Bruce was simply amazing! I interviewed 5 local realtors with exceptional reviews and Bruce had the most comprehensive plan to sell my house and DID IT well ABOVE asking price. Dyanne and Bruce were RESPONSIVE and PROFESSIONAL and best of all made selling my house EASY. They LISTENED to our needs and gave us simple recommendations to get the most value. The most important thing was he KNOWS the area and the MARKET. I would recommend him to my mother. Thank you Bruce and Dyanne! read more

I recently sold my house and Chris Walters helped my husband and I purchase our first home together. He actually also helped my husband buy a place prior to us getting married and I was so impressed with his professionalism and willingness to help things get to a satisfactory conclusion I told my then boyfriend at the time that when the time came for me to sell my place I'd gladly list with Chris. He was very thorough in walking us through the process of getting our home ready to put on the market, and even when there were a few minor challenges he worked to get things moving. Working with my husband as we used the proceeds of the sale of my place to buy a place jointly with my husband he was terrific in helping make sure all of the back end pieces were moving and we were able to close on our place as scheduled. Chris was always available to answer questions to. It might be a while before we buy another place but without a doubt, if I'm in the market again I wouldn't hesitate to call on Chris. read more

We loved working with Kat Nissen from Bruce & Tanya! We had previously been provided with a relocation realtor when moving to VA and she was OK, but we were not happy with her availability. Since we were on a tight deadline, we asked around for recommendations on a local realtor and were referred to Kat by a friend that bought a home with her in the past. Kat's availability, knowledge, and charisma made her great to work with. Within a few weeks, she helped us find and purchase a house that met all of our criteria (and then some). Kat was always prompt with the required documents and explained all of the details. We were able to do all except the final signing with the title company digitally, which was a major time saver. We'd recommend Kat to anyone looking to buy a home in the Norther Virginia area. read more

I would definitely not use this firm for future real estate transactions if I could avoid it. We were moving from Phoenix, AZ to Springfield, VA and the house we wanted to rent was listed by this firm. Our Realtor had an awful time getting a response from Jessica McCain. Just as we were moving on to select another home, she responded. Figuring it was just a mishap, we began moving forward. Every step of the way was agonizing. We were under a tight timeline and had a lot of balls in the air. We honestly expected the transaction to move along quickly, but that was not the case. Jessica was slow to respond, her work was sloppy (multiple mistakes on the lease which she took her time to correct), and she made what should have been a quick process agonizing. My Realtor ended up spending a lot of unnecessary time trying to get her to respond and get the lease done. Very inconsiderate. Then, though she required all the funds be sent to her as cashier checks prior to the lease signing, I was alarmed to learn that some time after we moved in my landlord had not received her funds and was having trouble getting Jessica to respond to her. I get it's just a rental and not bringing in the money a sale might, but if you're not going to do the job right, don't take the listing. It's unfair to everyone involved. I now see this agency has responded to my review and I don't want to get involved in an ongoing debate. I provided a review based on my perspective and the facts regarding our interaction with this agency. However, I want to highlight a couple of important points. In their response, Bruce & Tanya say they don't "process" on weekends. I would say that if you are a landlord or tenant you should be careful when selecting a Realtor that they do, in fact, work weekends so that timelines aren't unnecessarily lengthened (if that's important to you). I have been a landlord and a tenant, and I have never encountered a Realtor who didn't work weekends to get a lease processed on my behalf. In fact, my Realtor worked weekends during this transaction to attempt to get the process completed. In the end, what's important is that we have used our Realtor again because we are happy with the service he provides. In contrast, our landlord did not use this Bruce & Tanya again when she rented the home after we moved out. This should be a clear indication of how the parties involved feel this transaction was managed. read more

Responded to an opportunity for an online assessment of my property and made the mistake of providing this firm with my e-mail address and phone number. They are aggressive and relentless. Despite two requests now both by text and e-mail for them not to contact me, they have continued to text, e-mail, and call. I'm totally turned off by this aggressive behavior and would not consider using them as either a buyer or seller. If you see their pitch on Facebook for an innocent online appraisal of your property, stay away!! read more

No. Nope. No way, no how. Buyer/Seller beware. The pitch is as strong as one you will ever receive. The follow through; lackluster at best! Communications, strong to begin with (very attentive) only to cease after they had to forego 50% of commission to close a deal. We would not recommend the RE/MAX Team of Bruce & Tanya or Jessica McCain to represent us for any future transaction. ~billp read more

We selected Bruce & Tanya (after interviewing a few real estate teams) since they seem to have cornered the market in our area. We were paired with Jessica McCain for the Springfield area. She was able to meet with us right away and gave us excellent advice. The photography and marketing materials used for our house were top quality. Jessica was able to work with us on how we wanted to sell our house and got us offers in less than 30 days after hitting the market. The overall experience was great and we were so happy we went with Jessica since we had met with other agents with other companies but she seemed to know the market the best, was not pushy at all and we liked her professionalism. read more

Brian Hunter was great to work with. He assisted us with both the selling and buying side. Brian was responsive, provided solid consultation, recommended professional experts and worked to help us with smooth transactions. We would highly recommend Brian. He is professional, knowledgable and diligent. We were pleased to work with him and would do it again in the future. Thank you, Brian! read more

We used an agent from Bruce and Tanya to look for homes to buy. The initial interview went well, so we hired her. Further attempts to contact and get a response from the agent proved too frustrating, and we had to continually ask the same questions to get a response. We found many homes ourselves, and contacted sellers agents to get the information we couldn't get from our buyers agent. We ended up going with another agent to buy our home once the contract ran out. We too, talked with Jessica at an open house. We would have hired her, but she indicated she was more of a seller's agent. Jessica seemed to know all the details about the home she was listing. read more

We had some issues, bit Bruce and Tanya worked with is to correct them and eventually come to a conclusion.

I had the privilege of working with Kat Nissen, one of Bruce and Tanya's associates. I was relocating from Arizona to Virginia and was attempting to do most of the searching and buying from Arizona. I found the properties in the areas was hoping and flew out to take a look. Kat had everything ready to go the minute my plane landed. She was a joy to be with..fun, informative and knowledgeable. She helped ease a stressful situation. We made the offer and she kept me in the loop about everything. She was always available anytime I called or had questions. I would highly recommend her to anyone! Thanks Kat!! read more

Bought and sold a property with B&T (Katharine Binkley); very good experience overall - her understanding of the local housing environment was excellent and we were extremely comfortable with Katharine working the process through to completion, even though we were overseas. I would highly recommend her. read more

We worked with Katharine Binkley from Bruce & Tanya's agency and we couldn't be happier with the service that we received. Katharine was always very professional, courteous, and most importantly, responsive to our questions. She quickly responded to any questions we had regardless of the day or time. This was our first time buying a house on the market and Katharine helped us navigate through the entire buying process. She listened to our wants and needs and helped us find a beautiful house that we probably would have missed. I would recommend Katharine to anyone looking to buy a house in Fairfax County. read more

We would highly recommend Bruce and Tanya and Associates, especially Chris Walters. We had set up an appointment with him and of course two other agents to decide who we wanted to represent us to sell our home. After meeting with Chris, we cancelled our other appointments! He was professional, knowledgeable, and understanding of the emotional roller coaster we were on as we were selling the home we had lived in for 32 years. Chris immediately put us at ease and explained all the services we could expect from Bruce and Tanya. On the one snow day we had this year, he sent a team out to shovel our driveway and sidewalks and even cleared off our cars! We received a wonderful offer on our house and Chris walked us through the process and kept us informed during all the preliminaries before closing. The whole process of selling our home was easy and quick. Again, we would recommend Chris Walters to anyone who is selling their home. read more

This firm provided negligent service to me as a buyer and terrible disservice to the seller for a transaction in Arlington. The realtors didn't execute on ANY of the agreements that were made as part of the contract. On the day of inspection the state of the house was as it was during the initial viewing. Not surprising given that our agent was not getting any response from Bruce and Tanya despite multiple attempts to contact them. They were disorganized, rude during the transaction to our agent, unprofessional, untimely, poorly coordinated, didn't follow through on the promises made during closing resulting in a significant delay of the escrow payment to the seller. Not only I recommend against using them, if I see their name on any property in Arlington for sale I would talk to the seller directly to find another firm. If you're dealing with them - consider yourself warned and be prepared for a disappointment. read more

Katherine Binkley from Bruce and Tanya & Associates recently sold our home. She went beyond our expectations of what we thought an agent should do. Everyone at the office that we encountered was great. Even when things on the buyers' side got a little sticky, Katherine and the staff in the office stepped up and made sure everything went as smoothly as possible. We are forever grateful for that! I would definitely recommend her to anyone that wants to sell their home. read more

This review is for Sunny Hammerly of Bruce/Tanya remax. Sunny and I are in the midst of our 4th property transaction and has been wonderful over the 6 years we've done business together. She does not do a high pressure approach just to get a commission check fast, she worked as hard on day 170 as she did on day 1 selling my home and when buying she will not let you get yourself into a bad deal. Definitely recommend her! read more

Chris Walters from Bruce & Tanya & Associates just sold our house in Vienna and he did an excellent job from start to finish. He brought in a stager and contractor to prep our house on the cheap, got us an offer within 10 days and powered through some last-minute issues at the closing. His experience and patience really went a long way toward making it an easy process and getting us a great price. He was very responsive at all hours and we'll definitely recommend him to anyone else. Thanks again Chris for all your hard work! read more

I reached out to two local, reputable realtors to compare their marketing plans for selling my home. Both responded quickly; however the Bruce and Tanya team far outpaced their larger competitor. Initially, Bruce assured me he and his team would meet or beat any incentives his competition would offer...and he did on several points (that said, his package was very reasonable). After the first two meetings, I worked with Bruce's associate Chris Walters. I was fortunate. Chris provided me with a list of comparables and recommendations on what I might upgrade to make my home more marketable and the sale more profitable. He then set in motion the process for contractors to provide their estimates in a fashion whereby I could pick-and-choose upgrades that fit my budget (and, based on Chris's recommendation, which would give me the biggest bang for my buck). Chris accompanied the contractors as they surveyed my property and ensured they provided timely estimates. He then took the time to go over each estimate with me. Once I chose the contractors (i.e., interior, exterior, chimney, garage door, etc.), he scheduled their work and monitored their progress. It was a very stress-free process for me. If a question or concern arose, I simply contacted Chris and he would address it both expeditiously and satisfactorily. I couldn't have asked for more. As the contractors were finishing up their work, Chris continued his by ensuring to update me on the latest comparables, posting the "for sale" signs, hosting an open house, sending me prospective buyer reviews / comments, etc. Long story short - I received an above asking price offer within the first week and closed shortly thereafter. If you're looking for a no-nonsense, knowledgeable, experienced and dedicated realtor look no further than Bruce and Tanya; if you're lucky, you may get Chris! P.S. Did I mention they assisted my daughter's move from our house into a nearby apartment by providing a truck and personnel! read more

I have bought and sold many homes and I can say, without reservation, that my experience with Bruce and Tanya, and specifically our agent, Chris Walters, was the best - ever! Chris was professional, knowledgeable, and always responsive. We sold our home in just six days because Chris went the extra mile to get the best results. This team really knows how to sell a home. They have great signage, internet coverage and their flyers and brochures are outstanding to showcase the property. I strongly recommend Chris Walters with Bruce and Tanya and Associates. read more

Can not say enough good things about Bruce as a person and as a businessman. He oversaw our home sale with both care and sensitivity. When things were not going as planned he took a personal interest in getting things back on track, always having our best interest at heart. The office manager, Shelly Martin is a gem and was always available to help where ever needed and always got fast results. I can not tell you how much it meant to me and my wife to deal with a company that has a person at the helm that has a high degree of integrity and you can totally trust. read more

After looking for a house for 2 years and working with 3 agents I finally met Kat Nissen, who found our dream home in 1 day!!! Being a first time home buyer I was really nervous, but Kat was by my side night and day and made the process seamless. I can't say enough good things about Kat and the Bruce and Tanya team.....We love our new home! read more

The most wonderful experience we have ever had when selling a home! Chris Walters was the agent representing us from Bruce and Tanya's ReMax office. Chris came to our home and discussed the process with us at length...his expectations and ours during course of the sale. He was thorough and attentive during the entire time, returning texts and phone calls within minutes! The best part was that he got full-asking price on our home, even when it was put in the market in November! I wish we could have brought him with us out of State when purchasing another home! read more

We highly recommend the Bruce & Tanya team. Lots of issues came up during our sale -- along with problems on the purchase of a house in another state -- and the various team members took great care of us. Each team member appears to have a specific function which they know very well. They were extremely responsive to all of my requests, and very polite at all times. We used some of their recommended people (moving company and contractor for inspection items), and they got the job done very well, too. Some emergencies came up, and we were able to speak directly with Bruce to get a resolution. Highly recommended! read more

Honestly I never really take the time to write reviews but this experience we have unfortunately had with this real estate company has been the worst experience I've ever had with any business and I hate to even give this "company" even 1 star. We had the WORST experience in trying to sell our home with them. Not only hasn't it sold (and we've recently fired them) one of their agents Jessica broke into our house and allowed someone to steal from us(we have it on camera) She also did other things i will not mention because there is too many to mention but both me and my husband contacted the owners both Bruce And Tanya multiple times to try and get this resolved. Tanya never even called us back and Bruce just seemed to make excuses for his agents wrongdoings. I honestly have never witnessed such unprofessional behavior in realty in my life. Even other realtors that came by with their clients commented on Jessica's unprofessional behavior. I will never re use nor recommend this realty company at all. This experience has honestly been hell because of them. After 5 months of their mess ups and lies we finally fired them and found a new realty company that we love! read more

I am very happy to write a review for realtor Denise Johnson. My husband and I have always rented due to frequent traveling with careers, but are lucky enough to have the opportunity to settle for a while. Once we contacted Denise with our wish list, she immediately responded with pertinent questions to help her narrow her search for us. House hunting from across the country was stressful , but I felt so much better after contacting Denise. She made sure I was searching the most up to date websites as well as receiving the realtor listings. She responded to all my texts , calls and emails quickly. I had the opportunity to come to VA to search but was only available for one week and then had to return to my previous home. Denise made sure that my time available for her was well spent and efficiently mapped out. She not only provided me with a fantastic number of homes to tour, but she also gave me a tour of the neighborhoods I had expressed interest in. She explained the amenities, school district assignments as well as proximity to public transit. Denise always made me feel better about my timeline and assured me that she would continue the hunt if my week did not present "the one". As luck (and an excellent realtor) would have it, I was able to find my home and absolutely love it. I would highly recommend Denise Johnson to anyone searching for a home who enjoys working with professional, efficient and genuinely kind people. Although you will not be...Denise will make you feel like you are her only client. She is great! read more

Kat Nissen and the Bruce and Tanya team are unmatchable! Bruce arranged for a stager to come to the house at no charge to us, but it was really his knowledgable advice that made our house truly color brochure ready. Small details he noted and insisted were necessary made a huge difference and, no doubt, helped to bring top dollar for our home when we sold. What is more, the house was under contract in about a week for more than we had hoped or thought possible given what was a slow market at the time. On the buying side, we were hesitant to go within a buter's agent who was not one of "the agents" in the neighborhood we were targeting. Of course, when you are as amazing as Kat, you do not need to restrict your talents to one neighborhood! She proved to be the agent who could win us a house in a market that was bringing in multiple offers before open houses above and beyond list prices. She knew how to navigate the market, work with the selling agents, and constantly communicate with us about what was going on. Because of Kat, we won the house we wanted despite an offer that was originally better. We will undoubtedly call the Bruce and Tanya team for future real estate needs - and we will request Kat! read more
