Great understanding of the market, were able to find a good tenant in a few weeks and always provide good feedback and guidance. Their web portal makes transactions and record keeping easy. I've read some of the negative reviews about lack of communication, but my experience working mostly through Alex Cholet, and briefly with Mo has been very positive. On all occasions they have been prompt, courteous and helpful.

I've been using Flat Fee Landlord to manage my property and am pretty dissatified with the service…read more They are unorganized and communicate poorly. Flat Fee did not set up an online account for my property until 2 months into the lease, nor did they communicate with me to confirm the status of the property. I couldn't check my account balance/had no way to verify if the rent payment was actually coming in. When I attempted to contact them to ask, I had a very hard time getting anyone on the phone. Also, one set of the keys I left was lost even before the tenant moved in. In attempting to schedule a repair for the property, they scheduled an appointment with the wrong type of repairman (HVAC for a plumbing issue). I'm just hoping the travel fee from the HVAC repairman doesn't get passed on to me.

I wholeheartedly recommend Sam Chim for all of your real estate needs. He is extremely…read moreprofessional and knowledgable. The thing that I appreciate the most was that Sam was on top of everything. I never had to call and ask him where we were on any issues. He was always available even though he was very busy. He always made time to help us navigate thru the sometimes frustrating process of buying a home. He was always encouraging and really was great at taking control of a negative situation (and there were many) and finding a solution that was good for everyone involved. He's always responsive be it texting or email. Once we made a desion on a house he guided us thru every aspect of process of home buying and was very accommodating to our schedule even while he was on vacation. Now thats dedication! To say the least I strongly recommend Sam Chim and his excellent hardworking team at Bankable Reality for all your real estate needs. Thank you so much Sam for helping find us our dream home.

Once we determined none of the existing inventory fit our needs, he helped guide us through the purchase of a lot and a custom home construction. During the negotiations, he kept me from negotiating against myself and helped fill in gaps in knowledge by using his resources at Sotheby's. Bottom line, I trust him, and I will be using him for future transactions. UPDATE: In April '17, I put up a condo I owned up for sale, and used David as my agent. Once again, he did a great job. Took care of the staging, took great photos and helped me get a very good price for my place. Once again, he helped keep the sale steady, never lowered the price, because he *knew* that the condo would sell. He was right. Thank you, David!

Kara Ellis - Can't say enough good things. Go with her, the best…read more Kara found me my first home. I worked with her after unsuccessfully hiring two other realtors who were unsatisfactory. Kara is who you want on your side. The DC area real estate market is complex and she brings intimate knowledge of the market, excellent skills in negotiating and the experience to close contentious deals with unflappable professionalism under pressure. What is most important though is her integrity and honesty in acting in her clients best interests and tenacity in seeing you through what can be a challenging process in such a tough market. She found me my house 2 days before an open house was scheduled, we went to see it that day and made the offer. The seller rejected the first offer, we counter offered, they countered, and we negotiated and finally met the price point within my budget and that satisfied the seller. She also has great knowledge of the mortgage procedure, grants etc. which can be a major benefit to homebuyers. I put Kara under a lot of pressure to find me exactly what I needed on a tight timeframe and she delivered. She also stuck with the sale well after the close to ensure that everything was handled by the seller satisfactorily. She is also very nice, and will be a calm, respectful, conscientious ally in all things related to real estate.

Literally 1+ year later I emailed them and he remembered me by name. Wow! That really impressed me. I needed their help to find a tenant and rent out my investment property at the Bryson in Herndon. I didn't have high expectations because I heard from other agents that things were slow because of coronavirus. Despite the COVID-19 situation they were able to get my property rented in a little under three weeks! I know they list and sell condos as well so I'll certainly be getting in touch when the market is right. Shout out to "The Worker Bees".

We have used Amrish at NVA Condos over the past several states years for tenant acquisition and,…read moremost recently, to sell a condo. We highly recommend him and his company! My husband and I are pretty experienced homeowners having bought and sold 8 properties over the past 20 years. Amrish is truly one of the best in the business. He is outstanding and fast in finding high quality tenants and in marketing condos for sale. In each case of tenant acquisition, he secured individuals who were absolutely model tenants...Quiet, clean, no damage, and paid their rent early each month! Regarding our recent sale of a condo, Amrish came through again. It was a unique property with virtually no comps, so we worked together to figure out the right price and he had great marketing ideas and process. We priced it relatively high and figured it might sit a while in http://bigtalk.isbm.org/rder to find the right buyer. In fact, it sold very quickly and we received two full-price offers. It closed quickly and easily. What a pleasure it has been working with Amrish. He is a great advocate, a great marketer, detail-oriented, and highly professional.

The team at Brandon Green and Associates are just phenomenal! i can't say enough positive things…read moreabout these folks. Troy was thoughtful, attentive and detail oriented during the search for my first condo. He found just the kind of properties I would be interested within my very modest price range..and then, when I told him on Dec 1st that I needed to pick a property, put in an offer, sign a contract and close before the first of the year, he said "alright then!" and got it done. And then...he helped me move. I kid you not. He showed up with a pick-up truck and HELPED ME MOVE. I really think he might be a prince. : ) Bottom line: If you are looking for a first rate organization to support you from end to end of the home buying process, BGA is the place to find it.

In addition to being new, we were also moving from Georgia to the DC area (just on the MD side of the district) after finishing grad school and joining the full time working world. Plus, we had some messy issues with getting proof of the upcoming job. Clearly, it wasn't the simplest situation for us. Thanks to fellow yelpers, we found Troy and he helped pave the way. Beginning with a detailed presentation on Skype, he introduced himself from states away and made sure we understood the basics of the process to come. As promised, he was excellent at showing me homes in our price range and convenient to my sweetie's job. Not a single home was a stretch for the financial boundaries we had set, and he had a great deal of insight into what would be involved in updating the various properties. He also was understanding of our needs for a pet-friendly home. Last but not least, he had a lot of resources (for everything from mortgage people to pet sitting) and has continued to offer help with updating projects after the purchase was made.

We used him to help us…read morebuy a house in DC and he navigated us through the various neighborhoods (we ended up settling in LeDroit Park, which was perfect for us), the ins and outs of pricing, and our FHA 301k loan. Depsite the fact that we loved our house in LeDroit, we ended up moving to Philadelphia last year. We, of course, turned to Kevin when selling and, again, he was great. Our house sold (for asking price!) within a week! I highly recommend Kevin if you are a first-time buyer or seller. He is kind and caring and really treats you like a friend, more than a client.

Kevin was recommended by comments left on the Prince of Petworth blog and I gave him a call. From our first contact through our closing a few months later he was wonderfully personable and supportive. In particular, Kevin's style of client relations is very effective in searching for properties. He took our budgetary limits, desired size, and neighborhood preferences seriously but didn't try to steer us toward only a few properties based on his quick impressions of what we said. He was willing to look at as many houses and condos as we wanted and gave us his valuable insight on each, but ultimately created a relationship were we trusted him to help us make up our own minds. He was also very quick and helpful in answering the many, many (often inane) questions we as wide-eyed first time homebuyers had. He gives the impression of being unflappable, which is very comforting, particularly as we negotiated pretty aggressively with the seller. In the end, Kevin helped position us into an outcome that got us a lot of house for the money and kept us below the upper limits of our budget. As a resident of the District and the general area we ultimately bought a home in, Kevin was also a font of information. He made an effort to learn something about us and pointed out restaurants and planned developments he thought we'd like. Because our budget limited us to parts of the city still being redeveloped, his knowledge and perspective were invaluable.
