We loved Dare, and would highly recommend her to anyone selling a home. She helped us with our home sale on Capitol Hill, from beginning to end. She managed the renovation of our home, including getting multiple bids from contractors, many of whom she had previously worked for before and could vouch for. She suggested a home inspector we liked a lot. We ended up being extremely satisfied with the work that was done.We loved her attitude and approach. She was confident, and helped us move forward, without pressuring us unnecessarily. She was nonjudgmental. She gave us space when we needed. We felt like she was letting us make decisions, but also was willing to sit in the driver's seat as much as we needed. She spent tons and tons of her time -- much more than we would have expected from her. She told us beforehand that she enjoyed managing renovation projects, and it was clear that she did. She came by the property frequently during the renovations, to check on how things were going.She took the lead in marketing the home, and in negotiating the sale for us. The sale price ended up exceeding our expectations.We'd work with her again without hesitation.

Dare represented me and my partner as the Seller. We were impressed by how quickly she set everything in motion once we decided to list the property for sale, and she and her team made smooth sailing of the journey to closing. We were uncertain about the impact of the pandemic on the market value of our downtown condo, but Dare was spot on regarding the days on the market and the top sales price we could expect. She not only had excellent instincts, but she also backed up her recommendations with research. Our well-placed confidence in Dare was the key in overcoming our doubts about certain aspects of the Buyers offer. She anticipated our questions and gave us frank advice. We never doubted she was a true professionalaEUR"she helped us assess the market value of our home almost 2 years ago when we first contemplated selling our property, even though we werent ready to list at that time, and when we more recently became ready to list the property, she suggested we delay by a few months until market conditions improved. This demonstrated to us that Dare had our best interests at heart and wasnt simply out to make a quick commission. Dares team echoed her top-notch serviceaEUR"they were thorough, professional, responsive, and communicative. We highly recommend Dare without any reservations!

If you want an expert with wonderful relationships throughout the real estate network, Dare is your gal! Especially in this unprecedentedly competitive real estate market, Dare patiently and steadfastly worked with us to find our home and her stellar reputation and relationships in the DC real estate community no doubt gave us a leg up in the offer process. She's very responsive to messages, quick to not only get access to the houses, but by the time you show up to look around she's already gotten the scoop on the house and the buying/selling circumstances which allowed us to have a complete picture as we were contemplating if it was the right spot for us.However, her greatest asset is her reputation throughout the real estate community. Realtors love working with Dare, which gives her buyers a leg-up when entering an offer process. We have heard horror stories about others' home buying experiences, but thanks to Dare and her wonderful experience and relationships, we had a dream home buying experience that allowed us to stay in our desired location AND our desired budget. Thank you Dare and the entire Compass team!!

I could not have asked for a better agent than Dare. On top of being a first time homebuyer, I was also buying a home in Washington from a different state and during a pandemic. Dare connected me with my lender, did an excellent job at selecting properties to show me on my house hunting trip, put together a fair and competitive offer, and helped to guide me through the closing process when we hit a snag due to a title issue. She was patient and flexible throughout the process, and I would not hesitate to use her again or recommend her to a friend looking to buy or sell property.

My husband and I were renters in Capitol Hill and love it. We were unsure if wed be able buy a home on the Hill that met our needs and our budget. Dare took on the challenge and helped us find what we were looking for! Dare brought her amazing network and creativity to the search. She was straight forward and honest in guiding us through the process. We both really enjoyed working with her.

Dare is the absolute best!! I still can't believe I got randomly matched with her on here. Even though I was looking in a lower price range and I'm young, she never acted like I was less important than clients buying at a higher price. She was responsive, showed me homes all over DC, and referred me to a lender who gave me an excellent rate. I just closed on a condo in DC as a 22-year-old with no cosign with her and the lender's help.

Working with Dare on the purchase of our first home was an absolutely wonderful experience. She took the time to listen to what my wife and I were looking for, and put a lot of time and energy into finding us the exact right home in the Capitol Hill area. She's a pleasure to work with, was incredibly patient in answering all of our questions, and is incredibly knowledgeable about the local real estate market. We had been passively looking at the market for several years, but after first meeting Dare, we had closed on the home of our dreams within about four months. We strongly recommend Dare to everyone we know!

This sale was a really big deal for us and we wanted to make sure we made the best choice in an agent. My wife and I have both bought and sold several homes and have dealt with good and not so good agents. We interviewed several agents and Dare was the only one with a truly creative marketing approach and pricing strategy. Immediately upon hiring Dare we had strong buyer interest. Unfortunately, the sale was not as easy as we expected with two contracts falling apart at the last minute. But Dare remained positive and diligent and we ultimately sold at a good price and within our time frame. "Full Service" is an understatement as Dare provided referrals for movers, stagers, liquidators, maintenance crews- whatever we needed to get the home sold and have a smooth move. She provided sage advice at every turn and is a delight to work with. Highly recommended.
