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.

Bogdan was incredibly thorough, always taking the time to answer our questions and explain each step. He was also flexible and accommodating with our schedule - we were in town only three days each week, which made coordinating everything much easier. In addition, our search parameters changed; Bogdan pivoted immediately and had us in properties fitting the new parameters within hours. On top of that, he's just a genuinely friendly person--easy to talk to and truly invested in helping his clients.

HE IS THE PERSON WHO HELP US TO FIND THE HOUSE JUST WITHIN THE 2nd OFFER in NICE AREA! My husband and I met Franky at one of the open houses in Washington DC. At that time, we didn't have any idea about the home-purchasing process. Even Though we searched online, we still got lost since we didn't know what the first step was and what our priority was. Franky helped us to understand the overall process, and encouraged us to think about our future life to set the goal of home-purchasing. Even Though we were not his clients at the moment, he gave us a 1-hour presentation of the whole process with the pamphlet. When we decided to go with Franky, he tried his best for us to find our FIRST HOME with some of our considerations. Since both of us work full-time, he made house-tour appointments or meetings (regarding making offers) after work hours. After our offer was accepted, Franky and his team gave sufficient advice regarding everything, such as locking the mortgage, depositing, final walk through, and the settlement! It took only 6 weeks to move into the new home since we started to look at the house to buy. As you can see my name, I am a foreigner and the whole process seemed overwhelming for me. However, Franky helped my husband and I to relieve the stress by communicating with the selling agent and title company. (Oh, I heard that he speaks English as well as Spanish). If my friend who came from foreign country asks me to recommend any agent, I will recommend FRANKY and his team! I am writing this review in my new, cozy room, where I dreamed about since I immigrated here. I can convince that if you work with Franky, you will never regret.

My search for a home in DC was a long and complicated one. I was a first time home buyer with very…read morespecific needs, a family who was very involved in the process, a unique financial situation, a definitive time-frame where purchase would need to be completed by, and a very tough schedule to visit properties. I was referred to Maria Fernandez, interestingly enough, through my first real estate agent (who was making career changes). At this point, I had all but given up on finding a property for purchase in DC and was going to settle on renting for the remainder of the time that I was going to live here. However, I found Maria to be extremely knowledge (both of the city and of the market), friendly, patient, and above all honest. She was able to unravel the extremely complex and convoluted path to purchasing a home in DC while working with a myself, with a very difficult work schedule, and my family who are located a few hours away. With every property we visited, she was able to give a thorough summary of the highlights and possible shortcomings of the property. She was honest when she did not have the information I asked for and was timely in response when she found my answer. When working with Maria, it does not feel like she is trying to sell you a property, it feels like she is trying to help you find your future home. Whether it was last minute calls to see a property, or when I was late to a showing due to work constraints, she always met me with a friendly demeanor and understanding. As a first time home buyer and a transplant to DC, I cannot imagine a better first agent with whom to make a purchase of a home.
