Vicki Foster has to be one of the rudest people out there. I called a few days ago inquiring about…read morea property for rent and spoke to a young man. I asked if the owner of the rental property was willing to accommodate our dog. I never heard back. So, I called back this morning and Vicki Foster answered the phone. She said, "well, he he probably didn't call you back because there are 10 applicants ahead of you". I'm sorry but, this is extremely rude. Not only did your tone show that you run your business poorly but you have no morals. It would be a very lengthy review if I explained everything Vicki said that was rude and disrespectful. Her bio is a fraud. There was no professionalism or kindness. She clearly didn't care.

If you are looking for a real estate agent who is very professional, knowledgeable, effective and…read moregoes above and beyond the average realtor, look no further! Vicki Porter, of Long and Foster is the agent you need to call! She is also very patient, kind and listened to our needs. She helped us cope with the stress involved with leaving our beloved homestead and downsizing to a smaller condo. Vicki helped my wife and I sell our house of over 31 years. We got an excellent price, amazing stipulations including a free rent back, all cash deal, not having to remove all our accumulated "stuff" and in the as is condition. And guess what, with her close relationships with local builders, our house was sold even before it went on the market! Wow! Vicki also helped steer us through the moving experience and even pitched in on our moving days and provided everyone with lunch on the final day! You just can't get better detailed service these days! In closing, we heartily recommend Vicki Porter as your real estate agent! She will do an outstanding job for you as she did for us!

Kimberly is a very knowledgeable, experienced, diligent, responsive realtor who will be by your side every step of the way providing you with guidance, pertinent details, answers to any questions you come up with, as well as useful apps and organizers that will keep you on schedule.

Can you legally represent yourself in a court of law? Totally. Should you? Probably not, so you…read morehire a lawyer. Looking at purchasing/selling property in the same fashion, real estate agents are essentially House Lawyers. When it comes to your best interest in the long term you definitely want to hire someone competent and let me tell you all real estate agents are not the same. That being said Kimberly Barton is the best House Lawyer around! Kimberly came highly recommended and after working with her it's easy to see why. My goal was to sell my house and move to Florida with all my pets. She was able to sell my home within my projected time frame and made the process a breeze! Before I knew it I was headed south in a U-hual with my dog and all my other critters. When I reached out to Ms. Barton with my (then) current situation and goal time line to sell, she warmly accepted me as her client and was very confident that we'd be able to close by the date I had in mind. I was so thankful for her understanding of the emotional impact on selling my home, and the feeling that she really cared about me (and all my pets lol) as her client. She's incredibly thoughtful! Going above and beyond to make you feel stress free and comfortable the entire process. She still keeps up with me after my big move, even asking about my pets, which I appreciate so much! Buying or selling your biggest assest can be nerve wrecking and it's essential to trust the agent representing you. Kimberly Barton is amazing! I'm not sure how she does it, maintaining all her clients and such, but she is definitely in the right field of work! And looking fabulous while she does it! I have no doubt in her abilities to tackle anything real estate related and I'm so proud to add my prior adress to the "Kimberly Sold It" list!

Bottom line: BEWARE & AVOID…read more Imagine working with a listing agent that haphazardly chooses not to present an offer to their client, as a seller. No way, right?! Wrong. This group unethically prolonged ratification of a viable offer to drum up more offers on a poorly priced listing that's sitting COLD in a HOT market. And immediately after being held accountable, this listing agent undermined the reputable, military-affiliated lender of the potential buyers and increased the listing price by $30K to cover up their group's lack of judgment. That is an experience in working with the Good(bad)hart Group. Additionally, this group is disrespectful of fellow agents, while touting their long (see: out of touch) experience in the industry. From a millennial, veteran, BIPOC perspective, this nepotistic realty group is not one to work with. But if you're seeking a group that is discriminatory, condescending, and generally uncooperative -- this is the one for you. Bonus: check out another review the group had removed to hide their poor performance.

What is it with listing agents in Northern Virginia? We have encountered four absolute…read moreunprofessional and unorganized people in our search for a rental house. Like one idiot who said our dogs wouldn't be a problem and after we submitted our applications and checks... THEN informed us that the dogs were an issue. This scenario was just another waste of our time and money. This time around, instead of dealing directly with listing agents through Zillow or Trulia, we hired our own real estate professional and she is an absolute doll. She got us several tours of homes in the areas we preferred. One such property was listed by Fairfax Realty and this character Norberto Vignoli was who we dealt with. One thing that bothered me right off the bat was the fact that our credit reports were sent to Norberto, but our application was never sent. Why did this bother me? Norberto never knew we were asking for a two year lease. These people were unorganized. We toured the house and it was 99% perfect for what we were looking for. So I took the next day off of work in order to get the paperwork in order and secure the two cashiers checks they required. Most companies require a cashiers check for the application fee and a personal check for the month deposit. Not these people. Red flag number one. I dropped off the application and checks to their beautiful office in Falls Church. I handed it to Jasmine (at the front desk) who was going to run our credit checks. The next day, I spoke with Norberto who told me we were approved. I was elated to finally find a place. But he then went on to inform us of some sketchy things AFTER we had already submitted our applications and checks. If any of the appliances, the AC or the heater broke down within the first 60 days, the owner would take care of it...BUT after that, we would have to pay their $100 deductible???? Really? Not only that, but we would then have to pay the worker's bill and the owner would allow us to take it out of the next month's rent? WHAT? Why can't the owner pay with his credit card over the phone? Why are we getting involved? We would have been paying premium rent after all. More red flags. We gave our notice and plans were being made to pack and move. All of that came to a screeching halt when I asked Norberto about the unsafe albeit hazardous step in the front of the house. There was a steep drop from the driveway to the walkway that lead to the front door. I almost fell on my face the first time we visited the property and I was fearful that a delivery person or any person (for that matter) would get injured and sue us. I'm from California where everyone sues everyone for any reason at all, so you can understand my concern. So I asked Norberto if the owner would be willing to add a small amount of concrete to the drop off as to make it more safe. Norberto said no and suggested I pay for the repair myself. I suggested something be put in the lease so we would not be held liable. All Norberto had to say was that renter's insurance would cover us and the issue would have been solved. Instead, he decided not to rent to us. WHAT THE HELL!!!!! Now we were stuck because we had given our notice to move. And I took the day off for this? The following day, I called and texted Norberto and he just ignored me. Very professional. Later that evening, he texted our real estate person (she was on vacation in another state) asking her if I wanted our checks mailed or if I'd pick them up. HELLO? Why not communicate with me??? Why ignore me? Why ruin our plans over my worrying about the hazardous situation? What an abject asshole.

We also know her and/or a member of her team listed the people's previous home who actually purchased the house we were interested in. She basically was trying to make sure the people who bought the house got first dibs on the house with limited or no other people to compete against. She and her team are unethical and rude!!
