We moved to Europe and had to leave half way through the process, which made no difference at all. Alex took over all of the things we couldn't do and kept us up to date on everything. As a result, our home was sold within a few days, for the price we wanted. She made what is normally a very stressful time seem so easy and pleasant that we were surprised at how fast it was all over and dealt with. I can highly recommend her for not only her competence but also personality, which is very unusual in this business. Thank you very much, Alex!

The level of experience, knowledge and the passion Pinkesh Gala has for real estate is what sets him apart from most real estate agents. Pinkesh Gala helped make a dream of mine come true and his professionalism throughout a LONG process is what makes this review easy to write. Anyone who is familiar with the NACA program knows that the benefits are out of this world amazing, but the process is not for the faint of heart. For anyone who is purchasing through NACA, the most important part of the process is finding a good agent who knows the ins and outs of the NACA process. What most will not tell you about NACA's amazing program is that after you get qualified, yes, there are NACA in house agents assigned to you. However, you don't get assigned an agent immediately which can cause delays in your home search. A few weeks after I got qualified, I did not have an agent and began to feel overwhelmed. I found a few agents online who have closed with NACA a few times, however I never got a response from most and some had crazy unexplainable fees. I discovered Pinkesh through Kris Fraley who I found on a NACA forum. The minute I was introduced to Pinkesh he was responsive and never missed a beat! And although I was not his only client, the level of attention he gave to my home buying process made me feel like I was a top client! We looked at several homes, and although I had high hopes for my dream home (really high) Pinkesh believed in my hopes just as much as I did! For every home I was interested in buying Pinkesh completed his homework, things I wouldn't have thought to consider or think about , he was always prepared and NEVER canceled an appointment for showings. Pinkesh's negotiation skills are top notch! In addition to NACA's wonderful benefits, such as an interest rate of 2.25% on my home !!!!! He moved mountains and got me a great deal on my home that included closing assistance. Because of Pinkesh expertise in NACA closings he was able to ensure that I moved in my home without any additional delays (delays do happen with NACA). I didn't lose my contract, didn't have to pay a fee for delays, or lose my earnest money down. I am forever grateful and consider myself fortunate to have had Pinkesh Gala as my agent! For anyone purchasing a home ESPECIALLY through NACA you NEED Pinkesh Gala he is an expert real estate agent ! -A Grateful Client

She was able to negotiate in our favor in a multi-offer situation, and yet get us a excellent deal! After our offer was accepted, Jennifer and Laura ensured we were taken care of every step of the way until we were truly move-in ready.

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!

Valentino was great until we reached the final walk-through and settlement; hence the "Meh. I've…read moreexperienced better" 2 star rating. It was really hard for us to decide on moving forward with this home because there was a really gross cat closet in the home that just turned us off. Eventually, we moved forward and after the inspector came in, Maria negotiated 3 items to be fixed before we would purchase the home. One of these items, naturally, was for the sellers to deep clean the 'cat pee closet' so it wouldn't stink anymore. We were told the final walk-through would be done up to 5 days prior to settlement to make sure the items in question are fixed. Settlement was May 9th. On April 22nd we emailed Maria, "How are the inspection items progressing?" Maria wrote "I plan to check in with the listing agent next week regarding the receipts as the sellers have until the final walk through to have the repair items completed. I'll be sure to keep you posted." We were confident that Maria was taking the necessary steps to make sure the items were completed. The morning of May 9th, settlement day, I emailed Maria to ask her for the sqft of the carpet in the home or the dimensions of the rooms so I could schedule carpet cleaners. She wrote back with, "Unfortunately I don't know the carpet square footage or have specific floor plans with the dimensions for the home. On the positive side, the seller had the carpets professionally cleaned prior to leaving, so you may want to check it out this afternoon before making any specific plans." At the same time, Ben sent an email with the invoice, "Please see below for some final notes from the listing agent and attached for the home inspection receipts......." *final notes from seller: "Hey Ben -See attached invoices for the home inspection items..... my client got the property professionally cleaned as well..... " In response to Maria's email (that she didn't have dimensions of the bedrooms/livingroom), I wrote: "No problem! I'll just measure it when we get there.....I did see the invoice and all the carpets weren't cleaned.....I actually thought it was kind of funny that their agent said the property was professionally cleaned, when the invoice says it was only half the carpets and inside the oven ;) lol ..... the hallway closet was not in the invoice - which was the only thing we asked to be deep cleaned. It had better be cleaned and not just febreezed!! :) " Maria Responded with: "Understood, Jocelyn. I expect that the whole property was professionally cleaned (included the hallways, staircases, kitchen living area, etc) and that the standard form just didn't have a place to state those areas. With that said, you'll have a chance to check it out shortly. ;) Keep me posted!" Soooo... since she didn't care to take my concern into serious consideration, I did it myself and called the cleaning company to confirm what EXACTLY was cleaned. The cleaning invoice said: Bathrooms: Bedrooms, Living Room; Cleaning Carpets Dining Room and Basement: Kitchen Inside Oven Total Bill: $60.00 After calling the cleaning company, I wrote Maria: "I just got off the phone with [company name].,,,,,,It was JUST the Master Bedroom carpet and inside the oven. Nothing else in the home was cleaned.... She said she was told they only wanted the Master bedroom carpets cleaned so that's all she did..." (I specifically asked about the hallway closet and the cleaning company said "No, just the Master Bedrooms carpet was requested to be cleaned, so that's all we did.") Maria wrote back with ",I just left a VM for the listing agent to get clarification on the hallway closet.I'll let you know if I hear anything prior to the final walk through." We didn't hear from Maria. Ben met us for the walk-through and the cat closet REEKED of pee... STILL! He 'texted' our concern to Maria. We left to eat and 1hr later met Ben for settlement. He didn't revisit our concerns nor did we hear from Maria or anyone at Valentino about enforcing the contracted items. We were just told to sign. We got home and I emailed Maria directly. She responded with, "I'm so sorry, Jocelyn. The listing agent had written back (much later) the carpet in the hallway closet had been cleaned. Unfortunately once going to settlement, we really don't have a leg to stand on if we were to go back to the sellers regarding this item. With that said, let me know if I can assist in anyway. I hope everything else went smooth and successful today & your happy with your new home" I was shocked. It was like a slap in the face. Basically... "Meh, tough love, Jocelyn! Have fun with the cat closet!!" Maria did send me a link to ahome remedy to get DOG pee out? First, that's 'dog', and second, if I wanted to clean that closet myself (I'm pregnant) then we wouldn't have negotiated the sellers to do it!!!! So now, I'm 8.5mo pregnant using CHEMICALS to clean that closet myself. Thanks!

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!
