I used Tracy this summer to initially buy a home and then also sell my existing townhome when it appeared the market was favorable. I was referred by several friends who had also used Tracy for similar services in late 2019 and early 2020. I can honestly say that this was the best experience I could've hoped for throughout what was surely an interesting summer. The home-buying experience was extremely stressful, with a highly competitive market and low inventory. Tracy provided steady and consistent guidance throughout many weekends looking at a ton of open listings across all of Northern Virginia. After multiple offers, we finally were able to settle on a home that met all of our expectations. All of the logistics and paperwork were handled with ease and the process was thoroughly explained. Selling my townhouse was no different the next month. Consistent and steady advice on the listin…
I used Tracy this summer to initially buy a home and then also sell my existing townhome when it appeared the market was favorable. I was referred by several friends who had also used Tracy for similar services in late 2019 and early 2020. I can honestly say that this was the best experience I could've hoped for throughout what was surely an interesting summer. The home-buying experience was extremely stressful, with a highly competitive market and low inventory. Tracy provided steady and consistent guidance throughout many weekends looking at a ton of open listings across all of Northern Virginia. After multiple offers, we finally were able to settle on a home that met all of our expectations. All of the logistics and paperwork were handled with ease and the process was thoroughly explained. Selling my townhouse was no different the next month. Consistent and steady advice on the listing and prudent repairs to maximize market value. Great recommendations for contractors to do quick, quality, and cost-effective work. After being repaired, photographed, and listed we quickly were able to get to a contract with any logistics managed by Tracy and her team. It was truly an effortless process that maximized return on investment. Can not recommend Tracy and her team enough to my friends and family.
Tracy has been such a gift to our home-buying process! She came highly recommended to my boyfriend and me as we were house hunting and came through at every turn. She responded promptly each time we saw somewhere we just had to see (and so many of them!) worked with our tough schedules while keeping a great handle on all Covid considerations, and sent us great recommended properties as she came to know what we were looking for, and was speedy with comps when we were considering placing offers. She offered great advice along the way we’re both new to this! and was so reliable from day 1 that when we thought there might be a glitch with the title office, it was easy to say “We told Tracy there was a glitch, we know she’s on it” and just relax. She is kind, friendly, knowledgeable, and most importantly open and honest with great experience. I couldn’t recommend anyone more highly!
Laura is the realtor you want. She helped me find my first home. The entire process was so relaxed and stress-free. Her honesty, interest, transparency, and constant gauging of my comfort levels with the various homes we visited were the polar opposite of what I'd heard regarding realtors. She learned my likes, dislikes, must-haves, and can-live-withouts, traveled up and down with me to all the homes she thought I'd like after filtering through them, and walked me through the entire acquisition process, remaining meticulously vigilant of all variables. Her connections are second to none hard-working people who enjoy their work. I'm hoping other realtors are like her, though I'll probably just go back to her for my next home, to be safe. You're in the best hands if you have her as your realtor.
Top-notch, gold stars, 2 thumbs up! If you're looking for the best in the real estate industry, look no further than the Shively team! They have helped me sell two homes, and purchase one and I'm working on purchasing a second with their help! They explained each step of the process to me in detail but then took care of everything! Each of my homes had multiple offers, above asking, in a matter of days! These ladies are professional, punctual, and go above and beyond not only to get the job done but to get it done well. For me, when buying, they took the time to make sure that what I purchased was not just a house, but a home, no matter what the price point. The Shively Team, business minds with hearts of gold!
