreement with the seller and had a smooth closing. Thanks, Melissa for a great buying experience!"
- Taylor Houck"My fiance and I are extremely happy with our new home. We were not the easiest clients and ended up changing our search criteria a few times. Melissa hung in there and was there for us any time, any place. Her local knowledge was unmatched, which was great for us as we had recently moved to the area. Super easy to work with and comforting through the sometimes daunting process. Strongly recommend her as an agent on either side. Thanks Melissa!"
- vfox"We are so happy with our new house which Melissa Shelby helped us look at and buy. It was a find, and Melissa's offer strategy made it happen! We had already lost out on 2 other properties we liked because we didn't have the best approach. We didn't move quickly enough & we didn't bid effectively. Because of the way Melissa suggested we structure our offer, we were able to buy our new house and move in so quickly. Before we found our dream house she made herself available pretty much at the drop of a hat when we wanted to go out looking to learn the market. You will be in good hands with Melissa. And she's very nice and engaging to spend time with!"
- Peggy Braly"We would like to take this opportunity to let you know what a great experience we had working with Jane Manstof as we relocated from Raleigh NC to Northern Virginia this past summer. As with any relocation, we started off with logistical guidelines, housing requirements, and personal preferences for our new home. While the challenges of our search were ever evolving, and our priorities shifting as we became familiar with the real estate market in the area, Jane was always open to any new idea or decision-change we made. She quickly understood our bottom-line issues and what compromises we were willing to consider. We felt she searched out viable housing options for us, and never wasted our time by showing us properties that would not fit our needs. She was creative in her thinking, always honest in her evaluations, and we felt we were working with a real estate professional we trusted and believed had our best interests in mind. She was extremely flexible and accommodating while working with us. My husband was commuting back and forth from DC to North Carolina every weekend, and many times he asked Jane on short notice to show him an available house before he left on Friday night or on his way back up Sunday afternoon - which she was always able to accomplish. She also went above and beyond in her flexibility over the Fourth of July holiday and changed her vacation plans to show us houses when our relocation timetable accelerated and we needed to find a house ASAP. Once we put an offer on the house we eventually purchased, Jane was very proactive in advising us what issues to address before signing the commitment papers - issues for an older house that just we did not have on our radar screen. As a result, she prevented us from having to deal with some headaches that we would have found after our purchase. She did a great job negotiating with the seller's realtor and remaining professional when Steve and I were frustrated by his less than timely communication. Jane took the time and care to know her clients: our tastes, our priorities, and our areas of compromise. We would and will highly recommend her for her work ethic, professionalism, customer service, and interpersonal skills."
- Jan and Steve Slaton"I am so happy with the end result you can't even imagine. You are a true professional. Please feel free to always use me as a reference. Please accept my gratitude and thanks."
- Bud Farag, Old Town Alexandria"Thank you again for all of your hard work and patience with two demanding clients! We've enjoyed working with you and will definitely refer any of our context to you in the future."
- Julie and Nathan"Dear Suellen, It was such a pleasure to work with you on the sale of 3901 Connecticut Ave. NW. I have seldom had a more pleasant transaction."
- Blanche Raff, Weichert Realtors"With sincere gratitude and warmest thanks I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work and dedication to our recent sale at 522, and especially all your help negotiating title companies! It was a great pleasure to work alongside you. And I look forward to next encounter!"
- Chris Dudley Long and Foster Real Estate Inc"I can't thank you enough for all your help during my first homebuying process. You are wonderful at your job. I loved working with you and couldn't of asked for a better agent. I even feel as I made a dear friend out of the deal."
- Natalie"Thank you so much for your exceptional efforts in helping us sell 8302. You have been terrific from start to finish and we couldn't have done it without you!"
- Ray and Carolyn""Kate was absolutely incredible to work with on the sale of our house. She helped us navigate the ins and outs of preparing our house to go on the market so that it would sell for the best price quickly! She made the entire process a pleasure!" Russ and Barbara D."
""I have bought and sold houses in the past, but I've never enjoyed the process as much as I have with Kate. She infused humor and patience along with knowledge and experience so that the entire transaction was seamless." Pam and John H."
""We have sold three houses with Kate and bought two more. We can't imagine trying to buy or sell without her guiding hand. She has such extensive knowledge and experience! We'll be back again!" Peter and Ann Margaret G."
""We called Kate in the worst market in years to sell our house. She counseled us on pricing and staging and got it sold in just 5 days when most houses in our price range were sitting, sometimes for a year or more! And, she got us a record price! We've already sent her several referrals and they are just as pleased with her consummate professionalism and superb results!" Jackie and Will S."
""We met Kate long distance and wanted to buy a house in Old Town. We had never even been here before. Her knowledge of the City, its history and unique characteristics made us feel very comfortable with our choices, both in our new home and in our choice of a professional agent who guided us effortlessly throughout the entire process. We love our antique home and our terrific agent." Mary and Roger M."
""Kate has been our agent ever since we arrived in Old Town in 1989. She was just getting started in the real estate business then and has totally excelled at being a top agent in Alexandria. We are so fortunate to have found her! She's still our agent and always will be as long as we're in Alexandria!" David and Ellen C."
""We met Kate years ago when our children were in grade school together. When it was time to buy our next house, we trusted her knowledge and professional abilities and still do today. She has helped us move from Rosemont to the Seminary area and to McLean! She really knows this area well!" Leslie and Dale P."
""Kate was referred to us by a mutual friend in South Carolina. We are simply delighted with her knowledge and professionalism and her ability to help us make informed decisions about moving here. We decided to live in Belle Haven and just love our house and neighborhood!""
"My wife and I's experience with Malin was top notch for start to finish. When we started the process, Malin immediately provided us with detailed instructions, information, and conversation exercises to ensure we began with a clear picture of what to expect. After looking into various neighborhoods and taking a break to get married, Malin was flawless in taking our needs and desires and bringing us to properties that fit our profile. Once we settled on a house, he made the process seamless, answered our endless questions, and got us closed in no time. I couldn't recommend his services more and look forward to working with him again and again."
- Bradley Beychock"I have dealt with many real estate agents and it goes without saying that Santiago is the best I've ever worked with. Not only is he knowledgeable and an expert in his field, he goes out of his way to listen and make sure that you're getting exactly what you're looking for - and not "sell you" to make his commission. He has a great eye for house-hunting and makes it a priority to understand the neighborhood you're considering - sales history, current market trends and future resale. Best of all, he is honest and hardworking and has a knack to offer reassurance and support when needed. I was delighted to find exactly the house I wanted with Santiago as my agent."
- Lauren (Source)"Seamless! From meeting with appraisers to executing the walk-through, Santiago delivered the results without any inconvenience to me. Most importantly, everything was handled efficiently and effectively FOR me so I didn't have to worry."
- Tanya (Source)"We cannot recommend Santiago more highly. He was with us through every part of the home buying process, answered all of our questions very quickly, and had excellent insight in how to proceed in negotiations. He was excellent in understanding the idea of agency - he represented us zealously and thoroughly and always knew and respected our end goals. He is incredibly knowledgeable, dedicated, and truly cares about his clients. He's very personable and easy to work with, and we never had to worry about whether something was getting done - he's on top of everything. Definitely your best choice for a real estate agent."
- Kristin (Source)"Santiago is an exception real estate sales professional. He sold my $1.2M home in Bethesda within a very short time period, at an excellent price. I will hire Santiago again to list my home in Rockville for sale. He is highly responsive, always equipped with top notch research, and provides valuable insight to both sellers and buyers. He connects with buyers, is personable and a true "closer." Santiago is well versed in both urban infill and suburban submarkets. Santiago uses internet tools to the full advantage. There is no better real estate agent in the Washington market."
- Eileen (Source)"My wife and I were extremely fortunate to acquire the real estate services of Tammi Curran. From the time of initial meeting through final settlement, Tammi was actively engaged with our process. She went above-and-beyond by regularly making a long trek from Annandale to Ashburn, in order to personally meet with us to assist with preparing our home for sale, hosting well attended open houses, crafting a realistic sale price, and a smart approach to managing offers. Early-on we sensed a bump-in-the-road, as a number of potential buyers appeared to be dissuaded by the lack of a master bedroom en-suite. We followed Tammi's recommendation to offer a buyer incentive to off-set this concern - which was likely key to selling our house in 18 days at asking price. Yes, 18 days (!), in the middle of Winter, with snow on the ground. Her support did not end there. We learned that Tammi has a wealth of resources available to her. When we received our to-do list from the buyer, Tammi quickly and easily identified tradesmen who were able to tackle the list items professionally and at reasonable cost. Tammi came to real estate following an impressive career in law firm management. I imagine this is where she learned to aptly manage a demanding schedule, with competing priorities, and to interact with people with varying personalities and expectations. I don't think any home selling process is stress free, but partnering with Tammi certainly made our experience less stressful, as her vibrant personality, and clear knowledge of real estate procedures and tactics, exudes confidence, inspiring us to comfortably place our trust in her. The icing on the cake was the buyers were overwhelmingly happy with their purchase, allowing us to walk away knowing that with Tammi's assistance, we did not merely sell a residence, we sold a home - a place where they will have years of joy and protection from the elements, as we did."
- Kevin & Susan Hanrahan"Wendy is simply amazing. There is no better realtor in Old Town or anywhere. We started working with Wendy five months prior to putting our house on the market. At our request, she recommended interior and exterior paint colors. She met contractors at our home while we were at work. She was always available for consultation or advice. She patiently advised that we wait to go on the market in the Spring to get top dollar for our home - which we sold in five days at full asking - a price we couldn't believe. Most impressively, she managed our home sale after we had relocated to Hawaii. This included checking in on our house during the deep freeze of 2015 to discover that our furnace had gone out and we had ice in our toilets. For the next week she met plumbers and other contractors at our home at all hours of the day/night. She could not have worked harder for us or been more pleasant and communicative throughout. Since we were moving under a government transfer, she also coordinated all aspects of our sale with a third party relocation agency. We cannot recommend her highly enough. You should definitely hire her, you will not be disappointed!!"
- Ryan N. and Melissa M."Nada was WONDERFUL! I've worked with her for several years having renters in my house, and then during the sale of my home. The home sold very quickly and above asking price! She always went above and beyond to ensure everything was done right, kept in constant communication with me, and looked out for me every step of the way. Her professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail are superb, and I'm so grateful she was there to keep an eye on my home while I was stationed overseas. I could not have done it without her! She is the best of the best!"
- Lt Col Mary Carlisle, US Air Force"Thanks for caring for us every step of the way, from buying our first house to letting go of it when we needed to move on, and for helping us navigate all the twists and turns of the process."
- The Mannings"Kaaren is our trusted real estate agent after working with us on the purchase of a new home, managing our rental property, and assisting in the purchase/selling of investment properties. She works tirelessly to find us the perfect home to meet our needs. She is very patient and diligent in showing a wide variety of homes in multiple neighborhoods and locations throughout Northern Virginia. No detail is too insignificant to escape her attention. She has a comprehensive network of related professionals which include inspectors, designers, craftsmen, and mortgage financiers. We strongly endorse Kaaren and recommend her without reservation."
- Brent & Sandra Temple"Kaaren Lofgren has been my realtor of choice for many years and supported me through two different relocations. I am a repeat customer because Kaaren consistently keeps my wants and needs foremost in the process while effectively managing my expectations. Throughout two separate home buying instances, she searched endlessly for houses with me - covering multiple counties - while I determined exactly what I wanted. I am an extraordinarily fussy buyer and Kaaren demonstrated infinite patience with my shifting priorities while continuously providing invaluable counsel, especially when I failed to notice things that she recognized would not be ideal for me. Throughout two separate home selling instances, Kaaren worked tirelessly to make sure my property was well represented. In addition to extensive marketing collateral, she distributed mailings and held multiple open houses, all while remaining extremely sensitive to my privacy and concerns in all areas. I cannot imagine going through the experience of buying and/or selling again without her by my side."
- M. Sandell"Lauren was one of the best things that happened to us during our relocation to D.C. She moved super fast to get us into the apartments we wanted to see, had great energy and really helped us to fine-tune our search and find the perfect place. (She lead us to an apartment with a huge terrace, wooded views, old charm, steps from the Metro — a slam dunk for us!). Also, you can tell Lauren is a former journalist because she pretty much puts her reporting chops to work to track down anything you need to know. But beyond being extremely good at her job, Lauren was just a lovely person to meet as a new arrival. She's upbeat, sharp, funny and thoughtful, and gave us lots of insights into the D.C. area. I'd recommend Lauren in a heartbeat."
- R.M."Few experiences are as daunting as the time sensitive sale and purchase of one's residence. Yet when confronted with this distressing ordeal, Wendy's agility, skill and guidance made what otherwise could have been an unpleasant experience into a relatively easy and enjoyable one. From the beginning, Wendy listened well and understood exactly what we were looking to purchase, and appreciated both our budget parameters and our desire to focus on properties in a specific location. She took all the time that we needed, and was always available to tour properties with us. Efficiently, she suggested properties that appealed to us, without needlessly showing us properties that we had no serious interest in owning. When we ultimately did find the house that we wanted to place a bid on, Wendy's judgment and experience were instrumental in procuring the property for us. On the selling end, Wendy made invaluable suggestions on how to best stage my condominium and marketed it at a price that moved it to sale, without sacrificing price. All in all, if you are looking to either sell your current home, buy a new home, and/or both, you would be in great hands to have Wendy handle your real estate transactions."
- Matt H. and Tracie F."Wendy is one of the best realtors we had a chance to work with as her job also happens to be her passion. She has excellent communication skills and handles all negotiations and situations in a professional matter. Her knowledge and experience were demonstrated through the sound advice that she gave us throughout the process. She always has her client's best interest at heart. She was always available to answer questions and help in the process and went above and beyond the call of duty and we are very grateful to her for that. Under her guidance, we sold our house within 36 hours for above the asking price. We would hire her again anytime and highly recommend her to anyone looking to hire a realtor."
- Nika and Nicolas D."We never would have found our Old Town home without Wendy's help! We had been working with an online discount broker, but as first-time buyers, we needed more experienced guidance from someone who really knew the area. Wendy got us on the right track. She helped us every step of the way with her sound advice and was patient with all of our many questions. She knew exactly the right approach to take with our offer and the subsequent negotiations, and she really went the extra mile to make sure everything went smoothly. On the day we moved in, she even brought us doughnuts! Throughout the whole process, it was such a relief to us to have Wendy on our side."
- Erica R. and Phil E."I just want to thank you for a wonderful job that you did representing me and selling my house in Virginia, I really appreciate, and I would recommend you to any one that I know!"
- Gilsa"Santiago Testa is a seasoned professional who in my experience provides exceptional service well beyond that of other real estate agents. I have been very pleased with our working relationship and recommend him highly. I started working with Santiago about 9 months ago when I was trying to rent out a condo that I owned in Washington, DC by myself. I was having trouble renting it out because the unit had not been upgraded in several years. Santiago worked with me to identify a reliable contractor to remodel the unit at a reasonable cost. He also supervised the remodeling work. I was so pleased with the result that I decided to put the unit up for sale and Santiago found a qualified buyer in a relatively short time. The sale recently closed and I am now working with Santiago to potentially buy another investment condo in D.C. Santiago was extremely helpful with the closing process and even brought to my attention an IRS Section 1031 Exchange option. Santiago is extremely responsive, conscientious, diligent, knowledgeable and it is a pleasure to work with him. I agree with the other reviewers who state that there is no better real estate agent in the DC market."
- Herbert (Source)"Santiago is a wonderful realtor! He is extremely knowledgeable and has excellent work ethic. We had an extensive search criteria and Santiago helped us find the perfect house for our needs. Santiago is very patient and detailed oriented and great to work with. We really enjoyed our house search process with Santiago and will definitely be working with him again in the future."
- Martha (Source)"We have worked with several agents over the past decade and believe Santiago Testa to be one of the best realtors we have ever worked with. He is knowledgeable, patient and very insightful and takes time to understand what his buyers are looking for. Our search took more than 12 months and Santiago never pressured us once. His diligence in understanding our needs finally resulted in us finding the house of our dreams. I would absolutely work with Santiago again and will recommend him to our friends and family. Thank you Santiago!"
- Liz & Brian (Source)"Santiago is an excellent realtor, and as a first-time homebuyer, I was hugely appreciative of his willingness to explain the process, his patience in making sure I understood it, and his readiness to fight for my needs. I've now moved in and cannot be happier with my first home in DC in a lovely and safe location. Santiago helped me find the perfect home that checked all the boxes! At all times I knew that Santiago had my back, and after a couple unsuccessful bids in this highly competitive market, he kept my spirits up and continued to look for and alert me to condo units that would suit my needs. He's exactly the kind of guy you'd want on your side in this market. He was highly responsive, organized, and true to his word: if he said he'd get something done, he did. I'd recommend Santiago to anyone."
- Suzanne (Source)"I was a first time homebuyer and Karen made the entire process easy and enjoyable. She gave me great advice about the houses we were looking at, dealt with my hectic schedule, and made me feel like a priority the entire time.

I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home in northern va."
- Mark M"From the first time we met Karen, she made us feel at ease and welcomed. Her friendly and knowledgeable understanding of the Fairfax County area assured us that we had a strong and smart advocate who help us find a home at a fair price. Karen was always responsive to our phone calls and e-mails, making us feel as though we were her only clients. Any time we saw a house on MRIS that we were interested in viewing, Karen was always able to set up an appointment for the very next day. Her timeliness and action-oriented mindset proved to us that she was willing to do what it took to help us find the house that suited our needs. Karen's knowledge as a realtor, understanding of the current housing market, friendliness, and timeliness made her the best realtor we could have asked for. She treated us with respect and dignity and served as a wonderful representative of McEnearney and Associates Inc. Karen has our highest regards and will certainly be recommended to our friends who are interested in buying a home in the greater D.C. area."

I would highly recommend Karen to anyone looking to buy a home in Northern Virginia."

When doing the paper-work, she made sure we understood the details,and she did research on our behalf. We are sure she spent lots of time on our transaction! JoAnn is personable,professional, and thorough. We recommend her to anyone buying or selling property. We are enjoying the results of her labor."
- Carl and Donna Knutson"Chris is the best agent ever. Thoughtful, professional, smart, reliable, patient, savvy, and so fun and easy to talk to."

- Carson (Source)"Santiago and his team were everything you could possibly dream of in terms of realtors: responsive, knowledgeable, proactive and just genuinely nice and kind people. This was our first home purchase, and Santiago took the time to meet with us prior to looking at any properties to explain the entire process form start to finish. Santiago was respective of our specific parameters and requirements and gave very sound advice on the advantages, and sometimes disadvantages, on different neighborhoods we were considering. We ended up in our dream location, somewhere we never thought was even a possibility, due to Santiago and his team's outstanding responsiveness. We would absolutely recommend using Santiago to anyone looking for a DMV-based realtor."
- Lyndsi (Source)"Madeline is GREAT! Very responsive, knowledgeable, gave excellent advice, great follow-up, always explaining everything i.e. options, contract, inspections, etc. It's been 20 years since I've bought/sold a house, but Madeline made the entire process easy and "held my hand" so to speak throughout — and she came to my spinning class, took me out to dinner and will remain a good friend!"

We would employ Lisa in the future and have already recommended her to our friends."
- Mick and Cathy H. - Old Town Village - Patrick Model"As a first time home buyer, I couldn't have asked for a better realtor than Wendy. Her wisdom and guidance definitely made the home buying process less stressful and straight forward. From our initial meeting I was very impressed by her professionalism and knowledge. She clearly laid out all the steps I needed to take during the search and buying process. She was always ready to answer any questions or doubts I had, especially when I started looking at potential houses. When I finally found a house of my liking she did a great job looking out for my best interests during the negotiations with the sellers. I can't express enough how grateful I am with Wendy for all her help. She is definitely the best of the best."
- Victor M."Jodie exceeded our expectations and we also believe her knowledge of Hollin Hills benefitted us greatly, as well. Jodie is extremely professional and is focused on the details, which is important to us. We closed in less than 30 days--can't ask for anything else. Job well done!"

I've spent 12 years in Real Estate so I think I know it all-Jean proved that she knows more as an agent!"
- Christina H."We had spoken to other realtors and not one of them reassured us the way Chris did. She prepared excellent brochures and a viable game plan for a flawless sale. Her professionalism was exceptional at all stages of the transaction."
- PM"Old Town Alexandria is full of real estate treasures, from historic houses to timeless traditions, and the services provided by Wendy Santantonio is one of the highlights. Wendy is a veritable gold mine for information and resources in the Northern Virginia area, and Old Town Alexandria is no exception. As an Old Town resident, she gives a unique look into neighborhoods, homes, and local experiences. As a Realtor, she provides remarkable insight regarding market data, competition, and the real value and livability associated with the area as well as individual homes. In addition to finding a renter for our previous home, Wendy worked with my husband and me non-stop to find our truly perfect home in our ideal location and supported us through the home buying experience. She has a gift to make clients feel they are the only group with whom she works - even if she is providing exceptional, detailed care for every other client simultaneously. Her level of experience, professionalism, and dedication to her work is unrivaled, and I would not recommend anyone other than Wendy Santantonio for real estate services. You will be incredibly happy and lucky to be working with her!"
- Mariam and Andrew C."Lauren was an essential part of our recent relocation to DC. We have young children and were coming from overseas, and we were so intimidated! We were lucky to find Lauren, who organized a smooth and efficient housing search and then walked us through the entire move-in process. She made sure we saw a broad range of possibilities (in terms of space, neighborhood and budget) and helped us get really clear on what we wanted. We are so happy with our set-up now; we can't imagine having done it without her!"
- A.W."Thank you Jane Ellen!!! I really think you're great and I will be referring whenever possible to you! You are THE BEST!!!!!"
- Angie Lantagne"So thank you again for all of your help as the transition was seamless and the knowledge and sincerity you bring to your work should be applauded. This was a wonderful experience! I will certainly use you again!"
- Brett Terrell"Tammi Curran made selling our first home and buying our first "family" home a seamless transaction. She was always available, regardless of the hour, to answer our calls, texts, and emails quickly and accurately. Tammi helped us line up contractors to complete home inspection items and even meet them to ensure the work was done correctly. We have already recommended her to our friends and family and will continue to do so."
- Ricky and Sarah Boddie"With the hopes of selling our existing home before embarking on our search, we signed with Tammi just to lock her in as our agent. After meeting her at an open house it was so clear to us that she didn't feel like the typical sales driven agent. Intimidation can only start to describe how we felt about buying in the Northern Virginia market. Tammi conducted an exhaustive inventory of our home wish list and sought out homes that fit within this list within our proposed budget. She continued searching weekly for three months, checking back with us whenever she found a potential hit, as our out-of-state home sat on the market. The two things I appreciated most about working with Tammi were 1) her knowledge of the seasonal market inventory and 2) her ability to see the potential of a listing, beyond its current state. We ended up buying a home much larger and on more acreage than we ever imagined. Tammi helped us recognize the value of the listing, act on it quickly and bargain the price to accommodate improvements before we moved in. Tammi was a trusted advisor, advocate and friend throughout an uncertain time for our family. She helped us find a home in which we plan to stay for decades rather than a starter home that would only fit us for a few years. If I didn't have to move again to hire her, I would do so again in heartbeat!"
- Kim and Brent Wensel"Tammy exceeded all of our expectations. She offered timely and well considered advice and she kept us up to speed on all of the things that were taking place. We never had to call her to find out what was going on, she kept in touch with us. She did a superior job of marketing our house, conducted a neighbor open house before the public open house. She took the lead in making sure things were completed and done correctly. This is not my first house sale, but of all of them, this was head and shoulders above my experience with any of them. Well done!"
- Earnest Williamson"We couldn't be more pleased with the service we received from JaneEllen. We have said many times, "we couldn't have done this move without her." She went above and beyond to see us taken care of."
- Ginny and Jon Hornung"Chris did a wonderful job helping us sell my mother's house which had a great deal of deferred maintenance. She recommended highly competent skilled trades people to make the house more marketable. She did an excellent job staging the house for it to show in the best light. She knew the market and recommended a reasonable sales price that resulted in a quick sale. We felt very confident having her handle details while we lived far away. She is a true professional and we recommend her most highly."
- SO"Lauren was so great with helping my husband and I find a rental home in the DC area. We were relocating from out-of-state and had one weekend to fly out and find the perfect house. Lauren was always really responsive to our emails/calls/texts leading up to our house-hunting weekend and was patient when we would send her endless additions to our list of prospective houses. Lauren was really knowledgeable about the areas we were looking in and made the whirlwind house-hunting trip a pleasure with stops at a coffee shop, local bakery and sushi restaurant to refuel, as well as show us the local scene. She was very organized, professional, friendly and thoughtful in every way, and our experience was really great. Lauren exceeded our expectations through every aspect of the renting process, and we recommend her without any reservations."
- K.J."Susan was fabulous: professional, knowledgable, gracious- and she ensured the McEnearney team was present and available. I can't say enough how easy she made the process and how comfortable she made me feel."
- LB""My husband and I just purchased our first home a couple of weeks ago. As first time buyers, the process was overwhelming, to say the least. Mike was a tremendous asset to us throughout the entire process, from the initial conversation to ensure that we had our finances in order, to the last minute questions we had on closing day. Mike was extremely patient with us as we worked to determine what we really wanted in our first home, thoroughly answering all of our questions about the process and guiding us through each of the steps. Once we identified the home we wanted to purchase, Mike brainstormed with us on how to make our offer the most attractive it could be, staying on the phone long past the regular business hours. Overall, Mike went above and beyond what we expected our agent to do and we would highly recommend him to family and friends.""
- M. Hago"I recently worked with Brison Rohrbach to locate commercial office space for my government consulting firm. We had some very specific requirements, including an ample amount of employee parking and a fairly rigid business plan that did not afford much deviation from our lease expense budget. When we first met Brison, we were looking for a small office space. We explained that there was a chance we??d need more space, but that it was dependent on several pending contracts. Brison was very responsive and showed me smaller office space options even though they would result in a smaller commission. We went long periods without much progress, as I was not sure what kind or size of space we would ultimately need. Regardless, Brison kept me informed of market activity and was extremely patient. He began the initial process by sending us reports listing office spaces that met our size, geographical and fiscal requirements, and provided us with feedback on properties he was already familiar with in an attempt to save us time and increase the efficiency of our search. It was abundantly evident that he knew the market very well. Ultimately, my firm was awarded several contracts that necessitated bringing several new staff members on board, and our office space needs increased substantially. I let Brison know what we were looking for and he immediately began to diligently search for office space that met all of our requirements. Once we were able to narrow our search to one specific property, Brison worked quickly to negotiate our lease with the landlord??s broker and kept us informed of each and every development along the way. The level of service was exceptional and Brison??s attention to detail allowed us to obtain favorable lease terms on our office space. Brison??s dependability is reinforced by his friendly, personable nature. He was a joy to work with and periodically contacts us to see how things are going. We would recommend Brison to anyone seeking a hands-_??on, practical, ethical, professional, and motivated commercial real estate professional."
- Rachele Cooper, Aptive Resources"I have had the great pleasure of working with Brison Rohrbach since last June. I retained Brison's services to locate my lobbying firm's first location in Alexandria. We are currently subleasing space in the District of Columbia. When I decided the relocate the firm, Brison worked diligently to locate several viable options that matched my requirements. His market knowledge, commitment to providing excellent, prompt service with a high level of integrity has allowed me to focus on other matters as I became comfortable and confident with Brison's working style. He has consistently followed through on everything he has said he was going to do and has always had our best interests in mind. I would give Brison my highest recommendation. His unique talent set and commitment to representing us has never been in question. He made sure that the test-fit meetings occurred at the buildings we were considering as to not disrupt my schedule and allow me to gain understanding, clarity and comfort with regard to the test-fit process in relation to my office layout needs. I would describe Brison as fiercely loyal. His "can-do" approach, dependable business acumen and attention to detail made it a true pleasure to work with him. In addition to extremely high standards, Brison's negotiation skills, tenacity, sound technical knowledge and overall passion for his profession are enhanced by his personable nature and patience. I and my entire executive team would highly recommend Brison to anyone looking for a talented, ethical, professional, committed and effective commercial real estate broker."
- Howard "Buck" McKeon, McKeon Group, LLC"My wife and I have had the great pleasure of working with Brison Rohrbach for over 2 years. We retained Brison's services to backfill vacant office space in our commercial office building on South Columbus Street in Alexandria. When we decided to hire Brison, he immediately advised us that we could collect higher rents for the office spaces in the building. He was right,and we eventually leased several spaces for rents that we thought would be too high. Brison works diligently to locate viable, creditworthy tenants for the building and has kept us informed of leasing activity on a regular basis.He provides excellent service which has allowed us to focus on other matters. Essentially, we have become comfortable and confident with Brison's work and thus we no longer have to be concerned about getting any vacancies in the building leased because we know Brison is covering it. We trust him. If we owned more commercial real estate, we would hire Brison to do the leasing. His commitment to representing us and getting us the best rents possible has been unwavering. Brison is dependable and really pays attention to the details. This has made it a true pleasure to work with him. His commitment to excellence and high standards are bolstered by his personable nature and patience. We would recommend Brison to anyone looking for a polite, ethical, professional and driven commercial real estate broker."
- Paul Birckner"My name is Robert Lowther and I am the founder and President of The Denali Group based out of Dallas, TX. The Denali Group offers full-service owner representation services to dental practitioners nationwide. Our firm is retained by dental professionals that are seeking to open their own practices typically after spending a number of years working as an associate for another practice. We offer direction relating to site location, office design and build-out, the securization of financing, practice management consulting, relocation and management reorganization. These services are also offered on an a la carte basis as well. In February of 2015, we entered into a contractual agreement with a Dentist who was interested in opening a practice in Northern Virginia. Since we are located in Texas, we utilize the services of commercial real estate brokers that work in the area where our client is interested in opening a practice. We sent a blast email to a large number of brokerages in Northern Virginia in an attempt to locate a seasoned, reliable commercial real estate professional to assist us with the site location process. One of the brokers we reached out to was Brison Rohrbach at McEnearney Commercial. We were amazed at how quickly he responded to our email inquiry and he even went so far as to conduct a Google search to locate our comptroller who sent the email. He then called and left a very professional voice mail and subsequently followed-up again until he was contacted by one of our staff. We conducted telephone interviews with 4-5 different brokers, most of which were larger firms with national and international industry footprints. Within a short period of time, it was abundantly obvious to us that Brison was the best fit for us His kind demeanor, professional acumen, market knowledge, and sincerity projected the image we were seeking. We were not disappointed as Brison worked diligently to locate a viable site for our client to open his practice. He followed-through on everything as promised and relentlessly pursued a very challenging requirement. Ultimately, he delivered as promised. The level of customer service Brison provided us was more than exceptional and we intend on retaining his services in the future when we have another client requirement in D.C. M.D. or VA. I would recommend Brison to any business owner that is seeking a polite, professional that goes the extra mile to make a situation right for the client and makes himself available when others would not. He is loyal and treats people the way they want to be treated and is thus capable of forming a business relationship that is based on trust very quickly. It was truly a pleasure to work with him."
- Robert Lowther, The Denali Group"Approximately one month ago I contacted Brison Rohrbach with regard to a sublease space he had listed at 8500 Leesburg Pike. At the time, I thought it would be beneficial to initiate my first office leasing experience by entering into a seemingly low-risk, short-term sublease. I was apprehensive about leasing office space as I had never done it before and knew it was a serious financial commitment. Brison was extremely informative, answering all of my questions and going out of his way to make sure I understood all of the primary terms of sublease agreements. After explaining the subleasing process, Brison asked me a series of questions including what I was trying to achieve and how I was currently addressing my office space needs. He asked me how long I had been in business and explained the economic benefits of leasing my own space as opposed to subleasing space from another party or continuing to leasing space through an executive office suites firm. Brison??s questions and subsequent explanations caused me to look closer at the economics and I quickly realized that I could afford to lease a different office space in the same building. I was able to make changes and some upgrades to the space which Brison commented ??would make it feel like my own??. I really liked that. I take possession of my new office space on January 15, 2016 and am very excited. I am very glad I made the decision (with Brison??s help) to take the plunge. It was a pleasure working with Brison. His ability to explain the important issues and his likeable manner are true assets that he utilizes to do his job well."

- Michael and Ghislaine Tulou"Clone Martha! Seriously, it was an excellent experience. It is a tribute to Martha that she was able to make an inherently stressful transaction a pleasure!"
- Robert Williams and Lisa Boccetti"Martha is extraordinary! The brochures, advertising and staging were really excellent. The brochure was almost art and the photography really accented the home."
- Paul and Joan Kozar"Martha was a tremendous partner and guide as I navigated through this process as a first-time home buyer. Her knowledge and expertise was so helpful and it was a pleasure working with her."
- Emma Van Hook"Thank you, Madeline. You have been absolutely amazing, and I appreciate it so much."
- Betsy M."We worked with Wendy this fall to purchase our home in Old Town and she could not have made the process any easier. From her availability to show us homes to walking us through the offer and settlement process step by step, Wendy made the home buying process as easy and stress-free as possible. She has extensive knowledge of historic Old Town homes and provided a lot of insight into the era that our home was built and how to begin to restore it. We would absolutely work with Wendy again to buy or sell a home and we highly recommend her! In addition to getting a new house, we also feel like we made a new friend."
- Stu and Lauren S."It is with genuine pleasure that I recommend Bob Johnson for realtor services in Northern Virginia. Bob is the perfect embodiment of what you seek in a realtor - professional, knowledgeable and informed, coupled with the aspects you admire in a good friend - concerned, caring and supportive of what you need and want in your purchase/sale. He helped me understand everything I needed to know to sell my house, and assisted with all the areas I needed to get done before closing. As we all know, this experience can be and usually is stressful, but Bob has the right demeanor to help you stay calm throughout the process. I wish I could take him across state lines to help me with my new house purchase, since he's the best realtor I have ever worked with."
- Susan Wool"Bob Johnson was professional, prompt, and helpful during the combination purchase and sale of two properties. His advice and knowledge of the local market meant we succeeded in transitioning from one property to the other without delay or dual mortgage payments for months and months. Aside from this, Bob is a great guy. I feel he genuinely was concerned about all aspects of our transaction from the closing down to the small details such as taking care of our cats while the unit was listed and we were out of town, or offering to fix minor things on the property to improve the presentation or even assisting in returning old paint to hazardous materials disposal. Trust me - you just don't get this level of involvement from just any realtor. Thanks Bob!"
- Ross Carver"Bob Johnson is an extraordinary real estate professional who exceeded my expectations in every way. I highly recommend Bob to anyone interested in buying real estate from an experienced agent who knows how to find value and goes the extra mile to make sure the property is what it appears to be. From interviewing potential neighbors to reading every page of the HOA documents Bob was there for me. There is no other agent I would buy or sell from in Northern VA . Based on my recommendation Bob found my brother an apartment he is thrilled with and is selling his single family home in the suburbs. Bob is my family's realtor and I will continue to recommend him to family and friends. I have purchased a number of homes and in doing so have worked with a variety of different realtors. Bob knows the Northern Virginia Real Estate market and he knows his clientele; his understanding of the right property to fit my needs allowed me to find the perfect home at the right price. In every aspect of the purchasing process and even after I closed and moved in Bob has been my resource for answers regarding my new home."
- Merri Davis"Martha helped us submit our offer at midnight - walked us through the process and answered all of our questions - we felt this was above and beyond!"
- Travis and Sarah Clark"10 out of 10! Martha was extremely helpful and answered all of our questions. She explained everything very clearly and took care of us from start to finish. Very smooth transaction."
- Tyler and Kathryn Gall"My boyfriend and I had an excellent experience working with Clay Burke to find our new condo. As first-time homebuyers, we didn't know what to expect from this process. His easygoing and friendly demeanor meant a no-pressure search. Clay offered excellent guidance to help make our offer stand out, without paying more than market conditions justified."
- Purchaser - DC"Clay was great! I'll definitely recommend Clay to friends."
- Purchaser - DC"Every piece of advice translated to a good contract that exceeded expectations! We were kept informed every step of the way. I would recommend Clay and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell."
- Seller -DC"Clay was great to work with. He gave excellent advice and was very responsive at all times."
- Purchaser - DC"Above and beyond!. Sissy and her team of Vici Boguess and Clay Burke are the epitome of professional and knowledgeable agents. They compliment each other skills and make the entire sales process run smoothly and efficiently. The team is a delight! We have bough and sold many homes/properties over the years and have never had any experience come close!"
- Seller - Alexandria"Finding a home with one dog is challenging let alone three dogs who range in size. While we faced many barriers, working with a Realtor who understood our pet needs was not one of them. A pet owner can always tell another animal lover, and that is exactly what we got with Lisa!"
- Jacquie R. - West Springfield"Jodie is a true asset to McEnearney. One of our neighbors (a good friend of mine) recommended her. She had lost money on her sale. "Why would you recommend her?" I asked. "Because she made a very stressful and difficult process easy and a pleasure." Wow! So true! Jodie is known for fair, accurate pricing which made a huge difference. She spent so much of her own time helping with staging to make my home perfect. It made all the difference! I couldn't appreciate her more. I hope McEnearney appreciates her, too!"
- Kathryn D."It was all about the McEnearney representative. Both my wife and I have been lucky enough to have been able to utilize Pat Crusenberry for several real estate transactions throughout the years. She is the best without a doubt."
- Chris/Seller and Buyer"Pat more than met our expectations in the time she spend preparing our old house for sale, the recommendations she made that helped us to sell it quickly and at full price, and in how she represented us as we bought out new house. Pat went above and beyond throughout the entire process. We would happily have her represent us again in the future and will gladly recommend her to friends."
- Tracy and Dave/Sellers and Buyers"Pat was perfect to work with. You are lucky to have her on your team."
- Cyndi/Seller and Buyer"Exceeded expectations. Pat is a 100% professional."
- Olga and Robert/Sellers"We had an excellent experience. We will recommend McEnearney and Pat Crusenberry to family/friends. Pat made our home buying experience very enjoyable."
- Ryan and Andrea/First Time Buyers"I was a first time home buyer and did not know what to expect of the search/purchase process. Pat did an excellent job of explaining to me what I should expect through all parts of the process. She listened to my comments and stayed abreast of the market, ultimately identifying the property I wound up purchasing. She was extraordinarily patient with me and afforded me every attention."
- Laura/First Time Buyer"Pat Crusenberry more than met our expectations. She was very helpful in helping us prepare our rental unit for sale. Her advice was invaluable to making our unit look its best and get it sold quickly and for a fair price. I would recommend her to anyone I know who is selling real estate in the area and would certainly have her represent me again. I can't think of anything to improve my experience. What a wonderful person and agent."
- Wendy/Seller"Pat went above and beyond to find the right home for us. She found more options than I could have imagined, devoted entire days to driving us around to listings, responded quickly to all of my emails and phone calls, and most importantly she reassured me that we would find the right fit and we did! We found a wonderful home that meets all of our needs and exceeds our expectations. We could not have had a better experience than the one we had with Pat."
- Renter""We would like to thank you for helping us sell our house and purchase our new house. You definitely went above and beyond and we truly appreciate your patience, guidance, and caring.""
- Seller/Buyer"Thank you for your expertise, honest opinions, and most of all, your patience. I think we finally found the perfect house and we couldn't have done it without you. Thank you for much. You are wonderful!"

- First Time Buyers""Thank you so much for all your help with our transition into landlording. It's been great to have someone I know and trust in my corner throughout the process. Thanks for getting us answers and providing the occasional handholding. I'm not sure it would have been so smooth without you.""
- Rental Listing"Lisa Groover was a joy to work with as I purchased one home and sold another. She represented me on both sides and was very in tune with my needs and wants. Lisa is accessible, knowledgeable, motivated, and a great negotiator. I enjoyed every step of the process with her. Her patience and guidance went beyond that of a realtor, and was more like a trusted friend. She has a sunny personality and a real flair for putting on the best and most memorable open houses. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lisa to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."
- Beth L. - Beauregard Heights & Sulgrave Manor"I have worked with many real estate agents in the Washington, DC Metro area. Many different types of properties and very different selling prices. Lisa brought more overall knowledge and enthusiasm to this transaction than I have ever experienced. It truly was an exceptional experience as the seller to work so closely with Lisa. She understood from the very beginning what to do and how to do it with success. I will hire her again every time I have real estate to sell."
- Tricia F. - Brocketts Crossing Condominiums"Santiago is an outstanding realtor. He possesses an impressive knowledge of his market and he provides excellent service. He pays attention to the client's specifications and does not try to push a listing that does not serve the client's needs just to close a deal. In addition, he is a masterful negotiator and was able to negotiate a dream deal for me."
- Spyros (Source)"My sister Juli, my wife Maria, and I want to thank you for your excellent work in selling 519 Canterbury Lane -- getting us from listing to closing in less than two months in the middle of winter. My mother Judy Drewry certainly knew what she was doing when she selected you as the listing agent. We had seemingly countless decisions to make to get such a large house ready for market. You gave us consistently sound advice and were ever mindful of our budget constraints. You were invariably on top of the many details involving repair, landscaping, painting, presentation, and other matters. We're grateful for the practical solutions guidance and for your help in connecting us with competent contractors. Your success in setting a fair price and implementing effective marketing was evidenced by the heavy traffic at open houses and an excellent offer within 30 days of listing. Thank you again for being such a splendid teammate in this endeavor."
- James D."I just want to express my deep gratitude for your assistance and hard work in selling my home. From our first meeting, you provided excellent guidance and advice. Your staging, suggestions and contacts with workmen were right on target. You went above and beyond the call of duty to make the house selling process painless! Due to your expertise, my house sold in one day! It would not have been possible to achieve a quick closing without your help. Your attention to detail kept the process on track. I would recommend you to any of my friends looking for a real estate agent."
- Jane Nelson"Jim helped me navigate the rental market in beautiful Leesburg, something I thought I could do by myself with all the online search vehicles. He made the winnowing down and visiting process so much easier than when I was trying to go it alone; and his knowledge of the area proved valuable in finding exactly the right home for me in the lower end of my price range. I really appreciate the hard work Jim put in on my behalf, and highly recommend him to anyone looking to rent or buy in the Leesburg area."
- Lori Kenyon Huffman"I bought my condo with the help of Jim Pumphrey 2 years ago and it was a great experience. I was a first time home buyer and was so overwhelmed and nervous about the process. Jim was able to help guide me through the process and find the perfect home for me. He worked hard to make sure that I had what I needed and always answered my questions. I would definitely go back to Jim in the future when it's time for a new home and would certainly recommend him to anyone who needs a realtor."
- Kristin Moats"Jim was very professional with the sale of my property. He took some great pictures of the place, did a good job advertising, held open houses, was a big help getting the well and septic inspections, helped me find contractors for repairs and getting the buyers signing off on all related issues. I would highly recommend Jim and have already done so to other people."
- Sam Orrison"My experience as a first time home buyer with Mr. Pumphrey was fantastic! He gave me the best advice and helped me throughout the entire process. Any question I had he answered in a very understandable way! He did everything in his power to make the home buying process a breeze and I recommend him to all of my friends as the best realtor in Leesburg!"
- Heidi Moats"It was a pleasure to have Lisa Groover help us find our new home in Alexandria. We met Lisa a day before we had to return to Florida and she was willing to show us condos for rent within an hours notice. Lisa is completely dedicated and provided professional services. She continues to keep in touch with us and let us know her favorite restaurants to visit."
- Liz & Jeff T. - The Royalton Condominiums"Here I am in North Carolina completing a transaction in Virginia with my REALTOR for life, Pat Smith at McEnearney Associates. This is my 6th transaction with Pat. Thank you, thank you Pat. You are the best."
- Julie C."My agent, Pat Smith and your company met and exceeded my expectations. Pat's research of what was on the market to inform our price setting was most helpful and helped us meet our expectations / hopes for sales price."
- C. Golding"Jean Beatty, provided me with exceptional service from the very beginning of the sale of my home in Cherrydale, during the marketing and right through the settlement. Jean is creative in her marketing approach and never lets you feel as if you are alone. She gives her attention to your home and is totally available for questions and concerns. I very much appreciated her staging ideas and her ability to capture the assets in my home in her impressive marketing brochure which she mailed out in the hundreds to prospective buyers. Her knowledge of the area and interest in her work was what made the sale go through in a few short weeks. Even though the first Open House was scheduled for the weekend of the "snowmagedon", Jean never seemed to let up her enthusiasm and cheerfulness in getting my house sold. Jean left no stone unturned to make sure that my home sale was as easy as possible."
- Mary O."I had the great delight to have Sabina involved with the selling of my house in Kensington. We interviewed three realtors and settled upon Sabina and McEnearney Associates. She displayed confidence and excitement right off the bat. She brought in a professional photographer and had an excellent brochure completed in just 2 days. The first open house brought in 16 groups of people and within 8 days a contract was placed on my home! This was especially critical for us because we were moving to Florida in just 3 weeks. She took care of all business related to closing. The papers were sent via Federal Express and all was wrapped up with a nice bow. I would highly recommend Sabina for anyone that may be interested in buying or selling a home."
- Chris Tucker"There is no way we could have done this without you! We were overwhelmed with all that was involved with relocating to the Washington, DC area from Cincinnati. You helped us find exactly what we were looking for in one weekend, so we didn't need to make multiple trips back and forth before our move. Your expertise helped save us time and money and your personal attention made us feel welcome in our new hometown."
- Lauren & Brandon"Dear Sabina - We want to thank you for getting us our dream home! Seriously, you went above and beyond. Not only were you extremely patient with us throughout the process (sometimes it felt like we were that couple on HGTV with different wish lists and unrealistic expectations!), but you then were so helpful to give us advice about renting our house, set us up with painters, and most importantly, give us interior design advice about paint colors. We are so pleased with how everything turned out and we will gladly pass along your name to all our friends."
- Jennifer & Brian Chen"Dear Sabina - Thank you for all your hard work selling my parents' home. Dealing with aging parents who can no longer live at home is extremely challenging. You helped make the process much easier with your dedication and attention to detail. Your advice on home prep and your recommendations for contractors were extremely helpful. I greatly appreciated you taking care of the plumbing repairs while I was out of town and periodically checking on the vacant property while it was on the market. Your constant updates and thorough communication kept us informed of all developments on a regular basis. It was wonderful working with you."
- Gloria Capron"Bob did an extraordinary job helping us sell our property. Thanks to his extensive networks in the real estate sector, we found a buyer almost immediately after our property went on the market. He was resourceful and went above and beyond his call of duty to help us with the preparations and paperwork to close the transaction. Finally, he was professional, always responsive and has a pleasant disposition."
- Kim Novozhilov"Lauren was great. She was very responsive to all of our questions and concerns, and represented the company well."
- E.F."Our experience with Janet Price was very positive. We would recommend her to anyone."
- Claudette and Al Downs, Belle Haven"Thank you. Nice doing business with you. I will ask you when I am ready to sell my 2 condos."
- Shaoann Shon, Belle Haven"Janet brought exceptional talent, commitment and energy to the sale of our home. From the earliest discussions to the final closing we knew that we were dealing with a detail-oriented professional who cared about us, not only as clients but as people. We are most grateful."
- Rene and Paul Wee, West Alexandria"Janet Price is a maestro of real estate. She orchestrated the sale of our home always mindful of our needs and ensuring a successful outcome. Her expertise makes the difference."
- Liz and Nelson Huldin, Belle Haven"You're the best agent I've ever worked with. You are wicked smart!"
- Claudia A., Delray, Clifton"I met with Tammi Curran last September to discuss the sale of my home in Fairfax Station. I wanted to have the house ready for the Spring sales market and needed to begin the process of downsizing for my next move. Tammi suggested a timetable that was tremendously helpful in allowing me to meet my goal. She thoroughly researched the sales in my neighborhood, and after touring my home, she told me that she was confident I could get a much higher price than the most recent comps. Tammi made thoughtful comments about areas that I might want to consider updating before selling. She recommended a contractor who was quickly able to accomplish the work. Knowing that I was also very involved running my own business, she volunteered to take on the role of project manager. Tammi selected all the materials and finishes and was at the house regularly supervising the work. The renovations were relatively inexpensive but the results were fantastic giving my home a very polished, updated look. Tammi checked in with me on a regular basis to see how my downsizing efforts were coming along and even volunteered to help with that effort. On the morning that the marketing photos were to be taken, Tammi arrived at my home with a car load of beautiful items from her own home to compliment my staging. Tammi has exacting standards and the photographer she hired took stunning photos of the property. After just two days on the market, I received four offers on my home. I accepted an offer well above the list price. Tammi then took it upon herself to be at my house to meet with the appraiser when he arrived to give him data which supported this price. This was crucial because the price was $44,000 higher than any sale in my neighborhood in the last two years. The house appraised and a new record for Crosspointe was set! I also ran into a last minute problem with my HOA. Even though she was out of town attending her daughter's college graduation, Tammi took the time to call the Association Manager to try to resolve the open issue. At every step of the way during this transaction, Tammi was my advocate. In fact, I felt as if I was Tammi's only client. Selling your home is a stressful process. I greatly appreciated Tammi's kind and caring approach, her great sense of humor and intelligence, and the professional way in which she conducted herself on my behalf. I would recommend Tammi without hesitation."
- Philip D. Knott"She was great. Very pleasant, accommodating and trustworthy. I felt that she went out of her way to help us. Lauren FaceTimed quite a few properties with us since we were out-of-state to help us find a place — thank you!"
- L.R. & J.R."We hired Kathleen after interviewing three other real estate agents. We decided to go with Kathleen because of her great attitude and enthusiasm in selling our home. Due to her hard work and dedication our home sold in record time. Even after the home sold Kathleen worked tirelessly to ensure the transaction went smoothly and effortlessly. She did a great job coordinating the efforts between the buyer's agent and Title Company and the entire time keeping us updated on the progress. Bottom line, we would hire Kathleen again."
- Gregg and Wanda"Kathleen was a pleasure to work with. I'm a first time homebuyer and I felt confident that she always tried to protect my interests as best as possible. She is very kind, genuine, and communicative. I got the second condo we put a contract on and it meets all of my search criteria!"
- Daniel"Working with Kathleen was nothing short of pleasant. She took the time to get to know us, and what we really wanted in a home. She helped us find the perfect house and made sure we'd be able to call it home. Throughout the house search and closing process, Kathleen worked tirelessly as our agent. She went above and beyond, while we were out of the country, to make sure that all of our inspections and repairs were coordinated and completed. Working with Kathleen, we had peace of mind throughout the entire home buying process."
- Bethany and John"I was so lucky to have found Lisa. She saw the value in my historic condo right away and was a whiz at marketing it. She even teamed up with a local artist for a 'meet the artist' open house to help it stand out and created lots of interest (and buyers!) as soon as it hit the market. Lisa takes the time to think creatively, work with you on ideas and next steps, and communicate with you every step of the way. I stayed on with her to buy my next property and she was just as wonderful! Prepared, patient, and pleasant during what can be a stressful process. She was completely on top of the negotiating and closing process as well. Lisa is a gem!"
- Julia S. - Courts Condominiums - Old Town and Oak Cluster Townhomes - Del Ray"We could not be more pleased with Lisa Groover as our realtor. Being the first time we sold a home she made us feel like her only client, available at all hours of the day and night, and was extra attentive to our needs as we have 3 dogs. She knew that not only was this going to be stressful for us but also our 4 legged children.We would use Lisa again in a heartbeat!!!"
- Tracy N. & Sherrie R. - Seminary Valley - Alexandria"My wife and I met Lisa Groover during an open house we attended at a building where there were several properties being shown on that day. Because of this, we had the opportunity of meeting about four agents on the same day. Lisa was among them; however, she immediately stood out from the crowd. She made us feel very comfortable and very much at ease. We were so impressed with her, we later engaged her to be our agent. She was patient, and always very aware of our needs and likes. She worked tirelessly to match us with the right property. If she is your agent, prepare yourself to have your real estate dreams become a reality."
- Essdras S."My husband and I had our hearts set on living in Old Town, but Lisa Groover helped us see the community ideal for our lifestyle was actually Cameron Station. It's a perfect fit for our preferences and pocketbook and we are very happy in our Cameron Station Condo."
- Jasmine S. - Cameron Station"Lisa was fantastic! She was able to very quickly size up my "needs" and my "would like to haves" in our search. This synchronization of my expectations with her knowledge of the market resulted in very little wasted motion or time.It was not about volume it was about finding the right fit."
- David C."Lisa was excellent. She loves this region, and she knows it like the back of her hand. She is very proactive, and goes the extra mile for the client. I could not fault her drive or effort. I recommend her unreservedly."
- Jim B."Lisa was wonderful to work with. She helped us tremendously as we searched for our first home together. We found the perfect place for us as well as our pets!"
- Megan E. - Fayette Court Condominiums"Working with Kathleen was nothing short of amazing! I needed to relocate to Virginia to be closer to DC and did not want to go the apartment route. She took the time to explain the rental process to me of what to expect. She also relieved much stress since there were numerous communication issues with the other realtor representing the owners. All in all she made a complicated process easy and quick with all my needs being met. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and use her again when it's time to buy a home. She is what a realtor should be: helpful, encouraging, and understanding. Thanks Kathleen!"
- Monica"Kathleen was great to work with in finding our rental in the Alexandria area. We contacted her from overseas and could not have asked for a more responsive agent! She listened to what we said and she had excellent advice and suggestions concerning our move. We could not have asked for a better agent and will be using her again for all of our future real estate needs!"
- Kristen and Dennis"Kathleen was able to get our property leased within in one week of the listing going live. She was extremely responsive and very eager to achieve success. Our property did not sit unrented - our previous tenants moved out mid August and the new tenanted are moving in on September 1st!"
- Jenny and Brandon"Excellent service! JaneEllen listened to us, was patient, understanding, diligent, prompt, bore our broad range of possibilities with good humor, and performed outstanding due-diligence at critical moments. She was essential to our finding the perfect new home - and she succeeded!"
- Peter Beck"JaneEllen was awesome! She was wonderful and went above in her help in finding us a place. . . She was the greatest!"
- Marie and Ruben McCann"Lauren was extremely responsive, patient and professional. The access she gave us to search McEnearney listings was a great benefit as first-time renters. Thank you again!"
- E.A."Lauren was very attentive and responsive. She was always very clear about the services she offered. I always felt I had a partner throughout the search process. Lauren's energy and enthusiasm was very much appreciated. I had a great experience with McEnearney Associates."
- D.M."Lauren's service was exceptional. She provided informative, attentive and accommodating service. She helped to ensure that my search for a rental unit was seamless."
- T.C."We have worked with Robin for almost 10 years, through 3 transactions. Regardless of the sale, regardless of the issues that come up, Robin is a consummate professional, and understands the transaction and process better than most of her peers. Her response time is ridiculous fast (we have a theory that she doesn't sleep). Her understanding for navigating issues is second to none. No one else has a Plan, a backup Plan, and a backup to the backup Plan like Robin. She is always a step ahead of everyone else. Even though Zillow and Redfin and other online tools put a significant amount of control with the buyer or seller, we can say, without a doubt, that we could not have made it through using online tools alone without Robin's skills and understanding."
- Tate and Laura G."This is a huge thank you to Wendy. She is an amazing real estate agent! Wendy was (and is) Superwoman and took care of everything and I mean everything. She would go to the house and let in contractors, follow up to make sure the house was locked up. She made suggestions on how to spruce up the house, keeping in mind a budget. We painted inside and out, polished the floors, landscaped, replaced a roof. The staging was awesome! She had great connections with great contractors and she followed up to make sure they did a perfect job. This house was in Old Town Alexandria and we received an offer the week it went up for sale and sold for more than the asking price! I highly recommend her. Her knowledge and love of Old Town is perfect. I will miss working with Wendy. Words cannot express how grateful I am for everything she did. Thank you Wendy."
- Melissa B."Wendy is a gem. From start to finish she did an excellent job of selling our home. We started a month ahead of placing our home on the market and she was a tremendous help with the contractors and everything else needed to get the home ready. From taking time to meet the contractors to giving advice on what buyers want to see, Wendy was there. She keeps you informed every step of the way. From start to finish she did an excellent job of selling our home, in four days no less. She walks you through every step from prep to offers to closing, she goes above and beyond in what she does. We highly recommend Wendy."
- Ed and Peggy A."Suellen was a steady hand throughout our transaction, and she always exceeded expectations. We are grateful for her expertise and efforts on this matter of huge importance to us...."
- Steven and Terri G."Fantastic. This was my first home buying experience so I was nervous and had tons of questions. She would always answer my questions quickly, thoroughly, and never made me feel like my questions were stupid. So responsive and optimistic. She made sure I knew all the options and possible outcomes. No surprises, which I really appreciated. Jean was so prepared with house packets when we went house hunting and all the paperwork at the end. Very well organized. I was super happy and will be sure to recommend both Jean & McEnearney in the future."
- Julia C."Jean was fabulous. She was completely attentive in all matters. McEnearney provided appropriate support for Jean. I would work with Jean again."
- Brendy & Robert E."Vici was a joy to work with! She is so knowledgeable and helpful!"
- Purchaser - Alexandria"We always wanted to live in Old Town Alexandria and when deciding on an agent to represent us, we wanted someone who knows everything about this wonderful town (i.e. the new restaurants that are coming, what changes are on the horizon) and someone who loves the town as much as we do. We found that person in Wendy Santantonio. She spent time getting to know us as well as really understanding what we were looking for in a house, and additionally gave us other ideas and suggestions. She did a great job helping us find the perfect place! We also used Wendy when selling our house in Island Creek in Alexandria. Wendy put a lot of time, effort and energy to help sell our house. Great pictures for the listings, good staging advice and kept us informed on anything that was happening not only with our house but also houses in the neighborhood. Overall we had a great experience with Wendy both buying and selling and highly recommend her services"
- Dan and Alison S."Lauren was great! She worked hard to get us what we wanted. Her advice was spot on. We would recommend her to anyone who asks and would not hesitate to use her again."
- A.D."When I began working with Nick on the sale of my rental property, I was already in a tough spot. The home had been on the market with another realtor for some time, and the monthly expenses were piling up faster than I could handle. Nick took charge right away. He listened to me thoughtfully,took my concerns seriously, and within days, he had visited my property several times and prepared a marketing plan that was perfectly tailored to my situation.As soon as we put the property back on the market, it was being shown frequently and was garnering serious interest among potential buyers. Then, in very short order, we had a contract and sale that greatly exceeded my expectations -- both in terms of the price that Nick negotiated and the short time that the property was on the market. That outcome was great, of course, but just as important to me was the peace of mind that I had throughout the experience. This was the single largest financial transaction of my life, and I had a lot riding on successful sale. Nick understood that and put me at ease. In speaking with him, I never felt brushed aside or hurried through a conversation. He was always easy to reach, and he took the time to make sure that all of my questions were answered at every stage. I don't think you could find a better realtor than Nick."
- James Verdier"We trusted Lauren blindly, and she did a fantastic job. Being overseas and having never met her, we felt confident and relieved by her constant contact and information flow. If Lauren represents [McEnearney's] attitude and demeanor — you are a winner! Never before have we trusted someone with such a big decision, and she truly came through! We felt at ease, and Lauren was there to keep a positive perspective during the entire process."
- G.G."Jean's level of service was unsurpassed! We moved from Australia to the US and Jean's services were so helpful that we actually put a bid in on a house from overseas. We wouldn't have done this normally but because Jean "drove" us around the area and took us to homes via Skype, we felt very comfortable. I have never had a realtor as good as Jean (and we've had a lot!). Her professionalism, friendly personality, and attention to detail are remarkable. I would highly recommend her services."
- Greg & Tina M."I would highly recommend Bruce to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Nothern Va. area. His professionalism and amiable style make him a pleasure to work with. With his help we got our 60+ year old home ready to sell with very little money and some great staging by him. We had people asking to put in offers before we even put it on the market. The day of our open house we received multiple offers and were able to get more than our asking price."
- Kamaka S."We had a *terrific* experience with Bruce. He led us through the process, and explained all the options that we might end up facing. And while he gave us suggestions for how we might deal with those choices, it was clear from the start that this was our transaction and that these were our choices. He didn't push, he never assumed, there was none of this "well, you'd better decide now 'cause the deal won't last forever"--instead he took on the role of a trusted advisor and we couldn't have been happier. Oh, and we sold our house in just a couple days, with terms that we needed, and at a price that we were thrilled with. Thank you Bruce!"
- Burgess A."Bruce was an excellent realtor for both our buying and selling process. Bruce actually came to our house about a year prior to our placing our house on the market to give us recommendations on what was needed to maximize the value of our house without engaging in unnecessary projects which would waste time and money. He then was involved every step of the way in the selling process. Bruce invested significant resources in advertising and held a broker's open the week prior to the listing. Even on a rainy weekend, we had over 70 groups come through our two open houses the first weekend. By the Tuesday after the Open House, we had 5 offers and were able to sell the house over list price. I would highly recommend Bruce as a realtor for both buying and selling homes. The most important thing I can say about working with Bruce is that I trust him. Every single recommendation he made and every strategy he and I planned ended up working the way we wanted it to. There are few people out there in real estate or otherwise that I believe I can trust this way and because of that, I cannot recommend him highly enough"
- Sharon B."This is my second time working with Bruce, this time working with him to both sell and buy a home. Bruce is incredibly knowledgeable about the region as well as the real estate industry at large. He listens carefully to what clients are saying and makes extremely thoughtful recommendations. He is always willing to go above and beyond to help with any issue and worked closely with me up to the day of move as well as afterward to ensure everything continued to go smoothly. He was there at every step to answer our questions, guide us along, and make sure that we were prepared for every contingency."
- Harris E."Bruce Fall helped us to sell two homes in the DC area. Bruce helped connect us with local contractors to do upgrades which helped to sell the house. Bruce was on top of things always and was constantly in-touch with us as the process went along. I would have no hesitation in recommending Bruce to others looking to sell their home"
- Pui-Teng H."Bruce is highly professional and always available-responsive to issues and needs AND open to ideas. He guided the preparation ideas for making the home ready-for-show-&-move-in by the new prospective buyers. Bruce organized a tremendously successful set of events for brokers and buyers to see all the positive aspects of the home"
- David B."Bruce did a great job selling our home. He actually sold it twice!! The first buyer defaulted on a written contract and Bruce quickly found us another purchaser."
- Mike I."Bruce helped with every step of the process and was very understanding that this was my first place. He knows the area well and added extra helpful advice at every step of the process. He responded very quickly to all my questions and I could always get a hold of him. He made my first buying experience great!"
- Lori R."My family and I were fortunate to work with Mary in selling our home after relocating to Atlanta. My company relocation program gave us an option of a couple of good realtors who prepared a market analysis and a marketing plan. After being introduced to Mary through a family friend we had her prepare an analysis for us as well. People often say the proof is in the pudding, well I'm here to say the proof is in the real work that realtors do. It was clear comparing the three agents that Mary's work product, local knowledge and aggressive marketing plan was superior. Mary stood out head and shoulders above the competition and we chose her to be our agent. It was the best decision we ever made. She gave us such outstanding personal attention, which was needed as we tried to sell a house from 700 miles away. She went above and beyond by recommending resources for key landscaping, handyman, and other services to maintain the property and keep it in top shape. This was in addition to proactively holding open houses, broker days, and the effective use of online and social media marketing. Our house sold at our asking price and Mary delivered the voluminous paperwork that was required through my firm's relocation agent without a hitch. She was a godsend. I would ABSOLUTELY use Mary again and I would highly recommend her for anyone who wants to buy and sell real estate in the Washington DC metro area."
- Robert Pettiford, Leesburg, VA"Mary Roberge is as good as it gets. She has assisted me with the sale of two homes. The first home she sold in two weeks, despite the fact that the Housing Market was at a standstill. Everyone was telling me that my house would be on the market for four months. If you are serious about selling your home, Mary Roberge is the Realtor that you need. She knows the business inside out. I would recommend her to everyone who seeks to sell their home. She is the best."
- Derrick Gregory, Dumfries, VA (and Triangle, VA)"Buying or selling a home, you will not be disappointed with Mary Roberge and the white glove, high touch quality of service she will provide to you. Mary has excellent communications skills and knowledge of the market. Don't make a "move" without Mary!"
- Sylvia O'Connell, Leesburg, VA (and Purchase in Reston, VA)"Mary assisted us with the sale of our primary residence in Leesburg Virginia and a rental property in Frederick Maryland. Mary's guidance on preparing the properties for buyer presentation was both realistic and focused on the areas that mattered most. Mary worked diligently within her real estate network to pre-stage our properties and raise awareness in the market. She was present for all showings, which was important to my husband and me, and her expertise was valuable in the negotiation process. Both of our properties had offers within days of being put on the market and sold much faster than we had expected! We have (and continue to) recommended Mary to friends and associates and enthusiastically recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and conscientious agent to assist with the sale of their home."
- Stephanie Skipper, Leesburg, VA (and Frederick, MD)"I have known Mary for quite a few years and she is not only a consummate professional, but a genuine person. I have trusted her with many real estate referrals only to be thanked by them for her great service. Mary makes it a point to know her community and the areas she serves to better her knowledge base for her clients."
- Ingrid Teasdale, Leesburg, VA (and Purchase in Leesburg, VA)"Mary is a first class Agent that was a delight to work with. Her guidance in all aspects of our home selling process was invaluable. She knows her craft extremely well and is an absolute professional for staging, pricing, and selling our home quickly. Hard working while maintaining the highest standards of integrity, she is an outstanding representative for the real estate profession. We would not hesitate to list with her again and she is a five star performer across all of your evaluation criteria."
- Bill and Karen Barattino, Purcellville, VA"I was referred to Mary after I was unable to get my house sold under another agent (after 3 months on the market over the summer). Mary was able to immediately diagnose the issues, properly assess the value, and market it effectively. After relisting our house with Mary in the off-season, we received a competitive offer and Mary helped negotiate the sale to keep as much money in our pocket as possible. She was extremely helpful in scheduling and completing any repairs required due to inspection results and coordinated the closing while we were out of state. She was always very responsive, knowledgeable, and I highly recommend her to get your house sold!"
- Kerry Smith, Chantilly, VA"Working with Mary was a great experience from start to finish. First, she is very knowledgeable with regard to the local real estate market. Second, she is very responsive to inquiries. In addition, she will provide you with candid and informative feedback. I highly recommend her."
- Jim and Laura Beglis, Ashburn, VA"We wanted a realtor who understood the market in our target area and appreciated our needs as a young family. We were not just searching for a house, we were searching for a home and community we could grow into and love. We met Ross six months before we committed to looking for a new home and we knew he was a perfect match for our needs. Ross's experience in the area far exceeded our expectations his knowledge of the entire home buying process from our first showing to closing made our experience seamless and enjoyable. We felt like the purchase of our home was not just another business transaction for Ross - he truly cared about our family and our community. We highly recommend Ross Hunt because of his attention to detail, professionalism, and his ability to connect with his clients."
- David and Marie S."Ross was extremely attentive every step of the way and took all the worry out of the process for us. He helped us decide on a house, assured that we got our first choice, and worked through the entire sale process managing our busy schedules. He handled everything from negotiating with the HOA about our pets to recommending a dog walker. He was a great advocate, friendly and well-connected."
- Fran and Jennifer B."Miriam Miller represented us for both the purchase of our new home and sale of our former home. Miriam's amiable follow-up, follow-through, and unflappable positivity made the difference. Our complex transaction, from the sale of home contingency, below- price purchase and above list price sale, through a challenging timeline, would not have succeeded without Miriam's perseverance and unfailing optimism. Miriam infuses her realtor practice with genuine warmth and a personal touch. Miriam was always available and responsive to our concerns. If you're seeking a knowledgeable professional with both grace and tenacity, look no further than Miriam Miller. Miriam, I credit your gentle persistence with keeping our complicated deal on the rails, when it could have more easily run off the tracks. We're still beaming with satisfaction and enjoying our new home. Thanks for helping us make it possible."
- David and Elisa S."Looking for a new home can be a daunting process, particularly for a first-time homebuyer like me. Miriam's in-depth knowledge of the market and the area helped me to find a fantastic home that fit exactly what I was looking for. She also took the time to walk me through each and every step, making sure that I was comfortable with the process and had all of the information I needed. Her professionalism, affability, thoroughness and attention to detail made it a truly wonderful experience and exceeded all of my expectations. It was a pleasure to work with Miriam and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."
- Kristin E."Miriam is a God send. Moving is stressful whether buying or renting. My three roommates and I struggled to find a place to live, and with a short window (less than a month and a half) we decided to reach out for help. She was able to work with our varied work schedules and set house viewings in a short time. Miriam was responsive, diligent and extremely helpful while fielding all my anxiety driven messages. We appreciated all of her hard work, consistency, and follow up that helped us find a new place to live. The four of us are extremely grateful for her abilities and would recommend her to anyone looking for help with the real estate business."
- Jillian B."Hats off to Miriam for her wonderful, calm, optimistic presence throughout what could be a very stressful time. We were buying our first house and the entire family was in on the process from day one. From the day we met Miriam she was professional, knowledgeable, and resourceful. We had very little experience with the buying process so she walked us through each step in an easy to understand and confident manner. She took the time along the way to explain time frames, requirements, and requests. On closing day, we had a stress free walk-through and settlement because Miriam had already set us up for success. We highly recommend Miriam as an agent especially for a family of first-time buyers."
- Jim and Keri P."We highly recommend Bob Johnson for your real estate needs. We asked him to find a home with a large yard in a specific school district. Thanks to Bob's diligent work, we'll enjoy watching our children walk the 150 yards to the school. Throughout the search, buying process, and afterward, he was extremely responsive (within minutes), always accommodated our schedule, and went above and beyond what we expected from an agent including spending several days working neighborhoods and talking to residents to find leads on people that might be looking to sell their home. Bob gave us excellent advice in structuring our bid to maximize the probability of getting the property without overpaying. We only put an offer on one house and we got it thanks to Bob. Bob always had our best interest at heart. Prior to purchasing our home, we considered bidding on a couple of other homes. Bob fully investigated these homes and even though he would have made a very large commission very soon after we started searching, Bob pointed out the reasons why we shouldn't purchase these homes. Bob is also great with kids! Our three-year old and one-year old both quickly took to Bob so he was able to lend a hand when we looked at homes This was very helpful because we didn't have to find a baby sitter every time we wanted to see a home. Our three-year old would regularly ask, "are we going to see Bob today?" Bob had our complete trust and we couldn't be more pleased with his assistance."
- Nedim Kirimca and Jeanne Morrissey"Terry was fantastic--super knowledgeable with the area, very friendly and patient, and committed to helping us find the right home. We really appreciated her dedication and professionalism."
- Buyer, Arlington, VA"Lauren provided top-notch customer service. She was available every time I called and responded promptly to emails. I appreciated her candidness with me about property conditions, as I was using Facetime to choose a rental property."
- P.R."On Jean's Level of Service: "Top Notch. Jean cared about us every step of the way. She went out of her way to find us our perfect house, not any preconceived notion of what she thought would be right for us. She made a point of acknowledging everyones opinions -- from our 14 year old's to ours! If other McEnearney realtors are as outstanding and brilliant as Jean, then your firm is tops in our book!" On the transaction: "Jean always made sure we were good with everything that was happening/ Explained all in detail. Even cares today months after our purchase! When I call with questions, she still answers." On Suggestions: "Heavens no! Don't change anything. (Obviously we love our realtor and now welcome her transition to our good friend.""
- Carolyn D."I chose Julie Pearson as my listing agent when I decided to sell my condo unit. I am so glad I did! While my unit was in Virginia, I had moved to Florida, so I needed an agent who was willing to do a lot of hands on work to get my unit ready for sale. Julie stepped in and oversaw many needed repairs and improvements, and the installation of a new dishwasher. I am sure many agents would not have been willing to put in so many hours and physical work to get my unit on the market. Julie is definitely the right person to help out of town sellers to get their property ready for sale. Once the unit was on the market, Julie got my unit sold in just 3 weeks! And I got a good price and terms for the sale. I highly recommend Julie Pearson for all your realtor needs. Thanks Julie!"
- Jeff"Julie Pearson handled the sale of my Falls Church townhouse in April. Her expert advice in preparing the house for sale, timing the open house, and deftly negotiating with seller representatives resulted in a speedy and, even more important to me, a relatively stress free sale. The thing that makes Julie special, though, is her attention to detail on behalf of her clients. She works to understand what is important to her clients and pays careful attention to what is needed. Her values and dedication make her a standout as a real estate agent, and I would highly recommend her."
- Amy"As an out of state seller, I relied on Julie not only as my real estate agent but also as a general manager in kitchen and bathroom renovation projects. She oversaw dealing with Arlington County. She helped me navigate Arlington County permitting requirements and many other details, major and minor. If you are looking for a full service, can do agent I recommend Julie 100%."
- Eric"Julie was an excellent real estate agent to work with. She made the whole process very low-stress for me. Once she knew the type of property I was looking for, she did a great job finding places I would be interested in."
- Clare"Kathleen was a delight to work with from the start! We were brand new to the area and she had endless patience with us as well as plentiful knowledge on all of the local communities. She is always professional and polite and though I don't want to move again anytime soon, I look forward to working with her again in the future!"
- Amanda and Phil"Working with Kathleen was a Godsend. She was patient, but really cared about my ideal dream home. As a first time buyer, I had no clue what I was in for, but she made the process so much easier than expected and fun. I don't look at Kathleen as only my realtor, but look at her as a friend. She was awesome and I will always be thankful to her for helping me and walking me through the process. She was always available and working for the best deal for me at all hours. I can't say enough how great it was to work with her! I'd recommend her to anyone! THANK YOU KATHLEEN!!!"
- Rasheeda"Terry has such a long history in the area and is super knowledgeable about schools, neighborhoods, and other local resources. She knows the market and works really hard to find the perfect home for her clients."
- Seller and Buyer, Arlington, VA"Thank you so much. We are so grateful we found you. You made this whole experience seamless and positive. You took all the worry for me. I still feel like we need to be pinched it all happened in a month. Now onto the next chapter of our lives. We will recommend you to anyone and everyone we know!"
- Jeff and Mary G."Donna went above and beyond to find us our new home. We can't thank her enough!"
- Macae and Ron L."Wendy Santantonio is an excellent realtor, in addition to being a good friend and neighbor. She is a true professional -- knowledgeable, energetic, creative and wise in her advice. She guided us through the process necessary to prepare our house for sale and then provided superb representation in the public relations phase of strategic advertising and showing the house. Wendy's command of real estate law throughout, but especially in the final phase of the process, was impressive."
- Joel and Zemphria B."I was referred to Jean by a friend. Jean was fantastic! She had great advice and helped us move quickly on properties we were interested in. We also had a great experience with McEnearney Associates, Inc. I loved the online portal with email updates when new homes fitting our criteria appeared."
- Alysa T."Lauren is exceptionally talented, extremely personable and very goal-oriented. Motivated by inherent desire and determination to help others, she works in a consistent fashion and continually seeks alternatives to roadblocks. Lauren has demonstrated an uncommon ability to gain the trust and confidence of the people with whom she works."
- M.S."Jean was always willing to go the "extra mile" for us, promptly answering our questions and alleviating any of our concerns. Jean helped us with every aspect of our sale, and her knowledge of the market as well as what we needed to do to prepare our home for sale was of great value. We can't thank Jean enough for all that she has done for our family!"
- Philip B."After years of browsing the local listings we finally found "the one" both in our new home and in the spectacularly talented Wendy Santantonio. We knew our moving process would be anything but simple with the sale of our previous home in the mix, but with Wendy's vast expertise and unwavering attention to detail we navigated each twist and turn with surprising ease. Her comprehensive marketing strategy and elegant staging solutions resulted in a great offer after only 6 days on the market. Without sacrificing an ounce of professional savvy, her tactfulness and diligence in all communications brought a sense of comfort and warmth to the personal side of each transaction. Through hundreds of decision points Wendy was by our side, always exceeding our expectations by leaps and bounds. Today our journey into our new home is filled with happy memories, and for that we will always have Wendy to thank."
- Mike and Sarah Kate S."There aren't enough good things I can say about Wendy! As young working parents, we didn't have a lot of time and energy to put into the home selling/buying process. Wendy removed a lot of the stress for us and took care of everything. She patiently answered countless questions, prepared a professional marketing plan, staged our condo beautifully, and handled sticky negotiations with ease. We worked with Wendy to purchase a new home as well. We wanted to stay in the Alexandria area, and having Wendy's "insider" knowledge on homes in Old Town and the surrounding areas was extremely helpful. Again she was very patient with us and focused on homes that would fit our growing family. We never, ever felt pressured. I'm so grateful she was with us for every step of the process. If we ever move again, we will certainly use Wendy's services! She is a true professional, and she is such fun to be around too."
- Brian and Missy H."Jean did a fantastic job! We were amazed at how available she was to help us find a home."
- Connor B."JaneEllen was responsive, professional, respectful, and tenacious. She made herself very available for questions and worked hard to get this transaction to closing and officially sold. This is a testament to her good work, perseverance, and patience."
- Shalini Mehta"Buying and selling real property is always a difficult proposition, but Yolanda is exceptional! Her professionalism, her "can do" attitude and her sunny personality made our transaction not only work but helped to make it more than a pleasant experience."
- Allen and Carol Klein"Yolanda M. Mamone has given me wonderful real estate help during the last half year of 2016. She successfully listed my apartment (which sold in 5 days) and sold me a new apartment. All of this has been done with dispatch, ethics, and professionalism. I highly recommend her."
- Francis W. Kraemer, Jr."We met Madeline when we were looking to rent a house back in 2009. Even before we arrived, she helped us narrow down the neighborhoods we were most likely to be interested in, planned visits to several possible rentals, and when we struggled to find something to suit our needs, she spent several more days helping us find the right home, in a great neighborhood. We were so impressed with her commitment to helping us, that several years later, when we decided to buy a home, we knew we wanted to work with Madeline. It was the best decision we made! During our home search, Madeline was always available for us, sending us listings, responding to our questions and coordinating many home walk-throughs. Because we were specific in the area we wanted to live, we were willing to wait for "the one." At no point did we ever feel pressured by Madeline to make a purchase. In fact, on a couple of "maybe" houses, she counseled restraint and provided information that we would have missed on our own an indication of her as a person and how much she cared about us and not just making a sale. My wife and I would ABSOLUTELY recommend her to our friends, and I simply would not buy another property without having her on our team! In fact, we feel like she is now part of our Northern Virginia family."
- T.D.""after eighteen years and seven transactions with this dear client, here is a good testament to building lasting and loyal relationships in our real estate world." Thank you for your perseverance and "can do" philosophy, We are obtaining a great new home because of your tireless efforts. We know how hard you worked to make this happen and to sell our existing home. We are very grateful. This is a great next step for our family and you played a significant role in it ---as you have at so many times in our lives. Love, Kathleen, Greg and Emory"
- Kathleen, Greg & Emory"Initially, I was considering several other brokers, but I am extremely happy that I went with Colleen Wright. She was head and shoulders above any other realtor I've worked with. She displayed an exceptional attention to detail (and I'm a lawyer) and responded to all of our many inquiries quickly and thoroughly. I couldn't recommend her any more highly."
- Chris L., - Buyer"Colleen was always responsive to my needs whatever they were. She always responded quickly and considerately to all requests. Colleen was always knowledgeable about what I should do and what was needed to be done. Shehad a very good understanding of all aspects of the sale. She was exceedingly patient with me answering all questions carefully and as if everyone would have such concerns. She made the sale and the closing pleasant and understandable for me in every detail. I was nervous about all of the details. I had always done such things with my husband before. She made me feel comfortable with all aspects of the sale. Colleen's performance was outstanding in every way."
- Elaine O., - Seller"There is no realtor in the world as good as Colleen. Colleen absolutely blew away every expectation we had for a realtor. I felt we could trust her 110% and would not use anyone else in the future. I cannot tell you how pleased we were with Colleen. And we are the only people we know that are this happy with our realtor."
- Adam and Melissa S., - Buyers"Colleen Wright is extremely conscientious, diligent, and thorough. She pays attention to detail and understands the business extremely well. I felt very well taken care of by Colleen. I would especially call out her patience with showing lots of houses. I was pretty schizophrenic while figuring out what I wanted, and Colleen humored all my whims. In the end I am extremely happy with the house and the price that I ended up paying."
- Bridget F., - Buyer"Colleen is one of the few realtors you will find who listen to your requirements and goes and finds the perfect place, she has the patience and knowledge to work with clients. The thing that sets her apart from previous agents I have worked with is she is not demanding or pushy -- she is looking out for her client and not what will be her commission. She does not attempt to show you properties that are outside your boundaries -- price or location in the hopes you will change your mind. Colleen is there when you need her via email or phone. Should I buy a property again, Colleen will be the first person I contact. I will highly recommend her to any friends or family."
- Ward D., - Buyer"Colleen was knowledgeable and responsive to our needs. As first time home sellers, we weren't sure what to expect, but she walked us through the process and gave us comfort that we were taking all of the appropriate steps to make our home as marketable as possible. In addition, she went above and beyond the call of duty in helping us prepare the house to go to market and address minor buyer issues immediately prior to closing. Throughout the process she kept us closely informed about viewings and feedback from buyer's agents. When we found a buyer, Colleen offered thoughtful and practical guidance about how to approach the negotiation and our counter-offers. Ultimately, we successfully sold our home within the extremely tight timeline that we had hoped. Overall, we had a wonderful experience working with Colleen and cannot recommend her highly enough."
- Brian F. - Seller"Ms. Wright impressed me with her ability to be simultaneously professional and engaging. She was responsive, and easy to work with while selling our condo. Colleen and her teammates were helpful during the staging process, and gave excellent advice during the negotiation phase. It was evident that she was experienced with legal processes and I appreciated the ease of the online signature option they offered whenever possible. Even though Ms. Wright's office was about 40 minutes away from our condo, she and her teammates did the work to understand the local market, and never complained about the drive. Colleen is a delightful, promising new realtor backed by an experienced and knowledgeable office."
- Becky T. - Seller"Colleen made me feel like I was her top priority. She had a great sense for the neighborhood I was interested in, was familiar with all the properties, and helped me find a great match quickly. When it's time for me to buy, she'll be my agent."
- Heather M. - Renter"Very responsible, honest, and truly cares about the home you choose. Susan never pressured us to make a decision, and brought her decades of expertise on Northern Virginia to the table to help us make a great decision on our home."
- N.M"Thank you very much for the outstanding support you provided to Gloria and I in the sale of our former house and purchase of the new one. Your instinct was right in encouraging Gloria to visit our new house when she originally was reluctant, thinking it was not worthwhile. But we are so pleased to be here now! Of course your help settling on a fair price, despite the tight market and competitive bids, was also most valuable. Our financing required a quick, but good sale of our former house. I still can't believe you succeeded in getting solid bids, at our price mark, the first week on the market! That really helped make the whole set of transactions feasible. Of course your insight into how best to show that house was no doubt key to that success."
- Ambassador David D. Nelson"Nothing short of excellent! I worked with Madeline to buy my first home and then 13 years later to sell it. She is professional, personable and a great advocate. Madeline is wonderful — I can't imagine buying or selling a home with anyone else. She just goes above and beyond to make what can be a challenging and emotional experience pleasant and easy."
- Kathleen P."Madeline was always there for me — emails, phone calls and in-person. Madeline was professional and always kept my needs and desires in mind during the home buying process."
- Father Daniel M."To whom it may concern, I am writing to comment on my long time relationship with Mary Roberge. I have known Mary since the late 1980's from her days in the title business, and have watched her evolve to have a successful career in real estate. There are several things that have always struck me as unique about Mary. First is that she truly cares about the people she works with. And this statement probably appears to have less value since it has become clich, thanks to every single realtor stating on their website, business cards and marketing pieces that they really care about their clients and always put them first. The sad truth is that most realtors put themselves first, and have turned caring about the client into a tired clich. Thanks to a quarter century of exposure to watching how Mary interfaces with her clients I can report that she truthfully does put her clients and other parties she interfaces with first. Mary is also unique in that she has a super human energy level. In all the time I have known her I have never seen her lacking drive, enthusiasm, a proactive train of thought or the desire to get things done to achieve the necessary results. She has the drive to get things done. Mary also has knowledge and comfort in all levels of business transactions, from small dollar value to high end transactions. Last, I would say an important asset of Mary's is how she connects to people. At the end of the day after all the technology, websites, search engine optimization, lead generation and marketing campaigns; this is still a business of people choosing to work with other people. Mary is likable, friendly, and comes across as trustworthy. That is what people want to choose when they are looking for someone to work for, or to work with. I would never hesitate to refer Mary to a homeowner, as a team leader, for a business opportunity, or to a friend who simply wants someone to talk to. Mary delivers at all levels."
- Brian Martucci"Lauren is an exceptional REALTOR who is different than most. Lauren is willing to help young professionals find a rental home knowing that most renters soon become buyers. She is willing to go above and beyond the expectations for her clients, even though she knows the short-term gain might be minimal. She has also been a homeowner living abroad, so she understands the needs of the investment buyer from a property management perspective, as well. I highly recommend Lauren for all your real estate needs, as she does such a tremendous job of connecting with her clients and getting to know them."
- T.M."Ann is outstanding! She just handles whatever arises even if it is crazy and unpredictable."
- Lisa Nash (Buyer/Seller - VA)"Wendy worked magic in getting our Old Town townhouse rented quickly. She guided us through the process graciously and efficiently. She analyzed the current market listings and helped us find the right price point. She suggested improvements and worked out the logistics with recommended contractors to ensure the work was done quickly. To our amazement, Wendy found a renter who wanted to move in immediately. She sped up the process, and from the time we signed with her to the time we signed the lease with our new renter was amazingly less than a month. She's lovely to work with and is so knowledgeable about Old Town. We were lucky to find her, and we would certainly contact Wendy again if we ever need to buy, sell or rent in Old Town. She's absolutely wonderful."
- Brianne A."If you are looking for a very knowledgeable realtor, I highly recommend Madeline Smart to reach out to. She helped us look for a home. She listens to what you want and works hard to find what fits your needs and your budget. Great experience with looking for a home! She made it very exciting for us!"
"Sandy is very knowledgeable about the financial and the legal requirements of the buyer and the seller. Our daughter recently purchased a condo and she quickly and expeditiously handled all of the paperwork necessary. Her experience in the real estate market allowed her to answer all of our questions and she was very judicious in bringing about a settlement price that made both the buyer and the seller satisfied. She has my highest recommendation."
"Lauren was excellent to work with! She made herself available in the limited time I had to find a home and continued to help me look for a "back up" in case we didn't get the home we wanted. She was friendly and helpful."
- H.T."Jerry Thatcher is the perfect realtor for you if you want a realtor to provide you with personalized service; a realtor that will respect you, your home, your concerns with buying or selling your home; a realtor who puts not just her expansive and extensive expertise of the housing market and housing trends into every action she does. Jerry puts her heart into every sale and purchase and elicits every client's dreams and needs for their housing search or sale. We have known and worked with Jerry for several home purchases and sales for almost 10 years. She is honest, trustworthy and a marketing genius. We, literally, would never make a move without Jerry on our side. Her knowledge of and skill with preparing and staging our home really set our property over the top. Our home sold within the first week for the asking price when Jerry listed it. You have a plethora of realtors to choose from in the Northern Virginia, Maryland and DC area. Why not chose the best for you and your family --Jerry Thatcher."
- Debbie and Joe J."As my immediate family has worked with Jerry in the past to sell their home in the Chantilly area, I contacted Jerry (very suddenly) July of 2016. I had called her - unannounced - on a Thursday, and was able to see the property that I was interested in on a Saturday in the Arlington area. I had seen properties with Jerry earlier that year/Fall of 2015 at different times in the past and was very comfortable to work with her. She was very knowledgeable of the areas and price ranges I was looking for, and had very good suggestions/ideas. In seeing this property in Arlington on a Saturday, it was not too long afterward that I put in an offer. Jerry had helped connect me to a mortgage lender (whom I vetted) and a firm to perform the closing. She was very terrific throughout the whole process through when I receive the keys to my property. Given her depth of experience, she was very easily - and honestly - able to answer my questions (which at times, as a first time home buyer, were very specific and detailed). A terrific depth of knowledge and experience in my opinion. Very easy to get in touch with, through email/text/phone, and to speak with. I truly felt at ease with Jerry, and that she was committed to helping me - through and through. I would definitely recommend Jerry to anyone - co-workers, friends, family - to work with her in the future."
- Joe K."Jerry has been like family to us since 2004 when she sold our first home. She was so great that she was our only choice (why leave a Winner) to help us sell our higher end home in Oak Hill, VA when we moved from the area in 2012, for employment reasons. Jerry always goes the extra mile to make sure she can meet us on "our schedule" and her helpful suggestions on how to show and sell the house for top dollar. And we did, realizing a very good sales price, owing it all to her fantastic planning, customer service and friendly "Hey, I have an idea." We moved back to Northern VA this fall and Jerry helped us navigate the difficult waters of finding a great place to rent that fit all our criteria - great neighborhood location that is both close to work and has that "nice community feel". Affordable and reasonably priced quality in a place that makes us feel like its our home. Jerry has an eye for all these things and adapts to what is most important to you as the buyer, seller or renter. We couldn't be happier with Jerry, a true friend that is always doing for others, has your back and shares your concern for your happiness when it comes to committing to a place with your wallet. She is the best of the best, as we have lived and sold homes in California and Northern VA before - no one touches her style, friendliness, energy and customer service."
- Steve and Katherine"The sale of your home is an important life decision. You can always trust a seasonal professional like Jerry Thatcher to help you navigate the process. Jerry makes the entire process of buying/selling a home a wonderful experience. She works hard to make the transactions easy and she understands the market trends. Even after the papers are signed she continues to remember you, stay in contact and become a genuine friend in every way. She puts you and your family first."
- Walter and Melanie"Jerry is an excellent real estate agent, not only with her creative ideas to sell your home, but her undying support and solutions when purchasing a property. She will be who I call again when I am ready to sell and/or purchase another property in a couple of years. I highly recommend her."
- Joann"I have visited Jerry's well-organized and thoughtfully-presented open houses. I have also seen the tenacity and honesty with which she represents her clients. She builds long-lasting relationships with her clients and colleagues. Highly recommended!"
- Dave C."Over the past 10 years, Jerry sold three of our homes and helped us buy one of our homes. She also connected us to the Realtor that helped us buy our current home out-of-state. She is second to none. The best of the best!!!"
- Phillip and Heather"Jean was excellent. She was very thorough and worked very quickly. We loved working with her."
- Maria H."I recently contacted Lisa Smith with McEnearney Associates to list my townhome in the Alexandria, Hollandtown Brookville subdivision. Lisa assisted me from beginning to end. Her expertise, professionalism, and integrity is sought out by the industry's best. That's why it was no surprise when Lisa sold my home in one short week after listing. Lisa kept me abreast of the entire process. Her friendly personality made the home selling process that much easier. If you are in the market to buy or sell Lisa Smith is your realtor. She will get the job done right and you will walk away a satisfied customer just like me."
- Karen from Alexandria"Jodie exceeded my already high expectations. She was fantastic! Enthusiastic, professional, insightful, empathetic, and intuitive. I was a first time home buyer with all those additional needs. Jodie is a dream agent! She could not have done a single thing to improve my experience. I am very grateful."
- Susan B."Simply put, Miriam Miller is by far the best Realtor we have ever worked with. From the listing to the "sold" sign, Miriam delivered professionalism and energy. She was there from beginning to end - friendly, knowledgeable and committed to excellent service. We will recommend Miriam Miller every chance we get. Thanks Miriam!"
- Eric and Christine N."Absolutely professional and an excellent judge of the market! If you are in the market, for buying or selling, Sandy is the one to use. Having known Sandy since we purchased in 2006, we knew we would use her to sell when we sold."
""We loved working with Michael. He was very responsive and professional - and patient! He showed us things we loved and opened our possibilities to new neighborhoods. The transaction was flawless.""
- The Pashaj Family"Working with Jerry made the home-buying process a breeze. My husband and I were looking to buy our first home together and were nervous about the process. From the initial meeting, we knew that Jerry was the Realtor for us. She was available to us via phone, text, email -- you name it. We ended up building a new home, which is an even longer process, and Jerry was right there with us every step of the way. She truly acted as the liaison between us, the builder and the mortgage company. We're so appreciative of her help and knowledge, and thankful to be living in the home of our dreams."
- Lauren and Tyler"Ross went out of his way to ensure our first home-buying experience was as easy as possible. He is personable, treats his clients like family--always acting in their best interest--and has an unrivaled knowledge of the real estate market. We couldn't have had a better experience, there is no one better in the area to represent you than Ross Hunt!"
- Adam and Alexandra R."Lauren was thoroughly enthusiastic, energetic and hard-working. She made every effort to help us find the home we were looking for, even driving to D.C. to show us a condo on a moment's notice. She was as invested on our search as we were and did everything she could to make the transaction as stress-free as possible. We're glad to call Lauren a friend and would not hesitate to recommend her to others."
- A.C.B."My experience in recently selling the family home with Jodie Burns was amazing! She was able to come into the property and assess it quickly. I was provided with a detailed and easy to follow list of items to improve on the appearance of the house. Once complete, the house was photographed and quickly listed. Not only did she generate buzz beforehand about the property soon coming on the market but when it was listed, it took a total of FOUR days to sell at a price higher than the market comparable price initially asked. Jodie was available to answer the many questions that arose during the preparation process (complete with a list of local services to assist in the process) and ably guided me through the selling process right down to the final signing. Additionally, she was able to assist me with relocating after the sale which was something unexpected and done with good cheer with an ample selection of properties to view. She was pleasant and always available, thoughtful, sensitive to my requests and supportive during what can be a difficult process. I highly recommend Jodie Burns for your next real estate transaction."
- Brad F."A close friend suggested Jodie Burns as our listing agent. It was the best recommendation!! From the very first day, Jodie expertly analyzed both the market and buyer demographic, and adroitly staged the house for maximum visibility and sales potential. Throughout, she was accessible, straight-forward, and refreshingly honest. Halfway through, we moved from northern Virginia and relocated to our retirement home in Maui. Jodie did not miss a beat. Long distances and the 5-6 hour time difference did not impede either the selling process or her accessibility. The house received multiple bids and Jodie shepherded everything to a comfortable sale just a few weeks later. Selling or buying a home can be filled with anxiety. Jodie made the process work for us. It was a delightful experience -- all because of Jodie. We strongly recommend Jodie as your agent. You will enjoy it and then extend your recommendation to others."
- Greg S."Bob is THE realtor you need - especially if you are a first-time home buyer. After conducting an extensive realtor interview process with several different firms, we both knew Bob was the perfect fit. Now having won a seven-offer bidding war on an open-concept, single-family home with a 10 minute walk to the metro, we're even more sure of our decision. He was patient (never once did we feel pressured to consider a home that didn't exceed our expectations), a fantastic resource (he should really teach a first-time home owner course), always available, proactive/thorough (researched energy efficiency of windows, gas line availability, roof replacements costs, and talked to neighbors at multiple properties), and an all around stand-up guy. Since closing, he's continued to surpass our expectations by providing us with a comprehensive list of quality vendors and visiting on move-in day with a welcome present. Even when plumbing issues arose after settlement that were impossible to detect before closing, Bob ensured they were dealt with by the seller in less than 24 hours at no cost to us. We actually miss our weekend outings with him. Not only did we find our dream home, but we also gained a friend in the process!"
- Michelle and Andres Roch"My husband and I just moved into our new home, thanks to Lisa!! Can't imagine how this would've been possible without her expertise and guidance. In addition to keeping us sane through this nail biting process with her kind and positive attitude, Lisa was always a true professional. She listens, follows through, is straightforward, and efficient. Not to mention, that she's been doing this for a long time, and really understands how to write a winning contract. She even impressed the seller's agent, who noted that it was a true pleasure to work with her. Words can't really express how appreciate we are of all her hard work!"
- Evelyn and Stephen"Ann is a professional that cares about her clients. She is hands-on throughout the process, and always keeps their best interest at heart. Whether helping families find the perfect house to make their next home, or maximizing her clients' interest while selling their home, she is there to protect them and be their greatest advocate. I enjoy working with Ann very much, and know she is helping dreams come true everyday."
- Mya Tran-Harter"My wife and I were very particular about our needs and future plans for a new house. After we communicated our research regarding school systems, Ann began working with us in earnest. She had a sense of urgency, and knew the market very well. Using her insight of the seller and market conditions, Ann drew up and submitted our offer, and we obtained the property within a couple hours of it going on the market. We found Ann to be trustworthy, and look forward to settling into the new neighborhood in the near future. We appreciated Ann's patience and focus throughout the process."
- Ted Kidane"We were extremely pleased working with Ann. She was helpful, informative and professional. We would highly recommend her to anyone!"
- Scott Haney and Kristen Vigeant"Ross had a deep and personal knowledge of the area where we were looking to purchase our new home. When we did find the perfect home, his expertise gave us the confidence to submit an offer that was a win for us and the sellers. Ross' responsiveness, flexibility, and relationships allowed for a smooth and quick closing. We appreciate Ross understanding our priorities and working through the transaction with our interests in mind."
- Kelsey and Drew S."As an out-of-state owner of a rental property which I decided to sell, I was referred to Ms. Cousens by another agent who had first-hand knowledge of her skills as a real estate agent. I found Ms. Cousens to be highly knowledgeable, and exceptionally responsive to me as an absentee seller. Her most important quality to me is her highly ethical standards. She always put my interests as a client first. She always acted in my best interest. I never felt pressured to make price or other changes simply to "get a sale." Regarding negotiation skills, Ms. Cousens actually negotiated a final price several thousand dollars above the listing price! I highly recommend Ms. Cousens."
- Lynn"Barbara provided exceptional service and real estate guidance in assisting me to purchase a home in Old Town Alexandria, VA. She analyzed 10 properties to compare as comparables to determine an appropriate offer for me to make. I have purchased and sold real estate as an investor for 35 years and I have never seen an agent go to this much work without being asked. Her work was exceptional and key to having my offer accepted. She has broad knowledge and understanding of the history of home sales and prices in Old Town Alexandria. She was able to provide a list of vendors (good skills; bargain prices) for a variety of repairs from electrical, kitchen appliances, handyman, architect, designer, and landscaper. Barbara was friendly, courteous, and punctual during all our engagements. I recommend her without reservation and would certainly engage her again."
- Mark"Barbara was the absolute best! I've purchased several other homes in different states. This was my first time purchasing in Virginia, so I was looking for an agent with local knowledge. Barbara asked the right questions to get to know my needs and style. She was always willing to show me different properties, and presented me with a variety of options. Once I was ready to make an offer, Barbara reviewed many comps to help me pinpoint the best price, and she provided expert guidance during the negotiation process. Barbara was with me at the property for all inspections, and she was there when I couldn't be onsite. I appreciated the deep experience and carful guidance that Barbara provided. She made me feel like her only client. I will absolutely call Barbara when I'm buying or selling again."
- Max"Barbara is a wonderful, experienced, knowledgeable, kind, and patient real estate PROFESSIONAL. She worked with me to buy my condominium and later to sell it, and she is a great buyer's and seller's agent. Selling is a much more involved process and Barbara was so good at walking me through the steps, advising me, and reassuring me when I made decisions. She backed everything up with thorough market research. I had moved away to Atlanta and rented out my condo for two years. When I decided to sell, Barbara supported me completely, from assisting my renters with the move out to letting in workers when I put in a new carpet, had the unit painted, and had various other workers in my unit. She handled it all and I wrote the checks. I can't tell you what a help that is for an out-of-state seller. Not to mention the level of trust I have/had in her to allow someone else to be my agent. I literally did not have to fly up there once. She even coordinated all the closing paperwork and I signed all my documents securely online. On a personal level, Barbara is a special person who is very adept at LISTENING to what you what and advising you in a respectful way when she might disagree. And I found that she was right every time. I can't say enough about Barbara, and if I didn't now live in Atlanta, I'd be using her again as I purchase my home here. You can't go wrong with Barbara. Oh! And she found me a buyer at my open house the FIRST weekend it was available because she is GREAT with marketing and encouraged me to price it right. And I think the fact that she baked her famous zucchini bread didn't hurt either. I closed in less than 30 days, partly because it was a cash offer, but mostly because of Barbara's great work ethic."
- Jacky"Bruce Fall provided us with professional service listing and selling our home. He is extremely organized and knowledgeable about the market and what is required to maximize your profits while minimizing your concerns. Bruce has a very thorough marketing plan that is designed to bring in a large number of qualified buyers. We were extremely pleased with the results from the open houses and had a full price offer within 30 days. Bruce recommended a few projects that resulted in nearly a 10% price increase from what we had hoped for and a reasonable return on the investment. I have recommended Bruce to our friends and family as a friendly, results oriented agent."
- Helene S."Martha is efficient, responsive, and knows her stuff! Our family has bought and sold quite a few houses with her and have recommended her to friends. Highly qualified!"
- Shannon Maguire"In February we decided we needed to sell our home in Old Town. Due to unexpected circumstances, we needed to move to a bigger house and did not know where to begin. We reached out to Wendy for advice and guidance, and she exceeded our expectations! While living in Old Town, we had seen many of Wendy's listings fly off the market, so we were hopeful but we knew our home had quirks. She counseled us through the process of preparing to sell our home. She walked us through the remodel of our kitchen and bathroom. She was always available to discuss design details: paint, hardware, grout and tile. No detail was insignificant. Every recommendation she made we implemented and loved! She was willing to roll-up her sleeves along with us. She spent an entire evening at our home staging each room. As a result, the photos looked fantastic and we had an offer before our open house. Once our contract was ratified, she guided us through every step from inspection to settlement. Wendy was just as valuable in helping us find our next home. We cast a wide net and she was incredibly knowledgeable about every area we were considering. We had many, many questions and she looked into all of them and was quick to thoroughly respond. When we were ready to submit an offer, she coached us through preparing a competitive offer - late nights, early mornings, she was available to get the job done. Wendy is a spectacular real estate agent! She does it all: salesperson, negotiator, stager, and marketer. We are so appreciative of her guidance and look forward to a continued relationship with her in the future."
- Heather and Chris L."5 stars across the board. It was important to take the time to interview and find the right agent for me. Susan was a tremendous choice and a complete asset to the pursuit. She worked collaboratively with me and customized the process to meet my needs. She was candid with suggestions and openly shared her insight about the area and market. Susan went beyond expectations on several occasions and was simply great company, professionally and personally, while conduction an on ground search. I am very happy with the outcome and will seek her out for any future pursuits."
"Wendy drove our home buying process from start to finish. As first home buyers, she guided us step by step and made sure we fully understood the process. What made us feel so at ease with Wendy was that she is both professional and personal. From helping us close on our home within 30 days to providing valuable decorating tips, we felt like we were working with someone who was not only our realtor but also our friend. Thus, you cannot ask for a better realtor. We would without a doubt recommend her to any friend or family looking for a home in the DC/Virginia area. Thank you Wendy for helping us find our first home!"
- Travis R. and Deblina B."Our family absolutely loved working with Wendy; she knew all the ins and outs of renting homes in such a competitive market and made our search seamless. Her knowledge, energy, attentiveness, and positive attitude made her so much fun to work with. We felt like we were in such great hands as we looked for a new home for our family. Wendy went the extra mile to help us get into the home we wanted and we couldn't be more thankful. She is wonderful!"
- Leigh Anne and Jordan S."Bob Johnson is the absolute best realtor in northern Virginia. We have used him as our realtor twice now and we remain completely satisfied with all aspects of our home buying experience. Having worked with numerous realtors all around the country, Bob stands head and shoulders above all of them. He took the time to fully understand our desires, needs, and limitations while searching for properties. He recently helped us discover our "forever home" in the right neighborhood, at the right price, and in very quick order. As new construction, Bob negotiated add-ons that completed the home and matched our dreams; something we just couldn't have done on our own. He also made sure we had top quality and timely home inspectors, including his own, very tough final walk-through inspection that caught several details for the builder to address. Always friendly and always available at a moments notice, Bob is expertly knowledgeable about home construction, the home buying process, and all the surrounding neighborhoods. We couldn't have been more satisfied with Bob and our experience."
- Jim and Leslie Saenz"Our home selling and buying experience with Jerry Thatcher was incredible. From the beginning, Jerry educated us on the whole process and reassured us all along the way about how all of the details would come together, and they did! She helped us understand everything we needed to do to prepare our home so that it would be the most attractive for sale and did not overlook the slightest detail to help us get things just right. She added so much value to the process by helping us stage the home with her keen eye for design. She helped us find the right time and price to sell so we could maximize our value and choose among many competitive offers. She stayed on top of every task and issue that came up and moved everything in the process efficiently to closing. And through her network of brilliant colleagues, we were able to receive timely insights on questions about financing and many other issues. Above all, Jerry is just a wonderful, positive, delightful person to work with. She cares about her clients personally and spares no effort to ensure that they can accomplish their goals and have the most successful experience with the sale and purchase of their homes. The depth of service she provides is tremendously valuable. You could not find a more professional, savvy, and personally committed realtor than Jerry."
- Mike and Laurie Snarr"As first-time home-buyers, my husband and I searched for months for our first home before friends recommended Kate as a realtor. Thank goodness they did! Kate was an incredibly responsive, forward-leaning, and informative realtor throughout our home-buying process which proved to be particularly important in the northern Virginia / Washington DC market. Kate was our go to person for understanding the details of the home-buying process, leveraging our options to get the best house for the best price, and ensuring everything went smoothly once our offer was made. Kate was always respectful of our limits, attentive to our wishes, and honest in her advice. We will definitely look to Kate in the future and recommend her to our friends and family. She gives you the edge you need in this tough and fast-moving market."
- Alexandra"We have bought and sold two other homes in other states so we are not new to the home buying process. With having Kim as our realtor, this was the best experience we have had. We looked at many houses in several different parts of Northern Virginia and she was always patient and kind with our indecision. We were working with a tight closing timeline and she was great about making sure that we closed on time. After she assisted us in submitting an offer, she made sure to follow up with us every step of the way. There were 5 offers on the home we chose and she helped us put together a winning offer. After our offer was accepted she was very accessible and willing to answer any questions. We just closed on the home and the experience could not have been better. She went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy and comfortable with our purchase. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy a home."
- Lindsey & Chris Moylan, Vienna"There are simply not enough words to convey how wonderful Bob is! We had to move from California to the D.C. area within a short amount of time for a military relocation. From the moment we first contacted Bob, we were incredibly impressed with his professionalism, resourcefulness, diligence, and commitment to helping us find a great home. Every step along the way, he helped to ensure that our house hunting and buying process was the least of our concerns during what was already going to be a stressful endeavor. He was very quickly able to identify our preferred house style and the part of town that would be most beneficial. When we could not be readily present for the home inspection, he was right there, giving us step-by-step updates regarding the inspector's findings. When it came time to find mortgage and settlement companies, he helped us shop around for some, both of which companies saved us money in the end. As if all of that wasn't enough, he even helped us find some furniture options when we mentioned that we would need more furniture to fill our new home. The man does not rest until he feels his clients are 110% satisfied. We will be using no other realtor for our housing needs from this point forward. He knows his business and is a tireless advocate for his clients. Selecting Bob as your realtor will be the best decision you will ever make."
- Emily Gann and Irena Farlik"On Jean's Level of Service: "Amazing! I would have been lost without her.""
- Jonathan P."if you want something done, have Jean Beatty do it!"
- Terrye C."Having worked with BJ nine years ago buying my home I knew what to expect when I called her to list it for sale, professionalism and dedication to getting my home sold in a short a time as possible while getting market price and terms. This she was able to accomplish while making the whole process seem enjoyable and not a burden. BJ knows the market she works in and the ends and outs of real estate. As an example, I had numerous friends and neighbors asked if my realtor had done this or that, had she checked into this, had she took into consideration that, My answer to them was, the reason I hired a professional was so I did not have to do all the leg work and I knew it was being done professionally. Does one take his car to the mechanic or go to a doctor and then proceed to question every move and continually check to see if the job is going as you think it should? No, I seek out the professional, confirm that they are qualified to do the job and then let them do their job. With BJ I have not chosen wrong and would recommend her services to others."
- William H. Payne"I can't say enough about what a positive, low-stress experience it was having Sabina as our realtor. She is prompt, candid, polished and knowledgeable. We felt very "taken care of" every step of the way, and every single recommendation she made was dead-on. We were first-time home buyers in an area unfamiliar to us so there was a lot of potential for stress and uncertainty, but she was able to thoroughly answer every question and concern we had at every stage in the process, and there was never any pressure to make an offer. Once we found The House, she was an expert negotiator. We still can't believe what an easy experience it was. We could not have asked for a better realtor, and we are SO happy with our first home."
- Kay Ciesla"Sabina was an excellent realtor for us as we navigated the purchase of our first home. She was great at handling our questions and creating a very low stress atmosphere. We were in a hurry as we had a baby on the way and Sabina was able to balance speed, our desires and needs, and thoroughness. We didn't feel rushed at all and she definitely was able to understand our style and focus in on relevant properties. In addition, she really takes care of first-time buyers in order to build long term relationships. And her recommendations for repair work have all been 5 star also. Would recommend to anyone needing a realtor."
- Jason Williams"I would recommend Kate to any of my friends or loved ones in a heartbeat! She originally worked with my family through my (now) sister-in-law as a first-time home buyer and her experience with Kate was so solid that my family has worked with Kate 3 times since, on both sides of the buying cycle! Kate worked with me as a first-time home buyer and was masterful in the process, consulting me to make my own life decisions but guiding the entire exchange to ensure we got the best deal possible. Since then, I have also referred her outside the family to a co-worker and friend, who could not have been happier with how Kate handled their first-time real estate purchase. They had a very competitive bid cycle, and despite not being the highest bidder, by the end, Kate's sound advice and competency when it came to competitive bidding enabled them to have their first offer accepted! We are all absolutely in love with our homes and are incredibly appreciative to Kate for all her hard work!"
- Abby"Lauren's level of service was excellent. As overseas buyers, she truly went above and beyond to help us find and buy our house. Lauren is a great representative. As first-time homebuyers, based overseas, the fact that we found a great home and the process went smoothly is notable in and of itself."
- M.N."Tammi Curran is a phenomenal real estate agent. I have recommended her to everyone I know who is looking to purchase a home. I am a first time homeowner/purchaser, so Tammi made time to explain the process to me and answer my million questions at any time of the day. She made certain that the areas and communities I was considering were safe and met my criteria (dog friendly, commuter friendly, car free lifestyle friendly). She is simply THE BEST!"
- Seeta Rebbapragada"Bob was our landlord and we'd heard good things about him as a realtor, so we trusted him to help find our single family home. We couldn't be more pleased with his dedication, ethics, and thoroughness through every phase of the process. He repeatedly demonstrated he had our best interests at heart, saving us time and money."
- Janice Yun and Eric Blomstedt"Top notch! She was available, energetic and conscientious. We were on a short timeline and budget. Most notably, Madeline spotted a big issue with one property — no permits. We were able to avoid this potentially expensive pitfall thanks to her advice."
- Steve and Wendy R."Working with Santiago was a pleasure. His knowledge of the market combined with his professional expertise regarding the process gave me great a comfort and confidence."
- Mike (Source)"Due to an issue related to inspections, this house purchase was difficult. Jean hung in and assisted me throughout the process."
- Tom H."I would highly recommend Mark Hudson as a real estate agent to contact for any individual or family looking to sell their home. From the beginning, Mark took the stress and guesswork out of the selling process. He explained his role as my agent and was able to guide me step-by-step through the process. Mark's accessibility and professionalism never wavered. I always felt that he had my best interest at heart, especially during tough contract negotiations. He gave me his honest feedback and I was then able to make an informed, confident decision. In turn, Mark utilized social media and relevant real estate databases to quickly get my home out to prospective buyers. I could not have made it through without him! It is in closing that I highly recommend Mark Hudson to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. He is one of the best in the business and would be my first choice for real estate agents in DC, Maryland and Virginia."
- Rachel Kunz"Please accept my long overdue thanks in selling my house in Kensington last year. It is no exaggeration to say, I couldn't have done it without you. You went way beyond what I would expect of a real estate agent - from calmly and professionally dealing with the renters who were in my house to preparing my property to go on the market and offering sage advice through the final sale and closing. At every step of the process, I felt you were looking out for my best interests. One example that stands out is when you contacted a professional window washer to clean my windows, you felt the quoted cost was too high. You talked your children into washing the windows for a much lower rate - and they did a great job! You made sure repairmen did their work properly, and you even staged my house when you felt it would help to sell it quicker. My house went on the market on a Friday afternoon and I had an offer the next day! Thank you again, Mark, for your exceptional work, keen attention and good humor. I appreciate your efforts and I highly recommend you."
- Nancy Eickel"We interviewed four real estate agents about listing our home. When we met with Mark Hudson, we immediately felt comfortable and were impressed with his knowledge of the market in the DC area and Kensington specifically. From the beginning, Mark was very responsive to any questions we had and was a pleasure to work with. He made suggestions about presenting our home and made sure that we were kept informed throughout the entire process. Our family has moved to numerous states over the years, and this by far was the most seamless and stress-free home sale we have ever had. Mark's professionalism and pleasant demeanor were largely responsible. We would, without hesitation, recommend Mark for anyone searching for a real estate agent in the DC area."
- Bill & Lisa King"Mike and I are very grateful for your help in selling our townhouse in Kensington. Having you as our agent clearly meant we had reliable and sound advise, plus we greatly benefitted from your wealth of experience and comprehensive knowledge of the real estate market in Kensington and elsewhere. When it comes to complicated and challenging tasks in life like selling a house, having "wise council" is the absolutely best thing...and you were definitely wise counsel. We are especially appreciative of your thoughtful input on staging the house, even to the point of lending your son to help move some furniture. We are still amazed at how beautifully the photographs were made as well as the attractiveness of both the printed brochure and the on-line presentation. Your advice on pricing was spot-on. And just as importantly when it came time to deal with the potential buyers (yes, plural), you knew just how to manage the situation and when to draw the line. We were in very good hands, indeed, and never at any moment felt we had been left hanging or ignored. You were with us all the way. And finally, we cannot help but say we loved that you care about and appreciate Kensington, and that you see value in promoting it as a place to live. As you know, we have continued living in Kensington and agree 100% that our little village is a treasure."
- Christine Taylor"We wanted to thank you for all your help finding us our first home. This really is a dream come true for us and your guidance was just what we needed. We appreciate the job you did so very much. We'll be all settled in when the baby arrives at the end of October!"
- The Hendricksons"JaneEllen's level of service was fabulous! She capably assessed my needs and tailored her approach accordingly."
- Sarah Richards"Excellent service. JaneEllen answered all of my questions, was positive, and very helpful!"
- Tammy Riggins"Jean was just wonderful. She knew what a sad time it was for Eileen and me, but whenever there was a problem, she was always there with a solution."
- Mary H."We recently left our home of nearly 7 years in Silver Spring, MD and Ann made selling our house an absolute breeze! Her marketing was incredible!! I still can't believe we had a contract after only a few days. Ann is extremely personable, very knowledgeable and a total straight shooter; her attentiveness, especially to first time home sellers (like ourselves), and her ability to keep us calm and focused whenever we felt unsure never ceased to impress me. Perhaps the best thing for me, as a mom of 2 young children who operates a small business from home, was that she made the staging process incredibly easy and smooth, despite the rather large amount of "stuff" we'd inevitably accumulated over the years. In fact, she made terrific use of what we had, which saved us a ton of money and our home looked absolutely outstanding for the open house and listing photographs (and, not to mention, with minimal disruption to our day-to-day routine, which was a lifesaver for our family). Ann also knows the area incredibly well and was able to highlight all of the wonderful attributes of our house, townhome community and the surrounding neighborhood. Our house sold insanely fast and at a fantastic price - we really couldn't be happier - what else can you ask for? Simply put, she's amazing not only is she a great realtor, but she's a genuine, trustworthy person who really has your best interest at heart. We are so grateful to have had her through this whole process and recommend her highly to any potential clients!"
- April Crowley (Sellers - MD)"We worked with Ann for several months to purchase our home and she is the rare professional who not only goes the extra mile, but does so with a smile. Ann's home-buying expertise was always on display from crunching numbers to recommending mortgage and inspection professionals. Ann also has an incredible eye for spaces, decorating and the potential for changes in a home you are looking at; she dreams along with you while providing stellar advice based on her real-world knowledge and experience. In addition, Ann knows home structures and is able to point out both quality work and items which are not up to par. She's a real pro and made what is always a complex process as simple and enjoyable as it could be."
- Andrew Schwab (Buyer - MD)"We decided to sell our home in Fairfax and purchase a brand new home in Ashburn, Virginia. We are both Deaf and pondered whether to select a realtor who knows the American Sign Language (ASL) or a realtor who could communicate with us using paper/pencil or the iPhone/iPad using speech to text. After interviewing four different realtors, we almost gave up hope but decided to try once more after reading the wealth reviews about Mary Roberge on her website as well as on Zillow. We sent an email informing her we are Deaf and would like to interview her to determine whether she could represent us well in both the sellers and buyers market. On the day of the interview, she brought with her a sign language interpreter. From the get-go, we never regretted our decision. Mary knows the market backward and forwards and is familiar with every nook and cranny of the neighborhoods. Working with Mary Roberge exceeded any of our expectations. Right away she was incredibly friendly and took time to sit down with us. She was very helpful in explaining the entire process and really relieved our stress level even though we were on a very tight timeframe. When it was time to sell our home, she gave us recommendations for a lender, painter, kitchen and master bath renovators all of whom were way better than the people we found on our own. She monitored all of the work process making sure our home was ready for the market. When it was time to put our home on the market, we had many interested buyers. We sold our home and were happy that it was so fast. She is all about integrity and excellence. Extremely detailed and patient and on top of all this, she is such a kind soul. We believe this is a great attribute and shows she is not just interested in a quick sale. She took great care of us as we bought a new home, through all the thick and thin of it, she tirelessly walked us thru the process, helping us to navigate thru tricky negotiations and a down-to-the-wire closing. We are very fortunate to have found her and truly believe her expertise helped tremendously in both selling and buying our new home. The main reason we give Mary a 5 star, is that she treats you like her one and only client. Your concerns are her concerns, and she works incredibly hard and has a lot of experience to make things go smoothly and the way that you want. Emails and texts calls are answered very quickly and thoroughly - you will never be left wondering what is happening. In short, if you are buying your first home or a 2nd or 3rd home, you can't go wrong with Mary. She was so helpful with providing help in every way, and she exceeded all of our expectations. If we get the chance again in the near future to put our home on the market, we will go with Mary Roberge. Thank you, Mary!"
- The Mangrubangs"Thank you once again for such a good experience in selling our third home. Your knowledge of properties and sales methods are unmatched! You staged our property beautifully, secured a contract within days, and brought us top dollar. You hit every mark! We have worked with other realtors in the past but none have worked as hard for clients as you. It has been a genuine pleasure to do business with you and we look forward to working with you again in the future. Best of luck to you and thanks again for all."
- Keith & Patty Rogers"Catherine was a complete professional while maintaining a warm, kind and thoughtful manner. She took the time to educate me, assuring I understood each step in the real estate process and inspiring a remarkable trust. A great experience from start to finish."
- Ms. Spalding"Catherine stood by me every step of the way in a long and complicated transaction which involved working with tenants who occupied the residence. She remained supportive, loyal, dependable and trustworthy throughout, going above and beyond the call of duty while maintaining my back the entire time."
- Ms. Brock"Extremely professional, knowledgeable, personable and compassionate is Catherine who went above and beyond in supporting me throughout the entire process of selling my home at a difficult time. She made sure the process was a smooth one and that I was assisted with great care."
- Ms. Johnson"As a first-time home-buyer, it was important for us to have a 'low-stress' experience. Catherine remained professional and always ready to answer our questions with a knowledgeable response. She made us feel the purchase of our first home was her top priority. We cannot recommend her more highly."
- Mr. & Mrs. Minemura"Kristy is extremely professional, helpful and genuine. She went above and beyond to help me find an apartment in Virginia without me even being present. She was very knowledgeable about the apartments and areas that we explored. I would recommend Kristy and if I ever need a realtor again she will be my first phone call."
- Aimee L."We were being relocated by my employer, and as such were provided services by a relocation company contracted by my employer. I had no intention of using the realtors required to conduct a market analysis for the relocation company. I had a realtor I had used previously, and had done a great job, so my plan was to list our condo with this individual. After getting in touch with that realtor, their outlook regarding price on our condo was not what I had expected. I realize people often think they're house was worth more than it really was, but in this case I thought the number was off and underselling the price the condo could bring on the market. I knew Alyssa was the first realtor assigned by the relocation company to provide a market analysis of our property. I decided to do some basic research on the internet to gather information about Alyssa's real estate experience, and my interest was piqued by the fact she had an advanced real estate degree and her reviews were very positive, but more importantly, very detailed. I gathered that her aim was not to sell as many houses as possible every year, but rather to put sincere effort into selling a smaller number of houses each year, while providing great customer service to her clients.I also liked the fact she was a resident of Arlington, and therefore understood the nuances of our particular market. Then came the real deciding factor. When Alyssa came over to our condo to conduct the market analysis for the relocation company, our cat seemed to genuinely like her! Our cat did not like anyone outside of our family, and most of the time barely tolerated us! Animals are a great judge of people, so when they decide to tell you something, I feel you should listen. We chose to list the house with Alyssa. She was very diligent in doing her homework to help us price the condo appropriately, and most importantly was open to our input on price, as opposed to trying to talk us into going with a price we felt was actually a bit too high. She took the time to gain insight into our past real estate experiences, and therefore understood our expectations as it pertained to this particular transaction. Through her efforts, we were able to sell the condo for a price that was approximately $11,000 more than the top dollar our previous realtor thought would be the final sales price. Alyssa was very detail-oriented, compassionate, and diligent and as such provided an excellent sales experience. We whole-heartedly recommend Alyssa to anyone in the Northern Virginia real estate market, looking to sell or purchase a home!"
- Erin B."Alyssa was the most helpful and professional agent I have ever worked with in my 14 years of military moves. My wife, 2 year old, and I had a very limited window to look at homes across the Northern Virginia area and Alyssa made it happen. We ended up spending over 10 hours searching on a Saturday with some follow-ups on Sunday and found a great 5 bedroom home in a quiet neighborhood where our kids can walk to school. She worked diligently in the search process to find us a home that would fit us, our four kids, two dogs, and two cats in our price range. After finding the home we wanted to make an offer on Alyssa worked to ensure all the inspections needed to be done and contractors could access the home for a planned renovation. She really impressed me in her dealings with both the listing agent and the mortgage company helping us close in just 30 days. We definitely felt that she went to bat for us to ensure the maintenance issues of the house were taken care of including having a general contractor come in and estimate costs to help us get the best price possible. I would recommend Alyssa to family, friends, and any military moving into the area looking for someone to work with that understands the stresses of an out of area move to DC. I know she focuses in the Arlington area, but her knowledge of the area really makes her an expert all around."
- C. Wolff"Alyssa was fantastic! She set up alerts for us for several months so that we could monitor what was coming on the market in terms of price and quality. When we were finally ready to look, she was easy to work with on scheduling and never tried to up-sell us. I appreciated her insight and attention to detail during walk-throughs, especially since we are first time home buyers. My husband and I are both super type "A" and have stressful jobs and Alyssa made the process easy and was very responsive. Her laid back and not pushy style was perfect for us, and much appreciated during an already stressful process. I would (and already have) recommended her to friends!"
- K. Merrell"Alyssa is a pleasure to work with. She was very understanding of my needs as a seller, and very knowledgeable about the listing, contract and settlement process. She provided straightforward, helpful advice which really helped in making important decisions. Alyssa possesses a unique combination of intelligence, kindness, and confidence that enable her to successfully work with all parties to complete a sale and resolve concerns in a highly professional and mutually satisfactory manner. I recommend Alyssa without hesitation, and would certainly work with her again if we ever decide to move."
- A. Kinney"Alyssa Cannon is an outstanding and tireless agent! She recently helped me purchase a fantastic townhouse in Reston. It was my first purchase since 2005 and I was wary of buying a new home after being stung after the correction of 2008-2009. So Alyssa had to work with a hesitant client who had a true "buyer's remorse" based on a past experience. But I really wanted to improve my position and find a place for my true satisfaction and happiness. Alyssa saw this in our conversations and she was the perfect person to guide me towards finding a very fantastic purchase! She was a very good listener during this entire process and was interested in all the wants and desires I was considering. Along with her empathy and patience, Alyssa was particularly keen on providing me with all available options and decision points. I liked the fact that she did not push me to a decision based on her benefit; she gave me all the criteria I needed to make the choice on my set of conditions. Alyssa also impressed me with her meticulous attention to detail. She led the way in setting up the usual aspects of the finance, negotiation, sale and closing. But she was also there to anticipate and head off "bumps in the road" that occurred during this process. I am happy to say that her efforts enabled a successful negotiation well under the original listing. This entire process from start to closing took less than two months and it was done to my complete satisfaction! And I am happy to report that she is still helping me with the adjustment to my new property and all post-sale activities. I totally endorse Alyssa for anyone out there who wants a real estate agent who actually listens to her clients, solves problems and provides concierge service. She is an expert on the DMV market and is just simply great at what she does. I know I will hire her again the next time I either buy or sell. She really is the one to count on if you want to find that exceptional home!"
- Thomas A."My husband and I have worked with Alyssa for a few years off an on searching for the perfect first home in Arlington VA. Alyssa was not pushy or overwhelming. She was patient in helping us find exactly what we were looking for. We would recommend her for anyone in the market to purchase a home."
- Lisa C."Ann did a terrific job selling our big house and assisting us in buying our new waterfront home. We especially enjoyed and appreciated Ann's extensive experience and good advice."
- Andy & Anna E."Ann was exceptional in our search for an apartment in DC & VA when we had a short time frame in which to work. She was very productive and helpful throughout the entire process, creating a smooth transaction. She has recently helped me lease the apartment and purchase a great DC townhouse.-- hooray. "
- Robert K."Great working with Ann! She made the process smooth and, even fun, totally focused on my needs and provided great service."
- Jesus R."I recently worked with Robin to sell my townhome. In a few words, Robin was all over it! Her market knowledge, marketing materials, staging, and suggestions for getting my home ready for to sell were spot on. During contract negotiations, the various inspections and the closing process, she was right there helping me work through it all, made things quite easy for me. Robin obviously has great knowledge and understanding of the market and processes to get things done! I will use Robin again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great agent!"
- Frank A."Robin did a great job selling my two river lots quickly and for a good price. I will recommend her to all my friends."
- Gretchen L."We definitely would recommend Robin Short to family and friends who may be interested in purchasing a home."
- Jim and Helen D."Robin was the most persistent realtor. Our Short Sale took a long time, and we finally sold in a terrible market. She is an asset as a Realtor, and as a friend. Thank you so much!"
- Jim H."Robin has been a great friend, and we will continue to keep her in mind whenever we think about buying and selling. She went above and beyond what we expected."
- Greg and Kristine B."Robin was there thru many months of searching and helped us when we needed an expert. Her level of expertise impressed us. We will use her again."
- Leah and Robert G."Robin was very courteous. I would recommend her to my friends."
- Bonnie H."She is an excellent agent. She is knowledgeable and is current on laws governing sales. I put all my faith in her and she delivered."
- Stan F."I was in a hurry. Robin was spot-on. I do think we could have gotten more for the property, but Robin did well knowing my situation. BRAVO!"
- Sherry O."We had no idea when we thought about selling, that it could be this smooth. Robin took care of all the details, and we moved without incident. We would recommend her to anyone who needs an experienced Realtor."
- David and Tracy L."On a scale of 1 to 5 she gets all 5's! The best experience I've had with a Realtor. Robin went above and beyond what I expected, and things went very smoothly."
- Kenneth U."Robin did an exceptional job of showing and selling our home."
- Edward E."We have worked with Robin for years, on many purchases, and we will continue to use her. No one else comes close to the level of expertise she maintains. In all areas of real estate, she has helped us avoid making a wrong move. We will continue to keep Robin as our agent of choice."
- Cindy C."Thank you for being a good agent! I could not ask for better."
- Jerry S."We worked with Wendy at the end of this summer to sell our condo in Arlington. She helped us buy our home in Old Town and it was such a great experience, so it was a no-brainer to work with her again to sell our condo. She had great recommendations for paint colors and staging and our unit sold very quickly. Her marketing materials and promotion of our condo were amazing. The photography was also top-notch, making it a very appealing listing on the various online home sites. We couldn't have been happier working with Wendy for a second time and our condo unit was under contract within a week of hitting the market. Thank you, Wendy!"
- Lauren and Stu S."We wholeheartedly recommend Kristy Crombie of McEnearney Associates as your realtor! Kristy was very easy to work with, offered sound advice, listened to us, and really understood what we were looking for in a home. She also was able to reach back to her colleagues at McEnearney to get a diversity of opinions on things like home value and condo issues. This paid dividends for us. When we finally purchased our condo, it was appraised for more than we paid, giving us a little more equity in our home right from the start! She was there for us every step of the way. She guided us through all the necessary paperwork of making an offer and establishing a purchase contract, and supported us all the way through closing. Even though we're now happy homeowners, she still keeps herself available for any questions we might have, and helped put us in touch with a reliable handyman to make a few updates to our new home. She made what can be a very overwhelming process easy to understand. Thanks to her, we never had a second thought about whether we were doing the right thing by buying a home."
- Andrea W."We were lucky enough to be put in touch with Steven Berson for our apartment search in DC. As out-of-towners, we were unable to see any units in person. Steven took it upon himself to visit all the units of interest to us, taking pictures of the apartments and neighborhoods to ensure we found exactly what we wanted. He made us feel confident with our decision to rent our current unit, site unseen, allowing us to act quickly and secure the unit. Further, Steven has been a welcoming neighbor, checking in regularly over dinner or drinks and always reminding us that he is happy to help if we need anything at all."
- Dan & Elizabeth"Lauren Tawil is a mission driven realtor with the best interest of her clients at the forefront of her work. Lauren has a broad tenured insight to market trends and access to various resources to address all planning and moving needs. She has an incredible knack of balancing the many pressures and needs of her clients down to the tedious and very personal needs of preparing a home for the market. She explored and met the needs of all the members of our family down to our pets. The pre-sale prep, staging and final sale of our home was a seamless-smooth process because of Lauren's drive to please us as clients and get the job done. Lauren's vast experience gave us confidence and her personality made us feel valued as customers and well taken care of in this major transition of moving. I look forward to working with Lauren for future needs and I always appreciate her neighborly check-ins from time to time to keep us posted on the market and share community updates."
- Mary Smith"I had the good fortune to work with Wendy Santantonio on the renovation and sale of my house in Fairfax. It needed a lot of work, and Wendy managed that process from start to finish. She made suggestions as to what I needed to do to the house, but made it clear that it was up to me to make the decisions, and was really helpful when I needed to prioritize to stay within budget. Her organizational skills are outstanding; she identified contractors, arranged and reviewed bids, scheduled the many moving parts of the renovation process, and oversaw the whole complex operation. She was also an invaluable source of moral support and troubleshooting ideas when the inevitable glitches arose; her calmness, cheerfulness, and practical approach stood between me and hysteria more than once! The renovations turned a house with a very lived-in look into a showpiece, thanks to Wendy's exceptional taste and eye for design. Once the renovations were complete, she developed a step-by-step marketing plan and produced stunning marketing materials. The house was on the market for five days, I received five offers, and the house sold for $25,000 over asking price. She then managed the closing process, providing me with a schedule of every step and my responsibilities along the way. That process went off without a hitch, thanks to Wendy's superior professionalism and expertise. When I'm ready to take on home ownership again, I will not even think of working with anyone except Wendy."
- Lisa N."Patty stuck with us through 3 years of hunting for the "perfect" house, diligently showing us options, and never pressuring us to make a move on something that didn't quite fit. When we eventually found the right home, Patty expertly guided us through the purchase process and also counseled us on the sale of our existing home. Our prior house was on the market for less than a week, yielded four offers, and sold for more than our asking price. We were thrilled with her representation and recommend her services without hesitation."
- Jeanette & Gil"Kim was an invaluable resource as we looked for our new home this past Summer. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the Northern Virginia (NoVa) market and helped us navigate the different aspects of home buying seamlessly. She tolerated my numerous questions and my need to see some houses more than once! After buying the new house came the moving! Kim again helped us navigate that seamlessly! She provided recommendations for different services that made the process that much smoother! While we were settling into our new home, it was now time to put our old house up for rent. Kim to the rescue!!! It is incredible how little I knew about what goes into renting a house! I will be forever grateful to Kim for guiding me through that process and sharing vital information that I will definitely tap into in the future! Kim exceeded my expectations by a mile! I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to either buy or rent their home in the NoVa area! She is a true gem!!!"
- Rachel Maloney"I had the pleasure of working with Lauren Tawil twice. When I first moved to DC, she found me a perfect rental after I had looked and not been successful. And I asked for a lot: natural light, hardwood floors, space for a home office, allows pets, in my price range. And yet, she found me a spacious, beautiful place with all of that in a vibrant, walkable neighborhood with excellent transportation to boot! I was unsure how much an agent would add to the pool of rentals I could find; working with Lauren, it was obvious how much value she added. A few years later, I wanted to purchase a condo - so I called Lauren again, of course! She found a number of places that met all my specifications. Once I decided what I wanted, she patiently walked me through the complex process of buying it. Lauren was always upbeat and patient, no matter how dumb my questions were. She made terrific recommendations and I was delighted with her service. In addition to being a star agent, Lauren is a lovely, charming, fun person. If you're going to slog through a pile of viewings, you want to do it with her! Lauren knows the market inside and out and will help you find what you are looking for!"
- Catherine McClellan"Melissa is a terrific partner who spent quality time to understand our priorities and mediate differences where necessary. Her diplomacy and navigation through the whole process were terrific. After growing up in a real estate family, I can't imagine a more positive experience. I have been recommending her since the day we closed."
- Patrick Wilson"Melissa was very helpful from start to finish during our successful search for a house. She adjusted as our budget and preferred location changed multiple times. She gave great advice concerning when and how to counter and took care of all the hard work as we put multiple offers down through the course of our time working together. I would recommend Melissa for sure."
- Jason Geske"Melissa worked tirelessly to help us sell our home. We had trouble selling it a few years ago. Melissa asked strategic questions and did her due diligence in order to understand what could have caused our home not to sell. She researched current market trends and comparable homes to make certain we were within the right range in terms of pricing. Also, she was hands-on in getting the house ready. She is a good communicator and is flexible with her schedule making sure she was available when needed. We would definitely recommend Melissa Shelby."
- Jo Hyman"Melissa is amazing at her job and is a subject matter expert in her Industry. She is very responsive and provides honest and constructive feedback. She is also a strong negotiator and helped us sell our condo in record time. We can't thank her enough for her efforts! We highly recommend her to anyone!"
- Christopher Murphy"Melissa is the best! We used her to list our former home and help us purchase a new home. We had a home sale contingency so once we found our dream home, we had to quickly get our former house ready to list. She truly went above and beyond to get our house in tip-top shape! She spent all weekend at our house doing everything from gardening to painting to decorating our place and when she was finished, it looked better than it ever had! She did a great job of marketing our place prior to putting it on the market so by the time it did hit the market, people were eagerly waiting to see it. Not only did we receive multiple offers within the first 24 hours of our home being on the market, we ended up selling our house for way more than we could have ever imagined! We certainly couldn't have done it without her! She was also great in helping us buy our new home. She ensured that we get everything we asked for at a fair price. We would 100% recommend Melissa to anyone looking to buy or sell their home."
- Shannon Vazifdar"Working with Melissa to sell a condo was a great experience. She is knowledgeable, helpful, and has great contacts to make the sales process go more smoothly. Melissa's contacts enabled us to quickly and affordably make the updates/repairs that were needed, and once the property was listed, she worked diligently to promote it. Melissa also worked to make sure that the closing process went as smoothly as possible. We would gladly work with Melissa again."
- Meredith Purser"I've bought and sold a few homes in my 40 plus years. Never, NEVER, have I ever received the type of focused determination and commitment that I received from Melissa. After moving some items out of the house to a new house that we bought, she brought her own furniture in to help stage our house. When the sunroom floors didn't sparkle enough, she scrubbed them herself. In fact, even after a team of professionals cleaned the house, it wasn't "Melissa clean" so she was there with cleansers, mops and magic erasers in hand to make everything perfect. And when we had deliveries or workers there to fix things, she was there to let them in and direct traffic. She's embodies everything you could want in an agent. She's a true partner in the process and is committed to helping you through one of the biggest decisions of your life. Highly recommend!"
- Scott Keller"I worked with Melissa in my search for a home in Alexandria. Melissa was great -- very responsive, driven, and willing to go the extra mile to help me find my future home. I highly recommend Melissa to others!"
- Jim Gehrke"When my wife and I began searching for a home in the Alexandria area we contacted more than half a dozen local agents, and Ms. Shelby was by far the most helpful. She cheerfully took the time to follow up when the listing that we initially inquired about went under contract, calling at our convenience to discuss exactly what sort of property we were interested in and could afford given our budget. Her advice was candid and extremely helpful and she routinely followed up with us to provide updated compilations of online listings for us to review. Although we ended up signing a contract for a home inside the District that we had previously made an offer for with the assistance of another agent, I would enthusiastically recommend enlisting her services for home purchases in the Alexandria area... and have already done so for friends who were considering home ownership south of the Potomac! This and other 5 star reviews are well earned I can honestly say that I would not hesitate to contact Ms. Shelby for such inquiries in the future."
- Adam Ruch"Melissa was a total joy to work with and a complete professional - in addition to being extremely knowledgeable and savvy about the area and the market, she really listened and quickly understood what I was looking for, picking up on my personal needs, tastes, likes/dislikes and preferences, which made the process so much more efficient. She was extremely flexible with my schedule, always making herself available and responding to phone calls, texts or emails in an extremely timely manner - and she was ready to look at homes whenever we were, even sometimes meeting me under very short notice. On top of that, she is friendly, kind, thoughtful and just tons of fun to be around. And most importantly, she operates her business with a refreshing level of oppenness and integrity. As her client, I felt like she always kept my needs first and advised me as she would herself or her own family, going above and beyond, offering very candid opinions about the condition or potential of each property we considered. I would recommend Melissa to anyone and will absolutely use her again in the future."
- Katie Beck"She is the best!! Very friendly, very knowledgeable and she was able to work with my schedule. Got me through the whole process really quickly!! Helped be there for inspections when I couldn't and was a great help for scheduling the few repairs needed!!"
- Kim Molnar"Kim was the absolute best!!!!! We had already picked out the house we wanted and Kim made everything move quickly! She was super helpful in explaining everything and was good at explaining things in a way that I could understand. We wanted to do a kitchen renovation and Kim went out of her way to meet us at the house every time we needed to go in! This was a HUGE HELP!!!!!!! I would 10000000000% recommend Kim Fazio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
- Kim Moffatt & Jon Taimanglo"Personable. Communicative. Knowledgeable. I could go on and on, but these would be my top three adjectives to describe Wendy. Wendy helped my husband, two-and-a-half year old son, and newborn daughter find our perfect home in under two weeks, and the process went flawlessly. Personable. Wendy came recommended to my husband and I for our house-hunting needs via a coworker who has worked with Wendy on many separate occasions. The instant we connected on the phone, I knew she was going to be great to work with. She's the type of person you feel like you've known your entire life the minute you strike up a conversation. Communicative. Throughout the entire house-hunting and purchasing process, Wendy stayed in constant communication with us either via email, text, or phone. We never had to guess about the state of where we were in the process or if we'd be able to get a hold of Wendy. She always had us looped in so we were in the know. Knowledgeable. Wendy helped us navigate purchasing a house in a neighborhood we were unfamiliar with in and also in a state we had never done real estate business in before. Based on what she knew of us, she was able to vector in on where we should be looking. And once the actual purchase started to take place, Wendy made it very easy for us to know where we were in the process. Always. #realtoroftheyear"
- Katie & Ralph P."Alex Hamilton is pleasant and easy to work with as a realtor. Our home was clean and well cared for, but Alex knew what to do to make it more desirable. He knew just what to improve to enhance it even more. He had the improvements made quickly and efficiently at the price agreed upon. After the house went on the market, the first buyer who saw it gave us a very generous offer. So we sold the house quickly. It was a clean and fast sale for which we were very well compensated. We were very pleased with the whole procedure and with Alex's fine guidance. We would highly recommend Alex to any others searching for a realtor. He is honest and efficient and easy to deal with."
- Carolyn and Stephen J. Gawarecki"Knowing we would soon be moving to Alexandria, VA, my husband and I stopped by the first open house we saw on our first drive through Beverly Hills. We were literally 'just looking' -- for an initial impression of the neighborhood and local housing market mostly -- but there we met Laurel Conger. We were so impressed with Laurel's professionalism, her knowledge of the area -- from neighborhood vibes to big picture economic factors -- plus her keen understanding of what we were looking for, that we decided to give her a try. As Laurel worked with us over the next few months (much of it long distance), she was responsive, focused, and enthusiastic, yet we did not feel pressured. And I cannot underestimate this: she is easy to be with for long hours doing what can be a stressful task. Laurel worked hard to find a house that met our (many) requirements, and when she did, she negotiated wisely and firmly on our behalf. Then she helped us with hiring for repairs and upgrades from her long -- yet curated -- list of providers. My husband and I move frequently and have never before engaged an agent we met on a random stop, but our instincts proved correct. We will list our house with Laurel when we are ready to sell, and we recommend her highly and without hesitation to anyone buying or selling real estate in Alexandria."
- Jan and Mark, Buyers"Laurel was outstanding and there for us every step of the way. We are grateful to Laurel for her efforts that went above and beyond our expectations. She provided sound advice and advocated for us from start to finish. A true professional and exceptional person. Again, our experience was second to none with Laurel. (Particularly coming from someone with high expectations and who asks A LOT of questions. Laurel was amazing and will no doubt be referred to anyone I know looking for a Realtor!"
- Matt and Dawn M, Buyers"Laurel was invaluable during this past year. She assisted me through two major transitions. Most recently balancing the sale and purchase of homes simultaneously!"
- Mary N, Buyer and Seller"Working with Laurel eases the stress of buying and selling a home. She is professional, always accessible and extremely flexible. She is passionate and has great knowledge about Alexandria's many neighborhoods. I highly recommend her."
- Jessica H, Buyer and Seller"Not only was Laurel amazing in getting our house sold very quickly, but she was instrumental in the pre-sale of our house. She has great organizational skills and recommended wonderful people to help prep our house before we put it on the market. Her being tech-savvy and having all the documentation streamlined was critical in getting everything completed efficiently. Laurel truly eased the burden of an intense situation."
- Judi W, Seller"Lauren was excellent! She went above and beyond for us. We appreciate her so much!"
- S.S."My wife and I were looking to purchase our first home. We had talked with different realtors from larger companies and really weren't getting anywhere! I had reached out to a customer at my job thats in the real estate business Mr Alex Hamilton. Upon the first call speaking with Mr Hamilton i knew right away he cared and was eager to put us in our first home w/our 3 children. Alex is very knowledgeable in the home buying process answering every question very thouroughly and gets back to you promptly. What stood out the most was his hands on in showing you every detail about the house during our walkthrough. Explaining things a new home owner may not know. He even went as far as telling us different improvements that we could make to the home. His knowledge of homes is outstanding and his appreciation of remodeling homes and to explain those items to us meant a great deal to my wife and I. I would recommend Alex to anyone looking for a new home whether it be your first or 100th home purchase!"
- Steve & Estee Burgess"We met Wendy Santantonio at an open house shortly after moving to Old Town Alexandria. It turned out to be our lucky day! Despite being committed to a rental lease for the next several months, Wendy reached out to us and continued to keep in touch with us until we decided to begin to look for a property to purchase. By this time Wendy was familiar with our wants, needs, and budget. Keeping these things in mind she was able to find us the ideal property within 2 weeks of starting our search. She then seamlessly guided us through the closing process. It would be an understatement to say she exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Wendy!"
- John and Kathy F."Jean served us as if we were her only clients. She always went above and beyond in finding something to rent that was the perfect fit for us. We were very happy and grateful to have found such a personal company. Will definitely be using Jean again when it comes time to buy."
- Bill H."Thank you for making our 1st home-buying experience amazing! We loved working with you because of your helpful and spunky personality. You are extremely knowledgeable and we appreciated your great advice throughout this process. We are so excited to start this new chapter in our lives. We are homeowners! Yah!! Please continue to keep in touch and come over for a visit after we are settled in. Thank you. Thank you. =)"
- E&B"I would like to extend my most humble and gracious 'Thank You!'. I could not have found a better realtor at all. I'm convinced of this! Fixing my fence and taking care of the power washing was above and beyond what I ever would have expected from you. In fact, throughout the entire home-buying process you never ceased to amaze me. I thank you so much for all that you've done. Your professionalism and commitment is exemplary and of a caliber, I can only hope to meet in my own career. I'm so glad to have met you, and more so to call you a friend. Thank you!"
- Drew"What a whirlwind! We cannot thank you enough for being patient and guiding us through the buying process. We found the home of our dreams where we can raise our children and make new memories. We couldn't have been able to get through this as quickly and smoothly without you and will definitely refer you. Thank you!!"
- PV&I"As we remember our time together, your fun-loving personality and professionalism begs for us to write and share some thoughts of gratitude. Mark and I will never be able to adequately thank you for all of your time and helpfulness during Matt and Lindsay's apartment search. We know it's part of your job and yet, your presence with us, and your attentiveness towards them felt more like a blessing from above Thank you for caring about the small moves in our lives as much as the large ones. May the kindness you show towards others find it's way back to you and your family. Please accept this small token of our appreciation to say thank you for making this experience so delightful."
- Mr. & Mrs. G"Excellent agent. One of the few agents who knows what a load bearing wall means, knob and tube ceiling, and who doesn't push to upsell. She is fantastic. Very knowledgeable."
- J&DG"As a first-time home seller with little knowledge of home repair and staging, I was concerned and overwhelmed with the process. My condo had aged, and I wasn't sure what needed to be done to ready it for market. Bob performed his own home inspection of the unit and created a plan for repairs. Recommendations came with detailed reasoning and cost, and always required my approval. He oversaw multiple vendors to repaint the unit, replace the hot water heater, service the fire place, and replace the garbage disposal. Bob researched new appliances that added value to the unit without going overboard. He oversaw the purchase and installation of appliances, dealing with bumps in the road such as scheduling Arlington County to inspect the gas line. To save money and time, Bob took care of some repairs himself: fixing a hole in the bathroom door, installing a new towel hook, and ordering warranty parts for the plumber. Bob took care of everything; I didn't need to visit my unit during the entire process! His efforts created a listing that showed in exceptional condition with reasonable costs. After repairs, Bob provided daily updates on showings, document retrieval, and back and forth with the buyer. It was a level of involvement I had not expected, but greatly appreciated. My condo sold 12 days after listing at 98% of list price. I plan on using him to purchase my next home."
- Akshay Pandit"I'd like to share how wonderful it has been to work with Jo-Ann Hoovler in the recent sale of my townhouse in Leesburg, Virginia. From listing to closing, Jo-Ann was the consummate professional. She helped me throughout the renovation process and had many great suggestions to both save me money and provide a quality home for purchase. Jo-Ann made many staging improvements with touches of furniture and decorations which gave buyers an idea of how comfortable this home could be. Her marketing campaign brought in many prospective buyers allowing for a quick sale. JoAnn's pricing strategy was based on her knowledge of the market, past sales, and the competition; ultimately this was successful in bringing in multiple offers. The final price was well above the minimum I "expected" so I was very happy! Jo-Ann was diligent in keeping me informed of what was required in each step of the selling process. She followed up with all parties on their obligations so that we met the agreed-to closing date. From beginning to end JoAnn made sure we had all the right information and were comfortable with each step of the process. Without a doubt I will seek her out again and again for all of my real estate needs and I will continue to refer Jo-Ann to my friends and family."
- Tim"Wendy was quite simply outstanding while managing both the sale of our old house and the purchase of our new one. My wife and I have bought and sold many homes over the years and we've never had such a smooth, well-managed process. She was absolutely meticulous in the tracking of each and every step of not only our two transactions, but also the two contingent sales on which our sale and purchase hinged, as well. She kept us well informed throughout the process and talked us through all of the contingencies and requirements with ease. She was knowledgeable of the neighborhoods we were interested in and her instincts were spot-on. Based on her sound advice and guidance in staging the house, we had an offer at our asking price just days after we put the house on the market. Her expertise and professionalism was really what set Wendy apart from any real estate agent we have ever worked with, she earned our trust early on and maintained it throughout the process and beyond. I wouldn't even consider using any other realtor - she's the best. Thanks Wendy!"
- Dave & Amy D."After being friends with Wendy for over a decade, it was a pleasure to see her professionalism and proficiency when we worked with her to purchase a new home. She was very organized and detail oriented, and her passion for all things real estate shines through in her work. On the purchase of our new home in Virginia, Wendy guided us through an unusual and prolonged contract process with the right amount of patience, persistence, and diplomacy. Upon the successful purchase of our new home, she then helped us sell our prior home on a short timeline. Thanks to Wendy's expert guidance regarding budget-conscious upgrades to our old home, coordination with contractors, practiced eye for staging, and effective marketing campaign, our old home was under contract within a week of listing. We obtained an extraordinary price and breezed through a pain free contract process. We don't hesitate to recommend Wendy to anyone that is in the market to buy or sell."
- Doug G. & Gretchen K."Lauren was very professional and responsive. She was proactive in planning for contingencies and very attentive to details. She made our job very easy. Lauren was delightful to work with."
- S.M."Ann completely met and surpassed my expectations of a Realtor with her professionalism, knowledge, availability and helpfulness. As an out-of-town Seller I heavily relied on her opinions and her time since she handled all of the pre-selling projects."
- John M."I just wanted to take this time to thank Bob Martini for the sale of our home of 40 years. He is a very professional individual who showed great empathy for a family that was very emotionally attached to its home. I would highly recommend him! He made the entire process effortless."
- The McLaughlin Family"Chris is thoroughly professional and manages every detail of the listing process with style and attention. We are delighted with how our transaction went at every junction. Chris was always there to hold our hands and provide excellent advice. She was so positive and enthused about our house, and provided excellent service way beyond her scope of work."
- SB"It is not an exaggeration, in the least, to say my wife and I would have been overwhelmed by the entire process of purchasing our new home were it not for Chris. Her level of service throughout the process was absolutely exemplary. What's more, this was all accomplished while our own preferences around the location and price of our new home were continually changing. Her professionalism, integrity, knowledge and unambiguous commitment to put her client's interest above everything else were evident to us, and she had our trust from the outset. We looked for her counsel on every decision we made."
- KS"Chris is beyond wonderful. She is smart, knowledgeable, personable and a pleasure to work with. She listened to what we wanted and planned accordingly. We were very pleased."
- ML"We can't thank you enough for all of your time, patience and understanding during our home search. It all worked out....just like you said it would! You are truly a class act and we are thankful we were able to go on this journey with you."
- LS"We are sitting in the breakfast area of our new home looking out over the golf course as the sun sets and are thinking about how you helped us sell our McLean house so we could be here. Thank you so much for all you did in staging and marketing to bring home that sale. You made it very easy to move forward."
- CK"We were looking to downsize from a multi-level townhouse to a single-level condo, with specific preferences as to location and size. It had also been years since we bought or sold a house. We needed someone to guide us through the process, look out for our interests, and be our trusted advocate. Bob Johnson was the perfect agent - everything we were looking for and more. He took time to understand our needs, give us honest advice, and stuck with us for as long as it took. As a condo owner himself and past President on two condo boards, he knew exactly what to look for in reviewing HOA documents (which he read thoroughly) and assess the viability of HOA management. Bob's professionalism and counsel reduced our anxiety. He was impeccably honest and forthcoming, giving us the necessary information to make decisions on our timeframe, and always returning our calls promptly with answers to our questions. His thorough research on comparables enabled us to negotiate a deal quickly to our advantage in a competitive market. He went beyond our expectations. When discovering after the home inspection that one of the blinds did not work, he gave us the funds to purchase a replacement. Following the condo purchase and our move, we trusted him to sell our townhouse and get the best deal possible. He knew exactly what buyers were looking for and how to prepare our house for market, taking the initiative to do small repairs himself to save us time and money (touch up painting, caulking, replace outlet covers), negotiate with and oversee contractors for major repairs on home inspection (electrical & plumbing work, radon remediation), and visiting frequently to keep the house tidy and fresh (cleaning, sweeping, and removing snow from patio). Our house actually sold before listing it on the MLS, and at our full asking price thanks to Bob's marketing strategy and negotiating skills. When we began our home search we contacted Bob on the recommendation of a neighbor. If you are looking for an honest and capable agent who will shoulder the stress of home buying/selling, go all out for your needs and get you the best deal, Bob Johnson is your guy."
- John and Mencit Thomas"Lauren was great! Honest, flexible and personalized service. Our expectations were met and exceeded."
- M.T."Wendy provided exceptional service throughout this whole home-buying process. She was very responsive to emails and phone calls. We loved working with Wendy, and we will definitely recommend her to friends who are looking to purchase a home."
- Tim & Alaina T."Pat Day & Mason Bavin are great! They always go the extra mile in marketing and get their home listings sold quickly. We had an excellent experience with them in selling our home in Alexandria, VA., this past spring. Not only do they have many years of successful experience in representing clients and in home buying and selling, they also make very constructive and gentle suggestions for simple changes in decorating that will make your home much more appealing to buyers. They are professional, reliable, friendly and comforting. Pat has helped us buy and sell homes around Alexandria for the past 20 years and Mason is an Alexandria native and experienced agent. They will tell you the hard facts but they are always positive in their motivation!"
- Eve & Ron"Working with Mason and Pat was truly a pleasure! They opened our minds to new possibilities and we've found our perfect dream house-and we weren't even looking! We couldn't be happier with our decision and look back on the experience with great fondness."
- Ines & Mike"We felt we were in great hands with Mason. She provided great advice as we sold our house and bought a new one. Most importantly, we always felt that she was always there for us and looking out for our best interests. We highly recommend her!"
- Tom & Kris Schulz"Mason was fantastic! Through Mason, I believe we got the most out of our property!"
- Chet"They genuinely care about meeting the needs of their clients and are extremely bright and responsive. We owe them a debt of gratitude for closing our complicated deal. They are first class individuals - who sincerely care about their realtor craft."
- Kristie & Ted"Mason is the consummate professional, and what discerning buyers should expect from their realtor. She listens well, recommends according to buyer preferences; takes feedback gracefully; and, her follow-through is thorough, accurate and on-time. Even after the closing, Mason went out of her way to connect us with area suppliers, and make us feel welcome here in her home town of Alexandria. Overall, we had a great experience with McEnearney, and Mason Bavin in particular. Thank you!"
- Susan & Chris"If you are looking for an amazing real estate agent in Alexandria VA, then look no further! Mason is exceptionally professional and was always there to take my calls, which were many and answered all my concerns with a calmness and professionalism that was second to none. Mason has immense integrity that was obvious from our first meeting and from that first day to our closing 30 days later I am honored to now call Mason a close family friend. Trustworthy, professional, & efficient are clearly part of Masons DNA. Thank you Mason for everything. You make this business look effortless, which as we all know is not! You are the best!"
- Niamh"Dear Pat and Mason: Please accept my sincerest gratitude and praise for your tireless efforts. Without your market expertise and professionalism, my Dad's house would probably still be "for sale" instead of sold and settled. Additionally, your oversight and attention to detail with needed repair/reno work proved invaluable to me since I live a couple of hours away. Having bought and sold several homes over the years, I can really appreciate the talent and diligence you both bring to the table. This transaction was by far the smoothest and most trouble-free sale that I have ever experienced. Thank you for your keen assessment of the current housing situation in Alexandria. Your personal touch, professional demeanor, and teamwork fostered a "win/win" environment throughout the entire process. Every home buyer and seller should get to enjoy your very professional services! I wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone wanting to buy or sell real estate in Alexandria. You will both certainly continue to flourish and have much future success!"
- Phil"I want to thank you so very much for all of your hard work in getting my condo sold in just1 week! From the advice you gave me on the preparation for saleof my unit to the contract negotiation and closing, you were always readily available to me and answered all of my questions. I will recommend you to anybody that I know searching for realtors. I cannot thank you enough for making the entire process go smoothly! You both make a great team! Thank you! Christina Sadorf I so appreciate you both!"
- Christina"Right from the start, she demonstrated the kind of energy, imagination, and enthusiasm any seller could hope for, she: - Developed an informative, easy to read brochure - Was properly assertive - without being aggressive - Was immediately responsive to all requests and inquiries - Continually monitored progress and followed through - Kept us adequately informed at all times In these days when one is so often disappointed with service received, it is really refreshing to have expectations met and exceeded. Susan Tull O'Reilly has outstanding personal qualities of intelligence, gentleness, caring, concern, tenacity and flawless professionalism."
- ER & RR, Arlington VA"We are so grateful for all your help with the purchase of the house. We consider ourselves fortunate to have met you and to have had the pleasure of working with you."
- RM & UM, Falls Church VA"We want to recognize your work and thank you for guiding us through this process. You've been patient and professional with a sense of what we were looking for in this complicated home-buying business. We always appreciated your understated support and low-key perseverance in this time - and your advice and expertise in the complex buying/selling procedures, especially in the tough winter months!"
- CN & MN, Falls Church VA"I was hoping to work with an aggressive yet caring agent, and those traits are exactly yours. Your patience, your ability to listen and respond, and your professional conduct were greatly appreciated."
- DB, Arlington VA"Barbara is the optimum combination of professionalism and personal engagement. She and Jud Burke make an excellent real estate team. They guide you through the process with thoughtfulness and utmost consideration of your property - and the impact on your life. I could NOT have achieved the sales price on my home - without this expert team! And this was the 4th real estate transaction with Barbara --- so that in itself says a lot about her expertise!"
- Lynn"Courtney was excellent. She did everything she had to in order to sell my condo & secure my new home & was direct & honest when she needed to be."
- Meredith, Old Town Alexandria"Thanks again for all of your help with our apartment search. You seriously made all of the difference for us with your extended support. We really appreciate it."
- Kate, Alexandria"Barbara is a wonderful, experienced, knowledgeable, kind, and patient real estate PROFESSIONAL. She worked with me to buy my condominium and later to sell it, and she is a great buyer's and seller's agent. Selling is a much more involved process and Barbara was so good at walking me through thesteps, advising me, and reassuring me when I made decisions. She backed everything up with thorough market research. I had moved away to Atlanta and rented out my condo for two years. When I decided to sell, Barbara supported me completely, from assisting my renters with move out to letting in workers when I put in a new carpet, had the unit painted, and had various other workers in my unit. She handled it all and I wrote the checks. I can't tell you what a help that is for an out-of- state seller. Not to mention the level of trust I have/had in her to allow someone else to be my agent. I literally did not have to fly up there once. She even coordinated all the closing paperwork and I signed all my documents securely online. On a personal level, Barbara is a special person who is very adept at LISTENING to what you what and advising you in a respectful way when she might disagree. And I found that she was right every time. I can't say enough about Barbara, and if I didn't now live in Atlanta, I'd be using her again as I purchase my home here. You can't go wrong with Barbara. Oh! And she found me a buyer at my open house the FIRST weekend it was available, because she is GREAT with marketing and encouraged me to price it right. And I think the fact that she baked her famous zucchini bread didn't hurt either. I closed in less than 30 days, partly because it was a cash offer, but mostly because of Barbara's great work ethic."
- Kate"Barbara has done a terrific job helping my buy and sell -- and rent! As properties in Alexandria, VA. I happily recommend her. She also finds and does background checks for renter's. Excellent service"
- Carl & Ann"Buying a house was a distant goal and one that was a little daunting. Barbara was amazing - she invested so much time in helping me understand the process, showed me around several geographical areas and many different types of homes to help me zero in on where and what I liked, she introduced me to an amazing mortgage broker who even came to the closing, and she helped guide me - especially when emotion might have led me to making impulsive decisions. I felt at all times that she had my best interest at heart, she was patient, she was caring, and her advice and guidance led me to buying a home much, much earlier than I had dared dream. Thank you Barbara - you are the best! If you are looking for an exceptional real estate agent to help you navigate this process - I whole heartedly recommend her!"
- Deb"Sold our home in Old town Alexandria. Great price.Provided detailed insight on the current real estate market. Two open houses conducted by Barbara were exceptional and attracted many offers, one of them ended in sale of the house. She is excellent, has wonderful sense of humor and intuition about people. Highly recommend."
- Inna"We recently asked Barbara Cousens and her partner, Jud Burke, to handle the sale of our Old Town Alexandria condominium apartment. They quickly put it on the market and expertly arranged tasteful staging, open houses, and advertising. Throughout the process, they kept us closely informed and never seemed to tire in their pursuit of the right outcome. Their efforts delivered a good, solid sale and a first-rate experience for everyone concerned. We recommend these savvy professionals without the slightest reservation and expect to return to them for any future real-estate dealings"
- Mary"Wonderful to work with! My husband and I met Barbara at an open house when we were house hunting on our own. Although Barbara wasn't the listing agent of the property, she took the time to walk with us through the entire property giving us ideas and tidbits of information about the property and the surrounding area. We liked Barbara's candid and easy nature so much that we asked her to help us find our first home. Through the entire process Barbara was professional, honest, friendly, and responsive. We highly recommend Barbara. "
"Barbara worked with us on 3 separate real estate transactions (both buying and selling/renting). She was wonderful. She did an incredible amount of research, listened to all our concerns, was patient and understanding about our budget and our schedule, negotiated well for us, and ultimately foundus exactly what we were looking for. She had great local contacts who helped us with the inspection, financial matters, and contracting work. I would definitely work with her again, and highly recommend her services to anyone in the Alexandria area. She is really terrific!

- Kelly"We worked with Nora after our mother passed away and we needed to sell her house. This was obviously difficult, notwithstanding the fact that both my brother and I were 3000 miles away. Nora was the consummate professional. She knew what needed to be done and had the contacts in order to list the house as quickly as possible and in its best condition. She handled everything efficiently and respectfully and got the house sold quickly and with minimal stress. We were very pleased with her work and could not recommend her highly enough."
- Alice"Working with Nora was incredible! For both buying and selling my condo, Nora was thorough and responsive. She really listened and helped me identify what was important to me and used her expertise to find a property that met my needs. When selling, she was so on top of everything and coordinated everything so I only had to worry about getting my move organized, and she even helped me with that! There was no problem too big or small to bring to Nora and she always had the expertise and recommendations to solve it. Working with Nora was a dream and I would highly recommend her."
- Katie"Nora was wonderful throughout the long process of cleaning out and selling a family house in Palisades. She helped us at every stage, and made it much easier than it would have been without her expert advice and contacts. She really knows the market and was able to advise us on what to expect. And she's a pleasure to work with. I'd recommend her highly."
- Jennifer"With Nora's expert help we sold our home in the Palisades quickly and with minimal disruption. She was efficient, effective and communicative. Her long experience in the DC market was important to us, as was her personalized approach to her work. When we still had not received a refund from the buyer's escrow company for our WASA deposit four months after closing we asked Nora to help us. She arranged for the refund on the same day we contacted her. We can recommend Nora Burke without reservation."
- Peter & Sheila"Nora Burke is a consummate professional. Sharon and I have known Nora for many years, but we were truly privileged to have her as our agent over the last year and a half. Her market knowledge, her ability to communicate clearly and concisely, and her consistent and rigorous work ethic made looking for and buying our new home enjoyable and as stress free as a major life experience could have been. We would recommend Nora to anyone considering an agent for selling or buying a house in this area. Nora's assistance was comprehensive; helping us pull together the other team members from the loan officer, the mortgage company, many sub-contractors, and others. Her recommendations were always spot on and made the entire process move smoothly and rapidly. If we ever need to move again, there would be no thought but to work with Nora again."
- Sharon & Wil"Nora found me a condo that I absolutely love in an incredibly short time. She is efficient, knowledgeable, and personable. When/if I outgrow this place I will be sure to call her again!"
- Monica"Barbara is an excellent agent. She is very knowledgeable about her work and the market. She was very responsive to our requests and needs. Barbara is a consummate professional."
- Jim & Sharon"When my mother passed away in June 2016, I spent the next several months settling her estate which included selling her apartment in NW Washington DC. When I contracted with Nora Burke the following summer I had reached a plateau and was getting frustrated. I told Nora that I needed to sell the apartment and needed motivation to do so. Within three days Nora had lined up various vendors to have an estate sale, a shipper to send heirlooms to my siblings, someone to dispose of whatever was left and then get the apartment in shape for selling. Nora was always supportive and encouraging, offering advice and suggestions on how best to accomplish our mother's wishes. With her help we were able to have the apartment ready for sale in short order. We listed the apartment on a weekend and we had it sold on the next Monday. Thank you Nora for all your support and work that to me was above and beyond the norm of what I had experienced with other realtors."
- Steve"BJ went above and beyond to find my family and me the perfect place in Leesburg. We couldn't be happier. We will certainly be reaching out to BJ in the next couple years when we are ready to buy and I recommend her every chance I get!"
- Clinton Shivers"Over the past decade, Noel has helped our family buy and sell. Her knowledge and tenacity made the buying and selling process faster and less stressful. Noel secured a full-price offer for our home within 12 hours of our open house. She also obtained for us our dream home, well under asking, and aligned closing dates to minimize disruption. Additionally, we had the pleasure of filming an episode of HGTV's "My First Place" with Noel. Her charm and humor made filming a fun process. We highly recommend Noel to anyone looking to buy or sell."
- Jason and Stephanie H."I have known Noel for nearly a decade now, and she is someone who always goes the extra mile. She's helped me purchase two homes, and recently helped sell one of those properties. We listed the home on a Friday and in a matter of days we had multiple offers. I had just had a baby and she took the stress out of the process by making it so easy, from listing the property, to getting the contract, all the way through the closing. If you're in need a real estate agent who will go above and beyond to work for you, call Noel!"

- Joel White, Vienna, VA"We were completely happy with all aspects of Bay's service. She was thoroughly professional and personable."
- Nelson & Amy Burton, Oakton, VA"Best Realtor ever! Bay went so far above and beyond what I ever could expect of a realtor.

We found the perfect place at the perfect price, and it never would have happened without Bay."
- Rosemary Jenks, Arlington, VA"Bay worked non-stop and tirelessly to sell our home and help us buy our current home. Awesome experience and agent!"

- Jeanne Lockhart, Gainesville, VA"Being out of town, it was so important to me that Charilyn Cowan is a trustworthy, experienced, professional, personable, knowledgeable, hard-working, detail-oriented and dedicated agent. She went above and beyond in working with me to prepare the home and negotiate a successful sale, turning an initial offer into a much higher sales price. Throughout the process, she gave me objective market data and consulted thoroughly with me, answering all my questions and those I hadn??t thought to ask. . . . I could not have found a better realtor for me - I highly recommend Charilyn if you want to sell your property! No one will do a better job!"
- Rebecca R., university professor"Charilyn Cowan is a thorough, dedicated, knowledgeable and skilled professional who really goes the extra mile for her clients. . . Over many years, she has helped me sell property, buy and sell again and each time has been a strong and successful advocate in achieving the best results possible. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants expert assistance in buying or selling a home - she's the best!"
- Jody P., writer, trainer and international consultant"We had been looking in Old Town and just couldn't find anything. One day, we stopped by an open house which Courtney was showing. It wasn't the right house for us but we quickly realized Courtney was the right realtor for us- we appreciated her directness and honesty. I rang her the next day to ask her if she'd help us find a house. She said she would. We saw 4 properties with her, all of which had been pre-qualified by Courtney for our taste and budget. #4 was an immediate winner. Courtney's superb communication and negotiating skills got us through a tricky negotiation. We are thrilled with our new home. Courtney is now not only our realtor but also a friend."
- Annie, Old Town Alexandria"We could not have asked for a better agent and have used Courtney to sell two homes & buy a third. Each experience exceeded our expectations. We did not know a great deal about the selling & buying process and Courtney was extremely patient and responsive to all of our questions and frequent appointments. She went above and beyond what we expected of an agent and worked extremely hard. She is professional, diligent and persistent. I highly recommend working with her"
- Anna, Alexandria"This e-mail is to tell you what you probably already know. Your agent, Kaaren Lofgren of the Leesburg, VA, office is an asset that any agency would be fortunate and proud to have on board! Kaaren was recommended to us by Sue and Allison Goodhart DuShuttle of the Goodhart Group, who are affiliated with McEnearney Associates in the Alexandria, VA, office. I have an elderly cousin who lives in a retirement community in Alexandria. She had owned a property outside Winchester, VA, since 1967 and had planned to use it as her retirement utopia. The house, which had been built in 1900, was quaint. The view was incredible! However, the house had fallen into disrepair. There were issues with the well, the septic system, the heating system, and many other aspects of the property. Kaaren exhibited her sunny personality throughout the entire sales process and never lost her wonderful sense of humor. Kaaren took the project on in a thoroughly professional manner. She was prompt in returning phone calls and she kept us in the loop throughout the entire process. She took care of getting overgrown debris (tires, a pick-up truck bed cover, bed springs, etc.) hauled away. She took samples of water from the spigots to help satisfy County health test requirements. She met on-site with tradesmen, whom she had found for us, to keep the grass cut and to rebuild a portion of the septic system. She had the inside of the house cleaned after we had already paid a property management company big dollars to perform the same work, but which obviously was not done. My cousin lives three-hours away from the property and no longer drives. We live four-hours away and could not have kept up with the work that needed to be done. Kaaren's office is almost 50-miles and an hour's time away from the property, yet she made the trip whenever necessary to accomplish needed tasks. We went to settlement yesterday! If there were a way to nominate her as Realtor of the Year, I would like to know the procedure. (Email sent to Maureen Dunn, President, McEnearney Associate)"
- John Roberts"To say that Bob did an outstanding job is to understate it! He went above and beyond my expectations and indeed set up a standard of excellence. It was my first time selling and here I really understood the value of a real estate agent. On the buyer side, of course it is important to have a diligent agent who can help you appraise and execute the transaction, but when you sell, it's a whole different animal and here the agent can bring a tangible value-added, which Bob absolutely did. He made this whole experience predictable and stress-less. He did an exceptional job preparing the unit for market: arranged for painting and all necessary repairs, which were multiple; supervised and tracked progress himself; dealt with payments and ensured quality of service. He always sought my approval before proceeding and made sure the job was executed with an acceptable quality. He even did some work on the apartment himself - scraped errant paint all through unit; re-hung blinds; ordered blinds parts and fixed blinds; washed floor to ceiling windows; bought tub spout and disposal for contractors to install; ordered and escorted locksmith repairing 2 door locks; ordered and escorted maids and did cleaning himself to maintain it after that. He really saved me tons of time, headaches and money and at the same time, I never had any "surprises" with Bob - everything went as agreed. Bob held an open house - which was successful - I signed a contract on day four. Bob provided invaluable support and demonstrated excellent negotiation skills - I was happy with the full price offer! Closer to the settlement, Bob detected and corrected errors on the draft settlement statement. He kept excellent records and at the end of transaction provided me with a summary of works performed, receipts, etc. Overall, A+. I'll recommend Bob to all my friends who are buying or selling!"
- Alexander Sharabaroff"My wife and I met Colleen during an open house in Alexandria and were highly impressed with her professionalism, knowledge of the Northern Virginia region and her dedication to supporting her clients. Since then we have worked with Colleen to sell one home and most recently to purchase our primary residence. Buying or selling a home is often one of the largest investments we'll make during our lifetime. Having Colleen on our side has provided us the confidence that we're being well represented and allowed us to thoroughly enjoyed the process.

- Kelley M."From a third party perspective, B.J. has gone to great lengths to ensure that her customer found the right home, and has gone above and beyond to make the home buying experience as stress-free as possible for her client. As a realtor representing the seller, she has shown the highest levels of courtesy and respect, maintained great communication (which is very important!) and has fostered a cooperative relationship with all parties. She's been a fantastic representative of the company and I hope to work with her again in the future!"
- Jeremy Rowe"Kristy was exactly what we needed in a realtor! We had ten days to find a home before a cross-country move. She listened to our needs, zeroed in and essentially cleared her schedule to focus on helping us succeed in the house hunt. She spent five days with my husband, tirelessly showing him our options, and then when we decided on a new build she continued to stick with us during the process, even helping us find temporary housing. She is organized, communicates very clearly, and she is so pleasant. We would highly recommend her."
- Carla B."Kristy is a well known and well-respected realtor in Alexandria, VA. Throughout the process, Kristy gave us excellent guidance, unflagging availability, endless patience, and a deep knowledge about a wide range of homes and neighborhoods. She was also a natural fit for our family - learning about our needs and wants as a young and growing family. I truly believe her reputation and expertise helped in our offer getting accepted. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Kristy again or give her anything but the highest recommendation."
- Melissa C."Miriam was always available to me by phone or text and always responded quickly. As a first time home buyer, I appreciated her tidbits of advice and a little bit of extra handholding. Excellent service throughout my experience. Everything went so smoothly from beginning to end."
- Bekah M."Miriam Miller is the smartest and most dedicated realtors that I've had a pleasure working with. Focused on delivering superior services to home owners, Miriam ensured success in selling our home by developing a big picture strategy and then leading us confidently through every detailed step. Her assistance during the point of sale, within a competitive bid situation, was professional and effective. The end result...we sold our home in 2 days and 12k over our asking price! Miriam knows real estate, left, right, up, down and sideways. She will always go the extra mile, her knowledge and communication are unparalleled."
- Emily A."We highly recommend Madeline Caporiccio as a real estate agent for any individual or family searching for the ideal home. Madeline helped us find our first home in 2007 and, when we decided to sell it in 2017, she sold it in one showing! In the intervening years, we recommended Madeline to anyone we knew looking for a realtor, several of our friends ultimately purchased homes with her as their agent. Madeline is hard working, attentive, organized, warm and very savvy when it comes to the NOVA market. Above all else, Madeline is very customer-oriented we were her first priority! During both sales, she took diligent notes on our preferences and stuck to our budget. Originally, we were in the market to buy a townhome. Madeline, however, went out on a limb and showed us the perfect cape cod style house in a wonderful neighborhood. We immediately fell in love with the house and yard and started the process to buy it. Madeline kept in touch every step of the way until we closed. When our jobs took us out of the area and we made the decision to sell, Madeline was once again with us from the start. She made suggestions on how to maximize the value of our home and helped us to find trusted contractors for some minor issues that added greatly to the ease with which our home sold. She found us multiple bidders on the very first day! Once we entered contract negotiations, the process was incredibly smooth, far less stressful than we imagined it would be. We cannot thank her enough for her help, and if we ever move back to the area, she is only realtor we will call."
- Shane and Carrie M."We have greatly appreciated the time, effort and skills you put into selling the apartment - especially through the holiday season and in spite of us being on the other side of the world. You have been outstanding. Your quick response time, thoroughness, and dedication are impressive. We look forward to recommending you to our friends and will definitely hire you again when we start the search for our next home."
- Kelley Miller"Excellent, always available to talk, meet, very organized and knowledgeable. My search was only to find a rental property, but Jean gave me full attention and time looking at the properties. She helped me quickly find a great property in a great location!"
- Catherine D."Very generous with her time. Prepared for our visits. Knowledgeable of rental market. Service oriented."
- Jerry H."We had excellent service! Jean Beatty was extremely prompt in reaching out to me (as we were out of state renters) to get an idea of how she could best assist us in our search for a lease. We had a lengthy conversation and I felt she understood our criteria of what would be the best suited options for us to see. Upon meeting Jean, we liked her immediately and appreciated her expertise, knowledge and patience while spending the day together as we looked at so many listings! We would highly recommend Jean to anyone looking for a super agent!"
- Denise Z."Have had three great experiences with Marilyn Cantrell and would recommend her to anyone. She's always eager to assist and fights on your behalf. Marilyn knew the price point we wanted and helped us to form a contract to best get a ratified contract for the price we wanted."
- Megan, Repeat Buyer/Seller"Marilyn was courteous and very responsive in response to all our questions and concerns. She made herself available on short notice and according to our own busy schedule. She was very creative as to what household items should be removed to stage the condo and what items could remain to assist in staging. She did a fantastic job of staging the condo. Marilyn was readily available to explain all the steps to be followed when signing various documents. She was forthcoming with ideas as to how to achieve a fast potential offer on the condo. She offered guidance and advice as to how to make a decision when we had three simultaneous offers."
- Delores, Seller/Buyer"Jamie helped my husband and I buy a home in November 2014. We were moving into the Washington DC metro area from a very different type of real estate market in another state. Jamie helped us learn a new market quickly, and patiently showed us a variety of homes and neighborhoods. With his help, we were able to narrow down our search to a more manageable size, and we were very pleased with how quickly he understood the qualities we were looking for in our search - especially walkability and good schools. I appreciated the time he took to walk through the customs and procedures of real estate transactions in the area, which differ somewhat from the market we were coming from. He was always respectful and patient, and I would highly recommend him for a sale or purchase representation in the Washington metro area. ~ Bought a Single Family home in 2014 in Cherrydale, Arlington, VA"
- Julie Elmer - Buyer"Jamie is the perfect blend of professional knowledge and friendly personality which made the process less stressful and fun! Jamie was accommodating and patient as we changed our needs during the search and purchase of the home. He understood what we were looking for and how to get it at a fair price. Jamie was the perfect realtor for us! Friends and family would tell us that buying a home is one of the most stressful experiences one can go through but Jamie made sure to clearly communicate each step of the process in order to ease our stress. He helped us find our dream home I could not be happier! I would recommend Jamie to any person/people looking for property. He is easy to talk to, always professional & courteous, and truly understands his clients needs. It was an absolute pleasure working with him."
- Peter G - Buyer"We have had outstanding experiences working with Jamie twice in the last five years - once when purchasing our home and more recently when selling it. Jamie is extremely knowledgeable about the DC market and the process that it takes to close deals. He provides the right level of information that one needs to be able to make good decisions, and spends as much time as you need to discuss various options. He is extremely responsive, as well as being considerate and personable. We have recommended Jamie to friends and colleagues over the years, and we will continue to do so enthusiastically."
- Ann W - Buyer & Seller"I owned a condo in Washington DC and decided to sell it at a bad time of year (holidays coming). Jamie was totally on the ball and helped me arrange for painters and having the unit staged for sale, using people he had used before in similar situations. Jamie was sensitive to the costs involved and always had estimates sent to me for approval. All of this while I sat in California! Jamie's communication was excellent, walking me through the paperwork for the tenants to file, the papers for the listing, and the closing papers. I would use Jamie again with no hesitation. Job well done!"
- Janet H - Seller"Jamie came highly recommended by my neighbor (who had worked with him to purchase her condo), and I am grateful for her advice and for the great combination of Jamie's professionalism and expertise. Jamie is very knowledgeable about the DC market. He responded to questions (and--if you're like me, worries) and raised issues I hadn't thought of. Beyond the technical/process stuff, he also understands the emotional dimensions of selling a home and moving on. Jamie went above and beyond what might be expected of any realtor: he researched and identified a place that could de-fog two large windows, he delivered the windows up to the place (relatively out of the way in Silver Spring), and even picked them up after the repair, delivering them to the contractor Matt Stone (whom Jamie recommended) hired to spruce up the unit. From our very first meeting, I knew that Jamie would be able to guide me throughout the sale of the condo. I was especially happy with the description and photos he selected for the MRIS listing, demonstrating his great "eye" and wonderful way with words. ~ Sold a Condo home in 2017 in Bloomingdale, Washington, DC."
- J. Salen ~ Seller"Jamie is fantastic! We highly recommend working with him! You will be in great hands. My husband and I were first time home buyers. Jamie is so incredibly knowledgeable about EVERYTHING, a great negotiator when it comes to bidding on a house, is very honest and straightforward, patient, very helpful, and goes out of his way to make sure that you find the house that you are looking for. He is quick to respond, very accessible, will show you houses quickly so you don't miss an opportunity to bid on a hot property, knows the market extremely well, has tons of experience, and will educate you on every step the process. He even helped us with finding a contractor for work that we needed done on the house (that we had planned to do when we bought it), and has still been helpful and available to us even after our house sale was complete. In addition to his expertise, he is a very warm and friendly, and takes the time to get to know you, so he understands your preferences and what you are looking for. We felt supported and taken care of throughout the entire process and will definitely work with him again if we ever decide to buy another house. ~ Bought a Townhouse home in 2018 in Wesley Heights, Washington, DC"
- Ulka Agarwal - Buyer"This has been my third home in the Metro DC area I have purchased with Jamie. For me, he is a perfect realtor, he is always available and shows me properties usually within a day or two of when I become interested. Two of my homes have been in MD and the other in VA. Adding that he lives in DC I think this shows that he has knowledge and experience in all of the local markets. When I need another home I will definitely reach out to him. As an added bonus, the lenders and lawyers he works with are top notch, so if you need any guidance he will easily be able to assist. ~ Bought and sold a home in 2017 in Bluemont, Arlington, VA 22205"
- Rollie Berry - Buyer"I can not say enough positive things about Judy. From the beginning to the end she made me feel at ease about the entire home sale process, and always took the time to make sure I understood what was going on. She definitely went above and beyond to take care of any issues that popped up including scheduling a cleaning crew, and taking care of last minute details to make sure my apartment was in prime condition for sale. Thanks again Judy!"
- Max V."Judy was helpful, thorough, and really knowledgeable throughout the entire home buying process. I was really happy to work with her and she did her best to make sure I found a home where I would be happy. She ensured that all the conditions of the sale were fully met by the sellers and worked hard to maintain clear communication with me, even with the difficulties of inter-state and international separation during the buying process. She continued to follow up, even after the closing, to make sure that contracted repairs were completed, and that small issues were taken care of - even taking the time to meet repair people at the house when I wasn't available. Judy is a great realtor and a great person to work with to find a home."
- Matt H."We have never met a more pleasant, helpful, knowledgeable, hard working person. We started our house search with a REALTOR, and ended our search with a real friend! Judy was a tremendous help in finding us a home that was not only within our budget, it met most of our wants and needs list! At times, especially moving often, the process can become a bit daunting... Judy seemed to be able to understand us, and genuinely engaged in the process to ensure we were not only satisfied, but truly comfortable and confident with our decisions. Judy was extremely helpful in taking care of those things a home buyer can sometimes forget, or become overwhelmed by-again, with sincere interest, and integrity. Judy is a true professional. We recommend Judy to anyone that may find themselves in the market, buying or selling. You will be confident knowing she will not only do a stellar job, but take great care of you throughout the process! Thanks Judy-it's SO good to be HOME!!"
- Glenn and Julie"Judy was a great help to us. We moved here from out of state and had a short window to buy a house before our relocation housing expired. On top of that, we were selling a house out of state. Judy was able to coordinate with our selling agent and get us into our new house quicker than I would have imagined. Before looking at properties in person, Judy showed us a lot of houses online and talked about our likes and dislikes to get a sense of what to show us in person. We house hunted intensely for two days. She showed us homes in our price range, and it was very low pressure. We even brought our two young kids, and Judy was very patient and flexible (letting us stop early for lunch, for example). She was very knowledgeable about neighborhoods all over the area, which really helped us since we were coming from out of town. Once we found a house to put an offer on, Judy walked us through everything. She even arranged for a couple of specialists to come check out specific issues with the house. Since we were selling and buying at the same time, this was tricky for us, but Judy knew what to do and who to call and what question to ask. Put simply, Judy is a consummate professional. We will use her again when we need to buy or sell."
- Peter H."Judy helped us find a wonderful home! We moved from out of state and she was able to help us narrow down homes before we even got to VA. She also helped and coordinated with our realtor from out of state to coincide the sale of our other home with buying our new home. Judy is very knowledgeable of the area. She worked with and our daughters to find a home in our budget and in a time frame that worked for us. She was great with our girls and even brought things to entertain them during or house search! She is patient and listens to what your needs and concerns are. I highly recommend her and would use her again in the future!"
- Kristin H."My real estate experience started with Radvanyi family (at that time, the mother Barbara) over 12 years ago. Since then, they saved me two more sales. Judy and Barbara Radvanyi are a great team and helped me every step of the process. They provide kind and prompt explanations to my questions and informed me with realistic advice. I highly recommend Judy and her team to my friends and my next move."
- K C."Judy was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process. As a first time seller, she provided honest and useful advice. I was extremely happy with her service. Additionally, I moved from Virginia to California just as the condo was put on sale. While being three time zones away makes selling a property complicated, Judy was great in taking care of everything in my absence, often going the extra mile to help me tie up loose ends and make sure we were able to sell the property in a timely manner. I would be more than happy to do business with her again if the situation offered itself."
- Casey R."Judy made the process of finding and buying a house stress-free and easy. She is great to work with and very detail oriented, pointing out lots of things I would have overlooked. She also has been a huge help with getting other arrangements made, such as floor refinishing and carpet cleaning at my new house. Definitely the best realtor I have ever worked with!"
- Henry B."Words can not express the gratitude and appreciation to Judy for all her help and expertise in buying a home in the Northern Virginia area. She is OUTSTANDING! Judy was so patient, friendly, knowledgable about every little detail, and did everything in a timely manner. She never once let me down in any way. I happily and wholeheartedly recommend Judy to everyone interested in buying or selling a home. Through this process, Judy was not just my realtor, but also became my friend too. Judy is amazing. I was very worried about this process and putting my hopes and dreams into the hands of a stranger. But, Judy made everything go smoothly and was actually enjoyable."
- Tiffany T."I would not hesitate to hire Judy Radvanyi again. Worked hard, was in constant communication and delivered on everything she promised."
- Juan M."I don't think I could have had a better realtor for the situation I was in at the time moving to a new location with my company and having to sell or rent my condo in Fairfax. She kept me grounded thru out the whole ordeal. Thanks Judy for all your help in those trying times."
- Paul K."Judy was the best. She not only gave us excellent advice in how to stage our house, fair market value, and was with us through the whole process. We had an offer on our house about a week after she listed. Considering the location (at the bottom of a pipe stem) we never thought it would be so quick and easy. She kept us calm through the whole process and was correct in all her assumptions on what the bidder was looking to do. A true professional and expert at her craft."
- Neil V."People like Judy add little touches of color and warmth to life. Judy helped us sell our house and find our NEW HOME. At times it was stressful but having Judy helping us made it easier and worth it. We are very happy and love our new home; it was all because of Judy."
- Daniela P."Judy has the fine ability to work through problems, which are bound to come up with any transaction, without becoming upset. She keeps her cool and is a problem solver! She is a classy lady who I would highly recommend. I couldn't be happier!"
- Joanne M."Judy is solid as a rock. She gives good advice and protects your interest everyday. You cannot go wrong with her as your agent. Her knowledge of the real estate market in Northern Virginia is right on. It has been a long time between buying my first home and the time I sold this one. Before the buyer could ask questions and the seller could provide information about unique designs of the house they were buying. The current arrangement of the two not exchanging info seems to disadvantage the buyer. The buyer has to learn by trial and error the new environment which takes time."
- Hal D."Judy is awesome. She stayed within our defined our price range and only showed us properties within the area we requested that met our requirements and specifications. As veterans of multiple moves, this was by far our best experience in finding a new home in a new city. Judy was very attentive, driven and focused. She followed up on all of our questions and addressed all of our concerns. Judy made us feel as though we were her only clients. We highly recommend Judy Radvanyi."
- Douglas and Daphne K."In this market, you need a realtor you completely trust. In the search for our home, Judy went the extra mile for us in every part of the process. She always looked out for our best interests and made sure we got the best possible value. Highly recommended!"
- Sharon W. and Martin F."If you're looking to buy or sell a house, Judy is the Real Estate equivalent of winning the lottery. She's exceptional at what she does and a delight to work with. Not only does she understand the market inside out, she knows the big and small complexities of house buying/selling. She advised us without pressuring us and guided us at every turn while remaining exquisitely sensitive to our needs. This was no easy task, as both my husband and I are very particular! Her diligence, patience, and market savvy transformed a process we'd been dreading into an adventure. We are still riding high on the experience of finding our dream home in our dream neighborhood at the right price."
- Alicia M."Judy is an exceptional real estate agent. My husband and I have bought and sold several homes in several states, and she is, by far, the best. We interviewed other agents and Judy was the most prepared and professional. Her advertising/marketing plan was the most comprehensive. During the process, she was very helpful and accommodating. She also put us in touch with an agent in New York to buy our new home. Finally, and very important, is that she is a very nice person and we now consider her as a friend."
- Josephine B."Judy was fantastic to work with. She was very attentive and was a great realtor for someone new to the area and new to the home-buying process in general. She was more than willing to answer any and all questions and went out of her way to make sure we were on track in the process. She was also very willing to make my non-traditional hours work. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone."
- Mike M."Judy was very helpful in selling our home! We had another realtor prior to hiring Judy but he was not proactive. Judy made some minor tweaks on presentation and held several open houses. She kept in touch with us regularly throughout the process. We were very impressed with how Judy handled our negotiation and how she presented very sound options. This expedited the process and she used personal and market knowledge to help us make decisions."
- Robin W."It was a pleasure working with Judy when we recently sold our condo. She made the entire process simple and straightforward. She routinely dealt with difficult situations (i.e., getting our resale disclosure documentation) with a great deal of patience. Her calm demeanor put us at ease at a time of high stress. In addition, her contractor recommendations really helped us out and the work that they did was exactly what we were looking for. Judy even offered to let the contractors in and out of our condo so we didn't have to wait for them. This was a huge time saver for us. Overall, I would highly recommend Judy if you are looking to sell your home or buy a new one."
- Tony S."Moving is always stressful, not with Judy. She took the stress out of selling and moving and made the process so much easier. Sold my condo within 1 week where there were other condos sitting on the market for months. So happy I chose her."
- Katie M."James consistently went above and beyond in his work as my agent. He walked me through everything and never failed to put me at ease when things weren't going as planned. James is a fantastic listener - he found several properties for me that were exactly what I would have picked for myself. He worked at all hours to ensure I got the property I wanted."
- Emily M."Excellent! Couldn't have asked for a better experience. James is the best!"
- Stacey A."I reached out to Jerry at the recommendation of a friend. We were facing some unusual and stressful circumstances, so it made a huge difference to find someone so wonderful to work with. Jerry was great at "rolling with it" and never stopped smiling. She was responsive, proactive, knowledgeable, and worked very hard on our behalf. When we had to do things fast, she made it happen. I am so glad she was in our corner. And now we have a home we love! Thanks, Jerry!"
- Risa and Brad"I met Charlene Schaper over 5 years ago. I sought her out for advice about a condo I own, in Alexandria, and the Old Town Alexandria market. She came very highly recommended for her honesty and great knowledge of the area' s Real Estate market. Upon the untimely death of my beloved brother, I reached out to Charlene to assist in selling 3 properties he had owned. Charlene was always available to answer questions or concerns that would arise. Her gentle guidance and timely solutions to difficulties that did occur helped reduce the stress on me. I cannot express how much appreciation I have for Charlene. The compassion, knowledge, and great advice she shared with me made a difficult, personal, situation so much easier to go through."
- Paula O., seller"Charlene Schaper met and exceeded our expectations. She proved again that she is one of the best in the business. She took a challenging situation and made it work in our favor."
- Jennifer F"I'm writing this to let you know what a great job Charlene did selling my condo. I was so happy that it sold in 6 days. The work that Charlene did to make sure that it sold in a timely manner was amazing. I would like to let anyone know to use Charlene to sell their home and they will be just as happy as I am."
- Robert B."Charlene has been our agent for 20 years and we would never consider anyone else. She is very professional and knowledgeable about all facts dealing with sales and purchasing."
- Norma and David"Charlene always exceeds our expectations. This was our third real estate purchase in as many years and we will continue to come back in the future. We always feel truly valued as clients and Charlene always goes above and beyond."
- David and Alexa"Charlene, I just wanted to write you a note to thank you for all your work and diligence selling my sister's apartment. You are absolutely awesome!"
- Rocio B."Santiago is a hard worker and provides sound advice during each step of the sale. He kept me informed of all activities in a timely manner."
- Gene (Source)"Santiago was very helpful and provided very good services to meet our needs and concerns. He was wise in coming up with strategies to deal with the buyer's agent."
- Alice (Source)"Mark gave us top drawer service for an extended period of time - nearly a year. He was helpful from the start and continued a high level of help and easy access as we did fix ups to our house and then put the house on the market. He also prepared and guided us through the showings and open house process and then helped us when we received multiple offers. Mark helped us achieve a sale way beyond our highest expectations - due to his recommendations for fix ups we listed the house at the high end of his estimate and then received $25K over the asking price. We closed within 30 days and I give Mark 100% of the credit for everything. He knew just what to do to get the best success for us."
- Beverly Firme"Very attentive and knowledgeable about our personal needs and requirements. Always professional, yet personable."
- John Gilmore"Lauren was an absolute pleasure to deal with in a difficult transaction. She was responsive, professional and knowledgeable. Without her, the deal most likely would have not been kept together. Would most definitely work with again."
- D.K. (Washington Fine Properties agent)"It was our good fortune to hire Tammi Curran as our realtor, and it is our sincere pleasure to give her our personal 4-star rating. Tammi is the consummate professional, while also being one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. After living in our home for 30+ years, we not only decided to downsize but also to move cross country to be near our children. This was a monumental decision but once the decision was made, it was all-systems-go. However, the thought of where to begin the process and how to proceed was indeed overwhelming. We began meeting with Tammi in fall, even though our house wasn't going on the market until spring. One of the first things Tammi did was establish a tentative timeline, and then we discussed what needed to happen and when. Following Tammi's advice, we began cleaning out closets and drawers, as well as selling or donating furniture that we would not be taking with us. After that, we tackled some home improvement projects. Our house was exceptionally well-maintained, but we understood that to ready our home to earn top dollar in today's market, we'd need some updates. Tammi wanted us to spend the least amount possible to get optimal results so we decided what we would do and how much we could spend. We hired a contractor who works closely with Tammi, and in less than 2 weeks, painters, plumbers, and electricians gave our house a fresh new makeover. The results were impressive. The house looked spectacular: updated, bright, and very marketable. Finally, came the fun part - staging. Since we still had furniture in our home, Tammi made some great suggestions for rearranging the furniture, and she brought some decorative items that gave the house additional pizzaz. Long story short, in mid-April the house went on the market on a Friday and we accepted a wonderful contract that Sunday evening. It's a given that selling a house can be a stressful process. Tammi helped us navigate those waters providing suggestions and solutions that made the experience manageable...and yes, at times, even enjoyable. She is an excellent realtor and a lovely person to work with. We just can't say enough good things about Tammi. If you hire her, we don't think you'll be disappointed. Tammi Curran certainly exceeded our already high expectations."
- Connie & Bruce Bernhardt"Selling a house can be a daunting task, but Wendy Santantonio made the entire process a breeze. From our first meeting to settlement day, she helped guide us through the process, always able to answer questions, calm nerves and keep the momentum going. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the current market and helped us price our house appropriately. Her keen eye for design and staging elevated our house to a whole new level. The photos in our listing blew the competition away! Within three days, we had over three dozen showings and a dozen offers. Again, her knowledge and expertise helped us sort through the offers and allowed us to make the right choice. We are so happy we made the decision to work with Wendy; we have no doubt that without her, we would not have been as successful."
- Brian & Sarah S."Wendy was the best real estate agent I've ever worked with. She was very thorough, responsive, and helpful from day one, to settlement, and beyond. Her subject matter expertise and professionalism alone makes her arguably the best agent in the area. Coupled with her quality of character, however, I can't imagine anyone holding a candle to her. Wendy made sure all of her business was conducted with the highest level of integrity even at times when it significantly inconvenienced her and/or would've worked against here interest."
- Eddie & Monica H."Katie represented us when we bought a home in March of 2018 and facilitated a seamless home buying experience for us. She was very thorough in explaining the whole process as well as at each stage-specific documents we had to sign. During the house search, she demonstrated excellent knowledge of cpimtrCountry Creek and the broader Vienna area and accommodated special requests from us, including checking the willingness to sell of owners of certain houses we liked particularly well. We also felt Katie placed our interest through out the processs. She meticulously vetted all documents before asking for our signatures. Her attention to detail saved us money when during the final walk-through she identified something that required fixing from the seller. All in all very professional and responsive and I highly recommend Katie to anyone looking to buy/sell.rent."
- pgy001"Katie helped us find a house in Arlington VA in November 2017. After cycling through multiple agents who promised responsiveness and in-depth familiarity with local neighborhoods, I'm thrilled to say that Katie was the only one who actually delivered. She is thorough, very responsive and really made us feel like she was working on our behalf. We would recommend Katie to anyone looking to buy, sell or rent in Northern Virginia, and we look forward to working with her in the future"
- MG Marinelli"I had quite a few stipulations for Katie when I first started looking for a place in Virginia. She found many places that fit all of my needs and still kept looking after I said that I wanted something different. We ended up finding a place that is perfect for me and at a great price none the less. To top it all off I was in a different country when I contacted her and my date to get back home must have changed at least 5 or 6 times. She never complained once and just kept looking until she found the perfect place for me. I could not be happier with where I am living now and I owe that to Katie. She is a great real estate agent and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking"
- M Saudzikowski"Katie Stowe greatly exceeded my expectations in helping me find a condo to rent. She was able to find numerous rentals that met my criteria (even though I may have been vague about what I was looking for). Katie was friendly and professional and worked around my schedule. I will definitely recommend her to others. A+++"
- AMGST42"Katie Stowe helped me find the apartment that I needed. She provided excellent and professional service throughout the whole process. I would recommend her service to anybody."
- Joel A. Moran"I was first blessed with Terri??s expertise when my then fianc and I were purchasing our first townhouse over ten years ago. I was having trouble selling my condo in an up-and-coming area in NE and suspected that my current realtor was not doing everything that needed to be done. After months on the market, Terri stepped in and sold my condo in less than two weeks, and this is after the housing crash. I strongly advised my then fianc to use her to sell his condo in Dupont Circle, and finally after two years of wanting to do it ??his?? way, he used Terri. Again, Terri worked her magic??which consists of levels of dedication and hard work that are immeasurable. The condo sold in a week. When it came time to sell our townhouse in Alexandria, Terri sold our place after the first open house. At the same time, she attended nearly a year of meetings for building our new house in Ellicott City. It wasn??t just a ??fluke,?? either. I recommended Terri??s brand of ??magic?? to two of my friends who were moving, and after a week, both their houses sold and they were able to find new homes that they loved. She is a unique brand if support and no-nonsense that is very needed for any personality type. Moving can be stressful, but I am thankful that Terri has been there for mine. She is able to diffuse situations between disagreeable significant others, while still giving you the peace of mind that she is always in your corner. There is no question that she wants??and will fight for??what is best for you."
- CG"The level of service we received from Wendy was exceptional. This was our first home purchase and she walked us through each and every step thoroughly. She also responded promptly to all of our texts/emails/calls and worked around our somewhat inflexible schedule. Wendy was the BEST!"
- Christine & Adam W."Betty was amazing and extremely helpful in our search for a new house. By far the best agent that I have ever worked with (we have bought 4 houses and sold 3 throughout our time in Alexandria so we have dealt with 8 different agents)."
- The Hewson's"Mary Beth worked very hard to sell the house. I felt that her over-all effort was excellent. She looked after the house after I moved out in September. Did a great job communicating with me on what needed to be done to stage it for February."
- Michael P."Sue Hill is the most patient and thoughtful agent. We sold our house in 3 days for asking price. Doesn't get much better than that. By listening to Sue and doing everything she asked, we knew we were set up for success."
- Sarah Fleischer"Mary Beth did an exceptional job keeping me updated and informed with every step of the buying process. If she did not have an immediate answer to any of my questions, she would promptly look into it and get back to me quickly with the answer. She was very thorough and professional."
- Margaret S."Karen is a gem! She was quick to respond to anything we needed and was available around the clock for house tours, questions, feedback, etc. She put us first even when she didn't have to! Karen really went above and beyond the call of duty and did so with professionalism and warmth. Her fun personality and attention to detail made for a rewarding experience all the way around-- we couldn't be happier!"
- Brittany Murray"My experience with Wendy was great from beginning to end. Not only did she help me find my perfect townhouse in a competitive market, but she did a fantastic job at selling my condo faster than I ever thought possible. She was very patient and listened to all of my preferences and concerns and provided per own expertise to help guide me to make better decisions. Her knowledge of the industry was critical in making my dream home wish come true."
- Andrea S."Tracy is a wonderful realtor and we highly recommend her! She sold our house and found us our new home. She is very knowledgeable about the area and super patient/kind. We were very happy with the whole experience and would definitely work with her again!"
- Gretchen and Steve"We worked with Tracy to sell our home this Spring and we highly recommend her. She is a true professional - patient, enthusiastic, and detail-oriented.

- Tanya and Rich"Tracy was amazing! She made the process of selling our house virtually painless. Her positive, sunny attitude was such an encouragement during the stressful time. Her knowledge of the local market is unsurpassed. She is focused, organized and incredibly responsive. She understood what was important to us and she endorsed it with all of her actions. I would recommend her to anyone looking in the Alexandria area."
- Val and Greg"Tracy was a delight to work with in the purchase of what is turning out to be the best home we've ever owned. Tracy is extremely knowledgeable about the community, neighborhood and schools. A very warm and engaging personality, she will always be our go-to real estate professional for future sales/purchases and recommendations!"
- Mary Jo and Bill"My husband and I had a great experience with Tracy! She knows the neighborhoods well and helped direct us to the perfect home. Tracy is incredibly kind and helpful, making the home purchase experience fun. Highly recommended!"
- Anonymous"Tracy was a fantastic help in selling my aunts home. She helped us get her home(in unfortunate conditions) to seller perfect and SOLD quickly! We've also bought a house with Tracy Dunn in a coveted neighborhood and our experience in buying went seemlessly with an amazing home warranty worked Into our co tract which saved us THOUSANDS of dollars in our first year of homeownership in Virginia. Buying and selling with Tracy Dunn is equally amazing!"
- Kristen and Scott"Tracy's persistence helped us sell our home and find a home in a very high-demand neighborhood in a short-period of time. She even went knocking on doors to see if anyone would be interested in selling their home. Luckily she knocked on the right door and before we knew it we were in our new home in a matter of a few weeks and just in a nick of time! We sold our house and move right in within two days of the sale. Thank you Tracy for being such a wonderful realtor!"
- Stephanie and Eric"Tracy helped us buy a house and she did a great job! She spends a lot of time on the details and iwas always available by phone to answer any questions that came up. Tracy is very personable and is very knowledgeable about our area. I enjoyed working with her!"
- Laura and Kevin"Tracy helped us find our most recent home. She understood our wants and needs, and even went above and beyond to introduce us to neighbors. She is such a positive person, and I couldn't have asked for a better and more knowledgeable realtor. It certainly helps that she grew up here and knows this area so well. We weren't the easiest clients, and, looking back, she truly was a trooper to put up with our many requests. I consider Tracy a friend now, and our forever realtor!"
- Stella and Brendan"We will never consider another realtor as long as we are in the DMV area. Kate is knowledgeable about the different neighborhoods, and she pointed out things we would have never considered as first-time homebuyers. From the beginning with identifying properties, to going through the home inspection and financing processes, to now when she still checks in on us, she has exceeded our expectations."
- Ivy & Mark"Kate represented us as both buyers and then sellers of our house in Northeast DC. There were a number of challenges that arose in both the buying and selling processes and Kate guided us steadily through with great expertise and poise. Not only did Kate demonstrate a great depth of knowledge in the market, her formidable negotiation skills achieved outcomes that were above and beyond our expectations. She even managed the process of having our property on HGTV's House Hunters!"
- Eliza & Chris"When I decided to sell my house, I didn't know how much work it would take. Luckily, I engaged Lisa Groover as my agent, and that made all the difference. She knows how to stage a house, where to get items for me to "borrow," how to pace the work load, and was even eager to lend a hand. She kept me informed daily. She was unfailingly encouraging, and it made all the difference. The house sold in less than two weeks for the targeted price we had discussed, and she helped me plan the closing, knowing I would be out of town. I can't say enough about her knowledge and helpfulness. It has truly been a pleasure working with Lisa."
- Ann S. - Old Town Village - Patrick Model"Without a doubt, Lisa Groover earned an A+ handling the sale of our home in Old Town Village! We loved her enthusiasm, marketing creativity and willingness to help prepare our house to sell. She was accessible and responsive, and gave great advice, while respecting our ideas and needs. Her knowledge of the real estate market, especially in the Old Town area, and networking expertise made the selling process a positive experience. Many thanks, Lisa!"
- Wendy & Chuck G. - Old Town Village - Fayette Model"When the Weirs were asked how they selected their agent the response was - Lisa Groover has done a great job of marketing herself within Old Town Village, we liked her style and approach. And concerning the level of service? Lisa was terrific! She provided valuable guidance and support throughout our preparatory process and was tirelessly cheerful, responsive and enthusiastic throughout the time our house was on the market."
- Kim and Bobby W. - Old Town Village - Fayette Model"We found ourselves in the position of wanting to sell our house quickly, and knew that we had to do some painting, repairing, and rearranging prior to listing our house. Lisa took what I considered not possible and made it possible. Mike and I often worked long hours, and she met with the repairmen, painter, and the "floor guy" to get estimates and oversee the work. When Mike was suddenly called into a meeting and would not be able to meet the refrigerator delivery crew, he called Lisa. She dropped everything and left a luncheon to go over to the house, empty our refrigerator, and oversee the delivery. Lisa helped us have our house ready for market in record time, and was always there when we needed her"
- Karen and Mike R. - Old Town Village - Gibbon Model"After nineteen years, we decided to sell our home in Old Town Village, Alexandria and move to a Condo. That the move went so smoothly with no problem was because of Lisa Groover, our McEnearney realtor. Lisa diligently, and in a most professional manner, walked with us through all the steps of purchasing our new home and then selling our old one. She displayed great patience at all times answering, probably over and over, all our questions with the greatest aplomb making us feel as if we were her only concern. Noteworthy was Lisa's determination to ensure we were always aware of exactly where we were in the process and of what we should expect next. She continuously updated us on what had been accomplished and what was yet to be done. And, Lisa was always available to answer questions, provide advice and status. Lisa was for us the epitome of what one hopes a realtor is. It was a flawless process and pleasant because of Lisa."
- Bob and Priscilla H. - Old Town Village - Patrick Model and Porto Vecchio Condominiums"Mary was outstanding to work with. From beginning to end, she was patient and made the home selling process incredibly simple which was huge for first-time sellers as my wife and I were. Mary was particularly astute when it came to preparing and staging our home to get the most attention and attract solid offers almost immediately after the listing hit the market. I recommend her as a valuable partner for buying or selling in the competitive Northern Virginia market."
- Sean Yarborough, Leesburg, VA"Mary expertly guided us through the sale of our home. She prompted us to get the house listed at the perfect time in the market. All of her staging tips were spot-on for getting the house ready for showing. To our surprise and delight, we got an offer the very first day the house was listed! Mary helped us navigate the contract process and all of the inspections. From the beginning to closing, she made the process simple and seamless. Mary is a consummate professional and is absolutely wonderful to work with. Thank you, Mary!"
- Diana and Scott Waterman, 2 Sales in Leesburg, VA (and 2 Purchases in Leesburg, VA)"Jillian helped us to buy the perfect home for our family and we could not be happier about working with her! She is a true professional who knows the market and works hard to help you find exactly what you want. Her communication is excellent, she has many connections in the industry, and we were confident in her guidance when submitting an offer in a hot market. We cannot say enough about Jillian - overall, buying this home with her was a very positive experience! We highly recommend her if you're looking for a realtor."
- Karen & Sean Kelly"We have used Malin Luca for several years as our agent for our rental property in Arlington. He has a wealth of knowledge, is very detailed orientated, very good at looking after the little things, and very willing to to go above and beyond. Additionally, he has offered us wonderful advice and his recommendations have always been spot on. Extremely responsive and always willing to answer our questions and concerns. Bottom line -- we feel we are in good hands and well looked after. Thank you Malin!"
- James Hopkins"Wow! Such a great experience we had working with Mary Roberge on the sale of our home in Leesburg, VA. From our first consult with Mary where she detailed the present real estate market conditions, detailed thoughts on our home, and what comparable homes were out there, to our settlement day, Mary was on top of everything! Our decision to sell was a quick one and happened just a couple of weeks before our long time planned 2 week vacation abroad. Mary quickly showed up after our initial call to discuss our home, it's condition and marketability, and walked through each room detailing things that may help market the house. She was not just focused on pricing, it was all of the other things to help stage and prepare the house to go to market to bring us the best possible offers. After walking through each room and giving us recommendations, she also provided us a check list of recommended things we could do to help with the sale. This was all a huge help to have that guidance based on her many years in the real estate business. As previously mentioned, we had just two weeks from our first meeting to our target date to list the house as we were leaving for vacation. No problem for Mary. She jumped right in with a list of contractors who could help in any and all of the areas we needed assistance completing or simply just having a licensed professional doing the work. Indeed the close relationships she has developed with these businesses helped us tremendously as Mary called them to grease the skids given our short timeline to have them come out on such short notice to help. Each of the contractors and businesses she referred to us were great to work with including plumbers, electricians, painters, movers, power washers, etc. Finally, our prep and staging work was completed and the sign went in our yard the Friday night before leaving for vacation the next day. Long story short, all of the prep and advice paid off. We had an excellent offer on our home in just 3 short days. Since we were out of the country at the time, Mary stayed on top everything as things were moving quickly. She communicated with us via calls, texts, and email. The purchasers wanted a quick turnaround and asked to have all inspections completed in short order (home, well, water quality, pool, pest, septic) and wanted to settle in just three weeks time from offer. While we were very happy with the offer occurring so quickly, it made us very nervous that we still had 1.5 weeks of vacation left and would not be at home to facilitate all of the inspections and to pack up a 5500 square foot home with 17 years of accumulated "things." No problem for Mary. She assured us we could get this done and she jumped right in to help with the buyers and getting all the inspections completed and providing us status on which was occurring and when, as well as the results. Meanwhile, she put us on to her contact at a local moving company who we could tee up to help with packing and moving our household items upon our return. In the end, everything worked out perfectly for us and we know we were very fortunate. Indeed there may have been some good fortune involved, but certainly, we had the good fortune of working with Mary who greatly advised, coordinated, and reassured us throughout the process. Settlement occurred without issue and was quick and painless (again due to using Mary's recommended settlement agent). We could not be happier. Thank you very much Mary!!!"
- Tom and Liz Barry , Leesburg, VA"Colleen is really knowledgeable about Old Town, she knows the right people to go to with questions about land surveys and construction projects and volunteered her time on several occasions to help research issues for us at City Hall. She's really diligent and thorough and the right amount of persistent. She is also really knowledgeable about the local real estate market and how to make a competitive offer. We really value her opinions. I will recommend her to all of my acquaintances and friends!"
- Steve R."Best agent I've ever had the pleasure to work with."
- Frank G."Lynn provided exceptional service, not in just helping us find and purchase our home, but also all of the incidental aspects of buying a home. She continues to provide advice and support in dealing with contractors and home services."
- William George Grigos"Excellent service."
- Ejarat"I can't say enough good things about my experience working with Bob on my recent condo purchase. I was stationed on the West Coast and getting ready for an overseas deployment when I found out that I would be transferred to the Washington DC area after just a few months on deployment. I reached out to Bob on the recommendation of a close friend and Bob delivered! My schedule prevented me from visiting the DC Metro Area but Bob gave me the knowledge, insight, and confidence to buy a condo sight unseen. Because of his talent and effort, I was able to move into my own residence immediately after arriving at my new assignment! Bob expertly used pictures and videos to show me potential properties. He was generous with his time and provided me the opportunity to "visit" several properties in real time with him via FaceTime. Once I had selected a property that I liked enough to consider making an offer Bob worked with me to allow one of my close friends to meet him at the property for me to get a second set of eyes on the property in the form of a long time friend. I was grateful for the opportunity to have a close friend see the property and it was especially reassuring when my friend telephoned to tell me how knowledgeable Bob had become on the condominium property and nearby neighborhood. While I was preparing to make an offer Bob did the detailed research for me...he read more than 500 pages of condo association resale package materials and helped me understand items of interest, he provided a list of utility providers, and helped me determine the parking, public transportation, and storage options at the residence. All those little details made my transition so much easier! He even mapped out a timeline for me to ensure a seamless transfer of utilities and other condo specific requirements. Bob went above and beyond when he noted the age of the smoke detectors and recommended the appropriate replacement options to ensure my safety immediately upon occupancy. He closed out the transaction by offering me a Military Rebate at settlement and packaged up all the transaction documents into a single PDF for my review while I was overseas. In summary, Bob was my most trusted agent throughout this entire process. He was knowledgeable, effective, and responsive to my individual needs. Bob will be my first choice for any future realtor needs I may have!"
- Brian Blaschke"Lauren is definitely the REALTOR you want during PCS season. She's been so awesome during the entire process and quickly helped us snag a rental that fits my family perfectly. Bonus — she's funny! DOUBLE BONUS — SHE INTRODUCED US TO WEGMANS! But seriously, Lauren is THE realtor you want to snag if you're moving in or out of the D.C. area!"
- C.D."Jillian helped us navigate the fast-paced, ever-changing market, and our ever-changing minds. She was familiar with the area and implemented knowledge of an experienced realtor. Due to her strong negotiation skills, we secured a house for better price than we expected. Jillian's organizational skills and flexibility were astounding! Without a hitch, she promptly and accurately answered our questions via text, email, and phone calls. We're a multi-generational family of four adults and felt like her only clients; although we knew she was busy during peak sales season. Kristina joined the Jillian Keck Hogan Real Estate Group during our three-month house-hunting process. Her perky personality eased the stress of finding the right house for our two-family needs. She also was supportive in researching reliable referrals for our home projects. Working with Jillian and Kristina was highly successful and fun!"
- Kat, Chris, Judy, & Bob"As first-time home buyers, my wife and I had no idea what the home-buying process entailed. Jillian was not only patient and willing to guide us through the process, she also provided us with a wealth of knowledge along the way. From open houses and negotiations to final closing, Jillian was always on top of things. She is organized and professional, and made the entire process as painless (and fun) as possible. A month into our new home, we are so thankful for her guidance and, even more, a new friendship."
- M. S."Jillian was an all over expert to work with for selling my condo. Her enthusiasm, knowledge, follow-up, professionalism and energy make her great to work with. My condo sale was so small, relative to Old Town houses, but she kept me front of mind throughout the process. She also listened closely to my wish list and the outcome was great. I also loved the glossy, professionally photographed sheet that showed my condo's best points and also her social media savy. Thank you Jillian!"
- Delanne B."Jamie has been wonderful. I've worked with him for 5 years, most of the time remotely from overseas. We undertook a construction project to make the home ready for sale from overseas. [Jamie] selected a superb contractor and oversaw the project in our absence. No one I would entrust more with our homes."
- Demitra Pappas - Seller"Nicole supported me throughout the selling process and was always there to handle whatever came up. I have referred her to a friend who is planning to sell her house. On a scale of 1-10, Nicole is a 100!"
- Valerie Cardwell"Mason helped me find the perfect place for my parents when I was looking to move them from their big home to an condo that would meet their needs and be easier for them manage and still live independently. Mason took great care in thinking about the needs of the whole family, my parents and myself. She was able to focus our efforts to efficiently find the best location. She handled the whole process with grace and professionalism. We highly recommend Mason. She has wonderful knowledge of the area."
- Q Byrnes"I met Mary Beth at an open house in DC while I was still living in Boston. Instantly, I fell in love with her. The next time I was in town after that, Mary Beth graciously took me to several different condos throughout the area, even on the tight timeline that I had. She made the process extremely easy and seamless during a time that I was finishing graduate school and working full time out of state. She even set aside time to take family and friends through on a weekend after we had a contingent contract....She had everything so well put together and made this the easiest process I've ever done during an extremely stressful time of my life. I will definitely be using her when I sell and buy my next home!"
- Scott K."I just wanted to thank Kaaren again for all that she did for us in the purchase our home. We couldn't have been happier with her communication, her responsiveness, her professionalism with dealing with sometimes difficult circumstances and how she set very realistic expectations of the process. She handled all the details and provided wonderful recommendations for inspections and future repairs. It was clear that she sincerely wanted to do everything that she could to make sure we ended up with a happy outcome in the purchase of our home. She will be the first person we will call should we ever have a need for a realtor again."
- Wendy Bush"If you want just a realtor at a competitive rate from a large agency, don't hire Jerry Thatcher! But if you want a true friend who will look out for you in all aspects and will also sell your home for the best price in the market at shortest possible time, you will not find anyone better than Jerry in NoVA. Trust me, I have bought and sold three large houses in NoVA and have used a variety of agents. Jerry will engage with you in a holistic process which includes understanding you, your family and your home. When I engaged Jerry, I was a bit constrained for time - I had left the country and had to sell the house quickly. She came into my life like an angel and took care of everything while I was out of the country. She went way beyond her duty as a realtor and I now consider her "our friend"! I would recommend Jerry to anyone who asks!"
- Sax Krishna"I am not going to write 'goodbye'; only a huge and grateful thank you for being at my side every step of the way with the sale of my home. You have given me tremendous support and encouragement. I could not have done it without you."
- AB"Susan Minnick has been our go to realtor for 10 years and she has been fantastic! In the last 10 years she has helped my wife and I find a very suitable condo when we just had two cats, a townhouse when we wanted to start a family and now a single-family home when we wanted more space to raise two kids, a dog and those two cats. Susan was extremely attentive to our needs and our wants - helping us to find a condo based on our criteria after just two showings. The process was easy, quick and Susan has a wealth of knowledge related to home interiors, exteriors and other potentially impactful information related to your next home's location, landscape and surrounding areas. When we were looking for our townhouse, Susan provided us with many options based on our criteria. We viewed many townhomes which helped my wife and me (and Susan) develop a better understanding of what we really wanted and needed. Susan is very honest and forthcoming - she will save you time and money. Even if you really want to look at or put an offer on a home, but she sees there are real risks that could put you in over your head, Susan will be honest with you to make sure you will be taken care of in the end. Selling our townhouse and buying a single-family home with Susan was an exceptional experience! She gave us great, relevant input that helped us to prepare our home for sale. Her scheduling and communication throughout was exceptional, including assistance staging with our current furniture - the listing photos were amazing! The entire process was really well done and (in addition to a very hot market) our competitive price point enabled us to receive 40 confirmed showings in three days and have approximately 120+ people come through for the open house resulting in 10 offers and a quick close on terms that were exceptionally beneficial to us (specifically our desire to close fast and rent back for an extended duration). The purchase of our single-family home included many of the same aspects that our previous experiences with Susan entailed and ended with the same amount of great satisfaction. We saw many homes (~25) over a month or so and when we found our dream home, Susan helped us craft a perfect offer that went through multiple iterations based on my input that she was more than receptive to listen to even after the verbal deadline for submission. A late push and constant communication allowed us to submit a winning offer! We fully recommend Susan Minnick to help anyone looking for a resourceful, honest, no nonsense realtor that will get you the house that you want and deserve."
- Baker"We worked with Wendy Santantonio in the summer of 2018 to sell our home, and we couldn't have picked a better realtor. This is not the first time we have relied on Wendy to sell/buy a property and she once again has demonstrated (not surprisingly) she is a five-star real estate agent. Wendy is friendly, very detailed-oriented, and organized. She communicated with us regularly and provided us prompt updates throughout the process. Wendy went above and beyond by providing cost-saving hands-on support in renovation, photography, staging and marketing our property. She has boundless knowledge of all matters real estate and made expert, critical suggestions (which we put into action). The outcome of her tremendous effort was that our house sold instantly and above asking price. In sum, Wendy is the consummate professional and any home buyer or seller who partners with her would be partnering with the best in the business."
- Zewdi S. & Alex M."It was a great pleasure to work with Wendy. In as much as it has been the better part of 20 years since we were involved in a residential transaction, we were more than a little out-of-date and out-of-touch with the process. Wendy did an exceptional job of bringing us up-to-date with the current situation and with the right touch of firmness and necessity of the process. We can't thank her enough for her attention to detail, love and understanding of her clients and the process. It was a tremendous success beyond our wildest dreams. Thank you!"
- Donald & Annabel F."Excellent. Jean was patient and accommodating - we needed to see a lot of houses in a short period of time. She was extremely responsive and helped us get a great house in a competitive market at a price less than asking. Would definitely recommend her to others and have done so already."
- Jill L."Linda is an exceptional realtor. She consistently went the second mile to help us make our home attractive and sell it quickly. We are very appreciative. Thanks!"
- S.S."We were fortunate to have Ann as our realtor! She knew exactly how we should prepare our house for a quick sale at the price we wanted. She devoted a great deal of time and was always available by phone or online to answer all of our questions and making sure the process went smoothly. I highly recommend Ann!"
- Jim & Yoly Heintze (Buyers/Sellers - MD)"When we decided to take the leap & move to Myrtle Beach, SC we knew we would need a realtor that would hold our hands, listen to us, and ensure that our home would show nicely & sell quickly! We interviewed several realtors to make sure we were comfortable - we found that with Ann McClure. Not only was she super prepared with information at our first meeting, she explained everything clearly. Honestly, we thought we would be only hiring a realtor to help us - what we didn't expect was to build a friendship with someone who listened & educated us. Now, I think we've all heard the horror stories of renovating a house - our story doesn't even come close to that - it was more like a freak show! Ann & her team listened when I would call each time with another "freak happening" - to the final time calming me down & listened to me cry when we found another spot of dry rot the day before we were going to put our house on the market. The other thing Ann & her team did was educate us. We didn't know what to expect with the sale of our house - but she made sure that we made all the right decisions from prepping the house for sale to even working with the buyer's home inspector. Each step was a lesson, but it helped us get ourselves prepped for our eventual move. Those lessons will be with us forever! All my husband & I can say is that Ann and her team made sure that our house was ready for market and we would get what we asked for it. Not only was it ready - we had our 1st showing within an hour of it going on the market - we had multiple offers AND we got over asking price (oh, did I say that our house was under contract in less than 5 days!?!) Whatever your next move local or long distance - don't walk, RUN! - pick up your phone & call Ann McClure!!"
- Kathy Strauss (Sellers-VA)"My wife and I have moved across the country four times in the past 13 years and by far Ann McClure is the best Realtor we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Ann has helped us both purchase and sell a home, and has been there for us as a friend and mentor to guide us through the process and provide her candid advice when we asked. She is a true professional and absolutely knows the business top to bottom. I routinely recommend Ann to anyone who will listen and more often than not, have to say "I told you so" when they go with someone else and things don't go as smoothly as they should. We can't say enough about Ann and her team and truly appreciate all their hard work that enabled us to find a home that fit us and to sell our home when it was time to move again."
- Chad Parks (Buyer/Seller - VA)"Ann is truly amazing and nothing short of a ROCKSTAR! To top it off, she's incredibly fun to work with. As first time sellers, my husband and I were a little nervous and anxious to put our first home on the market. We had no idea what to expect in regards to the whole process, but we quickly felt at ease just a few minutes into our first meeting with Ann. She's very knowledgeable and insanely proactive. Needless to say, we are so very happy that our good friends referred us to her. Whether you are a first time seller/buyer, or an experienced seller/buyer, we would absolutely recommend Ann and her team 1000 times."
- Felicia Bush (Sellers - VA)"With the stresses of finding a new home in a new city during a company relocation, our agent, Jerry Thatcher, was very hands on. She was our eyes and ears when we couldn't be in town, and her knowledge and expertise put us at ease with the transition. We are truly grateful for all of her help."
- The Jones Family"Katie, while meeting her work schedule and family's demands, still found time to come to my home to share coffee and explain the steps in getting a home ready for sale. Any question I had was quickly answered from her own knowledge or through her research. Katie proved to be a valued asset in meeting the many steps necessary to get a house to market. One of her first steps was putting me in contact with a trusted contractor, who gave my house the needed look for a welcoming curb appeal. Next step was the downsizing, followed by the house inspection, repairs, the house staging, open house and taking contracts for purchase. These steps and more got me a fair price for my house. During this process I had to have a knee replacement and therapy. And while I had moved out of the house during the last six weeks before closing, Katie handled the scheduling and appointments for the workers, preparing the house for sale."
- Wilson McCarthy, Vienna VA"We were fortunate to meet Katie Stowe when work required a major move for our family into the Washington, D.C. area. Finding a new home was our first priority. And finding an honest, hard-working realtor was a task in itself. But honest and hard-working describes Katie perfectly. Katie made sure she understood exactly what we needed and wanted in a home. She stayed in close contact by e-mail and phone on a daily basis. She did her research and we were not disappointed. When she found us the home we knew would be perfect for us Katie made sure our offer was stronger than three other offers made on that home the same day. And after the offer was accepted, she made sure every detail stayed on track through closing. We could not have asked for a more caring, professional realtor than Katie Stowe. If we find ourselves needing a realtor in the future, she will be the person we call."
- Mike and Irene Minney, Lovettsville VA"I've enlisted Patty as my real estate agent for 3 home transactions over the past 4 years in MD and DC, and can say unequivocally that Patty is the best in the business. Among other things, Patty is an exceptional listener who doesn't try to push choices on her clients, but instead seeks out a range of options based on their preferences. She's proactive and looks out for her client's best interests. She's trustworthy, transparent, and honest -- always willing to provide a straightforward assessment. She's patient, considerate, and thoughtful. Above all, she's genuine and sincere, which makes working with her a gift. I have recommended her to friends, colleagues, and neighbors, and will continue to do so without hesitation."
- Brett"Betsy is professional, down to earth, and extremely knowledgeable. She is a pleasure to work with! Betsy is very attentive and just all-around so helpful, with all matters, big and small. She was on point with her guidance and recommendations. She took the time to walk us through each step of the entire selling process and just offers such great service. I would recommend Betsy and her team to anyone in the market, looking to buy or sell a property!"
- Jenny"Betsy and her team truly went above and beyond to help us find our home. She has extremely deep knowledge of the area and provided outstanding advice. We trust her completely and recommend her wholeheartedly."
- Rachel and Jordan Katz"Betsy Twigg provided exceptional service in the sale of a rental house I had owned for almost 40 years. The house was solid and well maintained; however, none of the three bathrooms nor the kitchen had been updated in decades. Further, the property was on Carlin Springs Road, a busy and noisy thoroughfare. Some of the houses across the street were in derelict condition. Betsy did a first-class job of helping me stage the house, bringing in her own stager to rearrange the furniture I had brought in. She also added a few finishing pieces of her own. Much to my surprise, her ad for the house was titled "Adorable and Affordable." After looking at the pictures in the ad and at the house itself, I was even more astonished to find that she was right. She had made the house "adorable." There were two offers within a week. A third offer, which I accepted, came in the third week. We went to settlement a month later. The staging of the house, the advertising, the open house for agents and for the public, her responsiveness during each step of the process - everything she did was a class act."
- Doreen Bierbrier"Betsy Twigg is the person you want on your side if you are selling your house. She has seen it all. She is unflappable. My husband and I knew we had a lot of work to do to get our Arlington home ready for sale earlier this year. We'd been there 30 years, and it was well loved and lived in. She helped us focus on the most cost-effective solutions to get the house ready to sell. She also offered great advice about how to manage our time -- hire painters and focus on staging - because we were both still working full time. The services she offers really helped our house shine -- staging and photography especially. She also recommended a real estate agent in the city we were moving to, some 600 miles away. Betsy provided the most thoughtful and comprehensive response of the five agents we interviewed. As we moved closer to the day the house went on the market, again and again she demonstrated that we made the right choice."
- Beth Marchak and Steve Hart"Betsy was wonderful to work with! She is very knowledgeable about the area and the prospective buyers of our home. This is the first house that I have sold, and she helped with every little detail. It was a pleasure to work with her. I highly recommend her to anyone thinking of selling their home in Arlington."
- Karen Seymour"We loved Betsy, she was great! We sold our home this past year and started working with her many months in advance to understand what we needed to do in preparation for the sale. She gave us good and honest feedback and was real straight-forward when discussing our sale. She provided good guidance, was always available to answer questions, and really helped us be comfortable with every part of the transaction. She was always thoughtful and measured in helping us make decisions. Plus, we can't tell you how many people would see our sign and say "Oh, you are working with Betsy! She's the best!" We could not have agreed more!"
- Gillyn and Alex Croog"Betsy was wonderful to work with in selling our home. She has such a wealth of experience and her fingers on the pulse of the market that it made our selling process much easier. Selling a long-time home can be very stressful (as well as emotional), and Betsy's calm demeanor and confident attitude helped us relax and focus on the tasks we needed to get done. She took care of many arrangements for us and had great ideas for improvements and knew who to call for repairs. We love Betsy sand highly recommend her."
- Michelle and Brent Horsley"Betsy Twigg is by far the very best realtor we have ever worked with. Not only is she very knowledgeable of the Arlington, VA, market, but her knowledge of real estate is impeccable. We have been buying and selling homes for 40 years. We live out of state so when we decided to sell our Arlington, VA, townhouse we thought it was going to be a difficult process. Betsy made it so easy. She took care of everything including finding and hiring contractors to make the townhouse look like new. Working with Betsy Twigg was the absolute best decision we made when it was time to sell our old house and buy a new one. Betsy has a professional rolodex that is unimaginable - anything that you need to have done, she has someone who can do the work quickly and inexpensively. Every contractor we brought in sang her praise - which makes sense, because she is so great to work with. Betsy looks out for the best interest of her clients throughout the entire process and beyond. Our buying process was a complicated one, and Betsy was there every step of the way, guiding and supporting us - we truly could not have done it without her. She knows the market and was able to get us a great rate on our new house and top dollar on our old house. If you are buying or selling a home in Northern Virginia, the best decision you will make is to use Betsy Twigg as your agent."
- Pam Feasel and Luis Sirotsky"What can I say about Wendy? A lot, actually. The first is THANK YOU for everything!! Thank you for your professionalism, your attention to detail, your organizational skills and your commitment to making the sales process as seamless and trouble free as possible. The second is THANK YOU for your compassion during a difficult time and for going beyond the call of duty to help our family handle unexpected situations when we couldn't be there to deal with them. Located out of state, I was the executor of an estate with real property located in the historic district of Old Town, and was a bit concerned about not only not knowing the nuances of selling a unique historic property in that market, but also at the thought of managing the various aspects involved in preparing the property to go on the market (clearing of the estate items in the property, repairs and cleaning, preparing the house to show, etc.). Wendy put together a solid plan along with a time table and task list that covered everything from A-Z, including the removal of personal items, repairs, cleaning, staging, and both pre- and post-sale activities. She arranged for and supplied bids for all work, and stayed in constant communication with me to make sure I was well informed throughout the process. Wendy is very budget conscious and showed great judgement to make sure we did not waste money doing things that would not help sell the property. All of the contractors she recommended were easy to work with and did high quality work at a fair price. She has very high standards and once the work began, she was on site to ensure that it was done properly and to our expectations, and to handle any unexpected problems that arose. For anyone considering using Wendy Santantonio for their real estate needs, you can't go wrong! While I have not been involved in a large number of sales, I have been involved in many and I have never worked with a more thorough and consummate professional than Wendy."
- Jerry G."Santiago was recommended to us by friends and we were very pleased with our experience. He is very knowledgeable of the area and patiently helped us find our perfect place even while we debated renting vs buying. He was always available to us...and helped take the stress out of the process. We will certainly seek out his services again."
- Emily (Source)"Lauren checked in with us on a regular basis, keeping us on track with our schedule, providing a good range of choices, very professionally facilitating appointments and interactions with other agents, handling paperwork, payments, and communications. Since we were overseas during most of the our housing search, her experience and ability to act on our behalf was invaluable. Lauren went above and beyond, we felt, by going to pick up the keys and do an initial walk-through with the leasing agent on our behalf since we were still overseas at the beginning of the lease. She diligently represented our interests by doing a thorough review of the property and taking photos to share with us and the leasing agent, pointing out items that needed to be addressed prior to our arrival. She expertly advised us on issues that we might not have noticed or been aware of, such as clauses that are typical or atypical in lease, and advocated for us to get the right language included in our lease agreement. Lauren is knowledgeable, responsible, responsive, conscientious and we would not hesitate to recommend her services."
- L.C."Jean was excellent. She was easy to communicate with before we arrived in DC and after for a smooth transaction. She also introduced us to her daughter-in-law who lives in the area we are moving to and was a great source of information for us!"
- Aaron H."Laura helped us buy a house in what was an intense, fast-paced market in Arlington. We were living out of town and purchased sight unseen. Luckily we had Laura as our eyes and ears on the ground. She coached us through the process and ensured that we got the house we wanted without paying more than current market value. I can't recommend her enough! She knows the market well and helped us get the house we wanted within our budget (despite competing against multiple offers)"
- Dan B."I had sold my condo with Bob, and was looking to purchase a larger one a few months later. I didn't realize what a different perspective it would be, and Bob was instrumental throughout the process. It took a long time, and Bob was very patient. We looked at several properties the first couple of months, and I discovered I really didn't know what I wanted. Bob took each viewing personally, reminding me if a condo was "just ok" or too small or overpriced. You almost had the feeling he was purchasing the property for himself! His perspective helped me tailor my "must have" requirements. From that point forward I had confidence in when to make offers. Even then, when the price was too high given the neighborhood and comparables, Bob would step in and give a recommendation to not offer asking price. Our offer and desired location were finally accepted, and Bob's value as an agent was just getting started. Bob worked with the condo association to access documents, and went back and forth when items were missing. He read every document, and pointed out the health of the HOA based on his time as a condo board president. He also noted owner action items that would be needed once we finished closing. When a closing date was decided, Bob went to task on suggesting lenders. He obtained quotes from 8 lenders; one of them was the clear winner, saving thousands of dollars over the life of the loan. I admit I would not have been as thorough. A friend of mine was also closing and was floored at how much better the rate was than his own research. Thanks to Bob we both got a great deal. During closing, Bob managed all the documents and provided a digital copy for easy record keeping. He also provided unexpected care packages for me, helping me make a smooth transition into the home. He provided a fire extinguisher(his standard gift apparently), made copies of keys that were missing, replaced burned out LED lights in the kitchen, and provided new flapper valves for each bathroom toilet. He must have seen the need for those at inspection and was just waiting for the property to turn over before acting on them. That's just the kind of person he is; he really wants to make sure you're satisfied with your new home, and that he's provided great service to get you there. I highly recommend Bob Johnson."
- Akshay Pandit"Our experience with JaneEllen Saums and Joan Bready, our second time using this indefatigable team, remains unparalleled. We have, we reckon, bought and sold some 14 house and would like to think we've learned a thing or two. One thing we've learned for certain: whether buying or selling, you absolutely need a real estate agent. I cannot tell you the number of times even a small bit of information or insight has saved us substantially. We've bought and sold in many jurisdictions: the laws and the protocols in each one differ greatly. It saves time and money simply to have an expert guide. In terms of searching for the perfect new home, we found JaneEllen and Joan to be remarkably resilient (we are peripatetic in searches and will describe one ideal space and then immediately smitten by something altogether different in every way). The teammates give judicious counsel, invariably show us options we'd never thought of, negotiate with real skill, and handle the minutiae of closings and the attendant paperwork effortlessly. We may not move in the near future, but we know that should the mood ever strike us to sell and buy, we can count on JaneEllen and Joan to be there for us (as they did in this latest transaction: the clock was ticking, competition from other buyers was fierce and we were really smitten by the house). Whether you're an experienced home buyer, seller or someone for whom the entire process is new and daunting, you'd be wise to give JaneEllen and Joan a call. They have our complete trust and our everlasting thanks!"
- Peter Beck and Ken Bertsch"It was an absolute pleasure working with Ross through my home purchasing process. Ross is extremely knowledgeable of the housing market and the nuances of completing the home purchase process. Ross made the process of buying a new home very easy and seamless. I would highly recommend him to other home buyers!"
- Ruddy G."Several real estate agents reached out to us, but our choice could not have fallen more naturally than on Ross, given his unmatched human qualities. He exhibited great values, including notably integrity, kindness, and an ability to connect with our feelings and needs, tainted with a great sense of humor, which spoke louder to us, not to mention his cutting-edge expertise in the real estate market. Ross walked us candidly through the whole process, showing high planning, flexibility and reactivity qualities, which at a very competitive juncture, proved critical in securing our lovely first home. We strongly recommend our new friend - yes, we now proudly call Ross a friend, not a simple home purchase intermediary."
- Ren T and Olivia K."Phil was awesome - patient, helpful and offered the perspective we needed to find the right home for us and close the deal. It was a process - one which asked a lot of Phil. He did all that and smiled and kept his sense of humor doing it."
- Adam Eig"We are so happy that we chose Ann McClure Realtor from McEnearney Associates Realtors. My husband and I decided to sell our home after forty-eight years and move to a new senior level apartment. This was a major decision and challenge in downsizing our two-level ranch home. From our first interview with Ann, we knew that we had made the right choice. Ann walked us through all the steps of preparing our home to go on the competitive housing market. She gave personal care throughout the entire process of getting the house ready, putting it on the market and finally, settlement. We were informed with updates by email, phone calls, texts and home visits. In addition, Ann has a great team for staging, renovation contractor, marketing person and photographer for showing the house on the internet. The pictures, slide show and floor plan were outstanding. We were very pleased with the work done by her team to make our house ready for sale. The house went on the market in mid-July with Open House and was under contract in six days. Ann and team made the house sale a reality for us. We highly recommend Ann McClure as your Realtor."
- Carmen & Don Jackson (Sellers - MD)"Ann McClure was terrific! I was trying to complete an out-of-state sale that involved, cleaning out a house, making renovations before sale and selling contents of the house. She had the resources to project manage all the tasks that needed to get done. This allowed me to save time and travel expenses. Ann made a very difficult situation of having to move mom out of state under stressful circumstances much more manageable for my family. She was more than just a real estate agent during the process....project manager, friend and advisor. She was our guiding light and go to person for any resources we needed while trying to manage the process from out of state. I highly recommend Ann."
- Robert Brai (Seller - VA)"Miriam epitomizes all the qualities of a great realtor. From beginning to finish, Miriam was with us every step of the way, carefully guiding us through the labyrinth of requirements we were completely unaware of. Miriam was attentive, meticulous, and always looked out for our best interest. Miriam's superb knowledge of the realty industry, exceptional people skills, and effective communicating ability, is why we are very pleased we made the right choice in selecting her as our realtor. Accordingly, we are recommending Miriam to our closest friends and family. Pure class!"
- Daniel and Gloria A."We were lucky enough to have Wendy not only as our realtor, but also our neighbor. When we found out that our next set of orders from the Navy were taking us back to the West Coast, Wendy was the obvious choice to help us get our Old Town townhouse on the market. From project management and pricing to design consultations and photography, Wendy's advice, attention to detail and hands-on management style were invaluable. She is one of the most organized people I've ever met - and her knowledge of the area, the industry and of how to market and sell a home helped us go from listed to multiple offers in one weekend. Over and over Wendy went above and beyond for us, recommending and managing contractors and personally attending to all the small details at our home, often when we were away from it. If you're looking for someone you can trust to do what's right for YOU, look no farther than Wendy."
- Brandi & Brian H."ABOVE AND BEYOND service from Madeline! She was always reachable and reliably provided fabulous and trustworthy advice. Madeline was an advocate for me, not just as an agent making a sale, but as a surrogate mother who was looking out for my bottom line. She got me everything I wanted and more!"
- Jennifer W."Madeline was absolutely great, We received very personalized service despite our short timeline and long list of requirements."
- Eva H."Josue was very thorough explaining the whole process. He answered all our questions. He conducted the whole process in a very professional and efficient manner making a very pleasant experience for us. We are grateful for his skills and experience. We will gladly recommend Josue to anybody."
- Oscar P."Josue Pinto was phenomenal. Well prepared, punctual, well spoken and he kept is very informed throughout. Josue Pinto was a pleasure to work with. He is excellent."
- Jens G."Mark was fantastic. Responsive. Insightful. Expert. Everything went smoother than we could've hoped. Couldn't say enough good things. Mark's assistance was incredibly valuable and everything he recommended was a positive addition to the process."
- Thomas Rodriguez"Christine Robinson helped us buy our first house. Like anyone who undertakes this major financial obligation, we too were very apprehensive at first. Christine not only walked and coached us through the process, but she has demonstrated that her involvement didn't stop after we signed for our house. For that we are very grateful, and Christine has earned our lifelong trust. Christine Robinson is "5-star" in our book! She not only helped us buy our first and current home, but we sought her assistance to get our place rented as well. She can do it ALL - and WELL"
- K. Chance"I am from a Navy family. We have moved many times and owned a number of homes. In all my home purchases and sales I have never met a agent who worked harder than Christine Robinson. She gave me terrific advice from our first meeting on things we could do to make our home more attractive to buyers. She always took the time to answer all my questions and worked diligently to get our house sold. Christine is very thoughtful and cares about her clients. We feel very lucky that we found Christine and I highly recommend her."
- S. Michaud"Absolutely the most helpful real estate agent I've dealt with in my life, and I've engaged 9 over many moves for the military. Christine listens intently and made our rental desire a reality. She is hands down the best agent you will deal due to her genuine concern for her clients. She was patient as we toured places with our newborn and ensured our highest level of comfort. Her experience and adept ear to the market helped us locate the rental we desired in our price range after two days. I will only use her for my real estate needs from here on out as she's truly earned my business"
- J. Hamilton"Christine was the best! She was very helpful along the way. I am relocating for work and did not know any of the neighborhoods. She showed me great places to consider to rent and gave me insights on the neighborhoods. She also pulled properties prior to my arrival and had a schedule figured out before we started the search. She was able to make a big move easier, and less stressful. She made sure I was comfortable with what I was picking and where I was living. She helped see the process through to the very end, and when I decide to buy, I will make sure to use Christine. She made this process so much easier and I cannot thank her enough!"
- A. Jones"Christine Robinson is a dynamite realtor. If you are serious about owning a home, Christine Robinson will guarantee to make that dream happen. She is a dedicated realtor who is extremely knowledgeable about the industry and will fight hard to get you into the right home at the right price in the right location. When you work with Christine, you are working with a friend who understands the significance of this opportunity and will provide her expert opinions to help you make an informed decision. She will not sell you anything subpar! Christine is always reviewing upcoming listings that may fit your interest and is proactive in working with other realtors so you can get first view. Christine has wonderful work ethics, she is very personable and trusting. You cannot go wrong having Christine Robinson as your realtor; she is a true professional!"
- Y. Jefferson"Christine helped me buy a new home. She was great throughout the whole process. First, she did not pressure me for a fast sale. I picked out a condo pretty early, but she was happy to show me a few more to help ease my mind. Then she was super during negotiations by saving me a lot of money. After that, there was no stress at all. She kept me squared away at every step and made it all so easy. Her customer service skills are amazing! She even sent me the form to get my new parking pass. She's wonderful!!! She has excellent contacts too. Even the lender, inspector, and title company she recommended was great. I will use her again when I sell."
- J. Thomas"We recently completed a home purchase in Virginia with Christine as our agent. She was absolutely outstanding from day 1. She was very knowledgeable about the housing market and buying process. She was quick to respond to any question or inquiry and made our particular purchasing needs a priority. Best of all, she was extremely patient with us as we spent numerous weeks searching out the right home that would meet family, budget and commuting needs. We will definitely be recommending Christine to friends and coworkers."
- T. Renegar"JaneEllen was SO helpful to us to find a new home to rent. She was always extremely professional and patient, had the right answers, and was able to help us find a place in enough time. I would definitely recommend her to anyone."
- Sarah Cheseldine"As with the entire process, everything went perfectly. Thank you so much for all your help throughout and for facilitating a successful and painless process. We really appreciate everything you did. You are first on our list if anyone ask for a referral."
- J.F."Thank you for all your help...You were perfectly communicative and patient...I also really appreciated your input as we went through each of the showings. You really helped with my decision. You were such a pleasure to work with. Let me know how I can let others know how awesome you are!"
- Erin O."Kathy took the time to get to know us and the kind of home we would require for our busy lifestyle. We gave her our list of must-haves and she really knocked it out of the park with the listings she picked. She was super patient and kind during our search and always advocated for our best interests. We cannot recommend her enough for your real estate needs."
- Mike B."Karen is very professional. She works hard and not "pushy". Even after settlement, she will resolve unforeseen issues for you. She is the best realtor you can find. We are happy to work with her."
- B. Chou"The reason why I requested Kolleen is because she is awesome!! She was able to find a tenant in weeks compared to months with a previously recommended Realtor. Kolleen takes the customer seriously, even when working on rental transactions, she makes it an important priority as if she was working with a buyer/seller looking for or listing a house! She was very professional and persistent! I loved working with her because I was always informed, which is especially important to me because."
- H. Jones"Kolleen serves our out-of-town landlord needs excellently ... she is smart, courteous, energetic, very responsive, and often a step or two ahead of us."
- The Kearneys"We rented a townhouse that was listed through Kolleen Kennedy at Long and Foster. I have bought homes and rented some and Kolleen was by far the best realtor I have ever worked with. She is friendly, easy going and got right back with any questions I had. I highly recommend her for all your real estate needs."
- S. Udall"She is professional and has done a wonderful job of renting my houses. She is much more than a 5. You are extremely fortunate to have her associated with your agency. I have great tenants and am getting much more in rent than I ever expected."
- C. Kercheval"She is professional and has done a wonderful job of renting my houses. She is much more than a 5. You are extremely fortunate to have her associated with your agency. I have great tenants and am getting much more in rent than I ever expected."
- C. Kercheval"It has been my pleasure to have been a client of Kolleen Kennedy's for several years. She is truly a 5 Star realtor! I would give her more stars if possible!! She is simply the best professional and personable in every situation. She also always goes the extra mile for her clients at all times! I very much recommend her in every way!"
- T. Furnas"Kolleen Kennedy has been a most gracious and knowledgeable realtor working with my husband and me in selling our home in Mclean. She is presently helping us to sell another house and is in constant contact with us and it is obvious she is putting in a great deal of time and effort toward obtaining a contract. I hold her in high esteem. She has an amazing work ethic and it is a pleasure to work with her. Five STARS."
- B. Hernandez"I have worked with Kolleen for approximately 3 years now and have always had great results. I used Kolleen to list a vast majority of the properties I managed and she always proved to be more valuable to myself as a property manager and beneficial to the owners. Kolleen, always provided to both the owners and myself feedback in a timely manner, helpful marketing suggestions, and provided excellent followed through."
- M. Ramsey"Without the experience of Bob Martini we would not have been the successful bidder. Thanks to our real estate agent we will be moving back to Alexandria House. His attention to detail from contract offer to closing was unsurpassed. If you are considering buying or selling we highly recommend Bob."
- Herb and Diane"We did not have an agent to sell our Mount Vernon home. I was approached by Bob Martini on behalf of the buyers. It was a complex transaction, but Bob was involved at every point and successfully solved every issue. We highly recommend Bob to both buyers and sellers"
- Jeff and Tami"Bob Martini represented us in the marketing and sale of our Mother's unit at The Greenhouse Condominium in Alexandria, Virginia. From the start, Bob came prepared having done a thorough analysis of the market , a clever eyed look at all aspects of the unit, and terrific suggestions regarding its enhancement. We feel that Bob is the consummate professional-truthful,communicative, and helpful. He took care of it all, and we are very grateful. Thanks to Bob Martini for a very successful sale."
- Mary and Sarah"I have known Amy for more than thirty years, ever since she worked for me as office manager of my property management company. She is very smart and has boundless energy. While she worked for me she got her first real estate licenses in VA and DC and was very successful. She has lived in Washington DC her whole life and is super familiar with all the communities in and around DC. ~M Green - Amy's first real estate Broker"
- ~M. Green"I have been renting a house that Amy owns and manages, for 16 years. She has always been very quick to respond to any problems that arise. She is pleasant, efficient and very knowledgeable in real estate. I highly recommend working with her when you are ready to move."
- ~A. Ramirez"We were in a bind. Moving to the area practically sight unseen. Robin jumped right in to find the house we needed in the location we wanted. When sticky issues arose, she handled them smoothly and efficiently. Her extra help got us all moved in - on time and on budget. If it wasn't for Robin, there's no telling where we would be now. We'll definitely recommend her to all of our friends!"
- Claudia & Stephen R."We bought our house in March with Lauren Budik. She toured the houses "with us" via Skype, and my husband flew only to finalize all the paperwork. We are happy with our decision (arrived to live in NOVA five months after purchase). Even being located in NOVA, you will still need professional help and time. Redfin and Zillow are nice, user-friendly websites, but they do not reflect real-time information and houses that were sold weeks ago still stay listed there as available. I can't recommend you Lauren enough — she will save so much of your time, energy and sanity in this entire process. The level of service we received was outstanding. She is an enormous asset to McEnearney. Very professional, highly responsive, quick and acts in the best interests of her clients."
- V.H."Best agent in the DMV area! Super helpful, and makes the entire process of buying a home quick and painless!"
- Zack Siddique"We retained Karen Martins and McEnearney to help sell our house and Karen was a terrific, terrific choice. We have worked with many brokers over the years, and Karen is at the top of her profession. Here comes a bunch of superlatives, but Karen earned them. She is: 1) highly knowledgeable about the DC region. 2) very responsive and communicates clearly. 3) collaborative and listens carefully. 4) organized and does what she says she will do. 5) excellent at maintaining a network of excellent tradespeople. 6) careful, thoughtful and honest. 7) very good at setting priorities and keeping things moving. And Karen thought of things we didn't think of, and those thoughts invariably added value to the process. She just basically puts her clients first, and we were fortunate to be one of them. Oh, wait, she is also very nice and easy to work with - but you will know that the first time you meet her. We would work with her again, without question."
- Bruce Metge"My wife Monica and I recently purchased a home and sold our old home with Steve Klintberg as our agent. We could not have been happier with Steve. He took the time to take us out on a "practice" house search so as to get to know us better and to really understand the type of house we wanted to buy. He seemed to almost read our minds after only a short while. When we began the house search in earnest, Steve kept the search to only those homes that were within those parameters (i.e. price, style, neighborhoods, etc.). He hit the nail on the head and our search was efficient and productive. His relaxed style and honesty were greatly appreciated. Steve was also able to sell our house in a rather tight market very quickly, which took a load off our minds. We would recommend Steve to anyone who asks. We certainly would like to use him in the future as well. Thanks Steve!"
- Alex & Monica K."Steve, I really want to thank you for all your work, help and support while I went through the home buying process. You truly listened to what I needed and wanted and were always calm and extremely competent. I'm so glad you still take on first-time home buyers! You made things as effortless as possible, which I hadn't expected."
- Lara Otis"I want to thank you for your excellent efforts in disposing of my property in Arlington, Virginia. The tenants moved out on January 31st. We inspected the premises the next day. I gave you a signed listing agreement the same day. The house needed some fixing up, and I was impressed with your knowledge of what was required and that you knew the people to do the work required. You got the people started right away, and their costs were reasonable. The house was listed in the MLS expeditiously and a great deal of interest was expressed by local brokers. I set an asking price which I initially thought was a bit high, but you accepted the price and went to work. You obtained a contract for the listing price with options to go to a higher figure if necessary. Needless to say I feel fortunate in having you as the sales person on my property, and I would recommend you without hesitation to anyone who has a property to sell. Thank you for an outstanding job!"
- William Carpenter"Everything was good and at the highest level of response and support from Chris. She was proactive, responsive, professional and thoughtful. Selling and moving on my own was a daunting prospect. Chris helped me every step of the way and her guidance and advice ensured my home sold quickly, and the process went smoothly, which is what I wanted. I could not have done it without her tremendous support. Very impressed with the whole experience."
- AB"We purchased our new home while living overseas. This could have been an incredibly nerve-racking experience for us, but Chris put us at ease by keeping us well informed at every step. She also has exceptional relationships with all the best local service providers which was a huge benefit to us being new to the area. We would recommend Chris in a heartbeat to anyone and especially to anyone moving into the area."
- SH"Chris is knowledgeable, professional and confident. She has my complete trust."
- RT"Chris was amazing! She made suggestions to stage our home and perform a few maintenance tasks. She stayed with us every step of the way, from initial meeting to overseeing the photographing of our home and placing her personal touches on our open house day. Her attention to detail was spot on!"
- MZ"Being military, we've rented many places and worked with many different agents. Bretta stands out among them as exceptional. She went above and beyond to find us the perfect rental for our unique situation and even video recorded tours of homes for us while we were out of the country. We will unequivocally work with Bretta for any future real estate needs and recommend her to anyone seeking real estate services."
- Meghan H."It was the best decision getting Bretta to show me around Alexandria. After meeting with me in person for the first time, she picked out the perfect place for me. She's the best!"
- Ashanti G."Bretta recently helped me and my family with our housing search in Northern Virginia. We are happy to give her our absolute highest recommendation. The thing that stands out above all else is that she was genuinely interested in finding us the perfect home. We have worked with many realtors over the years, and Bretta's passion and commitment really do stand out. She made an effort to understand our needs and preferences, then did extensive research on potential listings for us. Additionally, she went out of her way to show us a number of houses late in the evening, on short notice, in inclement weather, and on weekends. You would be hard pressed to find a realtor more passionate and professional than Bretta Bombac"
- Darin H."We met Steve Klintberg on our house hunting trip the last week of April 2011. Our original plan was to rent; but we learned quickly the rental market was competitive and there was not a house to be found which met our needs. We were looking for great location, move-in ready, spacious enough for a family of five, and of course, in our price range. To complicate matters even more, we had less than a week to accomplish this. We had considered buying but resisted working with a realtor since it is difficult to build that kind of personal relationship so quickly; plus, we wanted to maximize our spending power since we were on a military budget. Steve was the listing realtor on one of the properties we went to see and after our visit, he insisted we come to his office "no strings attached" to simply look at a map of the area and discuss options in our price range. He wore the hat of "Uncle Steve" and sincerely wanted us to be informed about what were about to embark on in such an aggressive and high-priced part of the country. We sat down, listened to his sound advice, and really felt like he was being honest and forthcoming with us. We knew that Steve was the right fit for us. For the next couple of days, we feverishly worked as a team, looking at multiple homes, in and around Arlington, Alexandria, Falls Church and beyond. It was an exhausting feat, but one that Steve took on in patience, sound knowledge, and perseverance to find us THE home we sought. And he did it! Within four days, searching high and low, Steve found us a beautiful town home, which would accommodate a 4-year-old, 3-year-old, 6-month-old, dog plus the two of us. Steve never gave up despite our uncertainties and insecurities, and left no stone unturned until we were not only content but enthusiastic! We highly recommend Steve to anyone looking for a home in this part of the county and instantly passed his name to several of our military friends heading this direction. Steve was professional, yet took us under his wing as if we were family and sincerely wished for our happiness. We could not have asked for anything more in a realtor."
- Benjamin and Jennifer"In Spring 2016, my wife and I worked with Becky to sell our townhouse at the time and buy a single family home elsewhere in Alexandria. Everything that she did was above and beyond the call of duty. Need to have a contract item explained for the sixth time? done. Need to vent about something at 11 PM? done. Have bizarre interest in a house 20 miles away from any other one? she'll meet you there. Becky is dedicated, knowledgeable, honest, and - more than anything else - patient. We were fortunate to have her help through this major lifestyle shift."
- Mark L."Rebecca and I have been partners on a couple of successful flips - both selling in less than a week. She has an eye for style and lot of connections to get the work done at a reasonable cost."
- Tina S."We highly recommend Becky to anyone looking to either buy or sell their home. She was truly amazing from beginning to the end. She's extremely attentive , she's very knowledgeable about the community and the market. We felt as though she always had our best interest in mind and advocated for us throughout the entire process. She helped us sell our town home and buy our new home. She ensured a smooth process for us on both sides. She answered ALL of our questions quickly and was always professional. We couldn't recommend her enough; she's wonderful!"
- Randy K."Rebecca has very good knowledge of this area, both personally and professionally. She was able to make great suggestions for homes to view. We ended up purchasing our home after Rebecca shared that it was about to be listed--then, She worked with the other agent to get us in to see it on very short notice. We love our house. Thank you, Becky!"
- E Putnam."Becky McCullough is a superb realtor!!! Her knowledge of market conditions, home mechanicals, and neighborhoods, is unmatched. Her confidence and easy-going style help put the client at ease. We were so impressed with her when she showed us one offering that we decided to work with her for the balance of our new home search. We were then so pleased with her knowledge and abilities in executing the purchase of our dream home, that we retained her services in the selling our existing home. Becky seems to have a knack for reading her client-- she gave us exactly the right amount of "care and feeding" over both transactions to help us make the best decisions-- neither overly obtrusive, nor ever hard to reach. We cannot recommend her too highly! In addition, her network of quality service personnel, which she was able to suggest (with no pressure) turned out to be great value-added (movers, pest inspectors, home inspectors, etc.). Becky is great at what she does, which is helping folks navigate difficult, complex, and exciting decisions!"
- M Kowal."Rebecca was awesome. She was very responsive and met me on short notice to look at multiple rentals. It was clear that she had done her homework in advance of the meeting and she had excellent insights into each of the homes we toured. We ended up renting one of the homes we looked at it and Rebecca knocked out all of the paperwork very quickly. We would strongly recommend Rebecca to anyone looking at homes in the area. I assure you that you will not be disappointed."
- Jeff and Karen S."Becky McCullough is simply a fantastic realtor! We were going to go it alone but, we're glad we didn't. She found the perfect house for our family inside our compressed two month time window, and for the price we could afford. Becky nailed every aspect of the buying process. From home selection to closing, her recommendations, responsiveness, straight forward communication and energy level were just spot-on. Becky did a great job negotiating with the Seller and delivered a very simple and clear offer that was accepted without question. We couldn't be more satisfied with Becky and the truly professional service she provided!"
- S&G Parkins."Christine helped me buy my first home ever! We worked for months trying to find the right home for me the was the correct fit. We went back and forth a lot on homes. She always kept an up beat attitude and never gave up on looking. She explained everything very simply as I was going in this with no idea what to do and made it all simple. Iv recommended her to friends and family looking in the area. At the end of the journey she went the extra mile to break down the costs and vendors needed to make it all close smoothly. Started with a realtor and ended up with a good friend."
- M. Moscoso"Christine is not only professional, knowledgeable and patient- but she makes the experience actually fun! At every turn, we realized she was truly looking out for our best interests. Her passion for real estate shows through in all aspects of the process. She is committed to making sure her clients are happy and her incredible attention to detail was greatly appreciated."
- M. Johnson"If I could give 10 stars I would! During the process of finding a new home and finding tenants for our existing one, Karen Martins was so responsive to every one of our questions and requests that we definitely felt like we were her only clients. At every stage of the process, she gave us sound real estate advice, helped us realize how to maximize our options, and gave us the ability to move quickly by sharing excellent referrals for painters, decorators, etc. She was not only a strong advocate for us, but also an excellent negotiator and a problem solver who make sure we continued to make progress during our very short timeline. We came to trust her implicitly, and knowing we were being guided by her sage advice, we were able to move forward and make decisions quickly. We never knew how much value a real estate agent could add until we worked with Karen. We are definitely clients for life!"
- Kristin Conrad"The best service I have had!"
- Brenda M."Excellent service and very professional."
- Catherine Lindenfelser"Sabina was the perfect agent for our transaction. She was able to handle numerous personalities in an estate sale. We were selling a condo in Bethesda and she answered our many questions and suggested options to upgrade and ready it for the market. The condo sold quickly and for the asking price."
- Margaret Nicolson"Sabina possesses all of the qualities that my wife and I (who were first time home buyers) were looking for in an agent. She is kind, patient, informative, and caring. If you choose her as your agent, you can rest assured that you hired someone who will look out for your best interests."
- Corey Mishler"Sabina came through for us again! She helped us find our perfect suburban home in Potomac in 2015. She thoughtfully listened to what we wanted and navigated us through the purchase of our home. Fast forward three years, and my husband got a new job in Denver- we had to move again! Sabina helped to make the process of selling our home as smooth as possible, offering suggestions for cost-effective updates and advice throughout negotiations. She is a caring and dedicated agent to whom we would refer any friends or family in the DC metro area for their house buying and selling needs. Thank you, Sabina!"
- Jen Chen"Sending a big thank you to Sabina Emerson for helping us find our new home. We were looking for some time and she was so patient and had great advice throughout the process. In addition, we encountered a few problems with our home right after the purchase and Sabina was right there to make suggestions and calls on our behalf. I would highly recommend Sabina if you're looking for a home in the DC metro area. She's the best."
- Teresa & Enrique Chaurand"I had such a great experience working with Sabina, first when I was renting out my home and, subsequently, when I sold it. She got it done in the time and for the price I needed. In addition, she went above and beyond to make sure it was ready to go to market. Seriously, WAY above and beyond what you might expect from other realtors. What I appreciated most was I felt taken care of throughout the entire process. I highly, highly recommend her."
- Emily Bond"Sabina has been a huge help in representing us in the purchase and rental of our investment properties. She was able to help weed out properties so we did not waste time going to look at them. She was also great at finding a tenant and negotiating the lease. I don't think I could have done it without her."
- Matt Zawislak"I have worked with Ann Nichols for 35 years and refuse to do business with anyone else. Ann is top notch. When you have the best , why would you go anywhere else? She pays special attention to details and guides me through all the hurdles of home buying and selling."
- Holly N."Exceptional! Ann is an amazing agent and a kind, thoughtful person. She covered every aspect of my home purchase before I even knew it was done. Thanks to Ann for all of her hard work to make my home purchase a reality."
- Deborah B."We interviewed several agents and Ann was by far the most energetic and "can do" of the lot. She brought in excellent support for staging and repair of items identified in the home inspection report. Entirely positive experience!"
- William and Jane S."Excellent. Ann is smart, professional, knowledgeable, easy to contact, and very easy to work with. We were comfortable with her and knew we were in good hands from the start."
- Peter T. and Nicole D."Ann is the best. She has sold me and sold for me several properties at the highest value and all in less than 30 days on the market."
- Diana S."Suberb - I would definitely use Ann again!"
- Hui P."Ann was there for us every step of the way."
- Seung J. and Yoon H.Y."Absolutely wonderful. Ann is a top notch professional and a pleasure to work with."
- Richard and Mackenzie C."Wendy represented us as buyers for our first home purchase. Going into the process, we knew we liked her. Having now completed the process, we are RAVING FANS and can't imagine hiring anyone else to help us with buying or selling property in the future. During the process, it was clear that finding the right fit and our long-term happiness was Wendy's primary goal, rather than just the purchase of any old house. She is in this job for the right reasons, and that's what you need when you're making this investment. Wendy had impeccable attention to detail, provided very good feedback and advice on the properties we considered, and was extremely knowledgeable about the process. During the process we realized just how many balls had to be kept in the air, and how much you needed an advocate on your side. Wendy kept it all moving forward and organized for us. Needless to say, we highly recommend her."
- Jane & Ryan P."Pat is a stellar agent! She goes way above and beyond to help her clients. Pat understands what it means to love animals and find a great home with pets. She is kind, funny, and navigates the process with ease."
- Jodi/Renter"Always first class with Pat. She is the consummate professional and always steers me in the right direction. Pat is a pro at working through all the red tape and getting everything handled in a time efficient manner."
- Mary/Buyer"Katie's level of service was amazing - very personalized and prompt answers to all our questions. We would enthusiastically recommend our agent Katie."
- Darlene Marie Noble-Zinzer"This past fall, my wife and I faced the challenge of searching for an apartment while living out of town. We couldn't praise Kathy more for her professionalism, honesty, flexibility, and dedication to finding us a new home. She made the process simple, advocated aggressively on our behalf during negotiations, and responded promptly to our many requests and questions. She made what could be a stressful and complicated process, an easy and exciting experience. Thank you, Kathy!"
- Edward P."Ms. Hassett took her time and assisted me while I was searching for a home. I had many 'musts' and Kathy was considerate in her efforts to meet my requirements. She made herself available and was always willing to adapt to my schedule to view properties, always with a delightful attitude. Ultimately, with Kathy's help, we found my new place together! During a stressful time for me, Kathy was my saving grace. I will definitely contact her again when I'm in the market for a new place."
- Lauren T."We have been through many home sales and we both rate Kristen way above average. The details, research, approach, experience and friendliness she shows is absolutely beyond other agents. A new-home-shopper or a family wanting to sell would be very lucky to have her on their side!"
- Joann A."Kristen was the selling agent on our new home that we purchased in September. She is professional, trust worthy, knowledgeable, helpful, responsive, and made us feel valued as well. We would highly recommend using her as an agent either as the selling agent or the buying agent!!"
- Sue W."Without doubt one of the best realtors we have ever worked with. Kristen is smart, understanding and knows very quickly what your requirements are and does not waste anytime with properties that do match your criteria. She is responsiveness and her communication and follow up is incredible. A true professional and an absolute delight to work with. Kristen is a rock star and we would not work with anyone else in Alexandria."
- David G."Proactive and detail oriented. Great negotiator. Provides the highest level of customer service and is able to quickly provide contractors/vendors to complete inspections and repairs. She was my agent on two condo purchases and quickly found a tenant for one condo."
- Yvonne M."Kristen Jones is the best agent I have ever worked with. She is personable, professional, and knowledgeable. She knows how to get the job done effectively and timely. I would recommend her to everyone looking to buy or sell their home."
- Brandy R."Going through the home buying process with Lindsay was nothing short of a delight. From our introduction to the final closing, she clearly was focused on what we wanted and made that her priority - she wasn't driven by the pressures a typical realtor would be under to "close the deal". As we toured various homes, Lindsay clearly was listening to us and made sure to adapt and update our requirements as we determined what was most important to us. She even made sure to have coffee for us when we looked at places - a very nice touch to what can be stressful decision process. As we worked on drafting our offer, Lindsay's expertise and recommendations are what led to us locking-in our home, beating out several other offers - which was attributed directly to her recommendations. Lindsay is nothing short of a true professional who is focused on what you want throughout the process."
- Byron P."Searching for our first home with Lindsay was a blast! We were impressed with her enthusiasm, efficiency, and willingness to go the extra mile. We were first-time home buyers, and had a lot to learn about the process. We had to shift gears and priorities (more than once) and Lindsay was a well of patience and knowledge. Despite this, we never felt pressured. She was insistent that we take the time to be sure we were setting parameters that we were comfortable with. We always knew she had our priorities and interests in mind. This was evident in the search process as she never showed us homes we couldn't afford and made sure our top priorities in our home search were being met. In the negotiation phase, she was fearless in helping us to get the best offer on the table. She gave us great advice, and her ability to discern the seller's priorities helped us win out in a FOUR WAY competition for our home! Lindsay is the essence of professionalism. She is prompt, and is willing to go the extra mile to answer your questions as accurately as she can. Lindsay made searching for our first home a fun, comfortable, and exciting experience!"
- Victoria Patterson"Lindsay helped me find my first home in Arlington, VA this past April 2018. I was nervous to even take the leap in buying my first place, with her willing aid she made everything clear, organized and thorough. She stayed with me along the whole process in learning about real estate and buying a home. She explained all contingencies and fine print which relieved many mysteries and obstacles. She presented me with all the people I needed to work with, including the title company, mortgage broker, and inspection agency, to make the process smoother. Lindsay is very personable, understanding and positive. She answered every last question I had, at any hour of the day. She then helped me organize a moving truck, last minute details, and cheered me on when signing the papers. Working with her was a complete joy and would highly recommend any new or seasoned homebuyer to work with Lindsay."
- Anna Lisa"Lindsay helped my husband and I find our dream home in Old Town Alexandria this past summer. She took time to get to know us and help us to refine exactly what we wanted. This was important to me, as I can't stand feeling like I am being sold to by someone who doesn't care what I'm actually looking for. We had a lot of fun with Lindsay and enjoyed the experience working with her. I found her to be very knowledgeable and she was responsive to our questions and needs at all hours. I would highly recommend Lindsay as a professional who truly cares about her clients and finding their perfect home!"
- Rose Hutson"Lindsay knew what we wanted before we did! She represented our best interest, was able to guide and counsel us throughout the process. We felt like we were in the best hands possible! The first home we fell in love with was move-in ready and Lindsay said to us, "You both work in construction. Have you thought about purchasing a home that you can design and make your own?" She was right and that's exactly what we ended up doing! Three days into our search we found our now home for significantly less money and in a better location! We've been having so much fun customizing it and making it truly our own. Lindsay made sure we were doing what was best for us and we couldn't be happier!"
- Juan Torres"As a first time homebuyer I was fairly nervous about the home buying process. Fortunately for me, I found Lindsay to help and guide me along the way and I could not be more happy with her time as my realtor. She took the time to fully scout out the different areas that I viewed as possible locations and was extremely flexible with taking my opinion into consideration for properties that were in locations I did not initially specify. Lindsay was always punctual and took the time to make sure that I saw exactly what I wanted. She is very persistent, as evident when the key for a property we were viewing was locked in the unit by the previous prospective buyers and she made sure that the owner promptly came and provided us a way into the unit. Overall, Lindsay was a tremendous realtor who helped make my first time home buying experience a breeze. I fully recommend her to anyone in the area and as long as I'm still in the area, I'm SOLD on Lindsay as my realtor!"
- Brad Foulke"Lindsay's professionalism, experience, and down to earth personality made the process of finding and buying a home worthwhile. She understood my family's likes and dislikes of what we wanted of a home and she took the time to find prospective houses that suited our needs. Her kindness and patience made the whole home buying experience a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Lindsay took the time for me and my family to find our home and that is something that is to be valued. When we did find the house we wanted, Lindsay worked hard and fought for us to attain the house that we now call home. We highly recommend Lindsay to other families that may be looking for a home and an agent to work with. Thank You Lindsay!!"
- Roy Meade"My husband and I bought our house in Alexandria this past year and had such a great experience working with Lindsay. She was paramount in helping us through the process of putting an offer on the house and helping us navigate through the Northern Virginia real estate market. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional and truly cares about her clients. Being new to the area, it was incredible to have such a hands-on and attentive realtor as Lindsay and she made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. We will definitely be going through Lindsay again and have recommended her to our friends moving to the area. Highly recommend to anyone in the DC area, Lindsay is awesome!!"
- Rachel & Taylor Bunch"Terry Metin was amazing. She was extremely knowledgable and gave us excellent advice every step of the way. She went above and beyond for us when we ran into a problem that could have become a major issue but thanks to her we avoided a disaster. We are extremely happy with the service we received and would recommend her to anyone."
- MD"Terri was great to work with. She really stays on top of everything. It's obvious that she's very experienced and knowledgeable. I've bought and sold 6 houses already and this was the easiest process I've ever done and that is largely due to Terri's "get it done" work ethic. She is absolutely superior to any real estate agent around! I was so pleased at how on top of everything Terri was and she made the whole transaction smooth!"
- PH"Ann is an amazing professional! She is, without a doubt, the best Realtor I know. I hired her after 2 other Realtors were unsuccessful in selling my house in 2018. She came in with valuable research on the market and comparable sales in my area, laid out a strategy for the most effective way to prepare the house for the market and she and her team worked with me to execute. Once it hit the market in November, it sold in a week! She's the best!!"
- Jenevieve Creary (Buyer/Seller - VA)"I can't say enough about Jerry's professionalism and nurturing personality through the real estate process. In addition to her extensive knowledge in local real estate, she really cares about her clients. She has a great read on what clients want and need. I gave her criteria that I was looking for in a home and she met that criteria in the homes she showed us. Throughout the home buying process, Jerry was extremely responsive and thoughtful in her recommendations. She even went as far as staging a surprise showing of a home for my children (that I had already purchased). She made a sign, brought cupcakes and was part of the joyous moment letting our kids know I already purchased the home. Purchasing a home can be a very overwhelming process, but Jerry makes her clients feel at ease and comfortable. She's great at what she does! I'd highly recommend Jerry for any real estate transaction."
- Dawn"Loved working with Jean! She was recommended to us by a friend and we couldn't have been happier. We flew in from the midwest to find a house in just 3 days. She picked us up and drove us around, and also introduced us to locals in the area where we looking for a house. Getting info from a local was very nice. Look forward to using her again in the future when we move."
- A. Hansen"Jean helped us find and buy a home, and we are absolutely delighted with experience and the result. We had been renting in the Northern Virginia area and were very unfocused when we started. Jean was patient, expert, and very helpful in getting us to narrow our options and find the place that was right for us. She invested a great deal of time and was always gracious and unhurried. We came to trust her, and the trust paid off when we found the house we wanted. Jean helped us through the negotiations and enabled us to make good, informed decisions. I would recommend Jean to anyone looking for a house in this area."
- Charles M."Yeison helped us find a home in our dream location (North Arlington) at our ideal price point, something I thought was impossible. When we first met Yeison, we told him we would love to stay in North Arlington (we had been renting), but that we realized that dream was likely out of reach for our budget. Without skipping a beat, he told us you never know, that there are some gems out there if you know where to look, and he was completely right! We really appreciated his positive attitude, willingness to put in the hard work to help us find what we wanted, but being realistic with us along the way and providing a range us options for us to consider. We were looking in the Arlington/Falls Church area, and Yeison knew the area very well. He won??t recommend you buy a home unless he thinks it is a good investment and something he can resell. He also knows how to present a strong offer in a competitive market and he won??t encourage you to bid over what he has assessed a house to be worth based on market research. Yeison helped us put together a strong offer to bid $18k under asking for the house we ended up buying (the offer was accepted without any negotiation). Yeison never pressured us to look at houses beyond our comfortable budget. And in general, my husband and I loved working with Yeison! Yeison was very professional, but also friendly and fun to be around. We both genuinely enjoyed spending time with Yeison, chatting with him on the phone, and texting with him, which is important because you spend a lot of time with your realtor. Yeison was extremely communicative, available, and on top of all aspects of the home buying process. As new home buyers, his patience with us in explaining ever aspect of the process was very much appreciated. We would see a house hit the market at 10am, and we would have an appointment to view the house at 6pm that evening if we wanted. I can??t recommend him enough!"
- Diana"Hands down the BEST realtor I've ever worked with, and will only work him on a go-forward basis! I would recommend Yeison to any of my family or friends. Yeison went above and beyond his call of duty and was fully engaged in the entire process - providing design recommendations, pricing the unit accurately with the market, negotiations, contracting, etc. I know we wouldn't have sold our apartment as quickly as we did without Yeison's expertise guiding us along the way. Such a professional and amazing to work with - THANK YOU!"
- Crystal"I can't say enough about Yeison, he was amazing to work with!!! He walked us through the entire process, dealing with so many things, his attention to detail, his professionalism, everything. I would recommend Yeison to anyone looking to buy or sell, I will absolutely work with him again! THANK YOU!"
- Christy A."Yeison was the best when it came to selling my house! He was great from the start, from providing us with a ton of great information regarding the value and great sale strategy to the amazing staging advice he gave. He was very responsive to questions and got our house sold in a weekend! He worked so diligently to ensure we got our inspection and appraisal done extremely quickly and made closing a breeze! Loved working with him and would definitely recommend him if anyone is interested in selling their home!"
- Sebastian"Mary was a huge help in guiding us through the process of purchasing our first home. As first-time home buyers, we had lots of questions and she was very knowledgeable about the area, and extremely responsive to our needs. She went above and beyond to assist us in finding our dream first home. We couldn't be happier! Thank you so much, Mary!"
- Sarah Jesensky, Leesburg, VA"Katie Stowe of McEnearney Associates is an excellent realtor. We just sold our townhouse with her, and it was an amazing experience. We were posted overseas, and the townhouse needed some renovation work. She provided a responsible and efficient contractor, oversaw all the renovations, including input on design, and expertly shepherded us through a changing DC area market, including some tricky negotiations. I can't say enough about how knowledgeable, responsive, and helpful she was. Plus, she's just a genuinely lovely person who made the whole process go smoothly. We highly recommend Katie to both buyers and sellers; you will not be disappointed in her top-notch service."
- Gayle Vandenberg"We worked with Lindsay this past year and we're so appreciative of the wonderful experience! Lindsay was professional but personal, wanting to know what we were looking for (even if my husband and I had diametrically opposite wish lists), working to balance those interests so we could both be happy, and never, ever pressuring us. Months later, I am still pinching myself over how easy she made it for us! We could not be happier in our new place and would unreservedly recommend working with Lindsay!"
- Jessica Moran"As a first time home buyer, finding the perfect home can be a very intimidating process. Luckily, we found Lisa and the rest is history! From the very start, she has been a great listener and very patient with helping me find a home in Old Town. She kept in mind the many aspects I desired and didn't stop searching until she found the home of my dreams! When it came to purchasing the home she made sure every step of the way went smoothly and in a timely manner. I am truly loving my new home and looking forward to the years to come. Lisa is a true professional and a wonderful person who really cares about all her clients. Highly recommend her!"
- Ashley M. - Old Town Alexandria's Parker-Grey Neighborhood"Jean was very responsive and quick to pivot to meet our needs in the competitive market. We thoroughly trusted her as first time home-buyers!"
- Elizabeth B."Working with Kathleen, we had peace of mind throughout the entire home buying process."
- Bethany and John"Ann sold us our second home in Arlington this past year and sold our previous one. She is sharp and knows the market as well as the hyper-local neighborhood realtors. Beyond that Ann is honest, professional, and has an incredible team. We have recommended her to many friends and family and wouldn't dream of working with anyone else in the future. We're happy to answer any questions!"
- Medha Tare & JP Walters (Buyer/Seller - VA)"Exceptional Service! Phenomenal Experience with Overseas Families Moving Home. All Transactions leading to final closing conducted 11 time zones away. We are an active duty military family and we recently PCS'd from service at the U.S. Embassy in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan to the Northern Capital Region. Because most of my service is overseas, I have not previously purchased a home. Like all of us in uniform, we have to plan for the day that our career comes to an end, so on this move, we decided to purchase a home. Because we initiated the process from overseas, on the other side of the world, I was very nervous about the process and asked other officers for advice and through the Foreign Area Officer community, Katie was highly recommended. We contacted Katie and other Real Estate Agents in the area and Katie by far made the best first impression. As we continued to work with her under contract, that first great impression was only intensified. She did an amazing job. We are now first-time homeowners and the experience of purchasing a home was excellent, despite my initial concerns. Here are the highlights: * Professional, friendly and well thought-out advice. * Fast response on all questions. * Willingness to work with us in hours that were mutually acceptable with an 11 hour time difference. * Great use of tech to run us through Webcam home viewings of all houses we were interested in. * Sage advice as the process continued, to included a willingness to give us 'hard news we didn't want to hear' on one property that we narrowly avoided purchasing (fire damage). * Despite the pressure to buy quickly, Katie gave us the advice we needed to make the best negotiations in our interest. * Help with local contractors. * When asked, she provided several options for highly rated local mortgage lenders, without pushing us toward any."
- JM Comstock"5 Stars. Sarah is one awesome professional. She works very hard for her clients. You rarely see this type of service in today's world."
- M Harris, Accokeek, MD"5 Stars. Excellent- Her goal is to find your next home"
- D Wagner"5 Stars. Best of the best. Very responsible and trustworthy."
- M Corcoglioniti"5 Stars. Great person and responsible and professional. You can count on Sarah to get the most for you."
- R Dworkin"Sarah Fox was fantastic. She had great initiative and was quite detailed in her follow through. She was a huge help to me in finding a rental house for my family."
- Jennifer McDowell, Vienna"5 Stars! Sarah listened to my needs and found properties that met those needs. She opened houses over and over to make sure I was satisfied with the property. The availability of my agent was very accommodating. Sarah always maintained a positive attitude and we were out in the rain a lot."
- R Patterson, Burke, VA"5 Stars. As a first time buyer, my husband and I had lots of criteria for our first home. For example, I do not like carpet. My husband likes Centreville versus Fairfax. Sarah took all our criteria and did the research sending us daily listings of houses for sale and coordinating to view these houses. She saw houses in advance to determine it would fit our criteria. We saw over 30 houses. Sarah made it easy for us to do this. When it came time to make an offer on our perfect house, she worked with her team to make the process seemless. There were times when I couldn't make it to meet with contractors or other required appointments. Sarah actually went for me and represented on my behalf. Sarah was actually able to knock off $20k from from asking price. If you want a realtor who will treat you as family and give you 110% to get you your perfect house, Sarah is the one you need. Thank you Sarah for helping the Moss family to get our perfect home."
- Alice Moss, Clifton, VA"5 Stars! Sarah was able to give the peace of mind needed at a time when so many decisions and options were available. Her professionalism and knowledge and overall expertise were the reasons for my level of comfort. I would recommend her to any clients looking for a high level of effectiveness and service."
- T Richardson"If you are looking for a realtor who not only knows the market, but one who truly has your back, look no further. Joan is amazing! She sold our house in one day and secured us a home of choice contingency to relieve some of the stress we were feeling to find our next home. She then worked tirelessly to find our dream home. Thank you Joan!"
- Sohrab A., Oakton"It's not just about choosing AN agent; it's about choosing THE RIGHT agent: Joan Reimann. As a northern Virginia native having spent nearly all my life here, I am well aware of the underlying value and marketability of residential real estate here. I've owned a home in Fairfax County dating to 1984. Over the course of selling / upgrading, demand was always solid; net proceeds always solid. In November 2016, I accepted a job in NJ, requiring my relocation. It was an opportunity to sell and downsize. Considering my previous "experiences" with real estate transactions combined with the positive attributes of my house and it's location, it should be easy to sell-by-owner...right? After completing a few upgrades on the 44-yr old house, I took some pictures and took to the Internet using a few on-line real estate marketplaces. After two weeks of high expectations and anticipation fizzled, I realized I needed help. Fortunately, I had a dear friend who also happened to be a real estate agent. Trustworthiness, credibility and accountability are critical attributes for any professional to have; in the real estate industry, those traits are indispensable. "Joannie" (as I have always called her) lives these traits each and every day, in her personal AND professional life. Joan went right to work; thoroughly evaluating my home's specific "slot" in the marketplace, assessing what had been upgraded and finally, suggesting some additional value-added enhancements. Two days after posting the "Coming Soon" sign, we had an offer that dramatically exceeded my previous target. [That's right, the words "For Sale" never made it to the sign]. Joan understood the market dynamics as well as the true value of the underlying asset; the combination resulted in the highest sale price in the 48-Year history of the neighborhood. Joan's expertise resulted in a much higher NET profit than I would have realized had I continued trying to sell it myself. Best of all, the transaction was effortless. All documents were exchanged/signed remotely. Take my word: JUST PHONE JOAN!"
- Tuck M., Oak Hill"I got to know Joan as a realtor 3 years ago when she knocked herself out for us! We had tough criteria concerning our needs. It had to be in a great neighborhood, near the red line, quaint and cottagie! After living in a huge home in the south, the transition to small was one that sounded good in theory but was so hard to actually get my head wrapped around! I was constantly leaning towards finding a bigger home than I needed to get into. Joannie could have talked me into more money, a bigger mortgage, a better cut for her, but she did not. She kept me focused on my goals not on hers! If you want someone who is caring and insightful, and smart as a whip, then Joan Reimann is your Lady! She will understand better than even you, how to put the final package together. I was not an easy customer! I was in shock at how far my money didn't go in DC metro! If I had not listened to her patient advice, I would be sitting alone in a giant house while my hubby enjoyed his new job up here at Corp Headquarters! Joan is not easily daunted and I feel that meeting her when we did was a Divine appointment! So call this Angel! You will never regret it!"
- Chris & Rick O., Silver Springs"Joan was so helpful to us. We were first time homebuyers, and we didn't even know where to start the process. Joan was very knowledgeable about the most current programs available for first time homebuyer's, she told us about a special program through VHDA that let us get a low interest loan and down payment assistance. We found a wonderful townhome in Northern Virginia, and our monthly mortgage is less than renting a studio apartment! Joan was very invested and determined to find a home that met our specific wants and needs while working with in our budget. We are so thankful that we had Joan to help guide us through this process and would highly recommend her to first time homebuyers or anyone that wants an agent that really cares about her clients. Plus, we are anxiously awaiting the Thanksgiving pies she delivers to her clients every year!"
- Marie & Mark, Centreville"We selected Joan to sell our house for two reasons: one was that she'd already sold a house on our street for a great price, the other was her knowledge of the local market and her personality. Joan helped us prepare the house for sale with recommendations, staging and her own sweat equity. Along with her associate Missy, we've never seen a realtor work so hard both mentally and physically to get a house ready for sale. The house looked spectacular when it was listed. The house was in a great school district, fantastic views, very light, lots of room, well maintained however it was also a very specific house: first-floor master bedroom suite and swimming pool. Joan kept us focused and upbeat waiting for the perfect buyer. When two buyers emerged at almost the same time Joan helped us navigate the situation and we sold within 1% of the original listing price. We can't recommend Joan (and MIssy) highly enough. What a great team!"
- Tim & Nancie B., Oak Hill"If I could rate Joan a 10, I would do it! I can't begin to say how wonderful she is. I had a unique situation and Joan helped me every step of the way---all her attention was a lifesaver. She is an expert at identifying what buyers are looking for in a home---a neutral color throughout the house, up-to-date bathrooms, etc. The process was made easier because she had a list of contractors who could help make the house sparkle. She's an expert at staging as well. It was on the market 8 days, and sold for the list price. Her personality is great, she was available at all times, and I made a good friend in the process. Thanks to Missy, too."
- Catherine H., Fairfax"I am lucky to have had Joan as my agent. My wife and I were open to meet any real estate agent and coincidentally met Joan at one of her properties. What I thought was different about Joan than others was that she was never pushy or desperate to sell or get a client; she was always patient in her search for our home. From the first time we met, I felt she was someone we can trust and she always spoke truthfully about each property. If she thought something had issues, she would give us her opinion (recommending for or against), but she never at all attempted to tell "we should put an offer today...." She always left it up to us to make a decision and she was completely happy no matter how long the process took. We appreciated that and we loved having her as our agent. We highly recommend Joan."
- Walid K., McLean"Exceptionally talented and extremely professional individual who went beyond my expectations when I worked with her. Detail oriented, responsive, very knowledgeable. Recommend Joan without reservation whether you are buying, selling, or renting! You will not be disappointed!"
- Sarah M., Silver Spring"Joan did a great job of listening to what we were looking for and then finding it in a remarkably short amount of time. She was also very pleasant to work with in connection with inspection and otherwise closing the deal. We are big fans of Joan!"
- Peter M., Oak Hill"Joan is a fabulous agent and I am a hard grader. She was extremely responsive to my needs and the need to get the house sold for a really good price very quickly. She is patient and aggressively gets the house sold. I would definitely use her again and would highly recommend her to others."
- Sandy C., D.C."Amazing realtor who is hardworking and passionate. Highly recommend her for your selling or buying needs!"
- Mina S., Oakton"Ann was terrific! Because I was traveling a lot, Ann met painters, electricians, HVAC technicians, etc. as we got the unit ready. She is the consummate professional and sold my unit at top dollar in less than 10 days. She did a phenomenal job and she’s lovely to work with making what can be a stressful situation actually an enjoyable one. I am sincere in saying I could not have done this without her."
- Julie O."Ann was delightful to work with. We were first time home buyers and having someone so knowledgeable was invaluable throughout the process. She had a great feel for the negotiation process and her advice resulted in a successful end result. We recommend her highly."
- Andy & Kristie W."Ann was very professional, knowledgeable, available and helpful, especially with resolving a difficult home inspection negotiation."
- Jay & Lanette M."We have worked with Ann for YEARS and have continued to have her help us with subsequent real estate adventures. Her level of commitment and expertise is exceptional. We couldn't recommend her more highly."
- Heather & Tim L."Ann Duff has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She made everything quick, easy and effective. I chose to work with her after meeting with several other Realtors who did not come close to her level of service and responsiveness. I've relied on her to rent out my property twice and both times she quickly found the perfect tenant. And just this year, she sold it for me. I recommend her highly!"
- Pamela N."Engaged, experienced and professional! We couldn't have asked for a better realtor. From start to finish, Karen was attentive to our needs and made the process as smooth as possible. We will seek out Karen again in the future. Highly recommended!"
- Caleb Kahn"Ann was terrific! Very responsive and has a great, fun personality. We are looking forward to working with her again when we look for another residence."
- Fred & Patrice F."Nora is simply the hardest working and driven residential broker in DC I have ever seen. She gives each listing her undivided attention and is relentless in her pursuit of any/all buyer interest..."
- Jim"Nora came highly recommended by a friend, and we are so thankful to have had her outstanding guidance for our first home purchase! We had an unusual and extensive list of must-haves for our home, including a very specific location, wheelchair accessibility, and of course price. Nora was extremely understanding of our needs and was even able to make suggestions about how we might modify possible spaces to fit us. She was honest with us when we proposed some renovations to a potential home that would have decreased resale value, and wasn't deterred when we saw a home that seemed great on paper but that we just didn't love. We knew Nora was fantastic while we were looking at potential homes, but when we got to the stage of making offers, her skill and experience was invaluable - we finally understood how extremely lucky we were to have her representing us. She got us the very first appointment to view the home we ended up buying, by negotiating with the seller's realtor before the property was even officially on the market. Her network of contacts was invaluable in helping us select professionals for home inspections, title companies, and everything else. When we were ready to make an offer, she put it together so quickly she must have set a land speed record (and even did it while we were traveling out of state for a wedding!), had amazing suggestions for increasing the attractiveness of the offer, negotiated vigorously on our behalf, and communicated extensively and clearly so we always understood what was going on. We couldn't have gotten through the process without all of Nora's guidance, knowledge, and skill; her kindness, patience, and great sense of humor made the whole experience a pleasure. We can't recommend Nora Burke highly enough and will certainly return to her in the future should we ever find ourselves looking at property again."
- Andrea"Kim was referred to me through a mutual acquaintance as I was looking to purchase property in Alexandria. I live abroad and my time was very limited between each visit but that is where Kim comes in. She was patient, helpful and understanding. She went out of her way every time I would come in to make time for me and take me around. She also helped explain how the real estate market worked in OT and what my guidelines were when making an offer on a property. Kim helped me through it all in the most professional way which was so comforting as buying a property can be quite stressful and if you don't know the area it can be quite intimidating at times. After thoroughly searching I finally bought the home of my dreams, I am so grateful for having had Kim by my side through it all. This experience has not only given me a beautiful new beginning but also a great friend in the process! Thank you Kim!"
- Tara Empson, Alexandria"Unmatched. We'll contact him, wherever he is, for any future needs."
- Michael D."Always on time and on top of deadlines. Good advice regarding negotiation of price. Knew how to translate asking price into probable selling price, which allowed us to maximize our search and still stay on budget. Sabina earned our trust and we would use her again."
- Bethany Morrison"This was our first home buying experience. Michael went well beyond our expectations for a realtor. We toured so many homes together. He stuck with us as we learned and changed our priorities, and adjusted accordingly. Michael helped us think through what mattered, lending perspective about home ownership that allowed us to set some worries aside to focus on more important things. He always gave us adequate space to see a home on our own, and explored independently, bringing important concerns about a property to our attention. He connected us with the best home inspector I believe we'll have the opportunity to work with, and always, always took our concerns seriously. It is obvious Michael loves homes, and connecting people with a home they will love, as we do."
- Christopher B."The level of service exceeded our expectations in every conceivable way...we had a wonderful experience."
- Fitz C."Kelly helped us find our new home in DC. We were really impressed with her professionalism and, particularly, the extent to which she went to help us get settled in - recommending painters, cleaners, pet sitters. Amazing! So helpful and easy to work with. I highly recommend using her services!"
- Margot B."I unequivocally endorse and highly recommend Kelly Basheer Garrett as an exemplary realtor. Her invaluable knowledge of the real estate market coupled with a genuine professional understanding of our complex relocation needs, allowed for a seamless move from Europe to the USA recently. We will be eternally grateful for Kelly's endless patience, proactiveness and meticulous attention to detail throughout this process. In fact, we look immensely forward to working again with Kelly in the not too distant future."
- Clive G."I have had the pleasure of knowing Kelly for many years on a personal and professional level. Kelly is an absolute pleasure to work with and brings so much knowledge and professionalism to the table. I would highly recommend Kelly to anyone that is looking to buy or sell real estate in the Washington DC area! I promise you will not be disappointed!"
- Frank S."Kelly Basheer Garrett is the best! I have worked with Kelly for a couple of years and found she is consistently attentive and focused on my needs as a client. In addition to her extensive knowledge and impressive negotiating skills, she has built solid relationships in the local real estate ecosystem that are a real plus."
- Erica W."Top quality, attention to detail, realistic approach to current market, professional, personable & honest! THE BEST! Absolutely praiseworthy!"
- J.E.M."Excellent professional service above and beyond expectations."
- W.L."Susan was excellent!"
- EW, Washington DC"This was a very difficult property to sell because it was not the norm. It was a condo located within a retirement community that had fees attached to it making it extremely challenging for my agent who was so good. I can only say great things about her. When I sell my home, she will be the one!"
- Cathryn Korbet"I had the great pleasure to have Sallie on my marketing team for many years. During that time she displayed an uncompromising work ethic, a shining personality that proved infectious to those around her, and a competitive fire that was second-to-none. Coupled with these intangibles are Sallie's technical marketing abilities including strategic messaging, branding and positioning. Together, the skills that Sallie offers means that she will represent you professionally and passionately, and she will work tirelessly for you to sell your home with your best interests at heart."
- Jim Calvo"Judy was fantastic to work with. She was always responsive, provided great advice and we thoroughly enjoyed working with her."
- Jamie H."It is always great and easy to work with Sandy Chee"
- Paul J."Sandy is great to work with. She takes the time to help explain the process and how things are going. I would recommend Sandy to my family, friends, and colleagues."
- David R."I've worked with Sandy to buy or sell 4 properties. She is knowledgeable, professional, and an expert on the area. Sandy is an exceptional realtor and I highly recommend her!"
- David M."Sandy is a great realtor and I'm lucky I met her. I have dealt with three other realtors and none of them came close to the high level of service that Sandy provided."
- Ahmed A."If looking for exceptional service, there is no other choice for a realtor in Northern Virginia than Wendy Santantonio. We have had the pleasure of working with her over the past five years. Wendy assisted my husband and me in finding a home to rent and then later, our home that we purchased. As we we're clients with special needs (multiple pets) her diligence and patience were instrumental in finding both perfect properties. It was not until we were selling our home that I realized what a true treasure she is. We placed an offer on our dream home in Florida and suddenly were in need of selling ours as quickly as possible. Wendy's knowledge of the market and detailed planning allowed us to price our home correctly. Her solid advice on staging and improvements maximized our profit and in the middle of January snowstorms we had lots of interest in our home. This generated several offers which again she managed flawlessly. Wendy was always accessible and walked us through every step of the process. Her efforts were instrumental in securing our forever home. If Virginia is where you are looking to purchase or sell a home, there is none other than Wendy Santantonio for all of your real estate needs."
- Elizabeth & Rhys T."Selling a condo is tough because there are so many hoops to jump through. Sarah walked us through every step of the process and even provided some emotional support during the more stressful times when the condo association was dragging its feet and not responding to our requests. She went out of her way to stage the property to create a homey ambiance for all potential buyers who walked through. As a result, we had multiple contracts within 24 hours of putting it on the market and a ratified contract within 48 hours. Thanks Sarah!"
- Julia"The split with my significant other precipitated the sale of the home we had shared for 24 years. Mary Beth managed that aspect of our situation deftly and diplomatically. She helped us locate various sources of help in getting the house prepared for sale. She arranged for the house to be expertly photographed/videoed and produced a brochure that captured both the beauty of the interior and the outdoor setting, [as well as marketing] the listing intensively. Throughout the process, she kept us fully informed and on track. Her attention to detail was impressive. She handled setbacks extremely well and stayed unfailingly positive. In short, I found her to be very effective and easy to work with. I was so impressed with the outcome of that experience that a year later, I asked Mary Beth to help me find and purchase a home of my own."
- Marjorie E."Working with Mary Beth was delightful. From staging our house to sell, to the day we closed, Mary Beth was always available, pleasant and professional. Mary Beth did a great job marketing our home during a tough market, and got it sold much sooner than we anticipated. We were very happy working with Mary Beth and highly recommend her to everyone!"
- Ellen M."This was my second transaction with Bob and the level of service he provides is far greater compared to all other agents (outside of McEnearney) that I have had experience with. Throughout the entire process, he made things as easy as possible for me. He helped to increase the show-value of my unit in a number of ways including matching and buying paint to touch-up certain areas and fixing a nickel sized on the tub. He researched and ordered the matching touch-up kit - making four trips over a week to add the layers needed for a strong repair. He also washed my enclosed balcony exterior windows, sliding glass doors, and side windows. Most importantly, his advice on list price and time to place on market led to multiple offers that resulted in selling well over list price. He also continued to help following the sale. At my request he posted and donated my section couch which saved me a 2-hour drive and removal costs. He even made extra keys for the buyers without being asked to make things easier for the buyers and their agent. It was always clear that my interests were foremost - he never made recommendations based on selfish interests. This combined with this deep knowledge and understanding of the market made him a true adviser. I strongly recommend Bob!"
- Mary Leonard"The level of service that I received from Katie Stowe was absolutely outstanding, and everyone I encountered at McEnearney Associates, Inc. was wonderful. I honestly have very little if anything negative to say about the transaction experience; it was seamless from beginning to end. Katie Stowe is the best!"
- Gabriel Aubone"As first time homebuyers we weren't quite sure what to expect from a realtor, but Wendy exceeded anything we could have possibly imagined. We could tell she was someone we wanted in our corner from our very first meeting when she outlined the entire home buying process, and explained exactly what her role would be should we choose to work with her. Wendy was highly organized, which made viewing properties enjoyable and efficient. She worked hard to get us timely showings in a fast paced market. She was flexible with us as our "must haves" evolved and incredibly respectful of our budget. Her responsiveness and dedication to finding us our perfect home was unparalleled. It truly felt as though we were working with a friend who was as invested in the process as we were. Wendy really has her finger on the pulse of the Alexandria real estate market, and we would highly recommend her to anyone in search of their next home!"
- Whitney O. & Maggie W."James is wonderful! He managed to get my condo rented in less than 3 weeks. He walked me through every step of the process, was flexible, responsive, and understanding. What a pleasure working with him!"
- Maria M."Working with James was great. He and his wife make everything smooth and easy. We went from looking for a house to moving into an amazing home in a little over a month. Thank you James and Suzanne!"
- Amberleigh L."I've known James Morrison since the early 1970's. He's a bright, personable, very hard working guy. He really knows the territory & an incredible number of people from his many years as a newspaper reporter & editor. These unique assets will serve his real estate clients well."
- Sharon A."Ann was recommended to me by the Realtor that helped me sell my home in Texas. I am so blessed that he recommended Ann because my experience has been great. Ann is very kind, respectful, knowledgeable, and does exactly what she says she's going to do. From creating a portal including homes that meet my criteria to organizing showings a few weeks out to last minute when something came up on my search that I just had to see, Ann makes you a priority. Ann also works with an amazing team that responds quickly and is also knowledgeable so you can get your questions and concerns addressed quickly. I honestly don't believe I would have met my timeline for finding and closing on a new home had it not been for Ann's help. Even after closing, she's still available to answer questions and provide recommendations on who to contact regarding things I need done at my new home. If you're looking for someone you can trust and someone who delivers great customer service throughout the selling and buying process, Ann is the best person for the job. Ann and her network provide everything you need for buying and selling a home."
- Talore Harrison (Buyer - MD)"Buyers Agent and Landlord Rep - Excellent availability, professional service and prompt followup. Knows the ins and outs of the market, and helped us through every step of the way."
- J Lynn."My husband and I worked with Margot for 3 months while searching for the right house at the right price, and I can honestly say she is an AMAZING realtor. She is patient, honest, and so full of knowledge. For anyone looking to sell, buy, or rent, I highly recommend her. She knows the business inside and out, and helps make the best decisions for the families, not the best for her wallet. It was been a long 3 months looking for the right house, and she was right there seeking options, making recommendations, ready with roofers, inspectors, brokers, pest inspectors, reminding us of deadlines, and anything else we may have needed to make the most informed decisions. She set up the appointments for us, followed through with meeting the inspectors if we were at work, and so much more. In my 17 years as a military spouse (quite a few moves), I have never had a realtor this diligent. We stumbled across her when I requested to view 2 houses on Zillow. The first contact hemmed and hawed about scheduling an appointment. Margot call back quickly about one of the houses, and showed us both houses the same day (and many more over the next weeks). As it turned out, neither was her listing, but she was on the ball. I am so glad she replied to our request to view that house. She truly is a gem. When it comes time to move again, I will request she be our listing agent. In the meantime, I will continue to recommend her to everyone that says they need an agent."
- Ariane A."Margot helped us buy our first house! She was very helpful and patient with us throughout the process, which was a messy one and we were glad to have her on our team. She spent tons of time showing us houses until we found the right one."
- Justin H."Margot was a pleasure to work with. She has a genuine personality and does not make you feel pressured to make any decision. We stumbled upon her while looking at rentals and ended up buying our home that was only on the market two days. Margot was available for all of our questions and had great references for projects within the home. If you want someone who will get the job done and doesn't hassle you, go see Margot!"
- Mandy W."Margot created a fantastic and impressive first-time home buying experience for us. She had our vision and preferred characteristics nailed down from the beginning which became increasingly personalized. Margot's extensive connections, knowledge, technique, and resources never fell short. We were hesitant to buy at this time with our busy and demanding work schedules. Yet, her availability at any time and through every means of communication, even during a 3 week/3 hour time difference, made it feel seamless. Her patience and guidance throughout the process eased our nerves while she supported our decisions. Margot never pressured us yet her passion and experience led us to the best results and negotiations. Margot truly made this experience a dream process for any home buyer. The best surprise, and huge stress reliever, was their 14' moving truck we used over four days helping us reduce local moving costs. We never thought closing in 5 weeks with a VA loan was possible; she made the impossible very achievable for us!"
- Veronica G."Margot Lynn went above and beyond to assist us in selling our home and buying our new house. She never pressured us to settle on a property but rather understood and helped search out what was right for our family. Margot often showed us properties that had not yet gone on the market due to her strong connections in the Fort Hunt area. Margot's expertise in negotiation helped us save money at settlement. Margot is a pleasure to work with on all accounts."
- Mica J."I have bought and sold three homes and have not been satisfied with the real estate agents conducting my sale.....UNTIL NOW! I was impressed with Ann from the very beginning. She was upfront and candid with me and addressed all of my questions throughout the entire process. She made sure that she always represented my interests with the buyer and gave me good, sound advice. The services she provides are OUTSTANDING! The professional photographer she brought in to photograph my home was the reason that I got an "above asking price" offer/contract for my home without having an open house! The entire experience from beginning to end helped me manage the stress and anxiety that often comes with a major decision like selling a home. I HIGHLY recommend her and I am so pleased that she was referred to me."
- Henry Johnson (Seller - MD)"Joan Reimann has been a fantastic realtor in all the dealings that she has done for my family. She is passionate and laser-focused on matching customer needs to available properties and will work tirelessly until the customer is completely satisfied and the deal is closed. Even after closing she keeps in contact with the customers, which has always been reassuring to me. I can recommend Joan and will be calling again on her next time I look to sell and buy a property."
- Roberto M., Vienna"Jean Beatty epitomizes what we as home shoppers seek when buying a new home - knowledge, reliability, and trust. She recently helped me close on my new home. In the process, Jean demonstrated expert knowledge on things from contracts and home value to rehab costs and the best paint on the market. Jean had ready-access to the team of specialists whom she would contact immediately for additional information. She was reliable. If she said that she was going to do something it would get done and in a shorter period of time than I expected. Most importantly, I trusted Jean. She looks me in the eye, speaks calmly and plainly, and tells the truth. This was so very, very important to me in the home buying process. I will recommend Jean to my friends and family."
- David N."Like any good realtor, Martha Floyd expertly applied her knowledge of pricing and the local market to ensure the best possible outcome. However, she goes far beyond the technical aspects of the real estate business, and that is what we think places her in a special category. We had to make our cross-country move before the house was sold but felt very comfortable leaving the house and the final sale and settlement formalities in her capable hands. She is a gem!"
- Jeanne Argoff"Joan helped me sell my childhood home after my mother passed away. She was very understanding and knowledgeable and I could not have asked for a better person to help me through this process."
- Gina C., Annandale"Joan was such a game changer!!! We had a terrible experience with another agent and took our house off the market. Fast forward a few months and with a couple of very minor investments, our house was sold quicker and for more than we could have imagined! She was also so fun to work with, bonus!"
- Jacquelyn M., Oak Hill & Vienna"I was a first time home buyer - bought it one year ago in March with limited knowledge on the whole house buying experience. I can't say it enough how amazing it was having someone like Joanie on my side. Not only did I walk away with a DREAM first house, but it was steal of a deal! Because of the amazing miracle work Joanie was able to do, my offer, which was 15k lower than the highest offer still won out because she knew exactly how to structure the deal. Trust me when I say there is nobody better to have on your side! Whether it's your first home buying experience like mine or you're a tenured pro, you can do no better than Joan Reimann. Thank you so much for all your help!!"
- Josh N., Reston"Joan is an AMAZING realtor and friend. She is very easy to work with, honest, energetic and thorough. Just Phone Joan - you won't regret it!"
- Jennifer S., Arlington"Joan Reimann was invaluable in helping to get our house ready for sale, getting top dollar for it and helping to navigate/negotiate the purchase of our new home. Quite simply, outstanding."
- Tony D., Oakton""Barbara is a superb agent extremely knowledgeable and was always available. She has great patience and truly listens to understand what you are looking for.""
- Catherine"Working with Ann made the harrowing prospect of first-time home buying into an adventure with the best tour guide you could ask for. I was nervous and had lots of questions and was so grateful that Ann was cool, calm, and collected and had time to answer all of my concerns."
- Sam Brinton (Buyer - MD)"Two months after my first meeting with Ann, I had sold my condo, above asking price. That alone is worthy of a recommendation. But as a first time home seller, Ann and her team made the entire process a breeze, even as she was dealing with the failing health of her father. When I had my first meeting with Ann, I wasn't sure if I was going to sell my condo; I didn't know what the market would support. Ann came prepared with comps for the past year+, all the paperwork that she'd present at showings, examples of her other listings and expertise. As a first time home seller, I asked a ton of questions. Ann was totally patient. We discussed the work to be done before listing and which repairs would bring the best return. A month later, I was moved out, Ann's recommended contractor had painted and made other repairs and the listing was public. Within 4 days, I had 4 offers, all at or above list price. The entire process of working with Ann and her team was a pleasure. They were easily accessible and walked me through the entire process with patience and ease. I should also say list price was 25% higher than what I had thought the market would support based on previous sales in my building. Ann did her homework, knew the market and felt comfortable that we had the right number. And the offers proved she was right. I would highly recommend Ann for anyone buying or selling in the DC/MD/VA market."
- Beth Blair (Seller - MD)"We can't say enough great things about our recent Old Town Alexandria home buying experience with Wendy - she surpassed all of our expectations. We have purchased and sold 5 homes to date, and can say without a doubt that Wendy is the best! She is a detail-oriented realtor who is always 2-3 steps ahead during the home buying process. Wendy is a great communicator, and we always felt well-prepared and informed during our home buying journey. Wendy asks the right questions, even when they're the tough questions. She is committed to making the experience as smooth as possible. She is a thoughtful realtor who relies on her years of experience to help get her clients across the finish line!"
- Jeff & Molly C."JaneEllen is a professional, full-service agent who produces results. She guided me through the entire real estate process to put my home of 30-years on the market. I followed her preparation recommendations resulting in a quick sale with multiple, above listing offers. JaneEllen is respectful, patient, thorough, and knowledgeable. I hope to work with JaneEllen again and highly recommend her."
- Patricia McCall"It felt like a real partnership, and we appreciate the stellar service and professional guidance that you provided throughout the process. We could tell we were in good hands."
- Kathy Nutt"I can't say enough about what a great experience I had with Joan Reimann and the team at McEnearney Associates. We couldn't have asked for a better agent. Joan was thorough, thoughtful, helpful, and did a great job advising us, managing the project, and locking in the sale of the house at a good price even before it officially went on the market. The reason we picked Joan and McEnearney over another agent we talked to was the project management aspect. Joan had vetted service people and with her assistant, Missy, she managed the house prep. Joan and Missy always went above and beyond to help us through the move-out and house prep process."
- Amy G., Falls Church"Lauren Budik provided excellent service throughout the entire home buying process, always responding quickly, representing our needs and concerns adequately, and making the process go as smoothly as possible. We completed the entire home buying process from a distance, and we would have been lost without her support and guidance!"
- K.A."Ann McClure and the entire team at McEnearney Associates were fantastic and I would absolutely call them first the next time I buy or sell. Ann provided us with incredible support and guidance as we sold our family home during the divorce process. She knows this market inside and out. She gave us options, put us in contact with others as needed and gave us solid, thoughtful advice during an incredibly difficult time. Ann and her team are top notch. I cannot recommend them enough. Unsurpassed service and support. Many thanks to Ann & everyone at McEnearney!"
- Jan Wager (Seller - VA)"Just let me say WOW. Yes: patience, promptness, and pleasant demeanor were all present. Accessibility and gracious interaction with all parties, all contractors, also consistently present. But, having now purchased 8 houses in the last 45 years, what really impressed was the education received. Details- important details- about timing, staging, pricing, strategies, critiquing offers and avoiding pitfalls. While I enjoyed the learning process immensely, the real payoff was the sale itself: multiple offers greater than the listed price, and a walk through those offers to pick not the highest bid, but the best bid- one that settled within 30 days of our open house. This was accomplished despite disappointing- sometimes obstructionist- service from our condo Management Company. My somewhat demanding husband summed up our experience in his own way "Donna is by far the best real estate agent we have ever encountered.""
- K.M."Santiago was our agent for both buying a condo and selling another. He was very accessible, including weekends and evenings, and he regularly checked in just to see how we were. It could have been a stressful time for us, but Santiago put us at ease. We let him do his work and everything came together as expected. He was our listing agent for a condo in Mt. Vernon Triangle, and he got it under contract in one day! When looking to buy, he visited properties to report whether they would meet our criteria, which saved us a lot of time. His skill and wisdom in negotiating were also notable. We wholeheartedly recommend him."
- Theodore (Source)"My wife and I recently sold our townhome and purchased our forever home with the help of JaneEllen Saums from McEnearney Associates. Thanks to her and her business partner, the process went quickly and smoothly. JaneEllen provided sound advice to get our home sold as quickly as possible at the optimal price point, she was patient and thorough in answering all of our (many) questions, and it was clear that she always had our best interests in mind. This was evident by her and her partner's suggestion of creative solutions and their efforts to negotiate the best possible terms of our rent back, for example. The only downside to having completed the process is that we will miss working with her! Without hesitation, I would recommend JaneEllen to family and friends."
- Nicole & Andrea Jacobs"The best of the breed! Lisa guided me through the process of renting my home when I was overseas. We worked through time differences. She went above and beyond her role as a realtor. The day I was leaving the country due to an emergency, I had issues with my moving guy and renting my storage space. She rented it for me. She did a countless number of things that she was not supposed to - but she did because I was in a difficult situation. I would not have been able to rent my place without the outstanding support of Lisa. I would highly recommend her for all of your real estate needs."
- Arundhati "Mimu" G. - Old Town Village Condominiums"Lisa absolutely loves helping folks find their forever home. She is tireless in her search to find you your dream list. And once she delivers, she's still helping with anything you need! She's my forever realtor!!"
- Sher B. - Montebello Condominiums"I would like to take this opportunity to share what a wonderful person & realtor, Tracy Dunn has proven herself to be. Our family was referred to Tracy by another military family/friend who spoke volumes about Tracy's character and charm, so my husband Shawn and I could not wait to meet Tracy. We flew in to the NOVA area to house hunt and only had about 5 days in the area, to find the area that was going to be a perfect fit for our family. We searched high and low and used numerous realtors for different areas throughout those 5 days. We were sold on the Ft. Hunt/ Waynewood community when we had the opportunity to spend time with Tracy. Her love for her community, to which she to resides, radiates all over her professional opinions and it is infectious. We actually trusted Tracy, after spending several days searching high and low for the perfect home for us, to which we came up empty handed at the time but felt comfortable enough that Tracy would keep us up to date and we could trust her to choose a home for us without us actually physically being able to see it! Tracy is special. It takes a special person to listen to their clients needs and wants even when their clients needs and wants may be unreachable. She just has the special touch to keep you positive and motivated to stay the course for the perfect home. Our family could not recommend a better realtor in the NOVA area to help you find your dream home. We finally found our home and thanks to Tracy, we will be living in the area we prayed for. You will not be disappointed by using Tracy Dunn as your realtor. She goes above and beyond and you actually walk away knowing you have a new friend. Tracy is a gem."
- Belinda and Shawn B."Having bought and sold many homes over a 40 year government career, I can say working with Lisa was the best - least painful and most profitable - sale ever. Perfect advice and incredible personal attention sold the home before any listing, and closing took all of 30 minutes. She is by far the best agent ever!"
- Steve & Kathy C. - Old Town Village - Fayette Model"As a military family, we have lived in the DC area several times over the past 20 years. When we decided to focus on finding a home in Alexandria, we spent a year getting to know the neighborhoods and market. Along the way we were very lucky to meet Lisa Groover who is a wonderful combination of fun, cheerful, encouraging and most of all patient. In a highly competitive environment which included more than a couple starts and stops, Lisa's insight, in addition to her knowledgeable and helpful network, made all the difference. We found a perfect home in a perfect neighborhood. Thanks Lisa!"
- Ginger & John L. - Jefferson Park, Alexandria"Five Stars! Lisa was patient, friendly and very knowledgeable. The sellers of my condo were difficult and particular - Lisa was firm when dealing with them - and patient with my frustrations. I'm very thankful to have had her in my corner! I will recommend Lisa to my friends and colleagues."
- Amber H. - ParkFairfax Condominiums"The best agent I have ever encountered. She went above and beyond what we were expecting. I would recommend Bay to anyone."
- Desmond Bollers"Always responsive. Very knowledgeable, knew the market and community. A delight to work with Karin! Very professional. Listened to my ideas, hustled, knew what I wanted to accomplish, made it a very easy experience for me. Karin is top notch! She sold my condo in 3 days, at the price I wanted, after holding an open house. She even helped me with the move out when I realized there was more to do than I anticipated after the moving company left and the final walk-through was hours away. She's the best!"
- Carla Allen"Competent. Knowledgable."
- G. Nejad"Ann exceeded my expectations when it comes to level of service. She's very respectful, knowledgeable, and made me feel like a priority. The resources Ann presented from the company were very detailed. Ann was with me every step of the way."
- Talore Harrison, Buyer"Santiago is a wonderful realtor and worked with us for buying a condo and selling one. He is a skilled negotiator, professional, and very accessible. He helped ease any concerns we had along having candid conversations when needed. As the listing agent for our condo, he was able to get it under contract in one day. We were able to get a signed contract on the purchase of our new condo within days of its listing. He treats you like family and will work hard for your business."
- Aaron (Source)"Sue was amazing. She oversaw repairs at my house, staged it herself, gave me great advice, and sold my house right before Thanksgiving in less than a week for more than my asking price. She went above and beyond and was an amazing resource throughout the process. I really can't say enough good things about Sue Hill. She is knowledgeable and realistic about the market. There were various snafus that she handled with aplomb and good cheer. The work she did getting my house in shape was absolutely above and beyond the call. She was just a pleasure to work with."
- Jennifer Davis"Tracy is excellent! Probably the best realtor I have ever worked with. She is very detail oriented on getting your house ready to list all the way through the closing. Shepherds the entire process. Always reachable and proactive. Neighbors who stopped into the Open House also told me they thought she was great!"
- Joyce N."Huge plug for Lori! She just helped us close on an amazing rental in Del Ray, totally going above and beyond to help us find something perfect. And she dealt with our criteria, search variables and constant changes with so much grace and kindness!"
- Meg F."5 stars isn't good enough to rate Bob Johnson he'll earn 500 stars every day he works with you! First, Bob is a retired AF Officer and former commander. His integrity and ethics are beyond reproach. He is loyal, sincere and has an insanely strong work ethic he's extremely hard-working, for you, to help you. Bob's advise is spot on and he will earn your trust from the moment you meet him. Bob doesn't just do his job - he does so much more to help you! - Bob saw us through contracts on 3 houses over a year and a half and we had to void the contract on two (not his fault) and he recommended voiding (achieving a sale was not his goal) meeting our needs was. While viewing homes, Bob highlighted the negative aspects to ensure we saw the faults- he has a great eye for finding such things. - One void was with a new home builder who was not meeting expectations - he was with us every step of the way over a 9-month process that ultimately culminated with a full-refund from the builder. - For every vendor recommendation he made, he stressed he had no business arrangements with any and his sole concern was getting the best deal for us. - Bob is a great negotiator. - While viewing homes, highlighted the negative aspects to ensure we saw the faults. - Response time was normally minutes (and often seconds) through it all. - We appreciated the substantial military rebate he provided. - Bob did much work outside of his responsibilities - all of which was greatly appreciated! - He arranged for a great Veterans Administration loan rate from out of town lender which beat all the local lenders- nobody believed our rate. - He shopped for settlement companies and saved us money. - Bob made multiple trips for home inspections, mold inspections, structural engineering inspections - when we couldn't be there, he even met with contractors for us at the house we finally bought. - He helped us shop for a loan - Bob queried multiple lenders and highlighted the strengths and weaknesses of the offers - amazing outcome! - He read the homeowners association documents (hundreds of pages) and gave us notes on them. - When I needed to go to the county to research set-backs, easements, zoning ordinances, etc., Bob offered to do it - when I said I wanted to go, he offered to accompany me, to not only assist me, but to record contacts and learn the process to help future clients. - Bob had recommendations about contractors to use and he obtained our input, then made the calls. - He scheduled the inspector to come to the house when we were available. He just did it. On his own. For us. - Bob took photos of the broken window cranks and model numbers. He researched the window vendor ... he spoke with the vendor and obtained pricing on replacement parts to repair the 25 year old windows. Without our asking. He just did it. On his own. For us. - Bob recommended several masons - he had recommendations about who to use and he obtained our input, then he made the calls, scheduled the mason to come to the house when we were available, and performed all of the follow-ups with the mason. Without our asking. He just did it. On his own. For us. - Bob recommended several deck builders - Bob had recommendations about who to use and he obtained our input, then he made the calls, scheduled the deck builder to come to the house when we were available, and performed all of the follow-ups with the builder. Without our asking. He just did it. On his own. For us. - And this repeats over and over, for the structural engineer, roofer, and many others I'm not even thinking about ... Bob handled it. Without our asking. He just did it. On his own. For us. Bottom Line: this review doesn't do Bob the justice he deserves for the amazing effort he put it. He's an incredible realtor and he'll be our agent for life! If you hadn't figured it out yet, we both highly recommend him for your family! Thank you Bob!"
- Rich Seifert"Bob Johnson went above and beyond in helping me sell our property. He is extremely dedicated in providing the best service as well as being very knowledgeable, honest, and prompt in his responses. He provided the best guidance in our favor and was meticulous in preparing and reviewing any documents related to the sale of our property. He made the process very smooth and easygoing. He took the best steps in getting the place ready for open house and it only took one open house for the property to be sold. I spoke with Bob in letting him know what our end goals were and he provided objective feedback and guidance with his expertise. I am beyond pleased with having Bob as our realtor and would highly recommend him as a realtor. I think you would be hard pressed to find a better realtor out there."
- Helen Tin"Tracy is thorough, candid, connected, and creative. We could not imagine working with anyone else to sell our home. She knows the local market and her network is a great asset. Her pre-listing work enabled offer and acceptance with zero-days on the market above list price. Despite her confidence in our listing strategy (which I summarize as get to market early, price at the high end due to low inventory in a desirable location, and create interest through networking), she was prepared for lesser outcomes with great staging, listing, open houses, and the whole nine yards. A bonus was her support through the stressful transition involved in moving out of state and selling from a distance!"
- Wendy P."We have known Tracy for a few years now, we are developers and she was helping us scope out properties. She is very knowledgeable and highly intuitive about the area, she definitely has her finger on the pulse! What separates her from most other real estate agents is she is very honest and selfless and that is, unfortunately, a very rare quality in a realtor. she always gave us correct advise even if it meant no transaction for her. Recently we sold a house with her and she was a superstar, we are overseas on an assignment and she handled everything for us from dealing with our tenants with the move out process to coordinating different contractors to get the house ready for sale and all that in two weeks so we could hit the market early. Which was a perfect educated decision on her part because we had two offers in two days! she is able to do this because of her connections and constant feelers in the industry. She is very responsive and very positive and energetic about her work and life in general.Our family would recommend her without any hesitations! and I'm sure we will work with her again!"
- Rutwa and Anik J."Our family recommends Tracy Dunn for buying, selling or renting a home. Tracy has Alexandria, VA Property and Community Knowledge. Her expertise includes hearing what her clients needs, wants and desires are for the adults and children in a family. She instills "Ambassador Level Skills"! She takes control, in a positive and responsive way, to complete a property transaction. She assists in recommending upgrades/repairs to garnish the right price for the true value of a property. With Tracy, as our agent, we purchased a property in a community that is highly desirable for all that it provides. Multiple offers are the norm. Tracy has experience to navigate the details. Tracy's qualities include: hard working, patience, positive attitude, caring and most of all honesty. It is not just a commission she seeks out. Tracy is a constant professional. What more can you ask for from a realtor."
- Lydia and Joker J."Tracy is a genuine professional and we are grateful she was able to help us find a perfect home In a highly competitive market. As a life time resident of the Fort Hunt area, her knowledge of the area coupled with her extensive network enables her to provide expert advice to her clients. Her straight forward approach friendliness and low stress created an outstanding experience."
- Michael J."Working with Lori has been a phenomenal experience! She is very dedicated and responsive. She takes all of a client's considerations into account and strives to make their dream a reality. Anyone would be lucky to work with her and I recommend contacting her if looking in the greater D.C area."
- Alex M."Laura is highly prepared, patient and professional. Surely what sets her apart is her masterful follow-through; she forgets nothing while ably tracking all that needs to be done. And yet, she never loses track of the big picture: her role as an agent is one of trust. She lived up to that role time and time again."
- H Vieux"This is our fourth real estate transaction with Chris - who we refer to as our "Realtor for Life." As always, her advice is spot on. We followed her recommendations as to upgrades, staging and pricing to the letter and were rewarded with a quick sale. When its time for transaction #5, you know we won't be calling "Ghostbusters" - but Chris Pritchard."
- WS & MJC"We have bought and sold five houses in our day, and Wendy is, by far, the best real estate agent we have ever used. Diligent, energetic, and knowledgeable, she sold our Old Town home within days of listing at the price she told us we could get. We moved away a week before we listed the house, and she smoothly managed the process of getting the house ready for sale in our absence on time and on budget. Our advice: hire her and do what she recommends."
- Peter & Paula G."We cannot say enough wonderful things about our home buying experience with Wendy Santantonio. We are a military family relocating to the opposite coast, and despite the distance, Wendy could not have made working with her any easier. She is an excellent communicator, she is very responsive, and she is the most organized person I've ever worked with. Wendy has a real talent in guiding you through the home buying process in a way that does not feel overwhelming - and trust me - as first time home buyers, we did NOT know anything! She is always two steps ahead, making sure you are prepared and you know what is coming. Because we were flying out for a short period of time to look at houses in person, it was crucial for us to have a realtor who was efficient and would not waste our time. Wendy was respectful of our budget, she always made herself available for meetings or appointments we could not attend, and she lined up showings at every single house we were interested in. We saw 16 homes in two days, all with a toddler in tow, and Wendy's attention to detail and expertise really helped us make our choice. She gave us fantastic advice and always made us feel like we were her only clients, when we know we were visiting at a very busy time of year. Wendy has a way of relating to you so that it feels like she's your best friend, all while also maintaining a professionalism and respect that is rare. She is a true gem and anyone would be lucky to work with her."
- Joe & Noelle S."Within two months of meeting Wendy, my husband and I found and bought the PERFECT new home and sold our previous home. In just two months! We could not have made a better choice than Wendy for both purchasing and selling. Not only did Wendy work tirelessly to ensure that we found a new home that met our expectations, she also intuited how to make our offer extremely appealing, which is key in a competitive market like Old Town Alexandria. Everything was so clear and seamless, and her communication for next steps/actions item could not have been more clear. Equally impressive to me was the direction she took in selling our previous home. We thought begrudgingly that we might have to spend some months paying two mortgages while we fixed up our old place. No so! With Wendy's recommendations for contractors and the timeline she set, we had our house (that we had lived in for five and a half years) market-ready and looking fabulous about 10 days after we moved out of it. Buying and selling a home can be stressful and emotional, but working with Wendy made it an absolute joy."
- Shawn & Brittany W."I had a very positive experience with Bob. I was a first time home buyer without much knowledge about how things worked, and Bob made everything as easy to understand as possible. Whenever I had any questions or concerns, he was very helpful and usually responded within minutes. He was someone who I definitely felt I could trust. If he saw any potential issues with a home, he made them known. He went above and beyond throughout the entire process. Even though he didn't have to, he read through and gave feedback on the 280 page condo resale package, gave great advice on vendors, provided a new smoke detector and other housewarming gifts, and made it clear that he'll be happy to help if anything else comes up in the future. I'm probably missing a few things, but just know that I'm happy in my new home and I have Bob to thank for that!"
- Bryan Matecun"I was introduced to Wendy Santantonio through my brother, who had worked with her when he and his family bought their home in Old Town, Alexandria and raved about his home buying experience with her. As a Foreign Service family posted overseas, buying a home came with certain challenges, not the least of which include not being able to look at houses in-person and difficulties in finding a good time to communicate, given our 9-10 hour time difference. We were extremely lucky to have Wendy represent us. Organized, talented, very responsive and hardworking, she took the time to get to know our family during our FaceTime sessions, provide sound advice, and ask insightful questions that could help her (and ourselves!) bette understand exactly what we were looking for. She worked tirelessly going to every single open house with my brother for 15+ homes we thought had potential, sending us photos and their thoughts and/or FaceTiming with us to show us around some of the homes. Despite the time difference, she responded to emails and calls promptly. She also kept us within budget, walked us through the settlement documents, and sent helpful reminders for deadlines during escrow period. Echoing much of what her other clients have said, she has a way of relating to you so that it feels like she's your best friend and is there for your best interest, while maintaining professionalism. Thanks to Wendy, we now have a beautiful home to come back to when we finish our overseas assignment!"
- Eric & Sunnie H."Working with Wendy was such a pleasure!! As a first time home buyer, she made a difficult process understandable and uncomplicated. She was flexible with my schedule and extremely accommodating. She anticipated my needs in order to help me find the home that was perfect for me. She is so friendly and personable and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."
- Luke H."Kim Fazio was a true professional when it came to our real estate needs and desire to find a home in Alexandria. She met with us initially to understand our desires even though we did not have a time table nor were even sure if we were going to move after 30+ years in one place. Through the time period when we were working on our house, she kept in touch and sent us listings to review. This helped her to get a better understanding of what we liked and did not like. Her patience with us as we took our time in making a decision was very much appreciated. We did not feel pressured at all! Once we had found our dream home, Kim continued to work with us to get through all of the required paperwork. She was in contact with us communicating and coordinating what needed to be done throughout the process. When there were bumps in the process, she diligently followed up and helped us to continue to move forward to a successful and painless closing."
- Alice & Kevin Reilly, Old Town, Alexandria"I have known and worked with Mason Bavin for over ten years and I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a trusted advisor and advocate. I've gotten to see first hand her real estate expertise. Over the course of our years working together, Mason first helped me to buy my townhouse and later helped me set it up as a rental, and then finally helped me to sell it. Having seen all phases of the process while owning this home, I am thrilled to have chosen to work with Mason Bavin and to know that she really does "go the extra mile" for her clients."
- Anonymous"Mason Bavin and Pat Day expertly handled the recent sale of my Alexandria townhome, and I was very happy to have had their experience and support to deftly guide me from pre-listing to post-sale. They knew the local market and were spot-on with their recommendations, from establishing the asking price through negotiating the final contract. I also appreciated their recommendations for options and tradespeople who would ensure the house was market ready. Selling one's home can be an emotionally difficult process, and this McEnearney team worked hard to keep the stress levels low by keeping the lines of communication open-- sympathetically listening to my concerns, explaining what I didn't understand and offering options for ways to proceed. As I had already purchased my next home, they understood I wanted to move quickly with the sale. Only 1 month from listing to recordation of sale; I call that success! If you're looking for real estate agents to represent YOU, I highly recommend the dynamic duo, Pat and Mason."
- Anonymous"This is the fourth transaction with Chris Pritchard and the choice was always clear; Chris was the only choice. Her ability to read the market, understand how to price a house and her thorough knowledge of the real estate market is unparalleled. She could easily double as an expert house stager too. She understands how to de-clutter a home and make it appealing to buyers. The house had a solid offer the weekend of the first Open House. The comfort level of working with Chris is incredible. She is confident, poised, approachable and very talented. I'm sure within a couple more years we'll be fortunate to work with her once again."
- JT"Five Stars!!! We highly recommend Bob Johnson to anyone interested in buying a home from a fantastic agent who puts his clients' interests first. Bob exceeded our expectations and stayed positive and helpful during our long 8-month long search for our family home in Northern Virginia. Bob was knowledgeable, personable, patient, and generous with his time. Throughout our long search, he was always responsive and accommodated our inconvenient schedule. We can't say enough good things about Bob! The process of home buying in the Northern Virginia market was more difficult than we anticipated but Bob gave us excellent guidance and worked hard to make things as painless and straightforward as possible. We would recommend Bob to anyone looking for peace of mind when buying a home."
- David and Sara"We have worked with Martha for over 25 years and have bought and sold with Martha by our side. She is a superb agent and on top of that is a wonderful person with a great sense of humor. Martha is a dear friend and we would never consider making a move without her!"
- A. Williams"Bretta Bombac is amazing. Thanks to her we are closing on the first home we bid on! We were prepared to get outbid, but Bretta's quick thinking and creative problem solving closed the deal. She even went out of her way to drive from the home to our son's intended school to make sure it was a reasonable commute. Best of all, she did ALL of this without ever meeting us in person and without us ever setting foot in the state!!! Choose Bretta and watch her magic happen."
- Jordan W."Kristen is an excellent real estate agent. She has an upbeat attitude in a sometimes stressful job. She always contacted us immediately and worked to obtain buyers quickly. In fact, we were able to sign a sales contract before the house went to market, and she found buyers who took the house without requiring further renovations, thus saving us much time and expense."
- Richard and Elsa H."Bob was a pleasure to work with. He knows the market and is an expert on Arlington. He had wonderful insight as to what was needed to get our home ready for sale and provided us with referrals that were able to get the work done quickly and professionally. He guided us throughout the process and was always available to answer our questions and was available when we needed him. I highly recommend Bob!"
- M. Parsons"Words cannot capture how delighted my wife and I are with Laura Fall. She was diligent, professional, honest, tireless and always available to counsel and comfort us through our home sale and home purchase. We have complete confidence in her and her judgment. I've worked with many realtors professionally and personally and I am 100% certain she is the best. We had a difficult seller on one hand and a difficult buyer on the other. They were very high maintenance transactions. She worked for us without complaint or cessation until both deals we're closed (on terms very much to our benefit)."
- John & Kelly"Laura is great. We appreciate her professionalism and knowledge. Laura is very responsive to our needs; but more importantly we value her expertise."
- Grant & Cindy"Colleen Coopersmith is, undoubtedly, the best residential realtor my wife and I have ever worked with. She has represented us both as a listing and selling agent and, in both roles, Colleen has always given our interests priority. She sold our Old Town digs quickly at a premium and got us into Del Ray before the Amazon and Virginia Tech news turbocharged housing values here. If you're looking to buy or sell, sign her up"
- Matt P."Robin is an awesome realtor. We had a house we needed to sell since we no longer live in the area. The house was on the market for 3 weeks and was sold. She is great to work with and very knowledgeable in the real estate business . She was on top of everything and communicated with us daily. We recommend her highly."
