In Oct 2020, Arynne marketed the sale of my neighbors house, closing $39k over the asking price; an…read moreoffer was made and accepted within two weeks of hitting the market. I knew then that I wanted this type of agent in my corner whenever I decided to sell my rental property, so I reached out. At the time, my property inhabited freeloading tenants using the pandemic public health emergency (PHE) to their advantage [and did so for over two years]. I explained my situation to Arynne and appreciated her keeping in touch, occasionally sending me updates re the PHE and what local legislators were doing. Fortunately, I got repossession of my property in May 2022 and our journey together began. My greatest concern before working with Arynne was not getting my property back, restored, and sold when the market was still good. Fortunately, my concern didn't come to fruition and everything worked out. The best part of working with Arynne was connecting with her on a personal level and her professionalism, she essentially did what she said she was going to do. I really appreciated her connecting me with several contractors, providing helpful suggestions on home decor, keeping me updated, obtaining pertinent documents on my behalf, and overall making the process easier. Accepting an offer and closing, respectively, within three and six weeks was our greatest achievement. I have learned that choosing the right broker, pricing the property right, and knowing the marketing plan upfront will save you money, time, and undue stress. The best advice I'd give someone considering a move would be to get an agent with experience, who understands the market, and acts in their best interest. Arynne's efficient, understanding, and will do her part in getting your property sold as quickly as possible. I'd gladly refer Arynne Crane to anyone interested in purchasing or selling a property. - Tori

Oh my goodness, can I tell you how great Arynne Crane is?! I and my elderly neighbor were being…read morestalked by developers with low ball offers for years. When her husband died, I offered to sell at the same time to help her get the best price, it was a good enough time to sell for me and she wanted to move on. The flood of low offers: 100k, 200k, even 400k less than our homes were worth! Again, oh my goodness!! We needed a realtor who was going to fight for us. Thankfully, I knew Arynne! She worked the phones, did her research, worked her contacts, was there for everything we needed. She got us an offer 200k more than anyone on our block of townhouses at that time! When my tenants refused to move (and to pay, that is a whole story unto itself), she stayed with us and kept the deal going. In the end, a good sale at a good price for all. Arynne Crane was the realtor we needed at the time we needed her and she worked a deal that won for all of us!

Liz is without a doubt the best real estate agent I have ever worked with and at this point she has…read morebecome part of the family! From start to finish, she made the entire process of buying and selling our condo seamless, stress-free and even enjoyable. She demonstrated an incredible understanding of the market, always provided honest advice and went above and beyond to ensure we found the right property, and subsequently the right buyer. What truly sets Liz apart is her dedication and attention to detail. Whether it was arranging last minute showings, negotiating fiercely on my behalf, or keeping me updated every step of the way, she made me feel like I was her top priority. I do not consider buying or renting a property these days without contacting Liz, because I know aside from being so knowledgable, even if it is not in her state, she has referral partners in each state in the US and globally. She is my trusted advisor for all things real estate. I have recommended her to several family members and friends. I will always continue to do so. If you are looking for an agent who is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about your needs, look no further than Liz! Thank you again for everything Liz. I know we will have many more real estate journeys to come.

Elizabeth is awesome! She is a great person and of course an incredibly great agent. As first time…read morehome buyers, we had numerous questions that Elizabeth with her expertise and experience in real estate, and her strong interpersonal communication skills, promptly provided answers to, of which we were immensely satisfied. With her knowledge in technology, Elizabeth made use of relevant search engines and real estate database to furnish us with a variety of homes for sale in the best school district. She was deligent with regards our specific needs as well as our budgetry limitations. When we found our dream home, Elizabeth and her team pitched in right away, within a very tight timeline, by setting up the walkthrough and guiding us on how to make an appealing offer to ensure the house could be ours. She guided us through the process and ensure that everything stayed on track. We will definitely be working with her again in the future. In you want a personable, helpful, deligent and communicative team, we highly recommend Elizabeth Cole-ridge Taylor. Mr & Mrs Sahid

I do not RECOMMEND this company at all. Karen Reynoso and her husband Fabian Reynoso are scamming…read moreand taking advantage of people (come to find out he's not even a Maryland licensed realtor). Fabian Reynoso has emailed and called my phone for two years to sell my property in Fort Washington, MD. After finally deciding to put my house on the market I contacted Fabian to get the job done on 7/4/18. I was ready to put my house on the market to rent or sell as is! Fabian convinced me to use a few contractors he knew to renovate my property to get it up to date. I told Fabian that my budget was $8,000 no more than $10,000. He understood and agreed. He had his wife come in Karen Reynoso as if she was an interior design person on 7/18/18. She gave good ideas and suggestions as to what should be done with the property. She suggested the laundry room being fully renovated, new flooring, turning two bathrooms into one big bathroom, painting kitchen cabinets and repainting the walls. I agreed as long as they could squeeze all of that within a $8,000 to $10,000 budget. Fabian and his wife Karen agreed with a witness being present. Fabian promised the house would be done within a week. He reassured me the contractor would start the following Wednesday. That never happened. The contractor started work on 9/16/18. I've called Fabian twice between July and September to tell him I no longer wanted his help or services because the over promises was simply costing me money and time. I've lost several possible renters giving Fabian my time and him not executing the plans as he promised on time and in time. Needless to say the contractor did not leave and finish his work until 10/17/18. On 10/17/18 I got a phone call from Fabian telling me his wife will send me a listing agreement contract and a contract for renovations for proceeds to be taken out during settlement. I was surprised that Fabian name wasn't on the listing agreement. After all work was done and no discussion or permission Fabian hits me with a $16,000.00+ bill. I was livid. That's not what we agreed on. I asked for an itemized bill after he told me he had to spend money on unexpected and miscellaneous things. I terminated my relationship with Fabian and Karen Reynoso and explained to them that I rather have an attorney deal with the situation because I felt they were not being upfront and taking advantage of me. Since then these people have proceeded to put a lien on my house. Karen has called me after and I have to explained to her that there was nothing to discuss and that we will settle this matter in court. She rudely told me I will pay her the monies and pay her attorney fees as well. I told Karen to never call me again. Since then Karen Reynoso has modified the original agreement. These people are fraudulent. I have also filed a complaint with Maryland Real Estate License Commission against Fabian for coming off as if he's a licensed Maryland realtor trying to represent me in a real estate transaction just to bait me in and then at the very end throwing me to his wife Karen who I thought was only his assistant and an interior designer. These folks are very tricky, greedy and have I'll intent. No telling how many other folks they have played these games with. So please be careful with this family owned business. This just makes me never want to trust anybody else in the real estate business ever again. Huge lesson learned. I have attached documents please check out where Karen modified the agreement of work that was done to my house for her husband Fabian. None of the things in the agreement was done to my house. Check out the itemized list which is also fraudulent doesn't even match the agreement. The agreement states post construction clean up (no construction was done to my house) laundry room floor renovation (no laundry room floor was renovated), trash pick up (bulk trash picked up)and garage paint (I have no garage). Also attach is text where Fabian is pretending to want to represent me as a real estate agent and is not licensed in Maryland come to find out! These folks are snakes in the grass!!! What's in the dark always come to light. Have a great day!

Charlet Shriner was more than a realtor to our family! She came in for an appraisal and my dad, my…read morehusband and I all felt at ease and comfortable with asking her questions and being up front about our budget and our finances. We were both selling our house and purchasing our next home. She kept us apprised about appointments of visitors for our home. We have three children and she kept that in mind when allowing clients to schedule appointments. She held an open house for us and Charlet shared the feedback for us to consider. She was honest and forthright with us. When looking at homes, she gave us honest opinions and things to consider. Charlet was very easy to get a hold of and was available through text messages, emails, and cell phone conversations. Charlet helped us find our perfect dream home and did so with thinking outside of the box. Charlet is absolutely wonderful to work with. It's like having a friend on the "inside" that is working for you. She really cares about her clients as well as the community and neighborhood she lives in.

It's often said that we don't appreciate the skills and experience of an airline pilot until…read morethere's a problem; I now think that may be true of a realtor. In the final weeks of closing the sale, several considerable and (very) unexpected problems emerged from the property inspection. Charlet went right to work leveraging her diverse contacts in the area and expertly resolved all of these issues - and the sale went through as planned and on time. In a real estate market as volatile as Northern Virginia, having a knowledgeable and well-placed realtor is the pivotal element of a successful sale or purchase. Charlet was engaged, responsive, and flexible in mapping out strategies that satisfied the seller (that's me) as well as the buyer, and I highly recommend her to anyone thinking about entering the market.

Linn was an incredible help to us when buying our first home. After going through a horrible…read moreexperience with a new construction builder, we were desperate to find a new home and unfortunately had a difficult time finding a realtor who understood what we wanted. It was difficult for us to vocalize exactly what we wanted in a home but knew that we would know when we found it, and we needed someone who was patient and dedicated enough to hang in there with us. Linn totally fit the bill and was a godsend. She was well-versed in all procedures and requirements. Even though we did preliminary research, she always showed up prepared and well-educated on each property. She gave us sound advice and a professional perspective without being overbearing or imposing. She was flexible with our difficult schedules and always showed up with a smile and great attitude. We ended up finding our dream home, and she quickly negotiated on our behalf, getting us everything we wanted at a great price. When we went to closing, we felt so lucky to have her there supporting us, and she truly made the entire experience so wonderful and seamless. We are very lucky to have found her and recommend her services to anyone buying or selling a home. She is fantastic and a rare find in the DC area. We truly cannot say enough good things about her!!!

We went and looked at a home 3 weeks ago or so and Ms. Payne was the one that showed us the home…read more The house was dirty and not ready so we didn't want it. She offered to do an internal search on places that meet our needs. From the list, we picked out a few places we were interested in. She said she was too busy that weekend, but that she would have time after the weekend. We sent her an email with a list of places that we were interested in again after the weekend. She got back to us later that week (not later that day) and most of the homes we liked were gone. We went and looked at one and liked it and asked if she could find out if they were ok with our move in date. The weekend went by and we never heard from her. She sent us a new list and we selected a few houses we were interested in. We still hadn't heard about the house we had looked at and waited until the next sunday before she got back to us. We looked at the house and it was filthy. Walls needed painting, carpets were dirty, grout missing in bathroom, cracks in the walls where the drywall met and the garage was full of trash. We told her we liked the place, but would like to know if the landlord was willing to work with us on the filth, such as cleaning it up or taking it off our rent for the cost of supplies for us cleaning it up. She said she would ask and that she would send us a new list. That was like 3 weeks ago. We found a house on our own. I'm sure the commission on a rental is not nearly the commission for a sale of a house. If she doesn't have time to help us she shouldn't have offered and she should have communicated that to us. She was very nice and had good information when we went and looked at the homes which is why I gave her two stars. I can't speak to her quality when selling or buying a house, but I would recommend looking elsewhere when trying to find a rental.

My wife and I mainly write reviews for the prospective buyers out there who, just like we were, may…read morenot know the ground truth in certain areas. Both Alex and Martine Irmer helped us both buy and sell in Old Town Alexandria. We couldn't not recommend them more! If we could have them for our future transactions (we're moving out of the area, we 100% would. Both Martine and Alex were very professional, gave us the upmost confidence in their knowledge of the markets, and served as a good advisor and friend through, what can be, a stressful process. I would argue they have the top pulse on the Old Town market, knowing block by block which homes are worth the value. In some cases, they had previously sold the homes and were intimately familiar with the history, the work done (especially in the case of renovations and flips), and past issues or complaints about the location. Alex went above and beyond to show homes in the market in two days, seeing over eight homes! He worked hard to show the pros/cons of each property, educate us on the inventory, and guide us to the right choice. In both the buy/sell negotiations, you NEED Martine Irmer on your side. She's very smart about real estate transactions, will defend you as a buyer/seller, and knows the landscape well. I would recommend to anyone out there looking to buy or sell, give Martine and Alex a call and talk with them about your goals, intentions, and plans. We happened upon Martine at an open house and we're forever grateful for it!

The Irmer Group recently assisted me with the sale of my Old Town home. Because I had already…read morepurchased a home before I put mine on the market, I was anxious about the process. I could not have been happier with the competent advice and level of service the Irmer Group provided, or more impressed by the way Martine Irmer fiercely advocated for our interests. They began by helping me identify the most cost effective and appropriate repairs and updates on our 120+ year old home to ensure a good sale price. They even assisted me in finding a reasonable and responsive contractor to do the work when my initial contractor fell through. They were excellent in communicating about the process, always listening to my concerns, and ensuring I knew the next steps and what to expect. They were also always available when I had questions, providing timely and insightful responses. We were impressed by how proactive they were in assisting us in finding the right buyers for our historic home, which came with all the quirks (uneven floors, etc..) of Old Town homes. Our home sold above the asking price on the first day we accepted contracts. When our first buyers unexpectedly decided to breach their sales contract, Martine Irmer did a good deal of hand holding and gave me valuable advice on how to proceed. Despite the hiccup, as soon as it went back on the market, our home sold again above the asking price in a timely manner. I am thankful we had such experienced and competent realtors to assist us through the complicated process. Knowing that we had someone we could trust and rely upon made all the difference. I highly recommend the Irmer Group. Their years of experience and passionate advocacy for their clients were a reassurance when the process unexpectedly got complicated and helped us obtain a positive outcome.
