Nikki was an excellent choice when it came time to sell my late father's condo. She and her staff were efficient, caring and knowledgeable about how best to market the property.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Nikki Lagouros, who represented the seller on a home my buyers purchased in Reston, VA. Nikki was an absolute professional from start to finish. She was experienced, responsive, easy to communicate with, and helped keep the transaction moving smoothly all the way to closing. You can tell Nikki knows the Reston market extremely well and takes great care of her clients. As a lender, I always appreciate working with experienced agents who communicate well and work together to get everyone to the finish line. Nikki Lagouros was a pleasure to work with, and I hope we get the opportunity to work together again!

Daniel did a tremendous job helping us buy our first home in Alexandria, VA. I could not imagine using a different realtor. Daniel was professional, personable, responsive, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful throughout this process. He made buying a home smooth and stress-free.

Daniel was great to work with. He recently helped my husband and me purchase our first home. The process was intimidating, but we are so glad we met Daniel because he guided us every step of the way. He was extremely communicative, answered all of our questions, and always offered thoughtful, professional advice. Thanks to his guidance, we were able to secure our home in a very competitive market. Not only was he instrumental in helping us find our home, but he has continued to be a valuable resource by connecting us with trusted contractors and vendors to help us maintain and improve it. We couldn’t recommend Daniel more highly to anyone looking to buy a home!

Dorian did an amazing job assisting us with the purchase of our condo. She was able to accommodate our many requests to see multiple properties on short notice (over snow-filled parking lots) and always with a smile. She was also extremely patient with us as we navigated the inspection and buying process. She was quick to answer our questions and made sure we felt at ease and supported throughout the entire process and beyond.

Couldn’t recommend Dorian enough. We were navigating a very tough Reston market and were intimated by the process, but Dorian was very patient in educating us and addressing our concerns, and ultimately working very hard to find us exactly the house we were looking for. Dorian gets the job done, is very friendly, and is the most connected and well respected agent in the Reston market. If you’re looking to buy or sell in Reston, you’d be working against yourself not having Dorian and Nikki on your side.

Daniel was amazing and super responsive. Despite being overseas while searching for houses he was always extremely responsive to any request or inquiry. He worked diligently and was very communicative and honest about the houses he toured virtually for us. Would 10 out of 10 recommend!! He made our buying experience stress free and we love the house we are in. He will definitely be our go-to realtor for anything we need in the future!

Marketing reach · built around your buyer

Marketing that finds your buyer

Step 1 · Who we market to: custom buyer persona & geofenced ads
Example persona
The move-up buyer

Based on recent buyer activity for similar homes. Every ad is written for this person, and served where they actually live, work and spend time.

What they want in a home

Buyers moving up for more space, a home office and a shorter commute, who value move-in-ready condition and outdoor space.

Relocating from

Townhomes and condos in Reston, Herndon and Arlington, plus out-of-area moves from DC and Maryland.

Where they work

Tech and government-contracting employers along the Dulles Toll Road and Route 28 corridors, and in Tysons.

Where they spend time

Reston Town Center and One Loudoun for dining and shopping; trails, parks and youth sports on weekends.

Where they look

Instagram and Facebook in the evening, YouTube and streaming TV on weekends, Zillow saved searches daily.

What moves them

Move-in-ready finishes, natural light, a home office, and a clear picture of the layout before they tour.

Geofencing ads

I draw virtual boundaries around the places this buyer goes: employer campuses, commute corridors, shopping and dining hubs, and recreation spots. Phones inside those zones see your home's ads on social media, streaming apps and the web, then get retargeted after they leave.

Ad angle written for them: "Space for everyone, minutes from everything. Tour this weekend."

Straight answers

Questions sellers ask me

What does it cost to sell with you?

Brokerage compensation is negotiable and set in your written listing agreement, and I walk you through it, and every other selling cost, before you sign. Virginia's statutory seller transfer charges add up to about 0.30% of the price in Northern Virginia. If you are also buying with me, your buy-and-sell package is tailored to your situation.

Do I have to pay for staging?

Custom, physical designer staging is part of the plan, with half the cost covered by me.

How long until my home is on the market?

A typical plan runs about two weeks from our strategy meeting to launch day: inspection, prep, staging, photo and video, Coming Soon and Zillow Preview. Use the launch calendar above to see real dates.

Do I need to make repairs first?

Only the ones that pay. My room-by-room prep plan separates what buyers reward from what is not worth the money, and the pre-listing inspection tells us early. For distressed situations, I can also make a written cash offer within 24 hours of one walkthrough and close in as little as 7 days.

Who will I actually work with?

Me. I am the only listing agent on my team and I personally handle every listing, from pricing to negotiation. Laura Dotis, my Operations Manager, keeps paperwork and deadlines on track, and in Reston my dedicated Reston Association Representative helps resolve RA violations on resale disclosure documents.

How fast will you get back to me?

I typically reply in about 3 minutes. Every buyer inquiry about your home comes straight to me as well, so you get real feedback fast.

What if I need to sell and buy at the same time?

We line up both moves together. My buyer's agents and operations manager support your purchase while I handle your listing, and your package is tailored to your situation.
