My boyfriend and I recently used the Wethman Group, and specifically Alli Collier, to purchase our…read morefirst home. We loved using them. They provided a seminar for first time homebuyers, and Alli was great at answering all our questions throughout the process. She was incredibly responsive, had great schedule availability, and made us feel like she was also invested in our homeownership. She grew to understand and remember our property likes and dislikes. Wethman Group also offers a lot of perks for their clients; they hold client appreciation events, and offer complimentary equipment rental for your new home (power-washers, moving van, etc). We highly recommend them for first time homebuyers!

Katie Wethman sold a house for us and helped us buy another. Katie is brilliant, incredibly…read moreknowledgeable, does her homework, and is a terrific person. I'm an economist and have been frustrated in the past that realtors (and others who should understand) don't have a basic understanding of markets and finance. Katie is analytical and bases everything she says on facts and evidence. No bullshit or hand-waving! I loved knowing that she knows so much more about finance than I do. Both the sale and purchase were challenging. Katie helped us resolve the difficulties. The sale was complicated by the fact that there was an open lien on our property. A bank had failed to record a home equity line of credit held by a previous owner as closed. A previous title search had missed this and I foolishly did not have title insurance. The title company offered to solve the problem for $10,000. Katie did a lot of spade work and got the bank to record the lien as satisfied, saving me the money and saving the sale. The purchasers were also difficult and Katie gave us great advice about dealing with them and the sale closed on time. Our subsequent home purchase was also complicated bv the fact that the sellers wanted to do a sale by owner, which effectively made Katie the agent for both seller and buyer (although only compensated by me as my buyer's broker). She again provided infallible advice when issues arose and also gently steered the sellers through all of the many problems they thought they'd surfaced. I'd recommend Katie Wethman and the Wethman Group to anyone buying or selling a home.

My search for a home in DC was a long and complicated one. I was a first time home buyer with very…read morespecific needs, a family who was very involved in the process, a unique financial situation, a definitive time-frame where purchase would need to be completed by, and a very tough schedule to visit properties. I was referred to Maria Fernandez, interestingly enough, through my first real estate agent (who was making career changes). At this point, I had all but given up on finding a property for purchase in DC and was going to settle on renting for the remainder of the time that I was going to live here. However, I found Maria to be extremely knowledge (both of the city and of the market), friendly, patient, and above all honest. She was able to unravel the extremely complex and convoluted path to purchasing a home in DC while working with a myself, with a very difficult work schedule, and my family who are located a few hours away. With every property we visited, she was able to give a thorough summary of the highlights and possible shortcomings of the property. She was honest when she did not have the information I asked for and was timely in response when she found my answer. When working with Maria, it does not feel like she is trying to sell you a property, it feels like she is trying to help you find your future home. Whether it was last minute calls to see a property, or when I was late to a showing due to work constraints, she always met me with a friendly demeanor and understanding. As a first time home buyer and a transplant to DC, I cannot imagine a better first agent with whom to make a purchase of a home.

We had the pleasure to work with one of the REALTORs ( Christina Brown ), the experience was…read moreamazing. From the very 1st day we met her she started taking notes of our needs & wants. She made it her priority to keep in touch with us on a regular with new properties that popped up on the market that fit our list and were around our budget. If I could give her a 10+ star instead of 5, i would, she did an excellent job.

She communicated well, was very efficient, and made a point of documenting what was going on throughout the process. Our house was under contract after just five days on the market. From there, the transaction was very smooth and we didn't run into any problems. Carolyn kept us informed and handled everything very thoroughly. Selling a home involves a lot of details, so having a realtor who communicated well and documented what was happening was important to us. Carolyn was an awesome realtor, and we had a very good experience working with her on the sale of our home.

Ibi and Fred make a great realty team, and they are even better people. After experiencing how…read morepleasant Ibi was to work with on the buying side in Rockville - and how knowledgeable she was about her profession, Montgomery County, local contractors, area restaurants, etc. - we asked Ibi to help us sell our Rockville home a few years later. She worked the market during the weeks before we went live, and we sold for over-asking on Day 1. When we moved back to Maryland, Ibi and Fred helped us find a great deal in a desirable neighborhood in Gaithersburg. They again helped us find contractors for various repairs and met up with us for lunches to make sure we were settling in. During COVID-19, we decided we needed to find a different home with more of a yard and home office space. We could not afford what we wanted closer in to DC, so Ibi and Fred helped us scour the marker across Montgomery, Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, and Anne Arundel Counties. We finally found our gem north of Annapolis, and won it in a hot market under asking, while selling our Gaithersburg home again on Day 1 for over asking. Ibi and Fed have come out to visit us by the Bay to check in and have been learning the market on this side of the state. They're great to work with, and now great friends, too.

After the first experience we knew we'd never have to look anywhere else for our real estate needs. The first two transactions were home sales. With their creative sales strategies, we received top dollar offers in just a matter of days on both properties. The third experience proved to be more challenging requiring all the knowledge and experience only a 20+ year seasoned professional team can offer. With all the ups and downs of a hot seller's market they were able to navigate the real estate landscape and find our ideal retirement home. At each step along the way they kept us informed and updated. Their work ethic, persistence and positive attitude were amazing. I can honestly say that this deal would not have happened without Ibi and Fred leading the way. We recommend them without hesitation to friends, family and neighbors. Jim and Kathy Ruth

From…read morestart to finish, he was involved in every aspect of the closing process, ensuring that nothing was overlooked. His professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. Bogdan was incredibly thorough, always taking the time to answer our questions and explain each step. He was also flexible and accommodating with our schedule - we were in town only three days each week, which made coordinating everything much easier. In addition, our search parameters changed; Bogdan pivoted immediately and had us in properties fitting the new parameters within hours. On top of that, he's just a genuinely friendly person--easy to talk to and truly invested in helping his clients. We're grateful for his support and highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate.

He actually also helped my husband buy a place prior to us getting married and I was so impressed with his professionalism and willingness to help things get to a satisfactory conclusion I told my then boyfriend at the time that when the time came for me to sell my place I'd gladly list with Chris. He was very thorough in walking us through the process of getting our home ready to put on the market, and even when there were a few minor challenges he worked to get things moving. Working with my husband as we used the proceeds of the sale of my place to buy a place jointly with my husband he was terrific in helping make sure all of the back end pieces were moving and we were able to close on our place as scheduled. Chris was always available to answer questions to. It might be a while before we buy another place but without a doubt, if I'm in the market again I wouldn't hesitate to call on Chris.
