I reached out to her, and I was amazed that she responded immediately, even on a Sunday. The first thing I noticed about Robyn was her amazing communication skills; she communicated everything with precision and accuracy. Whenever we had a question, she provided an answer, whether she was in Europe or anywhere else. My first meeting with Robyn was a great experience. I could tell she had extensive experience in the realty industry, and she was easy to work with, never pressuring us into anything. I cannot thank her enough for guiding us through the process of selling our house. She was very easy and amazing to work with. Overall, I highly recommend Robyn as your realtor. My experience was smooth, and I never encountered a single issue. I would describe the process as a walk in the park. Thank you so much, Robyn. You have no idea how much my wife and I appreciate you. You are a blessing from the sky.

Several friends recommended Dawn so when I called her, she was quick to provide detailed information, and gave me insightful recommendations. She even found a contractor for one of the renovations I had been meaning to complete. I was amazed at the amount of time and effort she spent organizing several events at my house and how diligently she managed the sales process. Following Dawn's guidance I sold my home very quickly and well above the asking price! Dawn made the whole experience a breeze and I highly recommend her!

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

I have tried repeatedly to get ahold of the property management to take care of issues with trees that are in the common area and are the responsibility of the HOA. I have called during office hours and no one ever answers the phone.

If I wasn't paying my bill I'm sure they would be getting a hold of me. I can't imagine that I am the only person experiencing this issue with this company.

When I was looking for an apartment last year, I came across a listing with J. Alexander Management…read moreCompany on Craigslist, but sadly couldn't find any reviews of the organization online. For both the benefit of potential renters and to provide praise, as well as what I hope is constructive feedback to the management company, I offer the following on their New Hampshire and First Apartments. The Pros: -Exceptionally reasonable rent, with utilities included. -Tastefully updated unit with important historic details maintained (period-appropriate bathroom tiles, beautifully finished solid-wood parquet floors). -Very responsive and timely support and maintenance team. It was a pleasure every time I spoke with the property manager Arlene who was both incredibly personable as well as professional, even when I was complaining. -Eco conscious water fixtures, toilet and a maintenance team dedicated specifically for water issues (I requested a new shower head when I moved in and was replaced within 24 hours). -While it was not an option until my last month, they now accept credit card payments. This was an amenity I wished for every time I had to find a stamp to mail a rent check. -Very close to the 64 (Ft Totten to Federal Triangle) and 60 (Georgia Avenue Petworth) bus lines, as well as a ten minute walk to the Ft. Totten metro stop (Yellow, Green and Red). I lived here without a vehicle for a year, but would have enjoyed it more if I had one. That said, there was always street parking available in the area every time I had guests with vehicles, or when I was in a rental. The Cons: -No central air conditioning in unit. Because I was not intending to stay, I went without rather than purchasing it out of pocket. I would suggest providing tenants the opportunity to borrow or rent a window unit. -Not a reflection of the management company, but there are no convenient grocery stores. While there is a small bodega grocery a stone's throw away, it is filthy and I only used it in emergency situation. I believe that once further development occurs at Ft Totten Square, this will no longer be an issue. -Again, this is not a reflection of the management company, but it is worth noting for the sake of potential renters. This neighborhood is not rapidly gentrifying like the southern area of Petworth/Park View. With the exception of the cluster of rentals and newly remodeled condo homes at 1st and New Hampshire, the rest of the neighborhood seems to be working class families. While I never perceived any real danger or threats, I did have a couple incidents which were likely a result of me being a more-than-a-little-swishy gay man. -The mail was very, very unreliable. While living there I had most of my mail and all of my packages sent to my work address. In addition to items never showing up, I consistently received packages and letters address to other tenants/building. Additionally, the mailboxes were very small and every letter, postcard or magazine that was delivered to my apartment was severely damaged. Opportunities for Improvement: -The trash area and recycling was a constant issue. While I believe the management company did they best they could, the other tenants maintained no sense of stewardship for either the environment or this shared space. -While it is obvious that they care about the landscaping around the units, hiring a professional for design and installation would have been a wish choice. At the time I moved out in May, the whole front area looked like someone crazy Uncle Greenthumb was set loose. Lovely plants but the haphazard planting was unflattering to the property. -Ventilation in the hallways. The hallway to my apartment would constantly smell like cumin, bacon, musky incense and/or cigarettes. -Consider an upgrade to laundry facilities. One two occasions over the year lease, I experienced issues that seemed to be related to breakers in the laundry room. Both times the issue was fixed within a couple hours, however the first time it occurred I was trying to get out of town and ended up schlepping a giant bag of wet clothes to a nearby laundry mat, rather than waiting for the repair.

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!

I can't say enough about how great Kenneth was as our realtor. I was not the one purchasing, but I…read morewas helping my boyfriend who was looking for his first home to buy in Rockville. Kenneth was INCREDIBLY patient. We went to look at so many properties together, almost every week for 2 months, and we really took our time--and Kenneth never rushed us and was super encouraging. My boyfriend went for 2 properties before he finally got one (third time's a charm right?). This covid market is incredibly hard on buyers during this time, with the best looking properties receiving 10+ offers. Kenneth was very spot on in estimating how much a place would go for, and what it would take to try and beat the other offers--the only reason my boyfriend lost to one, for example, was because my boyfriend just wasn't willing to go any higher, but we found out Kenneth was right (of course) on what it would've taken to win. Kenneth is incredibly responsive and so easy to talk to. We are extreme night owls, and my boyfriend hates checking his email. Kenneth is so easy to reach (we communicated via messenger), and so responsive. And even late at night at 2 AM, my boyfriend felt awful messaging him, but Kenneth was truly okay with it and was still awake, and still responded. I always ask a lot of questions, but my boyfriend asks a LOT of questions (sorry bf haha), but Kenneth has always been able to answer all the questions, or looked into it if he didn't know the answer. One VERY valuable knowledge Kenneth possesses (aside from his spot on realtor instincts) is he's familiar with renovations and can give you a rough estimate of how much a renovation for, say, a bathroom, would be. His family apparently works in that field, so it was pretty neat and informative to ask him to estimate how much a kitchen renovation would cost (while looking at the sad sad kitchen), so we can take that cost into consideration. This was also valuable where Kenneth could advise what to renovate to ensure value add, if we were interested in the property. Last, Kenneth is just so generous and nice. One time after seeing 4 houses, I asked him later that night how the rest of his day went, and he said that he was so tired, he fell asleep at a home depot parking lot (which I found hilarious). But, I found out later that he was at the home depot to buy materials to help his client (seller) polish her "as is" property, and without her knowing :). He's a great person to work with--you won't regret it! Thanks for everything, Kenneth!
