When you read this review you're probably going to think that my realtor Leslie Friedson paid me to write it. She did not! But here's what the Friedson Group did for me:
Leslie is a consummate professional. She's a closer. She knows the real estate business inside-out and manages to read buyers and sellers like a great marriage counselor; except everybody wins. She sold me my first house 18 years ago in an incredibly tough market were there were 12 other bids, all way above asking price. She got me that house for $20,000 LESS than asking price. Yes, less.
Leslie's team and fabulous sidekick Tyler helped my son buy a very cool house in Silver Spring. The inspector she works with helped my son avoid a house with serious flooding issues that would have cost $60,000 to mitigate before even moving in. Her mortgage broker got him a great rate.
After my daughter had spent months looking for a house with other real estate agencies who gave her shady advice on prices and contracts, I strongly recommended Leslie. She found my daughter the perfect house in the perfect neighborhood and worked tirelessly to help her put in a bid that worked! My daughter especially liked how Leslie listened to her and didn't let her compromise on her must-haves.
Last but not least, after 19 years I told Leslie about my idea to move out of our house in Bethesda, rent it out, and buy a house in Silver Spring to be closer to family. She didn't skip a beat. She helped us think through the pros and cons of this risky endeavor. She knows the market and helped us see the moneymaking potential of the house. When we decided to go for it she told me exactly what I needed to do to prepare our house for rent. She tells it like it; specific important things like "get a new fridge, those lights have to go, use this paint color." She even helped us with the ad to rent the house.
We had to move out quickly, so Leslie got right on it and found us a wonderful house within minutes of our daughter, our son, my sister, and it's closer to my husbands work. It had everything we needed including a park around the corner to let our dog run. And of course we got an amazing mortgage rate. Now our other house is rented and we're getting enough rent money to not only pay that mortgage but help pay the new one, too!
Remember what I said in the beginning. You would think she paid me to say all this. You would have a hard time believing a real estate agent could be this good. But Leslie Friedson is this good. Don't waste your time going anywhere else. read more
