I contacted Giovanna months in advance to sell a property and she advised me on the different options available to me for selling it and their pros and cons. Giovanna represented me professionally, I made all the decisions during the negotiation with her advice, I felt confident, everything went smoothly and as planned. Giovanna communicates clearly and complied on time with her tasks. I was satisfied and happy!

Carmen and I have completed our fifth home real estate adventure together. As in the past, every step of the process moved seamlessly. She and her team are always available to assist in any way possible. The reminder emails showing next steps in the process are invaluable. Her knowledge of the area and of my requirements are so in sync that I have purchased properties sight unseen via video tours and have never felt disappointed on move-in day. Over the years, our relationship has developed into a solid friendship.

Working with Giovanna was an absolute pleasure. From start to finish, she made the process of selling our property incredibly smooth and stress-free. Giovannas professionalism and easy-going nature were truly refreshing. She was always available to answer our questions and address any concerns, making the entire experience hassle-free. Her reliability and expertise were evident throughout the entire process. Giovanna took care of everything we needed to get our property sold quickly and efficiently. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor. If you're looking for someone who combines professionalism with a relaxed, supportive approach, Giovanna is the perfect choice. Highly recommend!

As a homeowner, you naturally think that your house is worth several million dollars. We did, but after discounting all the happy memories that our home has provided us during the last 24 years - watching the kids grow, having friends over, enjoying the outside trees as the season changes, and watching the sunset (I've told friends that was part of our mortgage) - we've come to a more realistic approach. There was only one "realtor" for us and that is Carmen Fontecilla of Compass Group. We're so glad that we listened to her advice and we have no regrets at all. Carmen has her pulse on the market - especially the Hampshire Greens market. Hampshire Greens is Carmen's "playground". We firmly believe that we priced it right thereby getting several offers in 4 days and subsequently settling with a price higher than we asked for. We can't believe how fast things happened but then again Carmen worked her "magic" and here we are furiously packing and preparing to move to sunshine state! We can attest that Carmen truly had our best interest at heart. She was serving as part "therapist" when things got so stressful and we had a million questions. Of course, she calmed us down and offered recommendations on how to deal with the dilemma at hand. She was even coordinating timing with our realtor for the new house to ensure that everything fit perfectly. Thank you, Carmen, for an awesome job!! Angie and Virgil

There are not enough good things for us to say about Luis to get across how seamless he made our home buying experience. First off, Luis responsiveness is unmatched. He would respond to us any day, any time, about any topic. He never made us feel bad for asking (very possibly stupid) questions, but instead met us with a positive attitude and an attentive ear. We also realized quickly that Luis has a Rolodex FULL of valuable contacts, resources and relationships. He set up our inspection within 48 hours, chased home improvement quotes for us with same day turn around times, and helped us settle only a short walk from our previous home. We were able to trust with 100% confidence that Luis was doing all he could, and always keeping our best interests at the forefront of every decision he made and recommendation he offered. Anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the DMV should look no further than Luis, he will get it done!
