On the second day of my trip down from Massachusetts, I stopped into Coldwell Banker Elite to see if they could help me. Cori was working the desk that day and after explaining my situation, she immediately introduced me to the office manager. Within a very short time, I started working with Sarah Keddie and Cori Cheeks to find my new home. Being an out of state buyer had many challenges and Cori's local knowledge, expertise in the home buying process, responsiveness to my sometimes hectic travel schedule, a genuine understanding of my needs and friendly manner put me totally at ease through this process... through many different trips to the area, home showings, offers and a final acceptance Cori helped me in every step of the process. Cori cares about her clients and their wants and needs and will give an honest opinion to any questions asked. I highly recommend Cori for any realty needs."

From day one, he truly listened to our needs and gave thoughtful recommendations about what would be a good long-term investment versus what might end up being a money pit. He wasn't the type to push for a quick sale--in fact, he pointed out property damage and issues we might've missed on our own, which really built our trust. He stood out among all the other real estate agents we attempted working with. Thanks to his guidance and expertise, we ended up getting our top-choice home in just eight days! The process was seamless from start to finish. Even recently, when we needed to relocate, Peter offered to help us find renters and has continued to be supportive. We'll absolutely be working with him again when it's time to sell. As first time home buyers, we felt we got amazing value for the services provided. Highly recommend Peter and the Red Cedar Real Estate team for anyone looking for a knowledgeable, genuine, and reliable agent.

The best way to describe Peter and Red Cedar is high touch, white glove - concierge service. Peter knew the market and had a powerful team of equally adept realty professionals. Nothing happened without Peter's knowledge and he always focused on what was best for us: Initially meeting through closing. Here's where the professionalism goes to another level - Peter builds relationships with his clients, throws mixers, and checked up on us a couple of times per year. And, he DIDN'T ASK US FOR THE NEXT DEAL each time he subtly checked in on us over 5 years! He and his team cares about you - long term not just to get a sale. After 5 years of relationship building, we called Peter and the Red Cedar team for support. He came over. We completed representation paperwork, his AMAZING 360 degree Ariel and interior video/photography genius turned up and transformed our house into a buyer's beacon that sold our home within 24-48 hours of posting - FULL PRICE OFFER!!!! This is Red Cedar - all day long. After getting an offer, Peter and his team coordinate every document, appointment, and follow-up like a well oiled machine. The signing appointment was completely painless without any hiccups in the paperwork or payout - again, Peter and Red Cedar are professionals and the service providers (Ex. Title Company) were exceptional too. Thanks Peter and Red Cedar for your exemplary support, education, and caring over 5 years!

Philippa is wonderful and the best realtor I have ever dealt with. I needed someone familiar with…read moretrusts and successor trustees and she met all the criteria. She had a superb "selling your home guide" that had her personal experience as well as how the home would be marketed and including tips on moving. She started with numerous open houses and provided feedback on those as well as on individual appointments. The real good news on all that was the feedback she provided from buyer's realtors which enabled real time adjustments as needed. Her communication throughout the entire process was flawless and timely. And her responsiveness to my numerous inquiries was almost immediate. Would highly recommend her to everyone selling a house in Falls Church or Northern Virginia. You will not be disappointed and you will be thankful you hired her!

She assisted my brother and me with the sale of our parents' home in April 2022. I have worked with many real estate professionals on several transactions over the years and can say with confidence that Philippa is one of the best I have ever used. Philippa has the qualities that make her an extremely successful and effective agent. We found her extremely knowledgeable and well-attuned to the super fast-changing market of early 2022. She was always attentive to our concerns and very responsive to questions, often responding immediately no matter the time. She showed great attention to detail enabling the sale to be made in less than a week. Our mother had recently passed away and we were raw with grief. Furthermore, we live in California, so it was even more important that we could rely on someone like Philippa to take the reins from beginning to end and that is exactly what she did. She was able to interpret and solve all the questions pertaining to our mother's Trust without the need for outside lawyers, and this was a great convenience to us. We also feel that we got the highest price possible for the house based on her pricing strategy and advice. Philippa exceeded our expectations in every way. The sale went very smoothly and we closed on time. I would not hesitate to recommend Philippa to anyone in need of a listing agent or for the purchase of a home. We interviewed three other agents before deciding on Philippa and she did not disappoint. Every detail was perfect, from the fantastic professional photos, the listing description, to the impeccable transactional aspects leading to the close of escrow. In a nutshell, she is a top tier professional, intelligent, tenacious, fun and talkative, bright and conscientious. If you need an agent/broker then hire Philippa Main. You won't be disappointed.

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 had the pleasure of working with Amy during the spring of 2016. I entered the home buying…read moreprocess knowing what I wanted, generally, in terms of environmental factors, but with no specific physical criteria in mind. I was not settled on a single family home versus a townhome, nor was I really married to any particular geographic region, architecture, style or type of neighborhood. I wanted to "see it all" which required Amy do to a bit of weeding and sorting on my dreams in order to figure out what I truly wanted and needed. Taking what little I offered her (which was not only ill defined but subject to change based up on mood, diet and a possible lack of sunlight), Amy worked diligently to get at my true drivers and, therefore what properties would be most appropriate for me. Some of this spade work required her to indulge my desire to look at some pretty far-flung properties, but Amy used this time to effectively educate me on what items would become important to my search, selection and, ultimately, my overall satisfaction. Amy took my feedback and began to deftly draw the funnel down towards properties that would be good potential fits for me. She took the time to really listen and engage with me in the process of finding what turned out to be a great home! Amy also worked tirelessly through the closing process, making sure I was well served and expertly represented right up to settlement. I love my new home and owe it all to Amy's great persistence, professionalism and dedication!

We worked closely with Amy Webb and Kelly Ceppa and highly recommend their services. Amy came recommended by a friend who had a wonderful experience. We reached out to Amy and fell in love instantly. She was detail oriented, supportive, and thoughtful from the start. We discussed our goals via phone then met shortly after in-person. She took us on a tour of local neighborhoods. It is a unique experience to have a tour of the neighborhoods by someone who knows the area so intimately. Amy was able to tell us the long-standing histories of the areas and describe the personalities of the neighborhoods. As we began seeing houses Amy helped guide us in determining what features were "must haves" and which were "nice to haves." Each house we saw brought us closer to our dream home as Amy learned our personalities and likes/dislikes. Viewing houses with Amy was a pleasurable experience. She helped us form pros and cons for each house. Not once did we feel pressured. Soon enough, Amy reached out with a house coming on the market that checked all our boxes. Amy was unable to accompany us to the viewing of this home, but just as she had promised beforehand, her colleague and team member Kelly knew all our goals and wishes. Similarly, Kelly was incredibly detail oriented, supportive, and thoughtful right away. With Kelly's assistance and guidance, we put in an offer that was accepted. Kelly was attentive throughout the entire process, easily reachable with any questions, and always pleasant. She helped organize everything needed to reach closing and navigated unexpected & unpredictable events with ease. She accompanied us during the home inspection, final walk through, and the signing of the closing documents. It was incredibly helpful having her well-trained eyes and excellent knowledge at each of these steps along the way. Kelly even had housewarming gifts waiting for us as we walked into our new home. Amy and Kelly felt like family during the process and have kept in touch with us even after closing to help us navigate new home ownership. They are both incredibly professional, responsive, and went out of their way to be advocates for us as buyers. Amy and Kelly truly made purchasing our first home a beautiful memory. We will be sticking with their services long term - I cannot recommend the Front Porch Team highly enough!

She sent me weekly lists of available properties as well as set up many viewings, during a 4 month period. She knew I had found MY HOME before I knew. When I asked her could we revisit the property for a 2nd time she just smiled and said "of course". I've gone through the home buying process a few times being prior military and she was by far my most pleasant realtor interaction. When it's all said and done and my time comes to an end in VA, I will definitely be calling on Nicole for her expertise in the selling process.

I…read morehave mentioned to Nicole we wanted to get out of Woodbridge when my parents moved into our 3000sqf home with no entrance through basement. With all the quarantine happening, there was a lot of arguing happens a lot between the 4 of us. We decided that we wanted to move in a place that is bigger so we all could have our own space. My top 3 requirements for Nicole was laundry upstairs, tons of kitchen cabinets and a pool; as for my husband he wanted at least 2 car garage, no hoa, 1acre+; as for my parents, 2 bedroom in the basement, kitchen space and a full bathroom. That is a lot of requirements from 4 people but that didn't phase her. She found us a gorgeous home with everything listed above & then some. Nicole has worked above and beyond to get us in this house and we could not be happier. Her laugh is contagious and she made house hunting so much more fun. She is very professional throughout the entire process, she's a good listener even small details that mentioned she has take notes. She has us in the new house and out of the old one and sold in approximately 1 month. This woman is phenomenal, I tell you! Every little thing that needed to be done to have our old home she took care of. Even months after moving in, she still help us out with any problem or questions regarding our new home. I can't thank her enough that she is now putting us on a 3+ acres estate with no HOA and a gigantic pool. Five stars time a million!!!!!

We strongly recommend Dawn and her services. She's definitely a gem of a realtor!

I've had the pleasure of using Dawn for both buying and selling a home and I could not recommend…read moreher more. We first used Dawn 15 years ago when we were first time home buyers. Dawn was recommended because my wife and I were a little indecisive and could not decide between Virginia and Maryland. Since she's licensed in both Virginia and Maryland, she was able to show us houses in both states; she must have shown us 50 houses. Once we found our home, Dawn guided us through the entire process from bidding through closing. Dawn patiently explained every form we signed and every step and every option we had until we closed on the house. We could not have asked for a better teacher than Dawn for our first home buying experience. Later, we finally were ready to move up to a bigger home and Dawn again came through for us. We found a house we liked and asked Dawn to help us buy it. Offers were required quickly and Dawn immediately found us a mortgage specialist who could get us a pre-approval letter for the offer. We had a weekend and Dawn was able to put together the winning offer on the house that weekend. After we moved, it was time to sell our old townhouse and we were blown away with Dawn's expertise in selling. We hadn't updated the house at all and we were behind on maintenance, but Dawn helped us put together a plan to get the best price for our house. She created a list of improvements we could do that were cost effective; picking out all the furnishing and fixtures to maximize our selling price. She found a general contractor to do all the updates and kept us abreast of their progress. She also guided us through Compass Concierge so we didn't have to pay immediately for any of the improvements. After construction was done, she helped us find cleaners to clean the house and a staging company to stage the house. The house was completely unrecognizable; it looked like something out of HGTV. We sold within a weekend, 25K over our asking price. We were so pleased that we also recommended her to my parents to sell my grandfather's house. She worked her magic and transformed the stale 1980's interior into a modern interior. There was a bidding war and my grandfather's house sold for 90K over asking. My aunts and mom cannot stop raving about her. Whether buying or selling a house, I cannot recommend Dawn more.
