Testimonials

At our first meeting, Cristina Dougherty was courteous, professional,
knowledgeable, and encouraging. She explained the marketing plan
and provided examples of brochures and and closing disclosure. In addition, she made several reasonable suggestions to improve the property before listing.

The professional photographer presented the house in the most positive manner. I followed the advice Cristina had given me regarding the placement of furniture and pictures.

Cristina arranged for two open houses, making sure the house was ready for prospective buyers, while I was house hunting. When the house was listed, she consulted her excellent pool of resources to complete the items requested by the buyers. She ensured the seamless flow of documents and communications between the realtors, buyers, and title companies.

Cristina was just lovely to work with. She brought her expertise, enthusiasm, and calm to reduce the complexity of a major transition in my life.

I would definitely recommend Cristina and Associates, Long and
Foster, if you are buying or selling a house in their area of operation.

My experience working with Cristina was excellent. I met her through a mutual friend and from day one she treated me like family. She is very friendly, knowledgeable, caring, professional, and extremely helpful with every question or issue I had.

Throughout the process Cristina showed genuine interest in all of my needs and was sensitive to the circumstances of my situation. She even helped me look for rentals while my house was on the market without having any financial benefit from it. I felt she always went the extra mile throughout the entire process and I was getting special attention but that’s just who she is.

I am so grateful for Cristina’s help and will without a doubt use her again on the purchase of my next home.

Christina sold our old house in 4 days!
So when we found a new house it was a no brainer. We called Cristina.
She is always available. She is very friendly and nice and makes everyone feel comfortable. She is also a great negotiator.
Love her! GW, Reston, VA

We were in our home a long time, so things had changed a lot since we last had a house on the market. Cristina Dougherty was everything we wanted from an agent. She was very thorough. She explained everything we needed to do to sell our house. She was always available to answer any of our questions. She made selling our home a pleasant experience. Denise Wright, Chantilly

My husband and I were really pleased and happy with Christina throughout the whole process of searching, looking and negotiating the sale of the house we bought. Christina is very knowledgeable about the real estate in the two counties we were looking. She listened very closely to our needs and wants and found us an amazing house. What we really liked was that Christina really showed us she cared about us and finding us the best options for us. We had her hopping all over the place and not once was it ever a problem or inconvenience for her. Christina has a great knack for pointing out how a buyer could work out different scenarios to meet their needs. She was always open and honest about everything we dealt with. We were very impressed how well Christina would remind us of things we mentioned we wanted and didn’t want so we would not just settle and be unhappy. She knew that we would find something and helped us be patient. We were moving cross country so it was a big move and with the care and support Christiana gave us. The process was made easier and better. We would recommend her in a heartbeat .

Our five star review says it all. We would not have had such a successful sale of our house without Cristina. From the beginning she was very clear as to what we needed to do (and not do!) to prepare the house to put it on the market. Working with Cristina had a calming effect on us and yet she pushed us to do what we needed to do. She was very understanding and compassionate as she did this. Her years of experience makes her a great choice to work with. We ended up with 86 showings and 11 offers. We know that this is an unprecedented sellers market at this time, BUT working with Cristina made all the difference in the world.

Cristina is AMAZING. It took us several years before we were actually able to purchase our first home. She was so patient and always met with us to review our eligibility. When we were ready and finally started looking we were happy to have her. As first time home buyers we were nervous and a bit overwhelmed, but not for long! Cristina is an excellent communicator and honest. We actually almost walked out of the house we ended up buying. The home had a terrible smoke smell. She assured us the smell could be removed so we continued through the home. It was great to have her knowledge and expertise as we were walking through the home. In the end we got a great deal on a desirable neighborhood that is perfect for us. I felt like she really fought for us and made sure the house we bought was perfect for us and our situation. I would recommend her to anyone.

Cristina is a true professional, who is very knowledgeable of market conditions and sales strategies, and was a delight to work with during the sale of two properties. From our first meeting to the successful close of escrow, Cristina was was available and accessible throughout the process and maintained a good sense of humor with all of the ups and downs, helping us do the same. She knew how to showcase and price our properties and was wonderful during some tough negotiations. She made the stressful process of selling our homes home a breeze with one open house and minimal showings, and she even took care of things while on vacation. We highly recommend her!
