What clients say about this agent....
We had a wonderful experience selling our home with Donna and her team. They provided detailed information and made it easy every step of the way! Would highly recommend for anyone looking to sell in the area.
As first-time homebuyers, my partner and I were initially overwhelmed by the complexity of the home-buying process. But then we met Jim, our incredible realtor, who turned this daunting experience into a seamless and enjoyable journey. I feel compelled to share our remarkable experience and wholeheartedly recommend Jim to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, dedicated, and compassionate real estate professional. From the very beginning, Jim demonstrated an unwavering commitment to understanding our needs and preferences. His exceptional availability and responsiveness made us feel like we were his only clients. He tirelessly arranged home viewings, even on short notice, and his extensive knowledge of the local market helped us find the perfect home that met all our criteria. Jims expertise didnt end with finding our dream home; he was there to guide us every step of the way. He patiently and thoroughly answered all our questions, ensuring that we were well informed and comfortable with each decision we made. His warm and personable approach created an atmosphere of trust, which was invaluable during this process. We were particularly impressed with Jims ability to connect us with an exceptional lender and his strong professional network and attention to detail helped us secure a 21-day closing. In summary, Jim is an extraordinary realtor who genuinely cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to ensure a smooth and successful home-buying experience. His wealth of knowledge, unwavering support, and friendly demeanor make him an absolute joy to work with. We cannot recommend Jim highly enough, and we are confident that he will exceed the expectations of anyone fortunate enough to work with him.
Debbie did an excellent job helping us get a co-op in Washington DC. She is very knowledgeable of the real estate market in DMV area and she has great insight in the market and landed us in the place we got (thanks to her recommendation). She was very friendly and never pushy when showing us places but once we decided to buy the place, she pushed to get things done quickly to secure the place and close promptly even during the Christmas/New Year time. She was also great in gathering information from various parties and assisted us in all aspects of closing on the co-op, getting issues resolved throughout the process. We were extremely pleased to have her as our agent.
Jim is a great realtor and a superb human being. As first-time homebuyers, our knowledge of the entire buying process was limited. Jim took the time to walk us through the process step-by-step, patiently answering every possible question we could think of. While touring properties, Jims vast realtor experience was evident. He would, for example, check the boilers manufacturing date or give a second look to a wall if we thought it had water intrusion. He also made us aware of other details that we would have probably overlooked. We understood that Jim had our best interest at heart and we never felt pressured to make an offer if we werent convinced by the property. Once we decided to make an offer, Jim carefully drew up the contract, provided his honest input so that we would be submitting a successful offer and made sure that we understood what was being submitted. In our case, the seller came back with a counter-offer and Jims negotiations skills allowed this part to be as painless as possible.
We had a wonderful experience working with Debbie Kaye at Donna Kerr group. As our realtor, she was organized, completely on top of everything, very friendly and committed to getting us a great home. As first time home buyers, we had a lot of questions along the way, and she was patient and made us feel confident and assured. She helped us think through what we really wanted in a home and prioritized our happiness over the sale. Our eventual purchase went through without a hitch and we couldnt be happier. We trust Debbie and would recommend her to anyone.
Donna and her team were super on top of everything! They provided excellent advice and helped us find a great home quickly. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a home, especially as a first-time homebuyer!
We were extremely fortunate to work with Katina Benenate, who could not have done a better job taking care of us and helping us buy our first dream home. Katina was professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, and extremely human and down to earth. We had NO idea how to navigate the process of buying a home, and she was our steady guide. She gave us valuable suggestions about how to maximize the likelihood that our offer would be accepted, she patiently talked us through everything we needed to handle for the closing, she kept us calm and helped us understand what to expect, she checked in on us frequently (and helped us stay on top of the many to-dos when buying a home), and she was available by text, email, and phone at all hours of day and night. All with a great sense of humor, enthusiasm, and confidence, which helped cut a lot of the tension that can come with making an offer. Katina has also been quite helpful in connecting us to local community resources in what will be a new neighborhood for us. Additionally, she has a design background, so as we were evaluating the home, she was able to give us great insight into what kind of furniture layout would work for our family and what we could reasonably fit in each space. She even got on a call with us to look through furniture the seller was offering and helped us decide what to take. Katina was patient and accommodating, as we went through this process as out-of-towners on a short time schedule with two very young children at home complicating our availability. She was fun to be around and made what could have been a very stressful process actually feel quite manageable and even fun. She was a pleasure to hang out with, celebrate with, and learn from. We really feel like we made a lifelong friend, and we genuinely felt that she was doing right by us every step of the way. If there were an option to rate her higher than 5 stars, I?d take it!
My boyfriend and I are first time homebuyers, and Katina Benenate really helped us navigate the crazy market and made the whole process so easy. She was able to answer all of our questions thoroughly, and kept in touch with us throughout the process so that we never missed a deadline for anything. She definitely exceeded all of our expectations and helped us find a home that we love.
We had a wonderful experience working with Maria Sabatini. We started house hunting for the first time in very stressful market for buyers. We were also looking from a distance and trying to learn a new city. Maria was an excellent resource and was extremely helpful in navigating the whole process. She was always available whenever we had questions, was very responsive to our needs as we planned last-minute showings and trips into town, and gave us the advice we needed to be successful in a fast-paced market. She helped us get to know the DC neighborhoods and figure out our priorities in a house and location. She was extremely professional and a joy to work with. I would highly recommend Maria to my friends and family looking in the greater DC area.
With three kids under 6 years old and living over 30 minutes away, we had very little time or energy to sell our investment property in Silver Spring. We needed a trustworthy agent to handle the property with little effort on our part. Thats when we reached out to Natalie Perez and Susan Kirn. We contacted them a few weeks before the tenant moved out. Natalie and Susan drew up an action plan to get the house on the market with contractors lined up to begin work immediately. In a relatively short time, the house hit the market. The perfectly staged home exhibited features that otherwise may have been overlooked in this 80 year-old house. No doubt, their expertise led to an Oh-I-Can-See-Myself-Living-Here reaction that drew nine competitive offers. The worry-free experience combined with two offers $100k over the asking price made us very satisfied home sellers. We cant thank Natalie and Susan enough for their work. PROs: Excellent communication and accessibility Expertise in the Silver Spring neighborhoods Free staging Access to quality contractors Unmatched teamwork CONs: None
