Selling a home can be a daunting experience and likely the largest single financial transaction most people make, so I wasn't about to leave this to chance. I did my homework and interviewed several agents with experience in my neighborhood. When I interviewed The Sandra Crews Team, I asked them the same questions that I had asked the others, but their responses stood out. They didn't rely on catchy slogans, unrelated endeavors or unrealistic promises. They were refreshingly candid, honest, and realistic. From our first meeting, they were professional, highly knowledgeable, and straight to the point. They had a clear plan, backed by market expertise and real data. I never felt pressured--just supported by smart, hardworking agents who clearly had our best interests at heart. Unlike the other agents, Sandra and Alex weren't bothered by the fact I was talking to their competitors. They simply told me to check out their track record and let the results speak for themselves. Sandra and Alex helped us get our house repaired, painted, and ready to sell. They put together a solid plan and worked with us to execute it. When we asked to change the date that our home went live, and they adjusted the schedule to make sure everything was ready in time. Thanks to their strategy, preparation, and attention to detail, we had multiple offers on the first day. Sandra and Alex negotiated a contract with full asking price and zero contingencies. They took care of all the details and really put us at ease. It was an incredible outcome, and the entire process went smoothly from start to finish. If you're looking for an expert real estate team that combines experience, honesty, and results without fluff or gimmicks, I highly recommend Sandra and Alex Crews. Choosing them was easily the best decision we made. read more

Consummate professional delivered on the plan as proposed in record time! Sandra Crews came recommended by our financial advisor and upon researching her reviews, we knew she and her team were a top contender for our endeavor. We believed we wanted to sell in 2025 and when we met just before Christmas 2024, she gave us an honest assessment of the property, the plan to get it ready, her plan to pre-market to establish the right price, provided exceptional resources to prep the house and help us move, and her team put together an incredible media package. She is extremely well educated, has a robust network put to work on your behalf, and unbelievably knowledgeable of the market and its many dynamics. She and her team are extremely communicative and responsive. Within minutes of leaving from our initial meeting, she had the contractors lined up with estimates flowing. She was diligent in her recommendations making sure we did not put in any more expense to the sale than absolutely necessary maximizing our returns. Her fee strategy was also highly competitive and very fair. We understood the full plan prior to signing. Most impressive is she executed the plan exactly as presented and secured the target price within 24 hours of the listing going 'live'. She used her expertise and market data to perfectly time the listing to get ahead of competition but to not be too early and linger. She made the experience the easiest and financially the best we could have possibly wished for. Sandra Crews and her team are without question the very best if looking to sell your home. read more

Sandra and Alex are the dynamic duo that really shaped my first home buying experience in the most positive way. I just purchased my first home and have no prior market/home buying experience. This process had the potential to be incredibly stressful and nerve-racking, but they always had a way of taking the pressure off of me and assuring me that they had everything taken care of while still educating me on the process and guiding me for the duration of the journey. Alex and Sandra are both incredibly knowledgeable and understand the market across the whole DMV. They used their expertise to advise me on certain properties, pricing, contracts, contingencies, everything from start to finish. They were extremely patient with me the whole time, and encouraged me to make some harder decisions, but wouldn't hesitate to offer their opinions if asked. They explained everything to me in depth, and answered all of my (at times dumb) questions with kindness and professionalism. Both Sandra and Alex were always available to talk things through, or to answer my questions, and I never felt like I was one of many clients that they were balancing (even though I was). The experience was personalized and Alex and Sandra felt more like family. They were invested in me from the beginning, and I will never be able to thank them enough for their dedication, guidance, support, and expertise through the entirety of the process. I will for sure utilize them in the future for any rental or home buying needs. You guys are the best!! read more

I contacted the Sandra Crews Team to help me sell my town home in the Fair Ridge community in Fairfax. I was selling my home for the first time and wanted an experienced real estate professional with a proven track record that I could rely on to make the process as stress free as possible for me and see that my property sold relatively quickly. The next day Sandra and Alex Crews met with me at my house to assess the condition of my house. They made recommendations and in the ensuing days brought in their crew of professional contractors for estimates. The contractors ended up doing an outstanding job and completed all the work within two to three weeks, at which time the property went on the market. My property was advertised on several websites and included photos and virtual tours, and the Sandra Crews Team's pre-MLS marketing strategy was very beneficial. It took just twelve days for the property to get a contract at full asking price. Sandra's expertise in real estate and negotiation skills really stood out from that point on as she handled all the formalities including buyer negotiations, inspection, closing and everything else that occurred in between. She kept me informed of everything that was happening during the entire process and both Sandra and Alex were always available to respond to my emails or phone calls, and displayed a great deal of professionalism from start to finish. Thank you both for all the hard work and dedication! read more

Gene & Rumpai We initially selected Sandra because of her prominent activity in our Greenbriar neighborhood in Fairfax, and the reviews we had read on various websites. We were in the market for a larger house within a reasonable budget. We were also in the position of having to sell our Fairfax home and buy a new home in a tight timeframe during the mid-summer which would allow us to enroll our daughter in Elementary School in a timely manner before Labor Day. Sandra and Alex were extraordinary in their efforts. They showed us a number of houses in the new neighborhood that met our needs and, more importantly, got us multiple offers on our Fairfax home at the asking price. In the end, we closed on our sell and new buy within two weeks of each other and were in our new home almost a week ahead of the 1st day of school!! What could have been a very stressful process was made immensely more tolerable due to Sandra's experience and personality. Additionally, her negotiating skills not only got us the price we were asking on our sell, but we were able to bring the asking price of the new home down by $45K. I would strongly recommend the Sandra Crews Team. She and Alex really work hard for you. read more

My husband and I were just at the beginning stages of looking for a home. We saw that there was an open house in a Fairfax neighborhood close to ours so we decided to view it. This is where we first met Sandra & Alex Crews. Sandra took the time to speak with us and give us an overview of the home-buying process and her business. We felt very comfortable with her right away and felt like her and Alex were the right realtors for us. Sandra was always quick to respond to our questions. She made herself available to show us any of the houses we were interested in - even ones that came on the market just a few hours earlier! After only a few weeks, we finally found "the one" that we wanted to put an offer on. With Sandra's guidance, expertise, and negotiation skills, our offer was accepted! She made the home-buying process go so smoothly that we couldn't be any happier - from start to end. Thank you so much Sandra and Alex for helping us find our dream home! Then, just a few weeks later, our friend decided to move forward with the home buying process. We recommended Sandra and Alex Crews to her, and she recently closed on a home as well! We highly recommend Sandra Crews Team! read more

I was referred by a Fairfax, VA Greenbriar neighbor to Sandra Crews and her Team when I decided to sell my house and retire. Sandra and Alex Crews brought in their knowledgeable remodeling Team associates to update and prepare the house for sale. They advertised the house for sale on many different websites and built its own website with professional photos and virtual tours as a part of their pre-MLS marketing. They placed signage on major traffic routes in the immediate area. The house was only on the market 2 days before it was sold for full price! Sandra kept me informed of the appraisal and home inspection processes and provided details of the buyer negotiations. She also advised me on the details of the Closing process; scheduled within 30 days of the Contract Agreement negotiation. Due to a personal scheduling conflict, Sandra acted on my behalf with a "Limited Power-of-Attorney" to facilitate the sale at Closing. Many thanks to Sandra Crews and the Crews Team for making my retirement plans so successful! Not only did Sandra and Alex successfully sell my house, but, I gained new friends ...and, new friends are "priceless" as they say! read more

In life we have many options but clearly not enough time to conduct the thorough research we'd like to do on life's many issues. When it comes to purchasing real estate, making important decisions is challenging because there are numerous real estate professionals angling for your business and definitely not enough time to truly understand the real estate process. Further, you most likely moved here from someplace else - far away from your established network of go-to professionals - and had to start anew. If I can save you some time and headache, do what I did and let the Sandra Crews Team effectively and successfully assist you with your real estate needs. These folks clearly know their tradecraft and will help you navigate the real estate waters. What can I say, my older house - no granite countertops, no stainless steel appliances, and no hardwood floors - sold above the asking price in less than three days with absolutely no headache on my part. And because of my positive experience, I hired the Sandra Crews Team for my new home purchase and have referred them ever since!!!! Be smart and do the same! read more

We selected the Sandra Crews Team when we decided to sell our house in Fairfax. I noticed the presence of multiple Sandra Crews Team signs listed in the Greenbriar neighborhood. When I first met Sandra and Alex I was very impressed with their experience, unique marketing tactics and professionalism. My house required some contract work and Sandra had multiple resources to get the job done which required minimal effort on my part. It was very convenient to have the free moving trailer and Alex's help since we needed to vacate our home in a few weeks. They sold the house to a cash buyer and the contract was not contingent on financing or appraisal. We are currently working with Sandra and Alex to purchase our townhome and looking forward to continued success in our next purchase. I definitely would refer the Sandra Crews Team to anyone who is looking to selling or buying their next home. Great Job to Sandra & Alex!!! read more

In preparation to sell my home, I interviewed several agents. I knew Sandra Crews would be the best and she proved me right. Sandra Crews and Alex did an excellent job throughout the entire process of selling my home from coaching me on how to prepare the house for the market, marketing the house, doing open houses, negotiating multiple contracts, and closing the sale. Sandra Crews brought me three buyers, negotiated multiple offers, and escalated the asking price. Sandra sold the house $30K above my asking price and she got a contract within a few days. She sold the house quickly and most importantly I only paid 2.5% total commission because she brought the buyer. They kept me informed all along the process, responded quickly to any questions I had, and were attentive to any needs that I had. I was so pleased with Sandra and Alex that my parents also used them to sell their home and I would use them again. read more

My wife and I had the absolute best experience working with Alex (and Sandra). We were searching for a rural property with a little bit of land out in the outskirts of DC; I can tell you that was not an easy task. Some of the homes we wanted to see were more than an hour away, but he never once complained or hesitated to make the trip with us. He coordinated every detail from scheduling showings, planning the routes, and keeping everything organized with printouts of each home; this made the entire process 100% effortless for us. His professionalism, prompt communication, and positive attitude turned what could have been a stressful search into an enjoyable experience. Thanks to his hard work and patience, we found our perfect home, and we couldn't be happier. We highly recommend Alex and Sandra to anyone looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and truly caring real estate professional! read more

We had the best time working with Sandra and Alex Crews buying our home in Fairfax. As first-time home buyers we were quite nervous, but Sandra guided us through the process and thoroughly explained everything in the contracts. She was mindful of our time and made sure we only looked at houses that were worth our time. Sandra and Alex are experts in the Greenbriar neighborhood. In fact, Alex owns a house in that neighborhood. As such, Alex knows a lot about how the homes are constructed and knows what sorts of upgrades are typically conducted on the houses in Greenbriar. His expert eye was invaluable as we were performing the house inspection and he could quickly note what had been done and what may need to be done on the house in the near future. Sandra and Alex were a joy to work with and we wouldn't hesitate to use them again the next time we're on the market for a house. read more

We have nothing but praise for Sandra & Alex Crews and the Crews Team. As first time home buyers, we were a little apprehensive. We selected the Crews Team based on all the good reviews and were not disappointed. From the initial meeting thru closing and beyond, their market knowledge, communication and honesty was both professional and comforting. We knew that this was a tough seller's market and our budget was marginal for what we wanted. At home after home we visited, the number of bidders was eye opening. We were getting rather worried that maybe the market was out of our reach. Sandra and Alex reassured us that the "right place" was out there. Finally, with Sandra's skilled negotiations (and re-negotiations) we were able to purchase a house we love. Once again, we have the highest praise for The Crews Team and recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a home read more

The Sandra Crews Team is outstanding. From day one, Sandra and Alex demonstrated professionalism and dedication insuring the selling experience of our home in Greenbriar was as seamless as possible. They assessed the condition of the property, discussed pros/cons of changes and made recommendations accordingly. Sandra and Alex provided contractors who completed tasks in a timely fashion and they insured that the work that was performed was done satisfactorily. The marketing strategy used by the Crews team is very comprehensive and I believe Alex's photography was instrumental in the execution of this strategy. Once a buyer expressed interest, Sandra's sales skills kicked in and she stuck with it until we had a sale that met or exceeded our expectations. I trust and highly recommend the Sandra Crews Team to anyone selling or buying a home. read more

My house in Greenbriar was rented and I had to put it on the market after tenants moved out. I've heard about Sandra Crews Team from my neighbors and came to Fairfax to meet with Sandra and Alex. They presented an impressive marketing proposal and advised me on the necessary repairs to prepare the house for sale. All I had to do is give them the key! Their crew transformed the house at a surprisingly low price. Not only Sandra and Alex sold my house in 2 days, but they found the buyer and I paid only 3 % in commission. Their efforts were very well coordinated and they stayed on top of everything. They took care of every step of the transaction, including home inspection and closing, and made it easy for me. It was all done professionally, quickly and efficiently, and I never had to go back. Excellent work! read more

The Crews Team is knowledgeable and responsive -- an absolute pleasure to work with. We couldn't have asked for better people to guide us through all the wickets related to selling our home! Sandra's outstanding knowledge of the real estate market in the area, and willingness to walk us through every step of the way got us on the right track. Her engagement with fellow realtors to generate interest in our home along with the expert guidance and support we received from Alex made our part so much easier. I strongly recommend this team to anyone looking for a realtor who will invest whatever time and expertise that's needed to see you through the process of preparing, listing and ultimately selling your home. Our house sold in less than a week, above asking price and with minimal contingencies. read more

Sandra Crews is truly exceptional and goes above and beyond, even when there's no direct transaction involved. She recently helped me navigate a lease renewal with one of my tenants and handled everything with professionalism, efficiency, and care. From reviewing comps to communicating with the tenant and managing the back-and-forth, Sandra was always prompt, clear, and supportive. What stood out most was her willingness to assist even though there was no commission involved. That speaks volumes about her dedication and integrity. She knows the market inside and out, and her advice throughout the process was invaluable. I'm grateful for her support and highly recommend Sandra to anyone looking for a real estate expert who genuinely cares and delivers outstanding service. read more

Plus, a referral fee for friends who use her services. She's the best. read more

I contacted Sandra without prior notice when I needed to sell my townhome immediately, and I didn't know what to expect, but she and Alex are amazing realtors and sold my house in record time for an excellent price, exceeding all my expectations. They handled every detail seamlessly from start to finish in my absence, as I had already moved out of town, and they recommended and implemented strategies I would never have thought of to secure the best buyers, identify and leverage well qualified offers, make the whole process easy on me, and sell my home for top dollar. They are extremely knowledgeable, professional, thorough, reliable, experienced in their field and a joy to work with. You can't go wrong with this team as your agents! read more
