 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What can I say but “wow!” When Nikki says she’s the best Reston agent, she really is and has every right to say so (and not just for Reston)! Nikki and her team sold our house in Vienna, and she made such a stressful process easy, seamless, and efficient. Need help staging? Done. Need help with landscaping? Done. Need repairs done to sell? Done. She was our advocate and the gatekeeper. She always responded and shared her time and knowledge without hesitation. We could not have sold our house as quickly and for the price we got during this down market without her. Thank you Nikki!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nikki was TERRIFIC! From start to finish. We needed a rush sale, and she jumped right on it with her team. She told us exactly what to expect. She arranged staging, drone photography and regular photography.
Her team got everything done to list our house in 10 days!
She's really a great representative and realtor. She knows the Reston market and has a great team. They used SHEETS to set up a timeline and goals for each step in the process. They were on top of it all.
I can't say enough about her and I HIGHLY recommend her if you are looking to sell or buy in Reston.

 Verified Nikki was terrific! She was able to have our house on the market within 10 days of signing the Listing. Her team did staging, drone photography, and followed up with Reston Association violations so we cleared all those in time for closing! Very impressed and grateful we hired her to list our home. We got more than the listing price in part due to her action and recommendations.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.  It sold quickly with multiple offers over listing price. I would definitely recommend her.

 Verified 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!
