"My wife and I are attorneys with significant experience in real estate transactions. I asked a trusted friend to suggest the best person to help us sell out existing home and find a new one. She suggested Helen Dodson. Hiring Helen was one of the best decisions weā€™ve made. She took care of all the details of our sale and purchase in Chevy Chase, DC, selling our old home for more than the asking price while finding and settling on our new home in our desired time frame. We love our wonderful home near Rock Creek Park." - Frederick

"I recommend Helen without hesitation or reservation. She sold my Shepherd Park home in four days, delivering four solid offers and negotiating a sale price significantly above asking price. I have since recommended Helen to friends as well as to my children, who are equally pleased with her professionalism and solid results. She is simply the best, thorough and transparent from start to finish, ethical, knowledgeable and a master of explaining exactly what is happening every step of the way." - Georgianna

"I had the opportunity of working with Helen three years ago. My mother had passed and selling her home in Colonial Village turned out to be full of complications and unexpected problems. I was unsure how to move forward, living in New Jersey. However, her extensive knowledge and winning personality helped connect me to the right people and guide me through a maze of requirements and a demanding process from the District of Columbia. I heartily recommend Helen Dodson for all your real estate needs." - Carol
