Obtaining the services of a real estate agent is much more than "finding someone to sell your…read morehome". This is especially true if you are selling an inherited property as I was earlier this year. A good real estate agent will know the area, know the laws and rules and will help assess your home and get it listed and sold for a "good price". A great real estate agent is a counselor, a partner in your effort, someone who "has your back" throughout the process in addition to doing all of the real estate work. Philippa Main is an *outstanding* real estate agent and an even better person. My father passed away leaving a home in Woodbridge, Virginia - the home in which I grew up and which contained almost 50 years of possessions. I contacted Philippa in March of 2026 to discuss its potential sale even as the house was in significant disarray while I engaged in the slow process of cleaning it out and sorting through the many things my parents had accumulated over the years. When she visited the home, I looked around and threw up my hands. Philippa looked around and said, "we can make this happen." I sought her out specifically because she mentioned having expertise in sales of homes that are inherited - a particular niche that involves a delicate dance of handling family dynamics, wills, probate laws and determining what, if any, money should be put into renovations or improvements that will get a reasonable return on the investment. From our first conversation over the phone - which she took time to do in the middle of a busy weekend - Philippa was incredibly personable, easy to talk to and anticipated many of my questions and many of my concerns as we talked. By the end of our conversation, I felt like I was chatting with a friend who had expertise I needed. Over the following three months, she was a (rapidly-responded-to) text or phone call away as I navigated getting the house ready for sale. She helped outline a schedule and a plan to list the home. She connected me with a large network of trusted service providers from junk removers to contractors to painters to flooring experts from whom I obtained estimates and some of whom I contracted to help clear out the house and prepare it for sale. While she always reiterated that she would back any decision I made regarding the house, I always sought her counsel when making major decisions such as whether or not to spend money on renovations and, if so, which ones were most important. Of course, there were obstacles - some amusing, some less-so - but Philippa helped me handle each one with a confidence borne of having "seen it before". That is an incredibly valuable thing when dealing with a stressful situation. In the end, the home was listed in June and had nearly seventy showings in three days. The house sold for well over its asking price and after all of it I know some things: The home could have been sold by another agent. But few, if any, others could have been a partner in the process the way Philippa was for me. She was a trusted resource, a confidant, a person who knew when to inject humor into a situation and when helping me vent was what was needed - she understands people and the process of selling an inherited home in addition to being a brilliant real estate agent who knows the area and who knows how to get the job done. I couldn't recommend her more for ANY real estate work but, especially, if you face the task of preparing and selling an inherited property.

Yes, he's young, and that might turn some people away, but don't let his age be a negative factor. As a real estate investor, I have worked with many realtors, and I can say AB is great. His persistence and willingness to help are both top notch. I always have a ton of questions and he is always open to help. Highly recommend working with him.

I had the displeasure of conducting my sale with this company and I do not recommend them…read more Scott was so condescending when going over my ALTA and explaining what debit was left off by their Senior Processor, Zoe, who had sent it to me two weeks before my closing date. My realtor had to reach out for two days to receive the final ALTA and when she did it was wrong. The night before my closing I finally got the correct final ALTA and it was way off from the one sent weeks back so I asked the other processor if she could go through it with me and she connected me with Scott. He sounded as if I were inconveniencing him by asking about the impactful difference, still no accountability taken for failure of including this debit and no apologies offered. Also, when I signed my closing documents I had to ask if they'd be needing the condo, mailbox, and storage keys. No one even asked! When I emailed about how disappointing this was there was no reply, so now everyone can know how disappointing their lack of communication was and know there are other Title and Escrow companies to use in the Fairfax area for your closing and settlement.

My Brookfield home is in the Heritage Shores Community in Delaware. I am posting a picture of what…read moremy driveway looks like after less than a year in a Brookfield house. No driveway should look this bad in that short of a time. This driveway's concrete was either improperly mixed, sealed, or dried. I never put salt on the driveway. The corrosion must have come off the street on my tires. The damage should not be this bad in less than a year. The "Customer Service" department never called me; we only exchanged emails. Their view is that the bad winter and indirectly applied de-icing agents caused the problem. I don't believe that it would look this bad after the first winter if the concrete was correctly mixed, poured and dried.

We've been in our new Brookfield home for over a year now and my advice to anyone reading reviews…read moreabout Brookfield is to BELIEVE THEM and find another builder. There's a reason Brookfield homes all over the country have terrible ratings and reviews. They don't stand by the quality of work for what they're charging and will absolutely gaslight you and tell you nothing is wrong with your house even though, like us, you have actual engineers saying otherwise as things in the house break. Even when DOZENS of code violations are discovered in just the basement they'll tell you nothing is wrong with the house and will refuse to check for similar problems anywhere else. Even when all of the countertops and cabinets in the house fall away from the walls, they'll say it's not a problem and it will take them 8 months to fix. Even when your floors sag all over the house and it's because of their shoddy framing job, they'll tell you there's nothing wrong with your house and take a year to fix it. Even when the cheap windows they installed in every room of the house crack and pop whenever there is a slight wind, scaring your family and animals, waking you up in the middle of the night, and you have sent them DOZENS of videos throughout the year proving the issue is loud and severe... they'll just send a guy over with little foam pads and Pledge to spray in the windows and say it's fixed (it's not). If you don't mind shortcuts, excuses, the blame game, and a total lack of care in the quality of these fairly expensive homes... Brookfield is the builder for you! God speed.
