Pete Conto was recommended by our agent. We did shop around on our own, but eventually decided to go with Pete and George Mason. We're very happy with our choice. The rate and terms for our situation could not be beat by any other lender. Pete was friendly and always answered every question we had - no matter how dumb we thought it sounded. We felt comfortable knowing that we could reach Pete at a moment's notice. Once we did find a property, Pete helped us put together a competitive offer with a quick 3 week close. He and his team handled everything and the process couldn't have been smoother. We'd definitely recommend Pete to anyone.

We had a great experience working with Alan on our home purchase. We are first-time homebuyers, and…read morewe were lucky to have Alan help us when the process became confusing or overwhelming. Alan has a lot of knowledge about the DC area and immediately understood what kind of place we were looking for. He found great places to check out, and offered his honest advice and opinions when we asked. Once we were ready to start putting in offers, he did an amazing job of negotiating on our behalf, and helped us get a great deal on a house that we are excited about. He also introduced us to some great contractors and inspectors, who have been really great to work with!

Whether it's your tenth home or your first (like us), you can't go wrong hiring Stephen Mercer from…read moreBuyer's Edge. He provides everything you would expect from an agent- prompt responses to all text messages and emails, knowledge of the market, ability to explain the complexities of buying a home in simple terms, etc. However, what sets Stephen Mercer apart was his background in contracting work, his ethics, and his genuine kindness. Each time we met with him we felt we learned something new on how to spot a good home, and maintain one after buying. He allowed us to develop our own taste and never steered us in a direction just to close a deal. He takes his role as an *exclusive* buyer's agent seriously. We toured about 15 homes with Stephen Mercer before we found "the one" and we felt absolutely confident in our decisions. This was hugely influenced by what he had taught us along the way. Stephen Mercer also has a slew of mortgage lenders, settlement attorneys, and others that he has worked with for decades. They all worked together like a well-oiled machine and processed our paperwork seamlessly. We always knew we were in good hands with Stephen's recommendations. We were by no means his biggest sale, but he made us feel like his only clients. He took time to move his schedule around when a house just hit the market. He came up with bidding strategies that kept us competitive in multi-bid situations. He followed up to ensure we understood everything he explained during the tours. He even came back to our house after buying it to help us do a quick-fix on one of our windows. We really feel like we struck gold when we hired him and ended up with a home that greatly exceeded our expectations in the competitive DMV market. Besides all that, Stephen Mercer is truly hilarious and kind. Someone you want to be around and can trust to help you with big decisions. We feel like we gained a friend throughout the process and can't recommend him enough!

I have now used Apex Home Loans three times for mortgage services (two home loans and one refi) and…read moreeach experience we've had has been enjoyable and stress-free. They do a great job of coordinating the small details with our agent, title company, etc. and made sure we received ongoing updates throughout the entire process. Any time we had a question, the Craig's team was more than happy to spend whatever time was necessary to address our needs. I've already recommended Apex to family and friends and would continue using their services in the future.

Searching for a lender to buy your first home is intimidating. Let me make it easy for you…read more Choose Apex. I spent many hours researching the various options, and my husband and I took a chance on Apex because of its local experience and its promise of great customer service. We couldn't be happier with our decision. Choosing a lender is not only about the lowest rates, though Apex is in line with the market, you also need to trust that they can shepherd you and the loan through the complex path to closing. Apex can and make it feel easy. Apex took care of us from the day I requested a quote through their website. Jon Ingram contacted us within hours and scheduled a phone call later that afternoon to discuss our options and the process with Craig Strent, the CEO. Craig was informative and patient with our questions. We never felt like we were imposing on his time. Jon did a great job taking care of everything through our entering a ratified contract for a property, and Amy Smith took point through the closing. They both were amazingly responsive throughout the process. Nothing makes a first-time home buyer feel more at ease than being able to get an immediate response on anything that arises. The entire process was smooth, and I am happily typing this from our new home.

I have known Cindy for about 10 years. She helped me purchase my first home in 2009. When it came…read moretime for me to purchase my second home, she was the only person I considered. There are many reasons Cindy is my first choice but I have listed a few below: Responsiveness: When you are trying to find a home in a hot market, it is important to have a realtor who is responsive. When I made the offer on my current home in November 2018, someone else had already submitted an offer to the buyer. Because Cindy was knowledgeable about contracts and quick to respond to emails and phone calls, my offer was accepted only minutes before the other homebuyer. There is a lot more to this story but I will tell you that Cindy worked her butt off to get me this home. In addition, when I was viewing multiple homes, Cindy took my request to view a home seriously and would try to schedule the home visit the next day when possible. If you are serious about buying a home. You will want to have Cindy as your realtor.  Realtor Expert: Cindy is an expert when it comes to real estate contracts and because of her many years of experience in real estate, she has also become somewhat of an expert when it comes to the condition of a home. During home tours, Cindy is under the cabinets looking at pipes, she is in the basement inspecting the water heater and furnaces, she is checking all the nooks and crannies you probably forgot about because you are more focused on the initial appearance of the home. Many of the items that were pointed out by my inspector during my home inspection, where things I anticipated because Cindy pointed them out during the initial tour of the home. I was grateful to have someone with her experience, working on my side. Overall personality: Cindy is a gem. She has spunk, she is always smiling, full of energy, and a pleasant person to work with. She is serious about her work and she cares for her clients. She will work hard to get you the home that you want. Oh and before I forget, this is another reason I love Cindy so much. After my home inspection, we tried to negotiate a seller assistance for some of the repairs that had to be made on the home. The seller didn't want to budge and I gave in, I told Cindy I'll just take what the buyer was offering. Cindy didn't like this. I don't know what conversation she had with the buyers realtor, but at the end of the day, I received the seller subsidy I wanted and not what the buyer was trying to give me. Cindy went above and beyond for me. She didn't have to but she did because she wanted what was best for me.  So, if you are looking for a realtor, you should choose Cindy. The first home she helped me purchase is in Maryland and the second home is in Alexandria, VA.

We have sold a condo and a house, and we have bought a house with Cindy as our real estate agent…read more She is an absolutely amazing realtor. She was involved in every step of the buying and selling process and worked very hard for us. When buying and selling she will fight and negotiate hard, understanding what you want and bargain appropriately. She loves to negotiate, and will work hard to make sure you qet what you want and manage your risk levels (and expectations). What I loved the most about Cindy is she stayed involved and stayed on top of all the moving parts of the house buying and selling process. Between the buyer, the seller, the buying agent, the selling agent, mortgage broker, and title company it's a lot to take care off and keep track of. Cindy stayed on top of all these different pieces to make sure that everyone is doing their job. She was also incredibly sensitive to our timelines on each buying and selling process and kept us informed every step of the way. She was always accessible over the phone and in person when needed - at times acting as half agent and half therapist. She gave us a lot of guidance on coordinating the actual move (we moved with young children), gave solid and reasonable advice on how to get our properties ready for selling and viewing, and went above and beyond for us on several occasions to make sure we were taken care of at every step of the way. If you're looking for an experienced, aggressive, transparent, helpful and informative agent - do not hesitate to work with Cindy - you couldn't be in better hands.
