Sylvia Hevesi Day

★★★★★
"Working with Sylvia Hevesi Day as our realtor was a great experience! Of all the realtors we have worked with over many years, Sylvia was by far the best. She listened carefully and only showed us homes that were just what we were hoping to find and were beautiful. She led us through the bidding process and explained every aspect carefully. When it was time to close on our new home, Sylvia went far above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. Sylvia is a true professional who is also kind, honest, creative and intuitive, so she was able to discern and point out important details that we might have overlooked. Go with Sylvia and you will be glad you did!"

"Sylvia was an absolute pleasure to work with! She pays close attention to her clients' needs and preferences and is not pushy, which is a quality I've experienced in other realtors in the past. She helped us negotiate a great price and supported us every step of the way. As first time homebuyers, her expertise and guidance about what to expect, and what's normal and what's not, was a great help and made us feel comfortable throughout the process. She also took a lot of the lift upon herself to follow-up with various parties and get answers to tough questions. She really worked hard for us."

I always felt she was working 100% for us being there every step of the way. Sylvia is extremely organized and kept us on track with a detailed timeline. She created a beautiful listing for us and her marketing materials were perfection! As evidence of all this, we were fortunate to have multiple contracts within days of the Open House and Sylvia was successful in setting a neighborhood record with the sale. We would recommend Sylvia to anyone looking to purchase or sell their home. She is simply the best!"

"Sylvia helped us buy our dream home in Glen Echo, MD during a very competitive and unpredictable market during Covid-19. She was responsive and attentive to our needs and always available. She expertly guided us through the process and was of tremendous assistance as we sought financing, put our existing home up for rental, and more. Needless to say, it was a stressful time for our family, but Sylvia remained unfailingly calm and supportive through it all and continued to support us even weeks after the sale. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone and would not hesitate to call upon her again."

“My husband and I met Sylvia at an open house and knew that she was the right agent for us! She is helpful, really knows the city, does seriously detailed research, gives great honest advice, and her kindness speaks for itself in the great relationships she has with other agents, homeowners, and professionals around the city. We wanted a hyper-targeted search for our first house in NE and Sylvia worked her network even during a few months of slow inventory. And when a house we loved became a possibility, Sylvia did everything to make it come together so quickly! All together, it was her expertise, persistence, and relationships that helped us get our DREAM house at our budget. Truly, I am so glad we trusted Sylvia and we'd do it again!"
- Meg & Jimmy, DC

★★★★★
“We met Sylvia at an Open House she was hosting in DC a few years ago. We were instantly drawn to her lightness and kind nature and knew that when the time came for us to move back to the area, Sylvia was the agent we wanted. The process of us moving took much longer than we had anticipated but Sylvia was patient and kept in touch with us over the 2 years it took. Sylvia stayed by our side through it all even though I know we weren't the easiest clients looking at many areas throughout VA, DC and MD. Every week the interest rate was going up, making our budget go down. Sylvia never got discouraged or frustrated, she took it all in stride. Though it took us 2 months to finally find a house we loved the process was smooth. Sylvia was able to negotiate a price we were comfortable with, we were able to have the inspections we wanted and we were able to close in 3 weeks. What more could you ask for? If you're looking to buy or sell in the DC metro area (VA, DC, MD), please give Sylvia a call. You'll be hard pressed to find a more kind, patient, or hard working agent in the area."

“Sylvia has been great every step of the way. She responds to what you need at different stages of the process. For example, as a casual potential buyer she pointed us towards matching homes but gave us space to move at our pace. We never felt any pressure from her. Yet when it was time to make a quick move, she jumped into action and helped us win a bidding war on very short notice. Her advice is honest and we trust that she always has our interests in mind. She provides calm and steady guidance with great knowledge of the market and process. We highly recommend her."
- Amanda S., DC

★★★★★
“We have worked with Sylvia on both selling and buying a home. She was instrumental in negotiating the highest price ever paid for similar homes in our neighborhood. As a designer, she was invaluable in helping our home look its very best. She worked tirelessly to provide beautiful photos, videos, and everything that is so important for websites these days. Three years later, after moving out of the area, we contacted her again to help find our dream house. She did and her counsel was again invaluable, saving us a significant amount of money with her recommendations for submitting a contract. We cannot recommend her enough, an absolute pleasure to work with."

She made us feel comfortable and heard throughout the home buying experience. Sylvia answered all our of questions, scheduled our inspections, and helped clear up any first-time home buying confusion.

“Sylvia did a fantastic job helping us to sell our condo. She knew exactly what we needed to do to get the condo ready for sale. Her design expertise was invaluable. As a result, despite the soft condo market, we received multiple offers our first weekend after listing our home, and ultimately sold above the asking price. Sylvia’s advice in negotiating the offer was also extremely helpful. I felt so fortunate to have the benefit of Sylvia’s experience and knowledge."
- Aimee & Jerry, DC

★★★★★
“Sylvia was absolutely indispensable to my husband and I as we went through the process of buying our first home. She was incredibly knowledgeable of the market, responsive at all hours of the day (even on vacation), and proactive! Despite a super competitive market, Sylvia never made us feel pressured or rushed into making a decision. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and we’d recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home!"
- Nora & Andy, DC

★★★★★
“I can’t recommend Sylvia enough, especially for first time homebuyers in this challenging market. I met her at an open house more than two years before we ultimately bought our home and we hit it off right away. She met with me in person multiple times over the years, getting to know me and understand our family’s needs. She answered countless questions and went above and beyond even before we were actively looking. We felt so prepared even before we started seeing properties, and when our dream home came along she helped us position our offer to be competitive against multiple other offers and made sure we could go from sign to close smoothly. We found our home within the first month of actively looking, but I she never rushed us and only cared about finding the right fit. She is great at her job, but more importantly, she is a truly kind and genuine person who we trusted to help us with one of the most important decisions of our life. She is the best!!!"
- Alison & Paul, DC

★★★★★
“Sylvia did an outstanding job assisting us with purchasing our first home--from narrowing down what we were looking for, to finding the place, to holding our hands through negotiations, and finally navigating the mountain of paperwork at closing. Sylvia is knowledgeable and patient, has great taste, and is responsive at any hour. She even found a new lender for us when my husband switched jobs and we needed to rethink our budget. Hire Sylvia!"
- Courtney & Lenny, DC

★★★★★
“My husband and I had been looking for a home with no luck for about six months before we were lucky enough to meet Sylvia at an open house. She followed up with us and arranged a time to sit down together right away. We had been struggling with our home search process, so it was a huge relief to get to know Sylvia on a personal level before diving into the search. She focused on what was most important for us and shared her extensive industry knowledge to bring up questions we had not yet considered, helping us narrow in on what we wanted. Each showing we went to together, we could count on her to give us an honest opinion and we felt comfortable talking through how we felt about the space—good, bad or so-so. (And she reminded us not to settle for so-so!) She turned a stressful process into an empowering one. Once we had narrowed in on a neighborhood, Sylvia was able to leverage her network and get us in to see a few homes before they went on the market. We ended up closing on an off-market property—but her support didn't stop there. From financing, to inspection reports, property surveys and zoning questions—she was with us the whole way through. We found our dream home thanks to Sylvia's genuine care, the trust she built up, her vast community networks and her extensive industry knowledge. I would sincerely recommend working with her! Thanks Sylvia!"

“Sylvia helped me and my wife buy our first home. She was patient, kind, and helpful to us as we got to know the market in our target neighborhood and refined what we were looking for. Once we got serious about the property we ended up purchasing, Sylvia gave us her all. The home was being sold as is, so we had to do a lot of due diligence about its condition and make sure we knew what we were getting into. Sylvia ensured we had the right contingencies in our offer to cover us but also keep our offer competitive. Once we had an accepted offer, there were an intense few days of inspections and contractor walkthroughs before the contingency period expired. We couldn't have gotten all of it done in such a short time without Sylvia's diligence and connections. Once the contingency period expired, the rest of the time until closing was smooth sailing because of all the good groundwork Sylvia helped us lay with the title company and lender. We're loving our new house! Thanks Sylvia!"

“Sylvia was very helpful during our home buying process especially given we were first time home owners. She was able to help us find good options and neighborhoods within our budget and specifications. She coordinated well with the seller’s agents and made the closing process easy to follow and simple.
