Once again, he delivered! He worked on my timeline for a fair price- this time doing almost all the work himself. He was great with my dog and kids, came by on weekends when needed and was fine with several last minute requests. We're moving to Alexandria and I'm glad that's in his service area because we will definitely use him again! ------------------------------------------------ I have to give this crew 5-stars. I could not be more pleased. Jim is the owner of the business. He's really friendly and really responsive- he answered my frantic texts and calls on the day of his daughter's WEDDING! But his worker Mr. Miguel is really where it's at. Mr. Miguel is so friendly. He pets my dog, talks to my kids and is really responsive whenever I inquire about a specific task. They have done about 5 days of work at my house and nearly everyday, Mr. Miguel is here until 8 p.m. or later. As I write this, he is on my porch fixing some dry rot by the light of a spotlight and my porch light. Don't worry, I fed him pizza. :) one day, he and the crew worked for an afternoon in the snow! I hired the crew to paint all my outdoor trim and fix a pretty significant amount of dry rot on my window sills and chimney. It's almost all completed and it looks really nice! They worked on a tight timeline too! Their rates are really great... not the cheapest, but still about 300 dollars cheaper than two other companies we got quotes from, and they were able to start just a day or two later. Jim came by today for a final walk-through and I pointed out a couple sections of the sills that I thought needed replaced and not just painted. Mr. Miguel was out here less than 3 hours later to fix it. I wouldn't hesitate to hire this company.

I put my down deposit in October and the 1st renovation for granite tops were completed within a…read morefew weeks. However other renovations took 5 months to complete and the workmanship was either rushed or not completed. Subcontractors didn't use a tarp over the AC/electrical box. The deck had a birds nest on it before/after it was painted, indicating that it wasn't power washed before the paint job. We agreed to use paint that would seal the wood splinters for the deck, he used paint that made the chipping worse. I paid to have the AC unit leveled, he placed a block of wood under it versus use gravel like agreed. The tile job was uneven, so he had his subcontractors redo it using spacers. When it was addressed again that the tile job was still uneven, he realized that the tiles were not the same size and would not fix the issue. Then my bathroom door wouldn't close and the tile job lifted the carpet from the master bedroom. I paid for him to fix my roof, but did not provide me with the contact information of the roofer. After another inspector came to check the work, it was discovered that no repairs were done. When confronting him about this, he did not respond and he kept my money. I waited 5 months after the work was supposed to be completed, it was terrible workmanship, some of the work was never completed, and he kept my money.

If we liked the pictures we often saw the house the same day...frequently the first people to see the house, which on capitol hill, where inventory is tight, makes a huge difference. He's a nice guy, he has experience, and I highly recommend Topher.

We truly appreciated her dedication and would highly recommend Ritu to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable broker. Ritu consistently went above and beyond to ensure everything stayed on track and aligned with our goals. She coordinated effectively with all parties involved and kept us updated at every stage.

She sold our condo in DC in a matter of one week (as the market was extremely slow), and helped us find our dream home. She is reliable, responsive, passionate, and truly understands what we are looking for. She knows the different builders inside out and gives us details on the history of different home models, neighborhoods, and even various upgrades within the homes! Most importantly, she acknowledges how the home will factor into your current lifestyle and thinks of the long term benefits when you're purchasing the home (e.g., young family, recently married couple, etc.). Further, she has a solid trustworthy network that plays to your advantage when you are in the final stages of selling/buying. Finally, she truly cares about you and making sure you are genuinely happy with your purchase. She is not looking to just complete a transaction! The list goes on and on, she is a true gem and worth strongly considering as you start your home selling/purchasing journey! Thank you Ritu!

Never once did she try to push anything on us or drive is to make a decision that would hurt us in the long run. As a matter of fact, her honesty was the missing link we needed to get the home of our dreams! If you are looking to buy, and you don't need the extra fluff, Tricia is the one to go to. Her hard work made this such a smooth transition into our first home and I couldn't be happier! I could only give 5 stars, but I'd love to give 100!

This YELP review is going to look similar to another reviewer's post a few years ago, as it is the…read moreresult of a similar, awful experience but with yet another terrible, unresponsive, dishonest, and thief of a realtor - the realtor in this case is Marga C. Pirozzoli. I rented 1BR in a house in Arlington, VA. I took over someone else's lease, and I lived there for just over one year with three other great, random-Craigslist roommates. We all paid on-time, took great care of the house, and generally enjoyed living there. In July of 2016, 3/4 of us re-signed and we found another good roommate replacement for the guy that moved out. We all signed on the lease. A few days later, Marga Pirozzoli indicated that the lease we signed had some papers mixed up so she sent out another Docusign and voided the original. None of us realized that she included an addendum on the new lease; she never made a peep about the amendment, which is unbelievably dishonest and downright dirty when you're dealing with folks who have done their best to uphold a good relationship with the landlord/realtor company. In any case, she walked away with $500 in some BS "substitution fees" even though the replacement was found by the residents. When I tried to contact her to learn more about what said "substitution fees" were for, day after day, week after week, she said that she would contact me and provide an explanation. It was always, "Oh, I'll call you this afternoon or tomorrow evening", and when I called her office or work phone, it always went straight to voicemail; this went on from August 2016 through the end of September 2016, and now I've had enough. I have accepted that said $500 is a lost cause (as I have already wasted that much of my time worrying about it and making myself available during those supposed times that Marga Pirozzoli was to call me). At this time, I just want to warn the YELP community that American Realty Group and especially Marga C. Pirozzoli are incompetent, dishonest, and unable to do business in a way that is remotely acceptable. I have made sure to give my friends, family, and the extension of that a head's up to AVOID AMERICAN REALTY GROUP and AVOID MARGA C. PIROZZOLI at all costs when searching for a suitable house/apartment in the Arlington, VA region. I recognize that unless folks post these reviews, you just have to experience it to know it - but please, take a lesson from me and AVOID AMERICAN REALTY GROUP and AVOID MARGA C. PIROZZOLI.

Without any reservation, I would give David the highest rating possible and encourage others to use…read morehim as their real estate agent. David helped my spouse and me purchase a home in DC this past January. David was extremely knowledgeable about the entire process. He was patient when we asked a million questions; he was super responsive at all times of the day; he gave us very sound advice when making an offer and counteroffer; he displayed the highest level of professionalism; and he was creative with solutions on how to make my husband and I feel comfortable when a small issue arose right before closing. David is also just a huge pleasure to be around. I cannot say enough good things about our home buying experience and that was due almost entirely to having David as our agent. If you are fortunate to have the chance, work with him!

I am a Realtor in…read moreanother state, and naturally, my expectations of what other agents can offer, are somewhat high. David has definitely exceeded those expectations. He went far and beyond to make sure that we found and actually purchased exactly what we had been wanting to find in Washington, DC. David is an expert on DC neighborhoods and has a thorough knowledge of what is for sale at the moment. He is really good at thinking strategically, which resulted in us prevailing in a complex multi-offer situation on the home we had found with his help. In addition, David is an intelligent and thoughtful individual, who is a real pleasure to be around. If I ever need real estate services in DC in the future, I hope he will agree to be my Realtor.

I actually met David in 2016 when I purchased a home from him (he owned the house). I unfortunately had to sell said home this year, so I asked David Vane to be my realtor. This was the best decision I could have made. David is a pro! He has many years of experience, he is knowledgeable and confident, and quite frankly he gets stuff done! I listened to David and followed his recommendations based on his expertise, and my house sold in 12 hrs (full price offer). After the inspection, there were a few little things I needed to have fixed and I asked David to take care of it. His company works with various contractors (e.g. plumbers, electricians, etc) so I didn't have to make a single call or worry about anything. Once my house was under contract, David and I went out the very next day looking for a new house for me to buy. I found one I liked and David put in the offer that night. His advice to me was crucial during negotiations and I got the house and some closing help from the seller. We had some delays closing on the new house (from the seller's end) and David kept me updated and was in constant touch with the seller's realtor. I now own the house, and David is still helping me arrange for some electrical work to be done. House selling/buying can be a very stressful and emotional process, but David Vane made the experience a pleasure. He knows what he's doing and he is PHENOMENAL! I also had the pleasure of meeting and working with his business partner Michael, who was equally knowledgeable and professional. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Weichert Realtors - New Colony!!
