Testimonials




I have to say that in my 20 plus years in this business, this was the best transaction!  From the moment we connected with Allie, we found her to be exceptionally professional, personable, diligent, detail oriented and prompt to respond.  She even took a call from me to answer questions in the middle of her birthday celebration!  We found Allie to be an excellent representative for her seller as well, a tough negotiator yet masterful in communication and care.  She was very helpful and diligent in getting information for us from her seller and following up on every detail.  She was on top of everything from start to finish even on settlement day, she hand-delivered the parking passes and mailbox key to the property for the new buyer. Our compliments and sincere appreciation to you Allie!  You set a higher bar for all of us in this business and certainly make our jobs better!  We hope to have the opportunity to work with you again soon!  Metro Group Buyer Agents




I was considering three separate agents and could not be happier with my choice! Allie was with me every step of the way and communicated effectively, professionally and promptly. She had great suggestions on how to best prep my property for the sale, without going over board and spending more than was necessary. (I even used one of her subcontractors.) The staging Allie provided was excellent and surely helped the property show well. We discussed the strategies to consider if and when an offer would be presented. I was delighted to find out that an offer was made (just over asking price!) after less than 24 hours of being “live”. Allie continued to correspond with me throughout the transition period of “under contract” and “sold” and I truly could not say enough positive things about her and her professionalism. I recommend Allie without reservation. J. Beckwith, Seller - Annandale


 

I live in Germany but wanted to sell my condo in Virginia. Allie Chamberlain worked quickly and professionally to get my condominium in top condition by using her relationship with top notch contractors and specialists in my absence. I’ve never seen my place look better from the photos of the open house. From the day it went on the market to closing was a little less than 30 days. Incredible. I was able to close on my place virtually from Europe with the title company she works with. Just a great experience. Highly recommend.  J. Dequenne - Seller - Annandale

 

Allie was recommended by a former colleague and we couldn't have been happier! Allie was always so responsive and efficient with her communications. She even responded to us the day of her wedding! She was very knowledgeable about the Vienna area and we truly believe that her knowledge and guidance made all the difference in getting our offer accepted. Since closing, she has continued to stay in touch, helping with the last few details. We would strongly recommend Allie to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, encouraging realtor!" T & H Young, Buyers - Vienna

As a professional Home Stager I have had the opportunity to work with Allie for several years. I have seen firsthand the hard work and dedication she gives each of her clients. She absolutely goes above and beyond for each client so much so that when I needed to sell my mom’s house, I hired her. I work with several excellent agents, but I knew her dedication along with her knowledge and trustworthy experience would give me the results and peace of mind we were looking for.  Allie is extremely competent when it comes to real estate transactions and knowing what will get you top dollar for your home.  If you follow her advice, you will get successful results! D. Cruger - Stager & Designer


Allie Chamberlain was a pleasure to work with from the beginning to end. She has the knowledge, expertise, and customer service that made selling our home a painless experience. We received sound advice throughout the process with clear direction and our home sold immediately. We always felt our best interests were top priority. Allie is extremely knowledgeable regarding the housing market in Vienna, VA area. We couldn't have been more impressed with Allie and would recommend her highly. We’ve used several realtors in the past, and Allie is by far the best. J. Jordan, Seller - Vienna

Allie, it was a real pleasure dealing with you, and I know I speak for Lisa as well.  We see a lot of Realtors in our role with the HOA and so many of them are unprofessional and demanding.  We wish they were all like you! Senna, HOA Board Member - Springfield


Allie was great. Being a bit apprehensive about buying a house, she walked me thru all the steps needed. Her knowledge of the area is unsurpassed. She was honest with her opinions about the markets and always available when needed. She goes above and beyond the call of duty!  T. Shelton, Buyer - Vienna


Allie is organized, thorough, honest and effective, and did I mention that she is kind, accessible, responsive and super nice to work with? All of the above. She keeps her eye on the end goal despite all the unanticipated ups and downs that occur through the process of listing and selling your house. She is highly knowledgeable about the market and I strongly recommend her as a seller's agent. We listed the house we had lived in for nearly 20 years with Allie and started the process 6 months before we wanted to have our home listed for sale. She discussed our priorities and set realistic goals and schedules. Allie was meticulous to provide thorough paperwork and explain the process from beginning to end, to make sure that we understood everything that was going on. We turned to her for advice but made our own final decisions, relying on her to answer questions and provide current information. To help us prepare our home for the market she made recommendations and estimated costs of things we could improve that were most likely to yield the most return on our investment. She met the contractors and gathered the estimates as well as scheduled the work to be done. We moved out and she took care of everything else. She provided staging for the entire house and it made a huge difference. received multiple offers over the list price within one day! She provided detailed reports of who looked at the house and what their interest level was. We had an unanticipated and tough situation come up during escrow and Allie was there to handle it, working cooperatively with us and the buyer's agent to come up with solutions. The sale went through and we were pleased with the final result. Allie was knowledgeable, flexible, honest and hardworking throughout the process. I would highly recommend her if you are buying or selling your home! B. Thomas, Seller - Vienna


Allie was totally awesome! My house sold for full sales price after only four days on the market. The pictures of the house were beautiful thanks to Allie's suggestions, and the brochures looked great! Allie knows the neighborhood and the value of its proximity to excellent schools and the amenities of Tyson's Corner including the easy access to Spring Hill Metro. She pays attention to detail, answers questions as close to immediately as possible, stays on top of deadlines, accommodates change easily, and makes the whole process simple and straightforward. Even though the buyers changed lenders during the process, Allie followed up with the new lender, and the sale went through without any issues. She made it so easy for me to sell my house! T. Diachok, Seller - Vienna


Allie helped me prepare my house for sale. She provided a photographer, a person who drew the floor plan, painters, repairmen and stagers. She was helpful with feedback from potential buyers and realtors. When a contract was offered, she not only helped me, but the buyer's realtor also to close the sale. Any problem that surfaced, Allie always dealt with direct and logical solutions. She is a problem solver! Closing was very shaky, but she is the best realtor I have ever worked with and I have listed and sold 7 houses since I've lived in this area. K. Godwin, Seller - Alexandria


Allie is a fantastic realtor. She never gave up trying to finalize our deal, even after we gave up. It is completely because of her efforts that we completed our deal, with no problems, at an excellent price. She was tireless. Can't recommend her enough!! C. Sova, Seller and Buyer - Vienna


Purchased a House after looking at many houses over a month and was very happy with the result. The process from contract through inspection and financing went very smoothly. A. Grose, Buyer - Fairfax


We had a great experience working with Allie for the sale of our house and the purchase of a new home. Allie helped us during a very stressful time to get our home ready for sale and guided us through the process of selling and buying. It was a pleasure working with her and her guidance helped us get our new home when there were multiple bids. We would highly recommend Allie!! E. O'Brien, Seller - Dumfries and Buyer - Vienna


Allie Chamberlain was our agent in selling our family home of many years. She did a fantastic job from start to finish, developing an effective strategy for marketing the house; advising us on staging and fix-up issues; and most importantly, negotiating brilliantly during the sale process. Our house sold in a matter of weeks and we could not have done better. Allie is the very best! L. Gibson, Seller - Annandale


I met Allie via a friends recommendation and I can't begin to say enough good things about my experience with her. She was highly professional and very friendly and extremely supportive as I was going through some difficult times. She made the entire experience go smoothly and explained in details the whole buying process of my home in the particular subdivision I was looking at. She obviously has been in real estate for some time since her experience was extremely evident by the recommendations she made and the wisdom she shared with me. I am thankful that I got her involved with the purchase of my home and would never consider engaging in such a transaction without the expertise of such a caring person. She works hard and sees things through till the very end, but her service continues on long after the closing. I highly recommend using Allie! M. Fares, Buyer - Vienna


Allie was fantastic in helping me on both the sale of my co-op and the purchase of a new single-family home in Arlington. She was tremendously skilled at working with other agents and kept me informed throughout the process, which was very empowering. T. Cotto, Seller and Buyer - Arlington


Allie helped me buy a house in a fairly heated spring market. She gave great guidance throughout the process and helped me stay level-headed. In the end, we found the perfect place! I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a real estate professional. M. Buie, Buyer - Alexandria


We purchased a single family home in Vienna, VA with Allie, who expertly guided us through the entire process in under a month! We were new to the area and didn't know what town we wanted to live in, or even whether we wanted a townhouse or single family home. She did a great job of educating us on what was available, but more importantly she quickly learned what we liked and didn't like. She previewed the properties for us, which was a great help. After only our third time out she took us to a house she thought would be a really good match. We walked in the door and immediately knew it was our home. She had read our minds perfectly - knowing what we wanted even before we really did - and we ended up making an offer that very day. She was willing to work on our contract and negotiations late on a weekend night and helped us reach the price we were looking for. We couldn't recommend her more highly. M. Wheeler, Buyer - Vienna


Allie Chamberlain was a phenomenal realtor and we have had many to compare her to. She is incredibly smart and business savvy. The thing that we appreciated the most about working with Allie is that we trusted her. In general we have yet to find many other realtors that are trustworthy, genuine and sincere. We were also impressed by how super detail oriented and knowledgeable she was. She was available to us day and night. Quick to answer all questions and concerns we had. Buying a house is stressful and has a lot of ups and downs, Allie made this whole process manageable for us. We feel like she took a lot of the stress upon herself and made our buying process relatively fun, actually! Bottom line is Allie looked out for our best interest and took care of us every step of the way. We strongly suggest choosing Allie as your realtor. B. Washington, Buyer - Ashburn


When we first met her we were impressed with her responsiveness, after a four and a half month house search, she exceeded every expectation we had for our realtor. We ended up going through three houses, walking from two houses after the home inspection. We put Allie through more work and headaches than most do, but she never faltered in her service and personal care/attention. She made us feel very comfortable about our decisions and never forced her opinion, though she provided great guidance throughout each decision we had to make (even when my wife and I had slightly different ideas/opinions!). We didn't know much about NoVA, but Allie consistently went out of her way to show and teach us as much as possible about the area. I can't stress to you enough how responsive she was during the process, taking calls and fielding emails early in the morning to late at night. She did her best to be responsive and update us with no updates when we were dealing with some less-than-responsive seller's agents, which was really reassuring to know that she was on-top of the situation and pushing for us. In the end, Allie helped us negotiate a great price and terms on our dream house. We highly recommend her!! D. Landsman, Buyer - Alexandria


Allie was a pleasure to work with while searching for our home. She was very knowledgeable about the area, which was extremely important since we were not. She was also extremely communicative, responsive, and always professional. E. Geckle, Buyer - Vienna


My family and I just relocated to Seattle from Northern Virginia for my work. We were very stressed out with the move and everything it entailed. We decided the best path forward was to rent out our home in Vienna, VA for 2 years to make sure the move to Seattle was the right choice for us. I had no landlord experience and weren't even sure where to begin. We decided to hire Allie and I are so glad we did. She met with us and viewed our home and made a few reasonable suggestions as far as things that we should fix up, paint, and etc. My job required that we move almost immediately so we had to work with Allie from afar in Seattle. She was great. She took great photos of our home and surrounding area and wrote a very professional description of our home. Almost immediately several people showed interest in the home. Allie showed the home numerous times to the family that ended up renting it on a two year lease. Getting our home rented within a couple of weeks was a life saver as several other homes in the neighborhood had been listed for rent for much longer than ours, and we simply could not afford to continue paying the mortgage in Virginia as well as rent in Seattle. I was very impressed with Allie as she had great insight as to how much we should rent the home for, and what types of things we could reasonably expect from our potential tenants. She took the time to talk with us and assess how she could best take care of our needs. When it came time to negotiate and finalize the terms of the lease, she worked hand in hand with us and the tenants to make sure both parties understood exactly what the lease required from each of us as landlord and tenant. I am confident that because of her due diligence and hard work that our first experience as landlords will be much more positive and rewarding than if we had tried to do it ourselves. I highly recommend Allie for any of your real estate needs, she is truly great at what she does. For what it is worth, we were so impressed with how she handled this entire process, we will have no hesitation in 2 years with using her to sell our home if we end up deciding to stay in Seattle. R. Baird, Seller - Vienna


It was a pleasure working with Allie during the process of finding and purchasing our first home. Allie was always available, has an excellent understanding of the market, had great recommendations for anything from home inspector to mortgage lender, and even worked late evenings to ensure our bid was placed ASAP. She has a fine attention to detail and I would highly recommend working with her on purchasing or selling a home. N. Miller, Buyer - Reston


Allie demonstrated excellent knowledge of the market. Her communication skills are diplomatic yet straight forward. She helped to alleviate a lot of the potential angst over selling a home. I highly recommend Allie as a realtor. A. Artley, Seller - Vienna


My husband and I relocated from Manhattan and were unsure where we wanted to live and whether we wanted a single family home, townhouse or condo. Allie did a great job showing us different neighborhoods and different types of homes. When we decided to purchase new construction, Allie was with us every step of the way from signing the contract and choosing upgrade options, to keeping tabs on the progress of our townhouse, to the pre-closing walk through and the closing process. Allie is an excellent realtor and we can’t recommend her enough! A. Barkan, Buyer - Fairfax


As a first time home buyer, the process seemed a little confusing and nerve-racking. Allie was patient with us and helped us weigh pros and cons. She listened to our concerns and explained the confusing legal/real estate terminology well. She went above and beyond after normal working hours and on weekends to make sure our paperwork was received and processed. She made us feel confident about the choice we made and the next steps. We are so happy to be in our first home and are indebted to Allie for the positive and smooth transaction! K. Baxter, Buyer - Alexandria


Allie Chamberlain went above and beyond the call of duty for us. We live in another state and had to trust her completely, and it turned out to be the best decision we've ever made. She was in constant contact, listened to what we wanted and found it! I would recommend her to ANYONE. I would highly recommend Allie to anyone who needed professional, friendly, and prompt help with their real estate needs. Allie handled everything professionally and quickly and kept us informed every step of the way. We are VERY satisfied! Allie was amazing from start to finish. S. Clark, Buyer - Vienna
