Customized Buying Strategy

Every buyer - client starts with a consultation where we find and agree on the best for you and your family approach to find and buy a property.

Transparency and Communication

To me, fifty percent of a successful agent-buyer relationship comes from setting expectations from the start, following through with everything promised, and adjust the strategy if it’s not working.

Proactive Approach

A winning strategy for me is to proactively identify and anticipate potential issues throughout the transaction and mitigate them.

Quality Vendor Network

Qualified vendors and local professionals are needed throughout the process, be it for inspecting the property before the buyer closes or cleaning gutters after the purchase.

Success Buyers Stories

Find out why our clients love to work with us.

"When we started to look for a home in Georgetown, DC, we did not know any real estate agent in the area and were connected to Irina by chance. It is hard to believe but the stars were aligned perfectly for us: Irina is not only an experienced and extremely knowledgeable realtor but also goes the extra mile, is efficient, works long hours and is a pleasure to work with. Irina arranged for us to see our dream home and put us on a successful path..."

Gerlinde Whetzell

"Irina was fantastic to work with on a recent closing that I had the pleasure of working with her on. She was excellent at communicating all pertinent details to her client and to me as the title company representative, and was extremely nice and pleasant to work with. She was definitely on top of her game, which is so important and appreciated... "

Nicole Crugnale

"I'm very happy to recommend Irina. She helped and guided me through every step of the process, and I needed that given that I was moving from a house I had occupied for 40 years! She is clear-headed and manages to combine empathy with real business sense. She is a lovely, engaged realtor, and I would certainly work with her again."

Connie Elsberg

"Irina was an amazing agent. After a poor experience with our first agent, we were lucky to have Irina recommended to us. She not only guided us through the process of buying as new home as first time buyers, she also helped us though a lot of unique situations in the closing process. Irina was always positive and professional despite our many set backs and helped us get thorough every single one of them. I highly recommend Irina."

SH M

"We feel so lucky to have met and found Irina as our realtor! We were looking for someone who was very organized, a clear communicator, and who really cared about supporting us through the entire process and answer all of our questions. We got more than we expected with Irina 🙂 We loved that she established expectations and roles+responsibilities with us early on..."

Audrey Tsaima.

"We are the first home buyers. Irina conducted with us not only a search, but along the way explained how the mortgage system works and what points such newcomers like us should pay attention to. Thanks to Irina's sensitive attitude towards us, the process went smoothly for us and we are now the owners of a beautiful townhouse! 😃👍🏼 Irina, good deals and grateful clients! Cheers!"

Artyom Kokhan

"Irina is the *perfect* real estate agent. She worked with myself and a parent as we worked on buying a condo together with diligence, grace and discretion. She managed the entire process with honesty and transparency, and she was incredibly responsive to our texts/calls with questions, which she answered SO helpfully. I cannot recommend Irina enough. I'd give her 10 stars if I could!”

Serena Saunders

"Irina has been wonderful to work with, very pleasant personality, diligent, kept us on track with timelines. She responds to text and email msg very quickly. I highly recommend her!"
