Well as a first time home buyer in one of the highest markets in the country, I of course had major anxiety of can I afford to live in Arlington, VA. Well as a realtor, Nicole made these anxieties go away. I told her what I wanted as a first time home buyer, I told her what I wanted to spend, I told her where I wanted to live, and I told her I was freaked out! She did her job, and she directed me every step of the way. Nicole took me to several properties (snow, rain, you name it she always showed up with a smile), she had lenders lined up, she had contractors lined up, she even went out of her way to make the closing date at both the time and day that I wanted. Nicole knows the area, and she comes with an entire portfolio of individuals that will help you when buying your first home or 3rd home (lenders, title people, contractors, personal experience). I couldn't ask for a better realtor when going through the experience of buying my first home, she made the process seamless and gave me the confidence I needed to make my first real investment. Nicole, THANK YOU!

I do not RECOMMEND this company at all. Karen Reynoso and her husband Fabian Reynoso are scamming…read moreand taking advantage of people (come to find out he's not even a Maryland licensed realtor). Fabian Reynoso has emailed and called my phone for two years to sell my property in Fort Washington, MD. After finally deciding to put my house on the market I contacted Fabian to get the job done on 7/4/18. I was ready to put my house on the market to rent or sell as is! Fabian convinced me to use a few contractors he knew to renovate my property to get it up to date. I told Fabian that my budget was $8,000 no more than $10,000. He understood and agreed. He had his wife come in Karen Reynoso as if she was an interior design person on 7/18/18. She gave good ideas and suggestions as to what should be done with the property. She suggested the laundry room being fully renovated, new flooring, turning two bathrooms into one big bathroom, painting kitchen cabinets and repainting the walls. I agreed as long as they could squeeze all of that within a $8,000 to $10,000 budget. Fabian and his wife Karen agreed with a witness being present. Fabian promised the house would be done within a week. He reassured me the contractor would start the following Wednesday. That never happened. The contractor started work on 9/16/18. I've called Fabian twice between July and September to tell him I no longer wanted his help or services because the over promises was simply costing me money and time. I've lost several possible renters giving Fabian my time and him not executing the plans as he promised on time and in time. Needless to say the contractor did not leave and finish his work until 10/17/18. On 10/17/18 I got a phone call from Fabian telling me his wife will send me a listing agreement contract and a contract for renovations for proceeds to be taken out during settlement. I was surprised that Fabian name wasn't on the listing agreement. After all work was done and no discussion or permission Fabian hits me with a $16,000.00+ bill. I was livid. That's not what we agreed on. I asked for an itemized bill after he told me he had to spend money on unexpected and miscellaneous things. I terminated my relationship with Fabian and Karen Reynoso and explained to them that I rather have an attorney deal with the situation because I felt they were not being upfront and taking advantage of me. Since then these people have proceeded to put a lien on my house. Karen has called me after and I have to explained to her that there was nothing to discuss and that we will settle this matter in court. She rudely told me I will pay her the monies and pay her attorney fees as well. I told Karen to never call me again. Since then Karen Reynoso has modified the original agreement. These people are fraudulent. I have also filed a complaint with Maryland Real Estate License Commission against Fabian for coming off as if he's a licensed Maryland realtor trying to represent me in a real estate transaction just to bait me in and then at the very end throwing me to his wife Karen who I thought was only his assistant and an interior designer. These folks are very tricky, greedy and have I'll intent. No telling how many other folks they have played these games with. So please be careful with this family owned business. This just makes me never want to trust anybody else in the real estate business ever again. Huge lesson learned. I have attached documents please check out where Karen modified the agreement of work that was done to my house for her husband Fabian. None of the things in the agreement was done to my house. Check out the itemized list which is also fraudulent doesn't even match the agreement. The agreement states post construction clean up (no construction was done to my house) laundry room floor renovation (no laundry room floor was renovated), trash pick up (bulk trash picked up)and garage paint (I have no garage). Also attach is text where Fabian is pretending to want to represent me as a real estate agent and is not licensed in Maryland come to find out! These folks are snakes in the grass!!! What's in the dark always come to light. Have a great day!

Working with Elena and her team they were able to remove all my worries so that I could focus on finding a happy home. She worked with me to understand my priorities and set expectations for the new house. Elena went out of her way to ensure she was available any time and day to go look at homes; And send me market comps quickly so that I could make an informed bid on the house. She was meticulous in going over the paperwork and clarifying any questions I had. Elena was thorough, organized and ensured that everything was done on time and kept me very well informed. Procedurally I did not have to worry about anything or follow-up with other parties. Elena was effectively my single point of contact. Elena was available 24*7 and always quick to reply and/or call back. She was also proactively following up with other parties to make sure that nothing fell through the crack and everything was done timely.

Elena helped us to sell our condo two years ago and buy a single family house at the same time. Through the entire process we felt that Elena was not only a real estate agent acting on our behalf but we also felt a genuine and comfortable friendship. A good agent like Elena, can help you save time and money, and can liberate you from anxiety and fatigue. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a house in Northern Virginia, DC or Maryland.

This group unethically prolonged ratification of a viable offer to drum up more offers on a poorly priced listing that's sitting COLD in a HOT market. And immediately after being held accountable, this listing agent undermined the reputable, military-affiliated lender of the potential buyers and increased the listing price by $30K to cover up their group's lack of judgment. That is an experience in working with the Good(bad)hart Group. Additionally, this group is disrespectful of fellow agents, while touting their long (see: out of touch) experience in the industry. From a millennial, veteran, BIPOC perspective, this nepotistic realty group is not one to work with. But if you're seeking a group that is discriminatory, condescending, and generally uncooperative -- this is the one for you.
