Cathy came to the meeting fully prepared with comparable info, and data. Cathy is experienced, knowledgeable and real estate savvy. We listened to her selling advice and how to price our condo for the market today and asked questions. I liked the fact that Cathy fully utilized social media to advertise and market our condo. Cathy is an excellent communicator. She will listen to you as a customer and what your expectations/goals are and will set forth to incorporate them into the sell. We were fully confident that Cathy was representing us for our best interest in the sale of our condo. She will work diligently for you to achieve success! Cathy and her assistants Undrah and Yvonne will keep you apprised of the entire process from start to finish. They are excellent on providing status updates with specific details and answering any questions you may have during the process. We were very pleased with Cathy and her staff. I would definitely refer her to my friends and family. We did refer her to my sister in law and they were pleased with their outcome as well.

I met Frank while I was working for the Northern Virginia Association of Realtors, so I really had…read moremy pick of Realtors to choose from. I picked Frank because he wasn't part of the old guard, the Realtors that believed in the old ways. He was coming out with Frnaklymls at the time, and it allowed me to do a lot of house hunting on my own time, right from home in the evenings with my wife. I don't have the time some Realtors assume you have to go looking at houses. With FranklyMLS I was able to do so much research. That's how I like to shop: online in my own time. But when I had questions or needed help he was right there to assist. I even used it again 6 years later to find my next house (in a different area, so Frank wasn't my Realtor --his suggestion was for me to find a local Realtor that knew the area). Sometimes my Dad will send me links to his Blog forgetting that I know Frank and if I hadn't already read the post, I certainly had plans to do so. Over the years I've gone back to just ask him advice, like "I'm thinking of downsizing and buying something smaller and closer to DC. What do you think about that plan?" He always gave me honest answers that struck me as going against making money. I'm not sure that if I were in his shoes I wouldn't have just said, sure thing, and helped the person pursue their plan. If you want someone with integrity, that isn't it just to make a commission and will truly have your best interests in mind while helping you find that home or sell your home you should choose Frank. If you want some that uses the latest statistics and trends, thoroughly researches it all, you should choose Frank.

I was disappointed in DC Living Real Estate, even though I would say that the price we ultimately…read morereceived for the sale of our house was satisfactory, as were the number of days the house was on the market. In addition, the DC Living brokers worked hard. There were aspects, too, of our sale that would have tried the patience of any broker, and they remained cheerful and positive throughout. Some, and perhaps most, buyers would find the two principal brokers to be a good fit. Despite all of this, I found my relationship with one of the brokers to be among the most problematic I've had with a professional. I would urge anyone considering these brokers to make sure that they are equally comfortable with both, as their styles are quite different. My clear preference for dealing with the one with whom I felt I still had a good relationship was overridden at every turn. I particularly regret having agreed to dual agency. In effect, as soon as I had done so, I no longer felt I could receive reliable advice on the price negotiations, and later on the negotiations over the list of repairs. I'm pretty sure in retrospect that the buyers would have gone through with the purchase without the split-it-down-the-middle approach that dual agency invites. I don't know this for sure, and it is quite possible we would have made the same concessions had we been advised by a broker with no stake in serving the buyer, but with dual agency I couldn't be sure. I don't blame DC Living for having agreed to dual agency, although it wasn't clear until afterwards when I asked that they did not have a prior relationship to the buyers before meeting them at one of our open houses. Later, when the broker with whom I had a problematic relationship described a portion of the commission that they were kicking back to the buyer as having been granted to help make the deal work, it seemed curious. When I inquired, I was advised that the buyers had asked for it during the negotiations to bridge the gap between us, but it was not disclosed at the time it was asked for or granted, but rather later as a heads up in connection with a form that we would see at settlement. It didn't make any difference to the amount of commission we paid, but it dovetailed with the narrative I was developing in which I felt managed and not listened to or treated with genuine respect.

She treats her clients with such care, always listening to your priorities, providing all options for decision points, and giving sound advice. While other homes in our neighborhood sat for months on the market, she staged our home beautifully, priced it right, and had it under contract within the first weekend for an offer above asking price! A home in the neighborhood we wanted went on sale while we were out of town. We called Elle and she was in the property the very next day (a holiday!) to Facetime us. She got as much information from the sellers' agent about their priorities as possible. She then helped us craft a competitive and wise offer quickly, beating out another offer. Elle is not only an expert regarding real estate, but doubles as your interior designer and comes with an unsurpassed professional network for home repairs, home renovations, lenders, and anyone you may need in the process. There were several external factors that made our process particularly complicated, but Elle never seemed to get flustered and always figured out the next steps. She kept us regularly informed and navigated everything to the finish line. We cannot imagine having done it without her. She is a woman of high ethical and professional standards. I can say without hesitation that you will not regret putting your trust in Elle Cain and Washington Fine Properties to buy or sell your home.

Bottom line: BEWARE & AVOID…read more Imagine working with a listing agent that haphazardly chooses not to present an offer to their client, as a seller. No way, right?! Wrong. This group unethically prolonged ratification of a viable offer to drum up more offers on a poorly priced listing that's sitting COLD in a HOT market. And immediately after being held accountable, this listing agent undermined the reputable, military-affiliated lender of the potential buyers and increased the listing price by $30K to cover up their group's lack of judgment. That is an experience in working with the Good(bad)hart Group. Additionally, this group is disrespectful of fellow agents, while touting their long (see: out of touch) experience in the industry. From a millennial, veteran, BIPOC perspective, this nepotistic realty group is not one to work with. But if you're seeking a group that is discriminatory, condescending, and generally uncooperative -- this is the one for you.
