This letter will serve as my very high letter of recommendation for real estate agent and broker…read morePhilippa Main. She assisted my brother and me with the sale of our parents' home in April 2022. I have worked with many real estate professionals on several transactions over the years and can say with confidence that Philippa is one of the best I have ever used. Philippa has the qualities that make her an extremely successful and effective agent. We found her extremely knowledgeable and well-attuned to the super fast-changing market of early 2022. She was always attentive to our concerns and very responsive to questions, often responding immediately no matter the time. She showed great attention to detail enabling the sale to be made in less than a week. Our mother had recently passed away and we were raw with grief. Furthermore, we live in California, so it was even more important that we could rely on someone like Philippa to take the reins from beginning to end and that is exactly what she did. She was able to interpret and solve all the questions pertaining to our mother's Trust without the need for outside lawyers, and this was a great convenience to us. We also feel that we got the highest price possible for the house based on her pricing strategy and advice. Philippa exceeded our expectations in every way. The sale went very smoothly and we closed on time. I would not hesitate to recommend Philippa to anyone in need of a listing agent or for the purchase of a home. We interviewed three other agents before deciding on Philippa and she did not disappoint. Every detail was perfect, from the fantastic professional photos, the listing description, to the impeccable transactional aspects leading to the close of escrow. In a nutshell, she is a top tier professional, intelligent, tenacious, fun and talkative, bright and conscientious. If you need an agent/broker then hire Philippa Main. You won't be disappointed.

If you are looking for a realtor, look no further. Laura is the ONE! My husband and I were…read morefirst-time home buyers buying a condo in Arlington. Laura was recommended to us as a top agent in the DMV area with impressive transaction volume each year. Although we identified multiple agents through our search, we immediately decided to work with Laura after our initial video call because we were impressed by her knowledge of the local housing market and all aspects of real estate transaction. We are so grateful that we did! We were buying a condo in a very competitive area. Every time when we made an offer, we had a competing offer and had to act very quickly to make our offer more competitive. Laura worked around the clock to prepare the comparative market analysis, tour the units with us, crafted and advised us on compelling offer terms and negotiated with the seller agents. Our closing had some extra complexities due to the condo building's financing approval being expired. Laura skillfully helped us navigate this issue. She proactively included relevant language in our offer to protect us from such financing issue before we even knew there was an issue with the condo building. After we discovered the issue, Laura was in constant communication with the seller's agent, condo building and mortgage broker to speedily resolve the issue and ensure we could close on time within 3 weeks. Laura's price prediction and recommendations were spot on when we submitted our offer. She recommended us to adjust our offer to a certain price to increase our chance of sealing the deal at our offer price (instead of activating the price escalation clause and resulting in us paying a higher price). We were able to be the winning offer because of Laura's excellent communication skills and expert advice. We followed Laura's recommendation and did not have to pay more than our offer price for the condo. The appraisal ended up being higher than our purchase price. We are grateful that Laura helped us secure our dream home at a great price. Laura was extremely responsive and patient. We had a lot of questions as first-time home buyers. Laura patiently answered all of our questions at any time of the day. Despite her busy schedule, she accommodated our challenging schedules and requests under short notice every single time, which enabled us to close our home with great success. We could not have asked for a better realtor to share this home purchase journey with. Thank you Laura for being an outstanding, caring and dedicated realtor!

I cannot recommend Shaun enough as a realtor. He recently helped us to sell our townhome and…read morepurchase a larger house in preparation of welcoming our third child. 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 the very…read morebeginning, Angie approached the sale of our home--and the search for our next one--with unwavering commitment, professionalism, and a level of personal care that set her apart. She didn't just act as our realtor; she was a true partner through every phase of the journey. Angie guided us thoughtfully and thoroughly as we prepared to list our home, offering smart strategies, personalized advice, and a calm, reassuring presence. Her attention to detail and expert preparation led to well-attended open houses that ultimately helped position our home for the best possible sale outcome. Her exceptional team contributed immeasurably to the successful outcome and sale of our property in less than a week. At the same time, Angie showed incredible perseverance and flexibility in helping us find a new home that wasn't just a place to live, but one that felt truly special and aligned perfectly with our style, values, and lifestyle. She kept us grounded and inspired throughout the search and worked hard to reduce the many stressors associated with purchasing a new home. As part of the Devon and Dustin Fox - Fox Homes Team with Samson Properties, Angie exemplifies the very best of what real estate service can be. Her dedication, integrity, and care made all the difference in what can be an overwhelming process. We're deeply grateful for her guidance--and absolutely thrilled with the outcome. We highly recommend Angie to both sellers and buyers knowing that she will always focus on your happiness.

My second purchase with Devon - three years later and still the best!…read more With a changing family and changing times, we needed more space and a change of pace! My first call was obviously to Devon. She did an awesome job handling our 2018 purchase and there was nobody I trust as much as her (and Dustin's okay, too!). Our plan of action swept a large area, more so focusing on the right "fit." As we upgraded to a "forever home" it was important that I got everything on my list - or as darn near close as I could! In doing so, I took up many evenings and weekends of Devon's time! As the process went on, we found "the one"--perfect layout; size; location; features; large, landscaped yard --it checked all the boxes. We knew it wouldn't last long in the competitive COVID market. To accommodate us for the fastest showing (we wanted to get in before the open house) we were able to tour with Shruthi--a member of the Fox Homes team. While I was hesitant to go without Devon, Shruthi's attention to detail and customer-focus mirrored Devon's and it was a seamless experience. After the tour, Devon provided critical information get our FIRST offer accepted during the craziness of COVID. Yes, money helps, but there's a reason "foxes sell faster," they know the market and what it takes to WIN. There are so many things I can say about Devon's patience, sense of humor, and attention to detail, but I hope you have the chance to find out for yourself... and when you do, I'll see you at the next Fox Homes event!

She was helpful and on top of everything. It was great to have open communication and lots of access for their questions and concerns. Every time they had questions, she was responsive and available. Her knowledge about the market and the selling process was valuable and informative. Given all of the steps of selling, Jin stayed so involved and had good relationships with other service providers as well, like cleaners and movers. She was present for the walk-through and settlement with my family, and she attended every meeting with the new home builders. That kind of presence and hands-on involvement was so important and something that can't be taken for granted, because other agents do not have that level of care. For any future inquiries, my family is happy to recommend her services.

We don't usually leave negative reviews, but our experience with our former landlord and real…read moreestate agent, Jin Wickwire, unfortunately ended on a very disappointing note. 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.
