“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!”

"Working with Van made for an amazing first time buyer experience. As someone hitting the market for the first time with not much knowledge on the process and steps involved he did an outstanding job walking me through everything and making the process stress-free. Just to share an example, when i was first connected with James my timeline for my home purchase was still 9 months down, however that … Read Moredidn’t stop him from taking the time to show me some potential properties to help me get an idea of what would be perfect for me. At the same time, he got me connected me with an amazing mortgage lender that was able to get me locked in with an interest rate much lower than than the market rate. A notable moment that speaks to his character as well came when a home that he helped me get under contract for turned out to have major home improvement needs after we completed a home inspection. Instead of pushing to get the deal done, James’ only focus was making sure I was comfortable with the decision to either walk away or move forward with the purchase. In addition, after supporting my decision to walk away, without losing stride he went right back into finding what would become the ideal home for me. After several weeks of being on the market, and getting frustrated with how fast homes were going under contract, James was able to leverage his network to find homes before they go on the market, and really allowed me to able to have a chance to purchase the ideal home that was perfect for me. All in all, i highly recommend Van as a realtor, not only for his ability to find the perfect home and utilize his network to get great rates and properties, but overall for his desire and passion to do right by his buyers!"

"I have never worked with a more professional, competent and responsive person in any relationship with a service line or vendor. Jamie truly was stellar! There were challenges every step of the way and she had an immediate successful response each time. I had my house on the market for two years with other realtors and she sold it in a weekend!"

She knows the business, the market trends, and the Baltimore area inside and out, and her advice is based on her knowledge and experience and with the client’s best interest in mind.

"My wife and I (and other members of our family) have used Jamie for 3 different home purchases and sales over the past 13 years. She is very knowledgeable regarding the real estate market, the details and contractual procedures involved in buying or selling a property, and what it takes to accomplish a timely sale. Most recently she worked with us to sell a condominium in a crowded market. She gav… Read Moree us excellent advice on low cost improvements and staging which resulted in a sale the first day it was listed. We were very satisfied. Prior to that, she was the realtor for our daughter and her husband when they purchased their first house. Unfortunately, the seller turned out to be extremely difficult to work with, but Jamie persevered and was able to bring the sale to a successful conclusion. Please consider this an honest and objective review. I would have little patience with a realtor who did a mediocre job. Jamie is truly a very competent professional and we would not hesitate to use her services again if the need arises." Read Less

"My wife and I chose Jamie to be our buyer's agent after coming across a listing she was selling. I was thoroughly impressed by her attention to detail.
