“Julia Neal and her team were absolutely phenomenal in helping me navigate the home-buying process as a first-time homeowner. From the very beginning, Julia’s market expertise, responsiveness, and strategic approach made all the difference. She was pivotal in getting my offer accepted the same day, leveraging her deep knowledge of the competitive market and contract best practices to ensure a smooth and successful transaction. Her proactive communication and ability to anticipate challenges gave me full confidence throughout the process, making what could have been overwhelming feel seamless and exciting. Beyond just securing the home, Julia, and her team provided incredible support from start to post settlement—guiding me through research, home tours, inspections, and closing with unmatched professionalism. Their network of trusted professionals ensured every step was handled with care, and they patiently educated me on what to do (and what to avoid) to make smart, informed decisions. Their dedication and expertise made all the difference, and I couldn’t have asked for a better team. If you’re looking for a realtor who truly puts your best interests first and makes the process effortless, I highly recommend Julia Neal and her team!”

“Julia is the best real estate agent my husband and I have ever used, and we have used many. I would give her ten stars if I could. My husband and I are newly retired seniors and we were worried about being able to manage everything during our move, but Julia and her team managed everything beautifully! Through the purchase of our new townhouse in the city, to the sale of our lakefront condo, everything was handled with professionalism and competence. We could have not made this move without Julia and her team. We are extremely grateful.”

"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 wiRead MoreRead Less

"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 houRead MoreRead 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 prRead MoreRead Less

"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!"

"I came into the home buying process not knowing much at all but expecting it to be very difficult and a long process. Shannon made it very simple and stress free. What stood out is that she was helping me find a home and not just selling me on a house. Besides the knowledge and help she provided she also outbid 40-something offers to help me purchase my #1 choice. Thanks Shannon for making this exRead MoreRead Less
"All I can say is trust Shannon Smith with the sale of your home. It is not often that someone delivers on every promise but that is what happened with Shannon.

Not only did we sell quickly, but we went under conRead MoreRead 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. Shannon not only knows the MD housing market, she also has practical, real-world knowledge about what to look for in a home itself. She understood our wants and needs and was honest with us throughout the process (“I knRead MoreRead Less

RJ has a wealth of knowledge on the market, and has a team in place that is second to none when it comes to making the largesRead MoreRead Less
