This letter will serve as my very high letter of recommendation for real estate agent and broker…read morePhilippa Main. She assisted my brother and me with the sale of our parents' home in April 2022. I have worked with many real estate professionals on several transactions over the years and can say with confidence that Philippa is one of the best I have ever used. Philippa has the qualities that make her an extremely successful and effective agent. We found her extremely knowledgeable and well-attuned to the super fast-changing market of early 2022. She was always attentive to our concerns and very responsive to questions, often responding immediately no matter the time. She showed great attention to detail enabling the sale to be made in less than a week. Our mother had recently passed away and we were raw with grief. Furthermore, we live in California, so it was even more important that we could rely on someone like Philippa to take the reins from beginning to end and that is exactly what she did. She was able to interpret and solve all the questions pertaining to our mother's Trust without the need for outside lawyers, and this was a great convenience to us. We also feel that we got the highest price possible for the house based on her pricing strategy and advice. Philippa exceeded our expectations in every way. The sale went very smoothly and we closed on time. I would not hesitate to recommend Philippa to anyone in need of a listing agent or for the purchase of a home. We interviewed three other agents before deciding on Philippa and she did not disappoint. Every detail was perfect, from the fantastic professional photos, the listing description, to the impeccable transactional aspects leading to the close of escrow. In a nutshell, she is a top tier professional, intelligent, tenacious, fun and talkative, bright and conscientious. If you need an agent/broker then hire Philippa Main. You won't be disappointed.

She was helpful and on top of everything. It was great to have open communication and lots of access for their questions and concerns. Every time they had questions, she was responsive and available. Her knowledge about the market and the selling process was valuable and informative. Given all of the steps of selling, Jin stayed so involved and had good relationships with other service providers as well, like cleaners and movers. She was present for the walk-through and settlement with my family, and she attended every meeting with the new home builders. That kind of presence and hands-on involvement was so important and something that can't be taken for granted, because other agents do not have that level of care. For any future inquiries, my family is happy to recommend her services.

We don't usually leave negative reviews, but our experience with our former landlord and real…read moreestate agent, Jin Wickwire, unfortunately ended on a very disappointing note. While the home-buying process itself was smooth, our move-out experience was the complete opposite. As a family with young children, we were repeatedly questioned and made to feel uncomfortable over normal wear and tear......things like minor drywall nicks that are expected in any home with kids. These were already being addressed on our end with a contractor, as we had communicated. Despite agreeing to cover repairs and forfeit a $3,000 deposit, we were met with unnecessary comments and a level of aggression that felt unprofessional and unwarranted. It was especially disappointing given that we chose to work with her over many other options, expecting a level of trust and respect in return. We believe in accountability and were fully willing to take care of any legitimate damages....but respect and professionalism should go both ways. Based on this experience, we would not recommend doing business with Jin.

We recently worked with Lara Hopewell to buy our new home in Loudoun County and she was awesome to…read morework with from day 1. She spent time giving her perspective on the market and easing my concerns about getting started before we had a formal contract with her. She was willing to see many houses throughout our search as we looked at too small and too large homes until we found one right in the middle. Lara was fun to work with, she was always upbeat and helpful. More than anything we felt like Lara was 100% focused on our needs as a family, not about closing a quick deal, not about optimizing her commission, and not about what would have been easy. She felt like part of our family and that she was as invested in finding the right thing for us as we were. She was always thinking strategy for us when she saw we had some interest in a home, and her communication with the other agents was awesome as this approach helped us gain insights and positioning. She talked us through the strategy to make our offer to win against 7 other buyers and we still felt like we got great value for our home. Our only regret is that we used a different agent to sell our prior home and it would have been much smoother and more positive experience with Lara by our side! We also worked with Kim and Kristina at different portions of the closing process and both were great, they were communicative and responsive and gave great information when we had questions.

Our realtor highly recommended Stockman Title. We as the buyer's trusted our realtor. After we…read morepurchased the home, a very costly, avoidable and serious issue came up with our home after the sale, that required us to hire an attorney to handle as a result of Stockman Title and our realtor. Very important and critical conversations and e-mails were exchanged between the Atoka realtor and the title company that we were never even privy too. We find this very unethical. We were purchasing the home and why were we not included in these conversations and e-mails?  Again, we were not included in these e-mails and conversations. We were the homebuyer's signing our lives away. Because of this single conversation that we were not privy too, a very important transaction as part of a home purchase was not conducted, and resulted in us having to hire an attorney, costing us a lot of money. Our attorney had to resolve this issue, which was lengthy and which could have been totally avoided if we were included in these conversations. Never once did Stockman Title explain anything to us about this specific item, even though he took our money for specific insurance coverage, if this issue and/or item should occur. We had advised Stockman Title since the beginning of the transaction, that we wanted to purchase additional title insurance coverage. We found out later, that the title company insurance coverage would deny the claim based on this unexplained item not being performed during the home purchase transaction. Our attorney had to resolve this matter which was very lengthy and costly. Our attorney has sent letters to Stockman Title and our realtor based on this issue. Stockman did respond, which we have to say is better than that of our realtor and broker. However, he does not accept any responsibility and advised that our realtor informed him that we did not want to perform this item, even though we never said that and were again, not included in any of these conversations. We have previously purchased 2 other homes and the title company always spoke with us directly. We were never excluded from any conversations- or emails. If we were included in this conversation, this never would have happened. In our other home purchases, the title company/agent automatically ordered this item, which is why we were not aware of how important this item was. Stockman Title contends that they were given misinformation by our realtor and why did they both again, not include us in or verify this information. Be very careful when choosing to deal with this company.  We would hate to see this happen to someone else.  As a result, we had to hire an attorney and pay his fees to rectify this unfortunate and avoidable situation that we never should not have been in.  As a buyer, you hire these professionals (Stockman was highly recommended by our realtor) and pay them to do their jobs and protect your interests, as they are the experts. If we knew it all, then why would we need Realtors and Title Companies?

The client is an overseas investor who settles using a local relative as power of attorney. We've done a couple of settlements before, previously with another settlement company in the same office park (convenient location for the POA). Both of those were excrutiating. Mystery fees popped up... Poor customer service, the list goes on. This was the smoothest closing with them yet. Phew. So pleased. Everything was done in advance - no last minute anything. Fees were exactly as previously quoted. No surprises. They even cut down on the writing required by the POA to make sure things moved a little quicker. Wow. What a much more pleasant experience. Thank you Mary and Chelsea! (PS - If you want them to come to your home or business for the closing, they will. They also do electronic filing for sales in Loudoun & Fairfax Counties allowing them to disperse at the table. This means REALTORS and Sellers can be paid before leaving rather than waiting for a check. A nice plus for those folks.)
