Talking to her was fantastic-- I could tell she had excellent energy, was so knowledgeable, and would be assertive during the process. Over the next few weeks, we honed our list of favorite properties and Robyn was great with the showings. She let me guide the entire process and gave her honest opinion. We spent a morning and afternoon together, and by the end of today we had an accepted offer! Even in the midst of selling our current home in another state, Robyn has been so helpful. I am so glad we decided to work with her based on her excellent reviews-- and I'm happy to be another one!

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.

Dawn is a wonderful, knowledgeable full-service realtor who is a joy to work with. We wanted to…read moresell our family home which needed fairly extensive renovations before hitting the market. She gave us recommendations to maximize curb appeal with her stylish eye, stepped in to refer general contractors and project managed the entire process. The house looked amazing when it listed! I live in California and she helped to coordinate all the necessary paperwork from across the country. I even used my learnings from Dawn to buy and sell a house here! 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.

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. I have submitted numerous written claims with pictures as requested by the website and by the answering machine that substitutes a real person during working hours!!!! I have yet to get a response. 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!

Having an agent respond at a timely manner is what keeps this industry moving. Kenneth has been great in both transactions. We received the ratified contracts and got the job done! I have no complaints about his quality of work and would instead praise his attention to detail. Kenneth also does not focus on the commission and leave/disappear after the closing. We had a post-closing issue on whether the sellers had taken bricks from the property. Kenneth took it upon himself (after the seller's agent and seller would not replace the bricks or pay for them) to go to home depot and replace the bricks himself. Furthermore, he has been very accommodating on meeting times and location. He makes it so working with him is easy and flexible. I HIGHLY recommend Kenneth Wang as a realtor in all of DMV area!
