Liz is a skilled realtor who is exceptionally knowledgeable about the Northern Virginia housing market, real estate contracts, and the importance of building relationships with everyone involved in the home buying process. We would highly recommend Liz — without her, we would not have been successful in our search for our new home. Liz not only lives in Virginia, she has also researched – and is familiar with – the unique features of different neighborhoods, from commute times to the specific amenities in each area. She helped us navigate our own pre-purchase research of school profiles, resale values, and comparable rental properties to ensure that the fundamentals of any potential home was right for us. As a former real estate attorney, Liz is an expert negotiator who is a strong advocate for her clients. More importantly, Liz is forthright and honest, making sure her clients know everything about a property – from the proper permitting to potential issues with the title – so that they can make informed decisions about whether to proceed with a purchase. In the extremely competitive NOVA market, we relied on Liz and her strong relationships to navigate the home-buying process. And, when we were discouraged after losing out on a few homes due to all-cash offers or other factors beyond our control, Liz turned to her network and uncovered multiple off-market properties, one of which we successfully purchased. Her recommended home inspector and title company were easy to work with and helped us feel secure in our decision to move forward with our purchase. It is clear that Liz has developed strong relationships that help her clients succeed. For her part, Liz is easy to work with, patient yet persistent (which was critical for us since we wanted to buy a home on a 2 to 3 month timeframe), and thoughtful. She was always willing to make time for us, showing us 5-6 homes each weekend for several weeks and making herself available to talk by phone or text anytime. She genuinely cares for her clients, listening to their unique situation and needs, and works tirelessly to find the right matches for them. What I loved about Liz was that she never tried to push a property on us – she was honest, pointing out pros and cons to help us determine whether a home was right for us. She is truly the best, and I look forward to continuing to work with her when we rent our new house later this year. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home in this incredibly competitive market.— Meredith & Lewis
