RJ Thacher

​ ★★★★★
"Working with RJ has been such a pleasure when I purchased my place! RJ is incredibly knowledgeable about trends in the market and has great insight into pricing which was so useful in making my decision. She also was able to explain the closing process which can otherwise be really complicated, so it was very reassuring having her represent me as a buyer. I'd definitely recommend her to everyone for their real estate needs!"- Frank Krol

"We had the great good fortune of having RJ Thacher as our real estate agent. She was recommended by a friend and fellow real estate agent. After owning a single-family home in the Midwest for 40+years, we needed to find a new house close to our grandchildren in Northern Virginia during the Covid pandemic. She navigated us through the various choices and tough Fairfax County/Beltway real estate market. She toured properties with us and for us, finally helping us buy a home virtually. Her judgment and advise and knowledge of our needs and expectations were right on target, and we couldn't be more pleased with our new home. She personally "walked" us through all aspects of the negotiations and purchase and accompanied us to the closing- all the while orienting us to unfamiliar state and local regulations and troubleshooting our move. We so appreciate her professionalism and personal attention and cannot recommend her highly enough."-Laura David and Tom Murphyl

"RJ has been my real estate agent since 2016 and I have purchased 3 houses with her in that time. Previously, I have bought and sold two properties with other agents. So, I speak with authority when I say RJ is unbeatable. No one will be a more fun, thoughtful, or hardworking ally when buying a house in northern VA. She is aggressive with a potential seller/buyer when she needs to and has incredible experience and knowledge of NOVA. I plan to sell two properties in the next couple years and I won’t consider working with anyone but RJ."-Alana Querze

"RJ’s service exceeded all of my expectations. She worked tirelessly to identify and visit numerous properties, for over two years, and did so patiently and with good humor. She had the connections to identify properties before they went on the market and the property that I bought and closed on in July 2024 was one that never officially went on the market. I could not be more pleased with my new home. She is now a friend and I have worked with many other real estate agents and she stands head and shoulders above anyone else. Bottom line is that I recommend her without equivocation. An A+++ agent. Thank you very much RJ!"-Lars-Erik Hjelm

"With RJ, you always feel like she has your back and goes the extra mile to arrange/communicate with contractors etc., throughout the buying and selling processes. She has a wealth of knowledge and many connections that she uses to solve problems and take the burden off her clients. We just worked with RJ for the 4th time in 10 years, which goes to show how highly we regard her. Do yourself a favor and give her a call."-Tom Ferrante

"We met RJ a decade ago when she helped my husband find a condo to rent. Since then, she’s helped us find a rental home, sell one home, and buy two! RJ is responsive, energetic, and friendly. She is tenacious in getting the best property for her clients at the best price. She knows the area well, and is great at finding contractors, suppliers, and answers to almost anything. She has truly gone out of her way to make our home wishes a reality! I highly recommend working with RJ for your next move. We adore her so much that our kid named a puffin stuffy ‘RJ’ in her honor!"-Luci F.

"We recently purchased a house and RJ was our agent.. My husband and I started looking for a house by going to open houses and we met RJ at one of the open houses we went to. She made a really good first impression to us and we're glad that we chose her to be our agent. She was very helpful from the beginning to the end. She was very patient and took time answering our questions. Her expertise and timely response makes her really reliable. Unlike other agents, we never find her pushy, she was very honest with giving her opinion. She gave us valuable suggestions while negotiating with the seller and she explained/guided us the entire process. Our husband and I work full time which gave us time limitation but RJ was flexible with timing and availability. We had an agreement that RJ will help us selling our property as well, so we were able to negotiate some credits however, in the end, we decided not to sell our property. But RJ really proved it to us that she doesn't care about commission, she's very happy that she's able help us and really showed us that she really cares about her customers and she loves what she does. We highly recommend RJ. She is very knowledgeable, patient, honest, responsive, and very easy to work with! We really enjoyed working with her." - Lavender

"I recently worked with RJ to sell my Arlington, VA home. Throughout the process, RJ kept me informed as to what the market comps were for similar properties. She was always accessible and communicated in a direct and honest manner. I felt like she had my best interests in mind at all steps along the sales process. If you need to sell, RJ should be your agent!" - Mark

★★★★★
"We first met RJ when she helped our son and daughter-in-law find their first house in the DC area. Because of our "comfort level" from this experience, we chose RJ as our listing agent when we wanted to sell our VA condo. We quickly found her to be knowledgeable about the area and competitive neighborhoods and about what buyers are currently seeking in the marketplace. She was an excellent advisor about possible upgrades to our apartment and recommended quality service providers when necessary. Although a lot of the real estate sales process happens electronically these days, RJ was always responsive to our questions and was caring and supportive in seeing us through our first-ever real estate sale."

"My husband and I contacted RJ in January 2015 to discuss listing our home for sale. We had a tenant living in the home and weren't sure whether we should list the home with tenants. We scheduled a meeting with the tenants to walk through the home and see how willing they would be to help us list our home while living there. I was really impressed with RJ's calm negotiation skills and how she took the reigns of this meeting to dive into all the next step commitments that would be required from our tenants. Bottom line, they were willing to let us paint, stage, photograph, and hold an open house within a two week timeframe only because RJ made them feel comfortable. The tenants sent me very complimentary email messages about how RJ has been a joy to work with due to her amazing communication skills and I couldn't agree more since we live out of state. She made recommendations that all worked in our favor. Our home was listed on Thursday night, an open house on Sunday and full price offer that night. I can't say enough great things about RJ and you would be lucky to have her as your realtor."

"My experience was excellent from start to finish. She listened to what I wanted, tried hard to understand what I was looking for and worked to find a home that met my desires instead of trying to talk me into something else. She was also flexible and patient as to finding times to look at properties. Once I made my choice, she was very helpful in walking me through the process, making me aware of financing alternatives, keeping me within my budget, and generally staying on top of everything until the closing. Plus she is very friendly and easy to work with. If I ever decide to move again, she will definitely be my agent! I have already recommended her to friends who are considering buying a home and will do so again if they ever decide to act."
