Debbie Dogrul Associates, LLC. with eXp Realty Prosperity Ave, Fairfax

Monica was a tremendous help to us in preparing our condo for sale. It needed extensive renovation after a 20 year tenant left. She had the contractor resources and provided guidance on what changes would pay for themselves and what projects to avoid. Her listing writeup resulted in a torrent of showings bringing in multiple offers. We sold our unit at a new high price for similar units in our complex. We were particularly impressed with Monica's dedication to marketing an entry-level property which generated a relatively small commission for her.

Much love and many thanks to Nathan Arnold for getting our house sold so quickly. Nathan met with us about a year ago and left a lasting impression on us. At our first meeting, he made suggestions for things we could do to start getting our house ready for the market. Because of his straight forward approach when presenting his ideas about what improvements would appeal to home buyers, we knew we would work with him to sell our house when the time came. That time came quicker than we anticipated. The second time we met, we actually signed our contract and he was able to put us in touch with a contractor to get some minor home improvements done. Nathan is such a professional. There was never a time that we could not get in touch with him. The marketing exposure our house received was unbelievable. The photos and 3D tour of our house made us say “who’s house is that? I want to live there!” Our home was posted on a Thursday and we had multiple offers that Saturday well over the asking price. NATHAN YOU ROCK! Much love also to Madison Simmons. She did an excellent job preparing us for settlement after we accepted an offer on our house. Many thanks to Team Dogrul for helping us start the next chapter in our life. Thirty years in our house and many wonderful memories, but time for new memories!

Geoff Giles is awesome! Everything from his responsiveness, transparency and positive attitude made us feel confident working with him. From our initial meeting with him, we could tell that he was dedicated to helping us and we feel lucky to have been paired with him. As first-time home buyers, we had a LOT of questions and he had all the answers! He made the whole home buying process feel less stressful and easy to understand. We toured homes with him for many consecutive weekends and even some weeknights after work. He was very flexible with our schedules and made sure we had a chance to see any houses we were really interested in. We felt like he always remained in contact with us at any given time or day of the week, which really showed how committed he was to helping us find our home. Geoff gave us honest advice from addressing our market trend concerns to personal feedback on whether a house was fitting our needs, and we really appreciated all his input. When it came time to writing offers, there was no pressure and instead he ensured we not only understood but also had comfort to what we were including in each offer. From start to finish, it has truly been nothing but a pleasure working with Geoff and we highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home!

Geoff Giles was an excellent agent for us as first time home buyers! He was patient and kind enough to answer any questions and shared information about properties/locations, even for the things we didn’t know to ask. He provided us some great suggestions based on his personal experiences. It was super helpful for us as first time home buyers. We ended up choosing a perfect house that fits our lifestyle and meets a lot of our wants! We are so happy to have had Geoff as a resource during this process. He made the whole thing a lot more easier than we expected at the beginning. We definitely recommend him for any first time buyers!

What can I say, Joseph helped us finding the perfect house, in a perfect neighborhood at the price we could afford in a crazy market! He was professional, he listened to us throughout the whole process and was able to deliver. He is all you need when you are looking for your dream house!

I chose to work with Kathleen Holzhauer when I decided to sell my house in early 2022. It was such a pleasure working with her. She sold my home for $55,000 over asking price, and I had 18 offers in 3 days. She’s had a great deal of experience in real estate and is savvy about the market trends. She provided very helpful advice, was always readily available when I had questions, and was very professional. She is the best real estate agent I’ve ever dealt with..

Geoffrey Giles is the best! Look no further... Geoffrey Giles is a dedicated professional who is fun to work with! Having Geoffrey Giles on our team allowed us to focus on the fun part of house hunting and made the entire process stress free. He provided us the data needed to make an informed decision while also giving us his unmatched expertise and feel for the local market. His analytics and buying strategies gave us the competitive edge we needed to buy a house in this hot market within our budget. We found Geoffrey Giles through online reviews and are so grateful we did. Because we began the house hunting process overseas, much of it was done remotely so we needed someone we could trust. Geoffrey Giles was savvy, kept us informed, and was dedicated to delivering us a home we love. Whether we sell or buy again in Northern Virginia, Geoff will be our realtor.

We just sold our first house with Jamie Petrik from Debbie Dogrul and couldn’t be more happy. From start to closing, Jamie was knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. As first time home sellers, Jamie took the time to answer all our questions (and there were many) and really helped us to understand the process. We never felt rushed and his patience, and sense of humor, helped us to feel comfortable even during the most stressful times. Between Jamie and his fantastic coordinator, Madison, we were always kept up-to-date on each step along the way. Also, Jamie comes with a wonderful team of full-service professionals. In fact, thanks to Jamie’s network, we were able to smoothly resolve an extremely last-minute issue and still make it to closing on time.

Nathan Arnold provided outstanding service in helping us sell our condo. We knew we needed to fix up the unit for sale, but we weren't sure what exactly would be best to invest in and didn't want to hassle with contractors. Nathan took care of all of this for us, providing good options and interfacing with the contractors so that we didn't have to, all while regularly giving us status updates and checking in to see if we had any questions. The whole process of selling was smoother and quicker than we had expected - we would definitely recommend Nathan to anyone looking for a realtor!

I’m not one to normally write reviews, but Jordan was exceptional. Buying a home for the first time, Jordan made it so easy and made all of the complicated things easy to understand. He was always available via phone, text or email and taught us so much about different neighborhoods in the area, the market, ownership types, etc. He also absolutely nailed it when we ended up winning our home with 5-6 other offers on the table! Overall, Jordan provided us with the confidence that we were in good hands, which we needed and I imagine is few and far between. Would recommend him to anyone.

My husband and I have been working with Geoff for the past couple years. At first, we were just checking out the market to determine where we stood, and then in the fall of 2021 we got serious about buying. During the uncertainty of COVID, and the housing market, Geoff constantly made us feel comfortable. It is really easy to get overwhelmed being new home buyers, but Geoff helped us understand what to look for, where to apply for pre-approval that could best help us, and ultimately wrote us a winning contract. He walked us through the contract process, submitted a perfect price, and kept us comfortable with the numbers. He truly was an asset and he made us feel comfortable talking to him about vulnerabilities, and fears throughout the process. I cannot speak highly enough of Geoff and the experience we had working with him!!!! Thank you again Geoff!!

Thanks to Jay D'Alessandro, Monica Christensen, Madison Simmons, and entire Debbie Dogrul Associates team for your professionalism in completing the sale of our home. This has been a stressful time for us, particularly given the circumstances of the first buyers dropping out and the second buyers needing a delay to get their financing in order. We really appreciated that you were always available and on top of all the twists and turns, looking out for our interests and providing great guidance all along the way. Plus, you are all genuinely nice people who made things easier for us. Take care, Joyce and Tom

By a stroke of fate, I ran into Geoffrey Giles while looking at a home on Zillow. I was so lucky to run into him! Geoff is a complete professional; he is customer service focused while completely transparent and accountable about the home buying process. Not only is he knowledgeable about the northern Virginia area, but he is key in pointing out home improvement items you may not notice in a new home. When touring homes, Geoff gives you space to explore the home, while staying close by to answer any questions you think of. Geoff's best attribute is his warm and honest personality. He has a keen ability of making the home buying process fun and enjoyable. I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell their home, and will be reaching out to him when I purchase a new property!

Isaac Howard is a fantastic real estate agent and a great human being. He skillfully helped us overcome significant obstacles with the purchase of our house. Isaac listens intently and carefully, is super-knowledgeable about the markets here in Northern Virginia, gives great advice, and is a strategic negotiator. His significant abilities saved our home-purchase from a curveball that nearly derailed everything. Not only did we get the house, but it was a good choice for us at a great price which has already made a tremendous difference to our family. Thank you, Isaac!!

Geoff Giles was amazing to work with! He helped us find our dream home within budget, even through the crazy 2021 market. His expert advice on homes, prices, and local knowledge of NoVA provided a lot of insight into the homes. His advice of providing a personal letter with the offer was the reason the seller chose us! Would definitely recommend Geoff to anyone who wants a fantastic home buying experience.

Monica Christensen is the best. She helped us in many ways. First, she along with her colleague (Jay D'Alessandro) and a contractor (Moises) helped renovate our first house. Then they staged it and then they closed helped close it just over a weekend. They are diligent, pay attention to detail and understand the market very well. The whole process was painless and smooth. We made good money on the house. After the first house is sold, we decided to rent the second house and that's when Monica played a pivotal role in getting the second house fixed and rented. She is extremely professional, courteous and responds to our requests in minutes. Mind you, all this was happening as all were going through COVID Pandemic. I highly recommended Monica Christensen with 120% :)

Ashley helped us to find our dream house; working with Ashley was an excellent experience for us; she is very professional with great knowledge of her job. During our search, we found out how she works to find the best for us and explained every pros and con about buying the house to make sure we are aware of everything, and there is nothing hidden. It’s was our pleasure to work with her, and we finally found our dream house and very thankful and happy about it. We recommend Ashley to all our friends and family who want to have a great experience at The future home.

This was our second home that we sold with Nathan Arnold as our realtor. And once again, he was amazing! He was extremely responsive over multiple means; always available when we had questions. He used his expert knowledge of the market to help us choose what home improvements yielded the best returns on investment. Nathan also went above and beyond by overseeing all of the third-party work and improvements through to timely completion—especially important since we had moved out of the area before hitting the market—and our property went on sale as scheduled. Due to all of his prep work and expert navigation of the market, we received an above-asking offer that very first weekend! Look no further for an agent because standards do not get any higher.

After 30 years of living in the same home, my husband and I decided it was time for our next adventure. We are both retired and wanted to live our dream of living at the lake. That meant, for us, we had to leave our cozy home and sell it. We wanted the best for "our baby" and went with Debbie Dogrul Associates. From the start we knew we were in good hands. Jay and his team handled the preparation of our home - modest improvements to update it, the staging and open house - professionally and with a caring that impressed both of us. We were always kept aware by either Jay or one of his team - all so friendly - each step along the way in the sale process. Our home sold quickly, thanks in huge part to the experience of Debbie Dogrul Associates. We are very grateful for their help and support throughout the entire process.

Debbie Dogrul Associates with eXp Realty - specifically the team of Jay D’Alessandro, Monica Christensen, and Madison Simmons - were beyond amazing when it came to the selling of our home! From the moment we had our first consultation meeting with them, we already had a great feeling that this team would be the best choice! They are very thorough, knowledgeable, communicative, professional and personable. After our experience working with Jay, Monica, and Madison, it is easy to say that any client of theirs is in great hands! We ourselves had to relocate across country due to new jobs and weren’t even present during the prepping and showing of the house. We also had no knowledge nor experience in selling our first home. Yet this team was always available and guided us through every step, with a team of experts and contractors that were able to make their recommendations when prepping and selling our home in a timely manner. So it is easy to say that anyone and their family, can trust this team to get the job done… right! Thanks again Jay, Monica, and Madison - You all played a huge part in this very busy and stressful transition of our life.

Jamie Petrik made selling our home very easy. Thanks to Jamie it was a pleasant experience. Not only is he outstanding on the professional level but he is also patient, compassionate, caring and funny. He was always available to answer questions and kept my husband and me updated. The house sold in four days and closed in less then a month. I highly recommend Jamie. You will enjoy your time spent with him and he will do a great job for you!

Have worked with Debbie Gogrul associates half a dozen times over the last few years. Their knowledge, integrity and professionalism keeps me coming back. This was the first time I’ve worked with Monica Christensen; she did an outstanding job. She facilitated getting minor repairs made, and helped me get my property on the market within 48 hours of our first meeting. This allowed us to get to jump on another same-model property that was getting ready to come to market, and we got ours sold for above the asking price before our competitor was officially for sale. Monica got back to me quickly every time I had a question or needed help with an issue, and was with me today at our closing.

Nathan Arnold made selling my condo very easy. Being a Senior it seemed a daunting task. Thanks to Nathan it was a pleasant experience. Not only is he outstanding on the professional level but he is also patient, compassionate, caring and funny. He was always available to answer questions and keep me updated. The condo sold in four days. I thoroughly recommend Nathan, you will enjoy your time spent with him and he will do a great job for you.

Jamie Petrik is a fantastic realtor. He has helped my mom and myself to sell three homes in the last 10 years. We had a great experience and he offered a lot of insights with now to ready the home so that it would get offers within days of listing. Jamie and his team was also very responsive and their quick action was truly instrumental. Definitely will not hesitate to work with Jamie in the future.

It's really a pleasure when you encounter a professional who thoroughly knows his/her line of work well, but is also patient and understanding of the needs of her clients and works to completely satisfy those needs. That is what Ashley did for us. Despite the hectic real estate market in Fairfax, she never tired of looking for a place tailored to us and then listening and understanding our concerns and objections. In the end, she found a house that was "just what we wanted" and then guided us through the buying process. If there was a sixth star I could check for her, I would happily do so.

Tom Short was a phenomenal asset to the purchase of my new home. His carnal knowledge as a former inspector prevented me from making a bad decision in the acquisition of a new house. Tom was personable, relatable and did not mind the long hours and time it took to find the best fit for me. Months after the sale was complete, Tom routinely checks in and makes sure that my purchase is safe, sound and up to the standard it needs to be. I would highly recommend utilizing his services!

My father recently passed away and we (my 2 brothers and I) needed to sell his home. After interviewing three realtors we chose to work with Jay and Monica at Debbie Dogrul Associates. We made an excellent choice! We met with Jay and he recommended we try to sell the house "as-is" due to the lack of inventory in local homes in the target price range. He said we needed to clear the house out and do some landscaping clean-up work to improve the curb appeal. They had an excellent network of businesses to help us get everything done and Monica was extremely helpful and effective in handling the day to day issues involved with preparation of the home. It turns out that Jay's assessment of the market was right on target. The house went on the market on a Thursday and by Monday we had 7 offers including 2 that were all cash with no contingencies. After a little negotiating, we ended up with a contract for $5K over our asking price and closed 15 days after the house went on the market. Jay and Monica were great to work with, were very professional and at the same time took great personal interest in our situation. Monica in particular felt like a member of the family as she worked with us. I highly recommend Jay and Monica at Debbie Dogrul.

Geoff Giles was a phenomenal agent for us as first time home buyers! We quickly considered him our “real estate dad.” Geoff Giles was great about answering questions and sharing information about properties/locations, even for the things we didn’t know to ask. We ended up going on 2 larger days of home tours to figure out what we liked/hated and needed/wanted. We ended up choosing a perfect house that fits our lifestyle and meets a lot of our wants! We are so happy to have had Geoff Giles as a resource during this process. He made the whole thing a lot less stressful than we expected at the beginning. Highly recommend for first time buyers!

Jay D’Alessundro and his associates were fantastic throughout the process of preparing, listing and selling our home. We contacted Jay over a year before we planned to sell our house and he was more then willing to look over our property and advise us on what we should do and not do in preparing our house for listing. He was knowledgeable and honest, and even advised us not to complete certain expensive projects since they would not increase the value, safety or overall appeal of the property. The projects that we did complete, Jay recommended great contractors that performed quality work at very reasonable prices. When it came time to list our home the property was ready and sold in 2 days at a price that was more then listed and more then comparable properties sold in our area. My wife and I were very happy with our experience and highly recommend Jay and his team to anyone considering selling their home in the future.

Ashley Finco helped us buy a beautiful home in the neighborhood we wanted. It was always a pleasure seeing her, as she is positive, friendly, and easy-going. She was very sympathetic when we got outbid on the first home we bid on. She is extremely responsive, and is a great communicator. She has lots of good suggestions and contacts. Our closing went very smoothly.

Donovan is one of the best real estate agents in the DC Metro area. Period. He is very knowledgeable and is always very responsive. He is also extremely patient and detail oriented. We had a few hiccups during our closing due to the pandemic and he knew exactly how to handle the situation. We would have been left in the dark without his expertise. Also, he is very resourceful. He was able to pull a few strings to get more information when needed. That tells me he has made good connections and receives respect from his peers. You cannot do that with a cut throat attitude. We had a great time working with him and would hire him again in a heartbeat. We would highly recommend him for anyone looking to buy a home in the VA area.
