“We used Barbara about 2 years ago to find our first home in Harford County. We worked with Barbara and she showed us quite a few houses all within our budget and wants in a home. Being new to the process, Barbara was great. At times, when we needed it, she held our hand sort to speak through the process and gave us information so we learned the process too. We would definitely recommend working with Barbara to find your first home or any home. She seemed very knowledgeable about Baltimore County and Harford County. We have since referred a few friends and family members to her.”

"Selling a property is no small feat, especially when you're over 1500 miles away. Enter David, our real estate agent, who transformed what could have been an impossible challenge into a great experience.
David wasn't just a realtor to us; he was our project manager, our eyes and ears, and most importantly, our peace of mind. When we needed appliances installed, repairs overseen, and an open hou… Read Morese held, David stepped up, ensuring every task was completed to perfection. He even stopped by the house regularly just to 'check on things' for us. His dedication meant that despite being miles away, we were never out of the loop—regular calls, texts, and emails kept us informed and involved every step of the way.
Emotionally, selling a house for the first time was a rollercoaster. Yet, David's no-nonsense, honest approach, coupled with his constant reassurance, made us feel secure. His ability to manage the project was unparalleled, truly making him an indispensable ally in anyone's corner.
Even when our first offer fell through—a moment that could easily have disheartened any seller—David's exceptional communication skills shone through. He kept us informed throughout every stage, ensuring we understood the process and remained hopeful for what was to come.
David's direct, honest communication was not just refreshing but reassuring. He told it like it was, always truthful, yet always with the reassurance that everything would turn out okay. And it did—beyond our expectations. In the end, David secured a sale price for our house that exceeded what we had hoped for.
To anyone facing the prospect of selling their home, especially from a distance, choosing David as your real estate agent means choosing success. His exceptional service, integrity, and dedication not only made our sale possible but made it a remarkable success. Thank you, David, not just for being an outstanding real estate agent, but for being the support and guide we desperately needed." Read Less

"David sold us our first home in 35 days. This second time around it took us only 30 days. Going with him again was an easy decision because he is less interested in a commission and more interested in helping you find the right place for the right price. He listened to what we wanted and worked with us to get it. He negotiated with the seller in a way that was not cut throat, but respectful and pr… Read Moreofessional in order to keep everyone satisfied. The confidence, advice, and wisdom that David brings to the table is enough to make a guy miss his dad. It feels like family when working with David, and we would recommend him in a heartbeat.

"Words can't express how grateful my husband and I are for having Jessica Maher as our realtor. Her wisdom and guidance paid off throughout a year-long search for the perfect home. She has a keen eye for high quality and will not push you to make a decision you are not fully confident in. Thanks to Jess, we are so happy to be in our new home."

"Cindy and the team were amazing to work with. Cindy's extensive knowledge was an incredible help during our 1.5-year housing search. She learns who you are and what you want, and then ends up knowing what you are looking for better than you do yourself at times!! Today we closed on the perfect home. THANK YOU to Cindy and the whole team! It wouldn't have happened without you!"

"Cindy Riley is a professional, straight shooting agent with a wealth of knowledge and experience in the industry.

I am a first time home buyer with virtually no knowledge about real estate and Cindy patiently and expertly guided me through the entire process--and over the course of several years--until I finally found exactly the right house in the right location for me.
Cindy works closely with another superb agent, Jessica Maher, and as a result you get two agents for the price of one: whenever Cindy couldn't get back to me right away, Jess did, and I felt incredibly well cared for through what would otherwise have been a rather stressful process. I come from a family full of lawyers and Cindy and Jess made sure to address all of their many concerns until even my many advisors were satisfied.
If you are looking for agents who are not pushy or salesy and who will genuinely look after your best interests, then look no further: Cindy and Jess will take care of you as if you were part of their own family. I cannot recommend them highly enough." Read Less

"Shannon is someone I would describe as “born for real estate.” From our initial phone call, my fiancé and I, who are first-time MD home buyers, knew she was the right agent for us.
