We came across Jeff through USAA when we started looking for a new home in the DC area in spring…read more2019. He was super responsive, putting together a list of potential properties to visit on less than 36 hours notice before we even met the first time. During our search, he was always available via email and text, and prompt in replies. He was also timely in all home visits. His background as a contractor, and military experience, were traits we appreciated and which gave him a different perspective than other realtors. He never tried to "sell" us on a home, but looked at every place with a keen eye for detail, possible/probable issues, and a real sense of what we were looking for. During the purchase process, he was 100% on top of the paperwork flow, ensuring timely provision of necessary info to us, and that we were prompt in our responses as necessary, all without being pushy. He also recommended a great lender, which gave us a rate almost half a point lower than the companies we were considering, saving us several hundred dollars per month. In all, our experience with Jeff was excellent. We plan to use him again when we decide to sell or rent our new home, whenever that may happen.

Working with Jeff to purchase our home was fantastic. My husband and I are fairly new to the area,…read moreso we really appreciated his honesty and his knowledge of the home-buying process in the DC area. His expertise was invaluable during price negotiations and the home inspection. We definitely felt like we were in good hands with Jeff as our agent. Our buying process occurred over the holidays, and Jeff remained in close contact throughout our hectic holiday schedules. We never felt rushed or pressured. Overall, we could not have been happier with Jeff as our agent. I will be recommending him to co-workers/friends in the future.

Judi Shields was very involved with her personal life to adequately represent me. She was busy with…read morea family wedding and unavailable for days at a time and did not explain the addendum's she had me sign, costing me an extra half of a percent in commission. 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

However, at the end of the day the transaction went smoothly and we purchased a "dream home." While the happy result could be partly attributed to luck, Dan's and Gali's deep knowledge of the local market, efficient scheduling of property viewings and expert negotiation advice were major factors in our success. This is our second very positive experience with the Finn Family Group. Should we have future real estate needs in the Washington, D.C. area we will not hesitate to engage their services again.

They have wonderful communication and marketing, getting the word out before our house went on the market. And then it sold very quickly when it was officially listed (for more than the asking price). He is smart and has good judgment about what you need to do (and don't need to do) to sell your house. We highly recommend Edward Slavis and his team. He's also a delight to work with.

Ed and the Slavis Group helped us sell our home in April. In our first conversation he asked what…read morewe wanted in a realtor. We said we wanted 1) someone who would understand us as clients and respect our priorities and preferences and 2) clear, proactive communication. We got both and could not have been happier with the service we received. Ed and his team made the process as low-stress as possible. Our house sold more quickly than we expected and for a higher price than we expected. It doesn't get any better than that. We hope Ed stays in the business a long time so that we can use him again in the future.

Thank you, Franky and Team!…read more If you are looking for a house in the DMV area, Franky is the perfect agent! HE IS THE PERSON WHO HELP US TO FIND THE HOUSE JUST WITHIN THE 2nd OFFER in NICE AREA! My husband and I met Franky at one of the open houses in Washington DC. At that time, we didn't have any idea about the home-purchasing process. Even Though we searched online, we still got lost since we didn't know what the first step was and what our priority was. Franky helped us to understand the overall process, and encouraged us to think about our future life to set the goal of home-purchasing. Even Though we were not his clients at the moment, he gave us a 1-hour presentation of the whole process with the pamphlet. When we decided to go with Franky, he tried his best for us to find our FIRST HOME with some of our considerations. Since both of us work full-time, he made house-tour appointments or meetings (regarding making offers) after work hours. After our offer was accepted, Franky and his team gave sufficient advice regarding everything, such as locking the mortgage, depositing, final walk through, and the settlement! It took only 6 weeks to move into the new home since we started to look at the house to buy. As you can see my name, I am a foreigner and the whole process seemed overwhelming for me. However, Franky helped my husband and I to relieve the stress by communicating with the selling agent and title company. (Oh, I heard that he speaks English as well as Spanish). If my friend who came from foreign country asks me to recommend any agent, I will recommend FRANKY and his team! I am writing this review in my new, cozy room, where I dreamed about since I immigrated here. I can convince that if you work with Franky, you will never regret.

Cathy came to the meeting fully prepared with comparable info, and data. Cathy is experienced, knowledgeable and real estate savvy. We listened to her selling advice and how to price our condo for the market today and asked questions. I liked the fact that Cathy fully utilized social media to advertise and market our condo. Cathy is an excellent communicator. She will listen to you as a customer and what your expectations/goals are and will set forth to incorporate them into the sell. We were fully confident that Cathy was representing us for our best interest in the sale of our condo. She will work diligently for you to achieve success! Cathy and her assistants Undrah and Yvonne will keep you apprised of the entire process from start to finish. They are excellent on providing status updates with specific details and answering any questions you may have during the process. We were very pleased with Cathy and her staff.

I met Frank while I was working for the Northern Virginia Association of Realtors, so I really had…read moremy pick of Realtors to choose from. I picked Frank because he wasn't part of the old guard, the Realtors that believed in the old ways. He was coming out with Frnaklymls at the time, and it allowed me to do a lot of house hunting on my own time, right from home in the evenings with my wife. I don't have the time some Realtors assume you have to go looking at houses. With FranklyMLS I was able to do so much research. That's how I like to shop: online in my own time. But when I had questions or needed help he was right there to assist. I even used it again 6 years later to find my next house (in a different area, so Frank wasn't my Realtor --his suggestion was for me to find a local Realtor that knew the area). Sometimes my Dad will send me links to his Blog forgetting that I know Frank and if I hadn't already read the post, I certainly had plans to do so. Over the years I've gone back to just ask him advice, like "I'm thinking of downsizing and buying something smaller and closer to DC. What do you think about that plan?" He always gave me honest answers that struck me as going against making money. I'm not sure that if I were in his shoes I wouldn't have just said, sure thing, and helped the person pursue their plan. If you want someone with integrity, that isn't it just to make a commission and will truly have your best interests in mind while helping you find that home or sell your home you should choose Frank. If you want some that uses the latest statistics and trends, thoroughly researches it all, you should choose Frank.

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!
