Marysol guided my wife and I in buying our first home in the location we wanted to be in, within…read moreour price point, and turned around well researched offer (no less than eight comps going back a year!) in less than 24 hours. Her instincts on how to craft competitive offers is stellar and resulted in the seller accepting our offer on the first home we looked at. To boot, the home appraised for $10K above our offer, building instant equity. She has a great eye for value and can see a home's potential, even in a homes that may not show well. Likewise, she is good at pointing out pitfalls when she sees them. Another great trait is that she is careful to communicate as frequently as you want her too, while still being responsive. We had a family emergency overseas in the process and she found a good title company that was able to get our stuff squared away without issue. I'm always impressed by how hard Marysol works, even for smaller buyers like us. I could not have been happier with my experience with her. Marysol's the best in the DMV, accept no substitutes!

Our journey with Marysol has been a wonderful life experience. I say life experience because buying…read morea home during the pandemic has been something that was truly unique. We were referred to Marysol by a colleague and met several years ago when looking for a 1-bedroom condo. I was single, twenty something, and hanging out in DC every day. Very different times indeed. 12 However, due to some outside factors we were unable to complete a deal with her. Fast forward years later I'm married and expecting my first child and it became imperative that we find a place to live. That 2-bedroom apartment life was coming to an end, and fast. Not only was it beginning to feel cramped, but due to COVID it seemed like living in an apartment might not be the best decision for the near future. Because we had such a good experience with Marysol previously we figured we'd give her a call and try our luck again. We were happy find that if anything time had only made her sharper. After contacting her, having a thorough consultation about our needs we jumped into the market. With the clock ticking till baby arrival we had to move quickly. We had expected things to change in the market but were not prepared for how drastic things had become. We soon discovered that due to the pandemic houses that were typically "boring" in Montgomery county, MD were now ultra-competitive. City dwellers looking to get out were now buying. Every offer we put in was competing with 10+ others. Not to mention that each home we put an offer in on was going 50k+ over asking. Despite this "NEW NORMAL" Marysol was a steady hand in guiding us through the process. I think at one point she was surprised at the aggressiveness at the market. She quickly rallied and adjusted our strategy. At one point our lender even backed out due to issues with lending during COVID. We were seriously at a low and were beginning to think that we'd just rent another apartment or townhome. Marysol quickly introduced us to a new lender who was seriously amazing! Even when our old lender told us that no one was lending. With less than 2 months to go till baby, Marysol navigated us through the very competitive landscape. She was very creative in structuring our offer to make it competitive in a sea of others. It was tough, and there were many late nights discussing contract language, but it was worth it. Finally, on our third offer we were accepted, and closing went through in less than 30 days. I will say there were sometimes where things were tense and that's expected during buying a house and I think the COVID situation made it worse. No matter what happened though we know she had our best interest in mind. Marysol remained steadfast and dedicated to us through it all. If there were times where she didn't have an answer, she had a team of experts behind her that could jump in. Now after several months of hunting we are in our new house and are excited to begin our new life with our first home. What we liked most about her is her sense of style. She's not just some boring "old school" realtor, but someone who is deeply passionate about her clients and isn't just trying to put you in any house to get paid. She knows what is hot in the market and knows how to help you get that home that fits you but is also a worthwhile investment. Look, buying a home is a difficult process and you want someone with you who is going to understand how things look from your perspective but push you to do things outside of your comfort zone. It takes guts and having someone you can trust by your side while you go through that is crucial. Buying a home is not for the faint of heart. Especially in today's times. It is easily the most significant purchase you will ever make. With someone like Marysol by your side you can't go wrong.

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.

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

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!
