“I’m writing this recommendation for the Equity Rise Real Estate Group because I feel so strongly about sharing my recent experience with selling my home here in the Fairfax Corner area.
I knew that the current market conditions meant my choice of Realtor would be of the utmost importance. I needed someone who was 100% professional, had an exceptional marketing plan, and could successfully navigate any difficulties that might arise between contract and closing – all while keeping my interests at top of mind.
Frankly, I’ve worked with Realtors before and never found that ideal combination of deep skills, high competence, and outstanding client service. That is, until now. Through a referral from another satisfied home seller, I had the great fortune of meeting the Equity Rise Real Estate Group. They immediately impressed me with their depth of market knowledge in our area. After touring my home, they knew exactly what needed to be done to prepare my home for showings, while keeping my budget in mind. In addition, they presented the extremely professional & thorough marketing plan that they use to attract buyers – including those searching online. Furthermore, the Equity Rise team showed me they have the experience and negotiating skills to address the many issues that can come up between the time an offer is made on the home until it is finally sold at closing.
Most importantly, though, the team approached this entire process as if it was their own home being sold. They went out of their way to make sure everything was “just right” for the sale. They treated my financial goals with great respect, they communicated with me frequently, and really earned my trust. In the end, they were able to sell my home quickly and I was extremely satisfied with the entire process.
Would I work with the Equity Rise team again? Absolutely! I heartily recommend them if you or someone you know is considering selling or purchasing a home in the Northern Virginia area."

"The team at Equity Rise was my first and only contact because after walking through my home, they gave great suggestions on what my home needed to prepare it for sale. My home needed a lot of updating and the Equity Rise professionals made solid, strategic recommendations on where I should spend my money to get the biggest return on my investment. They helped me greatly in updating my home. I would have been lost without them.
I was newly married and anxious to move out of state to be with my husband, and the team at Equity Rise, made it their personal mission to see to it that I was able to move as soon as possible and managed to get me the highest value for my home in this difficult time in real estate.
Throughout the sales process, I really appreciated their constant communication with me and with potential buyers. The Equity Rise team educated me on the market changes as they occurred that in the end helped me make the best pricing decisions possible.
I was especially impressed with their negotiating of concerns raised by the buyer of my home. They were able to work through all the issues that arose between contract ratification and the settlement date. The sale truly was a win-win for both parties and I couldn’t be more pleased.
Thanks to Equity Rise, I am now residing comfortably in my new home with a happy husband and a healthy savings account!"

"Thank you for helping me sell my condo, especially in as little time as it took. I sincerely appreciated your assistance throughout the entire process, and I was most appreciative of your quick responses to all of my questions, calls, and emails.
You certainly helped ease the selling process for me, and you did it in such a thoughtful and professional manner. You will definitely be highly recommended by me! Thanks again."

"In this challenging real estate market we decided to rent our townhouse in Gainesville instead of selling. The house sat empty on the market for four months before Leigh Anne Monk from Equity Rise re-listed the house for lease. Within 12 days we had a qualified family to move in. Leigh Anne was very detail and action-oriented to get the job done. Her fluency in the Spanish language and her Spanish speaking skills were also critical in getting the tenant in place. The Equity Rise team also recommended, from their personal experience, a company for the tenant to use for automatic rent payment - thus easing collection issues.
We are absolutely thrilled with Equity Rise’s service and will certainly trust them to assist us on future deals as well. We highly recommend them and we have done so many times to potential sellers and landlords. Thanks again Equity Rise!"

"A lot of seller's agents get a listing and sit around waiting for buyers to show up, but the Equity Rise team focused on selling our house every day until it was done. They made it easy to get our house fixed up, worked with us to price it attractively, staged it effectively, and promoted it heavily. We received lots of personal attention. In a down market with competing properties all over the place we had a full price contract signed only 48 hours after our house went on the market. The Equity Rise team REALLY knows how to sell houses and did an outstanding job for us."
