We are absolutely overjoyed with the home buying and selling experiences we concluded with CK Residential Group! Karen Miller and Cathy Howell make a truly exceptional team of real estate professionals who have proven to us theyre the best in the business. Karen served as our primary agent in both our recent transactions, while searching for a new home and selling our old one. As a retired couple with specific requirements and wishes for a home in the same community at Lansdowne Woods Virginia, it took us nearly two years and numerous showings before Karen found the one we were looking for. She consistently demonstrated a desire to fully understand our (sometimes changing) needs and exhibited an exceptional amount of persistence and diligence during our search. Leveraging her significant experience, especially with the idiosyncrasies found at LWVA, she was able to point out subtle things that we would have missed but turned out to be important considerations in our decision-making. When we finally decided to present an offer, she acted immediately and provided us knowledgeable advice to ensure our offer was fair and competitive. Her comprehensive follow-up and solid recommendations during settlement and financing were invaluable. Karen also expertly represented us during our home sale which was seriously complicated by our absence due to a long-planned vacation overseas. Prior to our departure Karen consulted with us on readying our home for sale and setting a competitive price. She put into action a sales strategy that resulted in two solid offers within three days of hitting the market, including a minor bidding war that resulted in achieving significantly more than we anticipated. She and her colleagues at CK Residential Group worked seamlessly with our POA and the settlement firm to advocate for us and ensure a smooth transaction all the while keeping us well informed from afar. CK Residential Group made our buying and selling process smooth and easy and helped us understand what was happening every step of the way. We consider ourselves extremely lucky to have had them as our realtor! We enthusiastically and highly recommend them to everyone seeking to buy or sell their home in Northern Virginia. We are extremely grateful to them for helping us find our beautiful home. John and Jae S.

It was our good fortune to have worked with Cathy Howell on three separate home transactions, both as buyer and seller, and again as parents of the buyer after we recommended her to our daughter. Simply stated, she is the best. Her knowledge of the area is superb. She can read market trends better than anyone we?ve worked with. If there?s a problem, she works hard to solve it. She is honest and straightforward. Cathy takes the stress out of buying or selling a home. In our opinion, ?Nobody does it better!?. Needless to say, we highly recommend Cathy Howell without reservations.

Cathy never gave up on finding our home in this intensely competition market. She has patience with a capital P. I made numerous phone calls to Cathy and all were answered promptly. I would gladly recommend Cathy and Karen to family or friends
