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.

We were tenants for 4 yrs with a property McGrath managed. They were consistent returning our calls…read morewithin 24 hours and answering our questions in a timely manner. When we had billing issues, they were slow to adjust the bill. We had to make follow up calls. They were slower to process our calls when it came down to natural disasters like flooding and high winds where the property needed to be repaired. They weren't good about giving us a heads up when they were coming to look at the property. We have dogs so we were concerned with people entering and not being home. I have looked at the previous negative reviews regarding repairs. We needed repairs done after a flood, over 6 inches of water in the basement causing major repairs/replacement to the dry wall, and carpeting. It was done quickly and with good quality. I think the difference is how the actual owners of the property finance the repairs. McGrath manages the property but only with what the owners approve and are willing to pay. The owners of our property wanted to make sure their house was in good shape when they returned. I can't speak for what other owners do with there properties or what McGrath actually owns and is willing to pay out. I think their hands are tied. But in our owners defense, when we had a tree fall on the fence, McGrath was slow to process their requests for the repair. And we as the renters... had to deal with the he said/she said scenario. When we moved out, we received our entire deposit back. And in 60 days too! I don't know if we will use this company again. Service wasn't bad, they fulfilled a service.

I was a renter at a McGrath-managed property for about 5 months…read more Without going in to all of the sordid details about why I broke my lease, but needless to say, I kept McGrath in the loop the entire time. When I decided to break my lease, I met with McGrath at their offices. They were sympathetic and laid out all of the options I had, providing me with the pros and cons for each. I was a little frustrated when they informed me that my issue was not a new one (I gather that previous people had similar issues in this particular unit), that said, I did appreciate the fact that I did not have to fight them tooth and nail. My issues arose during the period of time in which they were showing my unit and seeking a new tenant. They identified a couple that was interested, but had asked if I could move up my move-out date (to which I agreed). (McGrath called me to discuss this) I was informed of this at the end of the week. That weekend I went out and signed a lease on an apartment I was interested in (the moved up date meant, I had less than a month to prepare for my own move). I followed up the following Monday, as I did not receive an addendum to my lease and at this point in time, I was informed that the new tenants changed their mind and wanted to stick to the original move in date listed. When I pointed out that I was not informed of this and therefore, had been placed in a bind with regards to now owing double rent, I received no sympathy, just a terse reminder of what my lease stated (despite the fact that I had been informed otherwise, albeit verbally). This was extremely unprofessional and taught me a tough lesson about this company. Make sure everything is in writing, signed and sealed before you make any moves. Do not take any verbal confirmations seriously, wait until you have actual documentation.

Over the last two decades I've owned and managed several rental units in Reston and for much of…read morethat time Mark Wilson, a man I've known and worked with for many years, helped me in vetting tenants, negotiating leases, and acquiring maintenance assistance when it was needed. It was always a smooth process. So when it came time to finally sell the final property there was no question in my mind who I would turn to handle the transaction. The sale was made as part of a 1031 Exchange which takes special expertise and Mark brought this and much more to the table making the entire process as efficient and as transparent as possible. His market analysis and subsequent contract negotiation was on the mark - pun intended - and we brought the sale to close in record time. Timing was important because of the Exchange requirements which necessitate closure within some very strict parameters. To assist in this Mark referred me to an excellent colleague of his in my acquisition market - Richmond, VA - and that proved key in making the entire process work. What could have been a tricky - and costly - procedure went very quickly and very smoothly. My time in the Reston market both as a resident and investor has now come to a close but were that ever to change Mark would be the first person I'd call to get it taken care of. He is a person of integrity whose opinions I value, skills as an agent I admire, and recommendations I have faithfully and profitably followed. If you're in need of a truly professional real estate agent, I highly recommend him to you. He does not disappoint. Thanks Marks!

While the home-buying process itself was smooth, our move-out experience was the complete opposite. As a family with young children, we were repeatedly questioned and made to feel uncomfortable over normal wear and tear......things like minor drywall nicks that are expected in any home with kids. These were already being addressed on our end with a contractor, as we had communicated. Despite agreeing to cover repairs and forfeit a $3,000 deposit, we were met with unnecessary comments and a level of aggression that felt unprofessional and unwarranted. It was especially disappointing given that we chose to work with her over many other options, expecting a level of trust and respect in return. We believe in accountability and were fully willing to take care of any legitimate damages....but respect and professionalism should go both ways. Based on this experience, we would not recommend doing business with Jin.
