Liz Lord helped us buy our first home in Falls Church in the summer of 2022, after a crazy spring market. We knew nothing at all about home-buying and chose Liz to represent us because she had been highly recommended by dozens of colleagues. Liz helped us navigate a complex process in an insane market and was incredibly responsive, answering our texts in the middle of the night (her time) and virtually showing us homes within hours of listing while we were on a different continent. As a lawyer, she expertly wrote, revised, and negotiated our contracts, ensuring that our interests were fully protected under local law. Before we purchased our home, she researched the contractors who had renovated it, making sure they were properly licensed and that all permits had been correctly opened and closed. She is a master negotiator, who leveraged her relationships with lenders to help us secure an excellent rate. We have also contacted Liz many times since we closed on our property, for advice on everything from contractor recommendations to dishwasher operation to property tax. Liz is so reliable, responsive, and knowledgeable that she will always be the first person I call for any real estate needs in the future. We were so lucky to have had her on our side throughout this process!— A. McFadyen & S. Esquith
