In Oct 2020, Arynne marketed the sale of my neighbors house, closing $39k over the asking price; an…read moreoffer was made and accepted within two weeks of hitting the market. I knew then that I wanted this type of agent in my corner whenever I decided to sell my rental property, so I reached out. At the time, my property inhabited freeloading tenants using the pandemic public health emergency (PHE) to their advantage [and did so for over two years]. I explained my situation to Arynne and appreciated her keeping in touch, occasionally sending me updates re the PHE and what local legislators were doing. Fortunately, I got repossession of my property in May 2022 and our journey together began. My greatest concern before working with Arynne was not getting my property back, restored, and sold when the market was still good. Fortunately, my concern didn't come to fruition and everything worked out. The best part of working with Arynne was connecting with her on a personal level and her professionalism, she essentially did what she said she was going to do. I really appreciated her connecting me with several contractors, providing helpful suggestions on home decor, keeping me updated, obtaining pertinent documents on my behalf, and overall making the process easier. Accepting an offer and closing, respectively, within three and six weeks was our greatest achievement. I have learned that choosing the right broker, pricing the property right, and knowing the marketing plan upfront will save you money, time, and undue stress. The best advice I'd give someone considering a move would be to get an agent with experience, who understands the market, and acts in their best interest. Arynne's efficient, understanding, and will do her part in getting your property sold as quickly as possible. I'd gladly refer Arynne Crane to anyone interested in purchasing or selling a property. - Tori

Oh my goodness, can I tell you how great Arynne Crane is?! I and my elderly neighbor were being…read morestalked by developers with low ball offers for years. When her husband died, I offered to sell at the same time to help her get the best price, it was a good enough time to sell for me and she wanted to move on. The flood of low offers: 100k, 200k, even 400k less than our homes were worth! Again, oh my goodness!! We needed a realtor who was going to fight for us. Thankfully, I knew Arynne! She worked the phones, did her research, worked her contacts, was there for everything we needed. She got us an offer 200k more than anyone on our block of townhouses at that time! When my tenants refused to move (and to pay, that is a whole story unto itself), she stayed with us and kept the deal going. In the end, a good sale at a good price for all. Arynne Crane was the realtor we needed at the time we needed her and she worked a deal that won for all of us!

My wife and I mainly write reviews for the prospective buyers out there who, just like we were, may…read morenot know the ground truth in certain areas. Both Alex and Martine Irmer helped us both buy and sell in Old Town Alexandria. We couldn't not recommend them more! If we could have them for our future transactions (we're moving out of the area, we 100% would. Both Martine and Alex were very professional, gave us the upmost confidence in their knowledge of the markets, and served as a good advisor and friend through, what can be, a stressful process. I would argue they have the top pulse on the Old Town market, knowing block by block which homes are worth the value. In some cases, they had previously sold the homes and were intimately familiar with the history, the work done (especially in the case of renovations and flips), and past issues or complaints about the location. Alex went above and beyond to show homes in the market in two days, seeing over eight homes! He worked hard to show the pros/cons of each property, educate us on the inventory, and guide us to the right choice. In both the buy/sell negotiations, you NEED Martine Irmer on your side. She's very smart about real estate transactions, will defend you as a buyer/seller, and knows the landscape well. I would recommend to anyone out there looking to buy or sell, give Martine and Alex a call and talk with them about your goals, intentions, and plans. We happened upon Martine at an open house and we're forever grateful for it!

The Irmer Group recently assisted me with the sale of my Old Town home. Because I had already…read morepurchased a home before I put mine on the market, I was anxious about the process. I could not have been happier with the competent advice and level of service the Irmer Group provided, or more impressed by the way Martine Irmer fiercely advocated for our interests. They began by helping me identify the most cost effective and appropriate repairs and updates on our 120+ year old home to ensure a good sale price. They even assisted me in finding a reasonable and responsive contractor to do the work when my initial contractor fell through. They were excellent in communicating about the process, always listening to my concerns, and ensuring I knew the next steps and what to expect. They were also always available when I had questions, providing timely and insightful responses. We were impressed by how proactive they were in assisting us in finding the right buyers for our historic home, which came with all the quirks (uneven floors, etc..) of Old Town homes. Our home sold above the asking price on the first day we accepted contracts. When our first buyers unexpectedly decided to breach their sales contract, Martine Irmer did a good deal of hand holding and gave me valuable advice on how to proceed. Despite the hiccup, as soon as it went back on the market, our home sold again above the asking price in a timely manner. I am thankful we had such experienced and competent realtors to assist us through the complicated process. Knowing that we had someone we could trust and rely upon made all the difference. I highly recommend the Irmer Group. Their years of experience and passionate advocacy for their clients were a reassurance when the process unexpectedly got complicated and helped us obtain a positive outcome.

From start to finish, she made the entire process of buying and selling our condo seamless, stress-free and even enjoyable. She demonstrated an incredible understanding of the market, always provided honest advice and went above and beyond to ensure we found the right property, and subsequently the right buyer. What truly sets Liz apart is her dedication and attention to detail. Whether it was arranging last minute showings, negotiating fiercely on my behalf, or keeping me updated every step of the way, she made me feel like I was her top priority. I do not consider buying or renting a property these days without contacting Liz, because I know aside from being so knowledgable, even if it is not in her state, she has referral partners in each state in the US and globally. She is my trusted advisor for all things real estate. I have recommended her to several family members and friends. I will always continue to do so. If you are looking for an agent who is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about your needs, look no further than Liz! Thank you again for everything Liz. I know we will have many more real estate journeys to come.

Linn was an incredible help to us when buying our first home. After going through a horrible…read moreexperience with a new construction builder, we were desperate to find a new home and unfortunately had a difficult time finding a realtor who understood what we wanted. It was difficult for us to vocalize exactly what we wanted in a home but knew that we would know when we found it, and we needed someone who was patient and dedicated enough to hang in there with us. Linn totally fit the bill and was a godsend. She was well-versed in all procedures and requirements. Even though we did preliminary research, she always showed up prepared and well-educated on each property. She gave us sound advice and a professional perspective without being overbearing or imposing. She was flexible with our difficult schedules and always showed up with a smile and great attitude. We ended up finding our dream home, and she quickly negotiated on our behalf, getting us everything we wanted at a great price. When we went to closing, we felt so lucky to have her there supporting us, and she truly made the entire experience so wonderful and seamless. We are very lucky to have found her and recommend her services to anyone buying or selling a home. She is fantastic and a rare find in the DC area. We truly cannot say enough good things about her!!!

We went and looked at a home 3 weeks ago or so and Ms. Payne was the one that showed us the home…read more The house was dirty and not ready so we didn't want it. She offered to do an internal search on places that meet our needs. From the list, we picked out a few places we were interested in. She said she was too busy that weekend, but that she would have time after the weekend. We sent her an email with a list of places that we were interested in again after the weekend. She got back to us later that week (not later that day) and most of the homes we liked were gone. We went and looked at one and liked it and asked if she could find out if they were ok with our move in date. The weekend went by and we never heard from her. She sent us a new list and we selected a few houses we were interested in. We still hadn't heard about the house we had looked at and waited until the next sunday before she got back to us. We looked at the house and it was filthy. Walls needed painting, carpets were dirty, grout missing in bathroom, cracks in the walls where the drywall met and the garage was full of trash. We told her we liked the place, but would like to know if the landlord was willing to work with us on the filth, such as cleaning it up or taking it off our rent for the cost of supplies for us cleaning it up. She said she would ask and that she would send us a new list. That was like 3 weeks ago. We found a house on our own. I'm sure the commission on a rental is not nearly the commission for a sale of a house. If she doesn't have time to help us she shouldn't have offered and she should have communicated that to us. She was very nice and had good information when we went and looked at the homes which is why I gave her two stars. I can't speak to her quality when selling or buying a house, but I would recommend looking elsewhere when trying to find a rental.

Update: I was genuinely concerned with Ms. Delgado's response, as I certainly wouldn't want to…read moremisattribute negative comments. I checked my phone records and do see that her number called mine while my home was on the market, but I do not see any record of a number associated with the Maria Delgado she believes I interacted with calling me. Again, this wasn't the biggest deal and it was only one interaction - YMMV. My original post was flagged because "it lacks a substantive consumer experience". I'm not sure why the below isn't a substantive experience, but I'll restate it in more verbose terms. I was selling a home and she was showing my home to her client. She called with short notice to show my home and then did not arrive during the window she requested. She arrived 35 minutes after without calling. Further, she did not apologize for the tardiness, possibly because she didn't want to look bad in front of her customer. Opinion - based on my experience and Brian S's experience, it seems like Ms. Delgado could afford to go through some professional growth. I wouldn't say she is hopeless, I just would want my friends to know I didn't have the best experience AND I would want Ms. Delgado to know I would appreciate more professionalism. This was my experience with her and I would think others would want to know - which is the purpose of yelp. If yelp deems this unrelated to the customer experience, I'll move my crowd-sourcing needs and reviews elsewhere. Here was my original review: Pleasant, however, arrived 35 minutes after showing window without calling. Made for a needlessly awkward situation for all parties involved. Certainly more understandable before cell phones.

We didn't even need to view a bunch of houses, she knew EXACTLY what we wanted and found it. During our process Maria had surgery but as soon as she came out of her surgery she was on her A game like no other! She didn't miss a beat.

I have known Sherry a very long time. Her professionalism , honesty, knowledge and hard work is…read moresecond to none in the Real Estate arena. Her attention to detail and follow up is at a level that very few of her peers can match. Her integrity and willingness to go the extra mile for her clients is very well known. She has the innate ability to quickly assess what her clients needs are and develop a strategic plan to achieve the clients needs. Any one can hang a shingle and pretend to understand the market and try to be a professional but after you send a few minutes with Sherry you know you have partnered with a true professional who is elite in the area of properties. It is unfathomable that you will not be blown away by her tenacity in helping you achieve your goals. It is a shame that someone with a obvious axe to grind on a personal issue would say anything less on this format . Maybe Germany isn't use to working with such an outstanding professional. Who knows. A partnership only works if both parties invest in the goals and Sherry invests 100%. All I know is the people I know that have dealt with Sherry have been monumentally pleased. I highly recommend her.

This will be a long review, but I hope is useful for future buyers…read more First, let me go straight to the point and say that I would not recommend anyone to ever work with Sherry, specially if she was involved with the home renovation process. We purchased a home in September 2021 that Sherry had listed as fully renovated. When we met Sherry, she told us that she personally oversaw the renovations and that she was the one who selected the company that did the work. She also stated that she was so involved in the process that she even helped plant some of the plants around the property. Well, within just two months of living in the house we started to see things fall apart. First was the kitchen floor, by month three all of the grout in the kitchen was gone. As soon as it started to warm up, the chimney started to smell like smoke because instead of doing a chimney sweep, they masked the smell. The dishwasher was broken and even though Sherry stated that she hired a person to fix it, it has never worked, so we had to buy a new one. Sherry also lied about the age of the HVAC unit. Two months after moving in, we started to smell gas coming from the HVAC unit and once we got a technician to look at it, we were informed that the date written on it was incorrect. The unit was actually 22 years old. Lastly, Sherry informed us that the pool had the gunite replaced in July 2021. Well, we just had a pool company come to drain and clean the pool today and found out that it is in terrible conditions. The pool cleaners told us that based on the condition of the pool, the gunite has never been replaced and that there are clear signs that the previous owners did not take care of the pool. Bottom line is that Sherry is not a trustworthy person and I would caution anyone who is considering doing business with her.

That level of care continued throughout the offer process up until closing and after, and she was absolutely critical with negotiating with the seller and working with my mortgage lender.

I can honestly say we made the right decision by choosing Sunita and I'm happy to now also call her a friend. Sunita walked us through the process of selling our first home and made sure we knew what to expect once the house went on the market. Her staging skills attracted so many buyers - we had multiple offers the first weekend it went on the market. That's not to say, of course it was not all smooth sailing. We did hit a road bump once our home went under contract but Sunita handled the situation very well, kept her composer even when the buyer's team got snotty. She definitely kept us sane during the process and assured us that everything was going to turn out ok, which it did!! When it came to buying our new home, Sunita worked around our schedule and made herself available to show us homes. Her negotiation skills are definitely something to brag about. She not only got us our dream home, but she got it at the best possible offer. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy/sell. We couldn't be any more pleased with her services.
