We first met Marysol at an open house when we were first looking for our first home. From our…read morefirst encounter with Marysol, we had a feeling that she was a go-getter and a strong advocate for her clients. We were not wrong. Marysol has advocated for us from the start - her attention to detail and organized way of getting us through our first home purchase helped us navigate what could have been an overwhelming process. She set realistic expectations for us while also making sure that we were taken care of. Throughout the process, we were comforted by the fact that Marysol has a deep knowledge of the real estate business and is truthful and trustworthy. Marysol also works with an amazing team. She genuinely cares about her clients and we strongly recommend her!

Marysol guided my wife and I in buying our first home in the location we wanted to be in, within…read moreour price point, and turned around well researched offer (no less than eight comps going back a year!) in less than 24 hours. Her instincts on how to craft competitive offers is stellar and resulted in the seller accepting our offer on the first home we looked at. To boot, the home appraised for $10K above our offer, building instant equity. She has a great eye for value and can see a home's potential, even in a homes that may not show well. Likewise, she is good at pointing out pitfalls when she sees them. Another great trait is that she is careful to communicate as frequently as you want her too, while still being responsive. We had a family emergency overseas in the process and she found a good title company that was able to get our stuff squared away without issue. I'm always impressed by how hard Marysol works, even for smaller buyers like us. I could not have been happier with my experience with her. Marysol's the best in the DMV, accept no substitutes!

First time, military buyer and a trusted friend connected me with Renata. I was semi-working with 2…read morerealtors prior to her and was left unimpressed. No one seemed unique aside from saying "I'm a realtor" and passing me the same boring website with the same standard search engine every typical realtor uses--much of which I had to input myself. Why am I giving them a cut of my $$ when I am out searching on my own using these boring links? I was more than happy to have this friend pass me her info to see if she might have been different. I went out with Renata once or twice looking at places and early on I didn't see any differences yet. But we looked at one place that I ended up LOVING--and when I started moving fast on it I realized Renata was already ahead of me and ready to help me jump through the gates I was not yet aware of as a first time buyer. However, then we came to a roadblock realizing this dream place didn't allow dogs...which I could not give up. Watching my parents recently go through the buying process I knew I had to hold off getting excited about a place until the contract got accepted. But 2 days later I got a text and an email from Renata as she dug through local properties and found me one that was almost identical to the unit I lost out on, with minor adjustments. She helped me negotiate a deal on the property, and she swiftly alerted me when another offer was about to be made on the place and again helped me sprint to get a fair, negotiated offer in that would give me a chance against the competition. I/we closed on my condo today and it was great having her help me through every--single--step of the process. Even when I texted her random questions on weekend night, she would respond. I look forward to buying through her again, and trying to sell through her if she thinks aqua blue kitchen cabinets are even marketable. She might accept that challenge...for a price. Simply said, she is on your side and will help you every step of the way. Will definitely only work with her as long as I live in northern Virginia.

We had been renting out our Arlington townhouse for almost a decade after we moved to the west…read morecoast. The decor was definitely worn down and dated so we were really looking for a realtor who was experienced with fixing up properties before putting them on the market, since we didn't have experience renovating houses or the ability to come back to Arlington for the sale. Renata was very responsive when we reached out to her and mapped out the process needed to quickly get our house on the market with the necessary renovations. She provided very detailed estimates of her recommended renovations and was very accommodating when we didn't think all of them were necessary. She had everything ready to go the day after the tenants moved out, oversaw all aspects of the renovations and staging, and had the house on the market in less than a month. We were able to leave all details to Renata to take care of and she didn't disappoint! We received multiple offers and had an accepted offer significantly above asking price within a week. If we ever find ourselves in the Arlington real estate market again we will not hesitate to work with Renata!

Shanika is an incredible realtor. I became connected to Shanika through a recommendation from a…read morefriend. Shanika is knowledgeable about neighborhoods, real estate trends, and very well connected. 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 my lender and inspector!) So, to say it long. I had a wonderful experience working with Shanika. I put an offer on and purchased my first condo. I'm a homeowner y'all!

Ms. Hopson on the other hand, is a pro, from the very beginning she was attentive with answering all my questions, explaining each step of the property purchase journey and helping me understand the ins and outs of purchasing investment property. She took the time to make sure I understood real estate investing terminology and helped me to contemplate the various paths to meet my investment goals. Shanika has been with me every step of the way from finding a property through the closing. Her ability to "read" the seller was priceless and resulted in negotiating an awesome price for a property in a great area. I plan on staying in the real estate investing arena for a long time and Ms. Shanika Hopson will be my go to realtor always.

My boyfriend and I recently used the Wethman Group, and specifically Alli Collier, to purchase our…read morefirst home. We loved using them. They provided a seminar for first time homebuyers, and Alli was great at answering all our questions throughout the process. She was incredibly responsive, had great schedule availability, and made us feel like she was also invested in our homeownership. She grew to understand and remember our property likes and dislikes. Wethman Group also offers a lot of perks for their clients; they hold client appreciation events, and offer complimentary equipment rental for your new home (power-washers, moving van, etc). We highly recommend them for first time homebuyers!

Katie Wethman sold a house for us and helped us buy another. Katie is brilliant, incredibly…read moreknowledgeable, does her homework, and is a terrific person. I'm an economist and have been frustrated in the past that realtors (and others who should understand) don't have a basic understanding of markets and finance. Katie is analytical and bases everything she says on facts and evidence. No bullshit or hand-waving! I loved knowing that she knows so much more about finance than I do. Both the sale and purchase were challenging. Katie helped us resolve the difficulties. The sale was complicated by the fact that there was an open lien on our property. A bank had failed to record a home equity line of credit held by a previous owner as closed. A previous title search had missed this and I foolishly did not have title insurance. The title company offered to solve the problem for $10,000. Katie did a lot of spade work and got the bank to record the lien as satisfied, saving me the money and saving the sale. The purchasers were also difficult and Katie gave us great advice about dealing with them and the sale closed on time. Our subsequent home purchase was also complicated bv the fact that the sellers wanted to do a sale by owner, which effectively made Katie the agent for both seller and buyer (although only compensated by me as my buyer's broker). She again provided infallible advice when issues arose and also gently steered the sellers through all of the many problems they thought they'd surfaced. I'd recommend Katie Wethman and the Wethman Group to anyone buying or selling a home.

He actually also helped my husband buy a place prior to us getting married and I was so impressed with his professionalism and willingness to help things get to a satisfactory conclusion I told my then boyfriend at the time that when the time came for me to sell my place I'd gladly list with Chris. He was very thorough in walking us through the process of getting our home ready to put on the market, and even when there were a few minor challenges he worked to get things moving. Working with my husband as we used the proceeds of the sale of my place to buy a place jointly with my husband he was terrific in helping make sure all of the back end pieces were moving and we were able to close on our place as scheduled. Chris was always available to answer questions to. It might be a while before we buy another place but without a doubt, if I'm in the market again I wouldn't hesitate to call on Chris.

So we called Cathy P. For advice on selling our condo and setup a meeting. Cathy came to the meeting fully prepared with comparable info, and data.

I liked the fact that Cathy fully utilized social media to advertise and market our condo. Cathy is an excellent communicator. She will listen to you as a customer and what your expectations/goals are and will set forth to incorporate them into the sell. We were fully confident that Cathy was representing us for our best interest in the sale of our condo. She will work diligently for you to achieve success! Cathy and her assistants Undrah and Yvonne will keep you apprised of the entire process from start to finish. They are excellent on providing status updates with specific details and answering any questions you may have during the process. We were very pleased with Cathy and her staff.
