Cheryl Kincaid and the team at Estridge are very professional, effeicient, and resourceful. As first time home buyers, my wife and I did not know where to start. Cheryl really took her time to understand our needs, concerns, and preferences, and taught us a lot on what to look for in a house. Her personality was great to work with, and we maintained great communication throughout our house-searching journey. She was very organized and detail-oriented, and everything went smoothly from first meeting to final closing. Cheryl's expertise, patience, and empathy reassured us every step of the way. If not for her, we wouldn't find our dream house so quickly. Thank you Cheryl! read more

Caroline Aslan made finding and buying a new home fun and stress-free in a sellers' market. She helped us narrow down our real needs and wants, and took us to diverse housing and neighborhoods all over DC, Maryland, and Virginia till we were sure we were choosing right and stayed very patient and cheerful as we tried to make up our minds. Her guidance and suggestions were on the mark, and we are now happy in a much better home than we had hoped for, and could not be more pleased! If you want to find and buy a great house, go to Caroline Aslan. read more

Have used The Estridge Group successfully for 30+ years. They've always gotten me top dollar and provided expert advice. And the properties have all sold quickly. No one better in the Bethesda-Potomac-DC area. read more

We recently bought our first home and Claudia Fitall was our realtor. She made the complicated home buying process easy to understand. Without her help we would not have found our dream home. We have and would recommend Claudia Fitall and the Estridge Group to our friends and anyone else buying a home. read more

In addition, The Estridge Group works as a team providing a wealth of knowledge and support. So if you're worried about competing offers in an competitive market, give Caroline a call. Once I found the home I wanted, she was persistent in making sure my offer was aggressive and that the contingency period moved fluidly as it provided me with the information needed to move forward in the contract. read more

Caroline was amazing! She really understood what we wanted and was very flexible to our needs. Caroline and the group went the extra mile to ensure our process was as smooth as possible. Thank you for everything you do! I recommend Caroline to anyone needing that extra support throughout the entire process. Amazing work! We have our first home thanks to you! We also loved our Mortgage broker Gary! We met him through Caroline and we absolutely love him! Looking forward to finding more homes with Caroline :) Very valuable service! read more

Claudia was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable about the process which was great as a first time homebuyer since I was usually confused by something. We had issues appear the morning of closing and Claudia expertly navigated them and we closed without any issues. She also knew a lot about mortgage rates and helped me get a lower interest rate which I am still very grateful for! She always followed up with answers to any questions I had within 24 hours and overall I was very happy working with her; she made a very stressful life decision easier! read more

After visiting with 3 agents, my gut told me Melinda was the realtor that I wanted to work with. Her energy and expertise came through loud and clear. Upon my mother's passing and faced with having to sell our family's childhood home, our first inclination was to sell it as-is. Melinda advised and encouraged us to spend the time and money to increase the percentage of potential buyers as well as the return on investment. Upon preparing our home for market, Melinda's advice proved to be right at every turn. She has a great team and access to the resources necessary for most any task at hand. When at a stumbling block, Melinda made things happen. The many business relationships he has cultivated over her many years proved valuable. Her direction, support and advice helped to sell our home above listing at a time when the market was changing and uncertain. I can't say enough about Melinda and her winning team. Both she and her team members are fantastic communicators, always present and wanting to help in any way. Thank you Melinda and team! read more

I was never an advocate for using realtors to buy/sell any home - especially in today's digital era. That all changed when I met Melinda Estridge. In fact, she told me that her group was going to "change my opinion of realtors" forever. Let's just say that The Estridge Group surpassed any expectations I had. This past summer, we had to quickly downsize my aging parents from their home of 40 years to a senior living community. Melinda assured me that if we followed her teams's advice and recommendations, she would be able to find buyers for our parent's home within 30 days and sell it at a very competitive price point. We took the month of June to repair, update and stage the home - and listed it during the July 4th weekend. The open house was a huge success and stimulated lots of interest. True to her word, and before the end of July, the home was under contract. The settlement and closing was simple and Melinda guided us all the way to the finish line. Best of all, our parent's home was sold a bit higher than our asking price (yeah baby!). What I've written in this review so far could be considered as basic expectations for any good realtor. However, what made The Estridge Group fantastic was the way that they handled the smaller "experiential" details. As soon as we committed to work with them, they would regularly communicate with us throughout the home repair work, the staging efforts and the listing/showing process. We were never in the dark and we always understood what was going on and what they were doing. Melinda herself would call me at the beginning of every week to let me know what to expect in the coming days and to see if I had any questions. If I ever did have questions, it wouldn't matter if it was early morning, late at night or even on weekends - The Estridge Group would quickly respond. If you were to now ask me if it's valuable to work with a realtor to buy/sell a home, I would (emphatically) say "YES"...as long as you choose to work with The Estridge Group. I could not be more satisfied - and grateful - with the entire experience working with them. read more

Caroline and her team are amazing. Her knowledge of the market, recommendations for some upgrades, and supervision of contractors from construction through to staging and photos directly paid off allowing us to sell quickly and for a great price. She was a delight to work with - friendly, smart and efficient. Highly recommend using her and Estridge if you want to make the most of your real estate sale. read more

We are extraordinarily happy with the service we received from Melinda Estridge and her team. From the very beginning, Melinda was able to make everything very positive and absolutely without any pressure. We loved how her knowledge of our neighborhood, our home, and the market helped us to prepare the house, to stage the house, and to sell the house in less than a week from the time it was listed at 12% above our asking price. Her boundless, positive energy was also a great help in the biggest transaction we will have in our lives! We would recommend Melinda Estridge to anyone who is thinking of selling a home in the DC, Bethesda, Chevy Chase area. It was a total joy working with her. read more

Our experience with Caroline at the Estridge Group has been very positive, both when we were buying a rental property and a few years later, selling our principal residence. Both times, she made sure that everything ran smoothly, she negotiated well, and when it came time to sell our home, Caroline was great about assembling a team to do just what was necessary to get it sold. It sold very fast and above the listing price. All together, we were extremely pleased with the whole experience. read more

Caroline Aslan was the ideal agent for me as a first time homebuyer. She explained all the steps to buying a new home and patiently answered my questions. She made sure I got the place I really wanted. No pressure. In fact, she even talked me out of making an offer when she sensed I wasn't completely happy with the commute time from the place. I ended up buying a condo that meets all my needs at a good price. Caroline and her team sold my parents' condo for the asking price. Caroline brought in terrific repairs, cleaning, and staging folks, who made the condo look great. They managed this during the COVID19 lockdown while my parents were quarantined in their continuing care facility in California. They made the sale easy for us, managing all the communications and signatures remotely. Many thanks to Caroline and her team for their effort and dedication, and patience and thoughtfulness. -Reynold T. read more

Caroline Aslan at the Estridge Group made our home-buying process so enjoyable! She was very responsive and flexible to our schedules, and very savvy with the negotiations and advice. We never felt rushed or pressured, and always felt heard. We couldn't have done it with out her and would highly recommend this team for anyone in the realtor market! read more

We were first-time homebuyers with a lot of questions and Cheryl Kincaid helped us through every step of the process. We're so grateful she was on our side and looking out for us. We could not be more happy with the house we found and bought with her help. Thank you Cheryl! read more

We worked with Cheryl Kincaid and had an amazing experience. She walked us through our first time home buying experience and gave honest, helpful advice every step of the process. She was very quick to address any questions that we had and we felt like she always had our best interest. I would highly recommend Cheryl and the entire Estridge Group team. read more

To be honest, it was by pure luck that I stumbled across the Estridge Group. But that's not you, because you're a savvy Internet researcher! I originally looked in DC but ended up closing on a fantastic property in VA and worked with Dan and team throughout the process. They accommodated me without a problem. Let me say, I never felt rushed or pressured into buying anything. Looking at properties with Dan felt more like going with an old friend with a vast wealth of local and real estate knowledge. He helped me break down what I was getting, and the true value of whatever property we were in that day as well as what it might be worth in the future. They truly aren't satisfied until you find exactly what you are looking for in a home! The closing process could not have been smoother, and I dare you to find someone better! Oh, and don't be fooled by the small number of Yelp reviews, they actually do many closings. I recommend them to all my friends, and would to you too. Good luck with your search! read more

We loved working with Caroline Aslan and the rest of the team at the Estridge Group. Caroline was knowledgable, kind, and patient. She was quick to respond to our calls and emails, happy to answer all the questions we had as first time homebuyers, and struck the right balance between bringing enthusiasm to our search process without making us feel pressured into making offers on houses we weren't fully excited about. Tom and the Closing team were also great. They helped us through the final steps of the process and made it possible for us to close especially quickly (in under 30 days!). Caroline was also able to connect us with excellent referrals for painters and contractors to handle some initial work we wanted to get done on our home. On the whole, we've really enjoyed working with Caroline and will be recommending her widely! read more

We worked with Caroline Aslan from the Estridge Group. From our very first conversation, we learned more about the home buying process than we had in months. Caroline is knowledgeable, experienced, professional, and someone you want in your corner. It is safe to say that we would not have gotten our first home without her guidance and encouragement. We hope to work with her again in the future! Highly recommend Caroline and the Estridge Group! read more

Daniel Schuler made my life so easy after my mother passed away. He handled every little detail from giving general honest advice to coordinating cleaners, landscapers, staging, estate sellers- you name it. The process could not have been easier for our family. He was always available when we needed him and he always kept us updated on the process and plans going forward. Highly highly recommended. read more

Melinda Estridge sold our home in Chevy Chase MD in just a few days, over list! She helped us from start to finish, always checking in with us and available to answer any questions. Melinda also has an awesome team. She is a local expert. She and her team know everyone and that helps get things done fast! They know the real estate market. If you want the best, hire them. I would hire her and her team to sell my house again! read more

We just recently bought a house and I cannot say enough good things about Daniel Schuler, our realtor. He spent many weekends on the search with us, helping both my husband and I hone in on what we actually wanted in a home. He gave great advice through every step of the process and we both know for a fact that if it wasn't for Daniel, we probably wouldn't be living in our perfect little home. In DC, the housing market is competitive and it really helped having someone like Daniel on your side. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Melinda and her entire team. They are experienced, knowledgeable, highly professional, responsive and very easy to work with. Melinda knows the market very well and was terrific in helping us prepare to put our house on the market and guiding us through the sales process. I highly recommend the Estridge Group. read more

Daniel Schuler was our agent and he was always available to answer questions, meet us to look at homes, offer advice and help us navigate the details involved in purchasing a house. We feel fortunate to have had Daniel to offer support and guidance. read more

My family and I moved to the DC area last February and were connected with the Estridge Group by my company. Connecting with this group has been amazing. The market here is unbelievably competitive given the population explosion in DC metro. Bob O'Toole, our main contact at Estridge, guided us into the right neighborhoods for us to search and patiently helped us craft a proposal that would be a winner in a market where sellers are getting 10-12 offers before the open house. Bob did not disappear after the sale. When asked, he helped connect us to contractors, painters, etc. He still checks on us regularly. We not only connected with a Realtor I think we have a new friend. read more

Working with Daniel Schuler and the Estridge Group to buy a home was a wonderful experience! He has a broad knowledge of the properties and neighborhoods in the DC/MoCo area. When we made the decision to place an offer, Daniel and the rest of the Estridge Group processed the paperwork quickly and constantly stayed in touch. Overall, they made the home buying experience much less daunting, even to a complete novice! read more

As it turned out we had a complex sale with multiple players. Without the attention to detail, experience, diligence, clout, depth and breadth of the group, we doubt that this transaction would have been successful. Melinda's team lead by herself and Joyce Brown kept us informed every step of the way including calls overseas. They had many helpful suggestions that we are sure facilitated the sale. They managed all legal, physical (care of the home, website elements, etc.) and worrying aspects expertly. All members of the team are true professionals. read more

We were extremely pleased with the outcome of selling our home in Kensington, MD through Daniel Schuler and his team at Estridge Group. Daniel was enthusiastic and attentive. Daniel walked us through the complete process from prepping our home, staging, listing, negotiating and the settlement agreement. He and his team were thorough, efficient and had many resources that we were able to use. After considering other realtors, we are very happy to have selected working with Daniel. read more

I worked with Melinda & The Estridge Group as an agent, and they are wonderful. They are extremely professional and attentive to answer any questions you may have. They are knowledgeable about the area and I would highly recommend them! read more

We recently sold our home in Chevy Chase, MD. Since it was a one-of-a-kind house, we were very careful to choose a real estate agent who knew the area and the market, but who also could devise a plan that would capture the unique appeal of the house. We interviewed three very qualified agencies, but chose the Estridge Group after meeting with Melinda Estridge and Daniel Schuler. We couldn't have been more happy with our choice. They were extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to serving our needs. We relied on Melinda, Daniel, & their team for everything, including recommendations for a pre-sale home inspector, a stager and helpers for the work of organizing the home for showing, people to handle the estate sale, and even the movers. We relied completely on their expertise at every stage of the sale process. The bottom line was more than satisfactory, since we sold the house at our asking price in a matter of days. We couldn't recommend the Estridge Group more highly. read more

I can't say enough about Daniel Schuler and the Estridge Group team. When my husband and I decided it was time to make our first home purchase in the Silver Spring area, we felt a bit lost and overwhelmed in terms of where to start. From the very beginning, Daniel was the consummate professional; he was exceedingly knowledgeable, always responsive, extremely flexible, and perhaps most importantly, he was always understanding, patient, and kind. He listened to our needs and wants, gave us amazing advice, answered all of our countless questions, and saw us through every step of the home buying process (even while he was on vacation in Montana!). In the end, he closed the deal on our house despite two other offers because he not only successfully advised us on our offer, but he also had a previously established and positive rapport with the listing agent. I would highly recommend Daniel to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the DMV! read more

I had the pleasure of working with Scott Sachs well over a year ago to find a suitable rental home in Chevy Chase for myself, before my family would arrive from overseas. Scott did a great job quickly finding the right home at the right price in the right location for me, and helped me clinch the lease, even though there were several other interested parties. In the process, Scott became a trusted friend. When my family arrived in the area a year later, we started looking for a home to buy and of course turned again to Scott. He again did a great job understanding what we were looking for, and helped us find the home of our dreams in Potomac in a very short span of time. He deftly navigated a challenging process (there was already a sales contract on the home), coordinated a thorough inspection process so we knew what we were buying, and did an awesome job helping us negotiate a fair price. Scott is a master of relationships, and has a keen eye for both the big picture and all the details of home-buying, and stayed on it until the deal was signed, sealed and delivered. We are now working with him to source the right contractors for some work on the house. If you want an energetic realtor with an excellent sense of humor, perspective and a deep understanding of your wants and needs, who executes flawlessly and delivers, look no further. I highly and unequivocally recommend him. read more

The Estridge Group and Daniel Schuler completely exceeded my expectations. Great advice, very professional, excellent customer service and my home sold in less than a week -- based on the excellent strategy by my realtor. I'd use them again with no hesitations. read more

We were relocating to the DC area, and were house hunting long distance. Daniel did everything he could to accomplish finding us a home. Endless FaceTime tours and questions were always greeted with a smile. He truly was great to work with and completely focused ensuring our needs were met. He's expertise in the area helped educate us in narrowing down an area. Highly recommend Daniel. read more

I signed up with the Estridge Group on a recommendation from my son who has worked with Melinda twice. I was unsure about selling my house of 39 years, which I dearly love, but it was becoming too much for me to handle alone. Melinda and Scott gave me time to come to a decision and then handled nearly everything from that point on. My house sold quickly, for less than I wanted, but by then I was committed. Scott was terrific at handling all the detours in our path and certainly earned his commission on this occasion. Never realized how hard these agents have to work! read more

As a single gal looking to purchase her first home, I couldn't have done better than to work with The Estridge Group. Their team not only competently and considerately guided me through every step of the process, but they also went above and beyond to make the experience a positive--even fun--one! DC is a tough buyer's market, but I couldn't be happier with the experience I had with The Estridge Group team of professionals. No question was too inane, and I was confident they had my best interest in mind at every turn--from my first phone call with Tom, as he patiently explained the difference between being pre-approved vs. pre-qualified (who knew?!) to the many hours Daniel gladly accompanied me through the city until I found the place that made me step back and say "I really like this one," which was no easy feat. When securing financing for my perfect place became a challenge--through no fault of my own--The Estridge Group team exceeded expectations to help me find a lender who would approve an unconventional mortgage. I wouldn't be settled in and loving my new home today without them on my side. I highly recommend them for your next property purchase. It'll be the first best first decision you'll make in the process--and they'll be with you every step of the way helping you make all of the other best decisions as well. read more

Highly recommend this group of realtors. After our house didn't sell with a different firm, we interviewed five different realtors from various agencies. Melinda and Daniel came to the interview as a team and knocked our socks off. And, they got our house sold. You would think that's the end of our relationship with them, right? Wrong! They've stayed in touch, Daniel visited us in our new house, and we had a blast at their annual client's gathering. Don't even think about it....sign with them. read more

We were thrilled with Melinda and her team. They advised us through the pre-sale madness, offering us advice as well as the names of talented professionals to help us spruce up our home. They were very attentive and helpful as we placed our home on the market. Because of their strategic advice and insights we sold our home quickly. I consider the Estridge Group to be the best in the business and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone considering selling their home. read more

We interviewed a number of well-regarded local sellers' agents and picked Melinda Estridge and her team based on their superb track record of high list-to-sale price and low days on market in Bethesda (20814) and the surrounding area. It turned out to be the best real-estate decision we've ever made, as our home sold for $100k over asking within 5 days! Melinda and her team were great to work with throughout - very professional, available 24x7, and ready with top-notch advice. In addition to the marketing and staging at the end of the process, Melinda's team took care of all of the little repairs that needed to be made before we even listed the house. They put the jobs out for bid from multiple contractors, got us competitive pricing, and coordinated the work of the painters, handymen, and other miscellaneous contractors. We didn't even have to pay for any of it out of pocket, because all of the contractors agreed to take payment at settlement. Bottom line: we could not be happier with the process and the outcome and recommend very highly! read more

Melinda helped us both buy and sell homes. She provided great advice that helped our offer stand out not simply on price but other terms as well, which proved to be the difference. She also provided great advice selling our home, which attracted a solid offer for the price we expected. Her office was very responsive and kept us informed throughout the entire process of buying and selling. She clearly knows and understands the real estate business and works hard to keep her clients informed and comfortable throughout the entire process! We absolutely recommend The Estridge Group to anyone considering buying or selling in the DC area! read more
