My mother passed away in 2023, leaving behind an estate that included eight properties ranging from…read morea million-dollar waterfront lot to Section 8 condominiums. Our family has trusted Laura for years, so she was our only choice to handle the sales. Our relationship with her began when she represented my son in purchasing his first home. She spent countless hours showing him properties, and when he found the right one, she dedicated even more time to inspections, document preparation, and negotiations. Despite the significant effort she invested, when the sellers were firm on an unjustified price, Laura advised my son to consider walking away. Her focus was on what was best for him, not on her commission. Ultimately, the sale went through when the sellers accepted the fair price my son offered. For my mother's properties, we trusted Laura's expertise completely, following all her recommendations on pricing and which repairs or updates would add value. She also advised us on what not to invest in, ensuring we didn't spend money on improvements that wouldn't be recouped in the sale price. Her extensive experience was invaluable; all eight properties closed within two weeks to four months of being listed. Most had multiple offers, and the one that took four months was delayed due to buyer financing issues. Throughout the process, Laura went above and beyond, often assisting the lender and buyer's agent with tasks that were technically their responsibility. She kept us consistently informed, so we never had to reach out for updates. With such a diverse and extensive portfolio of properties - spanning two counties, there were many moving parts, but Laura handled everything with professionalism, care and often - humor. It's rare to find an expert who combines such extensive knowledge with unwavering integrity and a commitment to always putting her client's interests first. A true pleasure to work with.

A real estate brokerage is only as good as the agent you use. I got an agent who is as good as an…read moreagent can be. I understand agents are only as good as the individual you employ - few realize the company the individual agent signs up with (works for) is totally irrelevant - but Anne Arundel Properties have some of the best agents money can buy - others, I'm told, are newbies. My agent told me the commission structure attracts the best and the part time. My agent (Mark) was simply the THE BEST AGENT I have EVER USED... He sold my $1,590,000 home in 12 days for close to full asking. It had sat on the market with another well known agent for 489 days. I've now heard this same sentiment from others I know he's represented. I have sold 9 homes in my lifetime using all the larger brokerages. Anne Arundel Properties provided Mark excellent support - that may be because my "agent" was also the attorney but 5 stars all round. Truly an excellent brokerage, if you get the right person!

Anne Arundel Properties represented a buyer who came and placed an offer on my house. IT was lower when what we were asking. We sent a counter offer through my agent. That was little too low, but discussions with the agent revealed what was a middle ground acceptable to all. Anne Arundel Properties represented by Susanne Modica left with that proposal (expected to be accepted) to give to the prospective buyers and was never heard from again. Several attempts from my agent to follow up were to no avail. Messages left were not returned. I then attempted to reach out to her, and still , no reply to the message I left. I ultimately reached out to the prospective buyer via the contact info listed on the contract, only to find out that Susanne had not passed along the message that she was incorrect, and that we were still 4k too low. Not only do I feel it was extremely unprofessional for her not to return calls, especially when a written contract offer had been submitted, I think she owed an explanation as to why what she believed would be accepted was not. The buyer told me we had sent $580 as his top price, and our agents had negotiated $584. After finally getting in contact with the prospective buyer, I offered the house for $580 he was willing to accept, but he informed me it was already too late, after believing we were done negotiating, we went with another house and placed a contract on that. Its bad enough when agents don't return routine calls, but when they don't return calls regarding an active negotiation on a contract they themselves submitted, that's really frustrating. And it doesn't help matter that she didn't even get the pricing instructions correct from their buyer. I reached out to the broker Robb Taylor of Anne Arundel Properties, by both fax and phone but have yet to hear back. I would not recommend doing any Business with Anne Arundel Properties or Susanne M. Modica

She spent hours answering all our questions, sharing objective data regarding home sales, and preparing us for the selling process. From start to finish, I was extremely pleased with Shirley's services as our real estate agent. She took care of everything for us, and her hard work and expert knowledge of what it takes to sell a home really paid off-- the listing looked amazing and knocked out the competition. We had a cash offer on the property by the end of the first week. I would highly recommend Shirley to anyone without question. She's a true professional, extremely responsive, and was by our side every step of the way to make our sale as simple and successful as possible. You'd be hard pressed to find a better, more qualified realtor to work with.

Her biggest strength is networking and negotiating with other realtors (many of whom she knows personally) to ensure her clients get the best possible price.

She stays on top of every step in the process through closing and is not afraid to speak out when she feels the process is lagging needlessly. Highly recommend O'Ranti! Janie & Mitch

I cannot recommend Jenn Klarman highly enough. My wife and I recently worked with her to sell our…read morehome in Greenbelt, MD and buy a new home in Bowie, MD. Jenn is professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and, above all, a real pleasure to work with. As relative newbies to the whole process, we had a lot of questions and needed a lot of help, and Jenn was so patient and helpful in explaining (and sometimes re- and re-re-explaining) everything and making sure we were comfortable at every step of the way. She sold our home in less than 6 weeks, for 99% of the asking price, a credit to her ability to price a home appropriately, market it effectively, and handle the process efficiently. There was an extra layer of complication due to our home being part of a coop, so she had to understand a ton of additional rules and regulations and work within them. Because of the quick sale of our home, we ended up in a time crunch to buy our new home. Nevertheless, Jenn never pushed us or pressured us to settle for anything less than what we wanted. She took the time to listen to us, understand our needs and wants, and learn our tastes. In the end, SHE found the perfect home for us that was far better than anything we would have found on our own, AND managed to get us to settlement within 5 weeks. She also has an extensive network of contacts on whom we could call, all of whom raved about working with her. (Even the seller's agent described her as "absolutely the most professional and enjoyable agent I have dealt with in a long time.") Finally, as I mentioned, Jenn is an absolute delight to work with -- we looked forward to seeing houses with her (even ones that turned out to be duds) because we knew she would be open, honest, and direct about the pros and cons of each. If you need an agent to help you with buying or selling a home, look no further!

Amazing place. Great people and always a good time. A building that is 100% about community.read more

I am beyond done with this building/management. This ROACH INFESTED building is a dump. I've left…read moreinternal reviews but it's time for a public one. 1. Management here is unresponsive. You can email all you like but you will not get a response. To date I have only gotten one response for issues I've reached out about and when I did get a response the Asst Manager said I needed to email a specific address, which I did and have those emails in the my Hecht's communication folder. Being gaslight like I'm a dummy who can't email. Ok. They are never available, either on a call or in a meeting but never free to actually speak to residents. 2. This building has ROACHES AND MICE. Hallways, stairwells, amenities and even units are having this issue bc of how dirty this place is. Keep in mind there is a bakery located downstairs that sells pastries to the entire DMV area. The main building cannot be the only area with a pest issue when the bakery is a source for food. 3. Amenities are apparently being charged at an hourly rate. An hourly rate for broken amenities and roaches throughout the area. I've seen the roaches and to date items are still broken. And you want $150 an hour to rent? Is the money going to something else bc why is nothing fixed if this is the rate you're charging. 4. Walls are THIN. If you like voyeurism through sound this is the place for you. I know everybody's business bc of how thin these walls are. 5. Units are ill kept and not properly turned over after move outs. I moved two hours to this building only to arrive to a dirty unit. Imagine driving for two hours and having to hold your move in so you can spend another two hours cleaning your unit. I told staff, nothing was done and no one cared. 6. The loading dock is DISGUSTING! The lack of oversight and maintenance is why it looks the way it does and why any/everyone can access it. The trash is here, left over furniture is here and the pigeon nest that smells like poop is here. Again, all sources for pest infestation the building is seeing right now. Again, there is bakery in this building right next to the loading dock, I would never eat from this place or anywhere it sells to. 7. Dog owners can do whatever they want here. The pee on the steps when you enter is pretty much a Hechts staple. Flies are everywhere in this area along with mice bc dog pee is an attraction for these types of pests. Notices never go out about this, and no one stops them. I've watched management, security and concierge watch ppl let their dogs pee there and they don't say a word. 8. The foam padding between the concrete in the garage ceiling is literally falling and hanging throughout the 6th floor. Its clear maintenance is being deferred in the building but especially in this area. If you're an engineer reading this I'm sure you understand the concern here. It's so bad that if it's raining outside even in the garage you will need an umbrella to get to your car bc water pours in from the 7th floor. 9. The elevator in the garage is either broken, or has throw up and pee waiting for you like it did this morning. Or during the winter you will have homeless people sleeping in the waiting area or doing drugs. Just depends on the season. And yes, I've witnessed this multiple times. 10. The homeless get tenant treatment at this building. This morning 9/17/26 someone came in and asked to get coffee. No offense at all but this is advertised as a secure building, allowing non tenants to get coffee in an amenity for residents is crazy. 11. There is no guest parking. Even though our leases states there is guest parking and passes are provided there is not. And this language should not be put in the lease if we don't have it. All in all this place is an overpriced, roach and mice infested dump that delays maintenance and allows those who are dirty to live as they want in this building. Live ANYWHERE but here. Or if you like roaches and mice by all means this is the place for you. My next review will be to DOH and DOB. That's how NASTY this building is.
