Testimonials

Miguel is a true professional. He helped my wife and I every step on the way by representing us while we bought our first home. Miguel's consistent communication with all parties involved insured that the process was smooth, and when delays inevitably arose Miguel resolved them quickly. Our best interests were always put first.

Miguel educated us on the home buying process so we would have knowledge not just of "seeing homes", but of loans, title, inspection, insurance, etc. We got exactly the home we wanted. Miguel showed us only homes that fit our specifications, and negotiated the deal to maximize all resources afforded to us so we would not have to pay much out of pocket at closing (we actually got most of our deposit back!) and got the best rate possible on our loan (which was far lower than I imagined!).

Thanks for all the hard work, Miguel. When it comes time to move again you will be the first person we call!

Do you want to sell or buy a property? Stop, look no further. Call Miguel Avila. When I decided to sell my condominium and look for a bigger place, I was very fortunate to meet Miguel. He explained every little detail of what to do and expect before selling/ buying.

During this time, Miguel strived to meet every detail I asked for in my search (location, description, price, etc ...). He was always there 24/7 for any question or detail I needed to know. I don't forget the days when Miguel used to work very late for me. He used to ask me "What time do you go to bed? How late can I call you" On many occasions, Miguel actually came at vary late hours in order to describe certain situations or sign some papers with a big smile on his face all the time. Even during the slow-down of the market, with the load of experience he has, Miguel was able to get me the best price I could get for my condominium. He also found me exactly the home I am looking for. During this difficult time, Miguel was on my side all the way to facilitate every step from day one to the closing date and beyond.

It's been a wonderful experience working with Miguel. He is not only a great agent, but he is also a friend you want on you side all the time. I would highly recommend him for any real estate consultation/ transaction.

Thank you Miguel,

My wife and I would like to extend a special thank you for your work in helping us buy our home. I think we were both shocked when we found a place that we wanted to place a bid on, and you said, "Let's wait". That right there was our first (OF MANY) indicators that you were in fact working for US and NOT the sellers; a unique trait in real estate!!! From the search, to the negotiating, to the closing, (even lining up contractors, cleaners, etc) your expertise and assistance (and advice) were valued and used, and due to that, we have our house! We will be sure to recommend you to any and everyone we know who is in search of a home, because you truly did work for US and not THEM!! Thanks again!

My husband and I sought to upgrade the condo we had bought for our parents to a bigger place. While we had worked with a realtor to purchase our house and condo, he seemed more interested in how many clients he could serve in a day than meeting our needs. We were so disappointed that we dreaded going back into the market for fear of having yet another sub-par experience.

Fortunately, one of my coworkers had just recently purchased a townhouse and he could not stop raving about his great realtor, Miguel Avila. Recognizing that we would need help selling our condo since the market had turned, we reluctantly contacted Miguel. Miguel completely changed our perception of realtors.

From the moment we met Miguel, he was working for us. Prior to our first meeting, he proactively investigated the condo community and even took some exterior pictures. We found Miguel to be incredibly knowledgeable about the market and he freely shared valuable information with us. Undaunted by trying to sell our condo in a tough market, Miguel held our hands through getting the property ready and patiently worked with us to calm our nerves when we saw how many condos were staying on the market for months and that sellers were dropping prices by $20K - $30K. However, unlike many realtors in the area, Miguel has experience with slow markets and knows just what it takes. Through his efforts, Miguel successfully put our condo under contract in just 15 days!

On the purchase side, Miguel was just as successful. We found a great place and Miguel negotiated many perks from the seller. He also made sure we had a thorough inspection and personally checked all items to make sure that the seller had made the appropriate repairs.

We are convinced that Miguel saved us thousands of dollars in the whole transaction. But just as important was his professionalism and commitment to help us. He even continued to support us after closing on both properties when the air conditioning for the new condo stopped working soon after we moved my parents in. While Miguel had negotiated the purchase of a home warranty by the seller, the insurance company denied the claim since it was such a new account. Miguel jumped into action and had the denial reversed within just a couple days.

We simply can't say enough good things about Miguel. My husband and I can't wait until someone we know is looking to buy or sell so that we can brag about him. While we hope to stay out of the market for a while, we know that we'll actually look forward to working with Miguel again.

Thank you so much for all of your help and support during our first home-buying process. You made the process a pleasant one! Thanks for never giving up!!

We want to take a moment to let you know what a great job Miguel Avila has done for us selling our condo and helping us buy our next home over the past couple of months.

On selling our home, Miguel's marketing plan for our condo was flawless. At the first open house he held, Miguel sold our home for more than 99.5% of list price and for $12,500 more than the last similar condo that had sold in our building. All told, it took a mere 11 days for Miguel to get a buyer under ratified contract.

Miguel's 20+ years of professional marketing & real estate experience are clearly evident in his marketing, execution and follow-through, and most of all his caring and dedication to his customers. He always gave us 100%, and treated us like family. You have a real asset in Miguel and we would, without reservation or exception, recommend him to anyone who prefers to work with a first-class agent when they desire to sell or buy.

I wanted to send you a note to let you know how incredibly impressed I am with your service. I haven't had to lift a finger in trying to obtain an investment property because you took the initiative to do all the work for me! Thank you for doing the analysis and showing me which properties would be good rentals and why. You made my decision logical and easy. You have far beyond passed my expectations of what a real estate agent should do....based on the others I have seen out there! It was your motivation and hard work that enabled me to obtain the investment property that I wanted. Thank you for going the extra mile and for informing me of each step along the way. Your timeliness and professional attitude are unparalled and I would highly recommend your services to anyone else out there in need of buying or selling their home or investment property.

I look forward to working with you in the future.

You have truly lived up to your signature 'At Your Service' and I thank you for that.

Sincerely,

Megan and I wanted to thank you for all of your support while we searched for the perfect home for our new family in Falls Church. Your advice on what to look for when one considers purchasing an older home was invaluable! We never thought that there was so much to consider and are thankful that you were there to guide us through the process! More than anything, your patience with all of our questions and caring attitude made all the difference in the world. You have heart and it sincerely shows!

The next time we need to buy or sell, we know where to go. We have told all of our friends and family to contact you in the near future if they need professional realtor services. Thank you!

Warmest regards,
Sebastian, Megan, Alexander, and Nicholas Pawlowski
