A couple of years ago, my boyfriend and I contacted Susan after seeing her website to help us with…read morea search for a rental. Throughout the rental process, Susan treated us as if we were in the market for a multimillion dollar property, when in reality we were a couple of 20 somethings looking for a temporary rental! We enjoyed our experience with her so much that we contacted her again recently when we decided to buy our first home together. Susan's unwavering patience and unparalleled expertise found us the starter home of our dreams! She held our hands throughout the entire process and answered every single question with a smile (even 11 PM emails within minutes). It was all SO easy that we still cannot believe we are home owners. We went into the process a bit nervous after some friends had difficulty buying their first home. Well...we we had absolutely no problem and no stress in our experience with her. Everyone kept asking us, "isn't it supposed to be difficult?" Umm.. not with Susan! She approached every situation with a sense of realism and always kept OUR BEST INTEREST in mind. She is definitely the best in the business and has an expansive network of professionals to help with everything her clients may need along the way -- from home inspection professionals to repairmen. We are just crossing our fingers (and toes) that Susan will be there for any future home purchases. After working with her, we cannot imagine having any other realtor. Simply put -- we adore her!

We were getting relocated from Florida and were here for only 4 days to find a rental. On our last…read moreday we were put in touch with Susan, and as you can imagine we were pretty stressed, as we really hadn't found what we wanted, and were thinking we would have to just take whatever was available. She showed us a few houses, and the last one was a keeper. She was calm and professional, and was able to lower our stress level and help keep us focused on the task at hand. We loved the house we rented and when it was time to buy we of course wanted Susan's expertise and her advice again. She was so helpful and patient and knowledgeable when it came to all aspects of the home buying experience. As a former Realtor I felt like I was in great hands. She can negotiate and get information on the fly. She is just so great at what she does, and it helps the process go smoothly. We eventually found a foreclosure and was able to get through the hoops of the bank, again because of Susan's help. We are still here and we love it. When we need help again, Susan will be our choice. I highly recommend her to anyone, buying, selling or renting. She will be your guide and shining light. Thank you Susan! -Patricia Alexandria, VA

Madeline was incredibly responsive, had instant access to property info, and knew Fairfax like the back of her hand.

She helped us see what work a place might need and gave creative, cost-conscious ideas to make it our own. She listened, understood what we were looking for (which wasn't easy!), and guided us through a super smooth offer and closing process. On top of all that, she's a genuinely kind, energetic person with a passion for home, fitness, and family. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

My partner and I first reached out to Marian over a year before we ended up buying a house, in a…read morepanic because we were worried about the impact Amazon HQ2 would have on our rent. Marian took the time to answer our questions and explain how the real estate market works, and she eventually talked us out of buying a home at all. This summer, when our landlord abruptly decided not to renew our lease, Marian was incredibly helpful a second time. She explained the changes in the market due to the COVID pandemic and said that now was as good a time to buy as any (and maybe better with the low interest rates). She answered all of our questions -- including correcting the misinformation we'd been fed by friends and family in other real estate markets -- and walked us through the process of home buying. We were on sort of a tight timeline because our lease was ending, but Marian never expressed anything other than confidence that we could find a great house within our time limit. And, with her help, we did! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Marian and Shalom to anyone who's looking to buy a home, especially people (like my spouse and I used to be) who believe that home ownership isn't a possibility for them.

My advice to anyone wanting to sell their home is, "PLEASE, SELECT ANOTHER REALTOR!" This…read moreexperience caused me soooo much stress! Right from the beginning of the process when I told Charisse that I'd added my daughter's name on the house title several years back, and she insisted that my daughter DID NOT have to sign the paperwork, my gut told me to select another realtor. I didn't, because I really wanted to give my business to someone who looked like me. Let me say this, "Do not let this be your reason for selecting a realtor." I learned the hard way. She placed my house on the web on a Wednesday and advertised an Open House on the upcoming Saturday. Saturday evening after the Open House, she closed down the webpage to accepting offers after just a few hours and four offers. I wanted to know why and was told that "four offers was enough." She went over the offers with me and I was guided to one of her fellow realtors, which I agreed to, thinking that the process would flow smoothly with a realtor as the buyer... My mistake. From this point forward everything went south! From my daughter's signature NOT BEING INCLUDED on the documents and me being told that I WOULD pay for this correction at closing, to the realtor/buyer lowering her offer by $18,000, to being notified two days before closing that the realtor/buyer would not be able to close on the DAY THAT SHE SELECTED, etc... I could go on, but I think you get the point. I should inform you that during the entire process, the lack of communication as to keeping me informed what was going on, was atrocious! The 'strange' thing to me was the several calls I'd receive after maybe a week or so of hearing nothing from Charisse, she'd call and recite a lengthy dialogue on how she prides herself on being attentive to her customers. What? I don't know if she'd be punking, me or actually being serious. I suppose "I was not to believe my lying eyes?" Anyway, after a month-and-a-half of, the agreed on price being lowered by $18,000, added closing cost (no fault of mine), long periods of non-communication, closing date being changed twice with no definitive date ever being given, etc... "I called it quits!" This was a horrible experience! Then...I went through weeks of more non-responsiveness trying to get Charisse to VIOD the contract I signed with her. I never expected to have this type of experience in what was being called "a seller's market." To this day I suspect that I was in the midst of a scam. I say that because the buyer/realtor made her offer WITHOUT NEVER SEEING THE HOUSE! I mentioned this to Charisse and she 'assured' me that the "buyer/realtor was not like that"... Thoughts? Anyway, my review of this realtor is, "NO, NOT THIS ONE, KEEP LOOKING!"
