Testimonials

Cristina was our agent for buying our new home and selling our old one. During both transactions, we felt that Cristina listened to us and guided us with her expertise, but she was also flexible and was willing to work "outside the box" so that we could purchase the home we wanted when we wanted to do so. Even though we knew that Cristina had many more clients, it never felt like we were one of many. We received the individual attention that we needed and trusted that she would get the job done, even in the midst of renovations, repairs and the unexpected for both the home we were selling and the one we were buying. In addition to being a pro, Cristina was always encouraging and enthusiastic through each step of the process, even when we were overwhelmed and needed a gentle push to keep going. We would highly recommend Cristina!

Cristina was recommended to us by friends, and we are so happy after working with her! She really knows the market, advertised well, helped us prepare, and made the whole process seamless. We got above asking price and the buyer waived the home inspection, with multiple offers. She's the best! Would recommend her 10 times out of 10.

It was clear from the first time I met Cristina Dougherty that she had a good understanding of the local real estate market and price trends. She was amazing throughout the entire process. She kept us updated in real time and definitely went the extra mile to ensure we received the best possible deal. Cristina was knowledgeable and professional, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a top notch realtor! John Ferraro, Fairfax

We used Cristina to sell our previous home and to buy our new one. In both cases, she and her team were exceptional.

For the selling process, we received frank and knowledgeable input about pricing, staging, pre-sale repairs that positioned us perfectly for the market. Our house was an exceptional property (in our view) in a complicated neighborhood. The sales experience, from listing, open house, showings, to negotiations and final settlement was seamless. In particular, her team's help with staging and photographs for the listing was amazing.
For our purchase, we were looking for a fairly unusual set of parameters. Cristina was again exceptional. Her knowledge of the market combined with patience and persistence helped us find and negotiate the purchase of a perfect new home. She works with a quality team of professionals that can assist with everything -- quality inspections (top notch!), termite inspection, or even tradesmen that may be needed for either selling or buying.

Both of my adult children have used her team to both buy and sell with similarly positive experiences.

She has my highest recommendation.

Cristina was amazing! Being a first time seller she walked me through every step and always made herself available for any questions/concerns that came up. Cristina was very professional but also made you feel like a friend. I would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling their home!

We expected our house to sell very quickly given we live in a very desirable neighborhood in a very hot market. Our house took 75 days to sell! Cristina was very much on the ball changing strategy when she needed to and had wonderful ideas to help our house get seen. Cristina was able to find the perfect buyers for our home. She was always a pure delight to work with. She knows the neighborhood extremely well and knows what current buyers desire. She was excellent handling the sale all the way to closing, making sure everything was done correctly. My husband and I enjoyed working with Cristina and highly recommend her to anyone interested in buying or selling their home.

Professional, flexible, and very responsive. Handled many moving parts on a simultaneous buy/sell. Would recommend anybody in the market to reach out to Cristina and her team.

Cristina made our home purchasing experience great in so many ways. She used her contacts in the industry to get us the best pricing on attaining finance, home inspection, and even home insurance after we made our purchase. All of her hard work made our home purchase process effortless on our end, and she was with us every step of the way. I can't thank her enough for her genuine effort to make sure that my wife and I bought exactly what we wanted; and we did. We have no plans of moving any time soon, but if we did, I wouldn't think of anyone other than Cristina to help make it happen.

Cristina was great! We had been working with her informally for over a year just showing us houses in a neighborhood we desired and sharing her opinions and predictions of the market. Once the timing was right, she sprang into action.

On the sell side, Cristina got our house staged, photographed, and listed in a flash. We had tons of interest and multiple offers. A few contracts did flake out, but she kept at it and got us to closing.

On the buy side, we had a difficult owner to deal with, but Cristina again used her exceptional charm and expertise to get us to closing when there were moments it seemed highly doubtful.

In short, I couldn’t give her a high enough recommendation. You will be grateful for her services.
