“Contact Damon Nicholas”
“I would highly recommend that anyone who is considering selling their existing home, or buying a new one, contact Damon Nicholas. I did so when I decided to sell my home and he did an outstanding job working with me from start to finish. Since it had been over fifteen years since I had last sold a home I had numerous questions and Damon answered all of them as well as explaining the current market conditions which could impact the sale of my home. He offered some suggestions to consider on how to maximize the sale potential of my home, while considering my desire to keep any ‘need to fix up’ expenses low. I felt very confident in Damon’s suggestions and decided upon several which I now know definitely made a very positive impact on the higher than I expected sale price of my home. One issue worth noting is that during the time leading up to my home being placed on the market, and the sale four days later, I was often out of the area spending time at the new home I had already purchased almost four hundred miles away. Damon and his team were very diligent in monitoring two improvements to the property which I knew definitely would be required prior to the home’s sale, and they took that burden away from me.”

“[Haley McBryan] went above and beyond”
“Haley McBryan recently helped us find a rental property in a crazy market. She answered texts, calls, and our wild requests until we were in our new home. She went above and beyond to help us find exactly what we wanted.”
Diane Moloney & Paige Bach
“Barbara Blumer…far and away exceeded our expectations”
“The DamonSellsHomes Team was incredibly helpful during our home selling and home buying processes! They were in constant communication, quick to send listings, provided honest feedback about our listing as well as those we were looking to purchase, and were overall great to work with! Our realtor was Barbara Blumer, and she far and away exceeded our expectations, and was able to sell our home for almost $50k over asking price, while getting us a fantastic deal on our new home. Would recommend her to anyone looking in the area!”
Devon & Sara Kaplan
“Haley McBryan…Thank you for the great service!”
“I had a great experience working with Haley McBryan on buying my first home. She provided quick turnaround and was very responsive when minutes mattered. With her help, I was able to buy my first house after only the 2nd offer. I would definitely return as a client again in the future. Thank you for the great service!”

“Ryan [Nicholas’] projections and strategy….were correct”
“When we decided to sell our home, Ryan and The DamonSellsHomes Team were one of the three finalists for our realtor search. I asked all three companies several questions regarding their team’s sale experience, how many property closures the team had over the last 18 months, and what was their average sale to list price ration. Ryan was the first one to provide a response to all my questions. Furthermore, Ryan was the only one to provide historical documentation showing the numbers that prove his company’s track record for home sales. That was the deciding factor for my family choosing Ryan and The DamonSellsHomes Team. We scheduled the initial meeting with Ryan and The DamonSellsHomes Team. The meeting was very informative. During the meeting Ryan provided the listing price for our home and Ryan also provided market data that supported the pricing strategy for our home. We walked through the home and Ryan provided suggestions prior to the arrival of their staging team. The staging team was very nice and provided valuable advice to ensure we staged our home in the most buyer friendly manner possible. The picture and video team were scheduled shortly after and the process was seamless. My family was very impressed with the pictures and the job done by the staging team. My family couldn’t believe that was our home in the photos. We listed and sold our home in 30 days. Ryan’s projections and strategy for the listing price for our home were correct and all offers we received favored our listing pricing. This was by far the best experience we have ever had with a realty company. Ryan kept my family informed at every turn and ensured we had the right information at every turn during the entire process. Ryan even made time to show up to the closing with us. That is the first time a realtor has ever been present at a closing with us. Ryan even recommended a realtor connected with Coldwell Banker Realty at our new location. So far, our new home search in our new location is already off to a great start, thanks to Ryan. Thank you Ryan for all of your continued assistance.”

“Damon was absolutely the right choice”
“We knew we needed an aggressive realtor in a hot market and Damon and The DamonSellsHomes Team delivered exceptional responsiveness, day or night, to get a house fast so we could get the kids in school before the school year started. Damon was absolutely the right choice.”
Paul & Annya Soucy
“Damon and his team were excellent”
“Damon and his team were excellent in every aspect of our home sale process. From insightful advice and how to declutter and down size our belongings to wonderful handyman services to sprucing up areas that needed sprucing. The photographer they used to highlight our listing was very talented and his perspective and lighting maximized the attractiveness of our house online. Damon’s team did such an excellent job we had multiple offers after the first weekend on the market. We are so happy with Damon’s negotiating skills that we were able to quickly consummate a binding contract above the list price. We highly recommend Damon, Josie [Barondess], Ryan [Nicholas] and the rest of The DamonSellsHomes Team if you are looking for honest, straightforward advice about selling your home. They are fantastic.”
Steve & Mary McMurrer
“I highly recommend Barbara Blumer”
“To summarize the experience, my wife and I both agree that a 10/10 would be our score. This was our first home and we threw a lot of requirements that seemed to be ever changing with every house we saw online or in person. To our surprise, within the 3rd house tour and our 2nd offer on a property we got our dream starter home. A Quaint townhouse within a great school district, under our budget, and we were able to move quickly. This might be the perfect scenario with the market of the summer of 2021, but everything fell into place and we won the offer. Regarding Barbara’s professionalism, her knowledge and experience within the NOVA market was very helpful. Also as a first time home buyer she was extremely responsive for sometimes silly questions that I asked due to never purchasing a house before. She listened to my questions and our requirements and followed through. She walked us through the paperwork in advance and explained everything to us and she was even at the closing. I highly recommend Barbara Blumer. Every day I mention to my wife that I love the house more and more.”
Blake Yanick & Fannie Toledo
“Ryan [Nicholas]…..responsive, knowledgeable, and easy to work with”
"When I decided to sell my house I talked to a close friend who had sold his the year before and he recommended Ryan [Nicholas] and [The DamonSellsHomes Team]. He had a great experience so I thought I’d give them a try. The results were just fantastic. Ryan Walked us through every step of the process from preparing our house for sale, defining the best sales strategy, working with buyers’ agents during the offer process, negotiating in our best interest, and providing his recommendations all the way up to and through closing. The bottom line we sold for way more than we expected and I know it was due in large part to Ryan’s real estate expertise and sales skills. I highly recommend Ryan and the whole team if you’re planning to sell your home. You’ll not find a more responsive, knowledgeable, and easy to work with agent in the DC area. The results speak for themselves."
Pete Briar & Peggy Murray-Briar
“Damon listened to our needs”
“Damon and his team provided outstanding service from our first call through the closing of our home. When we decided to move from our home of 34 years, our first and only call was to Damon. He was very familiar with our neighborhood and the model of our home. He listened to our needs and guided us on preparing our house for staging, presented us with options for the timing of our listing, and setting a competitive listing price. His negotiations on the sales contract exceeded our expectations. Throughout the process, Damon and his team were very responsive in promptly answering our phone calls, text messages, and email correspondence. It was a very stress-free experience from beginning to end. We highly recommend The DamonSellsHomes Team.”
Sam & Sue Sunukjian
“Barbara Blumer asked the questions we never thought to ask”
“Barbara Blumer, there are not enough words to express the gratitude I have for this woman. She truly understood what we were looking for and stuck with us and reassured us our new home was out there. Her patience knows no bounds, any time of day or night I could contact her and she would respond without hesitation. This is our second home and she educated us unlike our previous realtor (not saying they were bad) we just had no idea how much to consider until Barbara educated us. She asked the questions we never thought to ask and went out of her way for answers. I greatly respect this woman for her tenacity, kindness, generosity, honesty and transparency. I have and will continue to recommend her to everyone. She will go to bat for you and get you to CLOSE!!!!!"
Esteban & Christina Beltran
“Damon is committed to achieve his clients’ goals”
“Damon Nicholas is a very well-known successful realtor in our Community. His outstanding service, knowledge of the real estate market and hard work is what sold our home. We can’t tell you the number of times he came by to check on work we were having done and often brought small touches to help stage the home. He took on the total responsibility of gaining approval from the homeowners association. What a bonus that was! Damon is an excellent salesman and he is committed to achieve his clients’ goals. We are so pleased with our sales price and how smooth this was. Damon gives 110% to his clients!”
Michael & Mary Lawrence
“Barbara made the process seamless and easy”
“Barbara Blumer did an excellent job in supporting me and my husband in the sale of our long time home. It was a difficult decision to decide to sell our home but Barbara made the process seamless and easy. She even arranged for the closing to be done in our home due to the mobility issues of my husband. I would highly recommend using The DamonSellsHomes Team.”
Gerald & Alice Gustafson
“Josie [Barondess]’s expertise in real estate was evident”
“Working with Josie was a great experience. Her expertise in real estate was evident as she presented options along the way that have worked for her clients over the years. She provided SEVERAL excellent contractors that provided me quick upgrades and additions to get my home ready to sell. Her suggestions about staging and her guidance in pricing and negotiating led to a sale $25k above list price! Josie also helped me find a rental home and worked with the rental company to make my rental experience smooth. I would highly recommend Josie and The DamonSellsHomes Team to anyone looking to buy, rent and/or sell a home.”

"[We] thank Ryan [Nicholas] and your team, once again, for taking good care of Davey and Brenna this year - what a great house it looks to be! (Hopefully we can travel this year to come see it!)"
Eileen & Dave Hosie
"Barbara Blumer did not disappoint"
"My wife and I found [The DamonSellsHomes Team] via HomeLight, a new website from Google that only IDs the top 2% of all realtors in any given area; these are folks who sell homes the fastest and at the highest possible price. Our realtor was Barbara Blumer, and she did not disappoint! I am personally convinced we sold our house for the highest possible price, and it was her skill and instinct on how to price the house in the best possible way, after over a month of staging and house prepping, that made it all possible. Her team also did a superb job with online marketing and photos, absolutely maximizing our home's potential. Thanks to her we got the money we needed to buy our dream house out west, and we would surely recommend her and [The DamonSellsHomes Team] to anyone - she is a real star!"
Bob & Cathy Tate
"Ryan [Nicholas] definitely prides himself on going the extra mile"
Ryan is a Fraternity brother of mine from UVA and was highly recommended to me by a bunch of my buddies. From the get go, Ryan was incredibly professional and transparent. Seeing that this was my first home purchase, I was very nervous and all around anxious. Ryan was asking questions, making observations and talking to the agents about things I never would have considered to ask. I immediately knew that I was in good hands. Not only that, but Ryan definitely prides himself on going the extra mile, and I can assure everybody that he does nothing but that, I thank you for all of your help. I could not have done this without your, no questions asked. I would recommend Ryan to anybody looking for a house/condo/etc, whether it be your first or more. You will be taken care of and instantly feel comfortable."
Steve Livick
"Ryan [Nicholas]...was able to give us strategies that ultimately helped us buy our dream home"
"Ryan was a pleasure to work with. He was so helpful throughout the entire process, ensuring we were well educated on the process, as we were first-time home buyers. He explained everything thoroughly and built our trust early! He invested so much time in the process, and went above and beyond to help us along the way. We were involved in a multiple offer situation, and he was able to give us strategies that ultimately helped us buy our dream home!! I cannot recommend Ryan enough."
Paige Cassell
"Damon [Nicholas] and his entire team were excellent to work with"
"We recently sold our house in Little Rocky Run using Damon Nicholas as our Realtor. Damon and his entire team were excellent to work with and provided great service. We were amazed that we got multiple offers in 24 hours in the middle of a global pandemic. Clearly the house was priced correctly. They were there every step of the way and were always responsive to anything that came up. I wouldn't hesitate to use Damon and his team again."
Roger & Chris Starr
"The details matter, integrity matters. Ryan [Nicholas] is that kind of realtor."
"Ryan Nicholas helped us sell our previous home and buy our current home in March-April 2020. His help was invaluable. I now consider him a valued business partner, voice of counsel in my personal real estate and investment real estate business activities. Our home hit the market literally the week that all Fairfax County schools shut down in March 2020. I was very nervous at that point but he calmly walked with us through it and expertly negotiated through a multiple offer situation to get the MAXIMUM value out of our home. Through the beginning, middle, and now during the global pandemic of 2020 he has helped my wife and I navigate a gazillion complicated challenges associated with moving a family of 5 in the highly active NOVA real estate market. He is one of the hardest working people I know who will be consistently on point, on time, and consistently on your side to help you find a great home. I normally don't write reviews in general for people, but with Ryan I can't recommend him highly enough. The details matter, integrity matters. Ryan is that kind of realtor."
John & Rachel Lavoie
"Steve Fred....was there through every twist and turn"
"Steve Fred with DamonSellsHomes is a smart, professional, experienced, attentive realtor. I could NOT have sold my condo DURING COVID-19 (!) without him. He was there for me through every twist and turn and was ALWAYS responsive and available, even on evenings and weekends...and always with a glad heart and a sense of humor. I HIGHLY recommend him and am so grateful to him and the team."
Benita Koman
"Ryan has a tenacity for delivering unparalleled service"
Ryan & The The DamonSellsHomes Team have a phenomenal reputation that precedes them. Not only have I known the Nicholas family for years, but they were also highly recommended by two good friends that had just purchased their first home with Ryan's assistance. They described his thoroughness, professionalism, and genuine interest in finding his clients, not just a home, but the RIGHT home. I sent Ryan a message and in less than 24-hours, he replied. From the first phone call to the moment I signed the final papers making me a first time home owner, the absolute easiest and best decision I have ever made was choosing The DamonSellsHomes Team, and specifically Ryan Nicholas, to represent me in my search for a home. Ryan has a tenacity for delivering unparalleled service and to say he goes the extra mile is an understatement. Due to my career, I spend a great deal of time traveling - which is usually a nightmare for someone who is trying to simultaneously search for a home. However, working with Ryan made the entire process a breeze, and I felt great traveling knowing I had such a reliable professional working hard on my behalf back home. Communication was always swift, demeanor was always friendly, local knowledge was exemplary, and his negotiating skills were beyond impressive. Without any hesitation, I would use Ryan again for my next home. In fact, I have already recommended him to a few of my close friends. Ryan and his team set a gold standard, and I am truly appreciative for all the work they put in on my behalf. Although I primarily worked with Ryan directly, I had the resources, expertise, and market experience of the entire DamonSellsHomes Team behind me. They immediately make you feel like family, and that sets them miles apart from the rest. If you're serious about buying/selling a home, rest assured that you would be in the best hands! Thanks again, Ryan."
Samer Abdallah
"Damon walked us through everything"
"The entire process went very smoothly. Damon walked us through everything and was always available for questions/concerns. His team did a great job from getting ready for the showing to various inspections and client walk-throughs. Closing was clean and straight forward. I would definitely recommend Damon and his team."
Pete & Eileen Sleight
"I can't say enough positive things about Barbara Blumer"
"From start to finish, Barbara Blumer with The DamonSellsHomes Team exceeded our expectations. She was detail-oriented from the beginning. She explained to us exactly what we needed to do to get our house ready to sell. She gave us contractors who were timely and inexpensive and they got our house ready to sell in one week. She even met contractors at our home when necessary. She priced our home at the perfect price to include people who would search in two different price ranges, and as a result, we had dozens of people view our home. In the listing, she stated a deadline for contracts, and sure enough, we had 4 offers by the deadline, 3 of which were for significantly more than what we listed. We ended up buying our new home for less than listing price and selling our home for $30k more than listing, so it was a win-win! I can't say enough positive things about Barbara Blumer!"
Daren & Nishi Langhorne
"All I can say is excellent job!"
"Every aspect of the process of selling my home went well! A member of Damon's team gave me advice in the beginning, on how to spruce up the house and grounds, and brought in a professional photographer once the house was ready to show. The client visits went well, and we had a couple of offers in the first 24 hours. All my questions and concerns were answered, and was almost always able to reach Damon right away. All I can say is excellent job!"
Hijerto
"...hire amazing talent like Ryan"
"I reached out to Ryan right before Thanksgiving because I needed some urgent help with getting a realtor's assessment of my home value and comparing it with homes that have sold recently. I used to think 'what do I need a Realtor for? I've got Zillow and Redfin'. Ryan answered that question pretty quickly. In fact, in a matter of hours (remember this is Thanksgiving week!), he pulled a bunch of reports together for me but more importantly, synthesized all the information in a nice, easy to read packet that laid out a clear case for the home's value based on a whole list of factors and variables. Zillow and Redfin are great for browsing, but when you want to really understand the market, hire amazing talent like Ryan."
Tim Lo
"Steve Fred...has a clear understanding of what the seller has to do"
"Steve Fred sold our condo in a few days and bid the price up. He has ideas about what to spend money doing to get a property ready for listing, and also things not to spend money on, because they wouldn't bring more net profit for the seller. He is 'hands on' with the property, painting this or removing that to enhance the sell-ability. He wants to do the necessary things to move the property and gain net profit. He also has a clear understanding of what the seller has to do and is generous and thoughtful about his advice. Steve also helped us rent our Reston property several times over the years. He is discerning and methodical in his approach to renting. We love him. He has been wonderful to work with."
Dacy Boyd
"Damon was very thorough"
"We worked with Damon five years ago to sell a house. When we knew we were moving back to the Northern Virginia area we immediately contacted him again because of his professionalism, thoughtfulness and expertise in selling our previous house. We were unsure of where we wanted to settle since we have kids living in Winchester and Centreville. Damon was very thorough in giving us our choices, explaining the pros and cons of different areas (i.e. commute, retail, housing values, and such) but the thing I think I appreciated the most was his patience. We looked at MANY houses and finally settled on the perfect house for us."
Jim & Terri Bonnema
"Josie [Barondess] made the entire process a breeze!"
"My wife and I bought our first home with Josie Barondess. Home buying can seem daunting, especially to a first time home buyer - but Josie made the entire process a breeze! She was very patient with us and informative as we had many questions. I really felt like we had a partner who was invested in our best interests. She worked with us to find the perfect home in a perfect location AND for a better price than we thought we could get! I really couldn't recommend buying a house through Josie Barondess any more! If you're thinking about buying a home, CALL JOSIE!"
Leroy & Sarah Doubleday
"Ryan helped find the buyer"
"Ryan and the entire DamonSellsHomes Team are fantastic. I had worked with them on the sale of a previous rental home in the Fairfax Station area and when it came to selling my home of 28 years in the Clifton area, I did not hesitate to contact them. They helped me prepare the home for sale and then did work to advertise my home by mailings, phone calls and the internet. They came out twice to do photo shoots of the house. My home was unique and required just the right person to buy it. Ryan helped find the buyer and then worked with me to get all the inspections done (being there when I could not) and getting the required repairs done (again being there when I could not). Ryan also helped me to find a new place to rent. Ryan or his Dad (Damon) were patient in answering all my questions along the way. They were always prompt in replying to all questions. I highly recommend Ryan in particular and the entire DamonSellsHomes Team."
Mike Bollen
"We highly recommend Damon Nicholas as your realty professional"
"We hired Damon Nicholas and he sold our home in 5 days. We had our home listed with another firm and it languished for 41 days with no more than 5 showings. They overpriced our home from the start in spite of our concerns. They assured us we were not overpriced. We contacted Damon who met with us and we had a very frank discussion. We were on the same page about the value of the home and quickly decided to fire the other firm and move forward with Damon. From day one, he was profession[al], attentive, and communicative. From the start to finish we were fully informed of all progress as we moved forward to settlement. We highly recommend Damon Nicholas as your realty professional."
Judi Fike & Elliott Wimberly
"With Ryan...everything was so easy"
"Ryan and the rest of The DamonSellsHomes Team are beyond phenomenal. Before purchasing our condo, some friends had said buying a home was one of the most stressful experiences. With Ryan, we could not have had a more opposite experience. EVERYTHING was so easy. He helped us out every step of the way, explained everything, and was always there when we needed him. If you're ever looking to buy, look no further than this team. You will not regret it."
Iv Neov & Alison Liggett
"Damon and his team were top flight professionals every step of the way!"
Richard Wang, Realtor
"....could not have had a better experience working with Barbara"
"We were very nervous about buying our first house, but could not have had a better experience working with Barbara [Blumer]. She was always there to answer our (many) questions throughout the process and went above and beyond in fining us the right home. She recommended the property we bought to us and we are so thankful for her advice and recommendation. We also worked with Josie [Barondess] as the seller, which allowed us to have a seamless and trustworthy communication. I would highly recommend working with this team!"
Cameron & Kaitlin Sheppard
"I have worked with Damon [Nicholas] on real estate inspections for resale. He is a pleasure to work with."
Rick Aits, A & A Septic Repair Service, LLC
"Ryan made buying our first home a wonderful experience."
"We were referred to Ryan Nicholas by a family friend and we are incredibly grateful. We were new to the home buying process but Ryan was very helpful, knowledgeable and patient. We would send him a few listings and by the next morning he would already have appointments set up! Again, he remained patient and gave us some great advice through it all. When we finally found the home that we fell in love with, Ryan worked hard and diligently to get our offer in. He did a phenomenal job making our offer stand out and getting it accepted in such a competitive market. The rest of the process was a breeze thanks to Ryan and his team. They truly had our best interest at heart. From start to finish, Ryan made buying our first home a wonderful experience. Not only was he a blast to work with, but he went above and beyond to help us find our dream home! We HIGHLY recommend hiring this amazing team!"
Jordan & Israa Leibrand
"Damon was spot on in his pricing of our home"
"I really like Damon's professionalism and knowledge about the local neighborhood and how he used a team approach to market our home. The assistance from others on his team with setting up the house and photographing it were very good. Damon was also spot on in his pricing of our home and giving us a good estimate of when he would get it sold. All in all, we were pleased with the process and the timing of the sale could not have worked out any better!"
Steve & Vicky Spencer
"Barbara [Blumer] was by my side every step of the way"
"I worked with Barbara Blumer and The DamonSellsHomes Team of Coldwell Banker, selling my home and buying a new home that ended up taking a year to build. The process was long and at times tedious as there was so much to juggle. Barbara, with her amazing expertise, was by my side every step of the way. She was knowledgeable, personable, and above all, very responsive about anything and everything I needed help with along the way. Frequently anticipating my need before I even knew it. She has contacts in every area of home maintenance and all her recommendations were excellent! I could never have gotten through the more than year long journey to my beautiful new home with Barbara. She is kind, generous and gracious, and knows her business inside and out. You could not be in better hands."
Nancy
"Ryan is great"
"We just worked with Ryan [Nicholas] on the purchase of our home in Fairfax Station - he was awesome! We met Ryan at an open house and he patiently sat through my rant on why the kitchen in that house was terrible, LOL. Then we asked him to work with us and he still agreed! He was understanding of our wants for the house in terms of location and schools and always respectful of the budget we set. Very responsive and personable. Ryan is great!"
Amanda Wedige
"Damon [Nicholas] knows what he is doing"
"Damon listened to my needs and offered a strong selling plan. His listing with professional pictures, descriptions and layout was amazing. He did not push for remodeling bedrooms, bathrooms, carpets, wood flooring or kitchen cabinets/counter tops...he accepted what I had and advertised to highlight the outstanding points....not ask for something I did not have. He emphasized the strong features of secluded wooded setting off the main street and a full length multi-tier deck to enjoy the setting in privacy. He professionally handled challenging questions from the buyer and presented my answers in clear terms. He facilitated a fast and easy closing to my satisfaction. He knows what he is doing."
Hurrol Goodwin
"Ryan guided us through"
"Ryan helped me and my husband find and buy our first home, which turned out to be beyond what we even thought we wanted! We were not sure of how the buying process really worked but Ryan was so patient, fun and understanding of our needs. He took his time to know us and show us properties that met our wishes. Looking at houses was fun and we were truly amazed and saw Ryan's true super skills after our offer was accepted. He works with this amazing team of people that all work together for your best interest. He guided us through all the inspections and paperwork, we felt secure and confident the entire time. Every service provider that he recommended was outstanding. It just felt like these people were in our corner and they were all working for our best benefit. We both enjoyed Ryan's work and his knowledge and would recommend him to any first time home buyers!"
Karla & Mark Wasilko
"Damon helped alleviate concerns"
"Damon was helpful in finding properties. If a scheduled house was taken up before it could be seen, he'd have another one ready to go. He helped alleviate concerns and was knowledgeable in helping interpret all the terminology on closing day."
John Wen
"Steve Fred is an outstanding agent on Damon's team"
"We are returning clients. It is the second house we bought with this team and both experiences were just outstanding! This team is highly knowledgeable, professional, responsive and flexible. We will be back again if and when we plan to buy or sell. There's no need to look around, we have found the perfect team! A special thank you to Steve Fred, an outstanding agent on Damon's team."
Elena & Mike Angell
"Barbara [Blumer] genuinely cares about her clients"
"We have bought two homes, and sold one, with Barbara. She has been amazing throughout the process in all cases. She brings a level of expertise and knowledge of the area that makes the process so much easier and less stressful. Barbara is very personable and genuinely cares about her clients - we feel she is more than a realtor to our family. We recently bought our second home with Barbara, after also working with her to sell a home. She was able to help get our offer accepted in a very competitive situation, and I don't know how we could have done it without her. When selling our previous home recently, we considered using Redfin to maximize our return to reinvest into a new home. However, upon meeting with Barbara and the team, we instantly remembered why they are the best, and ended up getting significantly more from the sale than Redfin even thought possible. We highly recommend Barbara, and there is no question that she is our go-to for any and all future real estate needs."
Michael Pizzuto & Caryn Pinto
"Damon went above and beyond"
"Damon far exceeded my expectations in helping to sell my home. He was a full partner through the entire process, which included overseeing and coordinating contracts. He went above and beyond, over and over. I would *highly* recommend Damon if you're selling a home. Not a doubt in my mind that he'll get the job done."
Caryn Fox
"Barbara Blumer will go the extra mile"
"Damon Nicholas & [The DamonSellsHomes Team] are outstanding and I would not list/buy with anyone else. Barbara Blumer has been my agent for over 10 years and combines expert knowledge of the market and home buying/selling process with true care, understanding and friendship. She wants you to be happy and get the most for your time and money and will go the (many) extra miles to make sure you're satisfied with your transaction. Can't recommend them highly enough."
Christian Pelusi
"Damon and his team are awesome!"
[We] listed our house in Little Rocky Run, had two offers in two days and a ratified contract on the third day! Closed a month later. Damon and his team are awesome!"
Rob & Terri Pond
"Josie [Barondess] made the experience easy"
The team was very professional throughout our entire process. Josie was our agent, and helped us prepare our home for sale. She made the experience easy. Our home sold in one week! I would highly recommend The DamonSellsHomes Team to sell your home."
Michael & Rosemarie Allocco
"Steve Fred made us feel like we were heard"
"We worked with Steve Fred, and he was an incredibly helpful realtor. He focuses on one client at a time, making us feel like we were heard and unbelievably important. He was able to answer all of our questions during the home buying process (particularly important because we were first time buyers) and listened to all of our concerns during the viewing process. Steve even had recommendations for everything when we were done buying, including a contractor and we could not be happier with the entire process. We highly recommend Steve if you are lucky enough to work with him!"
Alexandra & Valentin Polyakov
"Barbara Blumer gave her all and was with us every step of the way"
"We worked with Barbara Blumer on both the sale of our home as well as the purchase of a home in Dominion Valley that involved new construction. Each transaction came with it's own challenges in which it was especially helpful to work with someone with Barbara's experience and expertise. Our home took a bit longer to sell given it's proximity to a cemetery and busy road, but Barbara gave her all and regularly did open houses and employed a number of marketing strategies to help get it sold. While I know we weren't her only client, given her regular communication with us, it felt that way. In terms of the new home, it was great that Barbara was already familiar with the builder and was able to provide guidance. She even came with us to the design center and provided some valuable insight regarding some of the options that were available. There were a lot of moving parts involved in getting our home sold in time to close on the new house, but Barbara was with us every step of the way and got the job done. After working with her, I would feel comfortable recommending Barbara to BOTH buyers and sellers. I'd also like to give some kudos to the other team members that also helped throughout this process, as The DamonSellsHomes Team truly acts as a team. Thank you for help getting us to the finish line. We love our new home!"
Mercedes & Ed Taylor
"Damon Nicholas sold our home in less than two weeks"
"We were very pleased with every aspect of our experience with Damon Nicholas & The DamonSellsHomes Team. They did a great job for us and we sold our home in less than two weeks for the price we were asking. The whole process from listing to closing was six weeks and we couldn't be happier. We would recommend them to anyone interested in selling their home."
George & Margaret Hellmuth
"Steve Fred...went above and beyond"
"Steve Fred listed our home and worked closely with us through the process. His recommendations for readying the property and some personal touches of his own made the property glow. His knowledge of the market was superior and he made the sale a seamless one. We recommend The DamonSellsHomes Team"
Gene & Debra Sockman
"Ryan Nicholas advised us very well"
"We loved working with Ryan to buy our first home. He is very knowledgeable about the home-buying process and was patient with us as we peppered him with rookie questions. Within the first couple of showings, he picked up on what we liked and made spot-on recommendations of additional listings to consider. Ryan advised us very well in negotiation, helping us win a competitive bidding process for a house that we loved without overpaying. He was on the phone with us late into the night from his vacation until the offer was accepted. On top of his professional skill, Ryan is funny and kind, making the marathon days of showings enjoyable."

"Damon was knowledgeable and professional"

"Ryan Nicholas jumped right into action"
"Ryan Nicholas was extremely engaged in our purchase. We have a very unique, time critical situation, and he jumped right into action and helped us find and purchase a home in a tight timeline. His timely responses, and ability to stay involved at all hours of the day, made a big difference in our particular situation. He did a terrific job."
David & Cheryl Mahoney
"Barbara provided expertise and frank advice"
"Barbara helped us achieve a full value offer on our home on a very aggressive timeline. She provided us with expertise and frank advice on what it would take to sell our home on the timeline we needed. I can't think of a better partner than Barbara Blumer!"
David & Holly McMorries
"Ryan helped us navigate complicated contracts"
"The process of selling our first home and buying another seemed very daunting, we had to sell in order to buy. This scenario in such a competitive real estate environment can be very stressful and tricky to navigate. Ryan assured us that it would all work out and he was absolutely right. He made the process so smooth for us and made sure we understood every step of the process. He got us above asking price for our home and put us in the best possible situation when putting in an offer on our new home. I was one of those people that winced at the thought of forking over money out of our profit to pay for the real estate agent fees, trust me when I tell you it is incredibly worth it! Ryan worked so hard for us and saved us tons of time, money and headache. He is a very skilled negotiator, the perfect combo of professional, kind, and when necessary, tough! He will go to bat for you. Ryan helped us navigate complicated contracts, facilitate a major repair on the new house, he was even checking in on-site to make sure the fix was coming along as it should. Ryan and The DamonSellsHomes Team are wonderful and knowledgeable. They go above and beyond."
Maurice & Michelle Isaac
"Barbara guided us though...negotiating a great deal"
"Our process was quick, we were not really looking at purchasing a new home. However, we found an open house one weekend and determined very quickly the home met all of our expectations. We called Barbara on a Sunday evening, by the time we met with her on Monday she had already been to the new home and pulled comps on the surrounding area. Needless to say we were very impressed with her thoroughness and responsiveness to our initial request. Within weeks Barbara guided us through putting our current home on the market and negotiating a great deal on the new home. We closed on both properties within a week of one another. All went down without any drama for happy buyers and sellers. A win-win for everyone!"
Doug & Michelle Peterson
"Absolutely the best real estate team"
"Absolutely the best real estate team in NoVa. Superior service, knowledge of the market and how to search and buy a home, and most importantly their attention to detail for things that might easily be overlooked while buying a home."
Ryan Kapsak
"Barbara is an agent that stands apart from others"
"The entire home sale process was explained and thoroughly executed. Barbara Blumer was beyond wonderful with every aspect of the process. We wondered if she sleeps at all because regardless of how many listings she probably had this spring, we felt like we were her only client and she worked extremely hard every step along the way. We are so grateful for her, Barbara is an agent that stands apart from others. She followed through with everything and then some to help make sure everything was in order. We were utterly shocked at the level of attention we received. Barbara deserves recognition at every corner! She is a kingpin in representing Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage and deserves the best. We can't thank her enough."
Robert & Cassie Blumer

Joseph & Janice Caramanica
"Barbara knew how to properly price my parent's home"
Barbara gave me and my family great guidance for prepping the home and referred contractors she had worked with in the past. She knew how to properly price my parent's home and the house was only on the market for a few days before getting multiple offers. Barbara was always quick to respond to our calls and questions. She helped me through the contract process and guided me with valuable advice. I appreciate all her efforts and support, from beginning to end."
Karen Irwin
"Damon and his team....were responsive, advocated on our behalf"
"We lived in our Clifton home for 22 years and had many opportunities to see Realtors in action and hear the stories that accompanied buying and selling in our area. We chose carefully when it was time for us to enter the market. We couldn't be happier with the expertise, professionalism, and kindness that Damon and his team brought to the experience. They were responsive, advocated on our behalf, and their advice was backed by many years of experience. We highly recommend this team to anyone who is considering either buying or selling."
Ray & Pat Kobyra
"Barbara Blumer did a fantastic job"
"Barbara did a fantastic job from start to finish, made exactly the right recommendations to get the home ready for sale. Barbara hung with us as we were on the other side of the country when our home was on the market and closed. She made it as easy as if we were still in the area."
David & Holly McMorries
"Josie Barondess...certainly knows the local market"
"Josie Barondess skillfully advised me in assessing, preparing and selling my house. She was consistently helpful, knowledgeable and supportive, and never pressured. She's experienced and certainly knows the local market. I highly recommend her!"
Barbara Dau
"Damon & his team...deliver superb customer experience"
"Damon and his team were a tremendous help during our home buying process. They worked with us for three months to find the perfect home. Damon's professionalism and patience certainly deserve recognition. His administrative support team is equally exceptional and responsive. Due to our friends' outstanding experience, we specifically requested Damon by name as our realtor. Damon Nicholas & his team are extremely competent at what they do and by far deliver superb customer experience!"
Ayse & Sefk Alexander
"Barbara is incredible, kind and caring"
"They have perfected the home selling process. If you are selling your home please call them. After two previous previous agents, I was discouraged about the sale of my home. I reached out to Damon and Barbara and my house sold in 5 days, over asking price. I tell everybody I know about them. They are the best at what they do. The support I have received is amazing. Barbara is incredible, kind, caring and has been there every step of the way. It was like she was selling her own home. I am so grateful and honored to have worked with such a professional, customer service orientated team. The pictures were incredible, the staging advice was spot on, the emotional support, the prompt follow up calls to me. I felt very taken care of and very supported. The office staff and Josie were also very helpful and supportive. I am very grateful for the wonderful experience and with The DamonSellsHomes Team much success."
Anne Mullen
"Damon went above and beyond"
"We received excellent service from Damon and his team in selling our house and finding our new home. He helped us determine what we needed to do to get ready to sell, recommended a contractor for the work, and was very responsive throughout the entire process. We also worked with Josie, Ryan and Kris - each having a vital role in the process - teamwork! He went above and beyond in helping us find our new home as we were looking outside of the immediate area. He never complained as we had him driving far and often."
Scott & Donna Bargas
"The DamonSellsHomes Team literally made my dream come true. They helped me sell my townhome in the Northern Virginia area with 16 offers within 24 hours of listing, and an offer accepted above asking price. They were patient with all of my questions, extremely knowledgeable about the NOVA area, and they made selling my home stress-free. They also helped us find our forever home despite us having targeted one specific neighborhood without a lot of options. They worked relentlessly to help my family find the perfect home, negotiated the offer, and made the buying process seamless as well. I hugged everyone on their team at settlement both when selling our house and buying our new house and can't thank them enough. They care, they work hard, and they stood by me throughout the process. I'd never use another team"
Ashley Schimmel
"Steve Fred found a home for us very quickly"
"We had a wonderful experience with Steve Fred of The DamonSellsHomes Team. He found a home for us very quickly, on the low end of our price range, and he helped negotiate a solid deal. The support team at his office was also top notch. Strongly recommend."
Stephen & DD Spivey
"Josie Barondess...was very familiar with our neighborhood"
"We listed our home with Josie Barondess, who was very familiar with our neighborhood. Every aspect of the transaction was what we expected. We received an offer on our home the same day it was listed. I would HIGHLY recommend Josie and The DamonSellsHomes Team.
Pam & Dave Kearns
"Ryan was always 100% invested in our success"
"Ryan's total dedication to getting us in the perfect home for the right price exceeded our already lofty expectations. Whether it was showing us dozens of listings when we didn't even know yet what we were looking for, or writing an offer at 2AM to jump on a place, or negotiating aggressively with the seller, Ryan was always 100% invested in our success. He had the knowledge and intuition to know when a place was overpriced, a hot property likely to fly off the market or somewhere in between. Ultimately, his combination of work ethic and expertise landed us an AMAZING place exactly where we wanted to live and within our budge. Most important for us, as first time home buyers, was how Ryan was able to guide us through the entire process from start to finish. I cannot imagine going through such a stressful and high-stakes experience with anyone else. Ryan not only excelled as an agent, but assisted with every other portion of the process, from getting a loan, to recommending contractors to reading over all the documentation we were signing as a second pair of experienced eyes to make sure there was nothing out of whack. Ultimately, this attention to detail saved us hundreds of dollars because he found a contradiction in the HOA documents about move-in fess that no one else had caught EVER in the history of the development, and then didn't let them off the hook trying to charge us what they'd erroneously been charging everyone else. To say we 'recommend' Ryan (and Damon's team) would be a gross understatement. As long as we live in Virginia we will never purchase or sell a place without using Ryan, and we suggest in the strongest terms that you do the same."
Mike & Kathleen Camarda
"DamonSellsHomes was beyond impressive"
"The BEST selling experience we could have ever imagined. The professional team at DamonSellsHomes was beyond impressive and brought skills to the table that we now see resulted in the LESS THAN 24 HOUR SALE of our home. The preparation and attention to details we received from DamonSellsHomes was a 20 on a scale of 1 ro 10. I would recommend this group in a heartbeat!"
Ron & Gwen Adams
"Damon, It was a pleasure to work with you and your staff on the Union Ridge property!"
Dana Jackins, agent
"Steve is appreciated for his honesty and his client-centered focus"

Keven & Carolyn Sievers
"Damon and Josie did a very good job"
"Damon did a great job helping us navigate through selling a home on a pipestem. He did research and was instrumental to make sure our closing went really well. Damon and Josie did a very good job helping us stage our house to put it on the market. The pictures that Damon and Josie helped arrange really helped sell our home."
Richard McEver
"Damon, Thank you very much to you and your team for all the help."
Majdi Kassir & Laith Kassir
"They care, they work hard, they stood by me....I'd never use another team"
"Barbara...carefully processed and handled"
"Our experience with The DamonSellsHomes Team was wonderful. They were professional, thorough and efficient. All the details of our home purchase were carefully processed and handled by our personal realtor, Barbara Blumer. Thanks!"
Carey & Heidi Haynes
"Josie was absolutely wonderful"
"Josie was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire experience. Helped us to select the correct time to list, update and stage the home. The text feature to allow or decline showings was perfect for our family. We had multiple offers within 4 days and sold by day 5 for over list price. Couldn't be happier with the results and the process. Highly recommend Josie and the team at DamonSellsHomes."
Josh & Meredith Piemme
"Barbara held our hand as much as we needed"
"These guys are pros. Whenever I needed info or had a question, Barbara responded to my texts or calls immediately. I have both bought and sold a house with them and found them to be the most knowledgeable team you could ask for. Barbara made sure we were comfortable with every step of the process and held our hand as much as we needed."
Eric Kolb
"Barbara...I look forward to the opportunity of working with you again"
"You were a pleasure to work with the whole transaction. This was probably my easiest transaction ever. There were literally no issues and no drama! I look forward to the opportunity of working with you again!"
JH, Listing Agent
"Ryan is extremely knowledgeable on the entire home buying process"
"We would recommend Ryan of The DamonSellsHomes Team to anyone needing a Realtor! Ryan was extremely helpful in not only helping us find our perfect home but is extremely knowledgeable on the entire home buying process. We knew we could ask Ryan questions about any aspect of the process and he would be able to provide an insightful answer. He always responded quickly too! We can't thank Ryan and the Team enough!!"
David & Brenna Hosie
"Damon is truly an expert in his field"
"Damon and his team were phenomenal in the home buying process. My husband and I were looking in the Clifton and Fairfax Station areas for greater than 1 year. Despite our numerous home requirements, Damon was patient and persistent in helping us to find the perfect home in the perfect community at an appropriate, fair price...after using his assertive negotiation skills. Damon responds quickly to emails, calls/texts and is approachable. Additionally, he and his team members are personable, passionate and professional. He is truly an expert in his field and we highly recommend him!"
Matt & Kristin Hill
"Ryan really listened to me"
Ryan and the team got my home in Fairfax Station sold before it hit the market! Everything was seamless, Ryan was there to make sure all inspections, the walk through and closing went well without a hitch. Ryan helped me find a new home in Arlington. It is hard to say what I most appreciate about working with him, but I will try. First, he really listened to me as to what I was looking for in a new home. Second, he respected the price range I was aiming for and did not push the high bracket or above. We agreed that as he got to know what was important to me, if he saw something a bit above my budget he'd show it to me. We found my lovely new home under my budget! Third, when we found my new home he negotiated a great deal, even less than the appraisal. Ryan followed through to the end with professional service and kindness. It was a pleasure working with him and the team, I recommend them without hesitation"
Kim McKnight
"Damon...I have already recommended him to several people"
"Damon is top of the line. I interviewed six Realtors in depth (minimum of two hours each) and Damon stood far above all of them. He was exceptional in communicating with me and 'reading' my needs and timelines and even understanding my goals with the reassurance that he would have them met. He not only met them, but he far exceeded them!! What a pleasure it was to work with Damon!! I have already recommended him to several people."
Carl & Evelyn Milligan
"Barbara...made our purchase go so smoothly"
"Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness (for remembering our Home Anniversary). We are very happy in our home and cannot believe it has been four years already! We are still so appreciative of all your help in making our purchase go so smoothly!"
Brenton & Constance Barbeau
"Damon you went above and beyond"
Thanks so much for bringing the buyer for my listing. You went above and beyond and it was a pleasure to work with you again. Here's to continued success!"
Priscilla Moore, Listing Agent
"Ryan was extremely knowledgeable"
"I worked with Ryan this year to help me buy my first home. He was extremely knowledgeable when it came to the entire buying process and very patient when it came to showing me homes. Ryan, as well as the rest of The DamonSellsHomes Team, is extremely professional and I would highly recommend them to anyone, first time home buyer or not!"
Jeremy Freid
"Damon....knew the market extremely well"
"Out of all the real estate specialists we interviewed, Damon offered the most targeted sales approach for our house, was honest about the pros and cons of our house, and he knew the market extremely well. He generated traffic into our residence and ensured we were competitively priced. Damon also facilitated an urgent repair to our deck that needed completion by closing. Very responsive, knowledgeable, and reliable. Damon provided solid metrics for sales and priced our home appropriately."
Claydon & Pauline Meyers
"Ryan was profession and really listened"
"Damon....is honest and fair"
"I recently had to undergo the process of short-selling my condo. It was a very arduous process and took nearly 6 months due to issues with the banks. Damon and his team (esp. Kris Smith) made the process less stressful and contacted me the minute there were any updates. Damon is not the kind of realtor that is only out for money and only willing to list properties that are easy to sell and in mint condition. He is honest and fair, and I would recommend him to anyone."
Stacey H.
"I would highly recommend this team. They were extremely responsive, explained everything clearly, and ultimately were able to help us sell our home in a short amount of time."
Justin Lepone
"Ryan always made himself available"
"Ryan helped my husband and I find our dream home. It was a pleasure working with Ryan, the whole team was so helpful, too. Josie knew our new neighborhood and Damon was accommodating to our questions and needs. We were unsure if we should contact a Realtor because they tend to be a little pushy (sorry to generalize). From the moment we met Ryan, we knew he was different. We felt as if we were working with a friend. He was always so flexible. He always made himself available. We were probably the most indecisive clients he had encountered. Ryan got to know us so well that he found our home without having us look at it, he knew it was for us. He also found it before it was put on the market, an advantage of working with such an organized and well known team. They are the IT Realtors in the area. I cannot thank you guys enough for making the whole process as easy as possible (I gave birth to our second son two weeks prior to closing). Ryan made sure my husband and I did not get too stressed, by guiding us through the dreaded paperwork. Thank you Ryan for finding our dream home. We enjoyed working with you and now we definitely see you as more than just our Realtor, but our family. Little Vinny keeps asking about Uncle Ryan. We will be referring our family and friends to you."
Vincent & Cynthia Edwards
"Barbara Blumer.....stellar experience"
"I have worked with Barbara Blumer and The DamonSellsHomes Team on four separate real estate transactions over my time in the Northern Virginia area. Each was a stellar experience (it is why I kept coming back) and I would highly recommend this team."
Kenneth Foster
"Ryan really helped us find the right community for what we were looking for"
"We found Ryan while visiting many open houses one weekend. He was the only realtor we actually considered working with that we met that day. We weren't even ready to buy a home, but he treated us with the same level of respect and time as a client ready to buy a house tomorrow. We are new to the area and he really helped us find the right community for what we were looking for. We ended up building a house, and while he didn't have to be involved or do any more at that point, he has come to every scheduled signing, construction meeting, etc. He responds to all emails from the builder he's copied on when he thinks something should be clarified. He has asked questions we never would have thought of, he's given us advice every step of the way, stood up for us when things were not being handled well by the builder, and it's obvious that he cares that we are making the right decisions for us, even it it doesn't benefit him. I honestly cannot say enough or give a high enough review for how glad we are we met him and how helpful he's been through this process. I truly believe we will have gained a friend out of all this and I would recommend him to anyone. If we ever sell our new beautiful home, he will definitely be our realtor."
Nick Grasser & Lindsay Holyfield
"Damon, Debbie, Ryan and the rest of the team....make it all possible"
"Thank you so much for the thoughtful card and Villagio gift card to commemorate the anniversary of the purchase of our home! We have been so happy in the enclave and look forward to many more years here! Thanks for helping us to make it all possible."
Carrie & Greg Mondloch
"Damon's expertise was what we needed."
"Aloha Damon, Thank you and your team for helping us find the perfect home! This chapter of our lives is one that we will always cherish and be grateful for. When we came to you we were lost in a real way. Your expertise was what we needed. You surely delivered every time. Ann is very meticulous with every aspect, yet you met her goal. [Our children] now have a place to call home."
Ann & Jose Paloschavez
"Damon's quick actions allowed us to place a contract on this house"
"Damon, Appreciate the thoughtful card [Happy Home Anniversary] Linda and I received in the mail. We are enjoying the house and remember how your quick actions allowed us to place a contract on this house. Thank you, again!! Also appreciate your thinking of me a few weeks ago regarding the Redskins tickets. Sorry I did not take you up on your offer, but thank you."
John & Linda Mokodean
"Barbara [Blumer] is fantastic."
"This team is absolutely awesome in every way. Barbara is fantastic. And Damon even came and sat down with us and walked us through the process. They sold our house in 1 day, for more than we were asking. I highly recommend them to you. You can thank me later."
Paul Gillmore
"We love our home"
"Damon, Thank you for the lovely note [Happy Home Anniversary] and gift card! We've done quite a bit to the house in the past fifteen years. We finished the basement, added a screened deck, and completed a major kitchen and first floor renovation last year. We love our home and are so grateful to you for helping us find it."
Chris & Samantha Nims
"Damon and his team provided an outstanding sales experience"
"Damon and his team provided us with an outstanding sales experience despite some trying circumstances beyond anyone's control. As a result of his team's efforts and knowledge of the market, our home was sold in less than 30 days! Furthermore, the entire team ensured the process was as seamless as possible. I am most appreciative to the entire team for their efforts!"
Bob Korman
"Barbara Blumer....demonstrates true professionalism in all she does"
"Barbara Blumer did an outstanding job helping us with both the selling and the buying processes. We had not purchased a new home in many years and she was extremely patient with us and always acted with our best interest in mind. She demonstrates true professionalism in all she does and is very knowledgeable about the market and the endless complexities of real estate transactions. She is very thorough in ensuring there are no surprises when all is said and done, and goes the extra mile to make herself and her team available and responsive every step of the way! I couldn't recommend her more highly!!
Mike & Cheryl Johnston
"Ryan (Nicholas).....representing us well throughout the negotiation process."
"I would highly recommend this team. They were outstanding in every way. Some key attributes include attention to detail, the ability to listen to their clients, promptness in responding to issues and concerns, and most importantly, representing us well throughout the negotiation process. Ryan, the realtor we worked with more closely, was excellent in every way. He was very personable and helpful throughout the process."
Darrell & Mary Campbell
"Damon....took the time to explain....how to set the best price"
"Damon and his team were absolutely fantastic to work with. He took the time to explain the entire process to us, as well as how to set the best price for our property. Josie was an absolute gem to work with. She came out to the house and made some suggestions as to how to better prepare the property prior to listing. Everything worked as we were able to list and have the property under contract within about 48 hours. I would definitely recommend Damon and his team to anyone looking to sell."
Robert Brown
Barbara Blumer's client says...."This is a great team!"
"They made the home buying process simple and easy to understand. This team also took my wants and needs into consideration when picking a property! I would highly recommend this team!"
Abby Demers
Ryan Nicholas' client says..."Excellent!"
"Excellent! Wonderful and VERY personal buying experience!! We were very grateful for their honesty and flexibility."
Mark & Kristie Meyers
"Damon's knowledge...was extremely important to us"
"We went with Damon and his team specifically for his experience and expertise in selling homes in our area. Since we were downsizing and relocating nearby, his knowledge of the real estate market in Clifton and its surrounds was extremely important to us in both selling our home and finding a new and smaller one. Damon and his entire team were responsive to our every need in this process. When we were faced with a less than responsive mortgage lender they were able to step in and get the wheels in motion and in high gear. Assistance such as this is not commonplace in the real estate world. We highly recommend Damon Nicholas and his team to anyone in the Clifton/Centreville area."
Dave & Judy Johnson
"Damon represented us....exceptionally"
"Damon Nicholas represented us through all phases of the sale exceptionally! He is extremely knowledgeable about the area he serves and really knows how to get things done."
Richard & Patricia Powers
"Ryan Nicholas was caring, honest, hard-working....a great communicator"
"This was simply the greatest Real Estate experience I've ever had in my life. Ryan Nicholas was caring, honest, hard-working, and a great communicator. I will be recommending Coldwell Banker to anyone who asks because I was absolutely blown away by Ryan's dedication and service. I cannot believe how smooth the process was and how helpful agent Ryan Nicholas was throughout the process. I got exactly what I wanted at the price I wanted, and it would've been impossible without Ryan's expertise, communication, and customer service. Absolutely the best experience I've ever had and I wish I could do more for him in return. I feel as though what Ryan has done for me is priceless, it was that incredible of an experience."
Colin Lynch
"Damon took care of...every detail"
"With me being 1800 miles away, Damon too care of literally every detail. From getting the house ready for sale, listing it, dealing with all the paperwork. It couldn't have happened without Damon. I'm so glad he was there for us."
Brian Ziman
"Barbara Blumer was the best realtor..."
"Barbara Bluer was the best realtor I could have ever asked for. She was very responsible and always on time with any meetings. I would be more than willing to recommend her to anyone for her professional expertise."
Renee Watson
"Damon listened!"
"I worked with Damon's Team in both buying my current house and selling my former house. This was my first time selling property in a very long time and Damon made it as easy as possible. He ensured I was informed on all selling courses of action but allowed me to make my own decisions at every step of the way. He had a great set of contractors who were super reasonably priced and did great work on a few things I wanted to touch up before listing the house. He definitely is a great listener. Even when he knew where the conversation was going, Damon listened to our desires and hopes. It was very refreshing! And, what's better is that he was extremely adept with several forms of communication that gave me plenty of time to read and review info before making decisions on pricing, terms, etc. Damon and his team's awesome communication skills kept us always in the know on how all facets of our sale were progressing. They did an awesome job in selling my house and I will work with them in any future endeavors! Extremely well done! I'd give them 6+ stars if I could."
John Mokodean
"Barbara [Blumer] was amazing!"
"Barbara was our agent and she was amazing! As first-time buyers, she took her time explaining the whole process to us and walked us through every step. She was honest in explaining the pros and cons to each property. She was very timely in responding to us. We couldn't have asked for a better experience in buying our first home. She was the best!
Jennifer Neimeyer
"Damon knew how to help us"
"Prior to contacting Damon about our real estate needs, I had come across him in working with the silent auction at my son's elementary school. Year after year when other community business owners would forget us, he was always willing to contribute and literally stand by his 'I live here, I love it here...' sales material. With our real estate transaction we were in a somewhat difficult and unique situation. We wanted to sell our house we had outgrown, for a larger one within the same neighborhood. Damon listened to what we wanted and literally found us the perfect house for our needs, that we put a contract on, in just a few days. For our house he was selling, his team helped us identify what it would take to sell our house and get the most money out of it (ie change a paint color here, replace the carpet in this room, etc). What impressed me most about Damon is that at every phase of the buying and selling process he knew how to help us. I am happy to call him and his family my neighbors. My comment to anyone looking for a realtor is use Damon because if anyone is going to get the job done it's him."
Susan Zimmermann
"Barbara Blumer was an exceptional agent"
"Barbara Blumer was an exceptional agent that surpassed our expectations in every way. We loved working with her. Barbara went out of her way to take such tremendously good care of us, although we initially thought we'd be looking for a home to purchase, it turned out that we needed to rent and she was so gracious about helping us with that as well."
Gregory & Miranda Lotz
"Damon...we plan to use him again"
"We recently moved, from one location inside Little Rocky Run, to another in the neighborhood. Damon and his team were incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, identifying our needs for our new house while helping us get top dollar for the house we were selling. He identified our "style" quickly and showed us the houses he thought fit what we were looking for. He was patient, kind and extremely knowledgeable of the area. We love our new house and the selling/buying process was effortless. Damon will be respectful of your time, listen to your needs and wants, and will honestly care and advocate for you. We plan to use him again the next time we need to buy or sell a home."
Richard Carey

"Barbara [Blumer] knew exactly what she was doing"
"I met Barbara Blumer at an open house in Centreville, VA. The way the house was presented to us as potential home buyers was so inviting and felt like home. From that point on we knew we wanted Barbara to sell our home. From the minute we brought her into our home, we knew she was the perfect fit for us. She gave us constructive feedback on making our current home welcoming for potential home buyers and being direct in letting us know we needed to streamline and simplify. With her help we got a contract in under a week. For our new home, she often, at our last minute request, would take us to go see homes. When we found our perfect home, she did everything in her power to make it work. She often sent us emails in the night and evening letting us know the status and things we needed to get back to her. I was extremely confident in her ability and knowledge that she knew exactly what she was doing. We recommend Barbara to everyone we know, she was such a pleasure to work with and really took all the stress away."

"We worked with Barbara Blumer when we moved to the NoVA area from South Jersey. We were relocating and had a short turn-around time on our move. Barbara actually visited a house the day it listed and took many pictures for us so that we wouldn't miss out on a possible match! She responded to our requests for information immediately and didn't hesitate to talk with realtors about any concerns we might have. Ultimately, we built a new home, and Barbara was very influential with the sales office - working to get us a better lot, lower the lot fee, and even had a closing credit! She attended all sales meetings with us, and she helped us select design elements and upgrades that added to the overall home value. Barbara was always professional, on-time, courteous, and respectful. She visited quire a few homes with us and even more while we were still out of state. She was involved throughout the entire process and understood the details of our relocation package. I would definitely recommend Barbara to future home buyers!"

"[Steve Fred] proved to be a very effective negotiator"
We would like to state how pleased we were for Steve Fred's handling of the sale of our long time residence. We hadn't sold a home in 30 years and were therefore completely reliant on his strategy. He recommended price, timed the opening sale date, and handled other Realtor tasks flawlessly. He quickly negotiated with the buyer's agent to mitigate the items brought to our attention in the inspection. We were pleased with the rapid and painless process he provided, especially with us living so far away. He proved to be a very effective negotiator on our behalf, too, not allowing any change to our selling price. He was a pleasure and highly professional throughout. We would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

I will always be thankful for the hard work and sensitivity that you and Paula put into our case.
"Also, the way that you got the Ashburn home contracted and off the market, avoiding any bidding wars, was again an excellent job.
