Great service, sound advice!…read more Leyla helped me buy my first home in Logan Circle back in 2010, and Denny helped me sell it in January when I moved out of state. Leyla was super helpful and attentive and walked me through every step of the process so I could focus on what I wanted and not get lost in the transaction. And she was terrific about helping me narrow down my choices and criteria, and then zooming in and working hard to find me options once I settled on exactly what I wanted. I had total confidence in Leyla, and that made all the difference in the world, especially in a highly competitive market. Without telling you what to do, Leyla will give you the advice to get what you need at a price you can afford -- and in a way that takes the stress out of the process. Denny is also great. Along with assistance from both Leyla and Buddee, Denny made the selling process easy -- which was exactly what I needed as I was already mostly living out of state. And he helped me make some hard choices and navigate the market at a complex time, especially with COVID and its impact on the condo market. My wife and I first met Denny when we got together with him and Leyla back in 2016 as we first thought we were going to move. Turns out it took several years before we were ready -- and they picked up where we had left off without skipping a beat.

Denny and Leyla were my realtors and led me through my first home-buying adventure. I'll be honest,…read moregoing into this I knew very little about the whole process but they guided me through everything, explained each step along the way, and were always able to answer any questions I came up with or provide clarification when requested. Knowledgeable, attentive, and caring don't even begin to describe these two. They are AMAZING people and are not only great at what they do but also a great pleasure to be around and work with. When you're working with them, you know you're being well taken care of and it truly shows. When it comes time for me to buy/sell again in the future or if any friends or family are in the market, I can guarantee I'll be referring them over to Denny and Leyla. Thank you again!

Greg is a highly skilled professional in the real estate business, especially in the Ashburn community of Belmont Country Club. When we wanted to move there 6 years ago, we followed his home upgrade & staging advice to the tee, which resulted in the selling of our Ashburn Village home the day before it went on the market! More recently when we needed to move again, Greg assisted us in finding a home in another community and helped us sell the Belmont home in 10 days. His advice, along with the expert help of Kris Reed their team designer/stager, has been spot-on in every situation. It is with all confidence that we highly recommend the Greg Wells Team!

We recently worked with Lara Hopewell to buy our new home in Loudoun County and she was awesome to…read morework with from day 1. She spent time giving her perspective on the market and easing my concerns about getting started before we had a formal contract with her. She was willing to see many houses throughout our search as we looked at too small and too large homes until we found one right in the middle. Lara was fun to work with, she was always upbeat and helpful. More than anything we felt like Lara was 100% focused on our needs as a family, not about closing a quick deal, not about optimizing her commission, and not about what would have been easy. She felt like part of our family and that she was as invested in finding the right thing for us as we were. She was always thinking strategy for us when she saw we had some interest in a home, and her communication with the other agents was awesome as this approach helped us gain insights and positioning. She talked us through the strategy to make our offer to win against 7 other buyers and we still felt like we got great value for our home. Our only regret is that we used a different agent to sell our prior home and it would have been much smoother and more positive experience with Lara by our side! We also worked with Kim and Kristina at different portions of the closing process and both were great, they were communicative and responsive and gave great information when we had questions.

One of the biggest frustrations was that they essentially refused to actively market the property until it was completely vacant, prioritizing convenience for their process over minimizing vacancy time and protecting rental income. Any experienced leasing operation should be able to coordinate marketing and showings while tenants are still occupying the property. Their agreement also allows them to add markups or coordination fees when using their preferred vendors, which quickly makes routine maintenance more expensive. Many interactions felt more administrative than consultative -- forwarding emails, asking me what to do in situations where I expected property management guidance, and pushing decisions back onto the owner rather than proactively managing issues. For the fees charged, I expected more strategic guidance, stronger leasing execution, and more hands-on management overall.

Five years ago I talked with my husband about the possibility of moving away from DC because I was…read moreintimidated by the real estate. I didn't think it was for me. Property here is expensive, confusing, and competitive. And then we found Harry. He taught us so much, and gave us the confidence to not only purchase our first property, a condo, but later our forever-home in our dream neighborhood. He truly turned one of my biggest anxieties into one of our proudest accomplishments. Harry is a seasoned real estate professional who grew up in DC and has worked as a realtor this area since 1994. We worked with Harry for three transactions - purchasing our first condo in McLean Gardens, DC in 2015, then selling that condo and purchasing a standalone home in Kent, DC in 2018. I can't tell you how many times people have told me my husband and I have "gotten lucky" with real estate. I tell them we didn't get lucky - we hired the right realtor. Transaction #1 - Condo Purchase in 2015 When my husband and I decided to stop renting and purchase a condo in 2015, we had an initial meeting with Harry to discuss the process, our finances, our goals, and our desires. Harry is smart, organized, a good listener, and a hard worker - everything a buyer wants when they're placing their future in someone's hands. He's not at all pushy or salesy. He set us up to receive email notifications every time a property in our desired neighborhood became available. Often within hours of condos coming on the market, I would email Harry and request time to visit it. On almost every occasion he was with us checking out condos within hours of the listing going live - providing us with a necessary edge in a competitive market. When we found our dream condo just two months later, we needed to act fast. Harry not only visited the property with us on three occasions in three days, but was able to dedicate a few hours to walking us through the process of placing our first offer and all the necessary paperwork we needed to complete once that offer was accepted. He made sure we didn't miss any deadlines, connected us with a local, reputable lender and home inspector, got us all set up for the appraisal, then taught us about mortgage payments, escrow, and all of the other terms you may not understand the first time you're buying something. There's a lot of paperwork, and he went through every document with us. Closing went smoothly. Transaction #2 - Home Purchase in 2018 Harry next helped us go under contract for a home the week of our wedding. Which was in Maine. And the house was in DC. I can honestly say I would never have felt comfortable making as big an investment as we did in our current home without having had the previous experience we had working with Harry. We trust him. Upon finding the home, we contacted Harry and asked him to check out the property with us. On a day's notice over a holiday weekend, he was there. We spent a couple hours at the house, and he worked with us for hours that afternoon (this is on a day's notice!) to put in an offer. The offer was accepted and we hit the ground running. Harry worked with us to get all paperwork and negotiations in order and to conduct a lengthy inspection as we literally began our drive up north to get married. Think you can't buy a house and get married in the same week? Well you can - and Harry made it happen! In addition to helping us negotiate a below-ask offer on our home, he also was able to negotiate a significant closing credit for us since the inspection (with his recommended inspector) was conducted so thoroughly that some otherwise difficult-to-detect structural issues were found. He got quotes from local contractors on costs around these fixes so that when we went back to the sellers to request the credit, they agreed right away. Yet again, closing went smoothly. Transaction #3 - Condo Sale in 2018 As soon as our offer was accepted on the home we purchased, Harry set up a meeting to go over how we'd like to market our condo and when it should go on the market. Harry created an extremely customized book of information on the neighborhood and historical condo sales based on the size of our unit, layout, updates, etc. We discussed the listing price and time. We discussed staging vs. not staging. He recommended a staging professional to us, a painter, hired a professional photographer for the listing photos, and coordinated everything so it ran smoothly yet on a very specific timeline. We listed the condo on the market, and it went under contract in just four weeks for $8,000 over asking. We received a single offer at full ask, and Harry strategically called all previously interested parties which resulted in another offer, a bidding war, and a final close price significantly higher than we expected. Harry helped us act quickly, informed us so we could make intelligent decisions, and guided us. We always understood exactly where we were in the process, and closing went smoothly.
