The tenant listed his current address as a post office and listed the same landlord for his previous two residences, even though one was the post office in Arlington and the other one was in Atlanta. The tenant listed himself as the supervisor for one of his previous jobs even though he worked for a company and was not self-employed. There were many red flags not picked up by the realtor. I spoke with the CEO of the company about these issues and he was rude and dismissive. I would not recommend using this company.

My wife and I were in a car accident. Neither of us had insurance so we didn't go to the hospital…read more We knew that the accident that had just occurred was not our fault, but still weren't sure if the insurance would see it that way, especially is the other driver did not claim fault. As most of you may know, working claims with insurances can be long and arduous. Anyway, to make a long story short we were directed to Attorney Price. He made the experience the so easy. We never had to interact with the either insurance company, and never had to worry about a thing except for where to sign our names. Attorney Price is very personable and since the practice is just him he knows every aspect of your case. Sometimes working with large firms makes it hard because you constantly have to work with multiple attorneys who may not know the intrinsic parts of your case. The thing is, we were initially pointed in the direction of a larger firm, but our case was not taken.Then we talked to Attorney Price he was more than willing to take our case. He was positive that we would win the case and get us a settlement that we would be happy with, which he did. I'm not going to lie, it seemed a little far fetched, but with his smile and confident handshake we knew we could trust him. From that first day till the end it was the smoothest process we could have ever asked for, and it's all thanks to Attorney Price. We are so thankful that our case was not taken by the larger firm. Thank you for helping us through a difficult time and process! Our recommendation is more than 5 stars. It's a recommendation of a lifetime.

Great service, sound advice!…read more Leyla helped me buy my first home in Logan Circle back in 2010, and Denny helped me sell it in January when I moved out of state. Leyla was super helpful and attentive and walked me through every step of the process so I could focus on what I wanted and not get lost in the transaction. And she was terrific about helping me narrow down my choices and criteria, and then zooming in and working hard to find me options once I settled on exactly what I wanted. I had total confidence in Leyla, and that made all the difference in the world, especially in a highly competitive market. Without telling you what to do, Leyla will give you the advice to get what you need at a price you can afford -- and in a way that takes the stress out of the process. Denny is also great. Along with assistance from both Leyla and Buddee, Denny made the selling process easy -- which was exactly what I needed as I was already mostly living out of state. And he helped me make some hard choices and navigate the market at a complex time, especially with COVID and its impact on the condo market. My wife and I first met Denny when we got together with him and Leyla back in 2016 as we first thought we were going to move. Turns out it took several years before we were ready -- and they picked up where we had left off without skipping a beat.

When you're working with them, you know you're being well taken care of and it truly shows. When it comes time for me to buy/sell again in the future or if any friends or family are in the market, I can guarantee I'll be referring them over to Denny and Leyla. Thank you again!

Wendy's realtors know little to nothing about building quality, materials, or construction nor do they have any taste. They don't listen to feedback about preferences. They hire incompetent inspectors and in my case there was zero follow up when they offered support from 'their' contractors about an issue during inspection. Since moving to DC, nearly every other realtor I've met has been more intelligent, thoughtful, and honest about guiding clients through the incredibly important life decision of buying a home. Look elsewhere and or live with the consequences.

The Greg Wells Team provides a process that ends in production and results!…read more When selling a home (even if it's your 3rd home sell) but especially a 6000 sq. ft. home that has done nothing but love and raise your family, expect tears on your part and revolt on the houses part. Neither one of you wants to let go, but both know it is time and the house needs a new family to love and raise. The Greg Wells Team made this transition with such compassion and yet gave us the reality and truth to what we needed to do to get the house "move in ready" for this new family that we were praying would find us. A labor of love, investment, and energy came from us to take out our footprint out and create a neutral but stunning home for a new buyer. Greg Wells and his incredibly supportive team were always there, responding to calls, texts, or even an onsite visit for support or an opinion or a contractor contact. In addition to his marketing package, the contacts to even make all the transitions from paint, carpet, hardwood floors, then staging and even the move itself, is all "standard" for their customer service. This gets you to the "show date" to go live. The Greg Team then seemed to go into overdrive, with their marketing strategy, the professional open house, the follow up with "showings". Every house and property has something that makes it unique and will be loved by a future home buyer. The Greg Wells team made sure that every person that looked understood the value of the home. In 3 weeks there was a potential buyer that ended up being the perfect family to now raise their children in a home that just loved activity. The personal time that Greg put in "after hours" to be available and informative to potential buyers and their realtor, was selfless. Our family is grateful and highly recommends The Greg Wells Team whether you are saying goodbye to a house or you need to find a home.

So I waited 6 months to make my review as we all know that buying a home does not end at the…read moreclosing. This property was my third home purchase and after dealing with other realtors in my previous transactions, I wanted to evaluate their follow up and response to cleaning up the odds and ends of a home purchase after they started focusing on their other clients. Executive summary: The Beall team are consummate professionals. They are the firm one should select if looking to sell or buy in the Arlington area due to their extensive knowledge (schools, neighborhoods,amenities), professional demeanor, off hour availability, high ethical standards and good client followup. I try not to give out many 5 stars but the Beall team deserves it for the work that they do, their advice on many issues and experience they bring to the table. We first discovered the Beall team (Kathy) when we went to an open house they were hosting. Having been to multiple open houses, we were pleasantly surprised at the wealth of information about the home, the neighborhood, schools and local amenities mentioned in our brief conversation. This level of interaction and details about the home was something that we had not come across in other open houses and it made an impression on us. When it came time to sell our home, we interviewed two firms, the Beall team (who is associated with Remax Distinctive) and Redfin. In talking with the firms, the advantage of Redfin is that they give back a portion of the commission upon the sale or purchase of a home. Our experience with Redfin (on a previous home for sale) was that they are spread over a wider area and are generalists who don't necessarily know the details of an area, school reputations or neighborhood information. After meeting with the Beall team, we knew that we would use them as our realtors. They (Kathy, Jeff and Alex) work as a team, know the area market, know the issues with various school districts and they know Arlington and the surrounding region. Part of their service is to bring in an interior designer to help stage the home. Their suggestions opened up the flow in the home and made our living room much more inviting. Jeff and Alex also brought over an extra bed for us to use so that an extra room we had would look like a bedroom. It was little things like this that we liked about the Beall team. I previously mentioned the high ethical standards and experienced this first hand with Jeff. He wanted to bring to my attention a potential issue which could potentially cost him the sale depending upon our response. I find this quite admirable to know that they were upfront and honest with me and made me respect the professional nature of the team even more. My wife and I also liked them as individuals. They are friendly, hard working and easy to talk to. There are many realtors out there. Some great, some good and some not so good. Interview a few to get a feel but remember to include the Beall team on your shortlist. They are, without a doubt, one of the great ones.
