If you are buying a house, or even thinking about buying a house, start with Jeff. He'll tell you…read morewhat finances and paperwork you need to get done, when, and in what order. He will be honest with you throughout -- always direct and never smarmy. He will return every call and text. He will help you understand the whole process, even the stuff you didn't know that you didn't know. He'll send you matches through the app and respond to your comments so when you are finally ready, he knows what you're looking for. Jeff will take you to see houses and will teach you about looking for water in the basement, checking out drainage and the foundation, warning signs and potential 'challenges', as well as being able to answer your questions about septic vs cesspool, how much electric you really need, sussing out if there is gas on the street (for a later stove conversion), and telling you how old the roof is just by looking at it. And any other questions you might have! If he doesn't know the answer, he will find out. He is so thorough and eagle-eyed that you can get excited about the hardwood floors and eat-in kitchen, knowing that Jeff will spot EVERYthing you need to be aware of. He's also really personable which helps when you're spending entire weekend days with someone. We had one crushing disappointment along the way -- not his fault -- and Jeff's straightforward "Okay, that's in the past, let's move forward" attitude was key in getting us right back out there (and we found our house THAT weekend.) He will guide you through the entire process, through closing, and make you feel -- the whole time -- pretty much like you are his only client. Once you close, and you need an electrician, a floors guy, a painter, whatever, Jeff 'has a guy' and if he doesn't, he won't quit until he finds you someone. We would use Jeff again in a second and wholeheartedly recommend him!

Donna is an excellent Real Estate Agent. When we first met she had just finished taking several…read moreContinuous Professional Education courses on negotiating and influencing. This, from a business professional with 35 years' experience. If you want a typical, average agent who runs the sales game plan, Donna is NOT for you. She's a differentiated agent who's strategic and tactical abilities get results. We partnered as the market changed and as we actively moved our price down. The number of buyers decreased but were better suited and eventually we found the right buyers with her; young, upwardly mobile, local with a growing family. You want a thinking persons' agent? Partner with Donna.

I lived at Avalon Pines in Coram for a year. Avalon Bay owns/manages them. It's really a shame to…read morehave to say this, because apparently they're one of the best property management companies in the nation but: 1) they didn't enforce pet restrictions on my neighbors 2) they lost my rent check one month and then threatened to evict me 3) they took forever with repairs 4) they never hooked up the utilities properly, so we ended up paying tons of money in extra fees 5) after we got the whole rent thing straightened out they barely apologized. 6) the office staff is frequently unprofessional and closes the office early to go to happy hour. Don't live here. The complexes look pretty but are very cheaply built. For a lot of the housing in this region, if you're looking for a cheap apartment, you might actually do better living in someone's basement.

I have lived at Avalon Crescent apartments in McLean, VA for 3 years now…read more Things that I disklike: 1) Every single year they have raised our rent . Last year they raised it by $200 a month. Now they are raising it again by $200 a month. Why that's probably because of demand right? Nope! They have over 20 vacant apartments. They raise your rent thinking you won't want to deal with another move, thinking you'll just suck it up... Which we did for 3 years but we are done with this insanity. 2) Repairs... my A/C breaks at the beginning of every summer and a few times during. It still doesn't run correctly. My heat breaks before every winter. My hot water... don't get me started. 3) The amenities. Like most people I work all day and I'm home in the evenings. They raise the basketball hoop in the gym when they go home so "unwanted" people who have been sneaking in don't play on it. Well what about me? The guy who pays for this? The pool is a joke. It is a shallow pool with nothing to do. I have more fun in my bathtub than this pool. 4) Packages that get delivered to the front office, I have NEVER once been notified that I have a package. Good thing I keep stopping by to check. 5) Gate access. Broken at random times. Vehicles block the keyfob readers so you have to wait until they get out of the way or until you get sick of waiting and get out of your car and walk up to the reader (fun to do this in the rain by the way). OR you can simply pay $75 (non-refundable) for the "remote" keyfob. 6) My neighbor screaming at his girlfriend at random times in the middle of the night. I keep waiting for gunshots. Seriously. I haven't seen him in over a month so I think he finally moved his butt out or she threw him out. Whichever, I don't care. I finally sleep better. Oh wait, no I don't. Thanks to of all the construction across the street that started last year. 7) The yapping dog on the second floor. Really? No one has complained about this dog who barks on a never ending loop? I'm beginning to think it's a joke and someone has it on iTunes and it's on repeat 24/7. 8) The neighbors who don't clean up after their dogs in the common areas. Or that entire peach that sat on the stairwell for 2 weeks until it become a bio-hazard and the government had to step in and tell Avalon to get it cleaned up. (I'm exaggerating about the government part) Things that I like: 1) I like that I am leaving.

Stay away from them! Dishonest real estate brokers. We have dealt with Pavan Johar of Lynda Baker…read moreRealty. We will seek legal costs reimbursements from him. Many times he prefers calling because there are certain things he doesn't want in writing, just so he can deny them later. My boyfriend and I put an offer down for an apartment at lower than asking price. While we understand the seller have the right to accept our offer or no, the broker communicated with us that our offer was accepted. he continued to have open houses for the property. When we asked him what would happen if he got higher offers, he said that as long as we proceeded in good faith, we'd still be first in line. We hired a lawyer who spend a considerable number of hours doing diligence. When the contract was almost ready, the broker called us and told us that we either up or offer or we get dropped. Classic switch and bait! He could have told us the seller would like to consider other offers before accepting ours, instead of rushing to accept and then backing out, having us incur the legal fees. So this is a preview of what's expected of them if you work with them.

When my husband and I met Lora we quickly noticed how knowledgeable, professional, and authentic…read moreshe was. Throughout every step of the process, she was there to guide us and educate us. Her quick response time to any and every question we had is proof of her relentless work ethic and dedication to her clients. One small example of this was when she had hip surgery and was still showing us homes on crutches!! From the moment we met her up until our closing, we felt confident that we had someone advocating for our best interest. We have already recommended her to several of our friends and will continue to recommend her without reservation. On a personal and professional level, she is wonderful beyond words. Lora, thank you for making what seemed, at some points, to be an impossible feat, a reality! We are forever grateful. From the bottom of our hearts, Kathy and Anthony

My husband and I just recently closed on a home in Nassau County, and worked with Safia from Lux…read moreHouse Hunters. She was incredible to work with. We are first time home buyers with no experience with home buying. She led us through the entire way, answered all our questions, and when things became confusing, I always knew all I had to do was text Safia, and she would sort things out. She was always available via text or phone call, and her positive and upbeat attitude was very much appreciated. It was nice to have someone you could count on, since both of us work full time jobs, without a lot of time to devote to the whole process. You could really tell she cared about her work and her clients, always with our best interest in mind. I would recommend her again in a heartbeat to anyone looking to purchase a home. In some ways, now that we have closed and are moving in, I feel sad that we won't be in as much contact anymore, that's how great a person she is!
