"Mike and Melodie were superb. They were diligent, friendly, tactful, and responsive. We dealt with two other realtors before we found them and were disappointed with their service. We were new to the Baltimore market and required assistance. We got that and more from Mike and Melodie and purchased a beautiful home. We would recommend them anytime to anyone."

"Melodie and her team were absolutely fantastic in both finding an amazing home for my family AND with selling our old one.
She was incredibly helpful, flexible and professional in searching for a home that made sense for us both in terms of space but finding us a "deal" or at least the best price we could get in the recent market.
Our old home was sold to non-investors and at full asking!

"There are 3 things I admire most in Dawn Fender: integrity, experience, and honesty. She researched the local market before our first interview and gave us the number she felt would put us in a good position to sell our house. She was absolutely right. We had an amazing turn out that only took 3 days on the market before we chose a buyer from a large list of candidates. We had already moved to ano… Read Morether state and Dawn handled everything in our absence. I highly recommend Dawn Fender.

"My wife and I recently worked with Dawn Fender to purchase our first home in the heart of Baltimore. We could not be happier with our experience and would gladly recommend Dawn’s services to anyone looking for a realtor in the city (and beyond). Dawn demonstrated a high degree of expertise and professionalism resulting in a smooth, no-stress home buying experience. This included (but was not limit… Read Moreed to) extreme attention to detail, high responsiveness, and considerable connections to a variety of housing/real estate professionals. Herself a long-time resident of the Baltimore area, we were consistently impressed with Dawn’s deep knowledge of the city and its homes - an asset she leveraged to anticipate challenges and keep everything running smoothly.
However, what truly elevated our experience with Dawn was the care and personal touch that she brought to every step of the home-buying process. Dawn made herself available to us prior to any contracting and has remained a trusted resource after closing. From the start Dawn made an effort to get to know us and keep our goals/priorities for a home at the forefront of each decision. If you are in the market for an excellent realtor and a pleasant experience purchasing a home, you can’t do better than Dawn Fender." Read Less

"We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Dawn--she was an absolute dream to work with!

Her knowledge of the Baltimore market is unmatched.

She never pressured us, she never rushed us-- just guided us with patience and genuine care. When it came time to put in an offer, she worked her magic to make sure we were competitive, protected, and fully informed every step of the way. She communicated constantly, and went above and beyond to make sure no detail was overlooked-- she showed up for us EVERY step of the way.
We felt like we had someone who genuinely wanted us to find a home that we loved, not just a quick sale. Thanks to Dawn, we're settling into a home that feels PERFECT for us and our pups, and we couldn't be more grateful. If you're buying a home in Baltimore, do yourself a favor and work with Dawn.

It was so much easier to then find our next home with our previous home prepped and sold in days it seemed. Kristian found us our dream home, got us the best possible price and before we knew it we were closing and moving into the home of our dreams. Start to finish Kristian took the stress out of our sale and new purchase. I would never think of going into any real-estate dealing without Kristian, he is absolutely the best in the business.

Alex P
"We loved how knowledgeable Maria was of the city, right down to the neighborhood that we wanted to live in. She was respectful, ethical, and we never felt pressured to buy something we didn't want or love! She was prompt to respond to our questions, and was great when it came to negotiating for everything that we wanted!"
Frances & Paul
"Maria was a true asset when I decided to sell my condo. She made great suggestions on things to attract buyers. It wasn't a particularly ideal time for selling, and I was out of town, so it was super important for me to have someone that I could trust and put in charge of things. Maria was exactly that person!"

"I usually don’t leave reviews, but I can't recommend David Wheaton highly enough. He was unfailingly knowledgeable, good humored and available for any questions we had.

Nancy S. - David’s expertise and guidance was invaluable in our search for a home during the recent volatile real estate market. His knowledge of the market, responsiveness, hard work and extensive research helped us navigate, and avoid moves we would have surely regretted. Over the course of our search, David became a trusted friend and advocate with his seemingly unlimited amount of patience, (we admittedly required a lot) and cool, calm demeanor. We recommend him highly. And yes...we like David very much." Read Less
