More Client Love

Jamie Petrik and Melissa Govoruhk from Debbie Dogrul Associates did an amazing job in selling our house. From our first contact, they were nothing but supportive and helpful. I am always hesitant about "salespeople" but there was no pressure at all. They provided the information about the services they could provide and let us know they were available when we were ready. We listed as the market was changing and they did everything possible to assist us in getting the house ready for sale they got it under contract and negotiated once we were overseas. They helped us through the closing and were great at answering our questions and trying to alleviate as much anxiety as possible. They understood that it was a difficult move and that we had many moving pieces to work around. I would highly recommend Jamie, Melissa, and their team to anyone!

Had an amazing experience! As first-time homebuyers and being pregnant with our first child, Eric Carrington made the home buying experience as easy as it could have been. He took the time to show us houses and townhouses that would work for us with our commutes and a newborn. He guided us through the process and answered all the questions we didn’t know we should ask all while making us laugh! Once our family grows we will definitely be going back to him for our next home!

I genuinely cannot recommend Jordan Li enough! We got matched with Jordan through Zillow and are so grateful that we did. He has gone above and beyond every step of the way, touring every home with us (some with very last-minute notice), thoroughly explaining the buying process (at least a couple of times), and addressing all of our questions/concerns. He also found the perfect home, and, after many hours on the phone with the seller’s agent, secured the house for us when we were actually outbid. I don’t know how he pulled it off, but we are so thankful for his dedication to getting us the best deal on a home we love. As a second-time home buyer, I feel so much more supported and informed this time around - I only wish he’d been my agent from the start but am beyond glad we found him when we did!! Besides being a helpful, hard-working, and knowledgeable agent, he’s also just a great guy who has become a lifelong friend of ours. Jordan, we can’t thank you enough!

Jamie Petrik and Melissa Govorukh did an amazing job with our townhouse - they had a great sense of what we could do to upgrade the house on our budget, found us professional and affordable contractors to do the work, were always available to answer our questions, and sold our home in just two days for over the list price. moving is so stressful but they made everything run incredibly smoothly for us. Could not recommend them more.

Monica Christensen and the DDA team were simply fabulous. Friendly, professional, and organized from end to end. Highly recommended!

I chose to work with Kathleen Holzhauer when I decided to sell my house in early 2022. It was such a pleasure working with her. She sold my home for $55,000 over the asking price, and I had 18 offers in 3 days. She’s had a great deal of experience in real estate and is savvy about the market trends. She provided very helpful advice, was always readily available when I had questions and was very professional. She is the best real estate agent I’ve ever dealt with.

Much love and many thanks to Nathan Arnold for getting our house sold so quickly. Nathan met with us about a year ago and left a lasting impression on us. At our first meeting, he made suggestions for things we could do to start getting our house ready for the market. Because of his straightforward approach when presenting his ideas about what improvements would appeal to home buyers, we knew we would work with him to sell our house when the time came. That time came quicker than we anticipated. The second time we met, we actually signed our contract and he was able to put us in touch with a contractor to get some minor home improvements done. Nathan is such a professional. There was never a time that we could not get in touch with him. The marketing exposure our house received was unbelievable. The photos and 3D tour of our house made us say “who’s house is that? I want to live there!” Our home was posted on a Thursday and we had multiple offers that Saturday well over the asking price. NATHAN YOU ROCK! Much love also to Madison Simmons. She did an excellent job preparing us for settlement after we accepted an offer on our house. Many thanks to Team Dogrul for helping us start the next chapter in our life. Thirty years in our house and many wonderful memories, but time for new memories!

My husband and I worked with Melissa Carrier and could not be happier with our experience. She is knowledgeable of the area and is a go-getter. She made us feel like we were her only client and went above and beyond at every step in the home buying process.

Buying a home in such a competitive market is intimidating, to say the least, and being a first-time home buyer in such a market can easily scare some away from purchasing at all. We were immediately at ease with how patient and thorough Thanasi was while explaining the process, different contingencies, and how to structure our offer to be fair (to our wallets) but strong enough to seal the deal. He even educated and counseled us on the financing portion of the transaction and how to make our offer more enticing which is ultimately one of the main factors that influenced the sellers to accept our offer. We were ecstatic to get our house at the price we did during this crazy market, only Thanasi's clients can say that right now! Thanasi is also extremely honest and listens to your wants, needs, and specific situations. He is a straight shooter and will not sugarcoat things just to make a sale -- it is extremely obvious that he sincerely cares about his clients getting what they want for the lowest price possible. You don't have to offer a "crazy" price if you have a realtor like Thanasi! Our home also appraised for $20,000 over the sales price which was an added bonus to having immediate equity. All in all, if you're looking to purchase a home in the DMV area, Thanasi is your guy!

My wonderful experience with DDA began with the director of first impressions, Carolyn, who took down all of my information and referred me to my agent, Nicole. From the beginning, Nicole heard my needs and had a plan on how we would successfully sell my condo. Before I could put my cell phone down, she had already emailed me comps in my area and made excellent suggestions. My property went on the market on a Thursday night and by Sunday morning I had a contract. Four weeks to the day we closed. The DDA team is exactly that "a team". The photos taken by Quang were beautiful. The contractor who came to my house to do minor painting etc did a beautiful job. I cannot say more than that, I highly recommend DDA and plan to use them in the future.

I listed my home for sale by owner (FSBO). Ashley represented the buyers who bought my home. I had little experience in selling a home. Ashley was great in helping me to get her the things she needed for her buyers even though she didn't have to. The whole process went without any problems and Ashley was wonderful the entire time. I highly recommend Ashley Finco from Debbie Dogrul Associates to handle any of your real estate needs!

I cannot say enough about Kathleen Holzhauer and the team at Debbie Dogrul! From my first contact, Kathleen was supportive and very knowledgeable. A complicated sale involving an ill-conceived trust, a reverse mortgage, my living 3000 miles away, and lots of red tapes, Kathleen was there every step of the way providing support and solid advice. She even mailed me 2 boxes of items that I wanted to keep! She helped set a fair price, for an as-is home, and we quickly sold within 1 week! Saying that everyone involved at the Debbie Dogrul went above and beyond my expectations would be a huge understatement! If I ever need a realtor in the Northern Virginia/DC area again, I know just who to call!
