From day one, he truly listened to our needs and gave thoughtful recommendations about what would be a good long-term investment versus what might end up being a money pit. He wasn't the type to push for a quick sale--in fact, he pointed out property damage and issues we might've missed on our own, which really built our trust. He stood out among all the other real estate agents we attempted working with. Thanks to his guidance and expertise, we ended up getting our top-choice home in just eight days! The process was seamless from start to finish. Even recently, when we needed to relocate, Peter offered to help us find renters and has continued to be supportive. We'll absolutely be working with him again when it's time to sell. As first time home buyers, we felt we got amazing value for the services provided. Highly recommend Peter and the Red Cedar Real Estate team for anyone looking for a knowledgeable, genuine, and reliable agent.

Peter and his team are exceptional, highly responsive, and well-informed. We met Peter in 2015 and…read morepurchased a home in Maple Lawn. The best way to describe Peter and Red Cedar is high touch, white glove - concierge service. Peter knew the market and had a powerful team of equally adept realty professionals. Nothing happened without Peter's knowledge and he always focused on what was best for us: Initially meeting through closing. Here's where the professionalism goes to another level - Peter builds relationships with his clients, throws mixers, and checked up on us a couple of times per year. And, he DIDN'T ASK US FOR THE NEXT DEAL each time he subtly checked in on us over 5 years! He and his team cares about you - long term not just to get a sale. After 5 years of relationship building, we called Peter and the Red Cedar team for support. He came over. We completed representation paperwork, his AMAZING 360 degree Ariel and interior video/photography genius turned up and transformed our house into a buyer's beacon that sold our home within 24-48 hours of posting - FULL PRICE OFFER!!!! This is Red Cedar - all day long. After getting an offer, Peter and his team coordinate every document, appointment, and follow-up like a well oiled machine. The signing appointment was completely painless without any hiccups in the paperwork or payout - again, Peter and Red Cedar are professionals and the service providers (Ex. Title Company) were exceptional too. Thanks Peter and Red Cedar for your exemplary support, education, and caring over 5 years!

Working with Donna was a very frustrating experience. She was the selling agent on a house we just…read morebought and I'm still blown away at how disrespectful she was to me, my husband and our agent. She dropped the ball on major communication related to contractual obligations which did cause issues on the day of settlement. We were very close to walking away from a home we love. She stages beautiful homes for which she takes an extra percent. More importantly, she does not fulfill the basic duties of her job and leaves it all to her assistant, Kate. In our case, she put her sellers at risk of loosing a sale because of her lack of follow through. I would never want to work with an agent like her.

My wife and I decided it was time to move out of our 1 bedroom 1 bath condo into something a bit…read morelarger. We weren't exactly sure what we were looking for, so we did a little house hunting on our own. We met with a few realtors and looked at a few houses, but we didn't find who or what we were looking for. We decided we needed to find a realtor that knew the area and could tell us about the character of the neighborhoods where we were searching. The Donna Kerr Group had some good reviews so we decided to give them a try. It's a small firm that really knows the Internet well. We sent a short email with our contact info, search area, and basic wish list. We immediately got a response from Donna, who referred us to Lewis Temple. Lewis came to meet us at our condo, and had in hand a binder he made for us of areas we should look at, graphs showing property values, school ratings, etc. So we decided that we'd let him show us some things and go from there. Lewis and the Donna Kerr Group do this amazing thing; they set up an Internet search with your specific requests and desired locations. All you have to do is sort the properties into three categories: yes, no, and maybe. We clicked and sorted and came up with a very, very long list. Lewis helped us narrow down our choices; he has an extensive knowledge of the metro DC area, various neighborhoods, and even local realtors, builders, and contractors. We spent a few afternoons driving around with Lewis and looking at homes. Lewis was patient with us as a picked our way through a large list of homes, telling a little history of the neighborhoods and showing us the local haunts. After a month of searching we found our dream home! Lewis helped us put our offer together, and I can now say that we are very proud homeowners. He helped us find exactly what we were looking for in a home and neighborhood that we love. Lewis stood by us through the whole process. As a side note, Lewis is also a master electrician and was able to point to details in the construction of the homes we looked at that even our home inspector missed. Next it was time to sell the small condo we called home for so many years. Lewis sent in his expert, Cara, who told us exactly what to do to de-clutter and stage our condo. She even picked out paint colors for us, and found a painter who could come that same week. Once we de-cluttered and had a little touch up painting done, Cara came back and took the most amazing photos of our condo. The condo was on the market the next day with a perfect description, her beautiful photos, and an open house that weekend. Our condo was under contract at asking price unbelievably fast, less than one month after we listed it. They even designed a unique website for our listing! We have now settled into our beautiful new home and absolutely love it. I can't express how great our experience with this team of service-oriented professionals has been. They are very, very good at their jobs, and they are wonderful people. I recommend that if you are looking to buy and/or sell your home you try Lewis Temple and the Donna Kerr Group!

Thank you, Franky and Team!…read more If you are looking for a house in the DMV area, Franky is the perfect agent! HE IS THE PERSON WHO HELP US TO FIND THE HOUSE JUST WITHIN THE 2nd OFFER in NICE AREA! My husband and I met Franky at one of the open houses in Washington DC. At that time, we didn't have any idea about the home-purchasing process. Even Though we searched online, we still got lost since we didn't know what the first step was and what our priority was. Franky helped us to understand the overall process, and encouraged us to think about our future life to set the goal of home-purchasing. Even Though we were not his clients at the moment, he gave us a 1-hour presentation of the whole process with the pamphlet. When we decided to go with Franky, he tried his best for us to find our FIRST HOME with some of our considerations. Since both of us work full-time, he made house-tour appointments or meetings (regarding making offers) after work hours. After our offer was accepted, Franky and his team gave sufficient advice regarding everything, such as locking the mortgage, depositing, final walk through, and the settlement! It took only 6 weeks to move into the new home since we started to look at the house to buy. As you can see my name, I am a foreigner and the whole process seemed overwhelming for me. However, Franky helped my husband and I to relieve the stress by communicating with the selling agent and title company. (Oh, I heard that he speaks English as well as Spanish). If my friend who came from foreign country asks me to recommend any agent, I will recommend FRANKY and his team! I am writing this review in my new, cozy room, where I dreamed about since I immigrated here. I can convince that if you work with Franky, you will never regret.

Judi Shields was very involved with her personal life to adequately represent me. She was busy with…read morea family wedding and unavailable for days at a time and did not explain the addendum's she had me sign, costing me an extra half of a percent in commission. Additionally she left the country during the sale of the house and never told me that she was thousands of miles away for the closing. She said she had "other commitments and would be available by phone for the closing"! In fact, she was in a time zone seven hours ahead of Eastern Time and not readily available at all. She left Dan Metcalf in charge and if I called him, he would tell me that he wasn't the listing broker. The pièce de resistance was him leaving a message with the Title Closing Officer that I "wasn't nice" I have a photo of the message if anyone wants to contact me privately to see it. These people were supposed to be representing me! I had some questions the night before closing and instead of speaking to me, Judi & Tamar responded by threatening me with legal action accusing me of being in breach of contract if I didn't go to the closing in the morning. Gali, the supposed owner, left me a text message or email while I was driving to the closing asking if I was going to the closing and if she should come. I saw it when I arrived at the closing. I responded immediately that I was at the closing. She called a little while later screaming at me that her time was valuable and did I want her to come from Takoma Park to Rockville. I said I did. By the time she arrived the closing was finishing up. She did not say one word to me and no one from this group got in touch to even offer congratulations on the sale of the home. I strongly suggest that you look elsewhere for an agent. They are only interested in cashing your check

Dawn was recommended because my wife and I were a little indecisive and could not decide between Virginia and Maryland. Since she's licensed in both Virginia and Maryland, she was able to show us houses in both states; she must have shown us 50 houses. Once we found our home, Dawn guided us through the entire process from bidding through closing. Dawn patiently explained every form we signed and every step and every option we had until we closed on the house. We could not have asked for a better teacher than Dawn for our first home buying experience. Later, we finally were ready to move up to a bigger home and Dawn again came through for us. We found a house we liked and asked Dawn to help us buy it. Offers were required quickly and Dawn immediately found us a mortgage specialist who could get us a pre-approval letter for the offer. We had a weekend and Dawn was able to put together the winning offer on the house that weekend. After we moved, it was time to sell our old townhouse and we were blown away with Dawn's expertise in selling. We hadn't updated the house at all and we were behind on maintenance, but Dawn helped us put together a plan to get the best price for our house. She created a list of improvements we could do that were cost effective; picking out all the furnishing and fixtures to maximize our selling price. She found a general contractor to do all the updates and kept us abreast of their progress. She also guided us through Compass Concierge so we didn't have to pay immediately for any of the improvements. After construction was done, she helped us find cleaners to clean the house and a staging company to stage the house. The house was completely unrecognizable; it looked like something out of HGTV. We sold within a weekend, 25K over our asking price. We were so pleased that we also recommended her to my parents to sell my grandfather's house. She worked her magic and transformed the stale 1980's interior into a modern interior. There was a bidding war and my grandfather's house sold for 90K over asking. My aunts and mom cannot stop raving about her. Whether buying or selling a house, I cannot recommend Dawn more.
