Over the last two decades I've owned and managed several rental units in Reston and for much of…read morethat time Mark Wilson, a man I've known and worked with for many years, helped me in vetting tenants, negotiating leases, and acquiring maintenance assistance when it was needed. It was always a smooth process. So when it came time to finally sell the final property there was no question in my mind who I would turn to handle the transaction. The sale was made as part of a 1031 Exchange which takes special expertise and Mark brought this and much more to the table making the entire process as efficient and as transparent as possible. His market analysis and subsequent contract negotiation was on the mark - pun intended - and we brought the sale to close in record time. Timing was important because of the Exchange requirements which necessitate closure within some very strict parameters. To assist in this Mark referred me to an excellent colleague of his in my acquisition market - Richmond, VA - and that proved key in making the entire process work. What could have been a tricky - and costly - procedure went very quickly and very smoothly. My time in the Reston market both as a resident and investor has now come to a close but were that ever to change Mark would be the first person I'd call to get it taken care of. He is a person of integrity whose opinions I value, skills as an agent I admire, and recommendations I have faithfully and profitably followed. If you're in need of a truly professional real estate agent, I highly recommend him to you. He does not disappoint. Thanks Marks!

I have worked with multiple real estate agents over the years. There is no comparison to the value that Melinda has brought.

Additionally she left the country during the sale of the house and never told me that she was thousands of miles away for the closing. She said she had "other commitments and would be available by phone for the closing"! In fact, she was in a time zone seven hours ahead of Eastern Time and not readily available at all. She left Dan Metcalf in charge and if I called him, he would tell me that he wasn't the listing broker. The pièce de resistance was him leaving a message with the Title Closing Officer that I "wasn't nice" I have a photo of the message if anyone wants to contact me privately to see it. These people were supposed to be representing me! I had some questions the night before closing and instead of speaking to me, Judi & Tamar responded by threatening me with legal action accusing me of being in breach of contract if I didn't go to the closing in the morning. Gali, the supposed owner, left me a text message or email while I was driving to the closing asking if I was going to the closing and if she should come. I saw it when I arrived at the closing. I responded immediately that I was at the closing. She called a little while later screaming at me that her time was valuable and did I want her to come from Takoma Park to Rockville. I said I did. By the time she arrived the closing was finishing up. She did not say one word to me and no one from this group got in touch to even offer congratulations on the sale of the home. I strongly suggest that you look elsewhere for an agent. They are only interested in cashing your check

Selling a property is such a stressful situation because it involves a lot of processes and balancing between selling the current house and buying the next home. Brian and his team are extremely responsive. They are knowledgeable about various processes and stayed on top of everything. They really made the selling our current house and buying our next house a seamless process. During the selling of our house, Brian's market strategy landed us 10+ showings with in the first few days and an official offer the second day on market. We ended up accepting that offer since we are getting the full price we've asked for. On the buying side, I worked with Jenn on Brian's team. She is very responsive and knowledgable about the area we are buying and helped us obtained all necessary information for us to make the final decision on which house to buy. Throughout the period after we put an offer on our next house, she proactively communicated with the sellers, my lenders, various other parties, e.g. Title company, home inspector... to make sure everything is progressing. We bought the house without any hiccups. I highly recommend Brian to make your life a lot easier during the selling and buying.

While I had the idea in my head for a long time, last year I found myself seriously starting to…read morelook at homes after feeling like I was in the right place financially and life-wise to take this step in my life. Brett and I knew each other growing up, and while we had not had contact in several years, I knew that he was a stand-up guy and I thought I would take a chance and engage him as my realtor as things began to get more serious. I knew from the horror stories of family members how these things can go wrong, and I wasn't sure if it was going to work, but hey...you have to start somewhere. Now I can say emphatically that this decision paid off in ways I could not imagine, and I was impressed beyond belief with the services that Brett provided during the time we spent looking for and eventually purchasing the home that is every bit as perfect for me as I could have dreamed. I had unique requirements. I was looking for something with some history, in a specific location, for the right price. Something within my price range that satisfied my needs and gave me some room to grow in a tough area to find that in. A very tough job...after some searching, less than I anticipated...we found it. I didn't expect to make an offer when I did, but Brett called to let me know that other offers were coming in, and it was now or never for this property we had seen and loved. When I decided to make an offer, it was Brett's advice and experience that structured my offer in a way that beat out two other sellers but without an unnecessary increase in price. We ended up coming in with an accepted offer that was only a touch above the nearest competitor. I don't know much, but in the real estate world, to me, that seems like threading a needle...especially in the area we live in. When I first engaged Brett, he was very upfront about the process, about what to expect, about how this works, and about the ways in which we would navigate this process together. As a first-time homebuyer, this stuff seems scary. In Brett, I found someone who knew how to advise me, help me through the tough parts, and provide valuable insight on the decision I was making which to me was one of the largest decisions of my life to date. What's more is that through the process, he is extremely communicative. You always know where you stand, what you need to be doing, and he will always field that "good lord what am I doing" phone call at any time. I never felt alone or unsupported. I had an agent that was clearly working in my best interest every step of the way. Brett's strategy is about relationships. He builds these relationships with selling agents, inspectors, appraisers, and everyone else you need to go through the process. I got an unreal mortgage rate through Brett's connections, a home inspector who cared and really showed me what I needed to know about the house now and down the road as I continue to maintain it, and an appraisal that was accurate and allowed the deal to move forward. His excellent communication and followed through with the selling agent, and followed-up at the perfect times. He demonstrated a willingness to live up to his end of the deal that won over the selling team quickly and made for a pleasant and meaningful transition from one owner to the other. I can say with no hesitation that through Brett's expertise, experience, and ability to work with others and win them over, that I got the best deal I could ever have possibly gotten. In retrospect...I am blown away. Guys...hire this man. Seriously. You will not regret it.
