Client Testimonials:
"Evelyn knows her stuff. She helped my wife and I buy our first home and was patient with us despite our unfamiliarity with the process. Her negotiating skills helped us land a beautiful home the 1st time we made an offer."
- Justin Scott
"I put my condo on the market in August 2018 with very little interest shown from perspective buyers. Well I was referred to Evelyn Lugo in late September 2018 and immediately switched realtors. Evelyn Lugo brought a different reality to my situation. We immediately adjusted the price of the condo, she had me get rid of some of the clusters in my unit, sent her professional photographer, and published new photos and a FABULOUS flyer. Within a day of the new posting, I had interest shown almost everyday! Evelyn is knowledgeable, approachable, personal, patient and incredibly generous with her time. She responded to my many texts and e-mail in record time. (And, I can be overwhelming at times, if I must admit so myself.) Needless to say, we went to closing within 30 days of me meeting Evelyn. I highly recommend her, and have done so.""
- Rita Gibson
"Evelyn Lugo listened to my complicated project goals, asked very relevant questions, documented what she needed to follow up with, and kept me tactfully on track when needed. She made me feel confident in her fiduciary duties to me as the seller so I could rely 100% on her judgment and advice."

"Evelyn is an extraordinary agent! She is here to educate, support and provide the best service. As a first time home-buyer I was very impressed and I truly knew she had my best interest in mind. Evelyn is an agent you can trust."

"Very knowledgeable and responsive. Has a great network of professionals to recommend, from financing to contractors and moving companies. Loved working with her. Made the purchasing process smooth. We highly recommend her."

"Evelyn represented us when we bought and when we sold. She is no nonsense and professional, and she went over all of our options with us so we could make informed decisions. She also has a huge and impressive network of professionals she works with, and she only works with the best. She was able to get us the best possible price for our condo, in part because she knew exactly what we should focus on before putting it on the market, and in part because she regularly works with contractors that she knows can get the job done."

"Evelyn helped us locate and purchase a Co-op in SW DC. She was extremely knowledgeable about the area, about purchasing a Co-op and the process as a whole. She was also very pleasant and enjoyable to work with, making what could have been a stressful experience seem easy."

"Having a realtor is part "friend", part "advisor", and a whole of lot of "life coach"! Evelyn showed tough love, a tender heart, and a guiding hand to get the best deals for us. We have both buying and selling experiences with her and her team, so we got to see both ends of the deal. We initially "found" Evelyn the old fashioned way...calling the listing agent. But, wow, were we impressed. This was way more than a "deal" for her. It was finding the right fit for us. She was available, response, knowledgeable, strategic, considerate...you know, all the things one needs in a realtor (but, one rarely gets). Evelyn worked diligently on both of our deals, which were very different. With our first interaction, we bought a place in a "hot" area in DC. The transaction was seemingly straightforward, but there are always glitches. She didn't flinch through any of it. She handled each situation with aplomb and made us feel that we were getting the best value. The second deal she handled was the selling of a rental property we owned. The previous renters did us no favors by trashing the place before they left, but Evelyn helped us find the best option. Even though our place was in a more sedate area (and far from model home condition), we found a buyer in less than three weeks. Then....the closing process. It was difficult. Negotiations took what seemed like an eternity; the buyers' mortgage company was weeks behind schedule; and a client (that would be me) was always on travel. Honestly, we could not have done this without Evelyn's experience, tenacity, and fortitude. Even when she went on a previously planned vacation she managed to stay appropriately connected. I'm sure many people gush over their realtors, but it's hard to overstate how much Evelyn perosnally made a difference in each of our transactions. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again and absolutely recommend her and her team."
