Testimonials

“Ryan Nicholas was an exceptional professional with close attention to detail and great communication. As a first-time home buyer, I was definitely new to the process and had a lot of questions/concerns. Ryan was able to confidently and informatively answer all my questions and even recommend reliable professionals for services like lending, home inspection, titling, home improvement, etc. I have already recommended Ryan Nicholas and The DamonSellsHomes Team to friends and family, and will continue to do so!“

“We worked primarily with Haley McBryan and had a phenomenal experience. She was prompt and helpful in her responses and provided valuable insight as we navigated our first home buying process. Haley was also able to accommodate our schedule and helped us focus our search on the properties that were the best fit for us. She was respectful of our budget and home goals, and it never felt like she was pushing us towards a property that was too expensive or didn’t fit our needs. She was also able to provide valuable references for inspectors and a handyman. We had a great experience with Haley McBryan and the entire DamonSellsHomes Team, and we would recommend them to others buying their first house.“

“We honestly never thought of going with anyone else as The DamonSellsHomes Team is the preeminent Reality team in Northern Virginia. That huge grin you see on our face is a direct result of how good it feels to have an entire team of this caliber working on your behalf, looking after every detail, proactively answering questions you hadn’t yet thought to ask, and providing an overall level of expertise unmatched in the Northern Virginia area. When you work with them, they will build a plan for your specific situation and go far above and beyond to deliver on that plan. Ryan Nicholas jumped in to lead the effort to list and sell our home and I can promise, you will not find an agent willing to work smarter and harder for you than Ryan. He was very proactive in following up with interested parties rather than sitting back waiting for an offer to come in. Haley McBryan and Josie Barondess spent time in our home delivering their staging expertise because they know that better staging will land you a better deal. Damon Nicholas provided invaluable wisdom and strategic guidance in dealing with the multiple offers after just 3 days on the market. It takes a team to sell your house in this market and The DamonSellsHomes Team is simply the best there is.”

“Barbara Blumer made the process and experience of buying my first home extremely enjoyable. She made me feel comfortable throughout the process and did her job so well that it made everyone else involved with the purchase of the home look bad!”

“The DamonSellsHomes Team was an efficient unit that clearly knows how to work together in order to give their client the best experience. They did a really good job with taking the stress and worry out of home buying. They gave us great recommendations and a step by step guide on the whole process.“

“Steve Fred with The DamonSellsHomes Team was extremely thorough and efficient. He was courteous and professional from beginning to end. Would deal with him again without any hesitation.“

“Our process was quick, we were not really looking at purchasing a new home. However, we found an open house one weekend and determined very quickly the home met all of our expectations. We called Barbara Blumer on a Sunday evening, by the time we met with her on Monday she had already been to the new home and pulled comps on the surrounding area. Needless to say we were very impressed with her thoroughness and responsiveness to our initial request. Within weeks Barbara guided us through putting our current home on the market and negotiating a great deal on the new home. We closed on both properties within a week of one another. All went down without any drama for happy buyers and sellers. A win-win for everyone!”

“My experience of both buying and selling my homes was stress free with the assistance of The DamonSellsHomes Team. They negotiated on my behalf thus maximizing my profit and my savings. I highly recommend them for property transactions!“
