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.

Ryan Butler was a fantastic agent! I first encountered him on YouTube with his series of videos on…read morethe DMV housing market. I really liked what he said. Since I didn't know any agents in town, I thought I should meet with him. I wasn't disappointed . I contracted him. He showed me about 9 properties before I found the ONE. He made the purchase process as easy as possible. I've been in my place a few months now. It's great! I highly recommend Ryan.

I'm a homeowner, thanks to Shanika Hopson and the incredible Coalition Properties Team!…read more Shanika is an phenomenal realtor. I became connected to Shanika through a recommendation to use Harrison and Coalition Properties from a friend. Shanika is knowledgeable about neighborhoods, real estate trends, and very well connected. Not to mention, has a confident ease and very personable. You can see that Shanika wants you to find your home, more than just make a sale. Early on, I said I was willing to look and live all over DC, but really wanted to stay in NW, love natural light, wanted a 2bd condo and near "things". (I don't have a car). Shanika listened to me, watched carefully when we went to see condos, started to underhand my likes and dislikes, and never made me feel silly with all my questions and lack of knowledge. We communicated regularly via text/phone and using a particular app, she was able to see they types of places I was interested in. I saw a condo that was going on the market in a few days, we saw it before it went live... and the rest is history. The Coalition Properties Team hand held me( literally) through the entire process. I was also getting EHAP/HPAP monies making it a bit more difficult. They were on it. I was so impressed and thankful. I also love that they work with and support many black owned businesses and contacts. (Shoutout to Tracey on the closing team at coalition, Kendall my lender, and Sheldon the inspector!) So, to say it long. I had a wonderful experience working with Shanika. I put an offer on and purchased my first condo. A 2bd/1ba in Columbia Heights. I'm a homeowner y'all.

Unprofessional Conduct and Property Damage--Who Will Pay for My TV?…read more This company was hired for a restoration project in two areas of my home following a leaking pipe repair. While I expected quality service and professionalism, I was met with carelessness, dishonesty, and damage to my property. The worker arrived at 10:00 a.m. and completed the work by 3:00 p.m. One area was my first-floor ceiling, which is right next to my 9-month-old 75" TV. When I was inspecting the work when he was done, I immediately noticed drywall compound caked onto the top of the TV, a deep 1-inch scratch across the screen, and white residue where the worker had wiped the screen with what was clearly a dirty cloth. The TV was in perfect condition before the work began, as shown in the *before* pictures that were provided to the company when scheduling the appointment. When I pointed out the damage, the worker initially admitted to causing the scratch by saying it happened when he was wiping the TV screen (with the dirty cloth) and he thought it was plastic that must have still been in on the TV. I explained there was no plastic left on my TV--this was a deep, permanent scratch. After realizing his mistake, he backtracked and claimed the scratch had been there all along, even though the evidence is in the *before* pictures that shows it was not there. He claims he worked nowhere near the TV, yet the drywall compound on the TV, streaks from his rag on the screen say otherwise. Basically a brand-new screen ruined by his carelessness. What infuriates me more than the damage itself is the dishonesty. Accidents happen, and had the worker been honest, we could have resolved this professionally. Instead, he tried to cover it up, insulted my intelligence by lying to my face, and shifted blame. He called his supervisor, Hasaan (spelling?) was nonchalant and dismissive when I explained the situation. Hasaan asked me to send pictures, which I had already submitted to the homeowner. When Hasaan proceeded to speak to owner *after* speaking to me about the TV. He never mentioned the TV issue and ignored the issue when speaking to them about payment. This isn't a minor scratch--it's a deep, irreparable gash on a new TV. The company failed to protect my property, and their response was unprofessional at best. Now, the question remains: who will take responsibility for the damage they caused? If you're considering this company for your restoration needs, I strongly urge you to think twice. A professional company should protect your property and, at the very least, own up to their mistakes. This company did neither.

I had a townhouse that needed significant remodeling before going to the market for sale. It's hard to find someone that can get all kinds of trades work (kitchen, baths, windows, drywall, flooring, plumbing, electric, etc) done in a reasonable time frame and that also understands it within the context of a home sale. Everything turned out great! The price, the turnaround time, cleanliness of the work crew, everything. Highly recommended!

Katri, Ryan, and team were extremely thorough in all aspects of the transaction. Their initial analysis and review of market trends and relay of information was our north star and worked out almost exactly as was mapped out for us by the team, on both the buy and sell side. We felt updated and in the know at every step of each transaction. We felt empowered to make decisions, but could also rely on the team to assist in guiding us where we needed guidance. I would highly recommend Katri, Ryan, and their team to buy or sell your home. We could not be happier with how the entirety of the process played out! Easy 5 stars!
