Tom Murphy
"Thanks for handling still another sale and purchase for me. As usual you had an accurate fix on the value of the property I was selling and you brought it in a fair amount higher. As for my new purchase you used all your experience and negotiating ability to get me a real fine price. You are truly my real estate agent for life." - Rosie Meza-Steel - 3 Washington Circle, Washington DC
"I really appreciate the hard work you put into our search for a home. You recommended holding back on the Georgetown house because you thought the price was too high. You then found the home on 25th street which was really a better deal and in a better location for us. I was also impressed that you were guided by our needs and pushed for the house that brought you a much lower commission. You have a very satisfied client who will be recommending you to friends." - Kathy Feghali - 25th St. Washington DC
"First I would like to thank you for the effective way you handled this sale. I appreciate being kept out of the loop in such a manner. As an out of town seller I was not in a position to handle the tenant situation and so you did it all and got me a good price to boot." - Ian Birchall - Claridge House, 950 25th St.
Ross Vann
"Ross did an excellent job in walking us through the home-buying process. He probably showed us over 50 properties and helped us factor in the pros and cons of each. He advised us well during the negotiation and provided great representation at the time of closing. We are very happy with our purchase and Ross' work!" - M. Granato
Ross not only helped us purchase an investment property, but he resolved a lot of technical and tactical issues that would have made this purchase fall apart. We are truly grateful for his help. - A. Hayri
As a first time homebuyer, I was unfamiliar with exaclty how the real estate purchasing process worked. Ross was extremley patient as I looked at multiple properties to become familiar with what was available and find the right property for me. Ross has a thorough knowledge of the market and was extremely honest about the actual value of the various potential properties. I am very happy with my home and could not have found it without his experience and guidance. Thanks Ross! - W. Ludwig

Whether using him as a buyer's agent or a seller's agent I know I'll always get exceptional results.

Michael Yochelson - Hired T.J. as a Real Estate Agent in 1998, and hired T.J. more than once“T.J. was my agent for my first home purchase, and for the sale of that home and the purchase of my current home. T.J. provided practical, down-to-earth advice in each instance, but also was insightful and creative in "negotiating the deal." He also got to know my family and recommended properties that were right for our unique needs and interests. I would recommend T.J. without reservation.” November 17, 2009

Christian Michel - Hired T.J. as a Real Estate Agent in 2003, and hired T.J. more than once“T.J. helped me become a first-time home buyer. I didn't know what I was getting myself into, but T.J. helped me feel more comfortable throughout the whole process because of his knowledge and experience. I knew that I was in good hands. I would not only hire him again but also recommend him to any of my friends looking for an expert with a good attitude. I felt confident about my final decision because I knew T.J. would never steer me wrong.” December 7, 2009

Trish Murphy - Hired T.J. as a Real Estate Agent in 2009“We moved to Maryland in the peak of the housing boom and would have been overwhelmed by the seller's market had it not been for the advice and guidance of our realtor, TJ Murphy. TJ had been well recommended by local friends for his "golden touch" in connecting clients with the house that they were seeking ... and that proved to be the case with us. His patience through the process of determining WHERE and WHAT it was that we were looking for was incredible, as we found ourselves constrained by several factors including economic, geographic, and the desire to be near good schools. After running into several discouraging dead ends in Montgomery County, TJ wisely steered us out to Frederick County where we soon found a house that not only checked off everything on our "want list" but also included a few unexpected amenities. His expert knowledge and keen negotiating skills kept us calm and confident through the bidding/closing process. As a result, we ended up getting the house of our dreams for far less than we had expected. And along the way, TJ's great sense of humor and ability to cut through the BS of home buying made the search process a most enjoyable one. Highly recommended!” December 10, 2009

Ron Ngiam - Hired T.J. as a Real Estate Agent in 2008, and hired T.J. more than once“I found TJ to be an excellent real estate agent. He quickly became attuned to the property types that would be suitable for my family and made some superb recommendations which we otherwise would have missed. TJ was also a tough negotiator when it came to sign and obtained us a better deal than we thought possible.” April 29, 2010
