We came across Jeff through USAA when we started looking for a new home in the DC area in spring…read more2019. He was super responsive, putting together a list of potential properties to visit on less than 36 hours notice before we even met the first time. During our search, he was always available via email and text, and prompt in replies. He was also timely in all home visits. His background as a contractor, and military experience, were traits we appreciated and which gave him a different perspective than other realtors. He never tried to "sell" us on a home, but looked at every place with a keen eye for detail, possible/probable issues, and a real sense of what we were looking for. During the purchase process, he was 100% on top of the paperwork flow, ensuring timely provision of necessary info to us, and that we were prompt in our responses as necessary, all without being pushy. He also recommended a great lender, which gave us a rate almost half a point lower than the companies we were considering, saving us several hundred dollars per month. In all, our experience with Jeff was excellent. We plan to use him again when we decide to sell or rent our new home, whenever that may happen.

Overall, we could not have been happier with Jeff as our agent. I will be recommending him to co-workers/friends in the future.

Over the last two decades I've owned and managed several rental units in Reston and for much of…read morethat time Mark Wilson, a man I've known and worked with for many years, helped me in vetting tenants, negotiating leases, and acquiring maintenance assistance when it was needed. It was always a smooth process. So when it came time to finally sell the final property there was no question in my mind who I would turn to handle the transaction. The sale was made as part of a 1031 Exchange which takes special expertise and Mark brought this and much more to the table making the entire process as efficient and as transparent as possible. His market analysis and subsequent contract negotiation was on the mark - pun intended - and we brought the sale to close in record time. Timing was important because of the Exchange requirements which necessitate closure within some very strict parameters. To assist in this Mark referred me to an excellent colleague of his in my acquisition market - Richmond, VA - and that proved key in making the entire process work. What could have been a tricky - and costly - procedure went very quickly and very smoothly. My time in the Reston market both as a resident and investor has now come to a close but were that ever to change Mark would be the first person I'd call to get it taken care of. He is a person of integrity whose opinions I value, skills as an agent I admire, and recommendations I have faithfully and profitably followed. If you're in need of a truly professional real estate agent, I highly recommend him to you. He does not disappoint. Thanks Marks!

I was disappointed in DC Living Real Estate, even though I would say that the price we ultimately…read morereceived for the sale of our house was satisfactory, as were the number of days the house was on the market. In addition, the DC Living brokers worked hard. There were aspects, too, of our sale that would have tried the patience of any broker, and they remained cheerful and positive throughout. Some, and perhaps most, buyers would find the two principal brokers to be a good fit. Despite all of this, I found my relationship with one of the brokers to be among the most problematic I've had with a professional. I would urge anyone considering these brokers to make sure that they are equally comfortable with both, as their styles are quite different. My clear preference for dealing with the one with whom I felt I still had a good relationship was overridden at every turn. I particularly regret having agreed to dual agency. In effect, as soon as I had done so, I no longer felt I could receive reliable advice on the price negotiations, and later on the negotiations over the list of repairs. I'm pretty sure in retrospect that the buyers would have gone through with the purchase without the split-it-down-the-middle approach that dual agency invites. I don't know this for sure, and it is quite possible we would have made the same concessions had we been advised by a broker with no stake in serving the buyer, but with dual agency I couldn't be sure. I don't blame DC Living for having agreed to dual agency, although it wasn't clear until afterwards when I asked that they did not have a prior relationship to the buyers before meeting them at one of our open houses. Later, when the broker with whom I had a problematic relationship described a portion of the commission that they were kicking back to the buyer as having been granted to help make the deal work, it seemed curious. When I inquired, I was advised that the buyers had asked for it during the negotiations to bridge the gap between us, but it was not disclosed at the time it was asked for or granted, but rather later as a heads up in connection with a form that we would see at settlement. It didn't make any difference to the amount of commission we paid, but it dovetailed with the narrative I was developing in which I felt managed and not listened to or treated with genuine respect.
