The following are unsolicited testimonials by clients whose written words are reprinted with permission:

"Thanks so much to both of you!  Your experience and
professionalism really pulled it through.  We couldn't have gotten that
result with anyone else." – Stratton & Meg, buys in Arlington & Alexandria, sales in the West End & Glover Park

“Words can’t describe our feelings for both of you. You were always there; never wavered or lost faith. It is truly amazing that in the toughest of circumstances you never wilted. We wouldn’t and couldn’t have made it without you two. And the best part is that you did it with CLASS. So I guess a simple THANK YOU would do for now. But then again, my teen aged daughter’s everyday expression – ‘You guys ROCK’ is closer to our heart. May God bless you two.” – Manzoor & Tasmeea, buy in Bethesda

”You've both been terrific throughout. You work incredibly hard; you answered every question we posed; you pushed our offer to the limit (even though we're wondering whether you thought we were crossing the line, but you never once hinted that we were crazy).... and all the while, you made it seem so simple and fun. You convey a very strong sense of ability, knowledge, confidence and just plain love for what you do — all of which make it so much easier for everyone involved. Thank you!” – Barb & Jon, buy in Columbia Heights

“Thank you for the professional help and personal touch. It is refreshing to experience such quality care when, in today’s world, it is rare to find.” – Ketan, buys in Georgetown & Woodley Park

“You and Skip are just a terrific team. The way you guys know my taste – and I’m sure any client’s taste – is really quite amazing. Your saavy in getting me into a truly unique, value neighborhood – a place I might otherwise not find or think of myself – well, that’s where the life artistry comes in. Thank you. And thanks for the negotiating skill and instinct that got me in at the more affordable range.” – Bruce, buy and sale in Palisades, and buy in Bethesda

“I know I speak for both of us when I say thank you for your hard work and dedication. You made us feel very comfortable (or as comfortable as can be during a process that can clearly become excruciating – not in our case thankfully). You guys make a great team and can be assured anytime someone asks, you will come highly recommended.” – Keith & Jackie, buy and sale in Georgetown and buy and sale in Cleveland Park

“We are still in la la land about the way things turned out. Only 2 weeks and 2 days from start to finish – can you believe? You guys did a great job!” – Maria & Bob, sale in Capitol Hill & buy in Chevy Chase

“Thank you so much for your help in finding, financing, and purchasing our first home. The experience couldn’t have been smoother or more successful.” – Tanya & John, buy in Mt. Pleasant

“Both of you have been so helpful, patient, thorough and professional (fun too!). We will miss you and look forward to working with you again (investment opportunities!).” – Barbara & Art, two sales in Glover Park & buy in Chevy Chase

“I really want to thank you both for the great job selling our houses. I really think the buyers could see how straightforward, honest and hardworking you both are… most agents are closing up shop 15 minutes before the OPEN is over, yet you were still there hours after the OPEN! You certainly go the extra mile and it definitely shows.” – Bill & Kate, two sales in Capitol Hill and buy in Foxhall

“I spent the first night in my new place even though I wasn’t ready to move in. It was cold, uncomfortable and unfamiliar, but I’m happy to say it’s the only night I had trouble sleeping through this whole process – thanks to you & Skip.” – Mary Ann, buy in North Cleveland Park

“I just wanted to take a moment to send a note to let you know how much I appreciate your professional service and even more, your warm friendship. You guys are the best! You listen, you know what I like, what I don’t like, and you don’t push just to make the sale. On the selling side, I truly believe I would not have sold my house in only 24 hours if it weren’t for Debbie’s excellent advice about the little things I could do to prepare and enhance the house for sale – a definite case of your experience and expertise paying off! I recommend you to my friends and colleagues without reservation and always feel a little sad for them if they don’t take my advice – I know they’re missing out on the best!” – Nadia, sale in Bethesda, buys in Adams Morgan, Dupont & Columbia Heights

“Your thoughtfulness, wealth of knowledge, efficiency and warmth combined to help us find the perfect home and to make the entire process seamless and even enjoyable.” – Ted & Rachel, buy in American University Park

“I can’t get over how fast you are. Now, I know we needed to switch realtors.” – Kristin & Ryan, sale and buy in Bethesda

“You both were always so informative, helpful and supportive! It was such a pleasure working with you.” – Andrea, buy in Glover Park

“Thanks so much for remembering our home anniversary last month. It means a lot to us that you continue to keep in touch. We will never forget all the help you gave us in the purchase of our first home.” –Adina & Dave, buy in Fairfax

“Thanks again for the weekend of house hunting. You are going to spoil me into thinking that buying a house will always be this easy.”– Derek, buy in Arlington

“Thanks so much to you and Skip for your sage advice and tireless effort! Both buying and selling homes with you have been more smooth than I imagined. I really enjoyed working with you and appreciate that you’ve stayed in touch long after the sale. You’ve made the real estate process fun!” – Nilmini, sale in Dupont, buys in Columbia Heights & Logan, and sale in Logan/U Street

“Thank you again for your hard work, kind words, and generous support. We both appreciate your talents and expertise immensely and feel very strongly that we wouldn't have our house if we had used any other realtors. It was such a positive experience overall that I can't say enough good things about you two and your efficient and well-oiled team! I will definitely recommend you & Skip to any friend or family member looking in DC. And you will be the first persons we call when we are ready to move into another house!“ – Daniele & Tho, buy in Dupont/U Street
