After working with the Dana Rice Group, we're never going back to the days of doing it ourselves! Kcrystal, our agent, was exceptional. She worked tirelessly to find us our dream house, quickly answered any questions we had at any time of the day, enthusiastically joined us on countless house walkthroughs, and gave us advice when we needed help deciding. I would recommend the Dana Rice Group to anyone looking for a new home to buy or rent, and look forward to working with them again in the future!

Megan listened carefully to what we wanted and helped us stay patient until we found the perfect house in the exact neighborhood we wanted (Brookland).

Wendy's realtors know little to nothing about building quality, materials, or construction nor do they have any taste. They don't listen to feedback about preferences. They hire incompetent inspectors and in my case there was zero follow up when they offered support from 'their' contractors about an issue during inspection. Since moving to DC, nearly every other realtor I've met has been more intelligent, thoughtful, and honest about guiding clients through the incredibly important life decision of buying a home. Look elsewhere and or live with the consequences.

Even through a remote/virtual transaction, we received the same red carpet Banner-care we're accustomed to from Wendy!

I highly recommend Franky Hoyos. As first-time homebuyers, he showed my husband and me the…read moredifference that a qualified, experienced agent makes. When we were looking in 2020, we were new parents, the market was extremely hot and each house we saw had at least five other interested buyers. Prior negative experience with a Realtor left me thinking that there was no way we could get anything close to what we wanted in such a competitive market. Then a good friend recommended Franky. As total newcomers to the process, Franky didn't mind holding our hands and guiding us through the process. When we saw a home we liked, he was honest about the home's downsides. We never got the sense that he was trying to close a deal. Franky's skills really shone as he guided us from making an offer all the way through closing on a home with multiple strong offers. He was responsive, moved quickly and gave clear recommendations. We ended up closing on a home that we love, and that we plan on raising our family in.

The three things that stand out most are his communication, knowledge, and strategy. He provides consistent updates in whatever format you prefer and is incredibly responsive, even on weekends. He's honest, direct, and gives clear guidance on offers and negotiations. Franky knows the DMV market extremely well and regularly shares data to set realistic expectations. He also has a strong contractor network, which is invaluable. Strategically, he knows when to push and when to be patient. His guidance (including using an exploding offer)helped us secure our first home at a great price. We would absolutely work with him again and highly recommend him.

My husband and I LOVED working with Jason Koitz of the Koitz Group while purchasing our first home…read more Jason listened to our wants and needs and directed us to the perfect options. His efficiency in his work led us to closing in just a few weeks after we began our search! We value responsiveness, knowledge, ease of interaction and completeness in task when working with anyone, and Jason embodies all characteristics. The group's use of technology was also exciting and unexpected. Their website's interface was clean and easy to use on my mobile devices. Very little to no paper exchanges were made, everything was completed digitally. And we continue to enjoy reading about Bethesda/Chevy Chase's real estate community on the group's blog. Jason is also in-the-know regarding DC's food scene. If you're a foodie in the real estate market, he's your guy.

So after 2 years of sharing an apartment together and getting married, my wife and I began the hunt for our first home and selected Gretchen and the Koitz group as our Realtors. There is not one bad thing we could say about the process we went through buying our first house with them. Never pushy, Gretchen and her staff believe strongly in educating the buyer to empower them to make an informed decision. They are so incredibly friendly and knowledgeable in both about the area and in the process and all of the details that everything went smooth as silk. They listened well to what we were looking for and continually brought interesting and appealing opportunities to us. Even when we had issues with one house vs another (which always come up, it's just part of finding the perfect house for yourself), they were always understanding, attentive, and diligent so as to then come back to us with new suggestions that incorporated our feedback. This past January we celebrated our 3 year anniversary of buying our first home. We fell in love the first time we walked through it, and have been in love with it since the day we got the keys. We owe many thanks to Gretchen and her amazing team. We now see why our friend trusts Gretchen so much, and we certainly plan on using her again in the future for any of our real estate needs.

Megan went above and beyond for us in ways that were certainly outside the bounds of her job description. She made herself available during her family vacation for negotiations, and patiently answered all of our questions and concerns via phone call, text, and email. She felt just as much like a friend as a realtor. We truly appreciated the advice, referrals, and perspective she offered throughout the home buying process. Everyone else we worked with at the Conway Group was equally wonderful -- kind, helpful, and professional at every step. Ryan was such a beneficial presence during our inspections, and we really appreciated Katie's keen eye for detail and responsiveness on all of the administrative items. We would highly recommend Megan and the Conway Group to anyone looking to buy or sell their home in the DC area. You won't be disappointed.

I put my home on the market on February 28th and it was under contract by March 5th for 91k more than the list price. Megan helped me prepare my home for sale, advising about the return on investment of repairs and cosmetic upgrades. As I fixed all "punch list" items prior to sale, Megan encouraged the potential buyers to do pre-inspections. The offers waived inspection, appraisal and financing contingency! My home sale was the 5th highest sale in my development and the highest sale ever outside of the year with 2-3% mortgage interest rates. There is no better agent/Group than Megan Conway & the Conway Group.

The real estate market conditions were volatile, so we knew we needed to work with a savvy agent.

From the very beginning, Carmen and her team brought an impressive level of real estate expertise, local knowledge, professionalism, and efficiency.

Besides Carmen's ability to deliver results and a positive experience, they're all-around great people and I'd highly recommend them!
