I have worked with several real estate agents before and Philippa Main is one of the best I have…read moreworked with. She helped me purchase my home in Arlington, VA and I am very grateful for everything she did. What I appreciate most about Philippa is her honesty. She is a direct person and tells you exactly what she thinks, even sometimes when it's not what you want to hear. I respect this a lot because buying a house is a big financial decision and I don't need someone who just agrees with me on everything. I need someone who understands the market and can give me real advice. She is great with the numbers and knowing property values. She knows Arlington real estate market very well and was able to explain why certain homes were priced correctly and others were not... I also look at real estate from investment perspective, so this was very important for me. She always had information prepared and never made me feel pressured to buy something. The entire process from searching for homes, negotiating the offer, inspection, and closing went very smoothly. She was always available for questions and made sure everything was handled properly. I felt very comfortable trusting her with my important purchase. Since buying my house I have already recommended Philippa to some friends and people I know. I don't give recommendations easily because my own reputation is also important to me. But with Philippa I know they will be in good hands. I highly recommend Philippa Main to anyone buying or selling a house in Arlington or Northern Virginia. She is a straight shooter, experienced and cares about doing the right thing for her clients. I am very happy with my purchase and thankful I had her as my realtor.

COMPLAINT AGAINST THOMAS HUNDLEY, OF HUNDLEY & ASSOCIATES…read more On July 14, 2022, Thomas Hundley inspected my house for a real estate appraisal, and I gave him a check (at his request) for $550. He said he could get his appraisal to me in "about a week." July 25, 2022: I emailed Tom checking in on the status of the appraisal. He never responded. July 28, 2022: I emailed Tom and asked him when he would be able to get the appraisal to me. He never responded. August 2, 2022: I texted Tom inquiring about when he would be able to get the appraisal to me. He never responded. August 3, 2022: I called Tom and left a detailed voicemail message asking him to at least respond to me about the status of my appraisal. (He never responded to my text message that I sent yesterday, August 2, 2022). August 4, 2022: Tom called me back, and said he was delayed because (a) his wife had died; (b) he was in the process of selling his house, and (c) the battery on his cell phone had died. He promised me that he would have the appraisal to me later that day. Never happened. August 8, 2022: Still no report from Tom. At 10:30am, I sent him a text message asking him when I would get my appraisal. I got no response. At 2:20pm, I called Tom on his cell phone, but he didn't answer. I left a detailed voicemail message asking him to call me per my text message and voicemail message. (Note: While Tom was doing the inspection of my house, he interrupted the inspection to take a phone call from a prospective new client. I heard the whole conversation. He complained that he had to pay a fee to HomeAdvisor.com for ever lead he gets). I also emailed him on this date, but he never responded. August 9, 2022: I emailed Tom again asking him why he was not responding to my emails, texts, and voicemail messages, and informing him that the delayed appraisal was holding up my divorce proceedings. I asked him when he would be able to get the appraisal to me. He never responded. August 10, 2022: I called him at 11:30am and he answered the phone. He promised that he would have the appraisal to me by 3pm on that day. He said that "a few things went sideways" in his life and that was the reason for his delay. August 15, 2022: I sent him a detailed text message explaining my frustrations with him not responding to my emails and text messages, and the fact that his delays were holding up my divorce, and asking him what his intentions were. He never responded. August 22, 2022: I still have heard nothing from Tom. It has been 6 weeks since he inspected the house and told me that he would have the appraisal to me in "about a week." He has not responded to any more of my texts, emails, or phone calls, so I have given up on him and hired a different appraiser.

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.

Antonio found that one of our sump pumps was broken, resulting in some moisture build up, and the associated mold. All that needed to be done was some minor mold remediation and replacement of the pump. Contrast that with two other estimates we had obtained (before we remembered the warranty) that didn't find the faulty sump pump, and wanted to replace drains and do major mold remediation for thousands more dollars, rather than just treating the moldy area. To top that off, I called on a Friday, they were able to come by and assess the situation the same day, and do the work the following Monday! No waiting!
