I worked with Kenneth Wang twice, and hopefully many more, as a title attorney. I cannot stress how…read moreimportant it is to find an agent that treats you as a priority, even knowing he has many other clients and tasks to get done. Having an agent respond at a timely manner is what keeps this industry moving. Kenneth has been great in both transactions. We received the ratified contracts and got the job done! I have no complaints about his quality of work and would instead praise his attention to detail. Kenneth also does not focus on the commission and leave/disappear after the closing. We had a post-closing issue on whether the sellers had taken bricks from the property. Kenneth took it upon himself (after the seller's agent and seller would not replace the bricks or pay for them) to go to home depot and replace the bricks himself. Furthermore, he has been very accommodating on meeting times and location. He makes it so working with him is easy and flexible. I HIGHLY recommend Kenneth Wang as a realtor in all of DMV area!

Thank you, Franky and Team!…read more If you are looking for a house in the DMV area, Franky is the perfect agent! HE IS THE PERSON WHO HELP US TO FIND THE HOUSE JUST WITHIN THE 2nd OFFER in NICE AREA! My husband and I met Franky at one of the open houses in Washington DC. At that time, we didn't have any idea about the home-purchasing process. Even Though we searched online, we still got lost since we didn't know what the first step was and what our priority was. Franky helped us to understand the overall process, and encouraged us to think about our future life to set the goal of home-purchasing. Even Though we were not his clients at the moment, he gave us a 1-hour presentation of the whole process with the pamphlet. When we decided to go with Franky, he tried his best for us to find our FIRST HOME with some of our considerations. Since both of us work full-time, he made house-tour appointments or meetings (regarding making offers) after work hours. After our offer was accepted, Franky and his team gave sufficient advice regarding everything, such as locking the mortgage, depositing, final walk through, and the settlement! It took only 6 weeks to move into the new home since we started to look at the house to buy. As you can see my name, I am a foreigner and the whole process seemed overwhelming for me. However, Franky helped my husband and I to relieve the stress by communicating with the selling agent and title company. (Oh, I heard that he speaks English as well as Spanish). If my friend who came from foreign country asks me to recommend any agent, I will recommend FRANKY and his team! I am writing this review in my new, cozy room, where I dreamed about since I immigrated here. I can convince that if you work with Franky, you will never regret.

Let me start off by saying that there is no way we would've gotten our dream home if it wasn't for…read moreDave. Flash back a few months, I met Dave at an open house and instantly thought he was awesome. I was working with another realtor at the time and was having no success in the crazy Arlington house market. My boyfriend and I made the difficult and very worth it decision to thank our former realtor for her time and start working with Dave. As soon as we made that decision everything changed. Our first meeting with him was so professional, but still a lot of fun. He asked us a ton of questions about our lifestyle, budget, what we like/don't like etc. He set us up with a search and we went on our way. Just two weeks later a townhome came on the market in Ballston and we were hooked. Dave toured it with us, was super honest about the pros and cons, and let us think on it for a day. This is my first home so I was nervous to write an offer, but I felt super comfortable with Dave's guidance. We made the offer and unfortunately didn't get the place, I was crushed. Thankfully, this is where Dave's network and persistence came into play. He knew the listing agent and stayed in constant contact with her to ensure we were the first ones considered should the buyers back out. Lo and behold, they did, and he quickly turned around a backup offer. They accepted!!! I was ecstatic! I thought Dave was the best at this point, and somehow he got better. His recommendations for lenders were incredible and I got a rate that no one could believe, and the title company he works with made everything seamless. We had a quick close because of the crazy process we went through, but Dave and our title company did everything to ensure we were well taken care of. We closed last week and I can honestly say none of this wouldn't happened without Dave. He's the best realtor, and now someone I call a friend. I can't recommend him enough!

Dave is incredibly knowledgeable about the market and more importantly is always responsive to calls and emails.

We appreciated his guidance throughout the process and he always made us feel like a priority. Would definitely recommend Dave and his team.

She was busy with…read morea family wedding and unavailable for days at a time and did not explain the addendum's she had me sign, costing me an extra half of a percent in commission. Additionally she left the country during the sale of the house and never told me that she was thousands of miles away for the closing. She said she had "other commitments and would be available by phone for the closing"! In fact, she was in a time zone seven hours ahead of Eastern Time and not readily available at all. She left Dan Metcalf in charge and if I called him, he would tell me that he wasn't the listing broker. The pièce de resistance was him leaving a message with the Title Closing Officer that I "wasn't nice" I have a photo of the message if anyone wants to contact me privately to see it. These people were supposed to be representing me! I had some questions the night before closing and instead of speaking to me, Judi & Tamar responded by threatening me with legal action accusing me of being in breach of contract if I didn't go to the closing in the morning. Gali, the supposed owner, left me a text message or email while I was driving to the closing asking if I was going to the closing and if she should come. I saw it when I arrived at the closing. I responded immediately that I was at the closing. She called a little while later screaming at me that her time was valuable and did I want her to come from Takoma Park to Rockville. I said I did. By the time she arrived the closing was finishing up. She did not say one word to me and no one from this group got in touch to even offer congratulations on the sale of the home. I strongly suggest that you look elsewhere for an agent. They are only interested in cashing your check

This is our second very positive experience with the Finn Family Group. Should we have future real estate needs in the Washington, D.C. area we will not hesitate to engage their services again.

His efficiency in his work led us to closing in just a few weeks after we began our search! We value responsiveness, knowledge, ease of interaction and completeness in task when working with anyone, and Jason embodies all characteristics. The group's use of technology was also exciting and unexpected. Their website's interface was clean and easy to use on my mobile devices. Very little to no paper exchanges were made, everything was completed digitally. And we continue to enjoy reading about Bethesda/Chevy Chase's real estate community on the group's blog. Jason is also in-the-know regarding DC's food scene. If you're a foodie in the real estate market, he's your guy.

So after 2 years of sharing an apartment together and getting married, my wife and I began the hunt for our first home and selected Gretchen and the Koitz group as our Realtors. There is not one bad thing we could say about the process we went through buying our first house with them. Never pushy, Gretchen and her staff believe strongly in educating the buyer to empower them to make an informed decision. They are so incredibly friendly and knowledgeable in both about the area and in the process and all of the details that everything went smooth as silk. They listened well to what we were looking for and continually brought interesting and appealing opportunities to us. Even when we had issues with one house vs another (which always come up, it's just part of finding the perfect house for yourself), they were always understanding, attentive, and diligent so as to then come back to us with new suggestions that incorporated our feedback. This past January we celebrated our 3 year anniversary of buying our first home. We fell in love the first time we walked through it, and have been in love with it since the day we got the keys. We owe many thanks to Gretchen and her amazing team. We now see why our friend trusts Gretchen so much, and we certainly plan on using her again in the future for any of our real estate needs.
