She was helpful and on top of everything. It was great to have open communication and lots of access for their questions and concerns. Every time they had questions, she was responsive and available. Her knowledge about the market and the selling process was valuable and informative. Given all of the steps of selling, Jin stayed so involved and had good relationships with other service providers as well, like cleaners and movers. She was present for the walk-through and settlement with my family, and she attended every meeting with the new home builders. That kind of presence and hands-on involvement was so important and something that can't be taken for granted, because other agents do not have that level of care. For any future inquiries, my family is happy to recommend her services.

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.

Philippa is wonderful and the best realtor I have ever dealt with. I needed someone familiar with…read moretrusts and successor trustees and she met all the criteria. She had a superb "selling your home guide" that had her personal experience as well as how the home would be marketed and including tips on moving. She started with numerous open houses and provided feedback on those as well as on individual appointments. The real good news on all that was the feedback she provided from buyer's realtors which enabled real time adjustments as needed. Her communication throughout the entire process was flawless and timely. And her responsiveness to my numerous inquiries was almost immediate. Would highly recommend her to everyone selling a house in Falls Church or Northern Virginia. You will not be disappointed and you will be thankful you hired her!

She assisted my brother and me with the sale of our parents' home in April 2022. I have worked with many real estate professionals on several transactions over the years and can say with confidence that Philippa is one of the best I have ever used. Philippa has the qualities that make her an extremely successful and effective agent. We found her extremely knowledgeable and well-attuned to the super fast-changing market of early 2022. She was always attentive to our concerns and very responsive to questions, often responding immediately no matter the time. She showed great attention to detail enabling the sale to be made in less than a week. Our mother had recently passed away and we were raw with grief. Furthermore, we live in California, so it was even more important that we could rely on someone like Philippa to take the reins from beginning to end and that is exactly what she did. She was able to interpret and solve all the questions pertaining to our mother's Trust without the need for outside lawyers, and this was a great convenience to us. We also feel that we got the highest price possible for the house based on her pricing strategy and advice. Philippa exceeded our expectations in every way. The sale went very smoothly and we closed on time. I would not hesitate to recommend Philippa to anyone in need of a listing agent or for the purchase of a home. We interviewed three other agents before deciding on Philippa and she did not disappoint. Every detail was perfect, from the fantastic professional photos, the listing description, to the impeccable transactional aspects leading to the close of escrow. In a nutshell, she is a top tier professional, intelligent, tenacious, fun and talkative, bright and conscientious. If you need an agent/broker then hire Philippa Main. You won't be disappointed.

If you are looking for a realtor, look no further. Laura is the ONE! My husband and I were…read morefirst-time home buyers buying a condo in Arlington. Laura was recommended to us as a top agent in the DMV area with impressive transaction volume each year. Although we identified multiple agents through our search, we immediately decided to work with Laura after our initial video call because we were impressed by her knowledge of the local housing market and all aspects of real estate transaction. We are so grateful that we did! We were buying a condo in a very competitive area. Every time when we made an offer, we had a competing offer and had to act very quickly to make our offer more competitive. Laura worked around the clock to prepare the comparative market analysis, tour the units with us, crafted and advised us on compelling offer terms and negotiated with the seller agents. Our closing had some extra complexities due to the condo building's financing approval being expired. Laura skillfully helped us navigate this issue. She proactively included relevant language in our offer to protect us from such financing issue before we even knew there was an issue with the condo building. After we discovered the issue, Laura was in constant communication with the seller's agent, condo building and mortgage broker to speedily resolve the issue and ensure we could close on time within 3 weeks. Laura's price prediction and recommendations were spot on when we submitted our offer. She recommended us to adjust our offer to a certain price to increase our chance of sealing the deal at our offer price (instead of activating the price escalation clause and resulting in us paying a higher price). We were able to be the winning offer because of Laura's excellent communication skills and expert advice. We followed Laura's recommendation and did not have to pay more than our offer price for the condo. The appraisal ended up being higher than our purchase price. We are grateful that Laura helped us secure our dream home at a great price. Laura was extremely responsive and patient. We had a lot of questions as first-time home buyers. Laura patiently answered all of our questions at any time of the day. Despite her busy schedule, she accommodated our challenging schedules and requests under short notice every single time, which enabled us to close our home with great success. We could not have asked for a better realtor to share this home purchase journey with. Thank you Laura for being an outstanding, caring and dedicated realtor!

I randomly met Danny at a dog park three years ago and was impressed by the real estate work shown…read moreon his social media. 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.

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!

She spent time giving her perspective on the market and easing my concerns about getting started before we had a formal contract with her. She was willing to see many houses throughout our search as we looked at too small and too large homes until we found one right in the middle. Lara was fun to work with, she was always upbeat and helpful. More than anything we felt like Lara was 100% focused on our needs as a family, not about closing a quick deal, not about optimizing her commission, and not about what would have been easy. She felt like part of our family and that she was as invested in finding the right thing for us as we were. She was always thinking strategy for us when she saw we had some interest in a home, and her communication with the other agents was awesome as this approach helped us gain insights and positioning. She talked us through the strategy to make our offer to win against 7 other buyers and we still felt like we got great value for our home. Our only regret is that we used a different agent to sell our prior home and it would have been much smoother and more positive experience with Lara by our side! We also worked with Kim and Kristina at different portions of the closing process and both were great, they were communicative and responsive and gave great information when we had questions.
