TESTIMONIALS

"Buyer’s Edge helped us every step of the way in buying our first house. Our agent, Valerie, took the time to understand our needs and walk us through the process. She was very available to us and made buying a house much less overwhelming. Valerie was professional, very knowledgeable of her field, and was able to help us get the house for $14,000 less than the listed price. We’ve even kept in touch after moving in. We would definitely recommend Buyer’s Edge to anyone looking to buy a house in the area."
- Kevin and Allison


"I've hired at least six real estate agents in the past and Valerie is by far the best. I have yet to meet an agent that I liked and trusted as much."
- Mia, single family home, Montgomery County


"We enlisted Valerie's help when buying both of our houses, our starter home in 2001 and our latest this past May. She is professional, very personable, and helped us every step of the way, especially in finding out as much info as possible about the prospective house and seller, as well as negotiating the best deal possible. If we are ever in the market again in the DC area, she will be our first choice."
- Diana and James, single family home DC, single family home MC


"Valerie makes the daunting task of buying a home much easier than it otherwise might be, and she makes the time one spends looking for a home enjoyable. She is knowledgeable and honest, and she gives an honest assessment of a home and whether it fits with her clients goals and desires. She will not let you buy a home just out of frustration -- she'll make certain that you buy a home that is right for you.
- Josh, row house, DC


"We hired Valerie Winebrenner as our Real Estate agent to assist us in finding and buying a house in suburban Maryland. This was a very challenging undertaking given our many criteria (price, schools, commutes, etc). The process took several months. Valerie's patience, professionalism, and knowlege of the real estate market in this area helped to make our house search ultimately successfully. We would recommend her without reservation and would use her again if we once again needed to relocate.
- Steve and Ann, single family home, Montgomery County


"Valerie was referred to us by my wife's supervisor at the World Bank. We looked for our first home over the course of 18 months, starting with condos and eventually purchased a single family home in the Four Corners area of Silver Spring. Valerie was diligent in providing us with information on a daily basis. We were able to see any listing we were interested in and benefited greatly from Valerie's insight at each location. We liked the fact that Valerie only deals with the buying side of the transaction, a true advocate for her clients. I highly recommend Valerie when purchasing a home."
- Nick, single family home, Montgomery County


"My wife and I hired Valerie to help us with the daunting task of finding and purchasing a house. We didn't have a good idea about the type or location of our ideal home, yet Valerie was very accommodating about showing us houses all over Montgomery and Howard County. She gave very honest assessments of each house's strengths and weaknesses and helped us evaluate the best choice for our growing family. Valerie is an excellent negotiator and helped us buy our new home for $30K less than the original asking price. In her role as en exclusive buyer's agent, Valerie represented our interests and made sure we were happy with the outcome of every part of the transaction. We give Valerie our strongest recommendation. Working with her was a true pleasure.”
- Nat, single family home, Howard County


"Valerie has the patience of a saint! My husband and I had very specific parameters in our home search and worked with Valerie for nearly a year until we found just the right fit for our family. She has very deep knowledge of the real estate market in DC, MD and VA. At the time we were house hunting (2003), it was a seller's market and there were 6 offers on the house of our dreams. Valerie had creative solutions to help us craft the winning offer and surprisingly we were not the highest bid! If/when we decide to move within the DC metropolitan area, Valerie will be our first call - no question. In addition to our experience, Valerie has had repeated successes working with family and close friends over the years."
