First of all Mike was not my realtor. He was the listing agent of a condo that I'm renting…read more RENTERS beware!!! Here is the email I sent to Mike; I am writing to discuss the condition of the property in Falls Church, VA 22042 upon my move-in. According to the listing, the property was described as being in very good condition, with refinished cabinets and updated appliances in the kitchen. However, I found that the property required significant cleaning, which should have been the responsibility of the previous tenant. Given the circumstances, I had to hire a professional cleaning lady to bring the property up to the expected standard. I have attached photos prior to the cleaning and respectfully request reimbursement for this expense. The cleaning lady spent seven (7) hours cleaning for $320.00. There was no tenant switchover clean. Please see the attached photos. Regarding the signed lease agreement; With five (5) days after the beginning of Lease Term, Landlord will submit a written report to Tenant itemizing the condition of Premises at occupancy, including the identification of any visible evidence of mold. I received a blank Residential Move-in Inspection. Without the move-in/move-out inspection report it becomes difficult to fairly assess any damages caused by the tenant and to determine how much of my security deposit should be returned or retained. I'd like to bring to your attention an issue regarding the amenities that were specified in the lease agreement. -I never received the written report and the owner was not aware of such a thing. On August 8, 2024 I received an email from my agent. She stated the following: I heard from the agent that he passed along the inspection to the landlord. He said he has worked with this Landlord for a long time and he's very reasonable about getting things fixed/resolved and will be reaching out. Just wanted to give you a heads up he is going to contact you directly. This is normal-- technically after the lease is signed, it is between you and Landlord. Unfortunately the inspection report was not given to the owner. The owner was not aware that the Residential Move-In/Move-Out form was part of the agreement or that I had completed and submitted to my agent. According the lease agreement dated 7-22-2024, the following amenities were promised as part of the rental Refrigerator with ice maker Window Treatments Stove/Oven burner doesn't work Pool I wanted to express my disappointment with all of the above. As you know, I paid $10,000 upfront to move in, expecting everything to be in order. However, I was forced to cut my vacation short to handle the cleaning, which was both inconvenient and frustrating. Given the substantial amount I paid and the expectations that were set, I believe this situation was unacceptable. Moving is stressful enough but the issues I've mentioned made it more stressful and it didn't need to be this way. I don't believe a move-out inspection was completed due to the condition it was in. I have also attached a copy of an email I sent to Mike dated Sunday, August 4, 2024 that wasn't replied to. There appears to be an issue with communication and details. I have been in contact with the owner via text and he's started working on some of the issues, which I greatly appreciate. This email was sent on August 19, 2024 and I have yet to receive a reply. It is clear to me that Mike isn't invested in his clients best interests or taking ownership for his mistakes. His attention to detail is sad.

Steve Bradley and Bradley Group Realtors have provided real estate services on behalf of my family…read morefor a number of years. We have found them to be extremely responsive, detail-oriented and they get results!! Great results!! In selling our home, Bradley Group provided assistance with staging and general advice to help present our home to prospective buyers. They helped us get a solid offer within a week of listing. A couple of years later we purchased a short sale, and Bradley Group was our Realtor. Our offer was submitted and accepted in February, and we closed at the end of April. Everyone who is familiar with purchasing of short sale homes has been amazed when we talk about the timeline for completing our purchase. Bradley Group finds the best of the best in lenders to work with, and made sure we were satisfied with the experience. We have recommended Bradley Group to our friends and family, and they, too have the same home-buying and selling success that we experienced. We have tried other realtors and all we got was an inbox full of listings for us to pore through - none of which seemed to match what we said we were looking for. We called Bradley Group and worked with Steve. He listened to us and looked at the example listings we sent for him to match in his search. He did send us emails with homes for us to look at, but they were spot on with what we told him we were looking for. Every house we looked at, Steve was familiar with the neighborhood and had a wealth of information about the area we were looking at moving to. Steve lives and breathes real estate, and I'm convinced he knows everything there is to know about buying and selling homes in Northern Virginia. There was not a question he couldn't answer for us. When you're buying or selling your house, it can be very stressful. With Steve, we were able to leave all of the heavy lifting to him and his team. They told us everything we needed to do, and we could just focus on those tasks, with no worries that they would drop the ball and cause us to lose out on getting our house. I was happy to finally close on our home, but so sad that the experience with Steve was over. I wish I could buy another house just to have a chance to work with Steve and Bradley Group Realtors again. I will continue to have Bradley Group represent us for home purchases and sales, with no thought of going to someone else. If you want a Realtor who is on your side and won't stop working to get you that dream home that fits your budget and needs, and the Realtor who will guide you through the process to get your home sold, do yourself a favor and call Bradley Group Realtors. I can't say enough about them....

I looked at review scores and Steve came up as #1. I couldn't agree more. Although he was working with 100+ DOM, this did not deter him. He priced us better and was very proactive with the buyer's realtors as they came through the house for showings. We weren't able to sell last year (no fault of Steve--it was way past the buying season) so Steve gave us the most optimal choices and never pushed us. He gave us honest answers of the current market activity. So we decided to take it off the market and try again this year. With Steve's guidance, we were able to decide the best approach to position ourselves this year. He priced us well and gave us suggestions on what to spruce up and more importantly, what NOT to spruce up (waste of $$ with no benefit) and when he listed the house on "coming soon" status, someone snatched the house right up within 24 hours of listing. We just went to settlement last week and there were no bumps throughout the process. We had already moved out of the area so he managed the property for us while it was off the market and while we had workers come out to service our yard and home for various reasons (lawn mow, HVAC and plumbing maintenance, carpet cleaning, etc). If i could give Steve 10 stars i would. You'd be a fool not to use Steve to sell your home.

Either way we had to sell it quick. Karrina comes in and was able to get us a full price offer on the first showing of the open house. This was able to allow us to put more money down on the home we purchased in Occoquan. We used Karrina again for this purchase even though it was a new build. Many times the builder (DR Horton) tried to screw us out of options, square footage, a kitchen island, windows, etc. Karrina fought for us, and we were able to get every thing we were promised, and washer and dryer. Completely satisfied, I recommend all the time.

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.

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.
