Over the past four months, we’ve had the pleasure of working with Roy to find a home for our family. We had seen first hand how pushy some realtors can be, but we were pleasantly surprised by Roy’s willingness to do everything he can to make our experience comfortable. As first time home buyers, we were not in a hurry to buy just any house, so we took our time, and Roy did not mind at all.
I had special requests and circumstances because my in-laws were going to live with us. Roy understood our concerns and went out of his way to make sure we found the right home for us.
Roy’s kindness, openness, and honesty assured us that we had chosen the right person to help us make the biggest decision we’ve made since our marriage.When we finally settled on a house, Roy spent hours there making sure everything was functioning correctly and that we would be getting the best deal possible. When our families came to visit the house, they all mentioned how nice Roy was to them and how he made them feel so comfortable.
Roy– we really appreciate your time and effort in helping us navigate the often complex house buying process. You made our visits enjoyable, and gave us the freedom to think about our choice for as long as we wanted. Our indecisiveness did not frustrate you, and your patience helped us get through the last four months.
Thank you again for everything, and we look forward to having you over in our new home!
Warm regards,
Tuqa & Ahmed

We want to thank you for the excellent service provided to us in finding a property that met our needs, our expectations and our budget. For you, providing this type of excellent service is something that you do every day; it is part of your work ethic and an enjoyable part of your job. But our situation was nothing run-of-the-mill or ordinary! Yet you made it all seem so effortless. Our situation was that we were temporarily residing in Warsaw, Poland on a State Department assignment and wanted to find a property for our son to live in while he is in college in Maryland. Neither my husband nor I were going to be able to actually view the property until it came time for closing, if even then! We wanted the property to be in an area we were familiar with, which was convenient to our son’s college and work locations, and met our investment value criteria. The property had to be not too small and not too big – as a young adult with school and work obligations would be the primary resident, and we didn’t want the property to become the nesting grounds for all of his friends. It had to be just right. Sounds like a familiar children’s story, doesn’t it?We received your name through a mortgage broker recommended by a close family friend whose advice and recommendation we hold in very high esteem. You met every expectation we had based upon that recommendation. The task of finding the “just right” property for us was, however, not uncomplicated by trying to obtain and provide information timely from such a long distance. But you rose to the challenge and overcame the extreme distance between us by making liberal use of technology in the form of sending and receiving scanned documents via email, working with our son and close friend to schedule convenient viewings of the properties, and by being a true advocate for us by advising them and us on the pros and cons of each property. You also made and took many phone calls at odd hours to keep us informed all along the way.
Additionally you were an integral part of the price negotiating process for the property we eventually selected. You provided expert advice and explained, in layman’s terms, why one price offer option was better than the other, and through consultations with the mortgage broker, were able to help us understand how each negotiated price would affect the amount of our mortgage. In the end, this resulted in the seller agreeing to our offer and in us successfully purchasing the property we wanted.Finally, your endearing personality, second only to your vast experience as a realtor, made it an absolute pleasure to work with you. You provided expert advice in a congenial and understandable manner that made it easy for us to have complete trust in you – a very important aspect of working with any realtor, but especially notable given that we didn’t have the opportunity to meet you face to face during this entire process.
Sincerest thanks,
Jan and Susan

“While everyone thinks buying a house can be stressful, that was not the case for us. Roy actually made it an ENJOYABLE experience – imagine that! So much that, even though we are settled comfortable in our new house, we miss our outings with Roy!
Roy’s knowledge of the market, while providing patient reassurance is a welcome change in the real estate industry. Throughout the entire process we knew he was truly committed to helping us find the “right” house, rather then getting us “into” a house. His dedication to service while providing warm hospitality made all of our appointments with Roy fun and something to look forward to. Roy stands out as a gem in the sea of real estate agents for the Northern Virginia area.”
Thank you Roy – we look forward to working with you again and referring you to our friends, family and colleagues! We’ll be sure to send pictures after we have the baby!![]()
