Testimonials

We made the absolute right choice in selecting Cristina Dougherty with Long & Foster to represent us with the purchase of our new home in the Northern VA area. Her professionalism, personal attention to detail and knowledge of the local market were key factors in finding / closing on our new home quickly. Overall, working with Cristina made this the best home buying process for us. We would highly recommend her to family and friends who are in the market for buying/selling their home

Cristina was very patient and professional when helping us buy our home. She keep us informed of updates and changes during the process and was proactive in making sure the other parties involved had what they need. We highly recommend Cristina and look forward to working with her and her team in future real estate transactions.

Cristina has helped us with buying, selling, and buying once again. Cristina had a great listing strategy for selling our home - in fact, we received a full ask offer before we even had the open house! The marketing material was terrific and we can't say enough about how attentive she was. She was ALWAYS available to respond to emails and phone calls. If you're selling or buying a new home - we can't recommend Cristina and her team enough!

There is only one word to describe my experience with Cristina. Awesome. Cristina is the ultimate professional who is solely committed to her client’s needs. She made the entire process of selling my condo and purchasing my new home completely stress free since she was always there for me giving me her support and advice at any time day or night. I could not be more pleased with her service.

Cristina is one of the best realtors I have worked with in my 10 years of home buying! My husband and I purchased a home in December, after two months of intense searching in an unforgiving market. Cristina was so patient with us as we relocated from the West coast and navigated different areas of Fairfax to find our forever home. She negotiated on our behalf with countless agents and was honest, but optimistic with every offer we submitted. Her responsiveness and flexibility in showing us houses last minute made me feel like we were her only clients. Cristina is so knowledgable, personable, and goes out of her way to fight for her clients.

Cristina feels like a part of our family now! She worked tirelessly to sell our townhouse while simultaneously helping us to find and purchase our new home. Cristina is knowledgeable about all things home buying and selling related. Cristina introduced us to an amazing lender. She gave us full access to her Rolodex of vendors that magically whipped our townhouse into shape before being put on the market and who are still coming to our rescue in our new home. Cristina held our hands through the process and kept us laughing and hopeful while navigating a crazy housing market amidst a pandemic. She’s a real gem- loyal, hardworking, smart, savvy, and the list goes on!

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.

Cristina went above and beyond in helping us to sell our house. She was knowledgeable and considerate of our concerns regarding Covid-19. As such, she made herself available to interface with our workmen and buyers. With her help, we were able to sell our house quickly and with minimal contact.

We recommend Cristina wholeheartedly.

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.
