Top Real estate consultants in Washington, United States

Mark is a fantastic agent! He just helped us sell our DC condo in 3 days for above the asking price. Multiple offers in an unpredictable market. He also helped us buy the condo back in 2015, so we have now used him twice and would do so again.

Working with Franco at Gordon James Realty has been an absolute pleasure! His professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to client satisfaction have truly impressed us. Franco's proactive approach and excellent communication skills make him an invaluable asset to our property management team. We highly recommend Franco and Gordon James Realty for anyone seeking top-notch service in the real estate industry

Emma represents Gordon James very well. She has been diligent, polite, and knowledgeable in her work. She is very responsive in her communication and goes the extra mile to ensure all issues are resolved quickly and to the utmost satisfaction of us and our tenants.

Thanks to Rob's expert advise and guidance we scored a great home during an extremely competitive time!! Rob was super responsive to all our questions every step of the way, and overall customer service was outstanding!!

I work with Camilla, she is a fabulos and caring manager of Gordon James Realty. First, she never missed a thing, so my condos business were well taken care of since she stayed on top of everything. She answered my emails promptly and gave me a good detail with clarity for me to understand. I could make decisions based on her professional analysis. I wish all the people I am working were like her, then I would have easy time every day.
Overall, she is one of the best real property managers you could get. I appreciate her services.

In the many years I've used Gordon James Real Estate Services, I've had 2 very good owner account managers: Christian and Emma. Both have been proactive and responsive in their efforts to support owners and help them with tenant support and transition. They have both made me happy with my decision to stay with GJRES to manage my property. The company has been far from perfect but they have made improvements in the last few years including hiring these 2 individuals. Because of that, I've retained them for managing my property. I hope they both get the recognition they deserve. [Feb. 23, 2024]

Gordon James Realty has been managing my condo in the heart of DC for approximately 7 years. They have done a wonderful job in showing, renting and taking care of all maintenance. Issues are addressed in a timely way and all communications are answered within minutes. I would high recommend this company to any owner who wants their property to be well cared for.

Been fortunate to work with Rob twice. His in-depth market knowledge; the white-glove, meticulous wrap-around services he provides; and excellent service make him stand out among area realtors. Rob is top-notch!

Godbless to all commenters who have had issues with the system, as it can be tricky.

We list our property on Costar and it has been fun so far, I will say if they could make a module on how tot use it that would be nice.

Gordon James started managing my condo almost two years ago and I’ve been impressed with their quality of service throughout. From the beginning of the process listing my condo to the month-to- month management, they have been timely, responsive, and thoughtful with their engagement. I’m grateful to have had them quickly address maintenance and other requests while always providing me with options that are receptive to my concerns. My tenants have likewise been pleased with the level of service received, making for a smooth relationship on both sides. Tessa has been especially helpful and kind in her approach. I’m grateful to have found them and recommend their services highly!

I am writing to express my utmost satisfaction and gratitude for the exceptional property management services provided by Emma. We have been utilizing Gordon James Realty to manage our rental property for over five+ years, and the experience has been nothing short of outstanding.

Working closely with Emma has truly been a pleasure. Her professionalism, responsiveness, and understanding of our specific needs have set a remarkable standard. Emma consistently goes above and beyond to ensure that any issues are addressed promptly and effectively, demonstrating a commitment to providing top-notch service.

One of Emma's notable strengths is her proactive approach to property maintenance. When repairs or improvements are needed, she works diligently to resolve the issues, providing us with detailed updates and pictures regularly. This level of transparency and communication has been invaluable, especially considering the challenges of managing a property overseas.

What truly distinguishes Emma is her positive work attitude and prompt willingness to assist. Her dedication to delivering a quality service is evident in every interaction. Emma's commitment to excellence has significantly contributed to our positive experience with Gordon James Realty.

I want to extend my sincere appreciation to Emma and the entire Gordon James Realty team for their exceptional service. Managing a property from afar can be challenging, but with professionals like Emma on board, the process has been remarkably smooth and stress-free.

I have used Gordon James to manage my rental units while living overseas. In recent years, I’ve become very satisfied with their professionalism and communications. My current property manager is Millie, and she has consistently been responsive, polite, on top of things, and always ready to make accommodations as the situation requires. On the leasing side, the process has always been smooth with proactive reporting /suggestions on GJ’s part in order to get the property rented quickly. Keeping both owners and tenants happy is not always easy and I find that being an engaged owner helps ensure satisfaction all around.

As a photographer who has been successfully in business since 1984, this is the worst organization I've ever worked for. They hired me to take pictures in Hartford, CT and then there was no communication when I had questions and needed support. When I expressed my concerns in an email, they simply stopped using me with no explanation or cause. Two years later, they contacted me again to appply for a job in Providence, RI, saying they were "A completely new organization with a new CEO". They set up an interview time for a day I was clear I'd have to do massive rescheduling to make, and then cancelled the interview the day before, saying they'd already hired someone. Both times they created a "bait and switch" atmosphere, promising way more than they delivered, both in terms of the amount of work, pay, and even commitment to an interview they requested and scheduled. Look around for other reviews - they are not a good company to work for if you are a creative.

I cannot thank Rob enough for all of the tremendous help and insight he provided during my house search in DC this summer. I was a first time home buyer (and self-employed) and I was very nervous about the whole process. Rob immediately alleviated all my worries and concerns. His extremely calm demeanor, friendliness and I think more than two decades of experience in the real estate business (and expertise in the DC housing market) all helped me so much find my dream condo. It was such a joy working with him -- from looking at condos and open houses together, making an offer, attending the inspection together, to closing -- he always kept me updated, followed up, and explained everything. I highly recommend working with Rob for anyone who is in the process of looking for a new home in the DMV!

Rob helped us buy our first home 14 years ago, and he assisted us again this spring when we sold that home and bought a new one. Every step of the way, he was there to give us advice based on a deep knowledge of the market and our area. He negotiated a steal of a price for our new home (with a large credit for inspection issues), plus secured a great price on our sale without losing the buyer over an unknown structural concern. It was a pleasure to work with Rob, he turns a very stressful process into a manageable one with strong communication and support along the way.

My huband and I wanted to move from North Carolina to Virginia and wanted to have a home that was relatively close to Washington DC but not so close that we needed to fight the traffic as well have an inflated price for a smaller home. We also wanted to be relatively close to a major airport and having a place close to Dulles airport seemed to be a reasonable compromise. We contacted several real estate agents from North Carolina and picked one that did have a very high rating. However, working with him for a couple of days I found that he was quite impatient and did not like it when I changed a few of the parameters. So, before things soured a great deal, I decided to quickly end the engagement with them. After waiting for a little bit, I decided to try my luck again with real estate agents in the Maryland/Virginia area. It was perhaps our lucky day when on our second try we found Rob Carter from Compass Real Estate. We described our boundary conditions regarding price, size and location, and Rob listened to us very carefully. Based on our input, he prepared a list of properties for us to visit when we would travel to VA which we did within a week after our first conversation with Rob. During the first day we saw several homes, some of which were reasonable, and some were not. Based on what we saw, I asked Rob to change some of the search criteria which he happily complied with and had some of his valuable suggestions. We did have a concern with airplane noise and Rob was able to find a noise map that he would overlay on the properties that we were interested in and would screen properties based on that map over and above the other established criteria. After going through only a few homes, we were able to come up with a home that we liked. Rob was extremely efficient in working with the sales agent for the builder and going to and fro with the offer and counter offers and within a couple of days we were able to get the deal completed. We have moved many times within the USA, but I would say that this was one of the smoothest home buying experiences that we have ever had. Rob arranged for the home inspection and was there during the inspection, he personally came to the Title company for the settlement. To our surprise, he also came for the final walkthrough with the folks from the builder and was there when we were doing our final walkthrough to check if everything was completed. So thanks to Rob’s efficiency, we were able to get the house that we wanted in VA in less than a month. Generally, home buying is a stressful exercise, but with Rob’s help it was made very easy. Within a few days after we had completed the transaction, we were surprised to receive a gift box from Rob containing some savory cakes and fruits. If sometimes down the road, we need to sell or buy other homes in the area, we will go with Rob. I would strongly recommend anyone contemplating purchasing a property in the VA / MD area, to first reach out to Rob Carter from Compass Real Estate.

I am a customer. I list on Costar and pay for the subscription to list on Loopnet. This company will not stop billing me for services I am constantly asking them to stop. I tried the 3 month option. It continues to renew. An option to cancel in the portal is not available. You have to call your assigned customer agent. Mine continue to change. Assumable, high staffing turnover. Loopnet provided good leads in 2022 but now, I receive zero. Not sure what is happening with the company... But I need a new solution. This company is making my job difficult.

A customer solution, in case, they read reviews. Please give the customer more control. We do not need assigned customer service representative or anything. You are a website that list information. Let us manage how we list. I hope someone create this solution. I will be your 1st customer.

Graham was helpful, compassionate and thorough with his responses and he and his whole team led me through my home refinance with ease.

My Partner and I purchased our first home with Rob and the team. We were located outside of the DC area when home-searching and Rob and the whole team could not have been more helpful and accommodating in assisting us with virtual tours, refining our search and finding the perfect home. Even after our purchase was complete, Rob was an invaluable resource checking in on new home items that needed fixing and providing more information when we asked. He has gone above and beyond what I would have considered a Realtor's job!

Graham and his team helped our mutual client qualify with competitive rates and provided World-Class Service!

This is the second time I have used IC and Graham for mortgages and each time has been a pleasant, smooth, and fast process

Graham is an expert who understands his clients. I am a first time home buyer. His patience with me while he explained, in detail, every aspect of the process was unexpected. I truly appreciated his approach. I would recommend him to anyone, first time buyer or last house owner.

Graham did a great job communicating the home buying process to us first time home buyers. He and his team were able to help us close in 3 weeks!

Rob was amazing to work with! He was very responsive and always willing to take the extra time to discuss exactly what I wanted. I had him update my search criteria countless times but he always helped me find houses that I would be interested in. When I finally found one that I liked, he guided me through the entire process and made sure to answer any questions I had. Rob helped me buy my first home and I can't thank him enough for everything that he did. He really is great and definitely cares about his clients. I would highly recommend him and will definitely work with him again when I am ready to move!

Mike was great. He answered all of my questions and gave helpful suggestions. I closed 20 Days after going my house.

Because of variety of food

Michael has been a very essential part of my home buying experience. Michael took his time to explain the various loan options available and he was able to suggest the loan he thought would best fit my needs. Not only did he assist with my loan option he also gave me very sound credit advice. With the help of Michael my credit score is now 100 above where I started when I began my home buying journey. Michael has been able to give me more insight on generational wealth. I am truly grateful for all of his hard work!

Based on my wonderful experience with Michael, I would highly recommend his services to family and friends!

Mike and his team were very helpful with my latest home purchase. The lender I was working with was not able to approve the loan so Mike stepped in and helped the purchase move forward seamlessly. Highly recommended

I absolutely love working with Mike! He is knowledgeable, informative and patient. He is truly a great extension to my business. Thank you for being an amazing Lender partner.

We recently used Mike Harrison to help us purchase our first home, and he was awesome. Mike is a pure professional and he was very responsive throughout the process. We will definitely be recommending him to others in the future.

Mike is very professional, thorough, and informative. He helped me sort through the best lending options, and gave me information to choose what was best for me. I’m grateful for the good honest experience especially in the pandemic because a lot of other companies were flooded with misinformation, and poor customer service. I would highly recommend Mike Harrison to anyone

Great experience buying my first home with Mike! When shopping around for a lender, I was looking for someone knowledgeable and patient. Mike was that lender. He was willing to take the time to work with me and answer all my questions concerning my loan. He made the process so easy and was there every step of the way. He is a great guy and truly cares about the people he is helping. He saved me thousands of dollars over the competing lender; I would recommend him to anyone!

Mike Closed on a condo a few months ago, he was so knowledgeable that I’ve decided to let him serve me with my own personal property purchase.

I have only positive things to say about my experience with Mark at Urban Brokers Real Estate. I'm a first time home buyer, and Mark's guidance really made the process easy to navigate. He was always available with thoughtful and thorough responses to my endless questions, and was truly wonderful to work with. Highly recommend!

My broker for the purchase of my new condo in Silver Spring was Mark Meyerdirk. I enjoyed working with Mark, his suggestions of where to look were spot on and he continued to support me in my search with a willingness to listen to my needs and a quick response to every question I had. He helped me through the entire process with a positive, helpful attitude. I found him very knowledgeable on every detail of the purchase and he helped me with excellent referrals for my insurance and moving needs for my new home. I love my new condo. Thank you Mark!

Mark and his team have helped us several times - buying our home in 2011, selling our rental condo in 2019, and selling our current home and buying a new home in July 2020. Each experience has been fantastic - the Urban Brokers team really worked to understand our goals and guide us in the direction to achieve them. When there were bumps in the road, they quickly found solutions to keep everything moving forward. Mark's extensive knowledge and contacts in financing, renovation, etc. were so helpful. Selling and buying can be really stressful, but Mark and team made it so easy for us - 3 out of 3 times.

We had a chance to work with Mark from Urban brokers with our recent house purchase, and Mark's skill and professional was above and beyond. Me and my partner were first time home buyers and we had an extremely difficult time with our lender during the appraisal process and Mark went above and beyond contacting our lender multiple times a day, assisting us in multiple conference calls with the lender, and getting involved with our lenders supervisors to make sure the appraisal process was completed in time for us to close so we didn't lose our house. If you are looking to do any real estate transaction, we can not recommend Mark highly enough. Me and my partner had a chance to work with two other realtors in our house search before working with Mark and Mark's service surpassed theirs in everyway.

Urban Brokers, and specifically Mark, is terrific. They found our DC condo for us when we were living in Florida. We had Mark take our friend to see it and they suggested we fly up to see it ourselves. We took their (mostly Mark’s) word on the awesomeness of the place and put in an offer sight unseen! They were terrific through the whole process. We went right to Urban Brokers when we were ready to upgrade to a larger home. Mark is extremely knowledgeable about the market and we’d use him every time if he hadn’t found us our forever home this time around. Urban Brokers also connected us with mortgage lenders, appraisers, staging, photographers, inspectors, pest control and more. They know buying and selling homes and are the reason I laugh when someone says they're doing it themselves to save the fees. The professionals at Urban Brokers made it worth every penny.

I have been a tenant at the 4910 Mass Ave building since 2009. I must say that in the last 11 years I have been a tenant in this building the management has been unextremely poor. The biggest problem I have faced is that the building manager has often completely ignored my occassional emails asking for maintenance or help with a problem. Recently my car was broken into in the parking lot behind the building. I reached out the management to let them so know so that they could alert other tenants, but they did not do so. I heard a few weeks after that that a visitor to the building was robbed in the elevator. Again, no word from the management. This is a safety issue! Additionally, the workers have been rude when we have asked for maintenance help and disregarded that we are an office that sees patients. They show up unannounced to fix something, expecting us to stop our workday. If we could coordinate with them it would be so much better for our business. They have also complained when we have asked for things like replacement for a lost key, or other minor issues. Considering that we pay a premium to be in this building, I am not sure why they are so difficult and unpleasant to work with.
I would never recommend leasing office space in this building and once my lease is up I plan on moving.

A Wonderful Company within itself had the pleasure of working for them as a contract security professional. They really take care of their security staff it were the security staff who weren't taking care of each other it was every man for themselves so sad.

Mark and his Urban Brokers team did a fantastic job in helping us sell our Logan Circle condo for our asking price within a week of listing. With a lot of newer competition in our market segment and an unusual floor plan, we faced a challenge in choosing the right listing price. With his careful research and familiarity with the market, Mark gave us sound advice regarding market and pricing strategy. He and his team also added value and made our experience seamless by managing the work of contractors who prepared the unit for listing, beautifully staging the property, and creating an attractive online presence for the listing. Based on the market response, I feel confident that Mark's hard work and diligence allowed us to maximize our return on our home.

Wonderful building and overall an excellent place to work! CoStar has great benefits and takes care of their employees'!

We just bought our first home, and we had an effortless, easy experience with Graham and his team. I highly recommend them. They are patient and knowledgeable, and they guide you through the financial side of home buying.

We worked with Graham to close on our first home. We closed in about 3 weeks--the process was super fast, and super easy. We were able quickly upload all the docs we needed and the process was painless. Most importantly, Graham was available on off hours (weekends, late evenings) so we could move on the home we wanted, quickly, and he was very approachable and friendly. He even came to our settlement! Highly recommend!!

I am very happy with the service I received from my loan officer, Graham Pruitt from Guaranteed Rate. Graham is very seasoned and knowledgeable with the process and industry. He was very responsive and proactive throughout the whole process. This is my first time buying a home and because of Graham he made it a seamless and fun experience. Top notch and very professional.

I worked with Rob for nearly 2 years searching for the perfect property to buy in DC. My list of requirements for my future home was quite difficult to meet, but Rob worked closely with me to find just the right properties. At every turn, he warned me off properties that didn't fit my needs and desires, told me about issues he saw with the property and neighborhood, and truly at all times kept my best interests in mind. I never felt pressured in any way to move forward, and Rob was exceptionally knowledgeable about not only various parts of DC, but also the myriad concerns that go into purchasing a property. He was always responsive and held my hand through the whole process (and through multiple offers) and I am finally (and happily) in my first home thanks to Rob!

Update: I have now purchased a second home with Rob! This time it didn't take nearly as long, but my wife and I are convinced that we would not have gotten our house without having Rob as our agent. He was able to get an offer in within 2 hours of me contacting him about it, and he got the seller's agent to agree to extend their offer deadline and to accept our offer over two others. He was, as always, extremely responsive and helpful throughout the process and has followed up since to see how things are going. I simply cannot recommend Rob highly enough!

I have used Urban Brokers to sell my house, rent and manage my house, and purchase 2 homes. Urban Brokers are excellent in every respect - trustworthy, highly responsive, knowledgeable, helpful, and definitely on your side. I have recommended Urban Brokers to my friends and when it's time to sell or buy a home in the future, I will definitely call them again.

In 2010, I purchased my first house with Urban Brokers while it was being renovated and Mark and his team made sure that I felt comfortable and knew what was going on every step of the way. Mark went above and beyond to help me find an excellent loan officer. After I purchased the home, I was so happy with the experience that I contacted him for advice on how to add value to the home and what contractors to hire.

In 2012, when I accepted an international work assignment for a year, I contacted Mark and his team to rent out my house and manage it. During the year, I didn't have to worry about anything and when I came back, the house was in excellent condition!

In 2014, I sold my house and bought a new one - with Mark and his team, the whole experience took less than 2 months. In fact, the day I met with him to discuss selling and purchasing a new home, he immediately took me to see a house that I ended up buying. Also, Mark marketed the house I was selling so well that I had two offers well above asking price in less than 48 hours. Because of Mark and his team's efforts, my house sold in four days for much much more than I expected.

Not only is Mark and his team excellent at what they do, they are great people. I highly recommend Urban Brokers.

CoStar Group gives me a platform to market my Commercial Listings. They call me to verify information. It doesn't cost me anything for the service that I have been getting. It has been helpful during listing appointments to be able to tell the Seller that it is listed where the Commercial Agents look.

This is a total rip off and I, nor would my company recommend their services to anyone! Read their terms and conditions carefully if you make the mistake of considering this service. They have reps who call and pester companies looking to get any information that they can obtain.

Great company for those seeking information on commercial properties. They have a thorough research process that involves direct owner/broker contact. Best source for verified information on current listings and data.
