He really listened to me to find out what I was looking for and what was most important to me in a home.

Plus, he was super fun to be around - I really couldn't have asked for anything more. I feel so lucky to have found such a great real estate agent for my first time buying process!

I am very pleased with the final sales price and again, took their advice on everything and how to negotiate the best deal. I worked closely with Wendy on everything and she was a true gem.

I know a lot of people say this but rarely do I write reviews--good or bad. My belief is that I…read moreshow my support for a business by continuing to be a patron. Conversely, I stop being a patron to those businesses that failed to meet my expectations. All this to say, I usually don't write reviews. But in this case, things are a bit different and a review is warranted. Let me start off by saying that I am not easy to please and I have exceptionally high standards of anyone I hire and/or work with. With that being said, I don't mind paying a premium to ensure that my standards are met. I'm type A and then some. I say this not to be arrogant but to set the perspective of what I'm about to tell you about Samer Naji. Samer Naji is a brilliant real estate expert. His professionalism is equaled only to his keen negation skills--which are nothing less than impressive. From the first meeting and his handbook that lays out his processes and explanations of market trends to his knowledge of all things real estate, it is evident that Samer takes pride in his work. Even more, the professionals that Samer works with and recommends (ie lenders, title agencies) are just as impressive! Like attracts like and it is evident that Samer attracts the crème de la crème of everyone in the business because he truly is that good. Samer did such a good job in helping us that he inadvertently lost a patron--bc Samer helped us find our dream home in our dream neighborhood in a market where every realtor told us it was impossible. Hence the review. Samer, you deserve all the success that comes your way! Thank you for everything!

We highly recommend Samer Naji as a realtor in the DMV area. We searched on and off for a…read moresingle-family home in Northern Virginia for about 18 months before we "got serious" and enlisted Samer's help. While we had casual conversations with other realtors during open houses, they generally gave us more unsolicited advice rather than listen to what we were looking for. Samer's process started by having us fill out a detailed questionnaire, which helped us prioritize what we were looking for. During our search, we typically referred back to these preferences as we saw them in different properties, and this really helped us realize what was most important for us in a home. Our journey with Samer lasted a little over three months and he visited more than 20 properties with us as well as provided feedback and visited others on our behalf. In this highly competitive market, Samer's willingness and ability to show us properties immediately after they were listed was key to us putting together competitive and timely offers on the most desirable properties. Although we did not go under contract for the first two properties we put bids on, in both cases Samer neither pushed nor advised us to extend beyond our budget. Furthermore, he spent quality time going over our offers and revisiting our priorities after for each house. Samer did a good job of translating and bridging our preferences and helping us view properties that we both liked. Samer had a good eye for quality construction and potential money pits including houses with roofing, siding, grading, and window issues. These are just a few of the items he evaluated as we looked at properties. Samer developed constructive relationships with the other realtors, and he helped us craft competitive bids that weren't necessarily the highest dollar amount. In fact, we did not have the highest bid on the house we finally purchased. In an environment where buyers are waiving appraisals and home inspections, Samer's ability to help craft an offer that did not drop either of those contingencies, yet still be competitive, was invaluable. Samer has a professional network of financing, inspection, settlement, and professionals in the trade industry that helped us finalize and close the deal on time. During the last month, Samer kept in constant communication with us, the seller's realtor, the settlement agent, and our financing people. We cannot thank Samer enough for helping us find our dream home at a fair price in this highly competitive market. We recommend him without hesitation to represent the buyer or seller in any real estate transaction. Joe Benham and Almas Abbas

If all the lawyers and bankers involved in my transaction had been working with Cindy's level of competence, this process would have been a breeze.

3/24/20 Driving by this area on a daily basis, I had begun…read moreto wonder where this park leads to? I got my answers this past this past Saturday when my wife and I went on a speed walk around the Lakeford Community Association area. The housing sits near a manmade pond with the sounds of wild life all around it. The path we found started by the tennis courts and heads to the dam where the sidewalk ends.  I was disappointed because I wanted to walk along the creek and venture deeper into the forrest, but that wasn't an option. However, the sounds of a waterfall was refreshing.   I also enjoyed watching the family of ducks swim under water for food.  How they see in what looked like dark waters is beyond me.  I could look this up, but right now I like not knowing and enjoying the moment.  There is a second part of this pond that continues under Fairview Drive and it is a much smaller walk. I did not enjoy this section as much as the larger side of the pond.  Maybe it's the view, the bridges and the tennis courts that caught my eye. Maybe there was more wildlife to see than the other side of the pond, but it is worth checking out.   We also checked out Parkland pathway, but this just leads to more townhouses and not much else to see. Unless you have your water boots on and go walking up the creek. If your feeling very brave, walk into the tunnels and explore under the roads. All in all, I found this walk near the lake to be a fun way to spend some of the day in this new year of the Coronavirus.  People were out and about, but were keeping their distances. The new term for this year will be Social Distancing.   Two words that were never meant to be used together.  The movie Demolition Man comes to mind. There is a scene  where to cops (Rob Schneider and Benjamin Bratt) rub hands without touching each other.  Then my mind goes to what Sandra Bullock said about human contact. "Rampant exchange of bodily fluids was one of the major reasons of the downfall of the society. After AIDS, there was NRS, after NRS, there was UBT. One of the first things Dr. Cocteau was able to do was outlaw...and behaviorally engineer all fluid transfer out of socially acceptable behavior...." Yes!, this means NO KISSING....I am really getting away from my topic.  Lakeford area gave me the idea of living in an area like this. The thought is amusing, but I know my wife wouldn't want that. Not at this time anyways. I will most likely walk this way again and see this beautiful landscape again. This area is very peaceful.
