Testimonials

“Ryan Nicholas and the rest of The DamonSellsHomes Team are beyond phenomenal. Before purchasing our condo, some friends had said buying a home was one of the most stressful experiences. With Ryan, we could not have had a more opposite experience. EVERYTHING was so easy. He helped us out every step of the way, explained everything, and was always there when we needed him. If you’re ever looking to buy, look no further than Ryan Nicholas and The DamonSellsHome Team. You will not regret it.”

“We hired Damon Nicholas and he sold our home in 5 days. We had our home listed with another firm and it languished for 41 days with no more than 5 showings. They overpriced our home from the start in spite of our concerns. They assured us we were not overpriced. We contacted Damon who met with us and we had a very frank discussion. We were on the same page about the value of the home and quickly decided to fire the other firm and move forward with Damon. From day one, he was professional, attentive, and communicative. From the start to finish we were fully informed of all progress as we moved forward to settlement. We highly recommend Damon Nicholas as your realty professional.”

“Exceptional service provided by Barbara Blumer and The DamonSellsHomes Team. Last fall, Barbara provided excellent service and guidance in the sale of my mother’s home. She is a true Real Estate professional who was always available to answer any question/concern that I had regarding the sale. I highly recommend Barbara Blumer and The DamonSellsHomes Team if you are in need of any real estate services in the area. It should be noted that this is the second time that I have used Barbara Blumer and The DamonSellsHomes Team within the last two years.“

“Our experience with The DamonSellsHomes Team was extremely positive. Not only were we in the market to buy our first home as a couple but we also needed to sell my condo. Steve Fred walked us through the process every step of the way, getting my condo ready to be sold and patiently taking the time to show us many MANY townhomes in our area of choice with all the amenities we requested. We were not easy customers to please but Steve found us our dream home and we couldn’t be more thrilled. The DamonSellsHomes Team is a one-stop shop to guide you in finding the next place you call home. I would recommend Steve Fred and The DamonSellsHomes Team to anyone.“

“Steve Fred sold our condo in a few days and bid the price up. He has ideas about what to spend money doing to get a property ready for listing, and also things not to spend money on, because they wouldn’t bring more net profit for the seller. He is ‘hands on’ with the property, painting this or removing that to enhance the sell-ability. Steve wants to do the necessary things to move the property and gain net profit. He also has a clear understanding of what the seller has to do and is generous and thoughtful about his advice. Steve also helped us rent our Reston property several times over the years. He is discerning and methodical in his approach to renting. We love him. Steve Fred has been wonderful to work with.”

“We worked with Barbara Blumer on both the sale of our home as well as the purchase of a home in Dominion Valley that involved new construction. Each transaction came with its own challenges in which it was especially helpful to work with someone with Barbara’s experience and expertise. Our home took a bit longer to sell given its proximity to a cemetery and busy road, but Barbara gave her all and regularly did open houses and employed a number of marketing strategies to help get it sold. While I know we weren’t her only client, given her regular communication with us, it felt that way. In terms of the new home, it was great that Barbara was already familiar with the builder and was able to provide guidance. She even came with us to the design center and provided some valuable insight regarding some of the options that were available. There were a lot of moving parts involved in getting our home sold in time to close on the new house, but Barbara was with us every step of the way and got the job done. After working with her, I would feel comfortable recommending Barbara Blumer to BOTH buyers and sellers. I’d also like to give some kudos to the other team members that also helped throughout this process, as The DamonSellsHomes Team truly acts as a team. Thank you for help getting us to the finish line. We love our new home!”

“We chose the DamonSellsHomes Team because they have years of experience in this area and know the market so well. We noticed recent homes around us that they represented sold in days and often above the asking price. Sure enough, when we put our home on the market we had several showings the first day, and the first appointment made an offer above the asking price and with no contingencies, which we accepted. Ryan Nicholas was great to work with, touching base with us and keeping us informed all through the entire process. He’s a true professional and we highly recommend Ryan Nicholas and The DamonSellsHomes Team.”

“I give Damon Nicholas all the credit for getting my Little Rocky Run home sold within a week of its listing. Damon pushed me to get the house ready, recommended several modest updates/repairs (and the excellent repairman to do the work). He and The DamonSellsHomes Team listed the house just prior to the significant mortgage rate increases – it turns out I needed that kick in the pants, and I’m grateful every day I don’t have to worry about waiting for a sale in a turbulent market. Damon Nicholas is a total professional – he’ll tell you like it is, and I recommend him without reservation.”

“My wife and I bought our first home with Josie Barondess. Home buying can seem daunting, especially to a first time home buyer – but Josie made the entire process a breeze! She was very patient with us and informative as we had many questions. I really felt like we had a partner who was invested in our best interests. She worked with us to find the perfect home in a perfect location AND for a better price than we thought we could get! If you’re thinking of buying a home, CALL JOSIE!”
