Let me start off by saying that there is no way we would've gotten our dream home if it wasn't for…read moreDave. Flash back a few months, I met Dave at an open house and instantly thought he was awesome. I was working with another realtor at the time and was having no success in the crazy Arlington house market. My boyfriend and I made the difficult and very worth it decision to thank our former realtor for her time and start working with Dave. As soon as we made that decision everything changed. Our first meeting with him was so professional, but still a lot of fun. He asked us a ton of questions about our lifestyle, budget, what we like/don't like etc. He set us up with a search and we went on our way. Just two weeks later a townhome came on the market in Ballston and we were hooked. Dave toured it with us, was super honest about the pros and cons, and let us think on it for a day. This is my first home so I was nervous to write an offer, but I felt super comfortable with Dave's guidance. We made the offer and unfortunately didn't get the place, I was crushed. Thankfully, this is where Dave's network and persistence came into play. He knew the listing agent and stayed in constant contact with her to ensure we were the first ones considered should the buyers back out. Lo and behold, they did, and he quickly turned around a backup offer. They accepted!!! I was ecstatic! I thought Dave was the best at this point, and somehow he got better. His recommendations for lenders were incredible and I got a rate that no one could believe, and the title company he works with made everything seamless. We had a quick close because of the crazy process we went through, but Dave and our title company did everything to ensure we were well taken care of. We closed last week and I can honestly say none of this wouldn't happened without Dave. He's the best realtor, and now someone I call a friend. I can't recommend him enough!

Dave is incredibly knowledgeable about the market and more importantly is always responsive to calls and emails. He was willing to do virtual or in person showings at all hours of the day, oftentimes with very little advance notice. We appreciated his guidance throughout the process and he always made us feel like a priority. Would definitely recommend Dave and his team.

Working with Steven on our first home purchase was an absolutely wonderful experience. He was…read moreextremely knowledgeable about the market, super responsive, and helped us put the best offer forward - and even had creative negotiation skills that helped us immensely. He was fun to tour homes with and able to answer (or find the answer) to any and all questions I had. He didn't add additional stress or pressure to the offer negotiation process and in fact was a super calming presence during this part of the process. He made himself available and made sure he understood why we liked or didn't like a property. Could not recommend Steven more for a smooth, efficient home-buying process!

He is very knowledgeable and profoundly understands the real estate market. Steven focused on understanding our needs/wants and kept our priorities in mind all the time. Every time we found a house that we liked, he guided us through what was important, providing perspectives that made decision-making easy and remarking on factors that, without proper knowledge and experience, one could easily oversee. The exceptional service goes well beyond just finding the perfect home and extends to making an offer and closing the deal. Throughout our home search, he was diligent in helping us find the perfect house for us and was always very responsive. We couldn't have asked for better guidance and support.

My husband and I LOVED working with Jason Koitz of the Koitz Group while purchasing our first home…read more Jason listened to our wants and needs and directed us to the perfect options. His efficiency in his work led us to closing in just a few weeks after we began our search! We value responsiveness, knowledge, ease of interaction and completeness in task when working with anyone, and Jason embodies all characteristics. The group's use of technology was also exciting and unexpected. Their website's interface was clean and easy to use on my mobile devices. Very little to no paper exchanges were made, everything was completed digitally. And we continue to enjoy reading about Bethesda/Chevy Chase's real estate community on the group's blog. Jason is also in-the-know regarding DC's food scene. If you're a foodie in the real estate market, he's your guy.

So after 2 years of sharing an apartment together and getting married, my wife and I began the hunt for our first home and selected Gretchen and the Koitz group as our Realtors. There is not one bad thing we could say about the process we went through buying our first house with them. Never pushy, Gretchen and her staff believe strongly in educating the buyer to empower them to make an informed decision. They are so incredibly friendly and knowledgeable in both about the area and in the process and all of the details that everything went smooth as silk. They listened well to what we were looking for and continually brought interesting and appealing opportunities to us. Even when we had issues with one house vs another (which always come up, it's just part of finding the perfect house for yourself), they were always understanding, attentive, and diligent so as to then come back to us with new suggestions that incorporated our feedback. This past January we celebrated our 3 year anniversary of buying our first home. We fell in love the first time we walked through it, and have been in love with it since the day we got the keys. We owe many thanks to Gretchen and her amazing team. We now see why our friend trusts Gretchen so much, and we certainly plan on using her again in the future for any of our real estate needs.

She found the contractors, got multiple bids, supervised everything and kept it on an incredibly quick schedule that I thought was not possible, and ended up closing the sale in early June for substantially more value than seemed possible a few months earlier. I have worked with multiple real estate agents over the years. There is no comparison to the value that Melinda has brought. She took responsibility for every aspect of getting the house ready to sell and delivered on all of her promises - if not over delivered. I cannot recommend her enough!!!

When I did find the right place he was the best - negotiated a great price, helped throughout the contract and inspection process, and was there to help me close. Always immediately responsive for any questions or recommendations, incredibly knowledgeable of real estate and the DC area, and ready to help soothe your nerves and make the whole process great. I will always use Tom for any future real estate transactions - and you should too if you're lucky enough to get him.

Judi Shields was very involved with her personal life to adequately represent me. She was busy with…read morea family wedding and unavailable for days at a time and did not explain the addendum's she had me sign, costing me an extra half of a percent in commission. Additionally she left the country during the sale of the house and never told me that she was thousands of miles away for the closing. She said she had "other commitments and would be available by phone for the closing"! In fact, she was in a time zone seven hours ahead of Eastern Time and not readily available at all. She left Dan Metcalf in charge and if I called him, he would tell me that he wasn't the listing broker. The pièce de resistance was him leaving a message with the Title Closing Officer that I "wasn't nice" I have a photo of the message if anyone wants to contact me privately to see it. These people were supposed to be representing me! I had some questions the night before closing and instead of speaking to me, Judi & Tamar responded by threatening me with legal action accusing me of being in breach of contract if I didn't go to the closing in the morning. Gali, the supposed owner, left me a text message or email while I was driving to the closing asking if I was going to the closing and if she should come. I saw it when I arrived at the closing. I responded immediately that I was at the closing. She called a little while later screaming at me that her time was valuable and did I want her to come from Takoma Park to Rockville. I said I did. By the time she arrived the closing was finishing up. She did not say one word to me and no one from this group got in touch to even offer congratulations on the sale of the home. I strongly suggest that you look elsewhere for an agent. They are only interested in cashing your check
