I was lucky to make a good connection with Shane when we met for fist time while touring the apartment. I knew I could truly trust him to guide me through the novel and challenging process ahead as a first-time homebuyer, and consequently, secure the best deal. I really appreciate his expertise and command of the subject, his ability to explain things clearly (and repeat them if necessary!), his great manners, his calm and relaxed demeanor without losing professionalism, and his knack for understanding exactly what I was looking for—as well as the specific needs and concerns of a young expat buying their first home. He always respected my pace as I processed everything. I value immensely the fact that he was present at every stage, working as a true team player, and looking out for my best interests as a buyer to find the option that suited me best. Thanks Shane for all the hard work, as well as the constant guidance and support throughout the process! I am proud to call him both my agent and my friend.

From Day 1, Shirin was proactive and relentless in searching for homes with us, hyper-responsive, knowledgable, and always in our corner. Always honest, even if it wasn't in her best interest. Learned our likes and dislikes and tastes. The exact type of partner you want in the home buying process. We wouldn't think of doing another real estate transaction without her input, and we're now lucky to call her a friend, too!

Working with Sebastien Courret as a real estate agent for the sale of my old house and the purchase of the new house has been a great experience. First of all, I liked his kindness, calmness and professionalism. I could count on his advice for the sale. I really appreciated his patience for the purchase when choices were very difficult to make. Sebastien was always in a good mood. I could contact him at any time. I recommend his services without hesitation to anyone looking for a new home without racking their brains too much. I wish continued success to Sebastien and his clients.

Henry is incredibly responsive and proactive. Whenever an issue came up he was already with a plan B and C. His upbeat attitude makes one of the most stressful moments of your life feel fun and client centered.

As a first-time homebuyer, We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor than Luisa. She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout the entire process. She took the time to answer all of our questions, explained everything clearly, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel much easier and more manageable. We truly felt that she had our best interests at heart every step of the way. We are so grateful for all her hard work and dedication in helping us find our first home. Wish we could give her 10 stars. We highly recommend Luisa to anyone looking to buy a home!

As a first time home buyer, I truly did not know what to expect and I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor than Henry to guide me through the process. No question was ever too small or too silly. Henry answered everything I asked patiently and throughly, and beyond that, he proactively provided information for questions I didn’t even know I needed to ask. That kind of expertise and foresight gave me so much peace of mind during an overwhelming process. What stood out most, in addition to his expertise, was Henry’s patience. There were moments I got frustrated and overwhelmed by the process, but he never rushed me or made me feel like a burden. Instead, he reassured me and kept me focused, reminding me the right home for me was out there. I am now in my dream home, thanks to Henry! If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, patient, and truly invested in your success, I can’t recommend Henry enough!

We have worked with Henry Harries over the past 2 years. He understood the very specific type of property we were looking for and has a deep knowledge of our preferred neighborhoods. Henry showed us some beautiful properties and was very patient with us looking for that perfect choice. When it happened, Henry was our guide from contract negotiations, through to settlement. We couldn't ask for a better friend. Thanks Henry!

Working with Shirin for the second time has once again been an absolutely exceptional experience. This was a complex out-of-state sale involving a my MD property, and she made what could have been a stressful and logistically heavy process feel completely seamless from start to finish. As a remote seller, I initially expected I would need to travel back and forth multiple times to manage staging, furniture removal, and preparation but that was never necessary. Shirin went far above and beyond at every step. She brought in a local agent from her brokerage that turned out to be equally amazing for showing to make sure we could get folks in to see the house quickly. She took full ownership of preparing the home for market, coordinated key renovations, and ensured every detail was handled with care and intention. She even brought in her own staging items to elevate the presentation of the home, which made a noticeable difference in how the property showed. Her eye for detail and presentation is truly outstanding. The marketing execution was also incredible! The photos were beautiful and really showcased the home at its absolute best. She was able to lean on the Engel & Völkers team where needed, ensuring nothing fell through the cracks and everything stayed on track. This sale ended up being more involved than originally expected, but Shirin adapted effortlessly, stayed proactive, and kept everything moving smoothly toward a successful outcome. Most importantly, I never once had to travel back or worry about what was happening on the ground because I had complete trust in her. There was also a sweet reward in working with her again, which made this experience even more meaningful. I would highly recommend Shirin to anyone looking for a realtor who is not only highly skilled, strategic, and responsive but truly invested in her clients and willing to go above and beyond in every possible way.

**Three Listings: 4333 Nebraska Ave | 1538 Swann St | 1072 Thomas Jefferson** Shirin is the only DC realtor we will ever work with! She epitomizes professionalism, commitment and knowledge of the of the DC real estate market. Her attention to detail navigating the nuances of the TOPA process, detailed status reports and endless connections amongst DC’s international, academia and professional communities sets her far apart from the many average realtors in the DMV. However, it is her never-ending ability to solve problems, tireless work ethic and willingness to roll up her sleeves that makes her the only partner we will choose to manage our family real estate holdings. Whether negotiating with foreign investors or 1st time buyers, Shirin is impeccable in her thorough approach. She assisted us through a stressful offering of a $5MM+ landmark property in Georgetown and dealt with our tenant groups as adeptly as she did with prospective buyers, never floundering in her commitment to our short and long term interests. She is a force to be reconned with we were grateful to have on our side! We are forever grateful and cannot thank her enough or recommend her more highly!

Nicholas was an excellent communicator and was available through text, call, and email. He was always quick to respond. He was able to help us navigate a market that was unfamiliar to us and answer the many questions we had. He was very professional and we appreciate everything he did to help us buy our first home!
