"Pam did a great job handling an estate sale for me. The property needed extensive renovation and she found excellent contractors who did the work quickly and at a reasonable cost. She provided advice and guidance throughout the entire process and was always available to answer questions. We were able to sell the property quickly and at a good price. I recommend her highly!" - Jacob

"Pam represented us both as a buyer’s agent for our co-op and a seller’s agent for our single family home. She was an excellent choice for both. As a buyer’s agent, she helped us get a contract accepted in a seller’s market. When there was a possible last-minute glitch, she worked tirelessly on our behalf to address the issue in a way that worked out to our benefit. As a seller’s agent, she put in an unbelievable amount of work helping us get our house ready to sell. She had a long list of available contractors to do necessary repairs and improvements before we put the house on the market and, in many cases, worked directly with contractors and vendors to get the work done. She had great recommendations for staging the house and timing the sale. We ended up with multiple offers and the house sold well above the listing price. Through it all, she was a complete professional and a pleasure to work with. We’re couldn’t be happier that we chose her to represent us! " - Carolyn and Marty

"We have never sold a house and were unsure how to proceed, after interviewing several real estate agents, Pam Ryan-Brye was by far the best. Pam walked us through the process and priced our house fairly and we received multiple offers. I would highly recommend Pam, we felt very comfortable with her." - Rebecca and Catherine
★★★★★
"We engaged Pam Ryan-Brye to act as our agent in the sale of the house we had owned for 27 years. She provided advice, strategy and an attractive staging. Two or three weeks after it was put on the market we were told that several parties were interested in the house (including the ultimate buyer). After appropriate and productive discussions, settlement was held with a very satisfactory price in slightly under two months total elapsed time. We immediately retained Pam to also sell our condominium in a nearby town. To our delight, she carried out this activity with at least a comparable performance. " - Bill

"It took a while for Pam to understand what we wanted by once she understood, her knowledge and contacts were impressive and Pam helped us get out ideal place." -Zari

"Pam handled the sale of our Washington DC condo with professionalism. Her knowledge of the market in the Foggy Bottom area was very helpful in successfully acquiring a buyer in a speedy fashion. Her suggestions in staging the and negotiating with potential buyers resulted in a sale within a short period of time. We were out-of-town owners and she handled everything with expertise and made the sale proceed smoothly. I highly recommend her assistance with your real estate ventures." - Minella
★★★★★
"Pam was absolutely terrific to work with. As first-time homebuyers, we were overwhelmed by the prospect of buying in such a competitive market. Pam provided us with timely and effective advice so that we could learn more about the market. After working with Pam for very little time, she was able to anticipate our needs: sending us listings we were interested in, meeting us at houses on very odd or tight timeframes, and then helping us become offer-ready and secure financing in less than 48 hours. Her rolodex cannot be underestimated. Pam's support continued well after the time we made our offer, providing us with needed advice through closing and even as we settled in."
★★★★★
"Pam Ryan-Brye is a quintessential professional who was delightful to work with when my parents decided to downsize and sell our treasured family home after 46 years. Pam and her team brought the right sensibilities and exact kinds of support we needed to prepare and successfully sell the home for our asking price and to a buyer we felt good about. In addition to her market savvy and friendliness, Pam brought a deep bench of competent and trustworthy contractors. She also remained accessible and proactively kept us abreast of changes and new developments throughout the process, and especially after each showing and Open House. We gladly recommend Pam Ryan-Brye to other home sellers without hesitation or qualification." - Terri
★★★★★
"Pam is a fantastic realtor specializing in Chevy Chase, Maryland and DC! She priced our house perfectly (for more than we originally thought it was worth!) and Pam kept the buyer in the game when they might have walked. She also helped us stage the house, get things fixed when needed, and deal with any issues that came up. I highly recommend Pam." - Jeff
★★★★★
"Pam was terrific to work with in selling our home and buying a new one. She was always responsive, knowledgeable, hardworking and helpful. She was also great at connecting us with good, reliable contractors to handle repairs in both the new and old homes. Would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling in the DC area." - Brian
★★★★★
"Have no words to describe how great is Pam. She knows the market extremely well, her negotiation skills are excellent. If a problem surges she has the resources to solve it. She is constantly in touch with you making sure all is going well." - Clara
★★★★★
"Pam is a wonderfully knowledgeable and experienced agent, but most importantly, she is a pleasure to work with. Pam helped us purchase the perfect home in a very competitive market and was incredibly responsive to any questions we had."
★★★★★
"Pam is was terrific for us. She could not have been better. Pam really understands the local market and followed up on every inquiry that we had. We were new buyers from Southern Virginia and had no real knowledge of the Maryland Market. Experience counts when it comes to the local market and Pam has it. In addition she is a good person to be involved with." - Catherine

★★★★★
"Pam and her team did a tremendous job helping us sell our house in DC. Without Pam's guidance and assistance, the process would have been far more difficult for us, and the result far less satisfying. She was with us every step of the way, providing direct assistance and valuable vendor referrals. We appreciated Pam's practical approach of doing only what would be necessary or useful to marketing the house, rather than suggesting sweeping and expensive changes. We had a contract within a week of the house's going on the market, and the sale price substantially exceeded the listing price, which Pam and her professional crew had helped us to determine. We really enjoyed working with Pam. She was part of our lives for many months, and we always will be grateful for her helping us with such success throughout the process." - Tony
★★★★★
"Pam is a godsend. We were first-time buyers. We did not have a lot of money to spend but wanted to move to a neighborhood that could easily have been beyond our means. Pam is so committed to crafting "clean" transactions that we had offers accepted on 2 different properties. The first fell through due to defects in the house, but the house we just purchased is PERFECT for me and my family. Pam--and her excellent assistant Dominique--made it happen for us. They answered every question we had--and we had many. I cannot recommend Pam highly enough. Please reply with any further questions I can answer about Pam if you have them." - Amanda
★★★★★
"Pam guided us through the buying and selling process in an extremely competitive market. She prepared our house for sale- minor updates, staging, etc. with hardly any effort on our part. It was under contract, with multiple offers after just a week on the market. Any questions we had were answered quickly and with years of experience to draw from. She was great at checking in with us, and sometimes it felt like she answered questions we didn't even know we had! Buying and/or selling a house can be so stressful and Pam's calming presence and expertise were greatly appreciated. Highly recommend!" - Erin
★★★★★
"Both my husband and I have worked with Pam on a number of occasions. We have always been very happy with her work: she's extremely professional, proactive and reactive, reliable, knowledgeable, resourceful, patient (you need to be if you are a real estate agent) and always pleasant. I have already recommended Pam to a number of friends and colleagues, and all of them have thanked me for it."
★★★★★
"I had a wonderful experience working with Pam. She was incredibly patient with me, knowledgeable, and always extremely responsive. Pam knows the DC market and came highly recommended from others in my building, she actually worked on the sell side of my apartment when i bought it in 2004. I was very impressed. This was my first time selling and probably needed more hand-holding than most of Pam's other clients. She never made me feel like that was the case. She also always made me feel like my satisfaction was top priority. In some cases, my last minute decision making was probably frustrating for her, but she never gave me any indication. I could go on about Pam for quite a while, but the bottom line is, she helped me get my place sold at a great a price in an off season under some serious time constraints. I had a lot on my plate moving cities and switching jobs and she was a life saver. What I appreciate the most is she never made me feel like I was a burden. I'd recommend Pam to anyone. She's an exceptional agent!!!" - Rob
★★★★★
"Pam Ryan-Brye acted as our realtor to sell our house and purchase a new house. She is a consummate professional: knowledgeable, thorough, and well-respected in the field. Because of her expertise, there are never surprises in the process. Pam goes well beyond the expectations of a realtor in providing supportive services and practical assistance. We depended on her recommendations for help through our move and the renovation of the new house. Pam listens well and is a genuine pleasure to work with; I recommend her wholeheartedly." - Linda
★★★★★
"When I first contacted her about selling my studio condo, she responded within 10 minutes. She knew where to advertise my place because it sold within 5 days over a holiday weekend. I had numerous people go through my place on Saturday (so many that I wound up just staying away for the entire day so people could tour it) and then the open house on Sunday was also well attended. I had multiple offers so it went for more than the list price on Tuesday." - Linda
★★★★★
"I am honored to recommend Pam Ryan-Brye. I first met her when my husband and I were purchasing our first home. Pam was the realtor for the seller. We immediately trusted her. She worked with the seller and with us. After 20 years in our home, and my husband's passing, I decided it was time to sell my wonderful home. I knew Pam was the right realtor to help me in the process. I contacted her when I first started assessing the decision about whether to sell or rent, what to do, how to do it, and many other related questions. She was always ready to hear me, to help, to invite other professionals to share information, and to consider my selling timeline. She is an excellent professional and more important, a person with great principles and values. She is there for you! She also has a great team to support her work (e.g., staging consultant, handy person, landscaping). She is always available during the process."
★★★★★
"Pam recently handled the listing and sale of my townhouse in the Foggy Bottom section of Washington, D.C., with very good results. She fully explained the listing process. In addition, she was invaluable with suggestions on preparing the home for the market: adding some pieces of furniture, rugs, throws, pillows and pictures, and rearranging items within the home – all too excellent effect. Pam prepared an impressive brochure and MLS description, showing her solid familiarity with this area of Washington, D.C. The home went under contract just two days following the first open house for $100,000+ over the asking price, with two competing offers. I was very satisfied with Pam’s services and highly recommend her to those needing to buy or sell in Washington, D.C." - Mitch
★★★★★
"Pam is an excellent realtor with fabulous people skills. She also is very helpful during the whole process of buying 3 apartments in 6 months. Pam is a real pleasure to work with her."
★★★★★
"Living in Chicago and selling our apartment in DC would not have been as effortless or even possible without the incredible help from Pam. She handled every detail including getting old clothing and furniture delivered to organizations where they could be recycled or donated. She managed and coordinated any necessary repairs including finding the contractors, suggested improvements and stayed in touch with us on her progress every step of the way. Finally, her expertise and guidance allowed both sides of our transaction to get the best price and value in the current market. We'd most definitely hire Pam again."
★★★★★
"Pam was very helpful in providing all we needed to accomplish the sale of our house long distance. She was able to give us good recommendations of local contractors for the work we needed to have done, oversaw work when we were unable to be there, and explained and helped us through the entire process very well. She was knowledgeable about the various regulations in different jurisdictions that we had to work with. And she even helped us find places to get rid of things we couldn't keep, and recommended good movers for what we kept." - Mopsy
★★★★★
"Pam helped us buy our first house in 1985, sell a relative's apartment in 2009, and sell our second house in 2014. We went back to her because she provided superlative service and help. Her research and pricing of our sales was outstanding, she was tremendous in helping get our 2014 house ready for the market, and she was super in closing the deal and on to settlement. The price she got for our house was unbelievable. Pam was and is a real joy to work with. I unhesitatingly recommend her as a real estate agent and professional." - Wilson
★★★★★
"Pam gave excellent advice regarding comparable home sales in our area, has excellent negotiating skills and due to her advice, my house sold in one day above the asking price, with three offers. She had also staged my house which made it look much more attractive to prospective home buyers." - Liz & Arthur
★★★★★
"My siblings and I worked with Pam to sell my parents' home after my father passed. I highly recommend Pam and her team! Pam was extremely competent and professional, and really listened to what we wanted the selling process to look like, what improvements we did/did not want to make, etc. She made excellent recommendations, staged the home beautifully, and shepherded the whole process in a way that minimized our stress. I believe we got an excellent selling price and the process was straightforward, thanks to Pam's frequent and open communication. Furthermore, our home had been in the family since it was built in 1935, and it was an emotional and hectic time. Pam was so very patient, kind and thoughtful in working with us. She even went way above and beyond and had beautiful watercolor paintings done of the home for each sibling - looking at it brings me joy and a flood of wonderful memories. Go with Pam and her team at Compass!" - Chrissy C.
