    Robyn was incredibly responsive from my first message and suggested we get to know each other by…read morephone right away since I wasn't local. Talking to her was fantastic-- I could tell she had excellent energy, was so knowledgeable, and would be assertive during the process. Over the next few weeks, we honed our list of favorite properties and Robyn was great with the showings. She let me guide the entire process and gave her honest opinion. We spent a morning and afternoon together, and by the end of today we had an accepted offer! Even in the midst of selling our current home in another state, Robyn has been so helpful. I am so glad we decided to work with her based on her excellent reviews-- and I'm happy to be another one!

    My wife and I, as first-time sellers, had no idea where to start. I found Robyn here on Yelp and…read moreconducted outside research, and all the customer comments were positive. I reached out to her, and I was amazed that she responded immediately, even on a Sunday. The first thing I noticed about Robyn was her amazing communication skills; she communicated everything with precision and accuracy. Whenever we had a question, she provided an answer, whether she was in Europe or anywhere else. My first meeting with Robyn was a great experience. I could tell she had extensive experience in the realty industry, and she was easy to work with, never pressuring us into anything. I cannot thank her enough for guiding us through the process of selling our house. She was very easy and amazing to work with. Overall, I highly recommend Robyn as your realtor. My experience was smooth, and I never encountered a single issue. I would describe the process as a walk in the park. Thank you so much, Robyn. You have no idea how much my wife and I appreciate you. You are a blessing from the sky.

    Dawn is a wonderful, knowledgeable full-service realtor who is a joy to work with. We wanted to…read moresell our family home which needed fairly extensive renovations before hitting the market. She gave us recommendations to maximize curb appeal with her stylish eye, stepped in to refer general contractors and project managed the entire process. The house looked amazing when it listed! I live in California and she helped to coordinate all the necessary paperwork from across the country. I even used my learnings from Dawn to buy and sell a house here! We strongly recommend Dawn and her services. She's definitely a gem of a realtor!

    I've had the pleasure of using Dawn for both buying and selling a home and I could not recommend…read moreher more. We first used Dawn 15 years ago when we were first time home buyers. Dawn was recommended because my wife and I were a little indecisive and could not decide between Virginia and Maryland. Since she's licensed in both Virginia and Maryland, she was able to show us houses in both states; she must have shown us 50 houses. Once we found our home, Dawn guided us through the entire process from bidding through closing. Dawn patiently explained every form we signed and every step and every option we had until we closed on the house. We could not have asked for a better teacher than Dawn for our first home buying experience. Later, we finally were ready to move up to a bigger home and Dawn again came through for us. We found a house we liked and asked Dawn to help us buy it. Offers were required quickly and Dawn immediately found us a mortgage specialist who could get us a pre-approval letter for the offer. We had a weekend and Dawn was able to put together the winning offer on the house that weekend. After we moved, it was time to sell our old townhouse and we were blown away with Dawn's expertise in selling. We hadn't updated the house at all and we were behind on maintenance, but Dawn helped us put together a plan to get the best price for our house. She created a list of improvements we could do that were cost effective; picking out all the furnishing and fixtures to maximize our selling price. She found a general contractor to do all the updates and kept us abreast of their progress. She also guided us through Compass Concierge so we didn't have to pay immediately for any of the improvements. After construction was done, she helped us find cleaners to clean the house and a staging company to stage the house. The house was completely unrecognizable; it looked like something out of HGTV. We sold within a weekend, 25K over our asking price. We were so pleased that we also recommended her to my parents to sell my grandfather's house. She worked her magic and transformed the stale 1980's interior into a modern interior. There was a bidding war and my grandfather's house sold for 90K over asking. My aunts and mom cannot stop raving about her. Whether buying or selling a house, I cannot recommend Dawn more.

    Tashea McDade is absolutely, without question, a phenomenal real estate agent; and I could not…read morepossibly be more pleased with her work, high ethical standards, dedication, and knowledge of real estate procedures and market trends. I happened to find Tashea from an Internet search because I am fairly new to the Woodbridge, VA, area. From one look at her photo, I could tell Tashea is warm, helpful, comforting, sharp, smart and friendly. I was right. From the first time I spoke with her via telephone, being in search of our first home to purchase, Tashea immediately put me at ease. She said to me, "no worries, I'll take care of you," and with her as an agent, it really was that easy. Tashea far exceeded my hopes and expectations as being a highly skilled, professional, experienced, patient, kind, considerate, tenacious, detailed and thorough real estate agent. She is also infectiously upbeat, positive and encouraging. I am very meticulous and finicky, so my glowing review of Tashea is not something I share without very high standards for her to have met. She went way above and beyond what was actually necessary to seal our deal, and she never once made me feel like I was bothersome or annoying (and I can be both at times). I knew nothing about the home buying process but she patiently walked me through every step with expertise, precision and knowledge. Tashea is also very wise, organized, honest, trustworthy, giving, caring and thoughtful. Tashea often updated the search criteria of the automatic daily e-mails she had sent out to us on new listings to view, without our needing to ask. And she stopped them once we went under contract. These are just some examples of the minute attention to detail she has. Although I know she is very busy, she always made me feel like I was her only client, even taking my calls during what I am certain were not the most opportune times. If she could not answer my phone call, for example, she would immediately text me to let me know she would call me back as soon as she finished her current call. Tashea never rushed me off the phone or made me feel like I was disturbing her, when we did talk. She was always accessible, be it via e-mail, phone or text. Tashea joyfully showed my husband and me houses in Woodbridge and surrounding areas. I could tell she was genuinely excited for us. She was even willing to sacrifice personal plans to ensure she was there every step of the way to negotiate for and protect us. She is no push over in dealing with sellers' agents either. Tashea is creative, thinks outside the box, and was not afraid to talk sense into me when I went off the rails. I like that she is super sweet but respectfully tough, even to me, when necessary. I can tell Tashea really loves what she does and it's not about commission. I know from dealing with her that, to her, it's much more about taking care of her clients. We ended up having a long, drawn out process over many months. However, Tashea never rushed us to make a decision but she did stay on me about signing paperwork in a timely fashion, and no detail escaped her. When Tashea says she is going to do something, she indeed does it. I never had to remind her of anything, she was the one who reminded me. Tashea is a very skilled and thorough communicator. She did not just hold my hand through the process, in some instances I feel like she carried me. Tashea took her time with me, answering and explaining every little detailed question I had about the contracts, contingencies and agreements. She made everything as easy as possible, and I had a lot fun working with her. Tashea even directed me to the right sources for things outside of her scope of duties like mortgage, title, home warranty and homeowners insurance questions. I honestly do not have the proper words to express how awesome and truly amazing this lady really is. She is nothing short of a great blessing to us. I felt safe with Tashea, which is saying a lot. She did not let anyone take advantage of us. And, aside from everything else, Tashea has a very sweet personality, a calming voice and a smile that lights up any room. She is an absolute joy to know. I sincerely mean every word of this review, and I highly recommend her to everyone. And when our son is ready to purchase his first home, we will definitely be calling her to take care of him! I could go on and on about Tashea McDade, which is a rarity because I have not felt inclined to write many reviews for other professionals or businesses. I just don't know how I can possibly thank her for everything she has done. We are extremely happy with the deal she negotiated for us, and I have no regrets in our purchase because of TASHEA MCDADE. She started out as our agent but now, and forever, I call her "Friend." Call Tashea, whether it be for her to help you buy, sell or rent. I believe, like me, you will be very happy you did!

    Logan Circle, Downtown

    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.

From Day 1, he was incredibly responsive, detail oriented and truly cared about what was best for our family, not the quickest deal. He led us step by step through the listing and staging process, handled an open house and eliminated so much stress that can otherwise come from moving. For our home search, he suggested listings, showed up to properties with us and recommended an excellent inspector, electrician, and we closed quickly. It's easy to offer Shaun to anyone in the area looking to buy or sell. We were truly blessed to work with him and should we ever need to move again, he'll be my first call.

    I'm a happy home owner because of Shaun…read more I lived in DC for 20 years before deciding that I wanted to buy a place. And since I use Yelp for everything else, I decided to see what the People said about realtors in the area. As you can see, Shaun has a lot of fans. I loved what people had to say about him but it was really the video on his website that convinced me to set up a call with him. Hearing Shaun talk about where he grew up, how he ended up in DC and how he runs his business seemed almost too good to be true. But he's the real deal. Shaun wants to help you find your perfect place more than he wants to just sell you a house. Since I was doing this completely on my own it was important to me that I felt comfortable with my realtor. And while I took friends on a couple showings, in the end it was Shaun that helped me figure out which place was right for me. He would gently point out things that maybe I didn't notice or tell me when something wasn't as big of a deal as I thought. When I tried to talk myself into something he would remind me of the reoccurring dream I had about more space and how maybe XX wasn't a good fit if that was still important to me. I was on the fence about whether I wanted to leave the District. I ended up buying in DC but Shaun did a good job showing me all around Old Town. He'd listen to what I liked and didn't like and then adjust what we would look at the next time And while I'm going to be a city mouse a while longer, I made him promise that when the time comes he will help me sell my current place and buy the next one -- I'm eyeing the Parker-Gray area. Lastly Shaun has a guy for everything. Need a lender, Shaun's gotta guy. Need an electrician, gotta guy. Inspector, check. And this network is just as solid as Shaun. His network walked me through everything as a first time home buyer. I hear people talk about how hard it is to buy a place and honestly that wasn't my experience, at all. Clearly buying a place isn't like picking a happy hour spot but once again Yelp pointed me in the right direction. I love my place and finding and buying it was a really great experience because of Shaun. If I could give him 10 stars and 2 energy drinks, I would.

From day one, he truly listened to our needs and gave thoughtful recommendations about what would be a good long-term investment versus what might end up being a money pit. He wasn't the type to push for a quick sale--in fact, he pointed out property damage and issues we might've missed on our own, which really built our trust. He stood out among all the other real estate agents we attempted working with. Thanks to his guidance and expertise, we ended up getting our top-choice home in just eight days! The process was seamless from start to finish. Even recently, when we needed to relocate, Peter offered to help us find renters and has continued to be supportive. We'll absolutely be working with him again when it's time to sell. As first time home buyers, we felt we got amazing value for the services provided.

The best way to describe Peter and Red Cedar is high touch, white glove - concierge service. Peter knew the market and had a powerful team of equally adept realty professionals. Nothing happened without Peter's knowledge and he always focused on what was best for us: Initially meeting through closing. Here's where the professionalism goes to another level - Peter builds relationships with his clients, throws mixers, and checked up on us a couple of times per year. And, he DIDN'T ASK US FOR THE NEXT DEAL each time he subtly checked in on us over 5 years! He and his team cares about you - long term not just to get a sale. After 5 years of relationship building, we called Peter and the Red Cedar team for support. He came over. We completed representation paperwork, his AMAZING 360 degree Ariel and interior video/photography genius turned up and transformed our house into a buyer's beacon that sold our home within 24-48 hours of posting - FULL PRICE OFFER!!!! This is Red Cedar - all day long. After getting an offer, Peter and his team coordinate every document, appointment, and follow-up like a well oiled machine. The signing appointment was completely painless without any hiccups in the paperwork or payout - again, Peter and Red Cedar are professionals and the service providers (Ex. Title Company) were exceptional too. Thanks Peter and Red Cedar for your exemplary support, education, and caring over 5 years!

    May have been a competent company at one point, but certainly no longer. In the 18 months we…read moreworked with Ed, his company mismanaged the lead inspection process (costing us thousands), mistakenly charged us for maintenance and repair that was the tenant's responsibility, failed to coordinate with our HVAC company on maintenance and payment, failed to remit monthly payment for the correct amount due, and failed to coordinate and communicate with me regarding the renewal process for the tenants. I would avoid.

    I've been using Edward as a property manager since July 2020 (i've used 4 different firms over the…read morepast 15 years). I found him after interviewing about 9 firms, and then went with him after speaking with 5 of his references that he provided. He was very transparent when I first connected him and he would quickly answer questions about his management style, company and staffing profile. Perhaps the worst part about Edward is that its hard to find anything negative about him (LOL). He's just the most even keeled person I've ever dealt with... He deals with everything in a calm, paced manner. He's definitely not pushy, and treats everyone with respect, and has the gray matter to anticipate and work through problems before embers turn into flames (and we've had many embers thrown at us over the years, so he's battle tested at this stage in my eyes). One example: a few years back, the unit he was managing for us had a heating issue. The parts were on back order (early pandemic related shortage), and without asking, he went through multiple hoops to try to procure the parts needed, and then checked the weather report and because of an upcoming temperature drop he went ahead and provided backup heating device to the tenant to head-off a potential heating emergency before it happens. Lets roll the clock forward: While your mileage may vary, for me, I have had several documented occasions when I sent him an email near midnight and he responds within 3 or 4 minutes afterwards. I think one time I sent him an email way later than that which was meant for the next day, and he immediately responded. IIRC, I scolded him slightly for not prioritizing sleep over a low priority email from me LOL... but that's just how he's wired. His demeanor also extends to how he hires his staff. Again, the people he's brought on seem very even keeled and are active listeners. Also, it appears he's scaling his company in a methodical fashion. When I first spoke to him 5 years ago, I think he had about 200 properties they were managing. I know he's grown beyond this, but I haven't felt any difference in the orchestration of the work. This was a huge problem for me with a previous firm where as they grew, the wheels came off. Also, with his being a registered agent in Maryland, I'm already set on using him if we hit the market for anything. He's also served as an honest sounding board a few times we considered moving on something.
