About Us:
"Never lose focus of the needs of your clients" - Easier said than done..right? But if you are truly passionate about your career, this should come rather naturally. I find that every transaction brings me closer to being a better Realtor, a better Co-ordinator and a better Communicator.
I am your average South Indian but born and raised in Bahrain. My birth country is a smidge of an island in the middle of the Persian Gulf flanked by Saudi Arabia to the west and United Arab Emirates (U.A.E) to the South. Rumor has it that the biblical Garden of Eden was in Bahrain. I have lived in Northern Virginia for the past 19 years and can not imagine home being elsewhere. As an avid world traveller, I love meeting people of all culture. People intrigue me - Through out my travels, I seem to come to the same conclusion - in some respect or another, we all have a common thread, which perhaps explains my ease in working with people from varied cultures.
My professional background stems from my days in the Hotel Industry as a Sales Excutive in Bahrain to working in the IT industry in the United States. My interest in Real Estate began with a sale and the purchase of my 2nd home. My Realtor was rather impressed with the way I staged my house and the "customer service" I was providing for potential buyers coming through my house. She (the Realtor) impressed upon me to consider changing career. I have to say, without a doubt, one of the best decisions I have made to date.
I have been a licensed Realtor specializing in residential sales in Northern Virginia since 2002. I am member of the National Association of Realtors and the Northern Virginia Association of Realtors. A Virginian since 1988, my knowledge of the area translates to the ability to provide you the best advice possible - from where to work or play, shop or dine, and the true nature of each neighborhood in Northern Virginia.
My approach to my profession is dictated by passion and a sense of pride - one of my core values. Irrespective of whether you are buying or selling a home, I strive to aggressively and proactively attain the best deal possible.
As a consummate professional, respect and attention to detail is key. My proven track record will help assure that you get the best value out of each transaction. I look forward with great pleasure to be working with you and helping you achieve your goal in the housing sector

Testimonials
Shirley's thorough preparation and considerable continued help-including but not limited to her expertise in contacting excellent roofers, painters, and repair folks-enabled us to get my house on the market earlier than anyone else had advised me to do, and to get it on the market in the best possible shape-neighbors who visited the open house she held for my home told me it showed extremely well. All this resulted in a sale within nine days on the market, and at the asking price-something else Shirley thought out with considerable care and talked over with me prior to our agreeing on it. It will come as no surprise at this point for me to say that Shirley's work, over a period of months, was extraordinary, and exemplary. I cannot praise her highly enough. ~ Mr. Sitterson
Shirley made our cause hers when we needed to sell our home quickly in order to put a contract on our "dream home." In eight days she helped us get our house on the market and looking like a model home-not easy with two children under four, and in eight days she had competing offers--not at all common in this summer's market. We were able to get the new house before it sold and were thrilled. I very much admired Shirley's high standards of ethics. She was extremely diplomatic and adept in her dealings with prospective buyers and other Realtors, and a perfectionist when it came to drafting official transactions. Shirley kept us informed every step of the way, and was always candid and up front.I would highly recommend Shirley to friends and family looking to buy or sell. They would be well served to have Shirley on their side. ~ Mr and Mrs. Alegre
We are extremely happy and pleased that we choose Shirley Mattam-Male to be our Realtor. She took us by the hand and guided us through the sale of our home with much dignity and professionalism. Shirley disclosed all the details, big and small, that we needed to know to prepare and sell our home. Her guidance and knowledge was instrumental in the sale of our home. She effectively utilized experts including a stager and design artist to prepare floor plans of the house for a beautiful brochure of the house. This and her other measures were undoubtedly productive in a quick sale of an upscale house, culiminating in multiple offers. Her personal interest was evident in the time, resources, comparative research, and in her availability to us. We highly recommend Shirley. ~ Mr. and Mrs. Jones
