Cedric Stewart

Mr. Stewart was prompt, knowledgeable professional and accessible. Mr. Stewart and his team met the impossible demand of having repairs and staging completed on my home in 1 1/2 weeks to get it prepared for sale. I travel frequently for work, so Mr. Stewart and his team made sure that the projected timeline for completion of said projects remained on track despite my absence at times. After the home was prepared for sale, Mr. Stewart?s knowledge of the market as well as previous sales in my area, helped him to list my property at a competitive and fair sale point. Real estate agents can often be labeled as less than truthful, or only preoccupied with getting the most money for a property even at the loss of integrity. That ideology or label does not apply to Mr. Stewart and his team. Mr. Stewart listed the home and utilized the open house approach for a specified number of hours over a two day period. He was very conscious of Covid regulations and made the effort to not inconvenience me in my home for an extended period of time with showings. Due to Mr. Stewart?s suggested repairs and staging of the home, I was able to sell the property 3 days after it was listed for sale. I received 5% over the asking price with no contingencies. In addition to the sale of my property, Mr. Stewart facilitated the purchase of a new construction home as my next purchase. Without Mr. Stewart?s aggressive and knowledgeable approach to the new construction process/arena, I may have missed out on my forever home. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Stewart and his company for any and all of your real estate needs. The professionalism, care and attention Mr. Stewart provided was second to none.

This was our 2nd time working with Cedric, a.k.a - the magic man. He had previously helped us purchase our first home back in 2016. This time around he was helping us sell our first home as well as buy our new home - BOTH AT THE SAME TIME! There arent enough good things to say about Cedric and his work ethic, his expertise, his knowledge, and his personality. As soon as we started the process to buy and sell, Cedric went above and beyond to help us find our dream home and put our mind at ease about selling our current home. He was there at each prospective home we wanted to see, walking us through the home and sharing his thoughts on every question/every query we asked. He treats you like family and will speak his mind (if you ask for his opinion). That is one quality we feel that makes him stand above the rest. He is polite and does not play favorites. He is always looking out for his customers and helps them see things that they might usually miss (chalk that up to his 20 years of experience and expertise). He is extremely diligent and is methodical in his approach. He never misses a deadline and always ensures that all his paperwork and processes are in order and beyond immaculate. He has excellent interpersonal skills and is an excellent negotiator that makes working with him a pleasure and a breeze. We cannot thank him enough for helping us through this difficult, life changing process and making it look so effortless and seamless. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!

I cannot thank Cedric enough for helping my partner and I navigate through the arduous NACA process and purchase our home in record time. He is extremely knowledgeable about the market, was always very responsive to our needs, and consistently looked out for our best interests. I highly recommend Cedric.

Cedric was a Godsend! He was an amazing realtor! We worked with him for two years. We started looking for a home and decided to wait. When we decided to look again he was just as enthusiastic to help us in our home search. He was prompt in helping us look for our homes and used his expertise to guide and consult our needs. Even after we decide to walk away from a home, he provided all of the options and consequences. Afterwards we decide to continue looking for a home immediately and Cedric was sending homes to us within days. He is professional, prompt and very knowledge about the home buying process. He was a great comfort in the closing process! Even after we moved in, he was available for questions that we had. I highly recommend Cedric to guide you through your home buying process!

We were so happy to have gotten to work with Cedric! He came to us highly recommended. He and his team were a very good match for us. Wed never sold a house before, had to move in a hurry for a new job, and have a toddler - overwhelming. We were very intimidated by all we had to do, but everything worked out perfectly. We found a house we love, quickly, and we sold our old house in a week! He offered us incredibly useful advice about how to prepare our home to go on the market, and it clearly paid off. We couldnt be happier.

As first time home buyers, my husband and I set out to purchase our dream home. We knew we wanted something that would be a good fit for our family of five for many, many years to come. After working with a couple of realtors who were either a bit too aggressive or did not communicate enough with us to help us understand the process (which can be quite extensive), we found Cedric and were comforted by the many wonderful reviews he had on Zillow. He and his team were simply amazing! They explained everything to us every step of the way, they listened to our input and did not discount it just because we were novices, they negotiated well on our behalf and got us the best deal possible, they helped us locate quality contractors and stayed on top of all of the dates and disclosures (too many to count). They made the process so smooth and simple for us. If there was one word that I had to use to describe Cedric it would be thorough! He was thorough and left no stone unturned and as a result we purchased not just a home we liked, but a home we loved...the home of our dreams! We are eternally grateful! If you hire Cedric, you are not just hiring a real estate agent, but someone who will come alongside you and guide you each and every step of the way. Trust me, you will be beyond satisfied with the work he does on your behalf and will be walking into your very own dream home soon!

I discovered Cedric when I was in search of a realtor that had knowledge about the NACA program. I was immediately impressed with what I saw on his website, as well as, the other reviews that I read about him. Fast forward to our first meeting in October 2017 - and I see why hes such a hot commodity. Cedric was prompt, professional, interested about my needs/wants and he was impeccably dressed. I had hoped to work with a professional, knowledgeable, driven and encouraging individual - and he met ALL of my requirements. Since Im a reader, I read ALL of the documents, disclosures, emails, etc. Then, I was that person with 50-11 questions lol. Cedric would always respond promptly with answers to my questions. I appreciate his passion and the fact that I always felt like he didnt have one million other clients/things to do. Cedric made sure to give his undivided attention on site visits and on the phone. We saw numerous homes before I settled on the one to place an offer. While it got a little stressful for me, Cedric remained patient and optimistic at all times. This is commendable! Theres so much more that can be said, but Ill end with, if youre in search of a reputable, knowledgeable, driven, pleasant, caring, prompt, no nonsense realtor - Mr. Cedric Stewart is the man for the job! In four short months, I met him, was pre-qualified for a loan, started the home search and closed on my home on February 14, 2018. I wouldnt change ANYTHING about my experience with Cedric. I was/am thoroughly satisfied - and Ive already started referring folks to him!!

This is our second dance with Cedric. The first was our latest home purchase in 2015. This time, we were attempting to sell a rental property we owned. Buying and selling require different logic so we knew we needed a partner to assist with navigating a sale. Cedric is a true partner. We had concerns and fears around a number of things including closing costs, improvement investments, how long it would be on the market, etc. He alleviated every single concern and brought to light things we hadnt considered but needed to while addressing those too. Weve known Cedric since purchasing our forever home so that also made this experience much easier than stories Ive heard from friends and colleagues. He knew our style and we were aware of his ability so we KNEW he had our best interest in mind. He had suggestions on what we needed to do to present the home in its best light and his network is so vast he has trusted partners that are affordable and high in quality. We are a busy family(2 careers, active 8 year old and a special needs 4 year old)so time is limited and we can be slow to respond due to our priorities. Cedric understood and never rushed us which helps a lot because of the gravity of the decisions you have to make in this process. Hes not pushy or focused on his own benefit. Like I said, hes a true partner throughout this process. Our house went on the market on a Monday. We had two offers WELL ABOVE our asking price by Friday. In under 7 total days, we went to market received two offers and accepted one. We were in complete awe how quickly this went. We had plans in case this took months but not once in any scenario we evaluated did we realistically expect something to happen in under a full week! But thats a testament of Cedrics ability. He does the research, he consults based on facts and experience while keeping your needs/wishlist as the top priority. If youre in the market to buy or sell, youre not going to find a better partner to help you navigate that is on the level of Mr. Cedric Stewart. Do yourself a favor, stop reading and researching realtors any further, this is the partner youve been dreaming of.

Cedric and his team were very helpful with the home buying process. As a first time home buyer, they walked me through the whole process and made sure I was comfortable and knowledgeable about all decisions that were made. I would definitely recommend him to anybody in the DMV area especially if they are using the NACA program.

When searching for a realtor, many questions come to mind. Will they push me into a home I dont want so they can get paid? Will they make the time to help me see properties after work? Will they understand how to find a home for unique situations? Will they try to get me to spend my max budget so they can get a higher cut? There are SO MANY QUESTIONS! There are SO MANY CONCERNS! Buying a home can be a terrifying experience in itself - without even thinking about adding a realtor to the mix. Thankfully, the fears of my husband and I were eased with Cedric and Kris by our side. We came across a posting for NACA on Facebook. We had recently enrolled in the NACA program and were looking for more information. We found Cedric and Kris in March of 2017. Kris is the NACA expert on this team and spent months working with us on finding a home. Ultimately, after giving it the old college try, we decided that NACA was not the best program for our family. We contacted Cedric to pickup where we left off. After meeting with about 3 other realtors since 2014, we were nervous. We were hoping to find someone to actually understand what we needed instead of pushing us where they wanted us to go. We had a unique situation. We essentially wanted an income property for us to live in for the next 5-7 years. The most important factors were cost, potential return on investment, and that there was adequate space for my family to live comfortably right now. Cedric met with us several times and always made himself available to us. He was patient with our needs, understanding when we voiced potential concerns, and went out of his way to ensure that we were satisfied. On the homes that we attempted to put in offers, he ensured that we took our time and thought about the decision before acting. This was a blessing as weve had others attempt to rush us into acting. Cedric met us on rainy days, on sunny days, on summer weekends when he shouldve been with his family, and even on a few evenings when we knew we wouldnt be available on the weekend... He was extremely accommodating. He made himself available to panic phone calls, random question texts, and even a multitude of emails (talking over 100). Even when we considered going above our budget, he helped us to remain realistic. After home searching since 2014, my husband and I had our mind made up on a lot of things that we wanted, at times, offering lower than recommended. Cedric explained the risks, the potential outcome, and still respected our decision - even when we went against what he recommended. He fought for us on every deal even when he disagreed with the risks we took. We spent the entire summer and fall searching and making offers on potentials. We revisited our must haves a thousand times. The market was limited, homes were overpriced - true sellers market. Thankfully, after a long process - we found our home this fall. We offered much less than what was recommended for a fully renovated home. Cedric took the time to ask why and how we arrived at the number. After explaining, he fully understood our stance and fought tooth and nail for us to come to an agreement with the seller. We were able to find a mutual agreement and purchased our home at $24k less than the original list price. The home even appraised at $10k more than what we paid for it! The journey was still not over! We had a few issues with inspections and Cedric worked tirelessly to ensure that the seller did the right thing and fixed our must haves. Even AFTER the purchase, there were/are a few issues with things that had to be fixed in our home. Cedric kept and is keeping in contact with us on progress, expectations, and ensuring that the seller fixes everything she agreed to fix and any issues that arose from those fixed items. After a few panic calls about the 3rd inspection, he was even able to get the seller to agree to a 1 year home warranty for FREE!!! What more can I say? Cedric is knowledgeable, patient, and pretty darn great at his chosen profession. If we had to do this again, our only wish is that we couldve met Cedric sooner! If you are looking for someone open minded, extremely intelligent, and someone who wont rest until he helps you find exactly what you need - look no further- Cedric is the man for the job! At this point, we consider him a friend and look forward to our next purchase with him in the next 5-10 years.
