TESTIMONIALS FROM HOPE'S PAST CLIENTS
". . . always has the clients' best interest as top priority..."
We met Hope about 8 years ago while looking for a house for my sister and called her when we unexpectedly found a home we wanted to buy. She represented us for the purchase and then helped us sell our home quickly. She always has the clients’ best interest as top priority, works hard and with integrity. -- Arlington, Virginia
"No hidden surprises..."
We enjoyed working with Hope (this is the second house she has helped us buy) and she also helped us to understand the selling side! (she met with us over a year ago to offer suggestions on what to improve to get the best price for or house.) No hidden surprises…Hope explained everything to us very thoroughly.
". . . outstanding performance..."
I would like to thank you for your recent outstanding performance in selling my house at 1549 Dunterry Place, McLean. Your experience and unique understanding of the Stoneleigh market enabled a prompt sale for an optimum price. The whole process was a most pleasant experience because of your friendly and businesslike approach and your competent handling of the transaction.
". . . knowledge, negotiating power and speedy action..."
Just a note to thank you for helping my daughter find her town home. At long last she has a place that meets her specifications. As you know it’s just the place she wanted. With the market as crazy as it is now, your real estate expertise was critically needed. It was your contacts, knowledge, negotiating powers and speedy action that made it happen.
". . . made buying our first home a pleasurable experience."
This letter is to let you know how pleased we were with you as our buyer’s agent. You certainly made buying our first home a pleasurable experience. We were impressed with your professionalism and commitment to our needs. Your expertise was indispensable. As a busy couple we appreciated your flexibility and your ability to adjust to our schedules. We especially appreciate your referral to Doug Roderick for creative financing. We both consider you a close ally and a reliable friend. We will certainly contact you in the future for any real estate needs and would recommend you highly to our friends and associates.
". . . allowed me to make a profitable decision at the right time."
As a first time buyer and eventual seller of the property after a period of renting it, Hope was patient and informative. Her knowledge of the real estate market allowed me to make a profitable decision at the right time. Hope’s advice about power of attorney saved me the expense of traveling from Indiana to Virginia for the settlement.
"Talk about service above and beyond the call of duty!"
I have to tell you about the great service we got recently from one of your agents, Hope Skilling. Talk about service above and beyond the call of duty! She was not only diligent and competent, but she was a pleasant person to work with in every way. If Ms. Skilling is representative of your firm, I expect to hear big things about McEnearney Associates in the years ahead. You will have my repeat business and I am telling all my friends.
"Excellent customer service!"
Hope and her assistant made our house search so much easier. Very helpful throughout the whole process including providing referrals for other vendors. As first time home buyers, we couldn’t have asked for a better agent! Excellent customer service! -- Falls Church, VA
"At every phase of the process, she was professional and knowledgeable..."
Over the course of four to five months, Hope could not have been more helpful in assisting us. She worked with us in preparing our townhouse for sale, guided us through several late night negotiation sessions, and finally resolved a contentious closing. At every phase of the process, she was professional and knowledgeable and we felt she always represented our best interests. Hope did such a great job in helping us find our new home, we may not need the assistance of a Realtor for years to come. But, be assured we will enthusiastically recommend Hope and McEnearney Associates to our friends and associates. Your company is fortunate to be represented by an agent as capable and hard working as Hope Skilling. -- Arlington, Virginia

"Everything about Hope's service was exceptional!"
Years ago, Hope helped us look for a rental house. We remembered how helpful she was and called her when we were needed the services of a professional Realtor for a purchase. If it weren’t for Hope’s dedication to helping us, we would never have been able to purchase this home.
