Our experience working with Jin Wickwire to sell our home has been nothing short of wonderful. Over…read morethe past 13+ years, and across multiple moves (this was our third home in Virginia alone), Jin has consistently been thorough and professional--from the earliest pre-planning stages all the way through post-closing. This most recent sale came with several contingencies that could have delayed or derailed the process. We were understandably worried, but Jin took each one by the horns and resolved them one by one. Thanks to her skill and determination, we closed right on schedule. How else can we describe her? Simply fabulous. Her team was equally wonderful and a pleasure to work with. Thank you so much, Jin!

We don't usually leave negative reviews, but our experience with our former landlord and real…read moreestate agent, Jin Wickwire, unfortunately ended on a very disappointing note. While the home-buying process itself was smooth, our move-out experience was the complete opposite. As a family with young children, we were repeatedly questioned and made to feel uncomfortable over normal wear and tear......things like minor drywall nicks that are expected in any home with kids. These were already being addressed on our end with a contractor, as we had communicated. Despite agreeing to cover repairs and forfeit a $3,000 deposit, we were met with unnecessary comments and a level of aggression that felt unprofessional and unwarranted. It was especially disappointing given that we chose to work with her over many other options, expecting a level of trust and respect in return. We believe in accountability and were fully willing to take care of any legitimate damages....but respect and professionalism should go both ways. Based on this experience, we would not recommend doing business with Jin.

When we were considering a new home, I took a risk and reached out to Danny. I am glad my husband and I made the choice to go with him for both selling our townhouse and buying a single family home. Danny was respectful of our timeline. It's a big decision to move and we had many unpredictable life events along the way. Danny was never pushy and made himself available for whenever we were ready. When we finally decided to sell April 2022, Danny made everything easy by giving us a clear list of what should be done while factoring in our budget and household. With two dogs and a newborn baby, we couldn't do all the renovations and had restrictions on how long we could be out of our house. We appreciated Danny's understanding around this. Danny has great connections and was able to refer us to a great staging company that really helped showcase our home. Within four days of being on market, we had ten offers and was able to sell 11% over asking price. Waiting for offers can be nerve wracking but Danny's fast communication helped reduce a lot of the nerves. Regardless of time/day, he kept us in the loop so we were able to decide upon the best offer with his guidance. Danny was just as responsive when we worked with him to buy a new house May 2022. I'm not sure how he does it but somehow he's always able to send us info about any listings we inquire within an hour (usually within minutes). We were even able to schedule showings with him for the day of. Given how competitive the market can be, Danny's swiftness really helped us score our dream home. Thanks to Danny's constant communication with the selling agent, we beat out four other offers and signed the contract within 3 days of seeing the house. Danny has been so helpful through this entire process and we highly recommend him. He knows the northern VA area well and gave useful feedback for each house that we saw together, taking in our needs and wants. Danny has all the key traits needed in a realtor: responsive, reliable and most importantly, he made us feel comfortable and gained our trust as we navigated the big transactions of selling and buying a home. I've already referred a friend to Danny and happily will send more referrals his way in the future.

Danny was amazing to work with. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and generous. He took the…read moretime to explain common sense concepts to us as first-time homebuyers. He was always available to show houses. His experience was helpful in that each showing was an opportunity to point out what to look for in the different properties. He would point out that large tree roots may damage this foundation so it will need to be removed soon... or point out the age of the HVAC system which would be a large investment soon. We were able to learn about the various contingencies in real estate and when to use them. This was our first offer, and even though we weren't the highest offer, we were able to win because of a bunch of different factors. Danny helped us through the entire process and we are so happy with our new house!

Obtaining the services of a real estate agent is much more than "finding someone to sell your…read morehome". This is especially true if you are selling an inherited property as I was earlier this year. A good real estate agent will know the area, know the laws and rules and will help assess your home and get it listed and sold for a "good price". A great real estate agent is a counselor, a partner in your effort, someone who "has your back" throughout the process in addition to doing all of the real estate work. Philippa Main is an *outstanding* real estate agent and an even better person. My father passed away leaving a home in Woodbridge, Virginia - the home in which I grew up and which contained almost 50 years of possessions. I contacted Philippa in March of 2026 to discuss its potential sale even as the house was in significant disarray while I engaged in the slow process of cleaning it out and sorting through the many things my parents had accumulated over the years. When she visited the home, I looked around and threw up my hands. Philippa looked around and said, "we can make this happen." I sought her out specifically because she mentioned having expertise in sales of homes that are inherited - a particular niche that involves a delicate dance of handling family dynamics, wills, probate laws and determining what, if any, money should be put into renovations or improvements that will get a reasonable return on the investment. From our first conversation over the phone - which she took time to do in the middle of a busy weekend - Philippa was incredibly personable, easy to talk to and anticipated many of my questions and many of my concerns as we talked. By the end of our conversation, I felt like I was chatting with a friend who had expertise I needed. Over the following three months, she was a (rapidly-responded-to) text or phone call away as I navigated getting the house ready for sale. She helped outline a schedule and a plan to list the home. She connected me with a large network of trusted service providers from junk removers to contractors to painters to flooring experts from whom I obtained estimates and some of whom I contracted to help clear out the house and prepare it for sale. While she always reiterated that she would back any decision I made regarding the house, I always sought her counsel when making major decisions such as whether or not to spend money on renovations and, if so, which ones were most important. Of course, there were obstacles - some amusing, some less-so - but Philippa helped me handle each one with a confidence borne of having "seen it before". That is an incredibly valuable thing when dealing with a stressful situation. In the end, the home was listed in June and had nearly seventy showings in three days. The house sold for well over its asking price and after all of it I know some things: The home could have been sold by another agent. But few, if any, others could have been a partner in the process the way Philippa was for me. She was a trusted resource, a confidant, a person who knew when to inject humor into a situation and when helping me vent was what was needed - she understands people and the process of selling an inherited home in addition to being a brilliant real estate agent who knows the area and who knows how to get the job done. I couldn't recommend her more for ANY real estate work but, especially, if you face the task of preparing and selling an inherited property.

I strongly advise homeowners to stay away from Bay Management Group. My property sat vacant for…read morenearly a year, and when they finally informed me that a tenant was interested, they provided no details about the applicant. I later discovered they never completed a proper background check. The tenant they placed in my home never paid rent (not even once) and never paid the water bill. BMG failed to perform even the most basic due diligence and allowed someone to occupy my property without verifying their qualifications. Their negligence has cost me tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees and damages as I've tried to remove this tenant. Communication was consistently poor, critical information was withheld, and their handling of my property was completely unacceptable. I would not recommend this company to anyone looking for responsible, competent property management.

Would not recommend Bay Property Management to other landlords. After paying management fees, the…read moreexperience largely felt like a glorified pass-through service between the tenant and owner, without much actual expertise, strategy, or value-add. One of the biggest frustrations was that they essentially refused to actively market the property until it was completely vacant, prioritizing convenience for their process over minimizing vacancy time and protecting rental income. Any experienced leasing operation should be able to coordinate marketing and showings while tenants are still occupying the property. Their agreement also allows them to add markups or coordination fees when using their preferred vendors, which quickly makes routine maintenance more expensive. Many interactions felt more administrative than consultative -- forwarding emails, asking me what to do in situations where I expected property management guidance, and pushing decisions back onto the owner rather than proactively managing issues. For the fees charged, I expected more strategic guidance, stronger leasing execution, and more hands-on management overall.

Dawn was recommended because my wife and I were a little indecisive and could not decide between Virginia and Maryland. Since she's licensed in both Virginia and Maryland, she was able to show us houses in both states; she must have shown us 50 houses. Once we found our home, Dawn guided us through the entire process from bidding through closing. Dawn patiently explained every form we signed and every step and every option we had until we closed on the house. We could not have asked for a better teacher than Dawn for our first home buying experience. Later, we finally were ready to move up to a bigger home and Dawn again came through for us. We found a house we liked and asked Dawn to help us buy it. Offers were required quickly and Dawn immediately found us a mortgage specialist who could get us a pre-approval letter for the offer. We had a weekend and Dawn was able to put together the winning offer on the house that weekend. After we moved, it was time to sell our old townhouse and we were blown away with Dawn's expertise in selling. We hadn't updated the house at all and we were behind on maintenance, but Dawn helped us put together a plan to get the best price for our house. She created a list of improvements we could do that were cost effective; picking out all the furnishing and fixtures to maximize our selling price. She found a general contractor to do all the updates and kept us abreast of their progress. She also guided us through Compass Concierge so we didn't have to pay immediately for any of the improvements. After construction was done, she helped us find cleaners to clean the house and a staging company to stage the house. The house was completely unrecognizable; it looked like something out of HGTV. We sold within a weekend, 25K over our asking price. We were so pleased that we also recommended her to my parents to sell my grandfather's house. She worked her magic and transformed the stale 1980's interior into a modern interior. There was a bidding war and my grandfather's house sold for 90K over asking. My aunts and mom cannot stop raving about her. Whether buying or selling a house, I cannot recommend Dawn more.
