What
BUYERS are saying
about Bonnie...
| "From start
to finish, your experience and guidance
were absolutely invaluable. You helped
us negotiate a competitive offer and
guided us through every stage, from
understanding the various home options
and neighborhoods to obtaining a mortgage
and property insurance. And you did
this all with a kind, relaxed approach,
great professionalism, and endless patience." |
|
Elizabeth Lindenberger and Ted Huey
|
| "We have no
doubt that a wide range of home buyers,
from first time buyers to those purchasing
homes for the second and third time,
will find your expertise and pleasant
personality an asset during their search.
As busy physicians, we particularly
appreciated how well you optimized our
time, permitting us to find the house
we wanted within just a few days. We
would recommend you very highly, without
reservations, to anyone searching for
a new home." |

| "Moving from New York City, we did not know what we were looking for, or where. You helped us figure out what we need now and in the future, and which neighborhoods and types of houses that translated into. Your careful narrowing down of the many listings out there saved us a lot of guesswork and legwork so that we could come down for efficient house searches. All along, you were patient, informative, open-minded and nonjudgmental. In the end, we decided on exactly what you suggested in the first place." |

| “Buying a house can
be stressful, particularly when the
market is as intense as it has been
recently. Working with an agent like
Bonnie, however, can really make all
the difference. Bonnie quickly earned
our confidence with her sound advice
and judgment, and she was always ready
and willing to answer all our questions-
no matter how silly! Most importantly,
though, we felt like Bonnie was always
in our corner and was just as concerned
with us finding our ideal home as if
she were looking for herself. She never
pawned us off on any assistant and was
always willing to go the extra mile
– whether it meant staying for the entire
three hour home inspection, negotiating
an agreement with the seller to allow
us to move in a few items prior to closing,
or helping us move up the settlement
date when we sold our condo faster than
we had anticipated.” |

Raj and Ariel De
|
| “Buying a house with
you leading us through the trials and
tribulations was a pleasure. You took
the time to get to know us and to understand
not only our current home requirements,
but our future dreams for our home as
well. Your familiarity and knowledge
of the DC metro neighborhoods became
a huge asset. Not only did you help
my wife and I figure our where we wanted
to reside, but also you filtered out
listings that just did not make sense
for us. In doing so, that allowed us
to look at only the best suited properties
for us and not have have to sift through
listing after listing. Because of your
skills and knowledge of negotiation
we were able to get the best deal possible.
You negotiated a lower price; a close
date we really wanted and even convinced
the sellers to fix what was I my opinion
an insurmountable laundry list of deficits
from the home inspection report.” |

What
SELLERS are
saying about Bonnie...
| “I wanted to thank you for making the sale of my father's house so effortless. Your creative suggestions of different ways we could go were inspired. Beyond that, your checking on the house during the months between contract and closing, forwarding to me important mail, making sure the heat was on-all of those efforts were really important and meaningful for those of us who were selling the house from another state. As a realtor myself, I think I'm a pretty good judge of other realtors. The end result in the sale of my dad's house further proves that I know a great realtor when I meet one.” |

Susan Tash, Realtor
|
| “You may recall
that we were a little late putting our
house on the market. Never-the-less,
you through your brochures and your
network – created a sense of excitement
about the property. The pictures in
the brochure captured the very best
aspects of each of the rooms as well
as the beauty of the flowering azaleas
in the yard. You guided us through the
intricacies of establishing a listing
price so as to attract potential buyers.
And you were right on target. The potential
buyers came to the open house, and as
you expected, we had multiple bids—all
above the listing price.” |

Faith and Chip Breen

| "You came into our lives when we needed you, just before my husband of 49 years unexpectedly went into a nursing home. We has already sold our car and now we had to sell our house. With you we did it intelligently, efficiently, with success and fun. You had ideas and solutions at every turn. All the right people when we needed them. Lawyer, junk haulers, house cleaners, transition assistance, designer, financial advisor, mid-20th century furnishing specialist, and handyman.” |

Terry and Hamilton Morton
|
| “From
the outset of our talks about the listing
agreement until the successful closing
yesterday, we were greatly impressed
by your low-key, effective, and sensitive
assistance in selling the home which
we owned for almost 40 years. As you
can imagine, it was a difficult emotional
time for us, which required the utmost
of tact and good judgment on your part.
Both Frances and I feel that we could
not have been in better hands for this
delicate undertaking.” |

| “I was
so pleased that I chose Bonnie Lewin
to sell my house. Of all the realtors
I interviewed, she was the nicest and
clearest, gave the best initial advice
and was prompt in all her follow-up.
Bonnie worked with me from start to
finish -- I particularly appreciated
the specific advice she gave me on how
to best show my house. Her advice about
what to fix up, what to paint, and how
to de-clutter the house so that it would
be the most attractive to potential
buyers was right-on. She was clear and
direct -- she and her office helped
me where necessary, guided me throughout
the process and held my hand when I
needed it. I felt I had a real professional
partner in my corner. As a result of
her advice – including very good advice
on a reasonable listing price, my house
sold for 10% over the asking price in
a market that was slowing down. And
it sold in one weekend. Things could
not have gone more smoothly. Thank you
Bonnie -- I will use you again the next
time I sell or buy a house.” |
