I would highly recommend Susan Meeks. Super response and helpful during the listing process and sale of property in Alexandria, Va. The property needed some work done and she was able to get a contractor in a timely fashion. Super professional ! Thank you.

My husband and I loved working with Jason Schneider and can't recommend him enough! He was our lead agent for purchasing our first home, which can be very daunting and intimidating in this wild market. Jason was not only knowledgable, responsive, and professionalhe was a straight-shooter and made the whole process feel easy and pleasant.

Jason Schneider was our lead agent, and we were so happy with the service he provided throughout the process. He started working with us months in advance to let us know how to get our house ready for listing. He knew the market and the neighborhood so well, he knew just what we needed to do to get the most for our house (and to not waste money on improvements that would not see a return). Once we were ready for listing, he and his team made sure we had the best photos, flyers, and publicity to get our house noticed. We were under contract within 72 hours of listing! Jason definitely knows his

The rental side of this company does NOT follow Covid protocols, allowing 35 showings in a week and 1/2 of a tenant occupied property. They also don't follow the 24 hour rule to access the property with due notice to the tenant. Do NOT rent from them.

Susan Meeks is superb! She was our property manager for over 12 years and just recently was the agent who sold our home. She is very professional, communicative, honest and timely in all of her interactions. I would highly recommend her for her integrity and expertise. It has been a pleasure working with her.

Anyone looking for a great realtor should look no further than Jason Schneider! He was lead agent, came in, and delivered exactly what my wife and I wanted (and got us more!). He provided excellent service and was flexible as needed. Selling a home is stressful but Jason made it as painless as it could possibly be. I recommend Jason to anyone look to sell/buy a home.

I used Tom & Cindy to sell our home in Kingstowne and Jason Schneider was our lead agent. Due to the pandemic and some scheduling issues, our move date kept fluctuating. Jason was patient during this time, only concerned that we made the decision that was right for us. He answered all our questions promptly and provided great service with useful ideas. In the end he had multiple offers for our home within two days of our move. I would recommend him without hesitation.
