My husband and I were first-time homebuyers and to be honest I was completely clueless. However, Matene explained each and every step and made sure that we had a clear understanding of the process. From our first phone call, I knew that she was the right real estate broker for us. She was there for us throughout the entire process. Even though we knew she had many more clients, she made it seem as though we were the only ones. She made herself very available to us and was very prompt in returning phone calls, text messages, or emails. When we started the process I was placed on bed rest. However, we wanted to continue to search for our first home, so Matene and my husband went to see houses together and she made video recordings of the homes so that I could see them. (I did go see the house we really liked prior to putting in an offer). How thoughtful was that! Even more, when I was admitted to the hospital, she made it a point to check on me daily. She was genuinely concerned about my health and that meant so much to me. There were no questions that Matene was unable to answer regarding the home buying process. She was very patient with my husband and I during this entire process. She checked in with us regularly when we went under contract to ensure that things were progressing smoothly and we were staying on track for closing. She even did a video chat with me so that I could be present for the settlement. Again that speaks to how thoughtful and considerate she is. On the day of our closing, after the settlement, she paid me a surprise visit in the hospital to congratulate me on our first home!! My husband and I could not have purchased the home we did, for the price that we did, without Matene. We started this journey with her as our real estate professional, however, I feel as though we ended it as friends. I HIGHLY recommend Matene to anyone looking to purchase a home. Please do not hesitate to contact her, you will never regret it!!

After an appalling and dreadful experience with a previous agent, I almost became discouraged and…read morewas ready to abstain from purchasing a home until meeting Matene. My agreement with my previous agent was near expiration and wanting a change, I decided upon Matene after performing some research on sites such as this one and immediately terminated my agreement with my previous agent. I was contented to find that Matene was extremely pleasant, professional, and constructive. During the first week of viewing homes, I found the home I wanted and submitted an offer which was later accepted. I was astonished at how the first offer I submitted with Matene was accepted, especially since my last three offers were rejected with the previous agent. Being a first-time home buyer, the experience was challenging and stress inducing, but Matene was able to make it serene with her competence. Matene's transparency, guidance, expertise, and proficiency was immensely helpful during the home buying process. Not only did Matene counsel me and ensure that my interests were preserved during the entire process, she brokered the best deal of a lifetime. After closing, Matene presented me with a wonderful gift (which I won't share because I don't want to spoil it for the rest of you lol) that adds a perfect touch to my new home. I really appreciate Matene's help and assistance during this process. I thank her for everything she did and it was an extreme pleasure working with her. I highly recommend her services for anyone who is looking to buy. Trust me, you will NOT be disappointed!

Charlet Shriner was more than a realtor to our family! She came in for an appraisal and my dad, my…read morehusband and I all felt at ease and comfortable with asking her questions and being up front about our budget and our finances. We were both selling our house and purchasing our next home. She kept us apprised about appointments of visitors for our home. We have three children and she kept that in mind when allowing clients to schedule appointments. She held an open house for us and Charlet shared the feedback for us to consider. She was honest and forthright with us. When looking at homes, she gave us honest opinions and things to consider. Charlet was very easy to get a hold of and was available through text messages, emails, and cell phone conversations. Charlet helped us find our perfect dream home and did so with thinking outside of the box. Charlet is absolutely wonderful to work with. It's like having a friend on the "inside" that is working for you. She really cares about her clients as well as the community and neighborhood she lives in.

It's often said that we don't appreciate the skills and experience of an airline pilot until…read morethere's a problem; I now think that may be true of a realtor. In the final weeks of closing the sale, several considerable and (very) unexpected problems emerged from the property inspection. Charlet went right to work leveraging her diverse contacts in the area and expertly resolved all of these issues - and the sale went through as planned and on time. In a real estate market as volatile as Northern Virginia, having a knowledgeable and well-placed realtor is the pivotal element of a successful sale or purchase. Charlet was engaged, responsive, and flexible in mapping out strategies that satisfied the seller (that's me) as well as the buyer, and I highly recommend her to anyone thinking about entering the market.

As a first time home buyer, working with Juli was the best decision and made the whole process so…read moremuch easier and successful. Juli was incredibly knowledgeable and full of helpful and discerning information when we toured homes. She was always attentive and available and never made us feel like we were asking too many questions (which we probably were!). We felt like her top priority, and Juli was so fast in helping us put in offers. She also has great connections in the industry, like for home inspectors and other contractors. Finally, Juli is so warm, energetic, thoughtful, generous, and takes the time to really get to know her clients and what they're looking for. We're so grateful and highly recommend working with her.

It took 4 times of her disrespecting me to the point I am beyond fed up. I kept staying quiet. I kept getting disrespected. The nicer I was the more she pushed me down to the bottom of her priority list and value. and my value was zero to her as a human. She was sending the wrong listings I didn't complain. I asked her to please send the other ones. Then she was sending rentals. Then listings in the wrong state. I pointed out to her. I've been beyond patient and got nothing but denial and her gaslighting me telling me she didn't send the wrong areas when I clearly am looking with my own eyes and they are there. The nicer I was the more shed I guess thought I was a pushover and could just keep cancelling past minute. On top Of this she wasn't scheduling any showings for me and cancelled meeting TWICE !!!! I texted her and she still was gaslighting me telling me the listings dod not include erroneous info. The listings that were there were unclear if they were preach built or new construction. I asked. She said she would let me know . She didn't. Then she cancels the appointment again so she can go help someone else I guess a juicier deal just arrived at her and she shoved me aside like dirt to take her other appointment after cancelling prior and me re arranging to meet her time. I have never ever dealt with this level of cold uncaring service from anyone. She literally has no regard for me as a human being and zero respect for my time.

I have worked with several real estate agents before and Philippa Main is one of the best I have…read moreworked with. She helped me purchase my home in Arlington, VA and I am very grateful for everything she did. What I appreciate most about Philippa is her honesty. She is a direct person and tells you exactly what she thinks, even sometimes when it's not what you want to hear. I respect this a lot because buying a house is a big financial decision and I don't need someone who just agrees with me on everything. I need someone who understands the market and can give me real advice. She is great with the numbers and knowing property values. She knows Arlington real estate market very well and was able to explain why certain homes were priced correctly and others were not... I also look at real estate from investment perspective, so this was very important for me. She always had information prepared and never made me feel pressured to buy something. The entire process from searching for homes, negotiating the offer, inspection, and closing went very smoothly. She was always available for questions and made sure everything was handled properly. I felt very comfortable trusting her with my important purchase. Since buying my house I have already recommended Philippa to some friends and people I know. I don't give recommendations easily because my own reputation is also important to me. But with Philippa I know they will be in good hands. I highly recommend Philippa Main to anyone buying or selling a house in Arlington or Northern Virginia. She is a straight shooter, experienced and cares about doing the right thing for her clients. I am very happy with my purchase and thankful I had her as my realtor.

Obtaining the services of a real estate agent is much more than "finding someone to sell your…read morehome". This is especially true if you are selling an inherited property as I was earlier this year. A good real estate agent will know the area, know the laws and rules and will help assess your home and get it listed and sold for a "good price". A great real estate agent is a counselor, a partner in your effort, someone who "has your back" throughout the process in addition to doing all of the real estate work. Philippa Main is an *outstanding* real estate agent and an even better person. My father passed away leaving a home in Woodbridge, Virginia - the home in which I grew up and which contained almost 50 years of possessions. I contacted Philippa in March of 2026 to discuss its potential sale even as the house was in significant disarray while I engaged in the slow process of cleaning it out and sorting through the many things my parents had accumulated over the years. When she visited the home, I looked around and threw up my hands. Philippa looked around and said, "we can make this happen." I sought her out specifically because she mentioned having expertise in sales of homes that are inherited - a particular niche that involves a delicate dance of handling family dynamics, wills, probate laws and determining what, if any, money should be put into renovations or improvements that will get a reasonable return on the investment. From our first conversation over the phone - which she took time to do in the middle of a busy weekend - Philippa was incredibly personable, easy to talk to and anticipated many of my questions and many of my concerns as we talked. By the end of our conversation, I felt like I was chatting with a friend who had expertise I needed. Over the following three months, she was a (rapidly-responded-to) text or phone call away as I navigated getting the house ready for sale. She helped outline a schedule and a plan to list the home. She connected me with a large network of trusted service providers from junk removers to contractors to painters to flooring experts from whom I obtained estimates and some of whom I contracted to help clear out the house and prepare it for sale. While she always reiterated that she would back any decision I made regarding the house, I always sought her counsel when making major decisions such as whether or not to spend money on renovations and, if so, which ones were most important. Of course, there were obstacles - some amusing, some less-so - but Philippa helped me handle each one with a confidence borne of having "seen it before". That is an incredibly valuable thing when dealing with a stressful situation. In the end, the home was listed in June and had nearly seventy showings in three days. The house sold for well over its asking price and after all of it I know some things: The home could have been sold by another agent. But few, if any, others could have been a partner in the process the way Philippa was for me. She was a trusted resource, a confidant, a person who knew when to inject humor into a situation and when helping me vent was what was needed - she understands people and the process of selling an inherited home in addition to being a brilliant real estate agent who knows the area and who knows how to get the job done. I couldn't recommend her more for ANY real estate work but, especially, if you face the task of preparing and selling an inherited property.
