This letter will serve as my very high letter of recommendation for real estate agent and broker…read morePhilippa Main. She assisted my brother and me with the sale of our parents' home in April 2022. I have worked with many real estate professionals on several transactions over the years and can say with confidence that Philippa is one of the best I have ever used. Philippa has the qualities that make her an extremely successful and effective agent. We found her extremely knowledgeable and well-attuned to the super fast-changing market of early 2022. She was always attentive to our concerns and very responsive to questions, often responding immediately no matter the time. She showed great attention to detail enabling the sale to be made in less than a week. Our mother had recently passed away and we were raw with grief. Furthermore, we live in California, so it was even more important that we could rely on someone like Philippa to take the reins from beginning to end and that is exactly what she did. She was able to interpret and solve all the questions pertaining to our mother's Trust without the need for outside lawyers, and this was a great convenience to us. We also feel that we got the highest price possible for the house based on her pricing strategy and advice. Philippa exceeded our expectations in every way. The sale went very smoothly and we closed on time. I would not hesitate to recommend Philippa to anyone in need of a listing agent or for the purchase of a home. We interviewed three other agents before deciding on Philippa and she did not disappoint. Every detail was perfect, from the fantastic professional photos, the listing description, to the impeccable transactional aspects leading to the close of escrow. In a nutshell, she is a top tier professional, intelligent, tenacious, fun and talkative, bright and conscientious. If you need an agent/broker then hire Philippa Main. You won't be disappointed.

She has one of the best response rates and follow through that we have experienced in our history of buying and selling multiple homes. We would recommend her to our friends and family for sure!

Jin Wickwire is AMAZING!!! Look no further for your next and future always realtor! From start to…read morefinish, Jin goes above and beyond for her clients. I loved how she explained everything so openly and clearly, as well as being highly responsive whenever we had questions or needed to discuss things related to our next home. She made everything a breeze which is so necessary when buying and/or selling! It is such a crazy and often times stressful process, but with Jin on our side, I felt at ease and grounded. She has so many connections, knows everyone (and everyone knows her), and is knowledgeable about pretty much anything you could want or need to know. And if she doesn't have the info you're looking for, she makes sure that we get what we need. Our buying process was a little hectic but she truly did an exceptional job of helping us with negotiations, navigating hard and tense dynamics, and dealing with conflictual or complex situations. We needed to upsize and were looking for a single family in Northern Virginia. She helped us find the home that we'd been looking for- a single family in Gainesville! No matter what came our way, she was there for us and always on our side. 10/10 recommend! Our family will be using her forever!

We don't usually leave negative reviews, but our experience with our former landlord and real…read moreestate agent, Jin Wickwire, unfortunately ended on a very disappointing note. While the home-buying process itself was smooth, our move-out experience was the complete opposite. As a family with young children, we were repeatedly questioned and made to feel uncomfortable over normal wear and tear......things like minor drywall nicks that are expected in any home with kids. These were already being addressed on our end with a contractor, as we had communicated. Despite agreeing to cover repairs and forfeit a $3,000 deposit, we were met with unnecessary comments and a level of aggression that felt unprofessional and unwarranted. It was especially disappointing given that we chose to work with her over many other options, expecting a level of trust and respect in return. We believe in accountability and were fully willing to take care of any legitimate damages....but respect and professionalism should go both ways. Based on this experience, we would not recommend doing business with Jin.

I cannot recommend Shaun enough as a realtor. He recently helped us to sell our townhome and…read morepurchase a larger house in preparation of welcoming our third child. From Day 1, he was incredibly responsive, detail oriented and truly cared about what was best for our family, not the quickest deal. He led us step by step through the listing and staging process, handled an open house and eliminated so much stress that can otherwise come from moving. For our home search, he suggested listings, showed up to properties with us and recommended an excellent inspector, electrician, and we closed quickly. It's easy to offer Shaun to anyone in the area looking to buy or sell. We were truly blessed to work with him and should we ever need to move again, he'll be my first call.

I'm a happy home owner because of Shaun…read more I lived in DC for 20 years before deciding that I wanted to buy a place. And since I use Yelp for everything else, I decided to see what the People said about realtors in the area. As you can see, Shaun has a lot of fans. I loved what people had to say about him but it was really the video on his website that convinced me to set up a call with him. Hearing Shaun talk about where he grew up, how he ended up in DC and how he runs his business seemed almost too good to be true. But he's the real deal. Shaun wants to help you find your perfect place more than he wants to just sell you a house. Since I was doing this completely on my own it was important to me that I felt comfortable with my realtor. And while I took friends on a couple showings, in the end it was Shaun that helped me figure out which place was right for me. He would gently point out things that maybe I didn't notice or tell me when something wasn't as big of a deal as I thought. When I tried to talk myself into something he would remind me of the reoccurring dream I had about more space and how maybe XX wasn't a good fit if that was still important to me. I was on the fence about whether I wanted to leave the District. I ended up buying in DC but Shaun did a good job showing me all around Old Town. He'd listen to what I liked and didn't like and then adjust what we would look at the next time And while I'm going to be a city mouse a while longer, I made him promise that when the time comes he will help me sell my current place and buy the next one -- I'm eyeing the Parker-Gray area. Lastly Shaun has a guy for everything. Need a lender, Shaun's gotta guy. Need an electrician, gotta guy. Inspector, check. And this network is just as solid as Shaun. His network walked me through everything as a first time home buyer. I hear people talk about how hard it is to buy a place and honestly that wasn't my experience, at all. Clearly buying a place isn't like picking a happy hour spot but once again Yelp pointed me in the right direction. I love my place and finding and buying it was a really great experience because of Shaun. If I could give him 10 stars and 2 energy drinks, I would.

We had an outstanding experience working with Megan Fass and the Fass Results Group in selling my…read moreparents' home in McLean. From the very beginning, Megan and her team (Jenny Moore) demonstrated professionalism, market expertise, and a genuine commitment to understanding our goals. Thanks to her strategic approach and strong network, we received five competitive offers in a short period of time. What truly set Megan apart, though, was her ability to help us navigate those offers thoughtfully--not just focusing on price, but on finding the right buyer. It was very important to our family that the home not be sold to a developer who would tear it down, and Megan respected and prioritized that throughout the process. In the end, she helped us secure a buyer who aligned with our wishes while still delivering an excellent outcome financially. Her communication was clear, her guidance was steady, and she made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and well-managed. The house was on the market in January and we had two snow storms that Megan and Jenny were able to take care of getting the snow on the driveway shuffled in time for the open house. We're incredibly grateful for Megan's dedication and would highly recommend her and the Fass Results Group to anyone looking to sell (or buy) their home.

Paul was not only knowledgeable, communicative, and quick to get…read morethings done- he also provided sound guidance when I asked for it; was encouraging and checked in on me when several hurdles presented along the way; was always flexible and thorough... The list goes on. As a first time homebuyer, there was so much I didn't know and so much I was anxious about- he is trustworthy and made me feel grounded through the whole process. All in all, my buying experience with him was more than I could have asked for.

Update: I was genuinely concerned with Ms. Delgado's response, as I certainly wouldn't want to…read moremisattribute negative comments. I checked my phone records and do see that her number called mine while my home was on the market, but I do not see any record of a number associated with the Maria Delgado she believes I interacted with calling me. Again, this wasn't the biggest deal and it was only one interaction - YMMV. My original post was flagged because "it lacks a substantive consumer experience". I'm not sure why the below isn't a substantive experience, but I'll restate it in more verbose terms. I was selling a home and she was showing my home to her client. She called with short notice to show my home and then did not arrive during the window she requested. She arrived 35 minutes after without calling. Further, she did not apologize for the tardiness, possibly because she didn't want to look bad in front of her customer. Opinion - based on my experience and Brian S's experience, it seems like Ms. Delgado could afford to go through some professional growth. I wouldn't say she is hopeless, I just would want my friends to know I didn't have the best experience AND I would want Ms. Delgado to know I would appreciate more professionalism. This was my experience with her and I would think others would want to know - which is the purpose of yelp. If yelp deems this unrelated to the customer experience, I'll move my crowd-sourcing needs and reviews elsewhere. Here was my original review: Pleasant, however, arrived 35 minutes after showing window without calling. Made for a needlessly awkward situation for all parties involved. Certainly more understandable before cell phones.

George and I started this venture a year ago and decided to wait for personal reasons and she stood by us and never pushed us on our venture but showed patience and genuine interest in our thought process and remained close to us. We decided this month to once again start our venture for our dream home and Maria came through with flying colors. She was so precise in finding the perfect house for us! We didn't even need to view a bunch of houses, she knew EXACTLY what we wanted and found it. During our process Maria had surgery but as soon as she came out of her surgery she was on her A game like no other! She didn't miss a beat. We not only put on offer on our dream house but she ensured that we ratified on it the same day! If you are looking for a dedicated, loyal and exemplary agent to provide you a stress free journey for your dream home she is it! No question she will find it for you.... Thank you Maria for everything you have given us! Lorena and George

It's been a few years since my last review and PJ is still our go-to realtor in the Northern VA…read morearea. This time around he represented my mom in selling her house (and I as her unofficial project manager/liaison) in the craziest seller's market we've encountered in recent years (May 2022). Since working with PJ last, his expertise in the area, the market, the regulations, and in negotiations have only grown. However, what has not changed is his kindness, patience, and desire to put his clients' best interest first. In this case, PJ helped my mom and I navigate through the selling process in such a crazy market and through a multiple offer situation. PJ advised on a selling strategy that he predicted would get my mom the best deal and within the ball park price she was looking to sell the house for. This included some repairs and renovations to the home we needed to do in order for the house to look as presentable as possible to sell. PJ helped us determine and prioritize only the necessary renovations needed so that we could take advantage of the hot seller's market before the next interest rate hike, rather than wait for a full-scale renovation to be completed (because who knows how long that could take?). Did I mention that my mom has retired and resides oversees and I'm still in California?? So, during the times I couldn't be present in VA to oversee the work being done by our general contractor + other contractors, PJ would happily step up to the plate to be present for our home improvement team and cover any new costs incurred. This also meant PJ had to work through an 11-hour time difference with my mom and a 3-hour time difference with me from a communication standpoint, and he absolutely did it with ease and so much patience! In the end, all the renovations he suggested made a significant difference to give the home a much needed facelift, all the while saving my mom tens of thousands of dollars that she initially had planned to spend on updates. Once the house was ready to be listed, it was GO-time and PJ really worked his magic. His marketing for the house was top-notch and he had the most beautiful photographs taken with the home digitally staged. I'm a professional photographer and even I could hardly tell that the photos had fake furniture haha. In addition to other photo and video assets he had produced by his talented creative team, he also was able to spread the word about the house within his network a few days before even listing it on the MLS. All of this was highly effective because in only 4 days of being listed, we had 130+ groups tour the home, over 10 offers sent to us, and a bidding war situation! By the 5th day of being listed, negotiations were underway between the top 3 offers and finally on the 6th day, we had selected an incredible offer and was officially under contract! When I say incredible I really mean it - almost 200k over asking price, no contingencies, and a 3-week close!!!! The entire time while in escrow was smooth sailing and everything happened as expected. This was everything and more than what my mom and I could have hoped for, and it was all due to PJ's guidance and help! After having worked with PJ throughout the years on several occasions now, I can attest PJ is more than your average realtor! He genuinely cares about his clients and will go out of his way to support them! Real estate is more than his career, it is his passion and you can see it and feel it in his energy. He truly loves what he does and he loves to help people accomplish all their real estate goals! My mom and I cannot recommend PJ enough to anyone looking to buy or sell and will be turning to him for any real estate needs in DC and Virginia in the future!
