"I had the pleasure of working with Lindsay Clark and her team during my home search. They are all great people. Lindsay is a stellar real estate agent and made the home-buying process as smooth as possible. She is very knowledgeable and patient. She always took the time to answer all of my questions and concerns. If you are a client of Lindsay's you will feel comfortable knowing that she has your best interests in mind, and will advocate for you. I would not hesitate to work with her again. I recommend Lindsay and Brian to anyone looking for professional, hard-working real estate agents!" - Devin

"Lindsay and her great team had a wonderful and professional job for us. As first-time buyers in the US, my wife and I were initially intimidated by the process, however, they made the process so easy and helped us understand what was happening every step of the way. We sincerely appreciate all their help! Once we found the right place, Lindsay turned into a fierce strategist as a specialist and got us the place within two days of it being on the market with an impressive offer. We still can’t believe that we got our right place in a highly competitive area. (it seems that the seller received six offers). We consider ourselves extremely lucky and blessed to have had them as our realtors. We would rate them higher than 5 stars if we could! We will eternally be grateful that they helped us find our beautiful home. " - Kentaro

"Lindsay is amazing! I met her for the first time on Sunday, she helped me make a competitive offer on Tuesday, and I closed three weeks later. Lindsay knows how to make a complex process easy and fun. From the lender to the title company, Lindsay introduced me to a tight-knit group of professionals who know how to make things happen quickly and efficiently. She worked quietly behind the scenes to take the stress out of the situation. I can't say enough! In a tight market like DC you need to move with speed. Lindsay moves not just with speed but with compassion and integrity. I couldn't be more grateful!" - Kathryn

★★★★★
"My daughter and I recently bought a condo/coop and had the great fortune to work with Lindsay Clark. This process, which can be stressful and complicated, went so smoothly and quickly that it was instead pleasurable and productive. Lindsay went far beyond what I normally would expect from an agent and spent quality time understanding our needs and desires. I would recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for real estate in the DC area." - lbertra

★★★★★
"Many thanks to Lindsay and Brian for their tremendous support and guidance throughout every step of selling my home. I greatly appreciated their patience and expertise. They took the burden off my shoulders. I was able to get everything done so efficiently and get a great result thanks to their knowledge and assistance. And they were a pleasure to work with." - Rob

★★★★★
"Brian and Lindsay were wonderful to work with. They helped us buy our home and were very patient, giving us the space to find just what we wanted. They were very knowledgeable and if they couldn't answer a question they got the answer for us. They also sold our home which involved helping us get it ready to sell. We would work with Brian and Lindsay again and highly recommend them because they are top-notch real estate agents and genuinely nice to work with." - Stacey

★★★★★
"Lindsay and Brian were recommended to us by a family friend who had had a great experience working with them years prior, and ours was no different. As first-time home buyers relatively new to the DMV region trying to navigate a tricky housing market, it quickly became clear how crucial it is to work with a knowledgable, skilled, reliable, available, trustworthy, and serious agent like Brian. At every turn, he had sound advice and the right information, or knew where to turn to get it (it seems like Brian and Lindsay have pretty much done/seen it all, when it comes to DMV real estate!), along with an extensive list of known and trusted vendors and contractors that we are still using as we set up our new home. Brian worked very hard to represent our interests and went above and beyond (many times) to help us secure an amazing home. I can't recommend them enough!" - Andrea

★★★★★
"I found Lindsay through a recommendation from a friend! Her and her team were amazing to work with from start to finish! Lindsay is a great advocate and answered all my questions through the process! I highly recommend working with her if you are in the market to buy or sell! I will definitely recommend her to friends in the future! " - Jessica

★★★★★
"I want to thank Lindsay and her team for such an excellent job helping me sell my house. They went above and beyond! She sold us the house in 2014 and there was no way I was going to ask anyone else to help me sell it. The process was quick and painless and Lindsay always had my best interest at heart. She and her team are simply the best there is so, if you're in the market, look no further." - Jeri

★★★★★
"I had the luck of working with Lindsay Clark to purchase my first home. As the experience was new to me, Lindsay took the time to educate me about the process and gave me incredible advice that helped set my mind at ease and allowed me to focus on finding the right space. Her knowledge of the market and home-buying process is unmatched. She is patient & thoughtful. She LISTENED to my questions and heard my needs and I was able to find the right house for me. I have since recommended many close friends to Lindsay & Brian and they have had similar wonderful experiences." - Amy

★★★★★
"We loved working with Brian and Lindsay! They helped us with both buying and selling, and in an unpredictable, changing market, their expertise and counsel was indispensable. We also found them to be kind and generous people--a total bonus in the world in general and also in real estate..! We had various complications and delays, and they helped us move forward .. and stay calm. We would absolutely work with them again." - Emily

★★★★★
"Lindsay and Brian worked patiently and tirelessly with us to understand the local housing market as well as our own priorities for selecting a home. They were attentive, responsive, knowledgeable, and all-around great to work with!" - Will

★★★★★
"I recently had the pleasure of listing my condo and buying a home with Lindsay and Brian. They both came highly recommended by my lender, and I am so grateful I worked with them. Lindsay and Brian are incredibly knowledgeable and attentive; they're on top of everything regarding the sale or purchase. During my sale, Brian masterfully navigated several issues with creative solutions that could have delayed or canceled my closing. They kept me up to date and provided me options when decisions had to be made. Their guidance and counsel was invaluable and beyond appreciated. I look forward to recommending Brian and Lindsay to anyone who is buying or selling in the DMV! " - Gavin

★★★★★
"Do you want to get top dollar for your home, with minimal stress? Then hire Lindsay and Brian. We did, and we couldn’t be happier. They handled everything from start to finish, and the result exceeded our expectations. Not only with the final sales price, but with the lack of stress and hassle along the way. Brian and Lindsay gave sound advice on improvements to make before listing, and lined up contractors for us (who did great work, on schedule). They gave sound advice on pricing the home, which led to us receiving multiple competitive offers and closing for a price far better than we had anticipated. And they handled every detail in between. They paid so much attention to the details of our sale it felt like they were listing and selling their own home. And that point bears emphasis. When you work with Lindsay and Brian, you really will be working with Lindsay and Brian, not other team members. While they manage a team of professionals, 99% of our interactions were with Lindsay and Brian themselves. They were always accessible when we needed them. Which wasn’t often, because, as indicated above, they handled pretty much everything. If this sounds like a sales pitch for Brian and Lindsay, that’s because it is. Hire them. You won’t regret it. And if you want to reach out to us for further detail, we're happy to expand on any of the above." - Pat

★★★★★
"I can't recommend Brian and Lindsay highly enough. We just purchased a home in DC while living out of state, and they were a huge resource throughout as we chose a neighborhood and learned about the DC housing market. They are very knowledgeable about the market and often provided extremely useful research, and their knowledge of home construction was also invaluable as we were making our decision. They offered advice without being pushy, which we appreciated. Purchasing a home while living out of state would have been so much more difficult if we weren't working with a great team we knew we could trust." - Jeremiah

★★★★★
"Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value. I used Lindsay and Brian to search for and eventually purchase a condo in DC as a first-time homebuyer. I found them to be very knowledgeable about the local real estate market, responsive, professional, and overall great to work with." - Jake

★★★★★
"Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value. Lindsay and Brian were wonderful! I had a short timeframe, am a first-time homebuyer, and am a picky person - Lindsay and Brian helped guide me through the purchase process with ease. They were available, knowledgeable, efficient, and flexible without being at all pushy. I would definitely recommend them!" - Caroline

★★★★★
"Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value. Working Brian and Lindsay was a wonderful experience. They took the time to understand my wants and needs with regard to my search for a new home. They were was patient as I looked at numerous homes over several months, providing thoughtful and helpful guidance during the entire time, particularly in the selection and offer phase. Their expertise made my purchase simple and successful. It was clear throughout that they were always focused on answering my questions, giving good advice, and finding homes that met my needs rather than simply closing a deal. I would recommend them to anyone." - Mark

★★★★★
"Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value. I can’t say or rave enough about my experience working with Lindsay, Brian and the team at Clark & Carle. I had a unique situation and needed to conduct my home search via some in-person and virtual methods. This was new for me but necessary given my busy work travel schedule. I’m not new to homeownership. Yet, Lindsay and Brian made it completely manageable and rather easy to conduct a thoughtful search. I had a long list of requirements and she was honest with me about the tradeoffs and helped me clarify my needs. She’s a great listener, patient, and problem-solver. There were many instances when her instincts (and Brian’s feedback) were critical in my decision-making process. I grew to implicitly trust them both and the team. When I found the right home, they were patient with my indecisiveness and supportive of me and my process the entire time. I can’t be happier with my new home in DC! Great location, great price, and ticked the boxes on my list! Lindsay and Brian are the realtors that people wish they had. I certainly feel blessed to have had them in my corner! " - Jasmine

★★★★★
"Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness. Lindsay Clark and Brian Van Wye delivered on their promise - to sell my condo within my financial goals this year - in a challenging market. They literally held my hand through difficult moments, worked with and communicated with contractors about necessary upgrades and bids, and explained the elements of each offer and the steps toward closing to me (a few times.) Their team is ace and highly responsive. I trusted Lindsay's guidance in all stages of the process completely." - Chesler

★★★★★
"Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value. Lindsay took the stress out of selling a house. She was with me every step of the way, providing guidance and insights based on her tremendous experience and incredible knowledge of the market. Thanks to Lindsay, we received multiple competitive offers and closed quickly. I highly recommend her!" - Leslie

★★★★★
"I didn't realize they still made realtors like Lindsay - she hustled so hard to help us find the right place for our family, sold our condo in less than 72 hours, and even lent us an air conditioner when ours went out in the middle of house hunting. We bought a house that needed work and Lindsay stayed engaged throughout our renovation, invested in the outcome and always ready to be a thought partner or to share a good service provider. Another thing I appreciate about Lindsay is that goes the extra mile(s) for her clients, regardless of their budget, which is a notable distinction in this region." - Sarah

★★★★★
"Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value. I sold my Stoneybrook townhouse in Rockville through Lindsay Clark and her team at Compass. She was great to work with every step of the way. She was incredibly responsive to any questions or concerns I had about the process. Her expertise in real estate and her local knowledge helped tremendously. The townhouse sold at $45K over list! I highly recommend Lindsay and her team at Compass — very knowledgeable, responsive and supportive. I was so satisfied that I recommended her to several Stoneybrook friends who hired her to sell their own townhomes." - Joan

★★★★★
"Working with Lindsay Clark was an absolute pleasure! Lindsay's greatest strength as a realtor is her ability to listen and really hear what is important to you. She recently helped us sell our old home and buy a new home in a challenging market with grace, patience, and professionalism. Lindsay is extremely knowledgeable about the housing market throughout the DC area and is someone you can trust to represent your interests without hesitation." - Aarti

★★★★★
"Can’t say enough good things about Lindsay & her team. Very thorough & professional. Our property was a top listing and sold quickly. She was very responsive and her team took care of every detail. Will definitely call on her again in the future." - Thomas

★★★★★
"Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value. Lindsay is absolutely wonderful to work with. Throughout the home-buying process Lindsay went above and beyond to advocate for me and what was needed to get to closing. She is a true professional, a real problem solver who knows how to get the job done. She’s also, very personable and kind!" - Gabriela
