I cannot say enough good things about Carmen and her team! They seamlessly helped my husband and I navigate the process as first time home buyers and helped us secure our dream home. Carmen is very knowledgeable (from years of experiencing knowing the market and with her background in civil engineering), hard working, responsive, patient, and best of all, compassionate! We highly recommend Carmen and her team.

Michelle helped my fiance and I buy our first house together. We vetted several realtors, but after meeting with her we instantly knew we wanted to proceed forward with her. What sets Michelle apart from other realtors is her ability to be extremely personable while being a consummate professional. In my experience, individuals may excel in one category or the other, but Michelle excels in both. She was incredibly timely and responsive. She set up tours for us and submitted same-day offers on multiple occasions. She was incredibly patient with my fiance and I as we figured out what we wanted for our purchase. Michelle showed us 10+ homes and gave us valuable insight and her honest opinion throughout the entire process. Using various contingencies strategically, Michelle helped us craft a competitive offer that ultimately beat out all the others. We are very grateful to have had the pleasure of working with her for our first purchase, and we hope to continue to work with her as we grow our portfolio in the years to come.

I bought my first home with Laura in April 2022 and I am so glad I did. I highly and sincerely recommend you consider working with Laura Bach! She was kind and thoughtful from start to finish. My mother and brother both commented that they would have loved to have "the Laura Bach" experience as their realtor in their recent home purchasing endeavors. Laura shared her career long expertise and experience with me but given the Covid-19 pandemic and market trends at the time we were looking, she shared historical and up to date context to help me make choices to get to my first home! She accommodated me and my busy work schedule by communicating with me by email, phone, text and video chat, in whichever method worked for me at that moment. She was fun to work with; a joy to be around. After looking at several properties, she learned more about my wants and needs and we were able to eliminate properties that I may have been reluctant to let go of, if I did not trust her so sincerely.Laura also helped my family participate in my home search long distance. She helped me video chat parts of the homes we were touring while I spent time in the home. I think spoiled was the way I felt when all was said in done, because she seemed to be always there to answer a question about an offer or to support me as I thought through another search list. I am grateful that with Lauran, I truly felt supported.I have limited mobility that caused viewing some homes to be more difficult and it caused running up and down stairs or spending time looking at a home to be often tiring or even emotionally and physically tasking. Laura was patient, and truly took these needs into account as we searched through listings and as we navigating viewings. I felt comfortable and respected as my search expanded for a few months.Laura became a friend while I was preparing to make one of the most important decisions I am going to make for some time. I really believe she was hoping to set me up for success in a home I would love. And she did.I hope everyone can have a "Laura Bach" on their side and for those of you looking to buy a home or sell a home here in the DC/MD area, you can! She is responsive, professional, courteous, fun and she will get you to your goal. Even on my closing day, I felt she really had my back, was cheering me on and looking out for me. I suggest you call her or message her now. You will not be sorry.

My partner and I were lucky enough to work with Carmen and her team as first-time home buyers. It goes without saying that we would not have been as successful in this turbulent market without them, but it may not be overstating it to say that we may also not have survived this process!Out of all of the realtors we researched and interviewed, Carmen simply blew us away with her expertise, approach and attitude. She asked incisive and pointed questions to figure out what we were looking for, showed infinite patience with our questions, and developed a comprehensive plan to pursue both "starter homes" and "forever homes" in varying parts of the area. She set up an "orientation tour" and showed us several homes that we were interested in across the entire county (I think seven in one afternoon, in addition to two open houses we went to alone). When a new home of interest came on the market later in the week, Carmen made sure we could see it right away (even though she herself was out of town due to a family situation), scheduled an immediate but comprehensive pre-inspection before the offer deadline, helped us understand the disclosures and other considerations as to whether we should submit an offer. Once we decided to move on the house, she helped us develop an attractive offer. She stayed up late with us past 10 PM as the sellers considered multiple offers and eventually selected ours!Once our offer was selected, Carmen's experience shined through, working with us and our lender to ensure that we were ready for a very quick close in less than a month. She and her team helped us understand all of the documentation and made us comfortable with that turnaround. When we found that the (new) refrigerator wasn't working at walkthrough, Carmen worked with her realtor counterpart to ensure that a solution was reached and the refrigerator was repaired/replaced. When we were unavailable, Carmen showed up to our house and monitored the delivery and installation, keeping us in the loop the entire time. Once we scheduled the movers and moved in, she continues to check on us and offering tips and good cheer.We could not be happier with our selection of Carmen and her team, and with our new home. While we primarily worked with Carmen directly as her client, special appreciation goes to Michelle and Laura for stepping in and showing us homes when Carmen had to leave town at the last minute, and to Heather and Isabel for being responsive and patient with all of the process and documentation. While we intend to stay in this house for a very long time, if we ever have any realtor needs, Carmen will be our first call. She should be yours, too!

Luis is a great realtor whom I would recommend to family and friends. This was my first time buying a home, so I had many questions throughout the process. Luis was very (literally, at all times of the day) responsive to all of my inquiries, he not only acted as my realtor but also a friend. I knew that I was making sound and safe decisions within every step with Luis by my side. That is why I would recommend Luis to anyone looking to buy a home, especially if you are a first time homebuyer!
