Ed assisted us in finding our first home. He worked with us for months, before we even knew if we were ready to buy. He was very responsive and helpful in answering our questions. Even though there were recent changes to the rules with the type of loan we were receiving, he never hesitated in finding out the answers to our questions and providing useful information. He was dedicated to ensuring our happiness to the process and was very honest and reliable. We would highly recommend Ed.

Denise and Ed did an absolutely awesome job of preparing, marketing and selling our property. We have been through this process many times. Without a doubt this team provided us the best service, advice, attention to detail, and customer care of any of the agents we have ever used. Their recommendations for cleaning, clearing, preparing, and staging our townhouse were based on years of experience in our neighborhood and paid immediate dividends. Within days of the listing, and on the heels of [...]

We were very lucky to have Denise and Ed on our team when we sold our townhouse and bought a single family home. This team offers a wealth of knowledge gained from years of experience and dedication, tried and true methods for successfully listing and selling a home, knowledge of the neighborhood and the market, and an extensive Rolodex of qualified professionals. The thing that truly set them apart from the rest was their dedication to us, the clients. They prioritize developing a relationship [...]

As a first-time homebuyer, I couldn’t be happier to have worked with Denise Buck and Ed Johnson! I spent most of my time with Denise; she is incredibly knowledgeable about all homes… from the construction to the appliances, layout, and potential for upgrades and home value. She is very professional, patient, and truly took the time to understand my wants and needs. We visited homes, in which she pointed out even the smallest details; this was an incredible value added to our relator-client [...]

Denise and Ed are exactly who you want on your team if you are trying to both sell a property and purchase a new home. I have worked with other agents in the past, and no one compares in terms of staging and marketing skills. Denise's eye for detail is bar none! My home received multiple offers and was under contract in less than a week. I was nervous about finding the right home for me and my family in time, and Denise and Ed put in the extra time and attention to help me find exactly the [...]

Ed had a good understanding of what we were looking for and found many interesting properties. He also adapted when we changed our search based on job requirements. He was energetic and prompt and Denise stepped in to keep things moving when there were time conflicts. There was good follow-up during the weeks for inspections and mortgage approval. And we were represented well in requiring inspection items be repaired before closing. They also provided us with good leads for mortgage counselor, [...]

When we asked Denise Buck to sell our home, she knew exactly what we needed to do to get top dollar. Denise was extremely professional in her plans for preparing our home for sale, through the execution of the marketing and open house. Our property had a contract in place within 2 days after holding the open house. Denise and Ed's experience was demonstrated in answering all questions we had and making great recommendations in the preparation of selling our home. Denise and Ed took the [...]

We met Ed Johnson at an open house in Springfield, VA. We were not yet ready to buy and were getting to know some neighborhoods in the area. After a nice conversation, we knew he was the realtor for us. So when the time came to start seriously looking, we called Ed. After a great first meeting we were prepared thanks to Ed's great knowledge and advice. It didn't take long for us to find our home and Ed helped to quickly negotiate a deal before the home had it's first open house. I [...]

Denise and Ed represented my wife and I in selling and purchasing our new home during the pandemic. During a hot market, Denise and Ed understood that we needed to act quickly, and they always made themselves available to discuss new listings. Denise was instrumental in getting top dollar for our sale. She knows what buyers and the market want, but she also understands budgetary constraints. Denise and Ed were also able to help instrumental in negotiating the purchase of our future home. Denise [...]
