Gets better- I called and said simply this 'you guys filled my whole mailbox with junk and I need to be taken off every list Towne gave you.' In the act of hanging up on me - I hear 'oh fck off' . I called back and ironically got the same guy. He claimed I hung up on him- then hung up on me again!!! I called back and had some words but I can't wait to get away from Towne. I worked at Truist for 8 yrs as a VP and can assure you we did not treat clients like this. If you have two close offers, do whatever you can not to go with Towne or you are going to get stalked by junk warrant companies that have all your information Matt G

Steve Bradley and Bradley Group Realtors have provided real estate services on behalf of my family…read morefor a number of years. We have found them to be extremely responsive, detail-oriented and they get results!! Great results!! In selling our home, Bradley Group provided assistance with staging and general advice to help present our home to prospective buyers. They helped us get a solid offer within a week of listing. A couple of years later we purchased a short sale, and Bradley Group was our Realtor. Our offer was submitted and accepted in February, and we closed at the end of April. Everyone who is familiar with purchasing of short sale homes has been amazed when we talk about the timeline for completing our purchase. Bradley Group finds the best of the best in lenders to work with, and made sure we were satisfied with the experience. We have recommended Bradley Group to our friends and family, and they, too have the same home-buying and selling success that we experienced. We have tried other realtors and all we got was an inbox full of listings for us to pore through - none of which seemed to match what we said we were looking for. We called Bradley Group and worked with Steve. He listened to us and looked at the example listings we sent for him to match in his search. He did send us emails with homes for us to look at, but they were spot on with what we told him we were looking for. Every house we looked at, Steve was familiar with the neighborhood and had a wealth of information about the area we were looking at moving to. Steve lives and breathes real estate, and I'm convinced he knows everything there is to know about buying and selling homes in Northern Virginia. There was not a question he couldn't answer for us. When you're buying or selling your house, it can be very stressful. With Steve, we were able to leave all of the heavy lifting to him and his team. They told us everything we needed to do, and we could just focus on those tasks, with no worries that they would drop the ball and cause us to lose out on getting our house. I was happy to finally close on our home, but so sad that the experience with Steve was over. I wish I could buy another house just to have a chance to work with Steve and Bradley Group Realtors again. I will continue to have Bradley Group represent us for home purchases and sales, with no thought of going to someone else. If you want a Realtor who is on your side and won't stop working to get you that dream home that fits your budget and needs, and the Realtor who will guide you through the process to get your home sold, do yourself a favor and call Bradley Group Realtors. I can't say enough about them....

I found Steve when my first realtor totally mismanaged the sale of my home. He priced it way too…read morehigh and at 100 DOM, i searched for a new realtor. I looked at review scores and Steve came up as #1. I couldn't agree more. Although he was working with 100+ DOM, this did not deter him. He priced us better and was very proactive with the buyer's realtors as they came through the house for showings. We weren't able to sell last year (no fault of Steve--it was way past the buying season) so Steve gave us the most optimal choices and never pushed us. He gave us honest answers of the current market activity. So we decided to take it off the market and try again this year. With Steve's guidance, we were able to decide the best approach to position ourselves this year. He priced us well and gave us suggestions on what to spruce up and more importantly, what NOT to spruce up (waste of $$ with no benefit) and when he listed the house on "coming soon" status, someone snatched the house right up within 24 hours of listing. We just went to settlement last week and there were no bumps throughout the process. We had already moved out of the area so he managed the property for us while it was off the market and while we had workers come out to service our yard and home for various reasons (lawn mow, HVAC and plumbing maintenance, carpet cleaning, etc). If i could give Steve 10 stars i would. You'd be a fool not to use Steve to sell your home.

As a first-time homebuyer - I don't think I could have asked for a better experience in getting…read moreapproved for my mortgage. From pre-approval, all the way to closing, Mark and his team truly gave their best efforts to make it happen. Mark is a ROCKSTAR - this guy has the best way of explaining super complicated real estate/mortgage concepts in a way that makes it WAY less intimidating. They are SO organized, and they tell you upfront just exactly what to anticipate through the process, so there are no surprises and so that you can plan ahead. They work via their own portal for document signing and submissions, which makes it that much easier, as well. This was my first property purchase, but I will DEFINITELY be contacting this team again for any future mortgages. I have already recommended Mark and his team to my family, close friends, and even co-workers. Truly a 5-star experience.

Mark and his team were incredible during my house financing experience. Mark's communication,…read moreprofessionalism, and expertise were a cornerstone of the successful processing of my loan and my ability to secure my dream home (despite the pandemic, historically low inventory, and competitive market). I was referred to Mark through my realtor. Mark and his team had a very high response time to all requests/questions. His honest, positive, and calm demeanor enabled us to build trust quickly. At each step of the loan process, Mark provided me with a thorough explanation of what to expect and walked me through every document. He developed and continuously updated a spreadsheet of my projected costs for the property I was looking to buy, so I had zero surprises throughout the process. Mark and his team were exceptionally professional and I could genuinely tell how much they cared about me as their client. Mark's practice is grounded in integrity and following every mortgage guideline to the letter. I heard several individuals I worked with throughout my process comment in a complementary tone that Mark is known throughout the area for being 'by the book' and trusted. Mark went above and beyond to coordinate my VA loan expeditiously and help me be competitive during bidding. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a mortgage, but especially to active duty service members, veterans, and first time homebuyers.

I needed to sell my condo but it was in need of numerous repairs and cosmetic touch ups. I called…read moreJohn Samsky of Samsky's Home Services. He came out and gave me a fixed price: $6,800 for the following: 1. Replace luan base and paint underneath kitchen sink. Paint kick plates at base of kitchen counter. 2. Repair and paint drywall near kitchen stove. 3. Tighten up drooping kitchen cabinets and re-caulk seam between cabinets and ceiling. 4. Repair and repaint numerous areas of "popcorn" ceiling that had cracked and separated over time. 5. Repair ceiling in hallway bathroom that was caused by a water leak. Paint entire bathroom. Install curved shower rod, new toilet paper dispenser and towel rack, new light fixture and doorstop. 6. Install new electrical outlet and ceiling vents in master bathroom. 7. Repair drywall and repaint master bedroom closet and door. Also install new light fixture and shelving. 8. Replace and paint two bi-fold doors in living room closet. New doors did not fit initially and required Mr. Samsky to cut and custom fit them to the closet measurements. 9. Paint all closets and doors (9 doors and 4 closets). 10. Install lockset on bedroom door. 11. Adjust and tighten all electrical outlets. 12. Install new air duct return cover. 13. Re-caulk seam between wall and kitchen counter. Mr. Samsky spent eight days here over a two week period and did very good work! He purchased all of the materials and fixtures himself. He arrived on time each day and worked the entire time he was here. He worked through lunch every day. He took NO cigarette breaks because he doesn't smoke. At the end of each day he cleaned up and put away his tools and hauled away any accumulated trash created on the job. My condo looks great and is now suitable to be put on the market! In summary, just imagine: A licensed contractor who answers and returns phone calls and emails, is courteous, shows up on time and works hard while he is on the job, gives you a fair and set price for the job, is knowledgeable and does good work. That type of contractor is hard to find, but it describes John Samsky very well! If I ever needed handyman services again, John Samsky would be my first choice.

He was super responsive, putting together a list of potential properties to visit on less than 36 hours notice before we even met the first time. During our search, he was always available via email and text, and prompt in replies. He was also timely in all home visits. His background as a contractor, and military experience, were traits we appreciated and which gave him a different perspective than other realtors. He never tried to "sell" us on a home, but looked at every place with a keen eye for detail, possible/probable issues, and a real sense of what we were looking for. During the purchase process, he was 100% on top of the paperwork flow, ensuring timely provision of necessary info to us, and that we were prompt in our responses as necessary, all without being pushy. He also recommended a great lender, which gave us a rate almost half a point lower than the companies we were considering, saving us several hundred dollars per month. In all, our experience with Jeff was excellent. We plan to use him again when we decide to sell or rent our new home, whenever that may happen.
