From start to finish, the entire team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. Buying a home can be stressful, but they made the closing process smooth and easy to understand. Every question I had was answered promptly, communication was excellent throughout, and I always felt confident that everything was being handled correctly. Closing day itself was efficient, well organized, and surprisingly stress-free. I especially appreciated the attention to detail and the genuine care they showed throughout the transaction. It's clear they take pride in their work and in providing exceptional service to their clients. If you're looking for a title company that is trustworthy, efficient, and a pleasure to work with, I highly recommend Universal Title in Falls Church. Thank you for making such an important milestone a wonderful experience!

We decided to sell our house last year. It took us a few months to get organized and get the house…read moreon the market. The only easy step in that process was picking RedFin. 1. The services they offer are top notch 2. They represent you; when they say if you buy and sell with us, you get a refund, they mean it! So our goal was to move from Germantown, a big house, to a smaller house. We worked with our agent, and we were able to sell our house (5 days) and get our new house (a little longer, we are picky)! Let's start with our Agent. Colette Releford. We have dogs, and they are very important to us. Colette walked into our house for the first we are going on the market soon to meet; our dogs loved her! 1. She listened to what we wanted 2. She was patient and worked as our sales and purchase representative. 3. Full service? On the day of our closing, Colette drove to our old house and took a load of stuff to the new house. I mean, that is Full-Service. So I will end with this we highly recommend RedFIN! They are awesome. But if you are in the Maryland area and need a Realtor why not go with the best Colette rocks!

Redfin has been a terrible experience for me. My real estate agent, Patricia Amman in Falls Church,…read moreVA, was extremely unhelpful. She often sent trainees to show me houses instead of assisting me herself. I both sold and bought a house through her, but she provided little guidance on preparing my home for sale and often had a dismissive attitude. My ex even chose not to work with her for that reason. When I purchased my current home, she advised me to offer as much as I could without properly investigating the property. She later sent another new agent to complete the inspection after I had already agreed to buy. As a result, I ended up with a 20-year-old HVAC system and water heater -- issues I wasn't made aware of -- and I significantly overpaid for the house. When I posted an honest review about my experience, Redfin blocked me and told me I could no longer use their services. That's fine -- I wouldn't use them again anyway. I lost a lot of money through this process, and I believe Redfin and this agent acted unprofessionally and without integrity.

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.

Having an agent respond at a timely manner is what keeps this industry moving. Kenneth has been great in both transactions. We received the ratified contracts and got the job done! I have no complaints about his quality of work and would instead praise his attention to detail. Kenneth also does not focus on the commission and leave/disappear after the closing. We had a post-closing issue on whether the sellers had taken bricks from the property. Kenneth took it upon himself (after the seller's agent and seller would not replace the bricks or pay for them) to go to home depot and replace the bricks himself. Furthermore, he has been very accommodating on meeting times and location. He makes it so working with him is easy and flexible. I HIGHLY recommend Kenneth Wang as a realtor in all of DMV area!

Her professionalism, knowledge with the market, and commital to her client reassured she was always approachable and I was always welcomed. The home buying was arduous because the property was a short, but her experience in the process made it flow smoothly from contract to closing. Ms. Riley had great communication and excellent diligence when it came to details, questions and concerns, and was always reachable - even when I texted her at 11PM.. Her patience, flexibility, and honesty are values I hold in extremely high regard (for myself as well), which culminated in a wonderful experience. If anyone needs a realtor, I highly recommend Ms. Melissa Riley and AveryHess. PS: I also learned Ms. Riley/AveryHess are property managers, so if you need to list your home when you PCS overseas or need a home to rent for a few years, they work with a lot of military persons.

Thank you, Franky and Team!…read more If you are looking for a house in the DMV area, Franky is the perfect agent! HE IS THE PERSON WHO HELP US TO FIND THE HOUSE JUST WITHIN THE 2nd OFFER in NICE AREA! My husband and I met Franky at one of the open houses in Washington DC. At that time, we didn't have any idea about the home-purchasing process. Even Though we searched online, we still got lost since we didn't know what the first step was and what our priority was. Franky helped us to understand the overall process, and encouraged us to think about our future life to set the goal of home-purchasing. Even Though we were not his clients at the moment, he gave us a 1-hour presentation of the whole process with the pamphlet. When we decided to go with Franky, he tried his best for us to find our FIRST HOME with some of our considerations. Since both of us work full-time, he made house-tour appointments or meetings (regarding making offers) after work hours. After our offer was accepted, Franky and his team gave sufficient advice regarding everything, such as locking the mortgage, depositing, final walk through, and the settlement! It took only 6 weeks to move into the new home since we started to look at the house to buy. As you can see my name, I am a foreigner and the whole process seemed overwhelming for me. However, Franky helped my husband and I to relieve the stress by communicating with the selling agent and title company. (Oh, I heard that he speaks English as well as Spanish). If my friend who came from foreign country asks me to recommend any agent, I will recommend FRANKY and his team! I am writing this review in my new, cozy room, where I dreamed about since I immigrated here. I can convince that if you work with Franky, you will never regret.
