This letter will serve as my very high letter of recommendation for real estate agent and broker…read morePhilippa Main. She assisted my brother and me with the sale of our parents' home in April 2022. I have worked with many real estate professionals on several transactions over the years and can say with confidence that Philippa is one of the best I have ever used. Philippa has the qualities that make her an extremely successful and effective agent. We found her extremely knowledgeable and well-attuned to the super fast-changing market of early 2022. She was always attentive to our concerns and very responsive to questions, often responding immediately no matter the time. She showed great attention to detail enabling the sale to be made in less than a week. Our mother had recently passed away and we were raw with grief. Furthermore, we live in California, so it was even more important that we could rely on someone like Philippa to take the reins from beginning to end and that is exactly what she did. She was able to interpret and solve all the questions pertaining to our mother's Trust without the need for outside lawyers, and this was a great convenience to us. We also feel that we got the highest price possible for the house based on her pricing strategy and advice. Philippa exceeded our expectations in every way. The sale went very smoothly and we closed on time. I would not hesitate to recommend Philippa to anyone in need of a listing agent or for the purchase of a home. We interviewed three other agents before deciding on Philippa and she did not disappoint. Every detail was perfect, from the fantastic professional photos, the listing description, to the impeccable transactional aspects leading to the close of escrow. In a nutshell, she is a top tier professional, intelligent, tenacious, fun and talkative, bright and conscientious. If you need an agent/broker then hire Philippa Main. You won't be disappointed.

Attention to every detail was really important to us and John is very talented in tracking all parts of the buying/selling process. He worked diligently to lay out all our options as well as contacting all pertinent parties to keep the timing of inspections, home visits, and closing on track. His negotiating skills really assisted us in being able to get exactly what we needed on our home in order to purchase the home of our dreams. If you want a realtor with experience and drive to help you get what you are looking for, we definitely recommend John Montemayor.

If you are looking for a realtor, look no further. Laura is the ONE! My husband and I were…read morefirst-time home buyers buying a condo in Arlington. Laura was recommended to us as a top agent in the DMV area with impressive transaction volume each year. Although we identified multiple agents through our search, we immediately decided to work with Laura after our initial video call because we were impressed by her knowledge of the local housing market and all aspects of real estate transaction. We are so grateful that we did! We were buying a condo in a very competitive area. Every time when we made an offer, we had a competing offer and had to act very quickly to make our offer more competitive. Laura worked around the clock to prepare the comparative market analysis, tour the units with us, crafted and advised us on compelling offer terms and negotiated with the seller agents. Our closing had some extra complexities due to the condo building's financing approval being expired. Laura skillfully helped us navigate this issue. She proactively included relevant language in our offer to protect us from such financing issue before we even knew there was an issue with the condo building. After we discovered the issue, Laura was in constant communication with the seller's agent, condo building and mortgage broker to speedily resolve the issue and ensure we could close on time within 3 weeks. Laura's price prediction and recommendations were spot on when we submitted our offer. She recommended us to adjust our offer to a certain price to increase our chance of sealing the deal at our offer price (instead of activating the price escalation clause and resulting in us paying a higher price). We were able to be the winning offer because of Laura's excellent communication skills and expert advice. We followed Laura's recommendation and did not have to pay more than our offer price for the condo. The appraisal ended up being higher than our purchase price. We are grateful that Laura helped us secure our dream home at a great price. Laura was extremely responsive and patient. We had a lot of questions as first-time home buyers. Laura patiently answered all of our questions at any time of the day. Despite her busy schedule, she accommodated our challenging schedules and requests under short notice every single time, which enabled us to close our home with great success. We could not have asked for a better realtor to share this home purchase journey with. Thank you Laura for being an outstanding, caring and dedicated realtor!

This deserves ZERO STARS!!!!…read more Property Management is the WORST!!!! Everything that was to be taken care of prior to us signing lease agreement and moving in was not. The water, electricity and gas were supposed to be turned on and the house was supposed to be professionally cleaned. We were told everything was taken care of when we picked up the keys. We arrive at the house and it's CLEARLY not been professionally cleaned, the water and gas were still not turned on. The "professional cleaner" according to property management was there for 5hours the day prior.....well how do you clean a house esp bathrooms without any water?!? I'd love to know. The toilets were disgusting! Turning on the water was just a matter of a phone call for us, so I really don't see why it wasn't done for us. Honestly, Amy Kaye (the property manager) is probably the laziest person I've encountered. We called her to inform her of our situation once we got in the house and she said she would stop by in about an hour to take a look. 3 hours later, we call her and she says "oh I won't be able to come by" due to personal/family issues. As a professional, we should have received a phone call informing us of the situation. The lock box is still on our house and neither garage remotes work.....which we have informed them of and they have yet to take care of. In my opinion, the lock box should have been taken off when we signed the lease-it does not feel safe that anyone who knows how to access that lock box could enter our home. Another thing-the gas company couldn't come til 2 days later to turn our gas on. We informed Amy Kaye of that as well so she said she'd send someone that day to light the water heater since we are not allowed to do it ourselves......did anyone show up at all? NO! Did we get a phone call from anyone? NO! Luckily for us, the gas guy was nice enough to do it for us even though he's technically not supposed to. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EXPERIENCED! Absolutely lazy and I don't believe a single word that comes out of their mouth. I don't believe they care or take responsibility for their work. You're in the business of managing and maintaining properties......maybe you should start doing your job! Everyone I have encountered at this office, including he real estate agent side, have all been extremely RUDE!!!!!!

We were happy with her attention to detail, so when we were ready to move again, we didn't hesitate to go with her again. This time she helped us find our new home, and sell our old one.

She helped us with a smooth transition with the sale of our old home, as well as, the closing on the new one. We highly recommend Claudia for your home buying or selling needs!

Professionals need the abilities to analyze a seller's needs and wants and to provide professional, yet personable, advice and counsel. Regardless of the ability required, Sheri Foley Allen and her team were ALWAYS at the top of their game. Every step of the way, they were spot on. From the beginning, we were impressed. Sheri and her team educated us about the entire home sale process and were physical participants, joining us each step of the way. They gently helped us see what features and accents were needed to reflect the values intrinsic in our house. As a result, their expertise and professionalism made those values shine in the publicity for and the presentation of the house. Throughout the house-selling process Sheri Foley Allen and her team consistently offered this same cheerful, expert assistance whenever we needed it, for as long as we needed it, regardless of the day or the time. They answered our questions, held our hands, explained the myriad processes involved in selling a house, and offered insightful counsel. Their accurate and excellent guidance put us in an excellent position for the sale. They even physically joined us at the closing. After closing, Sheri and team continued to touch base with us, making sure our move was going well and that we had all our questions answered. By the end, it was much more than a professional relationship; it was a friendship. And, we were sorry to be moving away from such accomplished and admirable people. We can most enthusiastically recommend Sheri Foley Allen and her team to anyone considering selling their home. The service they provide will always be professional as well as caring. And, the results will be impressive and satisfying. Sheri Foley Allen and team have our gratitude in more ways than we can begin to express. Sincerely, James and Rebecca Ferrall
