"As a first time homebuyer, I couldn't have asked for a better agent than David Evans. He was calm, thoughtful, and strategic as we navigated the condo market in DC. David was patient and responsive to all of my (many!) questions, and really made me feel like I was his only client. We spent about five months looking and landed on the perfect place, for which David helped me navigate a competitive offer situation successfully. It's very clear that David derives so much joy helping his clients find the *right* home for them."

Adam gave me the absolute best buying agent experience I could ask for. As a first-time homebuyer, I had a TON of questions that he was always happy to answer, and he made himself available any time, any day for texts, emails, or in-person conversations. He has a deep understanding of DC real estate that leads impressive market expertise, and also helped us anticipate how to make the most competitive offer. If I buy any properties in the future, I will absolutely be asking Adam to represent me again

CS

Adam is amazing!! He is responsive, knowledgable, but beyond that, truly a joy to work with - he also gave us an honest assessment of the properties we toured, so I knew we could trust him to help us make this big decision. We were first-time homebuyers and had a million questions, but he guided us through the process and made it way less stressful than we were expecting. I can’t recommend Adam and his team more!

Shannon did an amazing job assisting us with our home purchase. She successfully helped us negotiate a very tricky housing market — without her valuable insights and negotiation skills we would not have submitted the winning offer. Further, Shannon is extraordinarily responsive and easy to work with. Simply put — we couldn’t be happier. We highly recommend Shannon if you are serious about getting the home you want!

"David was a great help as I was a first-time homebuyer. He took the time to explain the entire process to me and walked me through every step. David made sure that I met all of the necessary deadlines and answered all of my questions. David also negotiated with the seller to help me get everything that I wanted!"

"Michael was a huge help to us throughout the process with his patience and dedication; he arranged a couple of house showings on the same day or accommodated our schedules by showing the same house to us separately. He was always friendly, approachable, and quick to respond. He researched the property, coordinated with all parties involved excellently, kept us informed, and gave us valuable insight on the pre and post-offer preparations. We’re so grateful for his help and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an honest, genuine real estate agent!"

"I highly recommend Behtel for anyone in the market for buying a house or renting a property. She made the entire process of finding a rental property smooth and effortless. Behtel went above and beyond by making herself available to view properties on the same day they became available, ensuring I didn’t miss out on great opportunities. Her communication was timely and efficient, consistently keeping me informed and effectively coordinating between the property owner’s real estate agent and myself. She was proactive in submitting my requests and ensuring they were considered. I truly appreciate her dedication and excellent service throughout the process."

AL

"Mike was great to work with when buying our first home. He was always available and responsive to answer any questions we had and really helped us get through all of the stress of first-time home buying. He is very easy to work with and made the whole process smooth and enjoyable."

Home Seller

"Michael is an incredible agent. He is patient, calm, and confident. He is extremely responsive. His team is also excellent and did a great job getting our house ready for the market. His extensive contacts and strong marketing brought much more interest in our home than I expected. We got a offer we were very pleased with and expected a smooth closing. However, when we encountered unexpected challenges, Michael guided us through a difficult time. His positive attitude and creative problem solving (and good sense of humor) helped us resolve the problem and sell our house."

KS

"David completely changed what I think about when I hear “real estate agent.” His genuine care for the people behind the property is clear from the first handshake through the close. He made the whole process simple and as stress-free as it could possibly be and I’m very happy with how the search went. I’m quite picky and saw many properties but I never once felt pressured to settle. I cannot recommend David enough, not just as a real estate agenda but an expert, friend, and someone fully on your side in an otherwise complicated process."

IW

"Franky was a pleasure to work with! He was well versed in the neighborhoods that we were interested in and gave us honest feedback about properties. Franky went above and beyond when it came to negotiating with a difficult seller and got us everything we wanted. He in fact helped us deal with numerous issues with the seller after closing. I have recommended him to friends and will continue to do so."

AL

"Mike is a great agent who really understands the local real estate market. He has been wonderful at helping us navigate the process and we really feel that he had our best interest in mind. We spent a long time looking for the right home and never felt any pressure from Mike to put in an offer on something we weren’t sure about. Home buying can be stressful but Mike was always a great, leveling and calming presence and was always able to offer great insights that were helpful."

BH

We had an amazing experience working with Adam to buy our first home. He was quick, responsive and knowledgable as we worked through the process and answered all of our questions thoroughly as we navigated the market as first-time buyers. We are so happy with our home!

Kassie R.

"We give Mandy, and her knowledgeable and highly responsive team, all the credit for our recent home sale! They are just amazing. Throughout the listing and sales process, we relied extensively on Mandy's exceptional expertise. The key differentiators are her deep, insightful knowledge of the DC real estate market, her attention to detail, the team (from the photographer to the closing crew), and the ability to bring untraditional buyers available exclusively through their connections and affiliation with Compass. We highly recommend Mandy to anyone looking to buy or sell their property in the Metro Washington DC region and are most grateful for her help."

Buyer | Seller

"I have bought and/or sold a total of 6 properties with Franky. He is very responsive and knowledgeable of the market. He listens to your needs and continuously woks behind the scenes to find what you are looking for. His greatest strength, from my experience, is at the negotiation table... he's a beast. Franky's work ethic is beyond that of any other agent I have worked with in the past. Lastly, he comes with a team that will usher you through the transaction process; they make it very easy to buy/sell. I will use Franky again, and give him my highest recommendation."

ST

Shannon did an amazing job! I recommend her to any and all looking to sell or buy! She worked closely with her team to get my place ready for sale. She always gave me the up- and down-side of each decision, allowing me to make the best decision for my family. I also want to note how patient she and her team were with me when I had to do a brief pause while my young son was sick with the flu and then again to get ready for the holidays! That said, once we put my condo on the market, it looked so fabulous that we got an offer from one of the first to see it. Shannon did a wonderful job during the negotiations, and we locked down our first offer and closed the sale quickly.

C

Adam was an amazing relator. He was always professional and available and really helped us through our first time home buying process. Adam has an excellent understanding of the DC market and was able to find exactly what we were looking for.

"Behtel was extremely responsive and helped to facilitate discussions with the property manager at my new apartment building. I will be recommending her to my network."

PB

"We have worked with the Team for more than ten years now, and have completed five transactions (purchased three and sold two) in D.C. Foremost, the team has always tended to our needs every step of the way - even far beyond the buy/sell transaction, all with the utmost professionalism. What differentiates [them] is their personal touch and their process built for success and superior results. We know…they have our best interests in mind and we can trust them to get the job done!"

Z

As a first-time homebuyer, I was little nervous about purchasing a condo in D.C., but Adam took time to explain each step and made sure I was comfortable along the way. Adam made this a no-drama, smooth process, and I was able to close on the property in 30 days without issue. Highly recommend!

Alexander Baca

"We had an amazing experience working with Franky as our real estate agent while buying our first home in Washington DC! His expertise, responsiveness, and commitment to our needs made the entire process seamless. Franky was always available to answer our questions and guide us through negotiations, which gave us confidence every step of the way. Thanks to his hard work, we found the perfect home, and we couldn’t be happier. If you’re in the DC area and need a dedicated agent, we highly recommend Franky!"

"My experience working with Tess was exceptionally professional and profoundly supportive. As a Colombian applicant navigating the HPAP program, the complexities of buying a home in DC initially seemed daunting. However, Tess’s expertise and clear communication transformed this challenging process into a manageable and less stressful journey. Her thorough understanding of the intricate details involved in real estate, coupled with her dedication to ensuring that I understood every step, were invaluable. Her professionalism and exceptional client service truly stand out in Washington DC’s competitive real estate environment."

CL

We have worked with Shannon several times over the last decade both as buyers and sellers. In every way our experience has been positive. Shannon is competent and knowledgeable. But moreover, even when we first worked together, Shannon sought to learn about us and what we wanted. She is generous with her time. Shares her knowledge freely. Makes things happen and even in a difficult market stays the course through closing. Plus she is a warm and caring person. I highly recommend Shannon.

HBC

"Let’s start with TRUST! Mike has been an advocate, expert, friend, therapist throughout our entire DC home buyer / seller saga in Washington, DC. We’ve had the pleasure of working with Mike multiple times as we purchased a condo in 2014, purchased a house in 2021, and sold the condo (each experience being at the height of market insanity). He never hesitated to take the time to support our search and aid us through offer submissions all the while providing clever and unique tactics. Even though buying in both 2014 + 2021 was an emotional roller coaster, he kept a level head, explained various nuances thoroughly and constantly advocated for us. In doing so, everything worked out and we have the house of our dreams! It was a journey; we are thrilled to have had Mike along for the ride."

JC

"Mandy’s team has a deep knowledge of real estate, and are subject matter experts on buying and selling houses in DC. When I sold a co-op unit they helped me with all related items (coop rules, tenant issues, repairs, staging, etc). They went to market and sold quickly at a price which made me happy. I also bought a house with them this year and they helped me in every step of the way. They are interested in helping people achieve their goals and supporting them in whichever way makes them comfortable and confident. I highly recommend their services."

CS

Shannon helped us sell our home in DC and purchase a home in Silver Spring, Maryland. She was an amazing realtor for both transactions, and the whole team at MDT was also wonderful. The home that we sold needed some work to get it ready to sell. Shannon was very knowledgeable about what needed to be done, and she and the team recommended great contractors who did an excellent job in a very tight time frame. She told us what furniture to store and what to leave out for staging, so we were able to do the staging ourselves and didn’t have to hire anyone. Shannon also helped us set the right price for our home to help it sell quickly but still get us a fair price. In terms of buying our home. . . we really appreciated the fact that Shannon didn’t try to talk us into purchasing a more expensive home but was instead very respectful of our budget and only sent us information within the price range we requested. When the perfect house showed up on the Compass website Shannon sprang into action - she showed us the home the next day and submitted our offer before the open house. We are very grateful to Shannon and the whole team for everything they did to help us make this move.

Buyer

Tess was a pleasure to work with throughout our whole home buying process. Naturally it’s going to be stressful, but she helped take a lot of that stress of our hands by working to make sure we had a smooth close. We would definitely work with Tess again!

AM

I can’t begin to explain how amazing working with Adam over the last year was, but I’ll try! First, Adam helped us navigate the purchase of our new home during the ultra-competitive market of Spring 2022. He knows our neighborhood intimately, built a great relationship with the seller’s agent, and worked with us through multiple other offers before landing our current home. Selling our previous home proved challenging, but Adam guided us through the entire process - reducing our stress and anxiety - all while landing us a full offer in the end! We could not have done it without Adam. He earned and kept our trust, which was everything :) We would work with him again and again.

B & R

"We want to share with you that you have been great from the get go. You have been quick to respond, communicative, and so easy to work with throughout the entire process. Most certainly, we will be quick to recommend you and your service should such an opportunity arise down the road."

tmcsorley

"Extremely helpful and responsive. Has your best interests in mind. Willing to go the extra mile to be sure you’re satisfied! Helped us through the process every step of the way as first time buyers."

KB

"Mandy’s team impressed us with the level of expertise and the depth of support they provided to help us sell our house. They assisted us with everything -- overall advice, asking price, repairs, improvements, staging, settlement, and everything in between. We could not have been more pleased to have them and their very capable team to be working on our behalf. We highly recommend them and assure you that you will not be disappointed!"

TCE

"As a first-time homebuyer, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Behtel made the entire process seamless from start to finish—communicative, knowledgeable, and truly invested in my journey (highlighted by but putting in my offer while she was away visiting family!) . From answering every question I had, to navigating negotiations with confidence, she turned what could’ve been overwhelming into something easy and empowering. Highly recommend!"

JR

"I used MDT to buy two houses over the last decade. Their team is professional and prompt and helped me buy and sell and a price that worked for me."

HR

Adam diligently helped us purchase our new home and sell our existing home. He was always available to help us talk through the options available to us at each step of the process and we appreciated his expedient and direct feedback on our questions. Ultimately, with his help we were able to buy the perfect home for us with little to no stress!

JB

"I worked with David Evans to buy our awesome home in Arlington, VA. I am new to the DMV, and particularly grateful for David's professionalism, communication, and knowledge of the region. He took the time to understand our needs and preferences. With his guidance and eye for detail, we found the perfect home within our budget, in a great neighborhood. David skillfully negotiated on our behalf and ensured a smooth closing process. I highly recommend David to anyone in search of a dedicated and knowledgeable real estate representative."

DM

"I’m new to the area and worked with Behtel who was extremely helpful and knowledgeable in finding an apartment. Everything went smoothly and was so much easier than going it alone - she put together great potential spots, organized viewings and helped me decide on an amazing place."

LC

"Mandy and Alix are wonderful. You could not be in better hands if you choose them as your realtors. Super knowledgeable about the housing market, warm, supportive. They made the home sale process seamless for us!"

Buyer

"Sabrey was the perfect man for this job! He helped us to establish the best offer price, and met with us multiple times for second viewings of condominiums. He answered our questions quickly and communicated many times with the seller on our behalf. On several occasions he went to the condo to meet for inspections and with a designer when we could not make it. What impressed me most was his knowledge of the area. Navigating country life to city life is a huge adjustment and Sabrey was full of so much local information that it really helped us to feel at ease. And he was always smiling. We highly recommend Sabrey for your future real estate needs."

JTW

"Behtel was amazing to work with! She made the process of listing our first property for rent seamless and quick. Can’t wait to work with Behtel again, thank you!"

JR

"I have bought and sold three million + dollar homes with the Mandy’s team over the past 10 years. They are smart, resourceful and incredibly knowledgeable of the three neighborhoods we have lived in including Cleveland Park, Mount Pleasant and Adams Morgan. They also have great relationships with the other agents that they worked with on our transactions. An added bonus, and no small feat, is the way they helped us update, stage and prepare our homes for sale. They made the process easy, seamless and with no added stress during what could have been a difficult process. I couldn’t recommend them more highly. They are our go to team!"

Jonathan Horowitz

"David is great. He’s extremely personable and offered helpful practical advice while my wife and I were looking to find our first home. David was readily available for appointments and showings, patient with the questions we had about the buying process, and made an otherwise stressful process as unstressful as it could be. We love our new home. Thanks David!"

AS

"We loved working with Franky who, throughout the process, presented himself as a truly knowledgeable real estate professional, insightful advisor and great communicator. To top it all off, he’s super easy to work with, always being mindful of the clients’ schedules, tastes and preferences."

WM

"Franky was very helpful and full of market insight from the first day we met him at an open house. He showed us many locations throughout NW DC, and found our place through an off market opportunity. I highly recommend Franky to help you find your new home in DC."

"Tess was a pleasure to work with throughout our whole home buying process. Naturally it’s going to be stressful, but she helped take a lot of that stress of our hands by working to make sure we had a smooth close. We would definitely work with Tess again!"

SY

Adam was a dream to work with. He was incredibly attentive without being pushy, and I felt completely confident that I was in good hands and getting sound advice every step of the way. He patiently explained things to me as a first time homebuyer without ever making me feel like I was asking a dumb question. I was looking casually for a year before I ever made an offer and Adam never put any kind of pressure on me to move faster than I was comfortable, but was ready to kick it into gear the second I wanted to charge forward. He was also highly knowledgeable, reliable, and a lot of fun to work with!

CS

Adam is fantastic! He is extremely knowledgeable about DC, very responsive, and helped us find our dream home AND sell our condo sequentially (and negotiated so we could stay in the condo before moving). Besides the professionalism, he is a wonderful person, so it was fun to see him throughout the home buying process. He provides all needed info, but doesn’t pressure, and we felt like we really had him on our side. Adam is perfect for first time and seasoned home buyers alike!

NF

We worked with Shannon O’Farrell of the Mandy and David team to purchase our home in Woodridge and could not have been more pleased with the transaction, from start to finish. The entire process was made seamless and stress-free, thanks in great part to Shannon’s willingness to stick with us in a tricky market, and keep us focused and calm. The entire team worked together to find us the house of our dreams (truly!) where we will raise our family and set down roots. I would recommend the MDT team, and specifically Shannon, without any reservation!-

TD

"The Team had all the right skills, information and advice to help us sell our home. Getting right to the bottom line, they got us through the A-Z process of selling hassle free, resulting in multiple offers at a desirable price and favorable terms. They were spot-on with market analysis, proactive and prudent in providing options/advice, and always available when we had questions or just needed reassurances. We very highly recommend the MD Team."

Suzanne C.

"I worked with David Evans to sell my condo in NW DC. I would highly recommend him if you are buying or selling in DC. He is professional, kind, and knowledgeable. I appreciated his guidance and low-pressure approach throughout the process, especially as a first-time seller. He made the process seamless and easy to navigate. The condo sold the first weekend it was listed! David and his entire team were wonderful!"

TR

"David’s approach was both personal and professional. He made us feel at ease and had a wonderful sense of humor throughout the entire process. He kept us focused and on track without being a drill sergeant about it. His knowledge of the market and our neighborhood helped us find the perfect buyers for our home. In addition, the David and Mandy team supported us throughout. We couldn’t be more thrilled with the result."

Buyer | Seller

"I cannot recommend Shannon enough! This is the 3rd property I have bought working with Shannon and each transaction has been seamless. For this sale, we sold and bought in the midst of a pandemic. We were able to sell our old home in an off-market deal which allowed for us to get a competitive price and keep our family safe. The service provided by the Team (and Shannon) made the entire process incredible easy and painless. I cannot recommend Shannon and her entire team highly enough."

Buyer / Seller

"I have now bought and sold two houses with MDT. Their service, business savvy and attention to detail makes them the best choice for representation on both the Seller and Buyer sides. I also very much appreciate their professional manner in the interaction with the agents on the other side of the transaction. It was always respectful and firm with my family’s best interest at heart."

KS

"Working with Alix and Mandy from MDT Real Estate was an absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish! We had the complex task of buying two houses and selling one, and their team handled every aspect with incredible professionalism and expertise. What impressed us most was their attention to detail and their ability to juggle multiple transactions simultaneously without missing a beat. They helped us navigate the complexities of timing everything properly, ensuring our sale and purchases aligned perfectly with our needs. Highly recommend! "

AP

"Franky is dedicated to his customers. He will not sugarcoat things, and will give you his honest opinion. He and his team are responsive and have the ability to make great recommendations about vendors and various services you may need when selling your old house, and for buying a new one. I HIGHLY recommend using Franky. I hired him to both sell my house in DC and then to purchase my new house in Maryland."

MK

Adam was an extraordinary partner in my homebuying journey. He fielded my myriad of questions, slow processing and relaxed timeline with incredible patience. I never felt rushed or that any of my questions were silly or burdensome. His knowledge of local neighborhoods and insights into places I might feel most at home was very impressive. He quickly grasped what my priorities were and tirelessly searched until I found my dream home. I would recommend Adam to anyone even thinking about dipping their toe in the market if you want a tailored, honest, and pressure-free experience.

JB

Shannon was great! We needed to find a much bigger space with a second child on the way and that meant we had to branch out to other neighborhoods in the city which we were not very familiar with. She and her team were invaluable in being patient and possess a tremendous amount of local knowledge as we figured out what we wanted and where.

D

Shannon was our agent for two real estate transactions in Washington, DC. She has limitless knowledge of the market, and presented us with all the salient data so that we could make our very best decisions at every step. Shannon is a shrewd and effective negotiator, working relentlessly on our behalf behind the scenes while providing calming, sage advice to us during tricky touch points in the negotiations. She and her team were in remarkable synch and we always knew what was next at every stage of the process. Her ready smile, infinite patience, and good humor make her a joy to be around, and she takes great care to remove as much of the stress from the process as possible. If you are looking for an agent, choosing Shannon O’Farrell will one of the best decisions you will ever make.

S

Adam was extremely patient as he went through a whole variety of properties all over the city to help us narrow our options. He was extremely responsive, upfront, and professional. It is clear to us that he takes a lot of pride in ensuring that his clients are confident going into the decision. He loves DC and really helped in getting us settled.

TL

Shannon came highly recommended, and now that we have worked with her, we recommend her highly as well. She was organized, positive, realistic, accessible and hard working. We were trying to sell our apartment at the time when interest rates were raising daily, and we were not sure how things will go. Despite a tough market, Shannon approached our sale thoughtfully and we ended up finding our buyer in 15 days. Her team deserves kudos as well, very experienced and on top of things. We joked with Shannon, that she is now our agent for life, and that’s really how we feel about her and our overall experience. Thank you Shannon!

DB

"Despite being first time homeowners buying from out of state, David gave us the confidence to make an offer. From our first meeting to sourcing, to offering, to closing and even in moving he used his network of trustworthy individuals to make it smooth transition to our new home. We loved working with David and highly recommend him—he’s trustworthy, knowledgeable, and just an all around great person!"
