He consistently goes above and beyond for his clients and never looks for shortcuts.

From contract to closing, his attention to detail, professionalism, and dedication are evident in every transaction. I highly recommend Greylin Thomas to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, hardworking, and client-focused Realtor in DC, Maryland, or Virginia. His clients are in excellent hands. -- Wes Hobbs, FitzGerald Financial Group

We've used Greylin to buy and sell 3 properties in the District. My favorite Greylin moment was…read moreprobably during the first purchase of a home. We had submitted an offer and the seller was waffling and... I'm not sure that magic Greylin worked but the next day we had the deal closed. On later houses, we also really valued Greylin's eye for interior architecture and how we could best use the space. We love the contractor that he connected us with to tune up our place (not sharing contractor name, don't want him to get too busy). We're now in the middle of our 4th real estate transaction with Greylin and really grateful to have his support during this challenging and confusing time for real estate!

We first met Rob and Brent 8 years ago when, after a year of searching for a home in the DC area,…read morethey helped us find the perfect home in Old Town, Alexandria. They were patient and professional, while we went through multiple properties before finding what was right for us. Fast forward eight years and Rob & Brent helped us sell this same home in what for us was an effortless transaction. As out of state residents, they and their team made every effort to help us not only on the sale mechanics, but every step of the way with high quality vendor recommendations and personal assistance when we were in need. We have bought and sold many homes over the years. Rob & Brent's professionalism, integrity, and character - always putting clients first - is truly best of class. We consider ourselves very lucky to have had them represent us and even luckier to be able to have them as friends as we move onto our next chapter. We would recommend Rob & Brent without hesitation. They truly are the best!

Both Alex and Martine Irmer helped us both buy and sell in Old Town Alexandria. We couldn't not recommend them more! If we could have them for our future transactions (we're moving out of the area, we 100% would. Both Martine and Alex were very professional, gave us the upmost confidence in their knowledge of the markets, and served as a good advisor and friend through, what can be, a stressful process. I would argue they have the top pulse on the Old Town market, knowing block by block which homes are worth the value. In some cases, they had previously sold the homes and were intimately familiar with the history, the work done (especially in the case of renovations and flips), and past issues or complaints about the location. Alex went above and beyond to show homes in the market in two days, seeing over eight homes! He worked hard to show the pros/cons of each property, educate us on the inventory, and guide us to the right choice. In both the buy/sell negotiations, you NEED Martine Irmer on your side. She's very smart about real estate transactions, will defend you as a buyer/seller, and knows the landscape well. I would recommend to anyone out there looking to buy or sell, give Martine and Alex a call and talk with them about your goals, intentions, and plans. We happened upon Martine at an open house and we're forever grateful for it!

The Irmer Group recently assisted me with the sale of my Old Town home. Because I had already…read morepurchased a home before I put mine on the market, I was anxious about the process. I could not have been happier with the competent advice and level of service the Irmer Group provided, or more impressed by the way Martine Irmer fiercely advocated for our interests. They began by helping me identify the most cost effective and appropriate repairs and updates on our 120+ year old home to ensure a good sale price. They even assisted me in finding a reasonable and responsive contractor to do the work when my initial contractor fell through. They were excellent in communicating about the process, always listening to my concerns, and ensuring I knew the next steps and what to expect. They were also always available when I had questions, providing timely and insightful responses. We were impressed by how proactive they were in assisting us in finding the right buyers for our historic home, which came with all the quirks (uneven floors, etc..) of Old Town homes. Our home sold above the asking price on the first day we accepted contracts. When our first buyers unexpectedly decided to breach their sales contract, Martine Irmer did a good deal of hand holding and gave me valuable advice on how to proceed. Despite the hiccup, as soon as it went back on the market, our home sold again above the asking price in a timely manner. I am thankful we had such experienced and competent realtors to assist us through the complicated process. Knowing that we had someone we could trust and rely upon made all the difference. I highly recommend the Irmer Group. Their years of experience and passionate advocacy for their clients were a reassurance when the process unexpectedly got complicated and helped us obtain a positive outcome.

In Oct 2020, Arynne marketed the sale of my neighbors house, closing $39k over the asking price; an…read moreoffer was made and accepted within two weeks of hitting the market. I knew then that I wanted this type of agent in my corner whenever I decided to sell my rental property, so I reached out. At the time, my property inhabited freeloading tenants using the pandemic public health emergency (PHE) to their advantage [and did so for over two years]. I explained my situation to Arynne and appreciated her keeping in touch, occasionally sending me updates re the PHE and what local legislators were doing. Fortunately, I got repossession of my property in May 2022 and our journey together began. My greatest concern before working with Arynne was not getting my property back, restored, and sold when the market was still good. Fortunately, my concern didn't come to fruition and everything worked out. The best part of working with Arynne was connecting with her on a personal level and her professionalism, she essentially did what she said she was going to do. I really appreciated her connecting me with several contractors, providing helpful suggestions on home decor, keeping me updated, obtaining pertinent documents on my behalf, and overall making the process easier. Accepting an offer and closing, respectively, within three and six weeks was our greatest achievement. I have learned that choosing the right broker, pricing the property right, and knowing the marketing plan upfront will save you money, time, and undue stress. The best advice I'd give someone considering a move would be to get an agent with experience, who understands the market, and acts in their best interest. Arynne's efficient, understanding, and will do her part in getting your property sold as quickly as possible. I'd gladly refer Arynne Crane to anyone interested in purchasing or selling a property. - Tori

When her husband died, I offered to sell at the same time to help her get the best price, it was a good enough time to sell for me and she wanted to move on. The flood of low offers: 100k, 200k, even 400k less than our homes were worth! Again, oh my goodness!! We needed a realtor who was going to fight for us. Thankfully, I knew Arynne! She worked the phones, did her research, worked her contacts, was there for everything we needed. She got us an offer 200k more than anyone on our block of townhouses at that time! When my tenants refused to move (and to pay, that is a whole story unto itself), she stayed with us and kept the deal going. In the end, a good sale at a good price for all. Arynne Crane was the realtor we needed at the time we needed her and she worked a deal that won for all of us!

As I was in from out of town, he helpfully drove us from home to home, pointing out interesting things about each neighborhood during the journey. He was very responsive - which is invaluable when your buyer is overseas in a timezone 7 hours ahead of yours! We found our forever home through him, but if we need to purchase an investment property in the future, we will definitely return to John!

They helped me refinance my property and alerted me to several bank related issues which really, weren't even their problem. It all went great, property refinanced. Alasgar "Ali" also mentioned if we ever wanted to sell our condo, to speak to him. So we did the following year. We were concerned about not having enough equity to proceed with the sale. Ali worked out the numbers, took a good look at the property and helped us make some changes to ensure that we got top dollar for it. We had an offer the first weekend. Digital Closings helped us out with closing. The entire process was flawless. The buyer was using their own title company. Digital Closings made sure we were both on top of everything so there would be no surprises at the end. I was so please, I referred Digital Closings and Ali as an agent to a neighbor. Long story short, the business is a legend in my condo building. In 3 months, they had 4 units sold, all units that needed some attention to make sure the owners walked out with money in their pocket. I encourage you to bring your story and issues to Ali. He will give you a great solution as long as your expectations are realistic. I am extremely please with Digital Closings as I gave my personal word to my close neighbors and they did not let me down. Friendships could of been lost over a bad recommendation. They are now stronger. I'm hoping they soon take some time and also put up reviews to back this one up but more importantly, to thank Ali for doing what many agents and title firms will not do for you since their priority is for them to get paid first, your needs second.

I became connected to Shanika through a recommendation to use Harrison and Coalition Properties from a friend. Shanika is knowledgeable about neighborhoods, real estate trends, and very well connected. Not to mention, has a confident ease and very personable. You can see that Shanika wants you to find your home, more than just make a sale. Early on, I said I was willing to look and live all over DC, but really wanted to stay in NW, love natural light, wanted a 2bd condo and near "things". (I don't have a car). Shanika listened to me, watched carefully when we went to see condos, started to underhand my likes and dislikes, and never made me feel silly with all my questions and lack of knowledge. We communicated regularly via text/phone and using a particular app, she was able to see they types of places I was interested in. I saw a condo that was going on the market in a few days, we saw it before it went live... and the rest is history. The Coalition Properties Team hand held me( literally) through the entire process. I was also getting EHAP/HPAP monies making it a bit more difficult. They were on it. I was so impressed and thankful. I also love that they work with and support many black owned businesses and contacts. (Shoutout to Tracey on the closing team at coalition, Kendall my lender, and Sheldon the inspector!) So, to say it long. I had a wonderful experience working with Shanika. I put an offer on and purchased my first condo. A 2bd/1ba in Columbia Heights. I'm a homeowner y'all.
