Testimonial from Morra Aarons
Working with you and your team was a pleasure. I sold my condo in Dupont at a very tough time- at the height of the 2008 "financial crisis," with crashing markets and lots of anxiety. Through it all, you provided valuable perspective and guidance and helped keep me calm. Your thorough knowledge of the DC condo market, legal requirements, pricing and marketing was apparent and the launch process was great.
Your project management was also excellent and very helpful. I live in Boston and was in my third trimester of pregnancy during the sale. You took care of big details and small details in a thorough and trustworthy manner. You and Holly were always available and responsive throughout. You really took a lot of the pressure off and made the sale process easy. We had tenants in the apartment and you handled them beautifully, even when it really wasn’t easy!
Finally, you really heard me, as a seller. You understood my priorities and worked with them, which made me feel supported and led to a successful result.
Testimonial from Jaclyn and Kevin
Working with Joel and his team was a pleasure. I feel lucky to have had his advice during a difficult time in our lives. Joel has worked with my husband and I on the sale of two homes and the purchase of one. He is transparent and direct--and I felt very comfortable with his frank approach. In fact, one of his best qualities was the lack of "smarminess" that I usually associate with realtors!
Joel spent a good deal of time working with us before the sale of both of our houses. He was very thorough on going over what needed to be done to sell the house (suggestions and explanations)-- he definitely (and very tactfully) explained what tweaks would make it more "buyer attractive”. Joel is an EXPERT at staging homes and in taking photos. . .my husband and I cherished the photos he took of our home because we could not get over how lovely it looked. Also, his marketing is top notch--our home was even featured in trade publications and our open house (dead of winter and housing market slump be damned) had over 100 people trooping through.
On both of the sales he did for me, there were some unexpected surprises (HOA problems, inspectors with scare tactics, problems with buyers bank--you name it). He handled everything with calm, friendly, and prompt assistance and resolved all of the issues and moved us toward a final sale that met our needs…and we had no surprises at closing. This was the best service of all.
