Chris Dudley

My fiancA(C) and I worked with Chris to buy our first house. He was very informative and always responded quickly to any and all questions we had. We always felt like he had our best interest at heart and he always gave us great advice. Home buying was a very new and overwhelming process for us, but having Chris as a resource definitely helped put us at ease. We were able to close on our house very quickly! We would definitely recommend Chris as a realtor!

We worked with several agents before meeting Chris. They were all fine, but chris is the whole package. We chose Chris for three compelling reasons. First, he has expansive, professional knowledge of house quality, especially when you decide to buy a single family house. He is probably a better aEURoehome inspectoraEUR? than many home inspectors. He knows which house should be avoided, which is safe to move into. Second, when we decide to give an offer, he was very honest with us and advocated benefits to us rather than benefits to an agent. He let us know when houses were overvalued and helped make sure we did not overbid.Third, Chriss team was also highly efficient and professional. It took us less than three weeks to close by VA loan. And we got a relatively lower interest rate compared to other lenders. Also, the home inspector, the escrow company are nice and very responsible.

When we relocated to the DC area, we worked with Chris first to find a rental and later to purchase a home. During both experiences, Chris was amazing, working tirelessly to find options in a market that was competitive for both rentals and home purchases. He was patient, listened to our needs, never pressured us, and was understanding when we backed out of deals after having second thoughts. Having been through several real estate transactions, I wish that all agents advocated for their clients as well as Chris!

I am a first time home owner who was very fortunate to have Chris assigned (gifted) to me by the lender. He is very knowledgeable, personable, and goes above and beyond for his clients. Despite my small budget, he managed to help me get an outstanding place in DC that did not require me spending too much out of pocket. This is due to him knowing all of the tricks in the book like seller credits to cover closing costs. As far as his dedication to the clients, he drove from his home to DC when I was unable to make the home inspection. He is still very well engaged with his current or previous customers and hosts lots of events for them in his home. I do not feel that 5 stars is enough.

Highly recommend. This is the 2nd time my wife and I have used Chris, the first for the sale of my condo in NoVa and most recently for the purchase of our new home in DC. The fact that we called him up a second time should be all you need to know. Chris is consummately responsive, knowledgeable and candid in his dealings, all of which are necessary in todays unprecedented housing market. For first time homebuyers, Chris is a great resource to navigate you through the seemingly daunting process. Whether on the buy or sell side, Chris will make certain you are getting the best terms on your contract that the market can bear. Moreover, Chris is a bloodhound when trying to find potential issues with every property you elect to view in person (structural, water damage, termites, aging systems etc.) which keeps you grounded in an otherwise emotional process. All packaged with a lovely British accent. Well done Chris and see you for when it comes time to sell!

My husband and I were absolutely thrilled with the real estate services provided by Chris. He does everything you would want, plus goes the extra mile for you!Of the realtors we reached out to, Chris was the fastest in responding and setting up a day to tour homes. And throughout the time we have worked with him, he has consistently shown a promptness in responding. The home we ultimately purchased was one we simply wandered into on an open house. Although Chris was out showing houses to another client, he was adamant that he see the house before we put an offer in. Once he finished with his other client, being respectful of their time, he quickly came over (within 30 minutes or less) to see the house while we were still there. After guiding us in what would make a strong offer and scheduling a pre-inspection for the next morning, Chris had an offer ready the evening of the inspection.As first-time home buyers, Chris has also been a wonderful resource. He has a keen eye to the condition of a home and shows you what to be on the lookout for. He has also taught us how to maintain our new home. He has put us in contact with the necessary people to move the house-buying process forward aEUR" lenders, title agencies, insurance agents, movers, and more aEUR" but never with the pressure that we need to work with them.We greatly appreciated Chriss honesty and trustworthiness. He never pressured us to buy and was happy to go at our pace. We also enjoyed the personalized video messages that accompanied several of Chriss emails.We would be super happy to recommend Chris to anyone needing a realtor.

Our family relocated to the DC area from out of state. Chris was absolutely wonderful, going above and beyond. He coordinated a week-long house hunt prior to us selling our home in Georgia and then again after our arrival in the DC area. He was very thorough while we were walking through homes, taking the time to check out HVAC systems, water heaters, and electrical panels, as well as checking for other problems. We were in a competing offer situation on our intended home and he compiled the most incredible, concise offer the other realtor had ever seen (thus winning the bid). We highly recommend Chris.

Chris was great to work with. He knew the area well and has an attention to details which made it easier to eliminate some properties off our list. Chris is knowledgeable in pointing out potential flaws with a property (ex. mold smell, poor home layout, or poor craftsmanship etc) which were valuable for us considering we were buying a home from out of state. In addition, he was able to formulate detailed addendum which helped with the final contract in order to get things completed by the builder. Chris was also very timely in his response and capable of amending contracts fast.

It has been a pleasure working with Chris in my purchase of a newly constructed town home. He has been very helpful in many ways. His assertiveness on my behalf ensured my place in my dream community. His attention to detail was instrumental in the home inspection which was only seven days before closing.I also appreciate Chris's wit which cuts the tension in a pretty stressful process.

We were transferred here during the pandemic and crazy real estate market. We first met Chris at a new property we were interested in. We were anxious to tour it and Chris made himself available so we could tour that day. As much as we loved the community we didn't want to spend 6 months in temporary housing during construction. Over the next 3 weeks Chris showed us multiple properties. This involved creative scheduling due to the pandemic and buyer interest. But we saw everything we were interested in, often waiting in line outside the home for our 15 minute time slot and Chris was right there with us. Chris was super knowledgeable regarding the markets and the market values of these resale homes. Ultimately we decided to build in the new community we fell in love with. Despite it being a new build Chris remained very involved in our entire experience. He was present during our design meetings, behind the walls, and settlement. Chris was helpful in pointing out many things we didn't see/consider during this process without stepping on our toes. We would highly recommend Chris and would not hesitate to use him again should the need arise. Though we're hoping to stay put for awhile.
