I have known Dave and his team for over 10 years. He helped me purchase and sell my first property…read moreand more recently, helped my fiancé and I relocate back to the DC area. 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.

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!

MJ Sheckles: can't listen, wastes your time, disrespectful…read more Got a call from a booker for realtor MJ Sheckels, KW Preferred Properties, that a client wanted to view my rental home. Last night, left MJ both an email and vm with my cell and the address confirming a 1pm showing today. When I didn't hear back, I called again this morning. MJ constantly interrupted me, assured me the client was out and about looking at properties and would be there at 1pm. I couldn't finish a sentence, she just kept running me over. I guess what property owners have to say isn't as important as MJ talking at us. Sent her a text when I arrived at the property. You know how this story ends: MJ was so sorry, the appointment was made by mistake, the client was not coming. Maybe stop interrupting, learn to listen, check your vm, read your email so reviews like this won't need to be written.

I just received a phone call from someone named Arthur from Keller Williams. He said that one of…read moremy neighbors on Lilac just sold their house for above listing price. Who the hell calls someone they don't know to say that? I'm not interested in selling my house, and certainly would never consider engaging a cold call like that for listing my property. Shame on you Keller Williams for calling private cell phone numbers and even attempting to use this sleazy strategy. Arthur called me from the following number 202-505-4777. I would give zero stars if that was an option. My mother is a real estate agent and I personally know about 20 agents that are friends of mine. Any of them stand a chance of getting my listing whenever I choose to do business with them but I'll never do business with Keller Williams because of this.

She understood the market impacts during the shutdown and gave us good guidance as we navigated price negotiations. She was always available and always on point. We highly recommend her!

We were so lucky to have Sarah Jernigan as our agent during our home-buying process. From the…read morestart, she was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and offered valuable insight into what to look out for in each home we considered. Since we were out of town for much of our search, she went above and beyond--walking and driving through neighborhoods to give us a real sense of the area and helping us feel confident in our decision from afar. What really set her apart was her emotional intelligence and communication. She had a great read on the situation, asked the tough but necessary questions, and helped us stay grounded during a stressful time. We never felt rushed or pressured--only supported. She's a thoughtful, honest, and highly skilled advocate, and we're so grateful to have worked with her. Would recommend her 1000 times over! Also worth noting that the Kristin Francis Team did cute/ thoughtful things along the way to make us feel part of the community. You can tell it's a brokerage that really cares about the client experience. Wouldn't hesitate to use them again!

I deal with realtors on a daily basis as a Class A contractor as well as a home investor that…read moreservices only sellers and buyers. After dealing with countless realtors in Northern Va, I have coined the phrase "LaGent" and if you're not familiar with my term, it stands for "lazy agent." In my opinion there's 20% that know their craft and the market well. Then there's the other 80% that don't and are looking for easy money. I no longer have to deal with "LaGents" when I'm selling one of my own properties, thanks to finding Natalie :) I can HONESTLY say that I haven't seen, worked with or been represented by any realtors(anywhere)that are more knowledgeable and work harder for their clients, then Natalie Roy. Her team is flawless and keeps every part of the deal going smoothly and informatively. She's a fierce negotiator, that knows the current market and the strategies to get you what you need to buy or to sell your home quickly for a great price. I'll continue to recommend Natalie Roy and her team of professional realtors, as the best of the best in Arlington, Shirlington, Roslyn, Mclean and the surrounding areas of Northern Virginia as well as Bethesda, Cabin John, Silver Spring, Rockville areas of Maryland. Before you list your home with anyone else and run the risk of getting a "LaGent" instead of a real estate agent, Call Natalie Roy, the Real Estate agent that doesn't sleep until you're happy.

Natalie was a wonderful realtor for us! She helped us find the perfect house in the perfect…read moreneighborhood. She took all of our desires and took us to only see houses that fit our bill. In Northern Va, you need an agent who knows the neighborhood and who's willing to go talk to other agents for you to get the scoop-- and I can think of no other person who can do this better! Before we went to the open house for the house we purchased, she scoped it out first, went to an extra real estate agents only event before, and put in a good word for us with the owners. She was really easy to work with, and was always available! We liked her so much, we recommended her to my brother too.

I was reluctant to hire Jen and Kayli because there were chosen by my partner who was being very difficult, but Jen and Kayli sold themselves as experts in mediating the selling process even under these circumstances. Part of the agreement between my partner and myself was to split any necessary repair costs for improving the home for sale, however Jen and Kayli chose to side with my difficult partner and ignore the judge's order requiring us to share costs, leaving me $12,000 out of pocket for required repairs. I even consulted with two independent realtors who agreed the repairs were necessary, but Jen and Kayli continued to show bias because of their relationship with my partner's family. I felt alone on an island during the whole process. Lesson learned the hard way. Would not recommend.

Elena not only helped us…read morefind our dream home she connected us with an incredible moving company (Best Movers in Va) and more. She is the best broker we ever had. She is extremely passionate and she made sure that we did not over pay for our property. Her energy is contagious and her outside the box thinking and ideas are so incredible. Elena will make you feel that you are her only client when in fact you are not. She was working 5 deals while helping us and we closed in a week. She gives you the attention all hours of the day. She recommended an incredible Mortgage Broker called The Ross Group at MVB Mortgage, in Washington DC. All her recommendations were on point. With Elena you just listen to her recommendations and you will be satisfied. Some brokers sell you a home and you never hear from them, however, Elena does not fall in that category. Since we brought our home we have keep in touch with Elena and updated her on all of our recent updates and she still continues to provide us with recommendations. Elena is not just a real estate broker she is now a good friend of the family. KW Metro Center you made an incredible decision to have Elena Voronova as part of your family.

Kathy helped us find a great area to live in; we were not familiar with the different parts of northern Virginia, and Kathy knew exactly which neighborhoods fit what we were looking for. She and her team staged our condo beautifully, and it sold quickly after it went on the market. Kathy has a fantastic network of real estate professionals to work with, including loan agents, inspectors, general contractors, etc., and every person we dealt with was phenomenal. Since buying our new home, Kathy has advised us on design choices and ideas for upgrades, which has helped us feel settled here. Working with Kathy and her team was like having family help you find a place to live; they really care about making sure you love your new home and the area you live in. Kathy and everyone from her team are highly personable, honest, energetic, and they made the difficult process of buying and selling a home so much less stressful for us. We have recommended Shepard/Fong Real Estate to our family and friends and will continue to work with this group for as long as we live in this area.
