"Mary Ellen was referred to us through a mutual friend when we were preparing to move to Northern Virginia. She practically became an extension of our family; spending hours online talking us through virtual tours, previewing homes and ultimately negotiating a contract and home inspection for us. She even helped connect us with contractors for a small renovation and with a moving company to get us into our new home. She is terrific and a pleasure to work with" - Sandy and Mike

"Mary Ellen was our buyer agent for our new house in Old Town and then listed our Arlington house to sell. She was with us every step of the way – negotiating the best terms for us on our new home, helping us get our Arlington house ready for going on the market, advising us on pricing and market conditions and then finally bringing in multiple offers - within 30 days. We are very happy we decided to work with her and strongly recommend her to our friends" - Jill and Mike

"Mary Ellen helped our family make a cross-country move at a busy time in our lives. I was making a job switch and didn’t have much time to search for the new family home. Mary Ellen made herself available late at night and on weekends for west coast calls and she previewed dozens of houses while keeping us in the loop with FaceTime. Mary Ellen listened carefully and figured out what was important and she made the process seamless and easy for us" - Rich V. and Family

"Mary Ellen worked really hard to find the perfect house for our needs in a neighborhood that offered us good schools and reasonable commutes. I couldn’t be happier with her customer service and her results. I’ve already referred her to colleagues who are moving to the area. I know that my friends and colleagues will be in good hands with Mary Ellen as their agent" - Joel W. and Family

"We hired Mary Ellen to sell our house because she took exquisite care of a neighbor’s property when she sold it, and we felt she would take care of us the same way. She advised and helped us find contractors to get our house ready for the market. Our house sold in less than 30 days because we took her advice. She also helped coordinate our move to a different state and she connected us to resources in our location. She helped us take care of things on our timeline. If you want a good realtor, adviser and advocate, you need to hire Mary Ellen" - Sara and Rich
