Lovely team, very attentive! Alex G is particularly wonderful to work with.

I had a great experience with Jenn Smira & Co. at Compass Real Estate, especially with Henderson. If you have a chance to work with him, you can tell he is 100%, extremely knowledgeable, and passionate about being an agent and getting his clients’ needs met. Ask him anything. He is super helpful, and so was the loan officer he matched me with. They are great communicators!!!

My experience with Jenn Smira’s team was great. Our realtor, Lauren Rondeau, was excellent and she was able to sell our condo at a time when the real estate market was less than ideal. She was communicative, always easily reachable, and helped throughout the entire process from pricing the property appropriately through to the closing. I would absolutely work with Lauren and Jenn’s team again!

I had the pleasure of working with Shelley. She was patient and helpful through the process of finding the perfect new home. She made time to view copious amounts of places, gave sound advice and feedback, and was super friendly. I highly recommend her if you are in the market!!!

I came across her ad and decided to take a chance by contacting Paula to help me find a house in a new city. It was probably the best decision I’ve made this year! I was looking for something very specific—a furnished, stylish home in a preferred area—and Paula delivered exactly what I wanted. She truly listened to my needs, searched tirelessly, and found me the perfect place. Her negotiation skills were impressive, and she made sure the terms were amicable.

Throughout the process, Paula was responsive, attentive, and always one step ahead. She made what could have been a stressful search feel seamless and enjoyable. I am very happy with my new home and couldn’t have done it without her. Paula is the best, and I recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone searching for their perfect home in D.C.!

Moving our family of four to Washington, D.C. felt like a huge undertaking, but Paula made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. With two young kids, we needed the perfect home to fit our family’s needs, and Paula guided us every step of the way.

From countless calls and video tours to carefully organizing visits, she was always available and attentive. She understood exactly what we were looking for and ultimately found us our dream home. Paula also negotiated skillfully on our behalf, making sure we got the very best terms.

Thanks to her dedication and guidance, our family is so happy and excited to start this new chapter in D.C. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner in the process and would recommend Paula wholeheartedly to anyone relocating with their family

Five star over-the -top service in the sale of my late brother’s home. From staging to final clean-out and lots of special projects in between, Leslie sold this house while I watched from a distance (400 miles). I am pleased and grateful.

When we first met Leslie Dembinski, it was by chance at an open house where she was the showing agent. We loved the place but didn’t have an agent of our own, so she offered to act as our agent when we expressed interest.

Immediately, we realized how fortunate we were to have crossed paths with her. The open house was a Saturday afternoon when we met her, we expressed interest in buying on Sunday morning, and by Monday morning she found us a local lender (on a Sunday) and got everything ready for an offer, which was accepted (to our surprise!).

Leslie was unwaveringly committed to protecting our interests, extremely responsive to developments, transparent at every stage, and gave us the sense that someone deeply knowledgeable and trustworthy was in our corner. She laid out all the options and implications clearly, gave us her opinions and reasons, but never pushed us towards deciding one way or another.

One of the things that impressed us most was Leslie’s deep expertise and strong network. She knows the housing market in this area inside and out, but her support didn’t stop there. She connected us with a lender that suited our particular financial situation. Leslie tapped into her big network to get us some market intelligence, which was helpful and reassuring when we had to make big and often quick decisions.

We also went through unexpected challenges along the way, including a layoff in the middle of our purchase. This was a stressful and uncertain time, but Leslie never wavered. She was incredibly supportive and optimistic throughout. Her calm, steady guidance gave us confidence, and she made sure the deal still went through successfully. It’s not an exaggeration to say that without Leslie, we would not be in our home today.

When selling our prior place, we had to list our condo during a historic market downturn. Despite the difficult timing, Leslie helped us maintain momentum, with creative solutions to drive interest to make sure our condo sold. Thanks to her persistence and know-how, we got a successful outcome in a market where many struggled.

Beyond her skill and determination, Leslie is simply a joy to work with. She is warm, approachable, and kind and genuinely cares for her clients. It never felt like we were just another transaction—she truly listened, understood what mattered to us, and acted as a partner in the process. It made the buying and selling processes much less stressful than it might have been otherwise, and we always felt that we were in the best pair of hands. She went above and beyond time and again.

We cannot recommend her highly enough. She is everything you could hope for in a realtor: knowledgeable, resourceful, professional, and endlessly supportive but also honest and able to balance optimism and realism. Thanks to her, we are happily settled in our new home, and we will always be grateful for her guidance through every twist and turn of the processes.

Morgan went above and beyond what I would have expected when my purchasing my new place in March! Attention to detail, thoughtfulness, and willingness to walk through every process was top notch. We were even were able to negotiate for a better deal than the listing price. Highly recommend Morgan for anyone looking to buy in the DC area!

We first met Don at an open house and were immediately impressed by his expertise and genuine willingness to share his knowledge. A few weeks later, we approached Don to be our buyer’s agent. Don far exceeded our initial impressions. Throughout the entire home-buying process, he was an exceptional educator, patiently guiding us through every aspect of the journey. From understanding market trends to assessing the quality of homes and navigating intricate regulations, he provided invaluable insights and support. He made the process feel so much easier and gave us immense confidence as first-time homeowners. With Don’s help, we were able to navigate the offer process smoothly and secure our dream home. He is truly an expert in his field, and he’s also incredibly kind and patient. We’re so glad we ran into him that day! We will absolutely be working with Don again in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional agent who genuinely cares about their clients.

Love working with Sarah and team! Sarah has been on this very long journey with us with lots of twists and turns and has helped us navigate the entire process. Her supporting team was also amazing. Sent me update emails and were on top of the paper work. Pleasure working with this group!

Working with Lauren Rondeau and the Jenn Smira team was extremely helpful as a first-time home buyer. She helped me understand what I wanted and stuck closely to our budget and preferences, as well as helping us to understand what to look for while touring potential properties. The whole process went so smoothly with no issues whatsoever, and we were able to close on a property within about 4 months!
