I highly recommend Joe and the team at Best Address Group. I am a first time home buyer who had a lot of questions and wanted to see a lot of places before I made my choices. Joe talked me through many of good answers and clarifications. He took me to see lots of properties in many areas as I was narrowing my search. He was patient and thorough, giving me the guidance I needed in a tough housing market. Once I found the house I wanted, Joe coached me through an effective offer strategy. I successfully purchased the first house I put in an offer on! After my offer was accepted, I got a lot of valuable guidance and support from Joe and Rosemary to get me through a speedy and efficient closing process. Throughout everything the whole team was pleasant, professional, and made a stressful process easier whenever possible. I can't say enough good things about Best Address Group and Joe Himali.

Joe came highly recommended from close friends, and we couldn't be happier with the support, expertise and guidance he provided us in selling our house. He quickly established himself as a trusted advisor in helping us develop a plan to prepare our home for sale. We were open about our limited experience in real estate transactions, and he never tired of answering our questions and proactively explaining the sometimes arcane details one needs to navigate. It is impossible to imagine a team more dedicated, proactive, patient, knowledgeable and experienced in guiding you through buying or selling, in any market. At every stage of the process: strategizing when would be the best time to sell within our desired window, cost-benefit analysis of how best to prepare the property, connecting us with solid contractors to do the work, taking care of innumerable details behind the scenes, launching, contract negotiation, and going above and beyond to follow up on every conceivable detail. It truly was an incredible privilege to work with Joe and his team!

Joe Himali is the BEST! Approximately 16 years ago, Joe helped me purchase my first condominium on Connecticut Avenue in Washington, DC, and, recently, helped me sell it. Let's just say that I could not have done it without his assistance and expertise. I wanted to sell quickly, and he made it happen. Very professional and well connected, his advice on contractors (and a wonderful moving company!) helped expedite the transaction. I was also impressed with his knowledge of historic, pre-war buildings in the area. You cannot go wrong using Joe and his dedicated staff for your real estate needs. I highly recommend!

Joe expertly navigated us through our home-searching and buying process during a particularly difficult market. We ended up with an incredible house in part because of Joe's connections. Throughout our search, Joe provided unique insights into every home we looked at, detailing updates the house would likely need, the quality of the home and its appliances, and gave ideas for how we could make the home ours. Joe was and is always available for his clients and was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!

Joe's services have been excellent! We worked with him to find our new 2bedroom in DC. He helped us refine our search parameters, educated us wonderfully around all the details of purchasing a house, helped us skillfully in our decision-making by keeping in mind both financial and personal preferences. His negotiation and project management skills were impressive! He has a rich set of experience, and a broad network of competent contractors. He bring a huge portion of empathy and patience and is available whenever we needed him. He is supported by a wonderful and competent team. We'll definitely work again with Joe!
