“When we decided to sell our Maryland house, the choice of realtor was obvious. It was Jeri that helped us find and buy that house in a similarly tight market. When we came back to her, we found her just as knowledgeable and dedicated as we remembered. She created 'buzz' with a coming soon campaign and we identified a buyer just as soon as the house listed. When our buyer became problematic, Jeri immediately identified a new buyer at the same price by using her extensive industry contacts and staying engaged with interested buyers' agent”

“Our experience with Realtor, Jeri Herl was wonderful!! Based on Jeri’s expertise , we followed her suggestions to present our home for sale. In June ’22, we sold our home in Burtonsville Md. in the first week!! It was also sold for multiple thousands over the asking price! Jeri advised us correctly on every step. Jeri was also the realtor who sold us THIS same home 32 years ago! She was on top of the emails and paperwork and phone calls throughout the quick moving process! We absolutely recommend Jeri Herl for your home sale! Thank you Jeri! God Bless!”

"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.
