Testimonials

Buying a home in today's market can be exhausting and stressful, but if you're ready to take the ride, my wife and I can highly recommend Grace and her team. They are professional and personable, and it was obvious to us from day one that her primary concern was getting an in-depth understanding of what we were looking for, and then finding us the right home that we'd be happy in for years, not simply "making a sale." From fielding all our calls and questions at any time of the day, to pointing out concerning aspects of potential homes that we may not have considered, Grace was masterful at making the whole process as easy as possible. If and when we want to buy again, Grace will be the first person we call!

We moved from out of state, so a complicated move. Additionally we had to coordinate selling our existing home. Grace was very easy to work with, coordinated a complex financial situation, and facilitated the transaction without issue. Super easy to work with!

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of working with Grace Chicca again when selling our most recent home, and we can confidently say that, yet again, she exceeded all of our expectations! Grace had previously helped us with 2 other real estate transactions (to sell another home and buy our last home), and the positive experiences with working with her previously, brought us back to her again. From start to finish, Grace, yet again, demonstrated exceptional knowledge of the local market, attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to ensuring we always felt comfortable throughout the entire process.

Grace was always available to answer our questions, providing thorough explanations and making complex aspects easy to understand. Her communication was flawless, keeping us informed at every step. Whether it was scheduling open houses & showings at times that worked for us, dealing with the Home Owner’s Association for receiving the resale approvals, coordinating with the home stagers & marketing photographers, navigating the various aspects of the settlement with the title company, or offering sound advice when it came to pricing and offers, Grace very truly proved to be an awesome advocate for us. Grace also has the support of an extremely competent team at Compass | Monarch Properties (quite notably, her executive assistant, Mary Ann Lorenzo) who all form a cohesive unit to work together to ensure that all our real-estate needs are seamlessly handled!

What impressed us the most was Grace’s dedication to getting the best outcome. She was never pushy, but she always provided honest and helpful feedback, allowing us to confidently make informed decisions (the comprehensive and professional Comparable Market Analysis she produced for us helped us set an informed and competitive sale price for our home!).

Grace’s connections in the industry also ensured that the entire process went smoothly and on time, from contracting folks for minor repairs to getting the home show-ready, from home staging to marketing photography, and from inspections to closing. As a testament to this fact, we were able to receive an offer within a day of the initial showing, and settle on the sale of our home within 3 weeks of placing the initial listing!

On top of her professional skills, Grace is simply a joy to work with. Her friendly, approachable personality made what could have been a stressful process a pleasant experience. She took the time to understand our needs, and her genuine care was clear every step of the way.

If you’re looking for a real estate agent who is professional, meticulous, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about your goals, we highly recommend Grace Chicca. Whether you're buying or selling, you'll be in the best possible hands with Grace. She made the entire experience stress-free and gratifying, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome!

I can’t talk enough about Grace. With our very limited time window , she has given most of her time showing different properties and locations that we liked. She knows DMV area so well and I am glad it worked out and we have bought a beautiful home with her help in Fairfax.

I worked with Grace at the end of last year into the beginning of this year; she was amazing from start to finish. My home buying process was less than ideal to say the least (unrelated to Grace or anyone at Compass) and Grace did everything she could to help along the way. Grace advocated for me and helped make my dream of being a homeowner come true. She was very thorough and detailed in explaining the process to me as I was a first time homebuyer. Grace regularly checked in and made sure to answer any questions that came up for me. I would recommend Grace to anyone looking to buy a home in the DMV.

As first-time buyers in the DMV area, it was crucial for us to feel informed and not pressured into any decisions. We wanted to understand the entire process and the market. During our search for realtors, Grace stood out from our very first conversation. From our initial in-person meeting, she was friendly, knowledgeable, and patient throughout the entire process, despite the crazy market conditions.

Working remotely to find a house that met our requirements and budget, Grace was proactive and incredibly responsive. She managed house visits, dealt with the challenging time differences to schedule meetings, coordinated with the loaner, and submitted offers promptly. Her honest opinions were invaluable and greatly respected. With her help, we finally bought our house.

I highly recommend Grace to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and friendly realtor who truly understands the market. She proved to be an outstanding, capable, and approachable realtor and advisor. Grace's extensive knowledge of the area and the housing market makes her an excellent choice for anyone interested in buying or selling property.

Grace was our agent for two home sales in the past few years, with the latest one being last month. Both times were seamless and smooth. Even when unexpected issues arose, Grace helped us handle them with ease and kept the stress level low. Grace is a true professional, and her understanding of the industry and market is unparalleled. Her meticulousness in getting our homes ready for the market ensured we received the maximum exposure and interest possible. In our latest sale, our home went on the market on a Friday, and had over 30 visits over the weekend and sold by Sunday. In contrast, a very similar home nearby went on the market at the same time and had less than 10 visits as the home was not prepared or advertised properly. The little details make a big difference, and Grace definitely delivers where it counts.

We strongly recommend Grace for anyone who needs an agent to sell or buy a home!

Grace proved to be an outstanding, capable, and friendly realtor and advisor. She was highly knowledgeable about the area, the housing market, and negotiation tactics with the seller. I would definitely recommend her support to anybody interested in buying or selling property.

As first time buyers it was very important for us that we weren't pressured into doing anything and were educated on the whole process and market. After attending multiple introduction sessions with different realtor Grace stood out of all. From the first meeting she was very friendly and knowledgeable.

She was very patient with whole process and the crazy market and finally we were able to buy our first home.

I would recommend her to anyone who wants a realtor who is knowledgeable and friendly and knows the market.
