Testimonials

Knowledgeable, professional, and flexible: that describes my recent experience with Christine Gray from Realty Advantage.  She was willing to accommodate my busy schedule and really helped me to dial in my property search to find the perfect place for me.  Thank you Chris!

Matt S.

Jennifer was fantastic in holding our hands as first-time buyers and giving us her true thoughts about the future potential of houses we visited – with a long-term view of what would likely be best for us. She was so responsive (even when we didn’t need or expect her to be!) and went to bat for us to get closing help that allowed us to get a new HVAC and washer/dryer right away. She’s also kind and funny and all-around lovely to work with.

Caitlin K.

It was a really great experience working with Bindu Sethi. Her experience in real estate helped us a lot.  She was forthcoming and quick in advising us on how to evaluate a house and terms of a bid.  In today’s seller market it was a very valuable asset for your clients. We look forward to working with you again in the future!

Minty and Raju

Silvana is a wonderful person to work with!  She is pleasant, knowledgeable, and understanding of one’s needs. I highly recommend her services!

Brenda

We are thankful that Bindu was our realtor in our first home purchase. She is a non-judgmental listener who understands your needs and converts them into actionable leads. She was always approachable and ensured all steps in the process were executed meticulously.

Minali and Samarth

Monica Molina is a true professional, with our interest foremost. She did not low-ball the value of our home, which was more than appreciated. Monica knows our town well. This level of knowledge, and her good instincts helped make our sale and transition easier.

Susan O.

Calling Bindu Sethi to help sell our home turned out to be the best decision of our transition.  Ms. Sethi knows the county and our neighborhood really well and knew how to market our home.  It blew us away when she called just four days after hitting the market with a great offer on our house.  Ms. Sethi was there to advise us every step of the way all the way up to closing.

Pankaj M.

Hope Arias made the house hunting process stress free and fun!  She was helpful every step of the way and responsive to all our questions and concerns.  Great communication and advice!  We love our new house!!

Amanda H.

I’m so happy I got the chance to work with Karen. She is so kind and truly cares about her clients and ensuring that all of their needs are met. She made the entire process with renting my new townhome fast and easy with no questions left unanswered. I already plan on contacting Karen towards the end of my lease with hopes of finding my forever home together 🙂

Amy F.

Mike Reible and Christine Gray were a DYNAMO team to work with. My company found it difficult to find that perfect location to move into when getting into the Maryland market. Real estate was scarce, but that isn’t an issue with this group. Hands down best experience you will have. They answer all your questions, meet on site for your needs, available for lawyer reviews and just some of the friendliest people you can meet. If you guys see this thank you again for your continued support!

Buying our first home has been one of our dreams and we finally found it thanks to Francisco Chavez.  He was very patient and most of all, he never pressured us into buying a home we weren’t really too sure about.  We highly recommend Francisco as your Realtor because he is patient, respects every decision you take and he is flexible with his time.

I really appreciate that he listens and gives thoughtful and spot on advise. He is friendly and easy to work with. I highly recommend Jose Morejon.

Luisa G.

We recently had a pleasure of working with Rumi to purchase a condo in Ashburn, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience.  Throughout the entire process, Rumi seamlessly blended professionalism with a personal touch, making us feel like valued clients while treating us with the care and attention one would expect from a trusted family member.  She was always available to answer any questions we had and provided valuable guidance every step of the way.

If we were ever going to sell or buy again Lian would be the first person we would call.

Craig G.

I had lived in my home for 34 years so Sherry Eini helped me figure out what needed to go, and also what needed to go into storage and what needed sprucing up. She was always low key and supportive and never high handed, just helpful. She was a pleasure and whatever needed doing she did. She helped me find a fair price for my house and we got two contracts the first day. After helping me through negotiations I ended up with exactly my asking price so I could quickly move on. Thank you Sherry for being a friend.

A very professional and efficient Real Estate company.

We put our trust in Bindu Sethi and it paid off! To sell and then buy a house at the same time is never an easy process (and especially challenging during a pandemic!).  We could manage this only because we had a trusted partner and counselor by our side in Ms. Sethi.

Nidhi S.

When Christine Gray of Realty Advantage came to look at my house as the listing agent, she was prepared with comps and what a fair market price would be.  She gave me a selling strategy which included recommendations to increase the attractiveness of my home.  I heeded her advice and after the house was listed had 4 offers in 3 days!

I got in touch with Laurinda Massey at the end of March and by end of May we had closed on a place. I feel, no I know – that a lot of this had to do with the dedication that Laurinda exhibited in helping us. Laurinda listened to us, understood our requirements and ensured that we only saw what filled these conditions. She was understanding, empathetic and honestly a friend. She has NEVER stepped away from any help or guidance that my daughter and I have sought. In working with Laurinda the realtor, we have found Laurinda a friend! She is always there – never says no, finds a solution! You have an asset in Laurinda – if I ever have a referral in MD, hers will be the name that will be recommended!

Renu S.

Bindu Sethi is very knowledgeable, accessible and communicates clearly, making the process easy. A joy to work with!. She is the best!  She was honest and forthright.

When we finally did decide to put an offer on a property, she dove in head first, and FAST. Always checking in and making sure we were in the loop- her communication was impeccable. If there was a question we had, within minutes there would be a response (most times an actual answer!) Her organizing was top notch, and she carried herself all the way through settlement with poise and professionalism. We would not hesitate for a second to use Gabby again in the future.

She helps me with the tasks that need be addressed so she can have the property on the listed quickly. Karen markets the homes very effectively and keeps in good communication with me and the other agents that have shown the property. The time of the years has never mattered, she has always secured a new tenant in just a couple of weeks. I would recommend Karen without hesitation.

Buying a home can be very intimidating. With so many moving parts (lender, title company, listings, contract bids, etc). We were very fortunate to have Ken with us every step of the way. He had our best interest at heart the whole time and made us feel at ease with our home purchase. Will highly  recommend!
