Updating this review: when my husband and I saw our forever home on Zillow, we knew exactly who to…read morecall. Long story short, in a very competitive situation, where the final decisions came down to two equitable offers (ours and another), the seller chose ours because Meg and her team (her network of inspectors, lenders, etc.) were professional, timely, and SUPER easy to work with. Literally, the seller picked us because of our AGENT and that was MEG! We went from seeing an email on Thursday, to getting preapproved on Friday, to visiting the open house on Saturday, to getting an inspection on Sunday, making an offer on Monday, and closing three weeks later. I am CERTAIN we would not have been able to do this without Meg. She can make. things. HAPPEN! (She has a great rolodex too. Need a sump pump guy? A carpet installer? A handyperson? Meg's got people.)

My wife and I interviewed a handful of realtors when we began our home search, and we felt so-so about each one. Within 30 seconds of meeting Meg, we knew she was the one. No hard decision or second-guessing there. Throughout our search, Meg was a constant advocate and a trusted confidant. She learned our tastes quickly and weighed in when we needed another opinion on a property we saw. (She was especially helpful in dissuading us from putting offers on properties we knew weren't right for us, but which we thought we *should* want.) Finding a home in this market can be demoralizing. Meg's warm personality and wise guidance kept our spirits high throughout. She knows NoVa inside and out, so we had the confidence that only working with the best can bring. In the end, she helped us find and close on our dream home--a great townhouse in a kid-friendly neighborhood that we're thrilled to be raising our daughter in. And she did it for a price well within our means! I can't imagine us having made it through the search process without Meg. And while I hope we stay in our home for many years to come, whenever we find ourselves eying the market again, I know who the first phone call I'll make will be to--Meg!

First time, military buyer and a trusted friend connected me with Renata. I was semi-working with 2…read morerealtors prior to her and was left unimpressed. No one seemed unique aside from saying "I'm a realtor" and passing me the same boring website with the same standard search engine every typical realtor uses--much of which I had to input myself. Why am I giving them a cut of my $$ when I am out searching on my own using these boring links? I was more than happy to have this friend pass me her info to see if she might have been different. I went out with Renata once or twice looking at places and early on I didn't see any differences yet. But we looked at one place that I ended up LOVING--and when I started moving fast on it I realized Renata was already ahead of me and ready to help me jump through the gates I was not yet aware of as a first time buyer. However, then we came to a roadblock realizing this dream place didn't allow dogs...which I could not give up. Watching my parents recently go through the buying process I knew I had to hold off getting excited about a place until the contract got accepted. But 2 days later I got a text and an email from Renata as she dug through local properties and found me one that was almost identical to the unit I lost out on, with minor adjustments. She helped me negotiate a deal on the property, and she swiftly alerted me when another offer was about to be made on the place and again helped me sprint to get a fair, negotiated offer in that would give me a chance against the competition. I/we closed on my condo today and it was great having her help me through every--single--step of the process. Even when I texted her random questions on weekend night, she would respond. I look forward to buying through her again, and trying to sell through her if she thinks aqua blue kitchen cabinets are even marketable. She might accept that challenge...for a price. Simply said, she is on your side and will help you every step of the way. Will definitely only work with her as long as I live in northern Virginia.

The decor was definitely worn down and dated so we were really looking for a realtor who was experienced with fixing up properties before putting them on the market, since we didn't have experience renovating houses or the ability to come back to Arlington for the sale. Renata was very responsive when we reached out to her and mapped out the process needed to quickly get our house on the market with the necessary renovations. She provided very detailed estimates of her recommended renovations and was very accommodating when we didn't think all of them were necessary. She had everything ready to go the day after the tenants moved out, oversaw all aspects of the renovations and staging, and had the house on the market in less than a month. We were able to leave all details to Renata to take care of and she didn't disappoint! We received multiple offers and had an accepted offer significantly above asking price within a week. If we ever find ourselves in the Arlington real estate market again we will not hesitate to work with Renata!

If you are looking for a realtor, look no further. Laura is the ONE! My husband and I were…read morefirst-time home buyers buying a condo in Arlington. Laura was recommended to us as a top agent in the DMV area with impressive transaction volume each year. Although we identified multiple agents through our search, we immediately decided to work with Laura after our initial video call because we were impressed by her knowledge of the local housing market and all aspects of real estate transaction. We are so grateful that we did! We were buying a condo in a very competitive area. Every time when we made an offer, we had a competing offer and had to act very quickly to make our offer more competitive. Laura worked around the clock to prepare the comparative market analysis, tour the units with us, crafted and advised us on compelling offer terms and negotiated with the seller agents. Our closing had some extra complexities due to the condo building's financing approval being expired. Laura skillfully helped us navigate this issue. She proactively included relevant language in our offer to protect us from such financing issue before we even knew there was an issue with the condo building. After we discovered the issue, Laura was in constant communication with the seller's agent, condo building and mortgage broker to speedily resolve the issue and ensure we could close on time within 3 weeks. Laura's price prediction and recommendations were spot on when we submitted our offer. She recommended us to adjust our offer to a certain price to increase our chance of sealing the deal at our offer price (instead of activating the price escalation clause and resulting in us paying a higher price). We were able to be the winning offer because of Laura's excellent communication skills and expert advice. We followed Laura's recommendation and did not have to pay more than our offer price for the condo. The appraisal ended up being higher than our purchase price. We are grateful that Laura helped us secure our dream home at a great price. Laura was extremely responsive and patient. We had a lot of questions as first-time home buyers. Laura patiently answered all of our questions at any time of the day. Despite her busy schedule, she accommodated our challenging schedules and requests under short notice every single time, which enabled us to close our home with great success. We could not have asked for a better realtor to share this home purchase journey with. Thank you Laura for being an outstanding, caring and dedicated realtor!

My entire experience working with her was extremely pleasant! At the time, I was traveling back and forth out of town to be with my ill grandfather.

Since then, ReShawna has become our family Realtor. She listed & sold my mom's house in Dumfries, VA in 1 week & found her a beautiful home in Upper Marlboro MD. She also listed & sold my Godparent's house in Ft. Washington MD within 1 week! ReShawna has also helped several of my friends list & sell their homes in record time. Currently, she is helping me and 2 of my family members find our forever homes. It's a crazy market and ReShawna knows how to work in it! Her services aren't simply listing & selling homes. She & her team ensure that your house is ready for the market by staging it beautifully! If you're a buyer, She makes sure that you're not about to purchase a "money pit" house. She asks all of the right questions from other Agents, Home Inspectors & Apraisers to make sure that there are no issues once you're at the closing table. Yes, this is a long review. But when folks are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a home, I figured why not share information about the person you might choose to assist you with that investment :-)

When we finally decided to get serious and put in a bid on a house that we found on a Thursday night, with bids due on Tuesday morning, Rachel gave us her opinion on the property in minutes, arranged for her colleague Jenn Abreo, to meet us at the property at 8pm on a Friday night, and get a home inspection arranged over the weekend so we could bid with confidence. That house - as predicted - went for ~$125k over ask - Rachel and Jenn were communicative though the process, advised us on how to make our bid more appealing, and, at the end of the day, not to match the crazy bidding war. Jenn took us around to see a few other places over the next couple of weeks until we found our current home. We got it for ~$75k under original ask (though we had to concede any fixes from the sellers, which I was fine with), and Rachel and Jenn threw in a years' worth of warranty for the major appliances since our hvac and water heater are a little old. We highly recommend both Rachel and Jenn.
