Dereje was incredibly professional and attentive throughout the entire process of selling my home. His market knowledge and negotiation skills helped me get a great price quickly. He was always available to answer questions and guided me through every step. I highly recommend Dereje to anyone looking to sell their property.

Dereje stood out with his dedication and tirelessly pushing for success of the transaction. He took the time to understand my preferences, evident when he found a home in a bustling and fast growing neighborhood close to metro and in prime location, matching my wishlist. Will definitely recommend Dereje to any buyer

This is my first time selling a property and no knowledge of how the selling process work. He guided me thru the process and always available himself when I have questions. He also provide me the price of houses sold in my area for comparison purpose and that help to set the price of my house. He also advised me how to prepare the house for sale and handle the sale of the house very smoothly by collaborating with the buyer agent.

From finding Yelena on a random search on Google, she was very personable and honest about how she operated. She gave me facts and figures to come up with a good selling price and she went to work quickly on getting the property up on the market. She is very specific on what needed to be done. And all the while I never felt forced or pressured to do anything that was beyond my capacity. I felt very taken care of and informed about what was going on. Within days, of the house being cleared, she put it on the market and immediately had showings. I did not feel the obligation to do any work outside of my skill level because she had it all taken care of. She even took the time to contact a solar company that made the sale take a little bit longer than it should. When we finally had a prospective buyer, she made sure that we were taking the best offer. She has way of laying out all the options for you so that everything makes sense. Nothing was ever missing from her explanations and emails. She definitely takes the time to make sure that all the details are ironed out so that you can have a stress-free sale. However, it was the buyers that made the process difficult. We ended up finally closing the sale of the home 3 WEEKS after its initial closing date due to complications with the buyer's lending company. But even during that hold up, Yelena managed to walk me through the next steps by practicing patience over haste. She explained it detail why the delay was occurring and always kept me informed via phone call, text, and email. And through it all, she assured me that she would stick by your side until the sale was complete. I never felt like she was going to give up on me even when the buyers kept prolonging the process. What made it so wonderful to work with her is that she looks at you with a sincerity that she will accompany you through a monumental decision. She knows how important and life-changing the sale of a house is.

We cannot recommend Cathy highly enough. After a difficult experience with a previous agent, we went into this process with real trepidation, especially given how competitive the Vienna, VA market is, with very little inventory and intense buyer demand. Cathy immediately put us at ease and proved to be an exceptional advocate from day one. She skillfully navigated a fast-moving situation, built a strong and professional working relationship with the seller’s agent, and handled several challenging negotiations with confidence and diplomacy. Thanks to her expertise and responsiveness, we went from offer to closing in about two weeks, no small feat in this market. Cathy also moved quickly to secure an outstanding inspector and ensured the inspection process was smooth and thorough. Even after closing, she has gone above and beyond, continuing to help us with upgrades and providing thoughtful guidance every step of the way. Cathy is incredibly knowledgeable about Vienna, Fairfax County, Washington, DC, and the surrounding Maryland markets, highly responsive, and deeply committed to her clients We recommend her 100% and would not hesitate to work with her again.
