Our journey with Marysol has been a wonderful life experience. I say life experience because buying…read morea home during the pandemic has been something that was truly unique. We were referred to Marysol by a colleague and met several years ago when looking for a 1-bedroom condo. I was single, twenty something, and hanging out in DC every day. Very different times indeed. 12 However, due to some outside factors we were unable to complete a deal with her. Fast forward years later I'm married and expecting my first child and it became imperative that we find a place to live. That 2-bedroom apartment life was coming to an end, and fast. Not only was it beginning to feel cramped, but due to COVID it seemed like living in an apartment might not be the best decision for the near future. Because we had such a good experience with Marysol previously we figured we'd give her a call and try our luck again. We were happy find that if anything time had only made her sharper. After contacting her, having a thorough consultation about our needs we jumped into the market. With the clock ticking till baby arrival we had to move quickly. We had expected things to change in the market but were not prepared for how drastic things had become. We soon discovered that due to the pandemic houses that were typically "boring" in Montgomery county, MD were now ultra-competitive. City dwellers looking to get out were now buying. Every offer we put in was competing with 10+ others. Not to mention that each home we put an offer in on was going 50k+ over asking. Despite this "NEW NORMAL" Marysol was a steady hand in guiding us through the process. I think at one point she was surprised at the aggressiveness at the market. She quickly rallied and adjusted our strategy. At one point our lender even backed out due to issues with lending during COVID. We were seriously at a low and were beginning to think that we'd just rent another apartment or townhome. Marysol quickly introduced us to a new lender who was seriously amazing! Even when our old lender told us that no one was lending. With less than 2 months to go till baby, Marysol navigated us through the very competitive landscape. She was very creative in structuring our offer to make it competitive in a sea of others. It was tough, and there were many late nights discussing contract language, but it was worth it. Finally, on our third offer we were accepted, and closing went through in less than 30 days. I will say there were sometimes where things were tense and that's expected during buying a house and I think the COVID situation made it worse. No matter what happened though we know she had our best interest in mind. Marysol remained steadfast and dedicated to us through it all. If there were times where she didn't have an answer, she had a team of experts behind her that could jump in. Now after several months of hunting we are in our new house and are excited to begin our new life with our first home. What we liked most about her is her sense of style. She's not just some boring "old school" realtor, but someone who is deeply passionate about her clients and isn't just trying to put you in any house to get paid. She knows what is hot in the market and knows how to help you get that home that fits you but is also a worthwhile investment. Look, buying a home is a difficult process and you want someone with you who is going to understand how things look from your perspective but push you to do things outside of your comfort zone. It takes guts and having someone you can trust by your side while you go through that is crucial. Buying a home is not for the faint of heart. Especially in today's times. It is easily the most significant purchase you will ever make. With someone like Marysol by your side you can't go wrong.

Marysol guided my wife and I in buying our first home in the location we wanted to be in, within…read moreour price point, and turned around well researched offer (no less than eight comps going back a year!) in less than 24 hours. Her instincts on how to craft competitive offers is stellar and resulted in the seller accepting our offer on the first home we looked at. To boot, the home appraised for $10K above our offer, building instant equity. She has a great eye for value and can see a home's potential, even in a homes that may not show well. Likewise, she is good at pointing out pitfalls when she sees them. Another great trait is that she is careful to communicate as frequently as you want her too, while still being responsive. We had a family emergency overseas in the process and she found a good title company that was able to get our stuff squared away without issue. I'm always impressed by how hard Marysol works, even for smaller buyers like us. I could not have been happier with my experience with her. Marysol's the best in the DMV, accept no substitutes!

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!

My husband and I were first-time homebuyers and to be honest I was completely clueless. However, Matene explained each and every step and made sure that we had a clear understanding of the process. From our first phone call, I knew that she was the right real estate broker for us. She was there for us throughout the entire process. Even though we knew she had many more clients, she made it seem as though we were the only ones. She made herself very available to us and was very prompt in returning phone calls, text messages, or emails. When we started the process I was placed on bed rest. However, we wanted to continue to search for our first home, so Matene and my husband went to see houses together and she made video recordings of the homes so that I could see them. (I did go see the house we really liked prior to putting in an offer). How thoughtful was that! Even more, when I was admitted to the hospital, she made it a point to check on me daily. She was genuinely concerned about my health and that meant so much to me. There were no questions that Matene was unable to answer regarding the home buying process. She was very patient with my husband and I during this entire process. She checked in with us regularly when we went under contract to ensure that things were progressing smoothly and we were staying on track for closing. She even did a video chat with me so that I could be present for the settlement. Again that speaks to how thoughtful and considerate she is. On the day of our closing, after the settlement, she paid me a surprise visit in the hospital to congratulate me on our first home!! My husband and I could not have purchased the home we did, for the price that we did, without Matene. We started this journey with her as our real estate professional, however, I feel as though we ended it as friends. I HIGHLY recommend Matene to anyone looking to purchase a home. Please do not hesitate to contact her, you will never regret it!!

My agreement with my previous agent was near expiration and wanting a change, I decided upon Matene after performing some research on sites such as this one and immediately terminated my agreement with my previous agent. I was contented to find that Matene was extremely pleasant, professional, and constructive. During the first week of viewing homes, I found the home I wanted and submitted an offer which was later accepted. I was astonished at how the first offer I submitted with Matene was accepted, especially since my last three offers were rejected with the previous agent. Being a first-time home buyer, the experience was challenging and stress inducing, but Matene was able to make it serene with her competence. Matene's transparency, guidance, expertise, and proficiency was immensely helpful during the home buying process. Not only did Matene counsel me and ensure that my interests were preserved during the entire process, she brokered the best deal of a lifetime. After closing, Matene presented me with a wonderful gift (which I won't share because I don't want to spoil it for the rest of you lol) that adds a perfect touch to my new home. I really appreciate Matene's help and assistance during this process. I thank her for everything she did and it was an extreme pleasure working with her. I highly recommend her services for anyone who is looking to buy. Trust me, you will NOT be disappointed!

Little did I know, I would find both of those things in one place, on that very same day! From the very start, Avisha was friendly, approachable and full of knowledge. She encouraged my girlfriend and I to look around the townhouse and when the time was right, she asked some questions about what exactly we were looking for. There was never a point where we felt pressured in any way to pursue the property. By the end of our conversation, Avisha had made a very memorable first impression and as a result, we decided to work with her on our journey to purchase a home. During the next few months, Avisha continued to demonstrate her expertise as a Real Estate Agent. She walked me through the nitty gritty details of each document, prior to submitting an offer. Avisha consistently acted in a professional manner and was always on top of things when it came to communication by promptly responding to emails, phone calls and text messages. She also utilized her network to provide recommendations for lenders, property inspectors and title companies. As a first time home buyer, I felt very comfortable working with an agent who provided honest and genuine advice. If you are looking for a real estate agent who knows the process both inside and out and will keep you updated on a daily basis, look no further! Avisha kept the train moving until closing day and now I have a new home :-)

In Oct 2020, Arynne marketed the sale of my neighbors house, closing $39k over the asking price; an…read moreoffer was made and accepted within two weeks of hitting the market. I knew then that I wanted this type of agent in my corner whenever I decided to sell my rental property, so I reached out. At the time, my property inhabited freeloading tenants using the pandemic public health emergency (PHE) to their advantage [and did so for over two years]. I explained my situation to Arynne and appreciated her keeping in touch, occasionally sending me updates re the PHE and what local legislators were doing. Fortunately, I got repossession of my property in May 2022 and our journey together began. My greatest concern before working with Arynne was not getting my property back, restored, and sold when the market was still good. Fortunately, my concern didn't come to fruition and everything worked out. The best part of working with Arynne was connecting with her on a personal level and her professionalism, she essentially did what she said she was going to do. I really appreciated her connecting me with several contractors, providing helpful suggestions on home decor, keeping me updated, obtaining pertinent documents on my behalf, and overall making the process easier. Accepting an offer and closing, respectively, within three and six weeks was our greatest achievement. I have learned that choosing the right broker, pricing the property right, and knowing the marketing plan upfront will save you money, time, and undue stress. The best advice I'd give someone considering a move would be to get an agent with experience, who understands the market, and acts in their best interest. Arynne's efficient, understanding, and will do her part in getting your property sold as quickly as possible. I'd gladly refer Arynne Crane to anyone interested in purchasing or selling a property. - Tori

She worked the phones, did her research, worked her contacts, was there for everything we needed. She got us an offer 200k more than anyone on our block of townhouses at that time! When my tenants refused to move (and to pay, that is a whole story unto itself), she stayed with us and kept the deal going. In the end, a good sale at a good price for all. Arynne Crane was the realtor we needed at the time we needed her and she worked a deal that won for all of us!

Her staging skills attracted so many buyers - we had multiple offers the first weekend it went on the market. That's not to say, of course it was not all smooth sailing. We did hit a road bump once our home went under contract but Sunita handled the situation very well, kept her composer even when the buyer's team got snotty.
