While I had the idea in my head for a long time, last year I found myself seriously starting to…read morelook at homes after feeling like I was in the right place financially and life-wise to take this step in my life. Brett and I knew each other growing up, and while we had not had contact in several years, I knew that he was a stand-up guy and I thought I would take a chance and engage him as my realtor as things began to get more serious. I knew from the horror stories of family members how these things can go wrong, and I wasn't sure if it was going to work, but hey...you have to start somewhere. Now I can say emphatically that this decision paid off in ways I could not imagine, and I was impressed beyond belief with the services that Brett provided during the time we spent looking for and eventually purchasing the home that is every bit as perfect for me as I could have dreamed. I had unique requirements. I was looking for something with some history, in a specific location, for the right price. Something within my price range that satisfied my needs and gave me some room to grow in a tough area to find that in. A very tough job...after some searching, less than I anticipated...we found it. I didn't expect to make an offer when I did, but Brett called to let me know that other offers were coming in, and it was now or never for this property we had seen and loved. When I decided to make an offer, it was Brett's advice and experience that structured my offer in a way that beat out two other sellers but without an unnecessary increase in price. We ended up coming in with an accepted offer that was only a touch above the nearest competitor. I don't know much, but in the real estate world, to me, that seems like threading a needle...especially in the area we live in. When I first engaged Brett, he was very upfront about the process, about what to expect, about how this works, and about the ways in which we would navigate this process together. As a first-time homebuyer, this stuff seems scary. In Brett, I found someone who knew how to advise me, help me through the tough parts, and provide valuable insight on the decision I was making which to me was one of the largest decisions of my life to date. What's more is that through the process, he is extremely communicative. You always know where you stand, what you need to be doing, and he will always field that "good lord what am I doing" phone call at any time. I never felt alone or unsupported. I had an agent that was clearly working in my best interest every step of the way. Brett's strategy is about relationships. He builds these relationships with selling agents, inspectors, appraisers, and everyone else you need to go through the process. I got an unreal mortgage rate through Brett's connections, a home inspector who cared and really showed me what I needed to know about the house now and down the road as I continue to maintain it, and an appraisal that was accurate and allowed the deal to move forward. His excellent communication and followed through with the selling agent, and followed-up at the perfect times. He demonstrated a willingness to live up to his end of the deal that won over the selling team quickly and made for a pleasant and meaningful transition from one owner to the other. I can say with no hesitation that through Brett's expertise, experience, and ability to work with others and win them over, that I got the best deal I could ever have possibly gotten. In retrospect...I am blown away. Guys...hire this man. Seriously. You will not regret it.

Jin was referred to us and highly recommended by a friend while we were stationed overseas. During…read moreour initial communications with Jin, she was incredibly pleasant, professional and provided a variety of internet and mobile platforms so that we could share our home search requirements and timelines. Jin learned of our quick turn around house hunting trip from a foreign country and graciously without hesitation adjusted her schedule on short notice to meet and conduct an in-depth and relaxed interview of our wish list. Jin dedicated a number of days to meet with us on any potential homes to be viewed and did so in a punctual manner with a positive attitude. We ultimately selected a prebuilt home that checked a number of our personal wishlist boxes and Jin acted as our complete buyer advocate and was incredibly responsive in any questions and issues that needed to be addressed and resolved with both the builder and Mortgage Company. Jin was incredible from the initial introductory meeting and ultimately all the way to closing. We highly and without hesitation recommend Jin to anyone is search of a true Real Estate Professional who is in search of a great home!

We don't usually leave negative reviews, but our experience with our former landlord and real…read moreestate agent, Jin Wickwire, unfortunately ended on a very disappointing note. While the home-buying process itself was smooth, our move-out experience was the complete opposite. As a family with young children, we were repeatedly questioned and made to feel uncomfortable over normal wear and tear......things like minor drywall nicks that are expected in any home with kids. These were already being addressed on our end with a contractor, as we had communicated. Despite agreeing to cover repairs and forfeit a $3,000 deposit, we were met with unnecessary comments and a level of aggression that felt unprofessional and unwarranted. It was especially disappointing given that we chose to work with her over many other options, expecting a level of trust and respect in return. We believe in accountability and were fully willing to take care of any legitimate damages....but respect and professionalism should go both ways. Based on this experience, we would not recommend doing business with Jin.

He went above and beyond, making the prep, staging, open house, and then advice on the offers was invaluable.

For our home search, he suggested listings, showed up to properties with us and recommended an excellent inspector, electrician, and we closed quickly.

We strongly recommend Dawn and her services. She's definitely a gem of a realtor!

Dawn was recommended because my wife and I were a little indecisive and could not decide between Virginia and Maryland. Since she's licensed in both Virginia and Maryland, she was able to show us houses in both states; she must have shown us 50 houses. Once we found our home, Dawn guided us through the entire process from bidding through closing. Dawn patiently explained every form we signed and every step and every option we had until we closed on the house. We could not have asked for a better teacher than Dawn for our first home buying experience. Later, we finally were ready to move up to a bigger home and Dawn again came through for us. We found a house we liked and asked Dawn to help us buy it. Offers were required quickly and Dawn immediately found us a mortgage specialist who could get us a pre-approval letter for the offer. We had a weekend and Dawn was able to put together the winning offer on the house that weekend. After we moved, it was time to sell our old townhouse and we were blown away with Dawn's expertise in selling. We hadn't updated the house at all and we were behind on maintenance, but Dawn helped us put together a plan to get the best price for our house. She created a list of improvements we could do that were cost effective; picking out all the furnishing and fixtures to maximize our selling price. She found a general contractor to do all the updates and kept us abreast of their progress. She also guided us through Compass Concierge so we didn't have to pay immediately for any of the improvements. After construction was done, she helped us find cleaners to clean the house and a staging company to stage the house. The house was completely unrecognizable; it looked like something out of HGTV. We sold within a weekend, 25K over our asking price. We were so pleased that we also recommended her to my parents to sell my grandfather's house. She worked her magic and transformed the stale 1980's interior into a modern interior. There was a bidding war and my grandfather's house sold for 90K over asking. My aunts and mom cannot stop raving about her. Whether buying or selling a house, I cannot recommend Dawn more.

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.

From day one, he truly listened to our needs and gave thoughtful recommendations about what would be a good long-term investment versus what might end up being a money pit. He wasn't the type to push for a quick sale--in fact, he pointed out property damage and issues we might've missed on our own, which really built our trust. He stood out among all the other real estate agents we attempted working with. Thanks to his guidance and expertise, we ended up getting our top-choice home in just eight days! The process was seamless from start to finish. Even recently, when we needed to relocate, Peter offered to help us find renters and has continued to be supportive. We'll absolutely be working with him again when it's time to sell. As first time home buyers, we felt we got amazing value for the services provided. Highly recommend Peter and the Red Cedar Real Estate team for anyone looking for a knowledgeable, genuine, and reliable agent.

The best way to describe Peter and Red Cedar is high touch, white glove - concierge service. Peter knew the market and had a powerful team of equally adept realty professionals. Nothing happened without Peter's knowledge and he always focused on what was best for us: Initially meeting through closing. Here's where the professionalism goes to another level - Peter builds relationships with his clients, throws mixers, and checked up on us a couple of times per year. And, he DIDN'T ASK US FOR THE NEXT DEAL each time he subtly checked in on us over 5 years! He and his team cares about you - long term not just to get a sale. After 5 years of relationship building, we called Peter and the Red Cedar team for support. He came over. We completed representation paperwork, his AMAZING 360 degree Ariel and interior video/photography genius turned up and transformed our house into a buyer's beacon that sold our home within 24-48 hours of posting - FULL PRICE OFFER!!!! This is Red Cedar - all day long. After getting an offer, Peter and his team coordinate every document, appointment, and follow-up like a well oiled machine. The signing appointment was completely painless without any hiccups in the paperwork or payout - again, Peter and Red Cedar are professionals and the service providers (Ex. Title Company) were exceptional too. Thanks Peter and Red Cedar for your exemplary support, education, and caring over 5 years!
