Herbert Riggs, many experts rolled into one…read more Herbert Riggs' unique skillset allowed us to find a great deal and enjoy the home buying process. Home buyers are nearly universally disadvantaged when buying a home; so many expertise and perspectives are needed in order to make a well informed and wise decision; you basically need a panel of experts on your side like a mortgage broker, contractor, market analyst, negotiator and area expert. When you hire Herbert Riggs as your relator, you actually get all of these experts rolled into one. Because he used to be a mortgage broker, he was able to provide extremely useful insight into the many quotes we received. We then chose our mortgage broker with confidence knowing that we were getting a fair deal. Because of his degree and passion for finance, he can put your current buying window into market context. What kind of seller attitudes and strategies can you expect? Where are interest rates headed? How does the current market compare historically? We had fascinating and informative conversations with Herb that gave us confidence in our timing and strategy. Because Herb is a Harvard-trained negotiator, we knew that we were using all possible resources to win with the lowest possible price. Many realtors just open doors, guess about the value of the property, and wait for their commission. But when you visit a property with Herb, you can rest assured that Herb's well-trained analytical eye and mind are on the task. From helping you solidify your own criteria to evaluating liabilities, visiting properties will be a substantive and educational experience. In one house that my spouse and I liked, Herb wisely pointed out hidden water damage and a lower quality flooring than what was assumed or advertised. When it came time for our home inspection, Herb even pointed out piping vulnerabilities that the inspector had missed. Some realtors only know that area because they live there; Herb performs in depth-analyses of historical data so that you can know how the current selling price compares to collocated and similar properties. Herb helped put into perspective the geographic forces that could be used to justify or change the value of the property. How does this school rank? What socioeconomic forces influence this area? This is the kind of work that many realtors simply don't want to do; for Herb it comes naturally. Of the several realtors we worked with, Herb stands out as superior thanks to his holistic approach into every part of the home buying process. From one scared homebuyer to another, let me assure you that Herb's expertise and experience will guide you to a great deal that you will be happy with, and you will enjoy the confidence of knowing that you have several experts on your side every step of the way.

He recommended some upgrades and he took charge of getting them all accomplished for us. This helped us to sell the property we inherited in a much quicker timeframe.

We feel comfortable calling him with any questions and he is always willing to help us out.

She found the contractors, got multiple bids, supervised everything and kept it on an incredibly quick schedule that I thought was not possible, and ended up closing the sale in early June for substantially more value than seemed possible a few months earlier. I have worked with multiple real estate agents over the years. There is no comparison to the value that Melinda has brought. She took responsibility for every aspect of getting the house ready to sell and delivered on all of her promises - if not over delivered. I cannot recommend her enough!!!

After searching for an apartment for two months without making much headway, we were referred to…read moreAdrian Hunnings at Palladian One Realty for help. Two days later, we saw the apartment we knew was for us, and Adrian immediately helped us file an application. Within ten days we had closed the lease. We could not be happier with the apartment we are now living in. From wading through apartments in the search phase to closing the deal, Adrian made the process easy at every step. Adrian communicated with us daily to keep us apprised of the status of our application, and he always made himself available to answer our questions. He kept the ball rolling when the owners were unresponsive, and he always had our best interests in mind. His attention to detail and his impressive knowledge of current real estate law helped alleviate the stress of the process. In short, we would highly recommend Adrian to anyone.

We can't recommend Ellen Cain and Washington Fine Properties more highly! Elle is brilliant,…read moreknowledgeable, a savvy negotiator, and trustworthy. 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.

I chose to work with Craig McCollough because I knew him personally. I was able to meet with him…read moreinformally at first to discuss what having him as a realtor would take. I did not realize that having a realtor as the buyer was a non-negotiable! Not only do you not have to pay for them, but the seller will definitely have one, and you will need somebody on your side. Craig was fantastic. Not only did he help curate places for me to look at, he also assisted in getting me around. As a DC resident, I don't have a car, and taking a bus to look at locations would be a little bit time consuming. He was happy to drive and show me multiple locations. Craig is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects that we encountered in my real estate journey. He was also happy to explain any questions that I had, and he was available at hours he probably didn't need to be. Possibly one of the best aspects about working with Craig is that he was always happy to answer questions. I am writing this review a year after having settled, and he is always responsive and helpful when I have questions as a somewhat knowledgeable, but still first time, home buyer. I would highly recommend working with Craig for anyone who is unfamiliar with what it takes to be a buyer. Thank you so much!

He called me *that night!* He was extremely responsive throughout the process, and his knowledge of neighborhoods, building styles, etc was incredibly valuable. It was personally important to me to find a place in Fairfax county that was at least somewhat diverse. Ray could speak to the population mix in various neighborhoods, and also the historical trends at work. It was just awesome. When we finally settled on a place, there was a competitive bid on the house already. Ray had some extremely clever ideas for ways to keep us in the running, and ultimately we won the house *at the offering price*. He even made an extra trip out to let me friends and family see the place when they visited from out of town. I'm recommending him to everyone I know. He's amazing.

He even took the time to go with us personally and point out what was a good buy and what he would not invest in. We went into contract during the Covid outbreak and he made sure to keep everything on track and safely get us through the signing so we were not stuck in a hotel. Moving every three years gets annoying so it's nice to have an enjoyable home buying experience. Highly recommend Ray and his team.
