"Nataliya was awesome during the entire process of getting our first house! She listened thoughtfully and was patient with all of our questions. More importantly, she answered the questions we were not smart enough to ask.
We were moving from out of state and before we even got here, she created a list of potential homes and then drove to them to give us a video tour of not only the house but the … Read Moresurrounding neighborhood.
That made the process so much easier and efficient when we were actually able to physically tour homes. She guided us through the process of putting in an offer, and thanks to her guidance and expertise, it was accepted in less than a day.
The Veterans Administration (VA) needed a plethora of information from the HOA before they would approve the loan. Nataliya was able to track all that down and stay a step ahead of the VA. This facilitated a quick closing so we were in the house before I started my new job.
Nataliya didn't stop there though. We knew we wanted to fix up a few things in the house before our furniture arrived. She had a contractor in the house literally the day we closed preparing to clear items off the home inspection list (the cost of which was covered by concessions she negotiated with the seller), new carpets went in the next day, and she recommended a cleaning service so everything was spotless when our moving truck pulled up.
Nataliya is fantastic and I highly recommend her to anyone. We could not have found the right house, closed on it, and moved as quickly and seamlessly as we did without her." Read Less

I first contacted her through a Google search in 2018 while single and looking to buy my first property. Nataliya was amazing and was so dependable. No matter what time I called her with questions, she was always available, as if I were her only client. I knew from that point that she would always be the… Read More one to reach out to. Fast forward, it is now 2024. I got married; told my husband about her, and she not only assisted me with finding excellent tenants to rent the townhome and the eventual sale, but helped us purchase our first beautiful home together in Hughesville. She also assisted my nephew with the purchase of a new townhome and the rental of his previous townhome in another city. After enjoying our Hughesville home for 2 years, my husband had a great idea💡...lol! He wanted more land, and who did I call? Nataliya! She held an open house to sell the Hughesville home and got 3 solid offers in one day! We are now in our beautiful forever home that again, she helped us purchase. Lastly, Nataliya helped my husband with selling another property he had in Upper Marlboro! She is also very sweet and a joy to work with! I say all of this to say that we truly have a solid history in working with Nataliya, always cheerful, generous with her attention and time, and if we ever need her again, we have her on speed dial!"

We listed our home just before the COVID-19 pandemic and no one knew what to expect. Michelle made sure to advertise the home and held some showings with all the precautions in place. She worked around our schedules and gave us all the space we wanted and time we needed when things got scary and locked down. Still she had no trouble at all finding buyers. Michelle continued to assist with the inspection scheduling and any additional paperwork we needed. In the end I had to sign the documents from another state and she helped me navigate that too.
