Why Work With Us?

I wanted to say "thank you" to Omar Younes for helping me purchase a condo in Arlington. Omar did a tremendous job: he was detail oriented, data oriented, realistic, and overall very helpful. As a first-time condo buyer, Omar helped me understand the risks; he crunched numbers regarding the potential investment values of various properties; he patiently monitored potential purchase opportunities over the course of a few months; and he asked all the right questions about the health of the condo association's finances, maintenance issues, etc. Very impressive job and I highly recommend Omar.

Lori treated us with care and sensitivity, knowing it was our family home. She kept us informed and led us through the whole journey in a way that made it painless.

I needed to find a place to live quickly after selling my home. I would be moving from a very large home into a much smaller rental, and I needed to find a place quickly. I had very specific requirements within a certain price range, as well as a very specific geographic area. Jonathan Shafran quickly figured out my tastes and helped me find the perfect place in one day. It is close to my office and meets all of my criteria while coming in under my anticipated price.  We both knew that this rental would not remain available for very long, so Jonathan helped me complete all the paperwork in record time to secure the unit. He was excellent at keeping me informed every step of the way. I highly recommend Jonathan as a diligent, professional Realtor.

After a very unfortunate experience with our first listing agent, we were so grateful to have found Lori. She came highly recommended to us by friends that had hired her to sell their home, which she sold within 3 weeks. She was a breath of fresh air in contrast to our previous experience. When we first met with Lori, she was well prepared with a proposed strategy and marketing plan to get our home sold quickly. She offered reasonable suggestions as to what we should do to the home before re-listing (staging, etc). We immediately felt comfortable with her as she brought a sense of calmness to what can be an otherwise overwhelming process. We are very particular about our home and our main concern was keeping the house secured as we had already moved out of the home. Lori was incredibly respectful of our needs and always cognizant of making sure our house was properly secured. Throughout the process, Lori kept us informed and was always available when we contacted her. Within two weeks, we received an offer. From contract to closing, the process was flawless due to Lori's high level of detail and competency. Our extended gratitude to Lori for making this a pleasant experience. We would absolutely recommend her!

Lori is incredibly knowledgeable of the Great Falls/Reston/McLean area. She is diligent in doing her homework and providing meaningful details about each property she shows. She was helpful in providing information about the schools, shopping, landscapers, carpenters, etc. Additionally, Lori was able to be firm and intentional when it was required. A skill that came in handy a couple of times!”

Lori is great to work with and her experience, responsiveness and connections make working with her a pleasure and worth the commission. In the course of buying and selling homes with Lori I have benefited from her experience in complex situations on tight timelines and she navigated the hurdles to a successful close each time. Beyond what you would expect from a realtor Lori also delivers an excellent network of reliable professionals for anything you might need. Landscapers, interior designers, home inspectors, tree removal, driveway paving, whatever you need she knows someone that will fit your budget and do a great job. In a world where everyone seems to be selling real estate Lori stand out as a true Realtor who earns her commission.

Lori is such an amazing professional and very pleasant to work with. She gave us really good advice without being pushy about what to do to get the best price for our home. We followed her advice and had an offer with a quick close (which we preferred) in less than a month after listing. There were a few bumps in the road (brought on by [the] buyer) but Lori worked hard to smooth things out. She is helpful and worked hard to get us good contractors at a reasonable price when we didn't already have people we had worked with in the past. I highly recommend working with Lori.

Lori is the most amazing real estate professional we have ever encountered. We recently worked with her to sell our $3 million home in Great Falls. Her hard work, knowledge and attention to every detail to selling our home really paid off. She created an amazing website for our listing, with interactive floorplans and attractive photographs from every angle of our beautiful custom-built home. 
Our home was listed in MLS late in September and we had only little hope that our house would sell this year due to the price, the market and the timing. Lori worked so hard to reach out to every local agent who possibly had potential buyers. She remained positive and optimistic all the time. We received a cash offer only in 5 weeks! 
During the time of negotiation, Lori really focused on those key terms of the contract and made sure we had a successful transaction to close. Not only did she walk us through every step of the contingency removal process, she actually handled many details for us through closing! It couldn’t have been a more pleasant experience. 
We highly recommend Lori for anyone looking for some rewarding experience and peace of mind when selling or buying a house. Thank you so much, Lori!!!

Lori is a wonderful agent. Besides being professional, she offered a lot of help during our transaction period. She actively explained all detail to me, who's a first time home owner, again and again. It's highly recommended to work with her!

"Lori is the consummate professional. She understands the market, the process, and the the needs of her client. No detail is too small for her to handle. At the same time, she never lost sight of the goal, which was to close the deal. The agent for the seller was inexperienced and a part-timer. He was difficult to get in touch with and his responses were rarely complete. Lori was dogged. She worked through every issue that arose and kept the other agent on task. She was also very effective when negotiating price, explaining the rationale for our price point. In short, she’s great!"
