    Obtaining the services of a real estate agent is much more than "finding someone to sell your…read morehome". This is especially true if you are selling an inherited property as I was earlier this year. A good real estate agent will know the area, know the laws and rules and will help assess your home and get it listed and sold for a "good price". A great real estate agent is a counselor, a partner in your effort, someone who "has your back" throughout the process in addition to doing all of the real estate work. Philippa Main is an *outstanding* real estate agent and an even better person. My father passed away leaving a home in Woodbridge, Virginia - the home in which I grew up and which contained almost 50 years of possessions. I contacted Philippa in March of 2026 to discuss its potential sale even as the house was in significant disarray while I engaged in the slow process of cleaning it out and sorting through the many things my parents had accumulated over the years. When she visited the home, I looked around and threw up my hands. Philippa looked around and said, "we can make this happen." I sought her out specifically because she mentioned having expertise in sales of homes that are inherited - a particular niche that involves a delicate dance of handling family dynamics, wills, probate laws and determining what, if any, money should be put into renovations or improvements that will get a reasonable return on the investment. From our first conversation over the phone - which she took time to do in the middle of a busy weekend - Philippa was incredibly personable, easy to talk to and anticipated many of my questions and many of my concerns as we talked. By the end of our conversation, I felt like I was chatting with a friend who had expertise I needed. Over the following three months, she was a (rapidly-responded-to) text or phone call away as I navigated getting the house ready for sale. She helped outline a schedule and a plan to list the home. She connected me with a large network of trusted service providers from junk removers to contractors to painters to flooring experts from whom I obtained estimates and some of whom I contracted to help clear out the house and prepare it for sale. While she always reiterated that she would back any decision I made regarding the house, I always sought her counsel when making major decisions such as whether or not to spend money on renovations and, if so, which ones were most important. Of course, there were obstacles - some amusing, some less-so - but Philippa helped me handle each one with a confidence borne of having "seen it before". That is an incredibly valuable thing when dealing with a stressful situation. In the end, the home was listed in June and had nearly seventy showings in three days. The house sold for well over its asking price and after all of it I know some things: The home could have been sold by another agent. But few, if any, others could have been a partner in the process the way Philippa was for me. She was a trusted resource, a confidant, a person who knew when to inject humor into a situation and when helping me vent was what was needed - she understands people and the process of selling an inherited home in addition to being a brilliant real estate agent who knows the area and who knows how to get the job done. I couldn't recommend her more for ANY real estate work but, especially, if you face the task of preparing and selling an inherited property.

    Philippa is a phenomenal realtor. She is very knowledgeable about the Arlington market and is…read moreespecially skilled around selling inherited homes. Her warmth comes though on every interaction. If you are selling a home in northern VA or selling an inherited home in this area, I highly recommend reaching out to Philippa. She is very generous with her time and skilled at what she does. You won't be disappointed!

    When it comes to people skills & salesmanship, I don't think I have encountered anyone in the real…read moreestate industry as impressive as people at Gemini. But when it comes to integrity, their practices are very ummmm questionable, if not outright fraudulent. Before I got into this real estate transaction, I had my dream team trio (Best real estate agent, best loan officer, best settlement office/attorney) which I had been using for numerous transactions for decades and would trust them with my life. Armed with that, my lowball offer on an REO property got accepted, only because I could close within 14 days or less (been doing that for almost a decade). And here's when I was introduced to Gemini.... I received a phone call from Gemini right after I get my ratified contract telling me that they are handling the seller's side, and if I use them, I would save thousands on buyer's title insurance (which was a lie, it was a lot less than that), and since everything is almost done on their side, they can close as soon as I want them to close (another lie). I confirmed if they can close within 10 days, and their exact response was "if your lender can close tomorrow, we can close tomorrow!" (It is scientifically and legally impossible to do that, and I take part of the blame for not sensing this lie/sales tactic). And everything would be smoother without any hiccups (it could actually be true if Gemini was competent settlement office).... So I went with them... BIG MISTAKE... Fast forward, my lender took care of her part in a week, 48 hours prior to the closing, when I get my disclosures from my lender, I call Gemini to confirm, and find out they haven't even gotten started on their part.... And don't know when they can get started... Or tell me for sure how long it could take, maybe weeks, maybe months, they are just busy at this time. Their reason: The person you spoke with at Gemini was not aware of the closing process or our workload. His job is to earn your business! We apologize for the inconvenience and we make sure we will have a staff meeting regarding this issue. The result: The closing got delayed, went past my rate lock, I lost lots of time from my day job, had to reschedule all the contractors, I lost out on the ability to close in the summer time which was exactly a $17,700 loss (in future REI income), an unwinterized REO stayed vacant and open for an extended period of time (when I finally took possession, the windows were busted and most of the appliance were gone, go figure...). The icing on the cake: There were major (10+) violations that they failed to discover/disclose during title search which I'm still trying to fix (the primary job of a settlement company)

    Thank You Gemini Title & Escrow for your service, sincerity and integrity. Your hard work and our…read morenetworking together helps build our success. Special thanks to Matthew Scouten & John Hodges and the Gemini team for making us feel welcomed at anytime.

    We worked with Linda Mujica from First Class Title. Right from ratification of contract to closing,…read moreshe kept us up-to-date on progress, never missed a beat responding to any questions we had. It was such a pleasure to work with thoroughly professional woman and strong work ethics. I would give five star to this Title company due to people like Linda Mujica working there. The process was not easy since we were dealing with Short Sale but Linda made it easy for us by keep us well informed. sually there is a delay mainly from seller/banks but not from this title company. Thank you for hard work, dedication, professionalism and wonderful attitude.

    I made an offer on a home recently (and ultimately purchased) and First Class Title reached out to…read moreme and indicated that the bank that was selling the home would cover a significant amount of the owner title insurance if I chose them to perform the title work and closing with them. I did. Mistake. HUGE mistake. The home was a foreclosure and because of that, my mortgage broker and real estate agent insisted that specific language be inserted into the contract. At the heart of this, there were 2 issues: 1.) The entity that owned the home, had deeded the property to another entity. So to ensure that I was purchasing the property from the correct entity, language needed to be put in the contract via an addendum indicating who had the deed and who was the actual seller. 2.) Language needed to be removed from the contract that would allow the seller to make document modifications AFTER the closing had taken place. Both of these requests took WEEKS to be completed. Each request was a one pager to be included with the contract. As a result, we didn't close ontime and we almost lost my interest rate lock. The contract changes were the kind of stuff that someone could complete in 10 minutes or less. It was only because of my tenacious mortgage broker and real estate agent that we were able to have a successful closing a couple days late. It was the first mortgage in over 20 years my mortgage broker didn't close on time with. First Class Title is massively disorganized, rude and forgetful. Multiple times we were told we would have the documents at a certain time...only to have to call them up and ask them where the documents were...and only to have to re-explain why we were calling and who we were. If they offer to pay part of your closing costs (title insurance)....DON'T TAKE THE OFFER. You're better off avoiding these people, paying the extra money and having a less stressful closing. Their website says "Your real estate closing on your new home or commercial property shouldn't be a grind!". My experience with them was definitely a grind...in a bad way. The old adage of ....you get what you pay for.....definitely applies here. Avoid them at all costs!!!!!
