Almost rented a property with this company and luckily dodged a bullet. This company has a very…read moreextensive application process, which includes an entire month's rent and a security deposit equal to one month's rent to even CONSIDER approval. In addition, each individual resident is charged a $50 application fee. In total, to apply to a small, $3300/month rental home, the application cost was $6850 with 4 residents and a guarantor, which is insane to begin with. We loved the home, though, so we paid it. The process was confusing and difficult to navigate from the beginning, and constant calls and emails to the property management were necessary. Once 3/4 residents had finally submitted their fees and applications, our entire application was lost and erased by Mars Hill. We had to start over from scratch and redo all of our applications. Mars Hill then requested we send the $6850, but prohibited wire transfer, Venmo, Zelle, and pretty much any reasonable form of payment besides PayPal, which would have charged us nearly $200 in fees to send such a large sum. When I asked them for their account info to attempt to send it via direct deposit, they sent the completely wrong info and had I not confirmed, I would have sent nearly $7000 to a random bank account. Finally, they agreed to let me use Zelle. Upon sending over all of the money, we were informed that we would need to wait 24 hours for approval by the homeowner. Three days passed and I called, growing very impatient as they knew my group was on an extremely tight schedule. The property manager informed me she would need another 24 hours to communicate with the owner because they had received "another application," after I was told my group was the only application being considered. I told her we didn't have time to wait and to please just refund all of the fees and take us out of consideration. She then immediately responded that if my group would pay a "double security deposit," (almost $7000, making the application process total almost $10k), she would be more willing to accept us. She explained that they had rented the unit to young adults in the past who caused "$7,000 in damages and ruined the house."Basically, told me my group was a liability and unable to be trusted to rent responsibly due to our age (not sure this is even legal?) Needless to say, I told her absolutely not and to refund me immediately and take us out of consideration. From beginning to end of the process, Mars Hill wasted WEEKS of my time, led my roommates and I on, and pocketed $250 in application fees for absolutely nothing. Unsure why if they were so hesitant to rent to young adult roommates, they wouldn't include that in the listing or inform us before we wasted so much time and money on their ridiculous application process.

Alex is awesome! And so is his entire team at Valor Group!…read more Over a year ago, we reached out to Alex because he was part of a suggested group of realtors to make contact with. We looked him up, read about him and the company and immediately felt positive vibes. We appreciated his background and likable personality. For over a year, Alex communicated back and forth with us, displaying an abundance of patience with all our questions regarding the home buying process. We were typical new home buyers with certain and definite must haves. We had one shot to 'get this right'. He acted with assurance and always made us feel there was definitely a home out there for us and the help to get there. We knew we were in the right hands. It finally came time to meet him in person. Man, what a great time! Alex was relaxed and calm, and a pleasure to share the experience with. Our impression was and is, he's on top of his game and really cares about the home buyers and making sure the right deal happens. He was straight-forward and honest, every step of the way. Never once did we question our decision pairing up with Alex and Valor Group. About 2 1/2 weeks ago, my family and I closed on our first home together. And it's because of Alex and his team that we finally have a place to truly call our own. We are forever grateful. Francine and Keith Baillie

Lux Manor Real Estate, Bethesda, USA - Jim Roy…read more Jim Roy proclaims to be honest, efficient and customer friendly. Please note all he is exactly the opposite. His business ideology is based on not sharing facts and he lacks functional transparency in giving meritorious people equal and fair opportunity to buy/rent/sell real estate. Does not exhibit genuine equality in dealing with people. Reflects lack of real estate transactional experience and understanding. Definitely do not recommend him to be trusted for your business and professional commitments/advisory services.

Can't say enough about their professionalism and empathy. All transactions and even closing done at home, making process for anyone handicapped very efficient.

I had the displeasure of conducting my sale with this company and I do not recommend them…read more Scott was so condescending when going over my ALTA and explaining what debit was left off by their Senior Processor, Zoe, who had sent it to me two weeks before my closing date. My realtor had to reach out for two days to receive the final ALTA and when she did it was wrong. The night before my closing I finally got the correct final ALTA and it was way off from the one sent weeks back so I asked the other processor if she could go through it with me and she connected me with Scott. He sounded as if I were inconveniencing him by asking about the impactful difference, still no accountability taken for failure of including this debit and no apologies offered. Also, when I signed my closing documents I had to ask if they'd be needing the condo, mailbox, and storage keys. No one even asked! When I emailed about how disappointing this was there was no reply, so now everyone can know how disappointing their lack of communication was and know there are other Title and Escrow companies to use in the Fairfax area for your closing and settlement.

Outstanding Service from Pride Settlement and Escrow LLC!…read more We had an excellent experience working with Pride Settlement and Escrow LLC. Brooke Thomas and Derek were both amazing throughout the entire closing process. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail made everything go smoothly and gave us peace of mind. Brooke went above and beyond to ensure the property had no outstanding liens and worked diligently with the condominium management association to obtain the necessary documentation. Within just a few days, we had the final ALTA statement and Seller's Closing Disclosure ready to sign. She also provided copies of the lien releases and kept us informed every step of the way. Brooke was incredibly responsive, often replying within an hour, and arranged for an in-person notary as an alternative to online notarization, all within our required timeframe. She also promptly confirmed the settlement details and followed up with a verification email. Derek was equally helpful, guiding us through a hiccup with the wire transfer instructions and quickly sending us copies of our closing documents within minutes when we accidentally lost the original email. His quick response and willingness to help were greatly appreciated. The entire team demonstrated outstanding customer service, efficiency, and professionalism. They made what can often be a stressful process feel organized and manageable. We highly recommend Pride Settlement and Escrow LLC to anyone looking for a reliable, responsive, and detail-oriented title and settlement company. Brooke and Derek are a pleasure to work with, and we would absolutely use them again!

She superseded all my expectations! She understood my specific desires, price point, location and was able to show me properties that fix exactly what I was seeking. She understands everyone's has busy lives and was able to accommodate my personal work schedule, commuting distances and made these sacrifices for her client in order to make this process a bit less hectic.

She is truly an exceptional Realtor/Agent! I would highly recommend her services to anyone seeking to purchase or sale a home.
