We had to do multiple offers and had our hearts broken a few times, but ultimately we are so glad to have found the house we did.

We would recommend Kathy to our friends and family and plan on working with her in the future should we decide to move or sell.

Great service, sound advice!…read more Leyla helped me buy my first home in Logan Circle back in 2010, and Denny helped me sell it in January when I moved out of state. Leyla was super helpful and attentive and walked me through every step of the process so I could focus on what I wanted and not get lost in the transaction. And she was terrific about helping me narrow down my choices and criteria, and then zooming in and working hard to find me options once I settled on exactly what I wanted. I had total confidence in Leyla, and that made all the difference in the world, especially in a highly competitive market. Without telling you what to do, Leyla will give you the advice to get what you need at a price you can afford -- and in a way that takes the stress out of the process. Denny is also great. Along with assistance from both Leyla and Buddee, Denny made the selling process easy -- which was exactly what I needed as I was already mostly living out of state. And he helped me make some hard choices and navigate the market at a complex time, especially with COVID and its impact on the condo market. My wife and I first met Denny when we got together with him and Leyla back in 2016 as we first thought we were going to move. Turns out it took several years before we were ready -- and they picked up where we had left off without skipping a beat.

Knowledgeable, attentive, and caring don't even begin to describe these two. They are AMAZING people and are not only great at what they do but also a great pleasure to be around and work with. When you're working with them, you know you're being well taken care of and it truly shows. When it comes time for me to buy/sell again in the future or if any friends or family are in the market, I can guarantee I'll be referring them over to Denny and Leyla. Thank you again!

It started with contract negotiations and continued while under contract. If we didn't love the house so much we would have bailed. If you buy one of their houses, be prepared to wait at least 24 hours before you hear back about anything. They had 5 weeks to address inspection and other items per the contract and were working until an hour before closing to get it done. I will say the construction is well done. They were great getting to the 95% mark, but made it very difficult to get to that 100% completion point.

This was all in the midst of COVID-19 and a housing shortage. The Porter House International Realty group took care of us like we were their family, they educated us on the buying process; told us what a good offer would look like and advised us on how to bid on the property in today's competitive market. Once the offer was accepted, Porter House International Realty Group made sure that a property inspector that had our best interest in mind made a thorough examination of the property. The inspector they referred us to was educated, and took his time to explain every facet of our home to us, the good, the not so good, and what would need to be done. Once he gave us the all clear, we were certain that we had a solid property on our hands. From that point Porter House International Realty turned us over to the lender whom had already pre-approved us, but it did not stop there. Porter House International Realty continued to monitor the process even through the lending application and approval process. Porter House International Realty Group is a top notch organization. I can't say enough good things about them. They were key in getting our family our dream home in less than 60 days from pre-approval to loan closing . Their connections such as Ameris Bank, Velocity Title Company, down to the lawyer that handled the closings were excellent professionals that treated us with respect and dignity. They were thorough and explained everything so that we knew exactly what to expect. There were not surprises at closing and everything went smoothly. Porter House International Realty, if you are in a market for a home there is none greater! When I want to sell, buy or invest in property, Porter House International Realty will be my go to source!

As a tenant, I would ABSOLUTELY not recommend this property management company. I have had nothing…read morebut issues with them and my property manager. My ability to pay online was terminated over an issue with my roommate's account. I was never notified that it was terminated and when I logged in to pay rent, surprise I can no longer pay online. Instead of being helpful and fixing the issue like she had the ability to do, my property manager threatened me with late fees if I did not drop off a certified check with only several hours notice. She was also extremely unresponsive to maintenance requests. I was told that wires coming down in the yard and tearing siding off the house was "beyond a normal maintenance request" and I would need to get the problem fixed myself. If the roof fell in would that be beyond a normal request and on me to fix?! Oh and she also tried to schedule the walk through several days before my move out date and before I had the place professionally cleaned. I got her to change the date but it didn't really matter because she charged me for having the place cleaned again anyways! Oh well, at this point I was already so over Silver River and their ridiculous antics. I am so relieved to be moved out of their property and into a rental where I am actually communicated with and treated with respect. I would not recommend moving into any of their properties under any circumstances, they do not have the tenant's best interest in mind, clearly they are just trying to make a buck for the property owners.

Five years ago I talked with my husband about the possibility of moving away from DC because I was…read moreintimidated by the real estate. I didn't think it was for me. Property here is expensive, confusing, and competitive. And then we found Harry. He taught us so much, and gave us the confidence to not only purchase our first property, a condo, but later our forever-home in our dream neighborhood. He truly turned one of my biggest anxieties into one of our proudest accomplishments. Harry is a seasoned real estate professional who grew up in DC and has worked as a realtor this area since 1994. We worked with Harry for three transactions - purchasing our first condo in McLean Gardens, DC in 2015, then selling that condo and purchasing a standalone home in Kent, DC in 2018. I can't tell you how many times people have told me my husband and I have "gotten lucky" with real estate. I tell them we didn't get lucky - we hired the right realtor. Transaction #1 - Condo Purchase in 2015 When my husband and I decided to stop renting and purchase a condo in 2015, we had an initial meeting with Harry to discuss the process, our finances, our goals, and our desires. Harry is smart, organized, a good listener, and a hard worker - everything a buyer wants when they're placing their future in someone's hands. He's not at all pushy or salesy. He set us up to receive email notifications every time a property in our desired neighborhood became available. Often within hours of condos coming on the market, I would email Harry and request time to visit it. On almost every occasion he was with us checking out condos within hours of the listing going live - providing us with a necessary edge in a competitive market. When we found our dream condo just two months later, we needed to act fast. Harry not only visited the property with us on three occasions in three days, but was able to dedicate a few hours to walking us through the process of placing our first offer and all the necessary paperwork we needed to complete once that offer was accepted. He made sure we didn't miss any deadlines, connected us with a local, reputable lender and home inspector, got us all set up for the appraisal, then taught us about mortgage payments, escrow, and all of the other terms you may not understand the first time you're buying something. There's a lot of paperwork, and he went through every document with us. Closing went smoothly. Transaction #2 - Home Purchase in 2018 Harry next helped us go under contract for a home the week of our wedding. Which was in Maine. And the house was in DC. I can honestly say I would never have felt comfortable making as big an investment as we did in our current home without having had the previous experience we had working with Harry. We trust him. Upon finding the home, we contacted Harry and asked him to check out the property with us. On a day's notice over a holiday weekend, he was there. We spent a couple hours at the house, and he worked with us for hours that afternoon (this is on a day's notice!) to put in an offer. The offer was accepted and we hit the ground running. Harry worked with us to get all paperwork and negotiations in order and to conduct a lengthy inspection as we literally began our drive up north to get married. Think you can't buy a house and get married in the same week? Well you can - and Harry made it happen! In addition to helping us negotiate a below-ask offer on our home, he also was able to negotiate a significant closing credit for us since the inspection (with his recommended inspector) was conducted so thoroughly that some otherwise difficult-to-detect structural issues were found. He got quotes from local contractors on costs around these fixes so that when we went back to the sellers to request the credit, they agreed right away. Yet again, closing went smoothly. Transaction #3 - Condo Sale in 2018 As soon as our offer was accepted on the home we purchased, Harry set up a meeting to go over how we'd like to market our condo and when it should go on the market. Harry created an extremely customized book of information on the neighborhood and historical condo sales based on the size of our unit, layout, updates, etc. We discussed the listing price and time. We discussed staging vs. not staging. He recommended a staging professional to us, a painter, hired a professional photographer for the listing photos, and coordinated everything so it ran smoothly yet on a very specific timeline. We listed the condo on the market, and it went under contract in just four weeks for $8,000 over asking. We received a single offer at full ask, and Harry strategically called all previously interested parties which resulted in another offer, a bidding war, and a final close price significantly higher than we expected. Harry helped us act quickly, informed us so we could make intelligent decisions, and guided us. We always understood exactly where we were in the process, and closing went smoothly.
