We decided to put in an offer that same day and she coordinated with our lender after hours to get our pre-approval letter in place and our offer submitted by the following morning.

We ultimately prevailed and are now happily living in our new home where we are expecting our second child and plan to live in until they both graduate high school, and perhaps forever! Thanks Lauren for your hard work and helping us find and close on the home of our dreams.

I really cannot say enough good things about working with Lauren! Although we had heard from…read morefriends that buying your first home in DC was a total nightmare, Lauren made it seem like it was beyond easy and set us up for success at every step. We found EXACTLY what we were looking for and we ended up with the first house we made an offer on. From what I understand this is not the typical DC home buying experience and I 100% credit Lauren's expertise and network for making it so seamless for us. She is beyond helpful, a great negotiator, very responsive, honest, and will answer all of your home buying questions in a way that you can understand. I was really blown away with our experience and now recommend Lauren to everyone I know. Should we end up back in the market, I would definitely work with her again.

We are so grateful to have worked with such a terrific realtor! Her expertise, responsiveness, and…read morethoughtfulness are unmatched. When we were initially exploring options casually, Christine met us with patience, professionalism, and zero pressure. She truly followed our lead and gave us the space to think, while always prepared with thoughtful guidance when we needed it. As our plans evolved and we stepped into purchasing land to build, her expertise and initiative were invaluable. As buyers unfamiliar with the home construction process, she took time to educate us, as well as facilitated interviews with home builders. She helped us organize information and think through our options so we could make a decision with clarity and confidence. Because of her, we felt comfortable moving forward in what could have otherwise been an overwhelming process. When it was time to sell our existing home, she helped us mobilize quickly and strategically get it listed before the holidays. Her well-planned strategy and marketing efforts made a real difference - our house sold within just a few days. Beyond her knowledge and responsiveness, what really sets her apart is her kind, steady, collaborative nature - she is a true advocate for her clients. She listens carefully, anticipates your needs, and respects your priorities. Christine guided us through every step of the process (across three years!) and we are so glad to have worked with her. We recommend her to anyone looking for a sharp expert and trusted advisor.

She was very patient, checking in with us often, updating our home searches based on our wishlist items throughout the process, and even teaching us the real estate jargon and how to avoid money pits.  Her experience in this field cannot be matched. Her due diligence is unlike anything I've ever seen in a real estate agent. She has connections throughout her industry and the community, which is a testament to the wonderful, passionate, and hardworking person that Demetra is on a daily basis. Should you be so lucky to work with her, consider yourself in safe hands. We will forever work with her in our real estate endeavors!

A couple of years ago, my boyfriend and I contacted Susan after seeing her website to help us with…read morea search for a rental. Throughout the rental process, Susan treated us as if we were in the market for a multimillion dollar property, when in reality we were a couple of 20 somethings looking for a temporary rental! We enjoyed our experience with her so much that we contacted her again recently when we decided to buy our first home together. Susan's unwavering patience and unparalleled expertise found us the starter home of our dreams! She held our hands throughout the entire process and answered every single question with a smile (even 11 PM emails within minutes). It was all SO easy that we still cannot believe we are home owners. We went into the process a bit nervous after some friends had difficulty buying their first home. Well...we we had absolutely no problem and no stress in our experience with her. Everyone kept asking us, "isn't it supposed to be difficult?" Umm.. not with Susan! She approached every situation with a sense of realism and always kept OUR BEST INTEREST in mind. She is definitely the best in the business and has an expansive network of professionals to help with everything her clients may need along the way -- from home inspection professionals to repairmen. We are just crossing our fingers (and toes) that Susan will be there for any future home purchases. After working with her, we cannot imagine having any other realtor. Simply put -- we adore her!

We were getting relocated from Florida and were here for only 4 days to find a rental. On our last…read moreday we were put in touch with Susan, and as you can imagine we were pretty stressed, as we really hadn't found what we wanted, and were thinking we would have to just take whatever was available. She showed us a few houses, and the last one was a keeper. She was calm and professional, and was able to lower our stress level and help keep us focused on the task at hand. We loved the house we rented and when it was time to buy we of course wanted Susan's expertise and her advice again. She was so helpful and patient and knowledgeable when it came to all aspects of the home buying experience. As a former Realtor I felt like I was in great hands. She can negotiate and get information on the fly. She is just so great at what she does, and it helps the process go smoothly. We eventually found a foreclosure and was able to get through the hoops of the bank, again because of Susan's help. We are still here and we love it. When we need help again, Susan will be our choice. I highly recommend her to anyone, buying, selling or renting. She will be your guide and shining light. Thank you Susan! -Patricia Alexandria, VA

We accepted a full ask, no contingency offer! We could not be happier with Betsy's guidance and knowledge and the fact that she 100 percent knows how to market a home for sale! I could not recommend a realtor more than Betsy and her group as hey have guided my husband and I through this whole process with poise and ease!

My wife and I have worked with Betsy and her team over a period of 20 years now across 6 different…read moretransactions. First a rental when we were just getting married, our first home (buy and sell), our forever home (buy) and a vacation property as a getaway during COVID (buy and sell). Across this we experienced buyers' markets, sellers' markets, some truly wonderful buyers and sellers, and one difficult seller going through a hard time. Through it all, there was never a time that my wife or I could ever imagine a better shepherd to lead us through the difficult and convoluted process of home sales. She is truly a pros pro in every regard - examining the market, pricing the home, staging the home, negotiating a final price, and then the complex and legal process of closing. She is with you all the way guiding you and ensuring you find the right home for your family, negotiate the best price, employ proper risk mitigation steps during the contractual phase in regard to the home inspection and evaluation, and even address the occasional hiccup that occurs post purchase. She takes the stress out of the process by shouldering it for you. On our two home sales as an example, with Betsy guiding us we had multiple strong offers, WELL above asking, before buyers had even had a chance to get in and look at the home in person. It was all through the pre-marketing work she and her team do so well. I can't recommend Betsy strongly enough and wouldn't engage in a real estate transaction with any other agent.

My family just moved from DC to NoVa and Sarah Brown and her team handled both our sale and our…read morepurchase. I'll note that I met Sarah 4 years ago when we moved into our Brookland home and her family (who lives 2 doors down) dropped off cupcakes for us, along with their contact information. I immediately recognized her name and went yelling after them as they walked back to their home to let her know about our common bit of history, people, and places. We became fast friends and one of my biggest losses with this move is not being two doors down from the Brown family any longer. So when it comes time to choose a realtor (of which I have many among my friends), and the decision of whether or not to do business with a friend because you want to stay friends--I really had zero problem asking Sarah to help us. Over the course of 4 years I both heard her talk about her professional goals and dreams, and especially her expectations and standards for her business that she was building. But I also got to see her in action both as a neighbor and friend, and through social media. I was confident that Sarah has high professional and ethical standards and that she would do her very best for us, even if it meant pointing us away from a buyer or a new home that we liked and would cost her commission. My husband was not so confident, really not caring for the real estate business in general and definitely not understanding what realtors do that really justify the commissions. In fact, he sold his last home FSBO. I just kept repeating, "trust me, trust Sarah--she will do right by us." And she did! Without getting into every detail, we had a general timeline but no deadlines--we were just browsing the northern Virginia listings to see what was available within our parameters while we very slowly began packing up our home. But when you start looking, you start finding houses that interest you, then you start getting nervous that you're going to miss out. We found the first house we were interested in, and Sarah did her best with our offer, but our contingency offer was up against a non-contingency and we lost that, BUT the very next day another house came up in the same neighborhood that we liked. Sarah went back to the drawing board crafting, tweaking, tightening up our offer--again with a contingency, and we got it! We thought that was hard, but lo, nothing compared to selling our DC home. Now we had 8 days to get it live on the market, which really meant 6 days so that staging and photos could be finished in advance. Our 100 year old gorgeous DC home with tons of character needed a bit of sprucing up, but also, we needed to pack out the majority of the house to declutter. Lord have mercy, I diligently packed & organized day and night while my husband started on some projects around the home that had been put off but now needed to be finished. It quickly became clear that there was no way we were going to be able to accomplish everything we needed to do on our own (even with both of us home from work due to coronavirus). Sarah to the rescue! First, she helped by providing nearby storage for our decluttering process. She then hooked us up with a small contracting company pre-approved by Compass to basically paint the inside and outside of our home, and repair some stucco--the majority of payment for which would not be due until closing. She also kept our house from being painted key lime pie green, and color matched instead. Our house was listed on time, Sarah had one buyer already wanting to tour the house even before it went live, and within 4 days we had accepted one (of a few) offers that had no inspection or appraisal contingency, and with an escalation clause, causing the house to sell for above list price. When my husband and I tell you we could not have done any of this without Sarah Brown, we mean we could not have done any of this without Sarah Brown (and her team of top notch people)! She was not just a realtor, but our calm in the midst of the crazy, a marriage counselor, a general problem solver, someone who took our budgetary restrictions seriously, a decorator (yes, that was her furniture & flower pots on our front porch), a stellar negotiator, a contractor, and many, many more helpful things. So all I can say now is that if you ask my husband about this experience, he will definitely and without hesitation tell you that Sarah is the best and that she changed his mind about the value of a realtor, and that you should use Bidwell Properties to buy or sell your home (or both, like us!). I agree with him 100%.

I highly recommend Sarah and her team. She was extremely communicative and proactive, always making…read moreherself available for viewings at any time.

Long story short, in a very competitive situation, where the final decisions came down to two equitable offers (ours and another), the seller chose ours because Meg and her team (her network of inspectors, lenders, etc.) were professional, timely, and SUPER easy to work with. Literally, the seller picked us because of our AGENT and that was MEG! We went from seeing an email on Thursday, to getting preapproved on Friday, to visiting the open house on Saturday, to getting an inspection on Sunday, making an offer on Monday, and closing three weeks later. I am CERTAIN we would not have been able to do this without Meg. She can make. things. HAPPEN! (She has a great rolodex too. Need a sump pump guy? A carpet installer? A handyperson?

My wife and I interviewed a handful of realtors when we began our home search, and we felt so-so about each one. Within 30 seconds of meeting Meg, we knew she was the one. No hard decision or second-guessing there. Throughout our search, Meg was a constant advocate and a trusted confidant. She learned our tastes quickly and weighed in when we needed another opinion on a property we saw. (She was especially helpful in dissuading us from putting offers on properties we knew weren't right for us, but which we thought we *should* want.) Finding a home in this market can be demoralizing. Meg's warm personality and wise guidance kept our spirits high throughout. She knows NoVa inside and out, so we had the confidence that only working with the best can bring. In the end, she helped us find and close on our dream home--a great townhouse in a kid-friendly neighborhood that we're thrilled to be raising our daughter in. And she did it for a price well within our means! I can't imagine us having made it through the search process without Meg. And while I hope we stay in our home for many years to come, whenever we find ourselves eying the market again, I know who the first phone call I'll make will be to--Meg!
