One word: wow! Paul is truly a one of a kind agent. He is super professional, patient, and…read morefriendly. In the fast pace real estate market that is Northern Virginia, Paul was super understanding and patient. When other real estate agents pressured me to buy so they can get their commission and move on, Paul never made me choose and never made me feel like my relatively "small" budget was a waste of his time. I left my previous agent b/c he got tired of showing me houses after 3 meets b/c I needed to be "realistic" and settle for something less than stellar. I'm so glad I didn't listen. Paul never made me feel that way, whether it was 1 house or 5 houses, Paul trekked all the way from Haymarket to show them to me without complaining. I am so glad I met Paul b/c not only did he give me money back to help with closing costs, we found an amazing house in a great neighborhood and probably paid $30k below its real value. We definitely lucked out b/c there were 23 other offers and with Paul's help, I was the highest bid. I could not sing higher praises for Paul and I have a feeling I'll be using him again in the future. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend!

Jin was referred to us and highly recommended by a friend while we were stationed overseas. During…read moreour initial communications with Jin, she was incredibly pleasant, professional and provided a variety of internet and mobile platforms so that we could share our home search requirements and timelines. Jin learned of our quick turn around house hunting trip from a foreign country and graciously without hesitation adjusted her schedule on short notice to meet and conduct an in-depth and relaxed interview of our wish list. Jin dedicated a number of days to meet with us on any potential homes to be viewed and did so in a punctual manner with a positive attitude. We ultimately selected a prebuilt home that checked a number of our personal wishlist boxes and Jin acted as our complete buyer advocate and was incredibly responsive in any questions and issues that needed to be addressed and resolved with both the builder and Mortgage Company. Jin was incredible from the initial introductory meeting and ultimately all the way to closing. We highly and without hesitation recommend Jin to anyone is search of a true Real Estate Professional who is in search of a great home!

We don't usually leave negative reviews, but our experience with our former landlord and real…read moreestate agent, Jin Wickwire, unfortunately ended on a very disappointing note. While the home-buying process itself was smooth, our move-out experience was the complete opposite. As a family with young children, we were repeatedly questioned and made to feel uncomfortable over normal wear and tear......things like minor drywall nicks that are expected in any home with kids. These were already being addressed on our end with a contractor, as we had communicated. Despite agreeing to cover repairs and forfeit a $3,000 deposit, we were met with unnecessary comments and a level of aggression that felt unprofessional and unwarranted. It was especially disappointing given that we chose to work with her over many other options, expecting a level of trust and respect in return. We believe in accountability and were fully willing to take care of any legitimate damages....but respect and professionalism should go both ways. Based on this experience, we would not recommend doing business with Jin.

Second time we worked with Patty. Sold the house for more than asking, and did it in one weekend…read more We had 3 offers. Being prior military we have moved multiple times. We have bought and sold 4 houses over the past 20 years. Patty is the best we have worked with. She is professional in every regard. Responsive, knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile to ensure success. Best of all, she is honest. What she says, you can depend on. Trust her judgment and follow through because she will deliver on what she says she will do. Called her at all hours and she answered every time. She brought in Lisa to stage the house. Lisa, like Patty, provides the extra level of support you need. Even provided decorative items that added that little bit of ambiance to help sell the house. Patty is also connected throughout the community. We needed a painter, Patty recommended someone who came in quickly and delivered. We needed a plumber and electrician. Patty's people showed up when they said they would and got the job done quickly, and done right. Her electrician, on one-day notice, came at 8pm to fix a problem we needed done before morning. We planned to rent for a couple years until retirement. Renting proved more expensive than buying. Patty turned on a dime, found us our dream home on 10 acres, and got it at $35k below asking. Some agents claim to be "full service". We can tell you that Patty is the definition of "full service " and worth every penny. We look forward to working with her again.

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.

Copy pasted email sent to Linton hall realtors / real property mgmt after they kept our security…read moredeposit and charged us an additional $2700 We have rented with dozens of property managers over the years, and we have always left our living spaces in extremely reasonable shape. In fact, I'm not sure if we've ever even forfeited a security deposit. THAT statement alone should make this next even more valid: You are by far the lowest class company I have ever dealt with. I am absolutely appalled with the manor on which this branch of real property management does business. I'll be sure note terrible reviews with ALL of our networks including real estate agents and renters. ZERO of the items noted on move in were repaired, barely temporary bandages performed by the handyman, and we had to live with them for a full year. The property was NOT PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED UPON MOVE IN, grease caked on all of the cabinets and above the appliances. You note missing door stopper (which were barely hanging on when we took possession) and charge $150.00??????? That's a 2000% markup EASILY. Who is making these prices up? Bottom line, you expect a tenant to do YOUR JOB as the management company, essentially renovate the house move in ready for the next tenant, and pay for professional services that are incredibly inflated. SMALL NAIL HOLES AND PLASTIC ANCHORS IN THE DRYWALL ARE NOT EXCESSIVE WEAR AND DAMAGE. Plain and simple, this is highway robbery. You know it, I know it, and I'm not sure how you guys sleep at night knowing these are your policies. Consider printing this email out and posting in your office so all the faculty has to walk by it every day, knowing these are the standards of the company in which they work for. - Terrible communication and response time - NO FLEXIBILITY when a responsible and always on time with payments tenant was in a situation beyond our control to extend lease by just a few days. - Unprofessional and half done "repairs" - Price gouging at the HIGHEST level - Selective resources, ONE OPTION for cleaning companies and landscapers which I wouldn't at all be surprised if those companies were under real properties umbrella. I'm all for companies making a profit, and we appreciate big companies taking on the risk of ownership so that we can keep our expenses low and rent from them, but we expect people to do what is RIGHT. This situation is far from right, and you'd be just as disgusted as I am if it were to happen to your son, friend, or even distant acquaintance. I hope you guys improve on your business practices, or real property (perhaps just this franchise) will soon be just another failed company because they weren't humble enough to follow the golden rule.
