★★★★★"Working with Bob has been a fantastic experience. This was my first time selling a home, and he made a complex process so smooth, almost easy! Bob and I lived in the same condominium complex, and I first interacted with him during a homeowner meeting. He struck me as thoughtful and constructive, so much that I specifically sought him out two years later (Jun 2024) when I decided to sell my unit. And that was a great decision. Just a few of the things Bob does well...Bob’s advice on pricing and staging were spot on. Left to my own devices, I would have listed my unit for less. I followed his advice and the offers we received were on target, and we were under contract in less than 10 days. Ultimately, he knew the market value of my home, and how best to show case it–from furniture and décor to pictures to open house timings–far better than I did. Bob is highly strategic and a skilled negotiator on behalf of his clients. Even as our first offer was underway, he maintained contact with a second agent whose buyer was very interested in my unit. When our first buyer backed out, we had a second, superior offer in less than 12 hours. I literally went to sleep with a backout, woke up to a new, better contract that subsequently closed! Bob is highly conscientious and proactive. Less than an hour after receiving the condo documents, he noted an error on page 652 of a 661-page document, circled back with me to confirm it was in fact an error, and took the lead on getting the error addressed with our GM (versus me having to juggle this alongside my workday). He also navigated several interactions with the GM on my behalf, as I was no longer living in the unit, including expediting the return of my parking space following repairs to the condo garage, following up with the GM to ensure timely response to the lender, escalating issues quickly and efficiently when necessary; he provided me contractor information for the small items to fix prior to sale and after inspection; heck, he even loaned me his vacuum cleaner to get rid of some dust bunnies after my final move out. My first conversation with Bob was June 18. Our listing went live in August. We closed September 20. In some ways an utter whirlwind – but Bob was the best partner through this that I could have hoped for. I absolutely would work with him again, and wholeheartedly believe that any seller or buyer would benefit from having him in their corner!" - Dawn P.
“This was the smoothest home selling/buying experience in my life. I highly recommend Bob Gregorio as a seller’s agent and buyer’s agent. I have known him for 30 years in and outside real estate, initially working for me and my teams on IMF missions half way around the world in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. The qualities of diligence, thoughtfulness, professionalism and work ethic from the early days remained with him to this day as our realtor, selling one large suburban home on 2 acres in one state and buying a large urban penthouse in another. Bob met and exceeded our goals of quickly selling our home with minimal preparation or work done to it on our part, and buying our next one, all on a fast timeline and within budget. Bob is methodical and thorough. He focused on our needs, advised us options and executed faithfully. He is a strong negotiator, but deferred to me when we differed. Together we overcame obstacles, such as tactics by the opposing agent or buyer/seller. He was energetic throughout. To my delight, we sold our home to the 2nd visitor. For our next home, we toured several in DC and Virginia, resulting in multiple of serious consideration. We are thrilled to have found a condo we love, settled its purchase. We look forward to our continued friendship with Bob and can’t recommend him enough.” – Warren C.

“After navigating the Arlington home market as first-time buyers with the expertise and support of Bob Gregorio, my wife and I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Bob as our realtor. From the very first meeting, Bob earned our trust by taking note of our home needs/wants and timing, sharing his thoughts on optimal search / seller engagement strategy, and assuring us that he would be working in our best interests. Throughout the home buying process, Bob demonstrated his commitment time and time again. Bob honed our strategy and approach using every piece of information available (e.g. recent comps, interest rate movements) to help us find our ideal home within our price range and advocated for us at every turn. In addition to extensive real estate experience and exceptional people skills, Bob stands out because of his strong project management background. He managed our timeline and key milestones seamlessly and coordinated with all key stakeholders to close on our home in 28 days. Bob brings peace of mind and a healthy dose of humor to what could be a very stressful process. We highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in the DMV area.” – Ricardo P.

“Bob Gregorio has a stellar reputation as someone who can make things happen if you are buying or selling a home and someone who puts you an ease in the stress of the project. He is smart and completely communicative. He spells things out, he answers all questions at just about any time of day, he is above all creative in finding ways to make your real estate dreams come true. Bob was completely approachable and accessible. I could shoot him an email or text or call almost any time of day and he would get back to me with answers as quickly as he could. He was a master at juggling many details. Bob has a first-rate attention to detail and an excellent knowledge of the marketplace -- and above all my needs and my desires. I was dealing with back to back settlements and I had such a level of comfort knowing he was the one handling my transactions. I highly recommend Bob as an agent. He will work passionately to help you reach your goals. I had a somewhat ‘complicated’ scenario that involved contingencies. Bob made it happen -- and I am over the moon.” – Susan M.

“We adore Bob and will use no one else if we return to the area. He is personable, experienced, friendly, thoughtful, and understanding. He considered what our needs when we originally purchased the place and got us more than we expected when we sold. He will be our go-to forever and we will judge all other agents against him.” – Beth and Tom B.
“Bob is such a fantastic realtor. He successfully helped navigate this first home purchase in such a crazy period in real estate. I really don't think any other realtor would have devoted the amount of time and energy into making sure we were comfortable with the house, the neighborhood, and the process. I simply cannot recommend him enough! Thank you, Bob!” – Joseph S.
"Bob has it all: sharp project management acumen, keen negotiation skills, empathy for all parties, and a healthy sense of humor. From the moment we sat down with Bob to discuss what it would take to finally become homeowners, Bob was in our corner - guiding, recommending, asking good questions, and always advocating for our interests. From late night texts to early morning home visits, Bob's accessibility and lightning-quick response time earn high marks. Most importantly in our view - especially as first-time home buyers - Bob earned our total trust. He did this through seeking always to understand and then fiercely advocate for our issues and interests, and by ensuring every possible detail of the search and transaction went under his knowing microscope. We also enjoyed ourselves along the way, and had many light-hearted moments. We look forward to buying and selling more homes with Bob - he has earned our trust, our respect, and our future business." – Stephen B.
