Testimonials:

This review includes the team of Cynthia Howar and Marilyn Charity. Both realtors were competent and attentive to details. The real estate market is volatile, and they were into into market changes. Funds were allocated to achieve the greatest return. The timeline for house updating and repair, staging, showing the property, and checking the backgrounds of buyers were kept. Importantly, they kept me informed of events, kept me in the loop, and returned my calls promptly. Thus the house sold in 10 days for full price.

Cynthia is very high-energy. If something comes along for me, she's on it! The fact that she is also a lawyer is very helpful if the need arises. She is an "A" salesperson. Always working for her client.

A knowledgeable and wonderful agent to work with... She is everything you want in an agent. Cynthia has many years of experience, gives excellent advice, knows the market in this area well, and is a pleasure to work with.

We have known Cindy personally and professionally for many years and highly recommend her as a real estate agent. She is consummately professional and well connected within the local community. Her intimate knowledge of Washington, DC, and Georgetown were invaluable when we sold both of our homes in Hillandale. She brought the perfect balance of experience, diplomacy and perseverance and was able to sell both of our homes in what was then a difficult market environment. She is clearly one of the premier realtors in the Washington, DC, area.

GW & RW

We have just closed on the purchase of a house in the Hillandale area of Washington, DC (4010 Highwood Court). Our agent was Ms. Cindy Howar. Ms. Howar has been excellent in all aspects of this transaction. She is extremely knowledgeable, efficient, and, at the same time, helpful and considerate. We certainly would recommend her to our friends and acquaintances.

Many thanks for your kind regards about the contract on my 3962 Georgetown Court listing. You've been such a wonderful help as the leader in this community as "THE" Hillandale authority. Your kindness and professionalism had been generous and sincere with answering questions small and large.

While you have known socially my sellers for years, that never tainted your help. I can only hope to emulate such ethics and professionalism in my future. It is such uncompromising standards that has drawn me to this profession.

My thanks again,

"[Cynthia Howar] provided great market knowledge and clearly worked very hard.
Most importantly, she managed to get the deal to settlement (at a good price) despite
extraordinarily challenging market conditions." PR 4/10/10

"Cynthia is among the 'best of the best' and is dedicated to the successful completion
of objectives by both BUYERS & SELLERS. That is a talent seldom seen in today's
market. My wife and I had a wonderful experience with her help and are now in a lovely
home that took months for us to find-if only we had found Cynthia a little sooner!" MH,

"Cindy is the most personable and savvy realtor I have worked with. I would recommend
her to anyone in the DC, Maryland, and northern Virginia area." AL, March 22, 2010

"My husband and I worked with Cindy to rent our townhome. She came to our rescue
after another rental agreement did not work out. She was right on the situation, helping
us find another tenant immediately. She was very tenacious, understanding, supportive
and very honest. I felt through the whole process she was by our side, helping us find a
solution to our predicament, and she did." PA, March 19, 2010

"Cynthia Howar has always proven herself to be reliable, detail oriented and focused
on my goals and needs. She has a broad network that she draws upon and is persistent
and thorough. Her experience and familiarity with DC has proven invaluable. I highly
recommend her to meet the needs of anyone looking to move to the Washington area."

"Cynthia was very responsive, thorough in her research and a genuine pleasure to work
with as a realtor." EA, March 15, 2010 (hired in 2009)

"We are very grateful for meeting Cindy Howar. We moved back to DC after 22
years in Europe. Cindy helped us get readjusted, select the right neighborhood for us,
and view over 40 houses all over DC. At the end, we found our dream house, and Cindy
helped us with designers, architects, and furniture stores. She was always very courteous, knowledgable and prompt. Great agent and a wonderful person." DR, 8/19/2013

Cindy did a great job selling our home in Hillandale for what at the time was
the highest price for a sale of a house on that block. But that was nothing compared to
the outstanding job she did finding our new home for us. We wanted to move to the
Kalorama area of Washington DC but no houses were on the market. Cindy sent letters
to owners of those homes which met our desired criteria, found several outstanding
properties from which to choose, and successfully negotiated a fair price. She is a true
professional and exactly what you would hope to find in a real estate agent." SD, 8/21/

"As a professional in the real estate industry I know dozens of residential real
estate agents and had lots of options when it came time to choose a real estate agent to
list my home. I chose to list my home with Cynthia Howar because of her experience,
knowledge of the market, professionalism, integrity, negotiating skills, dedication and
ability to get my home sold with the highest yield in the shortest amount of time. During
the entire process Cynthia provided me with detailed prospect reports, updates on sales,
competition in the market, as well as her opinions based on her strong market knowledge
and facts. She coordinated all of the open-houses, showings, paper work and made the
process as seamless as possible. Her friendly calming demeanor disguises her intense
intellect and hard-working character.
If you are looking for an agent capable of making your home selling or buying
experience as seamless and successful as possible, look no further! Cynthia Howar has
earned my highest endorsement and recommendation." WF, 8/26/2013

"Cindy proved herself to be an invaluable asset in our home buying experience
She conducts herself with integrity, professionalism and warmth, and was a pleasure to
work with. I particularly valued her honesty - she does not sugar coat matters, but rather
calls them as they are. This is a rare attribute in this industry.
She is also a Washington 'Insider' - her years of professional experience in and
around DC in a variety of different roles means you will get a level of insight from her
that is beyond the reach of regular agents. That extends to all aspects of the home buying
and selling experience. I would have no reservations in endorsing her to prospective
home buyers or sellers." BJ, 8/27/2013
