He consistently checked in, answered all of my questions, and really looked out for my interests as a seller. I felt confident from the very beginning that he would take care of everything, and he really did! My fiancé and I look forward to buying our next home with his guidance. Thanks again, Max!

He instilled confidence in us throughout the home-selling process. He is very approachable, responsive, forward-thinking, and organized. He was very professional throughout the process and his knowledge was a huge asset to us. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone.

He took the time to thoroughly answer my questions, and explained things in a way that was clear and easy to understand. Even with several home-buying and selling experiences under my belt, I learned a lot. He's the best! Thanks, Max!

With his suggestions and the hard work him and his team did, they sold my home in 5 days and over asking price. If I ever have to sell in that area again, I will contact him again in a heartbeat!

It was a fast-paced market but you kept up with it every step of the way.

Let me know if I can ever help with anything - certainly, I'd be happy to refer you to anyone looking to have a smooth transaction. Best of Luck

Was awesome working with you, and appreciate your expertise!

Thanks so much for your very thoughtful gift. It's been such an awesome experience going through purchasing our very first home with you!

His humor, knowledge, and willingness to basically go anywhere and everywhere with us (at least 16 homes until we finally got it right) during the intensity of this 2021 housing market were unparalleled. Best realtor in the DMV hands down!"

It was such an easy and fun experience, so 5 years later, when we were ready for a little more elbow room, it was a no-brainer about who to call. We could tell you about how we walked away from our previous home with $19,000 over asking, or how we purchased our new home at $10,000 under asking, but the thing that really impressed us and what we really love about Max is how we truly felt like we were his only clients, even though we knew we weren’t. We knew he was giving just as much attention to his other clients, but we were none the wiser. Max is so thorough, so responsive, so professional, and he makes the whole experience really enjoyable. If you want to be confident that all the ‘i’s are dotted and the ‘t’s are crossed, if you want a guide to smoothly navigate you through the home buying or selling process, if you want it to be easy and fun, just call Max…you’ll be happy you did.”

He made looking for, finding, and buying a house easy, stress-free, and fun! Josh and I were so impressed by his responsiveness and attention to detail. He is always easy to reach, is very informative, and provides valuable guidance throughout the home buying process. He asked the questions that we didn't think to ask. In addition to the "business things" that go along with buying a house, we loved the awesome energy he infused into the whole process. It was fun every step of the way....and what better way is there to begin a new chapter?! There are lots of realtors out there, but I think you'd be hard-pressed to find one quite like Max.

His expertise and references helped make this sale happen within 24 hours! Max provided expert guidance and advice during the entire process which was the absolute reason we were successful in purchasing this home. His video comms are wonderfully personable and says a lot about the commitment you get when working with him. Living over 2 hours from the purchased home, he went the extra mile (literally 125+ miles) to make this a smooth process. I can't say enough about how great he and his team are. He's nice, funny, and will work super hard for you! Call him!"

I got my house at less than asking price along with a few other perks as well! I have been enjoying and slowly getting used to homeownership, and if I ever decide to sell this place or rent it out, I will definitely contact Max on how to do it!

He made buying a house during a pandemic as smooth as it can be. Each time we had a freak out, he was ready with data (that is what works for me) and never ever made us feel like we should be in a process we aren’t comfortable with. In the end, everything worked out amazingly. He is a true professional. He is on top of everything. He communicates promptly and keeps the process going without a snag. James and I needed all the prompts he sent to us. We are very happy with how everything was handled and how by working with Max we didn’t have to worry about anything. That’s what I will remember from this process. We got to buy a house we are very excited about and a complex potentially stressful transaction was handled by someone who is great at it! Thank you Max!

Max really knows his stuff and is great at keeping the lines of communication open and answering all of my questions. His market assessment was spot on. He and his organization are pros and get the job done. They make it look easy. He consistently provides wise counsel and exceeds expectations. I would not hesitate to engage him again.

From our experience, Max was always energetic, always had a positive attitude, responds almost immediately to inquiries, and was always willing to show us a place no matter how far or how odd of an hour it was. But I think the real selling point with Max, and what we felt set him apart from the other agents we worked with, is Max genuinely enjoys what he does. You can sense it when you work with him. You won't get good day Max and bad day Max. Just a really competetive and fun to work with Max. Would recommend to friends and family

He was extremely responsive whenever we had questions, was flexible when showing us homes, and gave us great advice at every step of the home buying process.

! We had so many boxes to check for the perfect house and Max made it all possible!! Our first home is everything we could have wished for and more- with over 23 showings in 2 days we were thrilled our offer was picked and that is all thanks to Max! He did not hesitate to make sure we got what we wanted! The transaction was smooth and he made sure to check in on us weekly as things can get hectic buying a home. Thank you so much, Max! We can’t wait to fill our home with so many memories to come!

He was incredible to work with - friendly and knowledgeable, but also the perfect mix of driven and relaxed. We never felt rushed or pushed to make a decision, but felt like Max was always honest and open with us about how the market was behaving and how it might affect our decision-making process. As first time buyers, we had a lot of questions and a pretty long list of wants from our home. Max helped us find our dream home and made the whole process fun and as stress-free as possible. We love our home and our realtor!!! Thanks Max!!!!

Throughout our home buying experience Max was constantly professional, highly knowledgeable, and tirelessly patient in answering our (many) questions and ensuring we thoroughly understood each step of the process. In every minute that we spent with Max either discussing or visiting properties, there was no doubt in our minds that we were his top priority. He advised us with clear understanding of our needs in a difficult market, guided us toward exactly what we were looking for in a home, and ensured that we were able to make an informed and confident decision. Having Max as our agent made the difference between choosing a home and choosing a great home, and we could not be more appreciative of all his work. "

He understood and accommodated our needs VERY well and did NOT waste our time. Our process was very long as we started early in the process and it was new construction build. However, we would not have had it any other way, as it gave us ample time to go through the purchasing process as a first timer. Max was very patient, very gracious, and made himself readily available whenever we had questions. Although we don't think we'll need to buy another place for a very long time, if we ever needed to do so in VA or MD, we'd go with Max again HANDS DOWN, and you should too!

He advised me on the sale of my mothers house including market values, the intricacies of pricing, offers, contract conditions, items to upgrade, and most importantly what not to do! We sold the house in 2 days and got so many offers that we ended up well above our asking price.

...which took a year! He was patient and focused on our preferences throughout the process, and even after the first 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, we never felt rushed or pressured into a decision until we finally found the perfect place. Would highly recommend Max! "

He was professional, polite, knowledgeable, and personal! He understand and worked with my situation and timeline and helped me found and purchased my home in super short time, and we got a great deal on it too!! Max was fantastic to work with, we had a lot of fun looking at the houses, chatting over coffee. I felt confident about the whole process as Max answered my many questions and took my worries away! Can't recommend more!

I was newly single and unsure about what I was looking for let alone doing. There were days where I would actually speak with him four times a day with nothing but a knowledgeable and warm response in return. I ended up buying a condominium in the Kentlands and couldn’t be more excited. Max was with me through settlement and was able to pick up on mistakes that I wouldn’t have. I so appreciated Max and will recommend him to anyone looking for a place in the DMV.

He might even be part therapist as he gently managed our emotional ups, downs, and fears of house-buying. The best thing about Max, he handed me what I wanted
