My fiance had used ADMC when he was looking for his first condo. He had nothing but good things to say about Michael and Alan, so I didn't think twice when he wanted to use them again for looking for a new house. We were able to sit down with Michael when we first thought about looking for a house, and told him what we were looking for. The next day, he had a long list of houses for us to look at that almost all met the major requirements we were looking for (like, I didn't know I had a type for houses, but apparently Michael figured that out!) and we were able to run with those to keep narrowing down what we were looking for. In the meanwhile with looking for a new house, we also had to sell the condo we were in. Michael looked at the place, told us what we should do to make it look as great as possible, and answered any and all questions we had (and very, very quickly too!). We probably asked him to come over way too many times to make sure we were doing the right thing, but he was always happy to help and never made us felt bad for being overly cautious about things. The condo sold pretty quickly, and Alan stepped in to help during the selling settlement process when Michael was on vacation. My fiance and I were SO thankful to have the ADMC team on our side to mediate between ourselves and the buyer's agent because sometimes people can be rude and Alan managed to stay professional and polite, yet made sure to take no shit (excuse my language). Alan definitely helped us not get suckered into doing more than we should have had to do. Once the condo was sold, we were able to go full on into house hunting. Michael was more than accommodating to our busy work schedules, and took us to houses when we were able to spare the time. I appreciated Michael a lot because he wasn't fake about any of the places we were looking at. He didn't try to oversell anything that wasn't worth overselling. He made sure we were also being realistic and not just settling on things - this was the biggest purchase I'd be making to date, so I am VERY glad he didn't just let me throw money around without getting the full worth out of it! Michael also always made it feel like he was working with just us. Like yeah, I know he was showing the houses we were looking at to other people as well, but Michael always made us feel like we were top priority. In the end, we found a TERRIFIC place and we could not be happier with the overall experience. It's easier to say that now, now that it's all said and done, but I still never felt overly stressed during any of the buying/selling processes. My fiance and I don't plan on moving anytime soon since we've got the perfect house now, but 10/10 would use the ADMC team again if for some reason we feel the need to upgrade again ;) read more

I was referred to ADMC Realty Group through a close friend, who used purchased their house in 2014 in the Northern Virginia region. I called ADMC, and they were very thorough in our initial conversation trying to really understand what my wife and I were looking for in a house, the general location, etc. Within a week, we visited several homes with Michael Dannenhauer. We felt very comfortable throughout the entire process, he never pressured us into buying, and kept a very independent demeanor which really paved the way for us to trust not only Michael, but the entire ADMC Realty group. Michael was very honest with us as we looked at several homes throughout the process, and he pointed out some things that we might want to consider when evaluating each house. He assured us that there were no dumb questions, and really made us feel comfortable throughout our working relationship together! Michael would respond to our inquiries in a very prompt manner, and he was readily available either through phone or email, day and night, and provided us with some good recommendations along the way. This was our first house that my wife and I have ever purchased, and honestly, NOTHING went wrong! We ended up putting an offer down on our favorite house (while in Disney World nonetheless), and Michael was able to negotiate with the seller to ensure we were his top priority, even though we didn't have quick and easy access to our banks while on vacation. We ended up settling on the first house we put an offer down on. We were very surprised because we were always told that during the normal home buying process, it is very uncommon to settle on the first house you put an offer on. We were very clear with Michael that we wanted a specific house, and he delivered. I think part of it was that as his clients, we were very flexible and didn't place a lot of restrictions on what we wanted, but nonetheless, he was very accommodating. In short, I would HIGHLY recommend ADMC Realty Group to any new or second, third, fourth-time home buyer in the NOVA, DC, MD area. I originally looked for a realtor on Redfin.com, and had an absolutely horrible experience with one of the realtors, who was rated very highly on their website!! After 5 minutes on the phone speaking with Michael, I knew I already was in much better hands! Michael has been working in the Washington, DC metro area for a very long time, and really knows what location is best for you once you provide him with what you are looking for in a house. Would definitely work with Michael and his team again! Cheers! Jonathan and Michele read more

My fiance and I went to an open house when we met Manuel. We had no idea about what goes into buying a home as we were first time homebuyers. At that point we hadn't even gotten approved for a mortgage. Manuel went out of his way to field questions that we had and made us feel extremely comfortable. We decided on the spot that we should ask him to be our exclusive agent. That was one of the best decisions we have ever made. From the start Manuel would treat us like we were his only clients which we knew was far from the truth. He was always there to take our calls, answer our questions and guide us through the whole process start to finish. We ended up buying a fantastic place in NE DC that we absolutely love. There were a few issues that popped up on the seller's side and throughout the whole ordeal both Alan and Manuel went above and beyond the call of duty to insure thay my fiance and I were totally taken care of. They showed up for inspections, meeting with contractors, stopped by throughout the renovation process to make sure that everything was going smoothly. I couldn't believe that these two guys who were my real estate agents were this caring and devoted to their clients. It has now been a bit over a year since we have bought our house and at this point we are proud to call Alan and Manuel not only our real estate agents but also our good friends. I have recommended them to a few friends who have used them and thanked me and they themselves have recommended them and so on...it is a domino effect because with service like this you are bound to be satisfied. I have always had a jaded view of real estate agents being out to just make a deal but I can honestly say with ADMC that couldn't be further from the truth...it is great service and their whole team truly cares. read more

We have bought two houses in this area and weren't super thrilled with our realtor the first time around. We were wary about getting another agent and asked friends if they could highly recommend someone. Michael Dannenhauer was recommended along with another agent but we liked Michael's vibe and went with him. We could not have been happier. We didn't really know what we wanted and it took us a really long time to find a place to put an offer on. Not one single eye roll, sigh, or even the remotest sign of irritation from Michael as we dragged him around Virginia looking for our mythical beast of a home. Michael was always pleasant, upbeat, and ready to counsel us on the pros and cons of various things. He was very friendly with our two young children and our daughter often asked when we were heading out if Michael was going to be there. We never felt pressured to buy something we didn't love and we are immensely grateful for that. We were very nervous about selling our townhouse. We just weren't sure we'd get our asking price. Both Michael and Manuel put a lot of effort into the staging and they transformed our townhouse and made it look awesome. We really believe the staging helped us sell the townhouse. It sold in 2 days at the price we wanted and Michael secured some additional concessions from the buyers. Michael clearly knew his way around both the buying and selling processes and we felt confident that we were well represented. To summarize, we are in a new home we love, we sold our old place quickly and under our terms, and we could not be more satisfied with Michael and the ADMC team. We definitely recommend them. read more

ADMC Realty Group is truly the best realty company in the DMV! We contacted numerous realtors when we needed someone to assist us in finding a place to live when we moved from Florida to Maryland. Out of all of the realtors we contacted, Michael Dannenhauer and ADMC responded practically in minutes. This made quite an impression on us, as it clearly showed the type of service we would be receiving from Michael and ADMC. After meeting Michael and working with him throughout the move, we purchased a home in Southern Maryland. Michael and the ADMC team exceeded our expectations throughout the entire home purchase process. Michael kept in contact with us over the years, and when it was time to sell the house and move to a different area in the DMV, we knew exactly who we wanted to use. Michael was key in keeping our expectations in check with his expert analysis and advice. Selling a home is a stressful endeavor, yet Michael and ADMC did everything in their power to ensure that the sale went smoothly through its professional marketing and staging strategy. Anytime we had questions or concerns, Michael was quick to respond. There was never a moment in which we felt alone. We knew Michael and ADMC was always there for us. Michael also assisted us in finding the perfect rental in the area that we moved to. When its time to buy again, we will be contacting Michael and ADMC for their superior service and representation. Bottom line: if you want the best realty company in the DMV to assist you with your realty needs, your first and only call should be ADMC Realty. read more

Let me start with this - Alan and his team found a buyer (3 actually) for our home on the first open house!!! If we could give 10 stars we would. Yes, because they did a fantastic job selling the home so quickly. But, equally because they were above and beyond professional plus demonstrated a warm connection to our family and family needs. This home was our family home for 40 years. We decided to sell due to our parents growing health challenges. This was a very emotional time for our family - selling the home we grew up in and transitioning our parents to a senior community. Alan and his team were very sensitive to this which made the transition for our parents easier than expected. From our first sit down with Alan and Manuel, they demonstrated immediately that they knew what they were doing - from understanding the market and our area to setting expectations. They expressed confidently that we could sell our home in 90 days. And, from the time our house went on the market, it was barely a week! Alan got 3 offers on the first open house weekend! And, we could not have been happier with the young family that bought our home too. With so many offers, Alan did a great job guiding us through this process. One would think that a real estate agent would only care about the biggest offer - it was clear that Alan was more interested in what was the right offer for us. In the end, we were very happy. And, it was very satisfying to see a new family that was so excited about our home too. Our thanks to Alan, Manuel and team! Fantastic job! read more

Michael Dannenhauer helped us find the perfect house in September 2013 but we didn't meet him until December 2013 when we first came to DC. We bought our house from Germany having only seen pictures and having friends visit the house with Michael several times. Michael was phenomenal! He wasn't our first realtor. The friends who where helping us to find a place recommended that we use him because the first realtor was just trying to make a sale. When buying a house basically on-line, you really need someone you can trust. Michael was responsive and helpful with all of the complications that come with buying a house, particularly when you're abroad. Michael showed our friends many houses for us and helped us to put offers in on 4 houses. In one case, when the seller was less than ethical, Michael and his partner helped us to understand what was going on. When we finally found the perfect house, Michael helped us to negotiate a good price at under the asking price when most other home sales involved insane escalation clauses. On the day we arrived in DC, our flight had been canceled and because of the delay my family was unable to meet us with the keys to our new home, Michael helped out again by providing a lock box so that we could get the key to get into new home. We were elated to find that our home was everything Michael and our friends and family had described. It's perfect and the neighborhood is perfect. read more

I used Alan and the ADMC Realty Group to sell my home in Washington DC because of first-hand knowledge of their professionalism to serve a client buy and later sell a DC unit. Alan's poise, knowledge of real estate and the greater DC area market, use of social media and virtual staging, objective insight, and meticulous service made the process very easy for me as a lay seller. He had a detailed plan to sell my unit, guided me through the process, and the communication with him and rest of his team was seamless as emails, calls, texts, and appointments were promptly answered whether day or night. My unit went under contract within 5 days after it was put on the market and less than 1 percent under asking price. What especially stood out working with Alan was his demonstrated integrity to provide an accurate Pay-Off quote, trust to amend the contract to my specifications when I was too busy and unavailable to review, and confidence to take care of my personal and financial interests in my absence. I have and again would highly recommend without reservation Alan and ADMC Realty Group if you want a professional team to trust and liberate you from any anxiety or fatigue from the sale or purchase of a property. They are genuinely friendly, knowledgeable, and will sincerely push for your best interest to make a home purchase or sale straightforward and successful. Thanks again team ADMC!!!! Neil read more

An amazingly awesome team! In all earnestness, I cannot say often enough how highly I regard all the hardworking crew at ADMC, and especially my agent, Manuel Churion. I met Manuel by chance at an open house a few years ago, and while I didn't buy that one, we connected and he helped me to find the sweetest little row house on Capitol Hill -- and at an excellent price, and right within my budget, which wasn't much at the time. I thought way back then that he was a great negotiator, and, true to form, when it came time to sell the little row house, he helped me to get it under contract in less than a week! In February! I marveled at how Manuel stepped right up to the task of getting my house ready for market, and he did it efficiently and economically, and he has not yet steered me wrong. I now live in Connecticut (and have purchased property here) and rue the fact that I didn't and won't have a team like them working for me while I live here. ADMC have always been there to answer my questions and never have they promised something that they couldn't deliver. They are smart, sensitive to their clients' needs, they know the market in D.C. from top to bottom, and most important of all, they are FUN and good people. If you're thinking of buying or selling real estate, hire someone from ADMC. You won't regret it. read more

For about 6 months, Michael Dannenhauer was my wife's and my date every Friday night as he took us around to see various houses. My wife and I can't say enough good things about Michael and ADMC for their professionalism, patience and diligence in helping us find and buy our home. I feel that our best interests were well looked after at every step and I appreciate their dedication to us especially after we had to back out of a buying one home and had to wade through the waters of dealing with the tenants living in the house we would eventually purchase. When it came time for find housing inspectors and a titling company, ADMC recommended nothing but top notch people. Michael even stayed in touch with us and made sure things were being taken care of during the time he spent in the hospital recuperating from having his appendix removed (sorry Michael). If we are ever in the market for a house again, I know exactly who I am going to. If you're reading this review, consider it a solid endorsement for a solid committed group of professionals and all around great guys who go to bat for you. Any bad reviews written here are mere crap. read more

We just bought our first home with ADMC Realty Group after a close friend recommended them to us, and we had a great experience. We worked with Michael Dannenhauer, and he was responsive to emails and phone calls and always made time to clearly explain the process to us as first-time home buyers. After our first home tour, Michael spent almost an hour patiently talking through all our questions, including what to anticipate as buyers in this market, what aspects of a house could add or detract from its value, and how to devise a realistic timeline for purchasing a home so our kids could start at a new school in the fall. He even offered lots of home renovation ideas as we walked through different homes. We were kind of surprised that each step of the process went as smoothly as it did. As first-time home buyers, we were happy to have someone as experienced and knowledgeable to walk through this experience and help us along the way. Everyone at ADMC is so professional and they seem to really care about their clients. I'm so glad we got to work with them! Thank you!! read more

We just finished purchasing our first home thanks to the help of Michael and the rest of the folks at ADMC, and we couldn't be happier! We were working on a tight time frame so it was extremely important that any realtor we chose be responsive, flexible and available beyond regular business hours. Also because it was our first time purchasing a home we needed someone who would be patient and capable of explaining the whole process to us (read hold our hands through the entire ordeal). Michael was great from the start. He promptly returned our phone calls, emails, and texts no matter what time of day or day of the week. He was able to find us multiple properties that fit our criteria and within a couple of weeks we found the perfect house in the perfect neighborhood! After actually moving in, Michael has also been helpful in extracting information from the seller and dealing with unexpected issues like trash, cable, etc. We take comfort in his continued support and look forward to working with him in the future, should we choose to sell! read more

What can I say? ADMC is simply amazing... I was first introduced to Alan and Manuel through my husband's colleague at work, and it was by far the best referral I have ever come across. Recently, we have been through a couple of moves and Alan and Manuel stand way high above the rest. When purchasing our first home in DC, Alan worked steadily and patiently throughout the entire process. We never felt rushed and he was extremely personable, friendly and strikingly accommodating. All in all, he was there because he truly wanted us to be happy with our home purchase. Soon after purchasing our home in DC, we were struck with a work transfer, requiring us to sell our new home. Sure enough, we knew who to call. Alan and Manuel made the process much less of a burden, not to mention they sold our house within a week!! We were so impressed, not to mention forever grateful. In short, to say ADMC has been great is an understatement. Happily, we feel as though we made two new friends. We even invited them to our wedding! :) read more

ADMC Realty Group is a premier organization and they truly set the standard for excellence with DC Realtors! My wife and I worked with Alan and Manuel in the purchasing of our new home. At the same time, they also coached us through decision process to rent our condo versus selling it. Their professionalism and intimate knowledge of DC real estate made the entire process rewarding and fun. From the onset of our relationship, they listened to our concerns, focused our search, and helped us identify what we truly wanted in our first home. We have been in our home for 6 months and are pleased with house and neighborhood. I feel extremely fortunate and grateful that good friend of mine referred Alan and Manuel to us. What I have learned from working with ADMC is that the relationship does not end at the closing, rather it cements their continued commitment to their clients! Their expertise and "Customer First" attitude make them a remarkable referral. I have and will continue to proudly refer my friends and colleagues to ADMC. read more

Alan Dalton ,principal of ADMC Realty Gtoup was referred to me by a Sales Staff Associate at Fox Hills Senior Independent Retirement Community . Alan managed the sale of my home of 33 years as well as assisting me in the search and selection of a compatible retirement community where i now reside . Through his guidance , a potentially stressful event was seamless as he managed the process every step of the way ensuring that my home sold for more than the advertised price . Alan personified the motto of always doing more for clients ...ADMC.

ADMC Realty was highly recommended to us after they helped sell our parents sell their house last summer. We owned a condo in Alexandria, but currently live in North Carolina. Unfortunately, our busy schedule never allowed us to meet Alan Dalton in person, but that certainly didn't hinder his ability to market, stage, sell, and negotiate a great deal for us this spring (2013). After trying unsuccessfully to sell the place a few years ago with an antiquated agency, we were pleasantly surprised by the innovative techniques that Alan used to get our boring little condo to stand out from the crowd. After tastefully staging the unit, we received 3 offers in a little over a week. Even though we were not in the same state, the avalanche of paperwork that we had to sign was easy and simple because Alan sent it all through Docusign. I highly recommend ADMC to anyone buying or selling in the Metro DC area. They truly stand apart as the best realtor companies we've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. read more

My husband and I were in a precarious position as we had a tenant in our property that decided to end the lease after 2 years and left our place in disarray. We were very upset with the situation at the time and didn't know where to start with getting everything back on track. We met with Alan Dalton and he not only gave us hope but he also helped us plan and execute the events leading up to a successful sale of the property. Not to mention that all of this occurred over the course of 3 major holidays in the middle of winter. The outcome was phenomenal!!! We could not have asked for a better realty company! They were exceptional with courtesy, service, professionalism and time management! There were no beats missed and the level of attention to the market and the client was amazing!!! I know I have written a review that seems a bit over the top but I am being 100% real and true to what I experienced with this company! I cannot thank them enough for the experience we went through together! read more

The ADMC team is fantastic. Alan and his team walked us through every aspect of the home buying process with complete patience and professionalism. The customer service doesn't stop once you've signed on the dotted line. Even after we closed on our house, Alan was full of helpful suggestions on the best/most cost-effective way to make renovations and offered names of contractors and handymen. Throughout the home buying process, the ADMC team was available at all hours to answer questions and, in a few situations, provide moral support. ADMC even helped us to rent our condo for nothing in return. We felt like more than just a name and number in a database. ADMC is all about building relationships and making their clients happy and comfortable in their home search. i can't recommend them enough.. read more

This move marks my second time working with ADMC. Both experiences have exceeded expectations. I have worked with several real estate agents and have found that the level of service and expertise varies greatly. If you choose ADMC you will experience excellent service and the highest level of expertise possible. They know this market very well. I started off looking on one area and, when I didn't find anything that I liked, they directed me to another nearby area with a massive redevelopment in progress. From there, they helped me pick the right builder and negotiated for additional options on my behalf. The result? My new home appraised for more than the contract price! ADMC connected me with a great home AND a great investment all while making the process a breeze. Thanks! read more
