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.

If you are looking for a realtor, look no further. Laura is the ONE! My husband and I were…read morefirst-time home buyers buying a condo in Arlington. Laura was recommended to us as a top agent in the DMV area with impressive transaction volume each year. Although we identified multiple agents through our search, we immediately decided to work with Laura after our initial video call because we were impressed by her knowledge of the local housing market and all aspects of real estate transaction. We are so grateful that we did! We were buying a condo in a very competitive area. Every time when we made an offer, we had a competing offer and had to act very quickly to make our offer more competitive. Laura worked around the clock to prepare the comparative market analysis, tour the units with us, crafted and advised us on compelling offer terms and negotiated with the seller agents. Our closing had some extra complexities due to the condo building's financing approval being expired. Laura skillfully helped us navigate this issue. She proactively included relevant language in our offer to protect us from such financing issue before we even knew there was an issue with the condo building. After we discovered the issue, Laura was in constant communication with the seller's agent, condo building and mortgage broker to speedily resolve the issue and ensure we could close on time within 3 weeks. Laura's price prediction and recommendations were spot on when we submitted our offer. She recommended us to adjust our offer to a certain price to increase our chance of sealing the deal at our offer price (instead of activating the price escalation clause and resulting in us paying a higher price). We were able to be the winning offer because of Laura's excellent communication skills and expert advice. We followed Laura's recommendation and did not have to pay more than our offer price for the condo. The appraisal ended up being higher than our purchase price. We are grateful that Laura helped us secure our dream home at a great price. Laura was extremely responsive and patient. We had a lot of questions as first-time home buyers. Laura patiently answered all of our questions at any time of the day. Despite her busy schedule, she accommodated our challenging schedules and requests under short notice every single time, which enabled us to close our home with great success. We could not have asked for a better realtor to share this home purchase journey with. Thank you Laura for being an outstanding, caring and dedicated realtor!

Bottom line: BEWARE & AVOID…read more Imagine working with a listing agent that haphazardly chooses not to present an offer to their client, as a seller. No way, right?! Wrong. This group unethically prolonged ratification of a viable offer to drum up more offers on a poorly priced listing that's sitting COLD in a HOT market. And immediately after being held accountable, this listing agent undermined the reputable, military-affiliated lender of the potential buyers and increased the listing price by $30K to cover up their group's lack of judgment. That is an experience in working with the Good(bad)hart Group. Additionally, this group is disrespectful of fellow agents, while touting their long (see: out of touch) experience in the industry. From a millennial, veteran, BIPOC perspective, this nepotistic realty group is not one to work with. But if you're seeking a group that is discriminatory, condescending, and generally uncooperative -- this is the one for you. Bonus: check out another review the group had removed to hide their poor performance.

Their competitive pricing and processing always makes for a smooth transaction whether it be a simple purchase or refinance transaction to the more involved transaction with Power of Attorneys, 1031 exchanges, etc! Over the last decade of being in residential mortgage lending the MBH Team including team lead and Attorney Ryan Stuart always make for a wonderful experience each and every time I get the honor to work together.

From start to finish, the entire process was seamless, efficient, and handled with the utmost professionalism and care. Our Closing Attorney, Ryan Stuart, and Loan Processor, Janelle Curtis, were absolutely amazing to work with. They were both so kind, extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and attentive--addressing every question we had promptly and in great detail. Their professionalism, expertise and genuine care made the entire process not only easy but truly enjoyable. What could have been a stressful time felt completely seamless, and that's entirely thanks to them. The moment we arrived at MBH's beautiful Old Town office, we were welcomed so warmly--it immediately set the tone for the day. Every detail--from the greeting to the closing itself--was impeccable. Ryan even took extra time to sit with us afterward and answer additional questions, which we appreciated more than words can say. We left feeling cared for, confident, and truly grateful. The level of service and sincerity we experienced with MBH Settlement Group Old Town went above and beyond all of our expectations (and they were set pretty high, based on prior experiences). We are so thankful to Ryan, Janelle, and the entire team--and we will absolutely be using them again in the future. Highly, HIGHLY recommended!

Technically, I could represent myself…read morein my residential needs however I truly believe in using experts in their field rather than being penny wise, pound foolish. I met Jamie years ago when he represented my old firm selling a condo development for us in Arlington. I then used Jamie personally to sell my own condo in 2013 which wasn't the strongest market at the time yet he sold the condo for me within a week. Recently I hired Jamie to sell my mother's condo in Falls Church City as she was getting ready to move to a retirement community. Jamie once again excelled in selling the unit quickly, before an open house and with multiple competing offers. More importantly, he was extremely empathetic and attentive to my mother during a difficult transition for her. I could not recommend a better agent to use to sell your home.

We also know her and/or a member of her team listed the people's previous home who actually purchased the house we were interested in. She basically was trying to make sure the people who bought the house got first dibs on the house with limited or no other people to compete against. She and her team are unethical and rude!!

I recently purchased my first condo in Washington DC, I didn't know a thing about buying a property…read morewhen I started. My realtor's name was Jennifir Bobsein, she came highly recommended from a friend and wow did she make a difference. Luckily Jennifir is licensed in both VA and DC so I wasn't limited in my selection. I choose to look more closely at DC. From the very beginning, Jennifir worked tirelessly to ensure that not only did I see as many properties within my criteria as possible, but also that I would not pay over fair market value. When I finally did place an offer, Jennifir spent all the time needed to go over every piece of paper and why it was important. I had no idea there were so much paperwork involved in the process, but Jennifir made it all very easy to understand and very clear. (I actually didn't have a single question of the lawyer at closing b/c Jennifir had explained everything to me so well.) Even after the offer was accepted, Jennifir checked on the property numerous times, on her own, to ensure the inspection and all the mandatory fixes were completed to satisfaction. I have a very demanding work schedule and could not make it to everything. I cannot recommend Jennifir Bobsein enough, I will surely send everyone I know who is looking to purchase a home in her direction. She is professional, knowledgable and exceptionally nice/attentive to your needs. Jennifir's number at Weichert is (703) 835-1256, you can also google her name and get her personal page on Weichert's website.

I just sold my home through Weichert and would not use them again. If I could do over, since I was…read moreselling in Old Town, I would use McEnearny instead. I interviewed several agents and used this Weichert agent because she was listed in the Washingtonian as one of the top 100. The agent provided no guidance on pricing my home, basically left it up to me, once the home was on the market she had minimal contact with me and failed to return calls, when I texted or emailed she would say that she would call later and did not, she complained about her other clients when we did communicate (which makes me wonder what she was saying about me), she remove my listing after I received one low offer within 24 hours of reducing my price, eliminating the opportunity to receive additional offers. In full disclosure, the reduction was my action, not hers but she did not provide any professional advice on the price change. After stating multiple times that I would out of the country on the settlement date, two days before settlement she asked if I would be at the closing, after I had already signed the settlement documents earlier in the week. She never even communicated that the closing had actually taken place, even though I was not present. I actually had to reach out to her and ask! I have bought/sold six houses and this was by far the worst service I have ever received. Overall service was poor, full of drama with every communication (from another client being threatened with a gun to her daughter's Louis Vitton handbag being stolen). As the client I was never her priority. Worst $60,000+ I ever spent.
