Jean's team developed a plan to give us the best possible chance of success. She also advised us to use an aggressive pricing strategy to increase interest. All of her decisions created a best-case scenario for us. We were thrilled to have multiple competitive offers well above our asking price to choose from. After accepting a great offer, we were then so impressed with the communication and efficiency of the team during the closing process. Trusting her strategy was one of the best decisions we've ever made. We can not recommend The Garrell Group enough!​

This is not a fake review. Check out my account and you will see that I have been on Yelp for…read morealmost two years. You will see further that I have never reviewed anything until today. I come to Yelp occasionally to lurk, and that is about it. I have never reviewed anything because, whether good or not, the products and services that I have received have never caused such high emotional amplitude in me that I felt compelled to write public reviews about them. That changed two days ago, on October 6, 2014-- the day that I closed on my first home. As a result of working with The Garrell Group I have learned that Realtors don't just find homes and sell them for people. Good Realtors shape the home-buying/home-selling process and then shepherd it to its final conclusion. They are the ultimate conductors of the thing, and they work exceptionally hard to earn their pay. Mark and Jean Garrell are good Realtors. They are consummate pros who respect their clients and their profession. In short, they are The Real Deal, and I do not think you can find better Realtors anywhere. As I look back on my first contact with them I see nothing but a long chain of personal growth. From the very beginning of our home search, The Garrells skillfully educated me and patiently worked with me as we narrowed in on a house. I cannot stress how accommodating, how kind, and honorable these people are. The fact is, I did not just want a house. I had quite a few definite parameters, and yet once these parameters were established, they became the parameters that Mark and Jean insisted upon whenever we looked at a prospective house. They showed me what to look for in a house, what is really important, and what is not. We looked at a wide variety of homes, spread all across Northern Virginia. At every point they helped us see how each home stacked up to the market. But once we nailed down the right house, then the hard work began. From the moment we made the offer on our house to the day of our closing, The Garrells were there by our side. They worked with our mortgage broker to ensure that we would not be blindsided with negative surprises (I stress this most powerfully. Make sure the broker and Realtor are honorable and that they are working together for you). The Garrells arranged and then conducted us through inspections, managed our contingencies, and helped us negotiate an incredible stream of favorable terms. It was shocking to see it unfold before us, especially since I have so often heard horror stories of unresponsive agents who have permitted deals to come crashing down due to incompetence. That just never happened with us because Jean was constantly on top of the project. She artfully worked us through the entire thing, and then, as I sat at the table on closing day, she and Mark were both right there at my right hand. I only write this review because I enjoy experiencing the work of highly competent people, and want my experience to be enjoyed by as many others as possible. We all work hard for our money. The Garrells respect this and you see it in everything they do. As a result, I will personally never so much as think of using a Realtor other than those at The Garrell Group. They are so responsive, and work so hard to take care of you, that you would just be shooting yourself in the foot to deal with anyone else.

STOP SCROLLING! Look no further. You've found her. NOVA's best realtor, Jeni Spagnoli!…read more Jeni was essential to my husband and me owning our dream home. She was always responsive to us, even over the Fourth of July weekend when we found our dream home. She helped us book a showing for the same day we inquired, helped us get pre-approved, and helped us put an offer on the house - ALL ON THE SAME DAY. She contacted the seller's realtor to understand what the seller was looking for and advised us to put a specific offer on the house that would be tough to beat, especially considering there were already three offers on the house. Within 48 hours of finding our dream home, we were on contract. Jeni was also essential to us selling our house. We weren't planning on buying our dream house so the house we were living in wasn't prepared to be put on the market. No problem though as Jeni was able to help us make a (long) list of things to fix and/or upgrade, kept us on schedule, planned several open houses, marketed our house to other realtors, and gave us advice on how to price our house in such a tumultuous market. We were able to sell our house above the sale price and with the contingencies we needed. On top of everything above, Jeni has a great sense of humor and felt like a close friend that we've had for a long time. She was honest and candid throughout. Her knowledge of the NOVA real estate market was impressive and she has such an extensive network to draw from. Overall, she is a fierce realtor who will make your dreams come true - well, at least your housing dreams. We would absolutely recommend Jeni to anyone in the NOVA area who is interested in buying and/or selling a home. When we are looking to buy again, we will not hesitate to contact Jeni. So what are you doing? Contact her now!
