I had the pleasure of meeting Franky Hoyos to assess our house sale. Franky stood out as offering the most detail-oriented & analytic pricing recommendation, coupled with an eye for the subjective & aesthetic factors that should also be considered in pricing strategy. Most of all, I was impressed with Franky's work ethic, he puts his heart into representing his clients, which is a rare find in a realtor. read more

Thank you, Franky and Team! 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. read more

See all

Frankie is extremely knowledgeable of the housing market in the DMV. Very professional with great follow through.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Franky Hoyos as our realtor for our home purchase, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From our first meeting, Franky helped us really understand how to navigate the home buying process. He proved himself to be experienced in the DC market and attentive to our specific needs and wants. For instance, when we told him that resale was an important factor to us, he helped us see each property through that lens. Franky was attentive and extremely helpful throughout our search process, ready to see properties quickly and dedicate the time to really go through each home and carefully evaluate the pros and cons with us. One thing that sets Franky apart is that he owns several properties in the area, so he was able to give us valuable insights into potential issues with a property and ballpark remodeling costs. He even recommended a range of contractors (including one who is currently working on our home!). He also recommend several lenders who offered competitive rates, making the financing process easier. When it came time to put in an offer, Franky impressed us with his negotiation skills. He really advocated on our behalf, and thanks to his efforts, we secured a better deal than we initially thought was possible. We truly feel that Franky was our partner throughout the home buying experience and we will recommend him to our friends looking to buy or sell in the future. read more

Francisco "Franky" Hoyos is a very knowledgeable broker/agent who helps you organize your thoughts and priorities, and guides you through the process of selling or buying your home. I hired him to sell my old house in DC, and to buy my new one in Chevy Chase, MD. He does not sugarcoat things, and will always give you his honest input. It is a very challenging market right now, so you want someone cautious and thoughtful. He and his team are quite responsive and are also able to provide good recommendations on various vendors and services related to selling your old home and/or moving into your new one. I highly recommend Franky and the Compass Real Estate Mandy & David Team. read more

I've been saving my first Yelp review for something exceptional, and working with Franky finally hit that level of service. How else could you describe navigating a complex negotiation process to land a new house on our first try for only a $2500 premium. Leading up to our offer being accepted he was a tremendous help, both with his knowledge about the local market as well as through the information he could provide through Compass's internal analytics. After our offer was accepted he was also a tremendous help during the closing process as we navigated title and inspections on the home. Even after we closed on the house he has been exceedingly helpful as we have been doing a bit of work on the house and he's consulted on some of the changes and provided references for contractors. It was a pleasure to work with him on this purchase and I'll absolutely work with him again. read more

Franky was a pleasure to work with! He was well versed in the neighborhoods that we were interested in and gave us honest feedback about properties. Franky went above and beyond when it came to negotiating with a difficult seller and got us everything we wanted. He in fact helped us deal with numerous issues with the seller after closing. I have recommended him to friends and will continue to do so. read more

We loved working with The Mandy & David Team and especially with Francisco Hoyos who, throughout the process, presented himself as a truly knowledgeable real estate professional, insightful advisor and great communicator. To top it all off, he's super easy to work with, always being mindful of the clients' schedules, tastes and preferences. The solid support provided by his team made our home buying experience a total pleasure. read more

Mark Vernon and all of David Getson's Team are amazing. I am a first time home buyer and I could not be happier with my choice to work with Compass and The Mandy and David Team. Mark is knowledgeable, responsive and helpful. He worked with my small budget and found me an amazing condo that was larger and more reasonably priced than I thought I could afford. He found me a DC real estate unicorn!! He took time to explain fees and options to the smallest detail and put me at ease throughout the process. He kept me realistic and optimistic and I cannot thank him enough. What I loved: 1. Familiar with all of DC 2. Understood my budget limitations and didn't pressure me to spend more 3. Always answered my calls and emails 4. Brought me solutions not problems I disliked nothing. I have no complaints or criticism. I would recommend him and Rachel Bartolo the Closing Manager to anyone who needs a realtor because he treated me like gold. read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Francisco Hoyos and his team. This is the second time I have worked with him after a phenomenal experience 7 years ago. He is the ultimate professional, going above and beyond in every aspect of the sale of my home. Franky helped design and coordinate renovations to get my condo turnkey ready. Staging, photography and marketing were top notch. He is incredibly responsive, keeping me up to date every step of the way. Finally, where he really shines is in his judgment and negotiation. He was able to get me the perfect deal with very little stress or pain, which has typically not been my experience. I told Franky that I trusted him completely and he never let me down. I wish he could help me with every real estate transaction in the future. Franky has my highest recommendation. Working with him is the best decision you can make in the purchase or sale of your home - I guarantee you will not be disappointed. read more

I have stated on previous occasions that I have the most amazing doctor (Moody Mustafa) & sylist (Jae at Franz Sebastian Salon). I also have an amazing cleaning service (rosahousecleaning@yahoo.com). It really is nice to be able to recommend something without any reservations......and it always seems like that is a very short list. I am now fortunate to be able to add Mandy & David to that list. They are both wonderful -- and it is a huge plus to have TWO agents that keep your best interests at heart and make the whole process manageable and fun. They are patient, smart, sincere, personable....I can't imagine hearing anything but amazing compliments (as other have noted) -- everything you will hear is true. Each one of them is wonderful and combined they are a dream team. I can't imagine working with anyone else -- and we knew we wanted to work with them immediately after our initial meeting -- and they have lived up to expectations with each interaction. So while looking for real estate can be tough, finding a good agent is now very easy. read more

What a wonderful team! Shout out to Phoenix Wright who worked tirelessly with us for the last several months to close on the perfect condo we were looking for. This team will make the process of buying a home way less stressful than I had anticipated. Thank you thank you thank you! read more

MDT Real Estate - Compass - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

It seems that everyone is a real estate agent these days - and I didn't want anybody. We were looking for a home in DC, and wanted someone who could put up with our (i.e. "my") many demands for a home as well as know the area well. Mandy and David were great to work with! They know the DC area well, and provided very open and honest feedback to us along the way. When we finally found "the one" (on our first visit), the companies that they referred us to to complete the buying process were unparalleled. From the lender to the inspector...they all were top notch and really knew their stuff. Nearly 2 years after buying our home, Mandy and David still readily answer my housing related questions. read more

Robert Crawford helped my wife and me buy our first house earlier this year. He exceeded our expectations in every way. Not only did he turn us on to several under-the-radar neighborhoods and dazzle us with his deep knowledge of the DC market, but he also consistently impressed us with his diligence, responsiveness, candor, and thoughtfulness. Buying a house for the first time can be scary. We couldn't have asked for a better guide than Robert. read more

I'm so happy I found The Mandy & David Team for my first time home buying process for they have a great team working for them. I'd like to specifically mention one of their agents Matt Kahan whom was amazing in helping my fiancee and I find and purchase a home. He worked very hard with us through a tough long new construction home buying process which had many unexpected situations thrown at us. I'm happy to say that because of him, I am thrilled with the new home! Will definitely plan on working with him in my future real estate endeavors. read more

I thank God I chose these folks to work with in selling my house. First of all, my agent, Phoenix Wright, is just so wonderful. Calm, patient, and works his butt off for you, no matter how much your house is worth. Second of all, The Mandy & David Team/Compass has a lending program called Concierge that allows you to borrow money completely interest free if your home needs work done on it in order to sell, and then the exact amount lent to you is taken out of settlement when your home sells. read more

Mandy & David team are real estate super stars. I'd buy their stock if I could. read more

The experience my wife & I had with Jenn Marsoni as part of the Mandy and David team was absolutely amazing. She is an AWESOME agent! She was always very responsive via phone, email, text, etc. even later in the evening when trying to close a deal. The biggest thing was her clear demonstration that she wanted what was best for us vs just trying to make a sale. We got very lucky to have her as first time home buyers. Highly recommend Jenn Marsoni! read more

We give Mandy, David, and their knowledgeable and highly responsive team all the credit for our recent home sale! They are just amazing. Throughout the listing and sales process, we relied extensively on Mandy & David's exceptional expertise. The key differentiators are their deep, insightful knowledge of the DC real estate market, their attention to detail, their team (from the photographer to their closing crew), and their ability to bring untraditional buyers available exclusively through their connections and affiliation with Compass. We highly recommend Mandy and David to anyone looking to buy or sell their property in the Metro Washington DC region and are most grateful for their help. read more

I worked with Shannon O'Farrell and had a great experience buying in DC. We were able to quickly see a variety of relevant properties, and the team did not try to push me out of my preferred price range even though I was looking to spend much less than I could "afford". We were fortunate enough that we found a row house that was a great fit early in the search. Once we decided to make an offer, Shannon was instrumental in guiding me towards an accepted offer. In particular, Shannon was very helpful in negotiating a situation in which the property was a little bit overpriced, we were planning to write an offer well below asking price, and we found out there was another offer the seller was planning to counter. Shannon was very responsive, patient, and understanding in working within my preferences to create an offer that was strong on contingencies and helped purchase the home at a price that I was comfortable with (and that was still a fair amount below ask). As we moved from accepted offer to closing, Shannon and team made sure I was on top of everything, but struck a good balance in being a little bit more hands-off once they recognized that I was in control of the situation, preferred working directly with the lender to sort out the mortgage details, and consistently kept them updated with the progress of the loan. Overall, this was a very smooth transaction and I would be happy to work with the team again if I am ever looking to buy or sell. (But hopefully I'll be in this house for a long time and won't have a need for their services for a while!) read more

Jennifer, a realtor on the Mandy & David Team, was amazing! A testament to her profession. After several failed offers with our previous realtor, we batted 1.000 with Jennifer. It was Jennifer's expert understanding of the market, sound advice on our bid, and her consummate professional rapport with the seller agent that got us the win. Moreover, it was Jennifer who actually found our home. With our previous agent, my wife and I always had to do our own research on Zillow and similar sites. Jennifer, however, took the time to actually remember what we wanted, and it was her that alerted us to the property; before it went live to the public on the aforementioned sites. Lastly, and this attests to her process expertise, she knew that with my wife having some work travel on the horizon, we needed to get a power of attorney. I'm not convinced every realtor would have had such foresight. I strongly recommend Jennifer and the entire Mandy & David Team. Through my experience of working with a couple of average agents over a span of eight months, I feel like I know what a great agent is. It's Jennifer. read more

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with David (Mandy was on maternity leave!). He was WONDERFUL. As first time homeowners we needed some help with the process. David was patient and listened to our concerns. He was NOT pushy at all and was truly looking out for our best interest the whole time. He helped us find a lender and inspector both of whom were very helpful and knowledgeable. The mortgage broker he hooked us up with gave us the best rate we could find. We will be sure to use him again in the future and recommend him to any of our friends looking to purchase a place. read more

Phoenix is amazing!!! Compass team are the best!!! They helped me to find a tenant for my apartment, saved a lot of time and made it easy! Thanks a lot!!! read more

My wife and I closed on our first house June 15. It was a crazy process that brought us to finding our new home. We looked at dozens of homes with Josh Yearsley our amazing agent. He was so patient and worked with us as part of a team to help find the gem we now call home. The whole team at Mandy and David are great people who will go out of their way to help a client. They really want you to be happy with your purchase and help you understand the ins and outs of the home buyers market. For any first time home buyers I would recommend working with this team. read more

I worked with Jennifer Vaughan as my Buyers agent and had a wonderful experience. Jennifer worked hard to understand my needs as a buyer and was exceptionally responsive. We looked at many properties before I found the one, and she was very patient and helpful in assisting me to get to my final decision. She also stayed with the transaction, even post close which was very helpful. She's a class act and I'd definitely work with her again! read more

We found the Mandy & David team on-line, since we were doing a military move from Oklahoma to DC and had no knowledge of the DC housing market. We had pretty low expectations about our ability to not only find a home long-distance, but also to go through the buying process without even being in the same city. And then we were assigned to Tyler Jeffrey... To say that Tyler Jeffrey is a real estate rock star is a complete understatement. From the first day on he was extremely professional, responsive and proactive. He kept track of the very detailed emails my wife sent him and compiled a list of properties based on our preferences and process-of-elimination property listings that he emailed us every week. We finally scheduled three days to come to DC and look at properties in DC and Alexandria. This is were Tyler started to show his value as outstanding real estate agent that knows his business: he set up 15 properties in DC and 10 in Alexandria for Saturday and Sunday, and drove us around for a marathon-property-viewing. The places were all in the range of what we were looking for, and we were able to find a home in just one weekend! Tyler took care of us like we were close friends, instead of clients, (I do not say this lightly) making sure that we were comfortable with everything from furniture to neighborhoods and giving us restaurant suggestions for the nights to make sure we could relax when we needed to. He also set up the inspection for the next day, pushing his busy schedule back even further for us. He also recommended an excellent mortgage broker and sped the process along whenever we needed him to. Not only would I recommend Tyler to my friends, I would outright insist on them utilizing his services. To demonstrate how much he goes above and beyond for his clients: during the process of looking at properties, my wife mentioned that we would need an extra room for my hockey equipment, that omits an... somewhat offensive smell. Tyler heard this, and then reached out to another one of his previous clients who also plays hockey and set me up with a potential team before I even got a chance to lug my smelly bag to DC! read more

Donnell Kearney is an amazing realtor! Super knowledgeable about the market, really listens to your needs and goals to help you find the right fit, and is all around strategic and patient. There's no way we would have gotten our house without Donnell pulling out all the stops and getting our offer accepted by going back and forth with the selling agent until almost midnight! He's a superstar and also really pleasant and great to work with. read more

Worked with Gina & Taylor of the Mandy & David team - fantastic experience! Team is very client focused, flexible & attentive - every minute spent together house viewing, negotiating offers, going through the closing process was productive, but also very fun! As a first time buyer I really appreciated that, as much as I am enjoying my new home now :) read more

I was a Mandy and David client for many years and several deals before being invited to become an agent. Now I see how much behind the scenes organization and teamwork went into making my client experience so amazing. read more

David Getson and his team were top notch! David made the entire process a smooth, stress-free experience. He sold our home in a matter of days, not weeks or months, and we were very happy with the sales price. Additionally, and probably most importantly, David is just a flat out great individual. He's honest, thoughtful, and considerate, while at the same time being an absolute expert at his craft. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with David on our DC home sale, and highly recommend his services. read more

I just sold my condo in DC and worked primarily with David, Kya and Alix but everyone involved with the Mandy and David team met and exceeded my expectations from the beginning. The turnaround time on the sale and the sales price I was very pleased with, but I also appreciated the level of professionalism, the responsiveness and the genuine kindness throughout the process from everyone involved. I am going through the closing process now and received timely and detailed instructions on what to expect next. Every step of the way, I know I can count on the them to help me through the process. If you need a realtor, I could not recommend them enough. You will be in great hands! read more

The Mandy and David Team is the only team of real estate professionals that I would recommend!! Every single member of this team is incredible and knowledgeable about the markets in DC, Maryland and Virginia. read more

Shannon O'Farrell is an outstanding agent. From enlightening us regarding the assorted neighborhoods of DC to explaining the intricacies of DC street names and their respective order, she was the best. Shannon spent hours, days and months with us over the course of a year, both by long distance and with our feet on the ground, in our tireless pursuit of a new home. Shannon was patient and supportive, she gave advice and she listened. When it came down to the negotiations, she was right there with us getting us the information we needed to assist us with our decision. Even after closing, Shannon was available to answer questions and to provide resources. We couldn't have done it without her. We love living in the district and we can't thank her enough. Jo read more

Outstanding company, the agents were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. We originally worked with Robert, but after he took some time off for his wedding and honeymoon (which he told us about the day we met), we worked with Tyler and ended up sticking with him. Both agents were familiar with the neighborhoods we were interested in and also suggested some similar areas we hadn't thought about. We felt very relaxed and encouraged by our agents, never being pressured to expand our price range or look at houses we knew we wouldn't like. Both agents also gave us very honest appraisals of houses we liked, giving us really helpful disinterested opinions when we needed them. Tyler was especially helpful, sticking with us through three offers, some less-than-reasonable sellers, an issue with the appraisal, and other hiccups. He also has been a great resource since we closed, helping us out with any loose ends or telling us who to talk to to get something fixed. My wife and I consider Tyler a friend, and we will absolutely be using Mandy and David to sell our house and buy our next one. One representative story of how great this agency is: a couple days after we moved in, I locked myself out while walking my dogs. It was raining, I had no spare key, no cell phone or wallet, and two small dogs who couldn't hang out in the rain with me for 8 hours while we waited for my wife to get home from work. Not knowing what else to do, I walked to Mandy & David's office to see if they had a spare key or could help me get a locksmith to come. They let me use their computers to email my wife, one agent let me use her phone, and offered to let me and my dogs hang out in their lobby till my wife got out of work. This was after we had closed and they had no further obligation to me. I couldn't speak more highly of them, no problems or complaints at all. I was not impressed with Stewart Title, who still hasn't sent me any of my paperwork despite repeated requests and required me to agree to let them sell my personal information to junk mail in order to do business with them. Thank you, Tyler, Robert, and everyone at Mandy and David! read more

Like 99.9% of the reviewers here, my husband and I had a fantastic experience working with the Mandy and David team. We mainly worked with Robert Crawford, who carefully guided us (nervous, high strung first time buyers) with patience and good humor through the 9 months it took us to find the perfect place. Robert has lived in the DC area for much of his life, and his knowledge of the neighborhoods throughout DC is amazing. His knowledge of the process of buying and the current tenor of the real estate market in DC is equally impressive. Best of all, Robert went out of his way to make himself and his knowledge available to us, and was always able to answer my (many) questions clearly and quickly. One of greatest benefits of working with the Mandy and David team is the fact that they are truly a "team." While Robert was our primary agent (and I can't say enough good things about him) we also viewed some places with Julie and Josh on the very rare occasion that Robert was not available. Both were friendly and helpful, and were as familiar with what we were looking for and had looked at in the past as Robert was, which speaks volumes about the communication that goes on behind the scenes in the Mandy and David office. I've already recommended Robert and the Mandy and David team to two friend who are thinking of buying in the future, and will be contacting them in the future if/when we decide to sell. read more

I can't say enough positive things about Mandy & David. My girlfriend and I went to them based on a Yelp recommendation - and they were wonderful. We were both first time homebuyers and we had the usual jitters - and LOTS of questions. Both David and Mandy were very responsive, patient, and good at explaining things. They are personable and fun - and very knowledgeable. Everyone that they have recommended has been just as great - from the mortgage lender to the locksmith. We moved into our new home this weekend and Mandy and David made the whole process totally easy and painless. If you are looking to buy a home, give them a call! read more

Seeing as how I found The Mandy and David Team on Yelp to buy our house, I figure I should definitely yelp about them in gratitude (even if it has been 11 months since our home buying process first started). So like I said, I found The Mandy and David Team on Yelp, as my husband and I were moving from Colorado to DC, and I had no personal references to go off of. I emailed with Mandy and David some of what we were looking for in a house, and some of the complications that we were facing (one, we lived half away across the country; two, my husband was out of the country when I started house hunting; three, we didn't have a clue about the real DC). Mandy and David were great on my first house hunting trip, which happened to occur at the tail end of "Snowmeggedon". They drove me around much of DC, telling me about the different neighborhoods, pros and cons of everyplace, and showing me a variety of houses in condos that were well within our price range. Since my husband wasn't with me, this was more of a fact finding mission, and I left town telling them that I would be in contact in a month or so when my husband could join me, and we would be making an offer on our next visit. They were cool with this and even gave us the contact information for a mortgage broker that they often work with, so that we could have our pre-approval when making an offer. Fast forward a month or so, and it was time for another house hunting trip. Unfortunately, we could only time it for Easter weekend when both Mandy and David were out of town (totally understandable...it was not our ideal either!), but we were assigned to work with Tyler Jeffrey, who deserves a medal for all he did for us...in three days of househunting, Tyler took us to probably about 15 houses, including 3 houses that we visited twice, and gave us great restaurant and happy hour recommendations every day so that we could unwind. We did find a house and submitted an offer that weekend, and then we had to return to Colorado, but we felt okay leaving since Tyler was so on top of everything! He worked through the counteroffers, scheduled an inspection (which he went to with my sister since we were not in town) and closing, all in 3 weeks time. In short, we love Tyler and the Mandy and David Team! We plan on using them for all of our DC real estate transactions! read more

I have worked with Mandy and David for twice, my first time almost five year ago was to buy a coop and then this past year to buy a house with my fiancé. They are simply the best, period. They act as - part coach, counselor and adviser, they helped us navigate through a very complicated house buying experience - which involved a fire, temporary housing and many other things, and through it all, they were our steadfast advocates and always looking out for us. Look if you ask anyone we know, we had the most hellish buying experience possible, the worst case scenario, that was us. Through it all, Mandy and David were simply the best, and I would always want them on my side because they know how to do their jobs, and know how to it very well. read more

We just bought some rental properties in the area and needed someone who could help us show them since we live pretty far off. We called several different companies in the area and finally got in touch with Debra Pearlstein here. Her experience shows in how much she knew/knows about the area! We were very impressed. SO glad that we found her. I'd highly recommend her and anyone else in the office here for anything you might need real estate wise in the Silver Spring area. read more

My husband and I just closed on our first time purchase in Arlington, and we had a great experience working with Mark Vernon. We never leave reviews for anything, but we had such a positive experience I basically made a yelp account for the express purpose of leaving this glowing review. Mark was patient as we dragged him all over NoVa looking at townhouses and condos, and answered all of our questions, no matter how strange or stupid. He was knowledgeable about the market and very accessible. We got a good price on our condo and good recommendations on our home inspector and contractors. We'd recommend the team (and especially Mark!) to anyone looking to buy or sell. read more
