Read More"We recently bought a home with Bob and could not have been happier with our choice of realtors.
When we started looking for a home in the Northern Virginia area we reached out to trusted friends and asked if they could recommend a realtor. They gave us Bob’s name. We called Bob later that day and instantly knew he was the right choice for us. Within a day he had arranged a viewing of a property – and we settled on a home within a month.
Bob is the quintessential professional. He takes his job very seriously and understands the importance of looking after his clients. Throughout the process, we never felt like Bob was trying to sell us anything. He truly was a partner in our search.
Bob is incredibly detailed oriented, knowledgeable and amazingly responsive. Because of Bob’s expertise, he took care of matters that were far above and beyond what we ever would have expected – without ever asking; he reviewed and notated the homeowner’s association documents, he hand-delivered our ratified settlement statement to the HOA for us, provided mechanical expertise on the systems of the home, and provided a single PDF of the important purchase documents – encrypted for security.
Bob did all this for us and even paid his brokerage's transaction fee for us.
We can’t say enough about Bob. We look forward to our next transaction with him."

Read More"This is yet another testimonial to the very positive experience of working with Bob. He was highly recommended to me by my financial advisor, whose opinion I completely trust. I had anticipated that selling my home would be overwhelming, but Bob made it such an easy task. He personally did all the prep work to make the house attractive for photographs and for prospective buyers. When settlement on my house was delayed, due to the fault of the buyer’s agent and settlement company, Bob took care of the problems that occurred because of it.
It was very important to me that my dog and cats be treated kindly and with respect during the process of selling my home, and Bob certainly did that! After I had moved and before the sales contract was signed, Bob continued to offer services that went beyond what would normally be expected of a realtor. He removed the hazardous waste materials from my garage and shed and disposed of them in an environmentally sound way. He also donated my dog’s extra bowls, leashes, and towels to a local animal shelter.
It was truly a pleasure working with Bob. "

Read More"Bob Johnson was professional, prompt, and helpful during the combination purchase and sale of two properties. His advice and knowledge of the local market meant we succeeded in transitioning from one property to the other without delay or dual mortgage payments for months and months. Aside from this, Bob is a great guy. I feel he genuinely was concerned about all aspects of our transaction from the closing down to the small details such as taking care of our cats while the unit was listed and we were out of town, or offering to fix minor things on the property to improve the presentation or even assisting in returning old paint to hazardous materials disposal. Trust me - you just don't get this level of involvement from just any realtor. Thanks Bob!"

Read More"This was my second transaction with Bob and the level of service he provides is far greater compared to all other agents (outside of McEnearney) that I have had experience with. Throughout the entire process, he made things as easy as possible for me. He helped to increase the show-value of my unit in a number of ways including matching and buying paint to touch-up certain areas and fixing a nickel sized on the tub. He researched and ordered the matching touch-up kit - making four trips over a week to add the layers needed for a strong repair. He also washed my enclosed balcony exterior windows, sliding glass doors, and side windows. Most importantly, his advice on list price and time to place on market led to multiple offers that resulted in selling well over list price. He also continued to help following the sale. At my request he posted and donated my section couch which saved me a 2-hour drive and removal costs. He even made extra keys for the buyers without being asked to make things easier for the buyers and their agent. It was always clear that my interests were foremost - he never made recommendations based on selfish interests. This combined with this deep knowledge and understanding of the market made him a true adviser. I strongly recommend Bob!"

Read More"There are simply not enough words to convey how wonderful Bob is! We had to move from California to the D.C. area within a short amount of time for a military relocation. From the moment we first contacted Bob, we were incredibly impressed with his professionalism, resourcefulness, diligence, and commitment to helping us find a great home. Every step along the way, he helped to ensure that our house hunting and buying process was the least of our concerns during what was already going to be a stressful endeavor. He was very quickly able to identify our preferred house style and the part of town that would be most beneficial. When we could not be readily present for the home inspection, he was right there, giving us step-by-step updates regarding the inspector's findings. When it came time to find mortgage and settlement companies, he helped us shop around for some, both of which companies saved us money in the end. As if all of that wasn't enough, he even helped us find some furniture options when we mentioned that we would need more furniture to fill our new home. The man does not rest until he feels his clients are 110% satisfied. We will be using no other realtor for our housing needs from this point forward. He knows his business and is a tireless advocate for his clients. Selecting Bob as your realtor will be the best decision you will ever make."

Bob flawlessly handled the sale of our condo and allowed us to focus on moving, setting up our new home, and starting my new job. His use of virtual and remote tools was especially appreciated. Additionally, Bob went above and beyond when we discovered that our movers had left behind a few boxes.

From the first contact, Bob was nothing less than the most helpful and sincere agent we have ever worked with. He listened to what we needed in a home and he thoroughly explained the differences in the market we were looking at. He was completely correct, we never expected a market to be as quickly moving as we found, but Bob was there every step of the way to guide us. We planned a house hunting trip and after meeting with Bob to pin down our likes and what areas, he took us on a journey of homes. We traveled several hours daily over the next few days and saw a variety of homes. Once we found our next home and had to return to our previous location, Bob continued to go above and beyond. He stood in for us on a local level and continued to move our sale forward while dealing with a sale that was going through a relocation company. He gave us sound advice from years of realty experience and guided us in every step of purchasing our new home. He went above and beyond in making this challenging purchase and I highly recommend him as an agent."

He helped me move my belongings to a storage unit (providing the truck and muscle), re-homed all the furniture I was not able to find a home for, obtained bids for painting and inspected the work, did paint touch up, cleaned (even windows!), examined the settlement statement like a hawk for errors, acted as my attorney-in-fact since I could not be present for the closing, and performed other services that I have forgotten because they were so numerous. Really, it's hard to imagine a way that Bob could have been more helpful. Everything was volunteered cheerfully with no implication that I was imposing.

Read More"Bob Johnson helped us purchase a condominium ten years ago, and he also helped us sell it last month. Both times his help and support were crucial and very much appreciated.
Regarding the sale, Bob made the transaction about as easy and trouble-free as could be expected. Thanks to his network, he was aware of persons who might be interested in our unit. As a result, he brought interested potential buyers and helped obtain a full price offer without contingencies prior to the unit being listed on the MLS. This spared us from the stress of multiple showings and greatly facilitated the move out process. Throughout the period between the contract and final sale, he helped ensure that important details were fair for the purchasers and us.
As a buyer’s agent ten years ago, Bob brought us to about 20-25 properties, carefully pointing out details which we sometimes failed to notice. He knew which buildings generally pleased owners and which ones had important issues. There was never pressure to buy. His experience was evident.
In short, we were very pleased with Bob, both as a buyer’s agent and as a seller’s agent. As such, we strongly recommend him as an agent for buyers or sellers."

After conducting an extensive realtor interview process with several different firms, we both knew Bob was the perfect fit. Now having won a seven-offer bidding war on an open-concept, single-family home with a 10 minute walk to the metro, we're even more sure of our decision. He was patient (never once did we feel pressured to consider a home that didn't exceed our expectations), a fantastic resource (he should really teach a first-time home owner course), always available, proactive/thorough (researched energy efficiency of windows, gas line availability, roof replacements costs, and talked to neighbors at multiple properties), and an all around stand-up guy. Since closing, he's continued to surpass our expectations by providing us with a comprehensive list of quality vendors and visiting on move-in day with a welcome present. Even when plumbing issues arose after settlement that were impossible to detect before closing, Bob ensured they were dealt with by the seller in less than 24 hours at no cost to us. We actually miss our weekend outings with him. Not only did we find our dream home, but we also gained a friend in the process!"

Bob was always patient with us and most importantly ALWAYS put us first throughout the home-buying process.

From our first offer to the closing on our new home, never did we question any of our decisions. "

Read More"I had sold my condo with Bob, and was looking to purchase a larger one a few months later. I didn't realize what a different perspective it would be, and Bob was instrumental throughout the process. It took a long time, and Bob was very patient. We looked at several properties the first couple of months, and I discovered I really didn't know what I wanted. Bob took each viewing personally, reminding me if a condo was "just ok" or too small or overpriced. You almost had the feeling he was purchasing the property for himself! His perspective helped me tailor my "must have" requirements. From that point forward I had confidence in when to make offers. Even then, when the price was too high given the neighborhood and comparables, Bob would step in and give a recommendation to not offer asking price. Our offer and desired location were finally accepted, and Bob's value as an agent was just getting started. Bob worked with the condo association to access documents, and went back and forth when items were missing. He read every document, and pointed out the health of the HOA based on his time as a condo board president. He also noted owner action items that would be needed once we finished closing. When a closing date was decided, Bob went to task on suggesting lenders. He obtained quotes from 8 lenders; one of them was the clear winner, saving thousands of dollars over the life of the loan. I admit I would not have been as thorough. A friend of mine was also closing and was floored at how much better the rate was than his own research. Thanks to Bob we both got a great deal. During closing, Bob managed all the documents and provided a digital copy for easy record keeping. He also provided unexpected care packages for me, helping me make a smooth transition into the home. He provided a fire extinguisher(his standard gift apparently), made copies of keys that were missing, replaced burned out LED lights in the kitchen, and provided new flapper valves for each bathroom toilet. He must have seen the need for those at inspection and was just waiting for the property to turn over before acting on them. That's just the kind of person he is; he really wants to make sure you're satisfied with your new home, and that he's provided great service to get you there. I highly recommend Bob Johnson."

Read More"Selling a home filled with 15 years of memories was obviously more than just a business transaction for me. And so, I was pleased that Bob Johnson understood this when we first sat down to start the process of selling my home. His empathy and strong business acumen combined to make the sale not only profitable but as stress free as one could hope. From the first day we met, it was clear Bob did his homework. Based on data of comparable sales and the quality of my unit, Bob suggested a very aggressive pricing strategy that would take into consideration the issues of an August launch. The strategy worked, and I received over 13 percent more for my home than I had previously anticipated. Bob's efforts went beyond just pricing and marketing my home. He became a partner in staging, and assisting me in clearing out the home and liquidating all that I would not be moving. He either sold, or donated all I needed to unload, even going so far as to drop off my cable equipment. Bob helped fix and repair the issues uncovered in my home inspection, negotiating good deals for the larger repairs and addressing smaller issues himself. He flawlessly addressed all of the negotiations between the new owner and myself, making the final days in my home as stress free as one could. Bob responded quickly to my calls, or texts, and kept me well informed of the many stages in the process providing me with a PDF of all closing documents. And at closing he paid the $295 brokerage transaction fee. I've recommended Bob to other friends, and they've also reported back a very positive and profitable experience."

Read More"This was our first home-buying experience, and we couldn't ask for a better realtor than Bob Johnson. He was referred to us by a friend and immediately felt connected with our first conversation. Being an active duty Air Force officer, and knowing that Bob was a retired AF officer, I immediately knew that we could trust him to do the best job for us. From the minute we contacted him, he was always very quick to respond to all of our calls, texts, and emails. As we visited various properties, he was quick to pick up on our personal preferences and was honest in his opinion of certain properties and wouldn't steer us in the wrong direction. He would advise to go forward or not make offers on certain properties based on his expertise. We moved from California and didn't have the opportunity to view properties, and Bob would visit them for us, facetime and provide photos and videos of each place. We ended up putting an offer down on a For Sale by Owner property that Bob found for us without even seeing it in person because that's how much we trusted him. He helped us negotiate below full price in a time when escalations are common. He also developed a good relationship with the owner who ended up offering many free furniture items to us. We ratified the contract, completed the home inspection and everything else that comes with home-buying all from California and came to a home that was as we expected it, if not better. On top of all of Bob's great work, he offered a military discount and even helped pay for things in advance and we'd pay him back. And to even top that, he put all of our settlement documents into a PDF file for us (even highlighted tax-related items!) and placed it on a USB drive for us to keep to avoid carrying around a large stack of papers. To say the least, Bob was the perfect Realtor and we are so thankful for his hard, detailed work. We can even say that we've made a good friend in the process. I would highly recommend his services to all my friends and family as you won't be disappointed. Thanks so much again for everything Bob!"

Read More"I can't say enough good things about my experience working with Bob on my recent condo purchase. I was stationed on the West Coast and getting ready for an overseas deployment when I found out that I would be transferred to the Washington DC area after just a few months on deployment. I reached out to Bob on the recommendation of a close friend and Bob delivered! My schedule prevented me from visiting the DC Metro Area but Bob gave me the knowledge, insight, and confidence to buy a condo sight unseen. Because of his talent and effort, I was able to move into my own residence immediately after arriving at my new assignment! Bob expertly used pictures and videos to show me potential properties. He was generous with his time and provided me the opportunity to "visit" several properties in real time with him via FaceTime. Once I had selected a property that I liked enough to consider making an offer Bob worked with me to allow one of my close friends to meet him at the property for me to get a second set of eyes on the property in the form of a long time friend. I was grateful for the opportunity to have a close friend see the property and it was especially reassuring when my friend telephoned to tell me how knowledgeable Bob had become on the condominium property and nearby neighborhood. While I was preparing to make an offer Bob did the detailed research for me...he read more than 500 pages of condo association resale package materials and helped me understand items of interest, he provided a list of utility providers, and helped me determine the parking, public transportation, and storage options at the residence. All those little details made my transition so much easier! He even mapped out a timeline for me to ensure a seamless transfer of utilities and other condo specific requirements. Bob went above and beyond when he noted the age of the smoke detectors and recommended the appropriate replacement options to ensure my safety immediately upon occupancy. He closed out the transaction by offering me a Military Rebate at settlement and packaged up all the transaction documents into a single PDF for my review while I was overseas. In summary, Bob was my most trusted agent throughout this entire process. He was knowledgeable, effective, and responsive to my individual needs. Bob will be my first choice for any future realtor needs I may have!"

Read More"The process of selling a home is exhausting in our market. While the DMV is often immune to some of the challenges other real estate markets face, even during a global pandemic are market held strong. With that said it was very challenging finding a realtor that understood our market, Falls Church, selling distressed homes and dealing with two equal partner sellers. After interviewing which felt like an endless list of people, we found Bob. A little background, my brother and I inherited our childhood room which was in need of a facelift. While it wasn't a dump by any means it needed some tlc. Bob from day one made us feel like we're a partnership when others just wanted to stick a yard sign up to drive more leads their way Bob took the opposite approach. He didn't sugar coat the facts. The numbers he presented and go to market Strategy made sense and at the end of the day executed perfectly.
The results? Bob presented us a plan to minimize our out of pocket costs while increasing the value of our home. He sold the home on the second viewing. More impressively he sold it for $15,000 more than he listed it for and more impressively was able to get all our terms met in the contract process including delaying our move out timeline to give us time to find our new forever home. After we signed the contract he immediately went to work finding us apartments, using his industry contacts and vast experience to negotiate favorable lease terms for both my brother and I. Not only did he get us $15,000 more on our home but saved me personally $2,000 over the course of one year's lease. To say I'm satisfied with Bob doesn't express my true gratitude for what he was able to do for my family. Not only did he deliver but saved us thousands of dollars in closing costs, renovations and at the end of the day he sold the home for more than what he promised. Isn't that what you wanted a realtor?
During the entire process he was extremely available, I don't think I waited longer than a few hours to hear back from him and when we were in the trenches negotiating with the buyer he would answer calls, text and emails within minutes. And while the rental aspect is not as lucrative for him he worked even harder and longer to ensure that we were taken care of weeks before we had to be out of the home which alleviated so much stress being so close to the holidays during a global pandemic. at the end of the day ask yourself this question do you want your home sold? Or do you want it sold right. Realtors are going to tell you what you want to hear and while on paper that might sound great when push comes to shove I would be hard pressed to find somebody with the results that Bob has constantly brought to the table and a simple Google search will show that. Bob is a true full-service realtor that gets the job done. I will forever be indebted to him and thankful for his service to my family and cannot recommend his services enough. Please feel free to contact me day or night to discuss this further I'd be happy to answer any of your questions."

Read More"Who says buying a home in the DC/Arlington area is difficult?? They obviously didn't have Bob on their team. Our family of four (two under 3 yrs) had a pretty significant wish list, and we unfortunately didn't have the luxury of being in the area for the ENTIRETY of the house hunt and purchase process -- but with Bob, we didn't even notice the geographic separation. Some of the game-changing attributes that Bob brought to the table: (1) Communication - I honestly don't know how communication could have been any better. Morning, day, or night, Bob was available and extremely response via text/email/phone call and often knew our questions before we even brought them up. Obviously time is of the essence when home buying in the NCR, and without a doubt I can say we would not have landed our amazing home if not for Bob's communication, insight, and recommendations. (2) Immense knowledge -- Not only did Bob have an immensely respectable military career with the Air Force, but he has since gained more real estate knowledge than I would have ever expected. Bob had KEY insights into every single home we looked at, things we never would have considered but ultimately made the difference between us finding a house and us finding our home. (3) Servant agent -- like I said, our family was fully remote for the home-buying experience but that didn't stop Bob from ensuring our virtual walk-throughs felt in-person, the pictures, the periphery chats he had with potential neighbors to get "the inside scoop" on a property, the numerous conference calls, well-considered thoughts on what would make our offer stand out from any others... the list goes on, and on. We truly felt like Bob's only client because of the over-the-top support we had throughout the experience. (4) The Follow-Up -- even after the home purchase was complete, Bob knew our move would lag behind the close date by a number of weeks. He continually stopped over at the house, checked the locks, the windows, checked for leaks, for insects, or anything that would require attention before we arrived! It was such a weight off our minds to know that our new home was being well taken care of until we arrived. I know there are a lot of fantastic agents in the NCR, but Bob is truly best-of-the-best. He didn't just come "recommended" by a close family friend; he came "required" by that family friend -- there was no discussion about it, we were going to be using Bob because she knew we'd need the best to land our dream home!"

Read More"Bob was an invaluable resource in the sale of my condo. With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic (and me living over 400 miles away), I needed this to be a completely hands-off transaction. As such, I wanted to deal with someone that I could trust to not only help me make the right decisions along the way but also to carry out the entirety of the sale process in my absence. Bob was definitely the man for the job.
Bob provided remodeling recommendations and handled all interactions with multiple vendors, arranging to have the unit painted as well as new appliances and hardwood floors selected and installed. He arranged for some needed plumbing repairs, and even provided some spare parts from his own home that he had on hand to keep costs down. Seeing the finished product made me wish I could move back in!
The COVID-influenced condo market was brutal from a seller’s perspective and Bob’s guidance helped me remain patient. His suggested strategy of removing the unit from the market for 60 days during the winter (and re-listing at a slightly reduced price) paid off in the form of a full-price offer within 10 days of re-listing. It is not an exaggeration to say that absent Bob’s market knowledge, my unit would likely have sat on the market for several weeks longer (if not months).
On top of all this, Bob was very responsive, proactive, and professional every step of the way. I definitely made the right choice in putting the sale of my condo in Bob’s hands. "

Read More"Bob started as our realtor but soon became a dear friend. We were moving to the D.C. area for a military move and connected with Bob through a friend's recommendation. To this day, we are so thankful that we were introduced to Bob. He found us a townhome that was not only in a great neighborhood but also very accessible to our work commuting needs. He is consistently several steps ahead of what your situation requires and never ceases to amaze with his forethought and preparation. He knows his stuff, and it shows. When it came time to sell our home, his excellence shined through yet again. Our only problem is that we couldn't take him with us to our new city, and we miss him. already."
