As a first-time homebuyer, I could not more highly recommend the Nelson Marban Group, Washington Fine Properties, and, specifically, Reyhan Craddock.
From the beginning, Reyhan focused on our home-buying needs and goals. More than just what we were looking for in a property, she discussed communication styles and preferences. We had a perfect mix of expert guidance plus access to technology tools and space to explore and do our own research as well. Reyhan was completely available for any questions and was able to provide her own expertise as well as share out the experience from the entire team. Having this team in our corner was an incredible asset in the fast-moving and competitive housing market of DC.
Reyhan walked us through homes we saw online and helped us to think through how they might fit our needs. She was able to communicate with selling agents to gather more information, so we could be as informed as possible. When we finally found "the one," she helped us set deadlines, provided recommendations for inspectors and other services. She was advocating for us in early mornings and late nights and was there to help us every step of the way.
Due to the incredible work by Reyhan and the experience and ability to move quickly that comes with such an incredible team, we were able to act fast, negotiate on the contract to make it even more favorable, and put in a bid under asking without competition (unheard of in this neighborhood.)
I'm so glad Reyhan was able to be our guide in purchasing our first home, and I've been able to witness the amazing Nelson Marban team who operates professionally but also on a personal level as a big family who truly cares about their clients.
This is a short note to express how happy my wife and I have been with the excellent work and support which Liz Mandle has provided for us as we searched, offered and closed on a house. We first met Liz in December, submitted an offer in late January and successfully closed in late February.
From the very beginning of our interactions with Liz, she was not only very kind and easy to work with, but also professional, efficient and effective in her work. We truly believe that she helped us get an excellent price on the house we ended up buying and that we wouldn't have been able to achieve the same result without her (or another agent for that matter). She was always available and responsive, willing to go the extra mile to provide us with additional thoughts/ideas/comparables to give us comfort that every angle had been considered. All around she gave us comfort that we were in good hands and made the whole process enjoyable and easy.
We will strongly recommend her to our friends and contacts who are beginning a home search, and think that, in Liz, you have an excellent asset on your team.
We just wanted to convey how happy we were with her work and how much we appreciated her expertise and kind support.
Best regards,
