It would be impossible to describe how POSITIVE of an experience it was to work with Laura!…read moreEverything went soooooo smoothly from start to finish and Laura was that driver for us! She always made us feel like her #1 priority even though we knew she was busy with other clients: she made time for us on-a-dime, was always present, on-time or early, and was incredible good at scheduling around all of our busy schedules. Laura is an AMAZING communicator: was quick and responsive and always provided us with thorough details and explanations. Laura provided us (first-time home buyers) with an incredible wealth of knowledge and advice when we requested and had great insights. She also has an extensive personal network that helped us start our lender search, find a day-of home inspector, and contractors to help us get started on our new-home projects. She understood our home buying strategy, and helped us get our dream house on our FIRST offer! Her advice and guidance was instrumental in us landing the house we had our hearts set on! We will work with Laura again for any future home purchase. I would recommend Laura to any and EVERYONE!

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!

As first time homebuyers, my wife and I were very impressed with her work. She was able to walk us through the entire process and make sure we were on top of everything. She was also proactive in finding potential places for us and was always available for a call or to drop by a condo with us. Finally, she was able to recommend third parties to help with things like home inspections, moving, painting, and handywork (we didn't end up using all her recommendations but they were all good). We definitely recommend her to anyone, but especially first time homebuyers.

I had never sold real estate before, this was an inheritance, so she took full advantage by contacting "her" buyer, selling my property for at least $20,000 less than it should have been sold for. I should have reported her but I didn't realize at the time that representing the buyer and the seller for such an incredibly cheap price was actionable! After speaking to HONEST real estate agents, I realized that doing what she did was unconscionable and illegal. You get in the way of her BOTOX injections and she will screw you completely. Her face twitches and convulses from the overdose of BOTOX and it's pretty gross to sit across from her! What a cheat and liar she is! Unbelievable.

Bottom line: BEWARE & AVOID…read more Imagine working with a listing agent that haphazardly chooses not to present an offer to their client, as a seller. No way, right?! Wrong. 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. Bonus: check out another review the group had removed to hide their poor performance.

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.

I could not recommend a realtor more than Betsy and her group as hey have guided my husband and I through this whole process with poise and ease! The professional photographs that she arranged along with the description of our home made it a breeze to sell! Trust Betsy with your next home sale!! I promise you will not be disappointed!!

My wife and I have worked with Betsy and her team over a period of 20 years now across 6 different…read moretransactions. First a rental when we were just getting married, our first home (buy and sell), our forever home (buy) and a vacation property as a getaway during COVID (buy and sell). Across this we experienced buyers' markets, sellers' markets, some truly wonderful buyers and sellers, and one difficult seller going through a hard time. Through it all, there was never a time that my wife or I could ever imagine a better shepherd to lead us through the difficult and convoluted process of home sales. She is truly a pros pro in every regard - examining the market, pricing the home, staging the home, negotiating a final price, and then the complex and legal process of closing. She is with you all the way guiding you and ensuring you find the right home for your family, negotiate the best price, employ proper risk mitigation steps during the contractual phase in regard to the home inspection and evaluation, and even address the occasional hiccup that occurs post purchase. She takes the stress out of the process by shouldering it for you. On our two home sales as an example, with Betsy guiding us we had multiple strong offers, WELL above asking, before buyers had even had a chance to get in and look at the home in person. It was all through the pre-marketing work she and her team do so well. I can't recommend Betsy strongly enough and wouldn't engage in a real estate transaction with any other agent.

I recently purchased my first condo in Washington DC, I didn't know a thing about buying a property…read morewhen I started. My realtor's name was Jennifir Bobsein, she came highly recommended from a friend and wow did she make a difference. Luckily Jennifir is licensed in both VA and DC so I wasn't limited in my selection. I choose to look more closely at DC. From the very beginning, Jennifir worked tirelessly to ensure that not only did I see as many properties within my criteria as possible, but also that I would not pay over fair market value. When I finally did place an offer, Jennifir spent all the time needed to go over every piece of paper and why it was important. I had no idea there were so much paperwork involved in the process, but Jennifir made it all very easy to understand and very clear. (I actually didn't have a single question of the lawyer at closing b/c Jennifir had explained everything to me so well.) Even after the offer was accepted, Jennifir checked on the property numerous times, on her own, to ensure the inspection and all the mandatory fixes were completed to satisfaction. I have a very demanding work schedule and could not make it to everything. I cannot recommend Jennifir Bobsein enough, I will surely send everyone I know who is looking to purchase a home in her direction. She is professional, knowledgable and exceptionally nice/attentive to your needs. Jennifir's number at Weichert is (703) 835-1256, you can also google her name and get her personal page on Weichert's website.

I just sold my home through Weichert and would not use them again. If I could do over, since I was…read moreselling in Old Town, I would use McEnearny instead. I interviewed several agents and used this Weichert agent because she was listed in the Washingtonian as one of the top 100. The agent provided no guidance on pricing my home, basically left it up to me, once the home was on the market she had minimal contact with me and failed to return calls, when I texted or emailed she would say that she would call later and did not, she complained about her other clients when we did communicate (which makes me wonder what she was saying about me), she remove my listing after I received one low offer within 24 hours of reducing my price, eliminating the opportunity to receive additional offers. In full disclosure, the reduction was my action, not hers but she did not provide any professional advice on the price change. After stating multiple times that I would out of the country on the settlement date, two days before settlement she asked if I would be at the closing, after I had already signed the settlement documents earlier in the week. She never even communicated that the closing had actually taken place, even though I was not present. I actually had to reach out to her and ask! I have bought/sold six houses and this was by far the worst service I have ever received. Overall service was poor, full of drama with every communication (from another client being threatened with a gun to her daughter's Louis Vitton handbag being stolen). As the client I was never her priority. Worst $60,000+ I ever spent.

We worked with Sue Kovalsky to buy a home in the Alexandria, VA area after a referral from a…read morefriend. We met Sue in February 2017 - she came to our rental, also in Alexandria - and we hit it off right away. We warned her we were picky - our goal was to be in something by the end of the year. She didn't seem fazed in the least. Over the next 8 months, we looked at no fewer than 60 properties. We even had some interesting feng shui requirements that crept in over time from our parents - again, Sue wasn't phased in the least. She was consistently positive, forthright, friendly, and very, very responsive. Sue is also very knowledgeable about homes in this area. We never once got the feeling she was pushing us in a certain direction to make a sale. When we finally found "our" home, everything seemed to just fall into place. Until we ran into a title issue, that is. Long story short, it was nothing short of a miracle that we got it resolved in time to close before losing our mortgage rate lock. What we realized in hindsight is that Sue comes with a great team - everyone she recommended (lenders, inspectors, title companies, etc.) was extremely easy to work with and competent. Even when things got a little stressful at the end, Sue remained positive and responsive, and wasn't afraid to let us know when something was outside her area of expertise. We had such a great experience working with Sue and would recommend her to anyone buying in the area!
