I cannot say enough good things about working with Lauren Pillsbury at TTR Sotheby's. This was my…read morefirst ever home purchase, and Lauren was great at walking me through the process and answering the many questions I had. In a very competitive real estate market for buyers, I felt that Lauren had great knowledge of what it takes to make a successful bid, and took a very strategic approach. I was confident that working with Lauren I would end up with a home that I loved. And I did! I also think that it's important to be comfortable with your agent. Lauren is not only very knowledgeable, but is warm and personable. I knew I could talk to Lauren honestly about what I wanted, and what my limitations were, and she took all of that into consideration. She never pushed me to consider things outside my price range, and still came up with great listings. I will definitely use Lauren in the future!

My wife and I ran into Lauren by chance on some property that she was selling in the DC area. We…read morewere not sold on the place, but we were sold on her qualities of a real estate agent. We took a roll of the dice on someone we didn't know to guide us through this jungle that is DC's housing market. Her partner, Tyler Garrison did a great job of selling our current place and Lauren followed up with a 1-2 punch of getting us a perfect house in a perfect timing sequence to enable us to move right from the sale to the new house. Lauren was always on time and knew the house and neighborhood she was showing. She is a DC resident and it shows, not only in her abilty to tell you about each neighborhood, but in the way she can parallel park her car in no time flat. Lauren took the time to get to know our needs/wants and catered her information about new houses to our requests. She was very open to our criticisms and our likes to eliminate things we didn't want to see. When the right house came along, she was right there to get all the details worked out. Her follow ups were nothing less that perfection. She even showed up for the inspection and arranged everthing. The company Lauren keeps is just as stellar as she is. Everything from the inspection to the closing was taken care of with her and the relationships she has with reputable companies. Lauren was instrumental in dealing with our mortgage company (who was not as on-top-of-things as she is). In the end we got 15k knocked off our closing, thanks to lauren and the inspection report... which we never thought possible! THANKS! If you are thinking of getting the best agent possible.. look no further. Don't delay... call Mrs. Pillsbury up. You won't regret it.

I tried to elevate my frustrations but was told that Maceo doesn't work for DC urban living, which he does. He is on their about me website.

As a first time home buyer, there was a lot that I did not know. Mrs. Clark is very knowledgeable and provided me with information about the home buying process, services and programs available to me. She was patient, supportive and courteous.

In addition, her website was a very useful tool in my home buying process. It helped me see homes in my price range and helped her to see what things I wanted in a home. I was very pleased with my service and recommend her to any home buyer or seller.

She is smart, patient, super knowledgeable, friendly, professional, easy to work with, I could go on and on. She responded (promptly) to countless emails from us, showed us properties when she was 9 months pregnant, and offered tons of wisdom and insight along the way--about both buying a house and owning a home. So many times during the process, I said to my partner things like "as Tara always says" or "it's just like Tara told us." If you're buying for the first time, you'd be crazy to go with anyone else. And even if it's not the first time, don't go with anyone else. Tara is extremely helpful without ever being pushy and has an uncanny ability to help you figure out exactly what you want, then to help you go out and get it. We worked with other members of the City Chic team during our search as well (for example, when Tara thought it was important to see a property ASAP but was out of town for the weekend), and were always impressed.

I was disappointed in DC Living Real Estate, even though I would say that the price we ultimately…read morereceived for the sale of our house was satisfactory, as were the number of days the house was on the market. In addition, the DC Living brokers worked hard. There were aspects, too, of our sale that would have tried the patience of any broker, and they remained cheerful and positive throughout. Some, and perhaps most, buyers would find the two principal brokers to be a good fit. Despite all of this, I found my relationship with one of the brokers to be among the most problematic I've had with a professional. I would urge anyone considering these brokers to make sure that they are equally comfortable with both, as their styles are quite different. My clear preference for dealing with the one with whom I felt I still had a good relationship was overridden at every turn. I particularly regret having agreed to dual agency. In effect, as soon as I had done so, I no longer felt I could receive reliable advice on the price negotiations, and later on the negotiations over the list of repairs. I'm pretty sure in retrospect that the buyers would have gone through with the purchase without the split-it-down-the-middle approach that dual agency invites. I don't know this for sure, and it is quite possible we would have made the same concessions had we been advised by a broker with no stake in serving the buyer, but with dual agency I couldn't be sure. I don't blame DC Living for having agreed to dual agency, although it wasn't clear until afterwards when I asked that they did not have a prior relationship to the buyers before meeting them at one of our open houses. Later, when the broker with whom I had a problematic relationship described a portion of the commission that they were kicking back to the buyer as having been granted to help make the deal work, it seemed curious. When I inquired, I was advised that the buyers had asked for it during the negotiations to bridge the gap between us, but it was not disclosed at the time it was asked for or granted, but rather later as a heads up in connection with a form that we would see at settlement. It didn't make any difference to the amount of commission we paid, but it dovetailed with the narrative I was developing in which I felt managed and not listened to or treated with genuine respect.
