I just read Ms. Kucik's response to my highly negative review of her and, true to form, she accepts…read moreno responsibility for her own shortcomings, and instead makes up a big pack of lies. (Either that, or she's confusing the sale of my property with someone else.) Her accusations are not only complete fiction, but are incredibly offensive. A prime example of how she treats former customers. After posting my review, I thought Ms Kucik might contact me to learn more about my grievances, explain herself, and perhaps explain her rationale for all the things she did to make our experience with her negative. A decent person would have discussed, explained, and tried to reconcile. Instead, she seems to be a bull in a china shop - wreaking havoc, and destroying things rather than seeking an understanding. In conclusion, her reply clearly demonstrates her mode of working with clients READ IT AND CONSIDER IT A WARNING.

She did a…read morewalk-through and gave us recommendations on what we needed to do to prepare our home for sale. Additionally, she recommended placing the home for sale after we had vacated the home. She knew our neighborhood really well. She produced an accurate predictive sale price despite the fact that we had a small home. Whenever we asked a question, if she did not know the answer to that question she would try to find an answer. She was very response to our email questions. She was a very good negotiator and she was not afraid to advocate for us to other prospective buyers. For example, She knew when to reject an offer and when to produce a counter offer. Even though moving is a stressful situation, she made this process a very smooth transition. We would be happy to work with her again and we highly recommend her.

Vicki Foster has to be one of the rudest people out there. I called a few days ago inquiring about…read morea property for rent and spoke to a young man. I asked if the owner of the rental property was willing to accommodate our dog. I never heard back. So, I called back this morning and Vicki Foster answered the phone. She said, "well, he he probably didn't call you back because there are 10 applicants ahead of you". I'm sorry but, this is extremely rude. Not only did your tone show that you run your business poorly but you have no morals. It would be a very lengthy review if I explained everything Vicki said that was rude and disrespectful. Her bio is a fraud. There was no professionalism or kindness. She clearly didn't care.

Vicki Porter, of Long and Foster is the agent you need to call! She is also very patient, kind and listened to our needs. She helped us cope with the stress involved with leaving our beloved homestead and downsizing to a smaller condo. Vicki helped my wife and I sell our house of over 31 years. We got an excellent price, amazing stipulations including a free rent back, all cash deal, not having to remove all our accumulated "stuff" and in the as is condition. And guess what, with her close relationships with local builders, our house was sold even before it went on the market! Wow! Vicki also helped steer us through the moving experience and even pitched in on our moving days and provided everyone with lunch on the final day! You just can't get better detailed service these days! In closing, we heartily recommend Vicki Porter as your real estate agent! She will do an outstanding job for you as she did for us!

Waited for lease, did not get update and on 11/30 she told us they were going with another applicant. She knew on 11/27 that we were not going to get the house but dragged us along just in case the other party didn't confirm. She is sneaky and not honest.

We engaged Carla to help sell a house and were not disappointed! She was highly recommended to us…read moreby a friend who had used her for a house sale. From the start, she was thorough and responsive. She met with us on short notice and spent several hours going through the home. We don't live in the house or in the area, and needed to find someone who could help manage getting a few minor repairs and painting done before the house was shown. She stepped in and kept us informed of progress while taking the lead on getting approved work done within about one week. She was very diligent about listing and conducting open houses, and by the end of the first weekend we had 5 offers, including several above asking price. We told her we needed someone to get us over the finish line and she delivered. Carla is also very personable and easy to work with. High recommend!

Having Carla as my realtor was the worst decision ever. She did not do her due diligence, she did…read morenot read through our contract, and left us stranded. She used her sweet charm to scam us. For her many years of experience in the field, she couldn't and didn't want to advocate for us. When we arrived at our closing walk-through. The whole house was filled with 80% of their stuff still unpacked. Carla sought out the seller's realtor for advice on this situation- the realtor told her we had to close today or we would lose the money we put down for the home. As an experienced realtor, why are you asking the other realtor guidance-especially a realtor who is looking out for the best interest of the sellers? The seller's realtor said the home was advertised for "as is" and that was not stated in the contract, throughout my conversation with the seller's realtor, Carla did not say a word- I was putting that realtor in check by reading her specific details from the contract. Unfortunately, we arrived at the house the next day with 3 tons of junk, expired food in the pantries and the refrigerator, mice feces and to top it all off we had highly flammable chemicals that could've burned down within minutes and on top of it the owners stolen and damaged thing that we inside and outside of the home. We had to take off from work and postpone our move, so we moved out the 3 tons of junk from inside the house to the garage for about 12 plus hours, then moved it again the following day onto a trailer. We used the rest of that day to clean the house the next day- it was so gross. Carla didn't care; the seller's realtor and Carla left for the Maryland Realtor Convention in Ocean City-they're truly besties. She left us stranded. We did not get much effort (but minor efforts) from Carla for the following reasons: 1) We did not have a home that she can sell while we were looking for a new home, 2) she will only make an effort if the home you're looking for is a million plus dollars home, 3) we are People of Color. Carla ignored us for a while when we lowered our home search costs. I wished I never met Carla because she is a person of words, but not of actions.

My mother passed away in 2023, leaving behind an estate that included eight properties ranging from…read morea million-dollar waterfront lot to Section 8 condominiums. Our family has trusted Laura for years, so she was our only choice to handle the sales. Our relationship with her began when she represented my son in purchasing his first home. She spent countless hours showing him properties, and when he found the right one, she dedicated even more time to inspections, document preparation, and negotiations. Despite the significant effort she invested, when the sellers were firm on an unjustified price, Laura advised my son to consider walking away. Her focus was on what was best for him, not on her commission. Ultimately, the sale went through when the sellers accepted the fair price my son offered. For my mother's properties, we trusted Laura's expertise completely, following all her recommendations on pricing and which repairs or updates would add value. She also advised us on what not to invest in, ensuring we didn't spend money on improvements that wouldn't be recouped in the sale price. Her extensive experience was invaluable; all eight properties closed within two weeks to four months of being listed. Most had multiple offers, and the one that took four months was delayed due to buyer financing issues. Throughout the process, Laura went above and beyond, often assisting the lender and buyer's agent with tasks that were technically their responsibility. She kept us consistently informed, so we never had to reach out for updates. With such a diverse and extensive portfolio of properties - spanning two counties, there were many moving parts, but Laura handled everything with professionalism, care and often - humor. It's rare to find an expert who combines such extensive knowledge with unwavering integrity and a commitment to always putting her client's interests first. A true pleasure to work with.

We didn't want to give it up, so she had her lawyer threaten us with being sued. Our own agent was shocked to say the least because she was a realtor and this was dishonest. She did offer a few other properties instead, a bait and switch tactic. We countered and decided after her second threat to be the bigger party and cancel the contract. She did pay our expenses, but we were on a deadline to purchase a rental property after selling one. She wasted our time and caused us major distress. Be wary of this woman. She may have been great previously, but this was a recent problem in the summer of 2024.
