As a first time buyer, we really had no clue of where to start.  Oscar Sayan took the time to explain the buying procedure and he answered questions right away.  He is honest and patient.  I would highly recommend Oscar as an agent!

Maria S.

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!

Chris T.

Throughout the process on this condo property, Nancy kept my best interests front and center.  Excellent agent that made the process quite simple for me!

Mel L.

When we looked for a realtor, we were looking for someone we could trust and properly represent us, as well as our property. We believe we found the right person in Bindu Sethi. She had a fabulous photo brochure and videography, productive open houses, all very thorough and efficient. Bindu was responsive and organized. I highly recommend and regard her as one of the best in the field of real estate. Thank you Bindu for making this experience so very positive!

Rick Dorta has been nothing short of amazing and incredibly accommodating.  We did a marathon of house hunting the one day I had available and he rocked.  Organized, friendly, knowledgeable.  Just amazing. Rick was a pleasure and a great asset to the Realty Advantage team.

Karen

Cristina did a great job helping us find our beach house.  Always friendly, contactable and willing to help.  My husband and I highly recommend her!

Dalia V.

I can’t imagine a better buyer agent than Chen Wen. He was incredibly knowledgeable and would search out answers to almost any question we had, if he didn’t already have the answer. Best of all, he clearly loves this work, gets joy out of doing it and brings joy to those who get to work with him. Top scores on all counts!!

Anne L.

Carmen walked us through step by step the process of acquiring our property.  Her knowledge about real estate is above what we expected. I would recommend anybody to seek her services!

Silvia P.

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.

Valeriy L.

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.

It is a real pleasure to work with Rick Dorta. The closing is smooth and successful largely due to his great real estate knowledge and experience. I appreciate his help in showing me the house and walking me through the purchasing process. He is the most knowledgeable, patient, and professional real estate agent I have worked with. I hope that I will work with him again in future.

We couldn’t have found our dream home without her!

Hina and Avinash

Rumi Stoyan worked with us to buy our present home, and Rumi guided us through the selling of our previous home. Rumi worked with us for years, expending great effort and always giving us close personal attention. She gave us expert advice and counsel at every step of the process, evaluating properties, making offers, and negotiating. Rumi’s honest and straightforward, no sidestepping issues, no dissimulation. Rumi cares about people, she’s honest, energetic, and highly skilled in all aspects of the real estate business. We could not be more pleased with our business dealings with her. We have certainly told friends and relatives about her, and would recommend her without doubt to everyone.

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!

Troy N.

Homebuyer

Supportive environment, reasonable overhead cost, good education/technology!

Chen W.

Bindu Sethi has been a great help and advisor to us since we bought our first home in 2006 and now when we sold it after 17 years. I would highly recommend Bindu for your real estate needs. She is very diligent and always on top of everything, constantly giving us the update on sale process and its various stages. Her honest and true to the market guidance is always appreciated. Bindu’s professionalism and work ethics are second to none.

Anubha & Aman

My wife and I were first time homebuyers.  We were introduced to Natalia Winffel and she began helping us with the process.  She guided us every step of the way and made sure we understood everything that we needed to do.  We were blessed to have found her and within 2 months we were signing at our closing!  She made our experience so great!  We knew that the entire time she was helping, guiding, and advising us, she wanted what was best for us!  Thank you Natalia for making our dream come true of being homeowners!

Marshall B.

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.

Rumi Stoyan proved to be an outstanding realtor.  She guided my wife and me through the nerve wracking experience of selling our home with integrity, knowledge, and humor.  Her advice was spot on – and saved us a boatload of money.  I highly recommend Rumi to anyone in need of a real estate professional.

Anatoly S.

Rick Dorta is one of the most professional agent that I have ever worked with. He cares about his clients as if they are his family members. He is 100% accessible and reachable.

We look forward to working with you again in the future!

We purchased a home in recently and this is the second time we have used Lasantha Dahanaike as our realtor. We are very happy to let you know how proud your company must be for providing such service. I have no words to say how appreciative we are for his wonderful service. He is very knowledgeable and was always available for any questions, concerns. It went to such length that we trusted him to be our power of attorney. From finding a property and until the end of the closing, the whole transaction went very smoothly with his support. We wish him and your company all the best! – Gayathri and Mevan W.

I have been working with Rumi Stoyan for over 10 years and she has never failed to disappoint me! From selling my home, onto looking for a home, Rumi has been supportive, knowledgeable and all around supportive and communicable with any questions which I may have.

Anna S.

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!

Extremely knowledgeable about the area, the market, home inspections, the whole process. Really went above and beyond my expectations. Highly, highly recommended.

Axel S.

My wife and I were first-time home buyers with very little knowledge. From start to finish Lian Adolphe was very patient, responsive to our needs, kind and had great knowledge and suggestions for homes to view based on what we were looking for. She helped us find the right house in the right location and the price was right. We are very happy with our experience of our first time buying the house. If we were ever going to sell or buy again Lian would be the first person we would call.
