      After years of living in other people's homes, we decided to buy our first home in the DC area, moving from 5,000 miles away. We needed someone reliable, knowledgeable, and responsive, and Ron came highly recommended by our local DMV military network. Our first video call with Ron and his team, including his wife Samantha, who handles finances, was great. They guided us through the homebuying process, always available via text, Facetime, or phone. Ron and Sam provided detailed videos and insights on potential homes, easing our concerns about buying remotely. Despite the competitive DC market, Ron balanced his advice with our comfort level and guided us through multiple offers until we secured a home. Samantha managed the loan process smoothly. Even after closing, Ron continued to assist us, addressing any issues and coordinating with contractors. Ron and his team were professional, honest, and supportive throughout, and we highly recommend them for anyone looking to buy or sell in the

      Sam was the best realtor agent I have ever worked with and I have bought and sold several homes. She was so positive and really kept my stress level down. Sam gave 150% and her communication was great. Thank you Sam

      Embarking on our first home-buying experience, we entrusted Ron and his remarkable team after our friends found him on Facebook and shared his information with us. Despite the daunting prospect of a sight-unseen purchase, their unparalleled expertise and professionalism guided us seamlessly. Ron and his spouse embarked on an extraordinary six-month educational journey, meticulously guiding us through insightful Zoom classes, ensuring our readiness. Their multifaceted approach, with Ron's wife as a seasoned loan officer, fostered an environment of unrivaled collaboration and transparency under one roof. Their exceptional communication skills shone through, with swift responses and unwavering dedication to clarifying every aspect of the process. While every transaction presents obstacles, Ron's team remained steadfast, proactively addressing hurdles and adapting with grace. We are forever grateful for their unwavering commitment, which has made our dream of homeownership come true.

      This was truly the best real estate experience ever! I decided to go through Homes For Heroes so I could get some money back after closing. They connected me with Ron, a military veteran, who was impressive to work with right from the start. He's personable, knowledgeable and really, really puts his heart and soul into this business. He makes the whole process fun. He spent a lot of time going through my home making notes of all of the great sales points, recommendations on a few things to take care of, and explaining the process to me. I was really impressed with the marketing. He provided gorgeous 4 color brochures to distribute and have available to visitors. He created silly videos for social media, held impressive open houses with "home baked" cookies, wine, food, a beautiful give-away gift basket and much more. He advised me well re: offers I received and I did get my asking price, even though there were similar units near me selling for cheaper.

      Ron recently helped my husband and I purchase a home in a very competitive Northern Virginia market. The fact that we were able to purchase what we expect to be our "forever" home in our desired location, using a VA loan in such a hot market, speaks to Ron's professionalism and skill. What stands out to me most about Ron, though, is that he was truly a pleasure to work with. After our first meeting with Ron, I was certain I wanted to work with him because it felt like I was meeting with a friend. The first impression was accurate, and working with Ron absolutely made the homebuying process (which certainly had its ups and downs!) as enjoyable as possible. He treated us like old friends or even family from start to finish, not just clients, and it truly made a difference in our experience. We would absolutely work with Ron again and recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in the DC area!

      Sam Haberlach went above and beyond to find us our dream home. With specific requirements and a tough market, it was not an easy task to find us the right home at the right price. We ended up winning a home that had 36 total offers-- a feat that would not have been accomplished without Sam's help! We've already referred her to friends and could not have been happier with our home buying experience.
