Reviews & Testimonials

Melinda is terrific…professional and experienced, considerate and charming! She took charge of the sale of our home and expeditiously had it ready for the market, and sold shortly after that! She surrounds herself with a team of excellence and, without exception, each team player was professional, skilled and respectful. Melinda has the experience of a successful professional with a huge portfolio but she made us feel like we were her most important client!

Selling a home that has been in our family for 55 years was a bit emotional for us. Melinda and her team did a fantastic job of taking care of everything which significantly lowered the stress level for all of us.

We didn’t have to find our own painter, handyman, roofer, HVAC company or stager as Melinda has talented and trusted contractors that take care of all of it at a reasonable price.

We found Melinda to be knowledgeable, understanding, patient and kind. Our house was under contract a week after it hit the market and had multiple offers above asking price. I’d highly recommend Melinda and her team to anyone looking for a realtor!

We recently worked with Melinda and The Estridge Group to sell a very dated family home, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. My mother-in-law had lived there for over 70 years, and the house was truly in disrepair. It hadn’t been updated in decades, and I honestly thought it would end up being a tear-down sale.

But Melinda immediately saw potential, noting the house had 'good bones' and recommending we make it move-in ready to attract buyers. Melinda and her team handled everything—from repairs and updates to choosing fixtures and finishes—all based on what appeals most to today’s buyers. We didn’t have to make any decisions ourselves, which saved us so much stress and actually made the process enjoyable.

In just six weeks, they transformed the home entirely. Despite the scope of the project, everything was handled quickly and positively, even when small issues cropped up. They also had the house inspected and fixed key issues upfront so they wouldn’t pop up during closing. Melinda turned what felt like an overwhelming challenge into a seamless, even fun, experience.

The best part? Even though the market was slow, we received two offers above asking price after just the first weekend! Melinda and her team are true professionals, and her expertise and dedication are worth every penny. I wholeheartedly recommend The Estridge Group to anyone looking for a top-notch real estate experience.

We engaged the entire Estridge Team to help sell our Maplewood-Alta Vista home in July '24. It was a very good investment. Bottom line - we were able to sell under a short timeframe, and we got a price we were very happy with. With Melinda, it is all about careful attention to every detail, keeping us transparently informed about all aspects of the sale and possible pitfalls. She knew our neighborhood like the back of her hand, and explained her strategies very clearly, There were some snags along the way, but once you invest in her team and her vision she really takes care of you in the sense of "the customer is always right, and needs to be kept happy". We would recommend Estridge Group without reservation for the fix-up, staging, and sale of your home.

Caroline was extremely supportive through out the process, answered questions in a very timely manner and thoroughly, closed on time and was even available after the settlement. As a first time home buyer, I often found myself confused, sometimes feeling like rushing and sometime getting cold feet, Caroline was a voice of reason, that helped me see things through. Highly recommend!

Melinda and her team were absolutely the best. From initial meeting to closing, she ensured we had everything we needed to sell our house. This is the third time Melinda has helped us buy or sell a home over almost 30 years and we wouldn't ever want to work with anyone else in the Washington area!

We knew that Melinda was an expert in Bethesda real estate before working with her. After working with her and Bob, we can see how her knowledge and experience shines through her advice.

She is not only very professional, but very kind and pleasant to work with. We received offers before our first open house and accepted an offer two days after listing the house.

Our home sold for more than the listing price. Very happy with our experience and highly recommend Melinda and her team at Long & Foster for your real estate needs.

Cheryl and The Estridge Group helped us find our home. We put in one offer (against many others) and they got the deal done. She helped us know how to make the most competitive offer in a tough market to buy. Afterwards, She sold our condo for a significant amount over asking! Great job on both buying and selling.

Let me preface this by saying that we knew NOTHING when we were getting prepared to sell our house in Bethesda. That said, from the moment Melinda sat in our living room with us, I knew it was going to be absolutely fine. She and her team gave me clear directions about how to handle EVERYTHING. There is no price you can put on that kind of care. Thanks, Melinda and Deji and everyone. Such a pleasure working with you.

Melinda Estridge made a hectic and emotional time an easy, fast process. Selling a house is so complicated, but Melinda guided us through all the complicated steps and helped us prep our old family home for sell - she had all the contractors needed from painting and fixing even major problems and a great stylist to present our home to buyers at its best. And we got the best price. She kept us updated on all events. Her advice was right on the mark and we couldn't have found anyone better! All of this and with a cheerful, positive outlook which actually made things fun. A million thanks to Melinda!

Caroline Aslan made finding and buying a new home fun and stress-free in a sellers' market. She helped us narrow down our real needs and wants, and took us to diverse housing and neighborhoods all over DC, Maryland, and Virginia till we were sure we were choosing right and stayed very patient and cheerful as we tried to make up our minds.

Her guidance and suggestions were on the mark, and we are now happy in a much better home than we had hoped for, and could not be more pleased!
If you want to find and buy a great house, go to Caroline Aslan.

We just completed our second home purchase with Caroline Aslan and we were so grateful for her patience and help throughout the process. She was extremely communicative and pleasant through every stage of the process, and she always checked in to make sure she was understanding our needs and priorities. We highly recommend her.

I recently engaged Melinda Estridge to sell a home in the Alta Vista neighborhood in Bethesda. I could not have been more pleased with the professional service provided by Melinda and her incredibly efficient and responsive staff. Melinda guided me through the home preparation and staging process, coordinated necessary work and kept me posted every step of the way. Once a contract was signed, she continued to monitor the transaction and check in with me weekly right up to settlement. Thanks to Melinda and staff for a job very well done.

Have used The Estridge Group successfully for 30+ years. They've always gotten me top dollar and provided expert advice. And the properties have all sold quickly. No one better in the Bethesda-Potomac-DC area.

We bought and sold one house with the Estridge group and we bought another one this year: it was (still is) a tough market for buyers, but we found the perfect home! Melinda, Bob and the whole team offer a terrific service and you feel you have a dedicated real estate agency just for yourself! They are responsive, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable: there aren’t probably other realtors with their cumulative experience in the Bethesda extended area! Cannot recommend them highly enough! Thank you Bob, Melinda, and team!

We sold our Chevy Chase house with the help of Melinda Estridge and her team. Melinda is very knowledgeable about market, recommending any house improvements etc. and she was a great guide through the whole process. We appreciated the team's hands on approach through the different phases, and their responsiveness and follow up. Thank you for the great experience!

Caroline was amazing! She really understood what we wanted and was very flexible to our needs. Caroline and the group went the extra mile to ensure our process was as smooth as possible. Thank you for everything you do! I recommend Caroline to anyone needing that extra support throughout the entire process. Amazing work! We have our first home thanks to you! We also loved our Mortgage broker Gary! We met him through Caroline and we absolutely love him! Looking forward to finding more homes with Caroline :) Very valuable service!

 

I found Caroline Aslan and her support group a joy to work with in the selling of our home. Her great knowledge on
how to navigate the Bethesda market was invaluable in our wonderfully successful sale. Talking with Caroline
educated us and gave us great confidence in what we needed to do to prep the house for the best outcome. We had
some special challenges that proved her resourcefulness and it actually turned out to be a fun adventure. She and
her team really came through for us. It was a great experience from beginning to end and I would recommend
Caroline and her team to anyone.

We recently bought our first home and Claudia Fitall was our realtor. She made the complicated home buying process easy to understand. Without her help we would not have found our dream home. We have and would recommend Claudia Fitall and the Estridge Group to our friends and anyone else buying a home.

I adore Cheryl Kincaid at the Estridge Group. She really listened to my very specific needs and took me on as her cause. Ultimately, because of her Cheryl, I was able to close on a home I love that wasn't even on the market. I am truly indebted to her! 

With the current market in the Maryland/DC area, Caroline Aslan with the Estridge Group is the closer you want on your team. She is effective and energetic in pursuing client goals. Her knowledge goes beyond real estate in this geographic area, as she is truly an expert at understanding which offer terms work best in certain situations, which is key in aggressive markets. In addition, The Estridge Group works as a team providing a wealth of knowledge and support.

So if you're worried about competing offers in an competitive market, give Caroline a call. Once I found the home I wanted, she was persistent in making sure my offer was aggressive and that the contingency period moved fluidly as it provided me with the information needed to move forward in the contract.

We are delighted to provide a recommendation for Melinda Estridge and The Estridge Group. Melinda’s knowledge of the market and market trends, paired with her ability to keenly understand our needs made her an invaluable asset to us in reaching (and exceeding) our recent goals.

Melinda and her group exemplify professionalism and deliver exceptional customer service. Throughout our collaboration with Melinda, we witnessed her commitment to excellence and her genuine desire to connect with us. Melinda has a special gift of interacting with people in an unassuming manner, which created a very pleasant and productive working relationship. Her dedication to working with integrity and honesty was an important plus. A seasoned and successful professional, Melinda always made us feel we were the most important people in the conversation and that our needs were paramount.

We first connected with Melinda eight years ago when she sold a family member’s home and again, a few years later, when she sold a neighbor’s home. Her stellar track record of getting top dollar was impressive and led me to mention that we wanted her to sell our home when we were ready. For the next few years, Melinda called me about twice a year to check in on our plans, talk about the market, and make sure we knew the Estridge Group would be ready for us when we were ready to sell our home.

In the interim, Melinda generously answered many questions and shared some connections with us to help with getting our house ready over time. She put us in touch with someone to help us look at target neighborhoods where we were interested in buying. Eventually, a recommended loan officer helped us secure the right financing that allowed us to buy our new home first and then sell our existing home when it was unoccupied. Melinda encouraged us to consider staging our home and was confident it would pay off in the end. And it did — selling at more than we ever expected.

We highly recommend The Estridge Group and believe that anyone trusting her expertise will end up a very pleased client.

Rarely do I write a review, however in the experience we had with Melinda and The Estridge Group we will gladly take the time! Melinda and her team of experts transformed our house into a show house that captured multiple offers within a week of listing. Every team member was a true professional. The communications where efficient and timely throughout the process. Thank you Melinda and the entire Estridge Group far a fantastic experience!

We worked with Claudia to find a new condo to rent. She was so helpful in listening to what we were looking for in our new home, and she gave us great advice during our search. Claudia is an absolute joy to work with!

Two and half years ago I came across an angel that would help me find the perfect home to start my life with the man of my dreams! Fast forward two and half years, and we are closing on a house! You showed tenacity, invaluable knowledge and a warm heart, you have been a God-send! Thank you, Thank you! Thank you!  

Thank you so much !! We really appreciate everything you did to help us find a beautiful House! 

This is the second time we've trusted Melinda and Bob O'Toole with our property interests, first as a seller and most lately as a buyer. Melinda and Bob are the gold standard in real estate, in my opinion. They are smart negotiators, highly ethical and very responsive. I have recommended them to family and friends and will continue to do so!

Melinda was simply amazing! We had seen her contributions in the neighborhood over many years and knew we should choose her to sell our parents' home. We are so glad we did! She knows the market, had excellent recommendations to get the house ready for sale, and expertly guided us through the sales process. We could not be happier. Thank you, Melinda!

Melinda and her team combined complete professionalism with close empathy as Victoria and I dealt with the inevitable hiccups and traumas of preparing and selling our house. Her advice on preparation and her network of great contractors were key to making a very quick sale at a very good price. She and her colleagues were always responsive, and we felt that they genuinely cared about us and took an interest beyond mere professional niceness. She has a really good understanding of our local market, and of how to help us provide what our demographic of buyers was likely to want from a house like ours. We can't recommend her too highly.

After visiting with 3 agents, my gut told me Melinda was the realtor that I wanted to work with. Her energy and expertise came through loud and clear. Upon my mother’s passing and faced with having to sell our family’s childhood home, our first inclination was to sell it as-is. Melinda advised and encouraged us to spend the time and money to increase the percentage of potential buyers as well as the return on investment. Upon preparing our home for market, Melinda’s advice proved to be right at every turn. She has a great team and access to the resources necessary for most any task at hand. When at a stumbling block, Melinda made things happen. The many business relationships he has cultivated over her many years proved valuable. Her direction, support and advice helped to sell our home above listing at a time when the market was changing and uncertain. I can’t say enough about Melinda and her winning team. Both she and her team members are fantastic communicators, always present and wanting to help in any way. Thank you Melinda and team!

In 2021 my wife and I decided to purchase a new home. We had two interviews at the end of that year with Melinda and Caroline. We learned in detail about their residential real estate practice and their considerable experience in the field. After these meetings we decided to engage them as representatives for our upcoming property transactions. We came upon a wonderful home in Rockville for sale in March, 2022. Caroline immediately took charge of the purchase process. She took all the time that was needed to patiently and carefully explain to us the many important and detailed steps. With her capable assistance we successfully purchased an outstanding house on our first try. Upon completing the new home purchase, we immediately turned our attention to the sale of our home in Chevy Chase. Melinda promptly took charge of the preparing, staging, marketing and showing of our home. She enlisted an excellent team of office help and tradesmen in this process. She successfully sold our home in May, 2022 for $230K above the listing price. Needless to say, we were totally ecstatic with the result. We wholeheartedly recommend the Estridge group for your residential real estate needs. Everyone we dealt with was knowledgeable and professional, always available by phone and email, efficient and friendly during the 6 months we worked together. We feel confident they will present themselves that way to future clients.

Melinda & Caroline sold my house and then Caroline led the way with my property purchase in the adjacent zip code. They both are excellent with keen insight and steadfast with negotiating on my behalf. The entire team is extremely professional, helpful, hard working and kind. This Is an outstanding Group.

Caroline helped me win an excellent house against 24 competing bids!

Cheryl made the sale of my home a very smooth and pain-free experience. During the first walk through, she informed me about the Concierge Service, they provide to help with any repairs and upgrades to help update the house and increase its appeal and I was more than happy to pay for that service. It really paid off for me with the final sale price! I was kept up to date with everything going on, since I had moved out of the area just before the Concierge Service went to work. The cleaning, staging, and showing went off without any problems and I felt very confident that Cheryl and the whole Estridge Group had everything under control after I left the area and had complete trust in them and I was not let down. The cleaning, inspections, staging, and showings were all managed very well and I feel that my trust in Cheryl was justified because the house sold in five days. Cheryl and The Estridge Group are top notch and I give them the highest possible recommendation. If I ever move back to the area, I would not hesitate them to find a property for me.

We were very fortunate to have Caroline Aslan as our realtor to help us find an amazing house in NoVa and then sell our house in DC. I'm sure we were not the easiest client, but she was always a great listener, patient, understanding, and responsive. Our process started before the pandemic, so we faced some uncertainties and doubts when the pandemic hit. Caroline listened to us and helped us a lot to address our concerns. She also helped us make the right questions and take a good strategy when we found THE house. She was also extremely helpful in the selling of our DC house. Her recommendations were spot on, and we managed to have a smooth process, where we received a great final offer just within a couple of days of putting it in the market. Caroline also contacted us with key resources that helped us at different stages of the process, so that all went smoothly. Overall, we had a great experience, and we are now enjoying the forever home we were dreaming of. We totally recommend Caroline and team to everyone in the DMV area!

We are extraordinarily happy with the service we received from Melinda Estridge and her team. From the very beginning, Melinda was able to make everything very positive and absolutely without any pressure. We loved how her knowledge of our neighborhood, our home, and the market helped us to prepare the house, to stage the house, and to sell the house in less than a week from the time it was listed at way above our asking price. Her boundless, positive energy was also a great help in the biggest transaction we will have in our lives! We would recommend Melinda Estridge to anyone who is thinking of selling a home in the DC, Bethesda, Chevy Chase area. It was a total joy working with her.

We were first-time homebuyers with a lot of questions and Cheryl Kincaid helped us through every step of the process. We're so grateful she was on our side and looking out for us. We could not be more happy with the house we found and bought with her help. Thank you Cheryl!

Caroline Aslan provided us with an excellent experience as our realtor, she helped us search the entire DMV area to find exactly what we were looking for - highly recommend for anything starting the home buying process!

From the first moment we spoke to Caroline, we knew she was going to be the realtor for us. She is organized, knowledgeable, personable, extremely responsive, and always filled in as our voice of reason when we needed it. It is easy to get swept up in the craziness of the market right now, but Caroline kept us grounded and helped us to find the right house for our needs. I'm sure we drove her crazy at times with our back and forth on certain homes, but she never showed it. We could not be happier with her as our realtor and the entire team of folks she works with. We would definitely recommend Caroline and The Estridge Group to anyone looking to move to the DC, Northern VA, Maryland area. You will not regret it! Thank you for everything Caroline! We love our new home!

Caroline is amazing and you absolutely want to work with her; she is truly fighting for your best...

Melinda and her team have a detailed knowledge and insight into the Bethesda/ Chevy Chase real estate market. There are five reasons why I believe you should contact Melinda when you need to sell: (1.0) Melinda has 35 years of experience in selling real estate in the area along with a fantastic network of other agents that is a strong boost in getting your property on and off the market quickly (2.0) the turnkey staging and upgrades she managed was phenomenal (3.0) The closing manager was in continuous contact with me and provided expert advice in walking me through every step of the closing process; her team provided on-site support including being present when new kitchen appliances were installed; (4.0) Melinda had a well orchestrated plan for selling the property which was implemented flawlessly by herself and her team; (5.0) finally Melinda has a wonderful heart and treats all of clients as individuals in a sincere and compassionate manner. In short, Melinda is the best and you will not be sorry if you go with her.

Caroline Aslan with the Estridge Group provided top-notch service at a time when the DC area selling market was extremely busy. She is a good listener, very organized, and responsive to seller needs. She provided excellent expert advice on updates for the home, staging requirements, the listing price, and review of offers. She was also willing to "go the extra mile' on numerous occasions. I moved out of the area before the house went on the market. Caroline put me in touch with a realtor in my new city. She also made countless trips to the house on my behalf to monitor construction and advise me on the status of the property. As the closing date approached, Caroline was proactive about resolving issues that could have interfered with closing. I found out about Caroline via recommendation from a trusted friend. I believe I got a very good selling price and overall a positive selling experience with the Estridge Group.

We worked with Caroline Aslan to buy our new home and Melissa Estridge to sell our prior home both transactions in summer of 2021. Both Caroline and Melissa are professional, communicative, responsive and everything you would want as you undertaken one of the bigger financial and emotional events in your life. They also know the market and all the ins and outs and key vendors who are necessary to assure the transactions go smoothly and you feel confident with the entire process. Thank you Estridge Group!

Melinda and her team did an outstanding job selling a condo for me as part of an estate. They coordinated sprucing the condo up, set appropriate pricing, coordinated showings, communicated with me all along, handled negotiations deftly, and facilitated the closing. Melinda made it easy and stress free for me. In short, she's a real pro. I recommend her without reservation.

We primarily worked with Cheryl Kincaid and she was excellent! As first time home buyers, Cheryl provided us with insight into what to look out for and was always ready to answer a question. It was truly a pleasure working with Cheryl and the whole group and we highly recommend the Estridge group.

We ABSOLUTELY LOVED working with The Estridge Group (Bob & Melinda)! They were outstanding in every facet of the buying process during a very crazy real estate market in 2021! Their professionalism, experience, and savvy were critical in us being able to finally purchase a home we love in Bethesda! They are a "5 star" Group to work with...would recommend them highly and without any hesitation! Bob, Melinda and The Estridge Group..."gets it done"...and done the right way!

-Jamie & Maureen H.

It was wonderful to have Melinda Estridge work with us to sell a condo for our family member.  She did a remarkable job, making all of the details seem simple, especially since Power of Attorney issues were involved.  She and her team arranged for a total remodel and tasteful staging. They also navigated the legal and condo-HOA landscapes with efficient professionalism.  She explained every document and every step involved to prepare for and complete the sale.  Her meticulous preparation resulted in a smooth and successful sale.  We would have been lost without her, and are forever grateful - thank you Melinda and team!

Selling your home is probably one of the most stressful undertakings in life. Each one of us is dreading the prospect of it. We approached it with the same trepidation and unease. We knew Melinda from several of her open houses we attended. We liked her open, friendly approach and easiness. What we didn’t know is that behind that was a ferocious professional, fully dedicated to the task she is taking upon. And, maybe, the most important one - from the moment she signs the contract with you, Melinda takes a responsibility to create a product from your home and get it ready to put it on the market and sell it. In that regard, she helps you “divest” yourself from the property much earlier before you formally sell it. All that with a help of a wonderful team of professionals she has assembled. What we learned from our experience with Melinda is that putting the house on the market and your first  “open house” is not the beginning of the process of selling, but actually finalizing it. 

We could not find enough words to honestly recommend Melinda. 

Everything went so smoothly for us. Our house was sold within 5 days on the market and way over the asking price. We were able to move quickly to our dream home. And we never looked back.

-Eleonora and Craig

I am an absentee landlord, and I needed to prepare my single family home for new tenants. The house needed substantial upgrades to make it "tenant ready". I engaged a professional property management firm to handle the work, but the results were awful. Melinda and Estridge Group came to my rescue. I engaged them. They arranged all the repairs and other work needed and did so surprisingly quickly. Then, within a week of putting the house on the market, they found a strong tenant at more than my asking price. Through it all, Melinda and her team kept me well informed and were fully attentive to my concerns. I am delighted!

It was our good fortune to have asked Melinda Estridge to help us sell our home.  She did a remarkable job, making all the complexities seem simple. She explained every document that we signed, and every step that she took to make our home ready for sale.  And her meticulous preparation resulted in a very rapid and successful sale, completely anxiety free.   Melinda’s group are highly skilled, patiently helping us manage the complexities of post-sale settlement procedures.  Altogether, what could have been a stressful experience was instead a remarkably pleasant one.

Caroline is simply the best! She rapidly responds to every correspondence and holds your hand through the entire buying process. We found our dream home while she was on a much-deserved vacation and she still coordinated everything we needed from afar. A total professional and all-around lovely person to know in the community, we could not recommend Caroline.

From start to finish Melinda Estridge and her team guided us through the successful sale of our home of over 30 years - even in the middle of a pandemic too.  With expertise, good cheer, and frequent contact she kept us informed about the market, and provided us with a strategy to get top dollar for our property. She and her team foresaw our needs advised us on how best prepare our property for sale and referred us to affordable, qualified resources. Every detail was addressed when it came time to close on the property which was stress free. You are in competent, caring hands with the Estridge Group. We highly recommend them. 

One word: Awesome! The Estridge Group did a superb job helping me prepare, market and sell two houses
in Bethesda between June and October 2021. I am an architect and experienced builder. We teamed to
renovate the two houses by identifying defects and then remedied with highly experienced contractors. From
painting, new flooring systems, floor refinishing, new lighting, electrical, plumbing and HVAC to landscaping,
staging, marketing, showings, open house and then closing. There is no better real estate professional than
Melinda, and she has gone to great lengths to create a highly responsive, professional team.

The entire team was very helpful and professional during the process of selling our home. They worked with us from day one understanding how best to market and sell our house. the team kept us up to date all the times Our property was only on the market a few days with multiple offers and the final offer price higher than we listed. Their hard work made our sale much easier than we ever thought. We would highly recommend The Estridge Group for individuals wanting to sell their homes

This morning, my dear friend and realtor, Caroline Aslan, reminded me today is my 2 year home-iversary! This past year+ has given me plenty of reasons to be grateful for my home. It's my haven, my apocalypse hideout, my creative laboratory, and my retirement cache.  So let me give a shout-out of thanks to Caroline for helping me when I was setting out on this phase of my life's journey. If anyone (DMV) is looking for your next home or wants to make a move, I wholeheartedly recommend her.

Lisa J

Dear Melinda, Bob, Deji, and Tom,

I've written and rewritten this note and still can't find enough accolades to describe how your expertise, service, & especially your caring improved our lives.

Your guidance and management of the myriad of details freed us to focus on the future - and the outcome was astounding - a record selling price. And an apartment to transition.  David had recommended you based on his experience with your selling his parents’ house and he was right!”

Our future is secure thanks to your work.

Love (Truly),

Emilie & David

Everyone at the Estridge Group has been great and I have appreciated everyone’s patience and working with the entire team. I would have to say it has been the most organized buyer’s side of the transaction that I have dealt with so far. I hope to be able to work with you all again.

Cheryl Kincaid- She was absolutely fantastic! She helped me out with every step of the process and was always easy to contact and quick to respond. She was delightful to be around and obviously loves her job. I wouldn't use anyone else!

"Caroline is the absolute BEST. Incredibly knowledgable and an excellent communicator, Caroline looked out for us every step of the way. She helped us understand the process, what to look for, and what to consider. She brought properties to our attention that fit and she's incredibly responsive and accessible. She is a go-getter and can take charge. We couldn't have been happier."

"I contacted Cheryl regarding another property in Rockville.  Her attentiveness, excitement, attention to detail, willingness to go the extra mile, follow-up and communication skills and above all her genuine kindness and caring personality blew us away!! 

We are closing on our dream house tomorrow morning and we have Cheryl (and her incredible team) to thank for that.  This is not our first time buying property; but this is the first time that we had an agent/partner that was competent, proactive and skillful."

We thought Melinda Estridge and her team were superb from start to finish. We followed each of Melinda’s recommendations re preparation of our house for sale. Melinda made the actual sale/bidding process unexpectedly simple for us. On repairs/staging, she has an incredible team of individuals with different expertise. 

"We have sold several homes with the Estridge Group, using their guidance as we prepared our houses for market, including staging each one with great success.  With our recent sale we got a lot more money than we had invested, we came away with a very clean contract and happily, through Melinda’s skilled negotiations, we received a record price for our home!   Melinda and her team are experienced, skilled and reliable -- we would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell in our area." 

"Cheryl was truly exceptional! As first-time homebuyers, it was important for us to have someone in our corner who understood the market, could provide guidance on how to best approach our decisions (not tell us what to do), and can take the time to get to know us and what we need. Cheryl was that person.

We visited about 10-12 properties and made offers on two. After things fell through on the seller’s end for the first property, Cheryl was ready to hit the market again! It took us no time to find our current home as our offer won on the very next house we saw.

We happily recommend Cheryl to anyone! While visiting homes, there was never a dull moment since it was so much fun to visit homes with her. But, just as important, we felt comfortable in what we were doing as Cheryl took out all the guesswork.

Thank you for helping us find our dream, Cheryl!!!"

"My experience with Caroline was absolutely amazing. Not only was she kind and patient but he was honest. This process was a breeze and this was because of Caroline. Caroline was professional and respectful. I would recommend Caroline to everyone thinking of looking for an apartment in this area."

"We had the best experience with Cheryl as our realtor! We knew we were in great hands with the Estridge Group and are so grateful we worked with them and had Cheryl on our side while navigating this process as first time home buyers (especially when she’s needed to go to bat for us to protect our best interests). Not only is Cheryl patient, responsive, honest and market savvy, but she’s also someone you want to hang out with and we enjoyed going to happy hour and several hours of house tours with her, which we saw as an added bonus of working with her! We have already recommended her to our friends beginning the house hunting process and highly recommend working with her for your home buying search."

"HUGE, sincere thanks to you, Caroline and your team for making this such a smooth process for me. Especially as a first-time home buyer. I don't know what the future holds but I would be very lucky if I had a similar experience if I sold and bought another home in the future."

"Caroline was wonderful at helping assemble the team to get my house on the market and ready to sell. She is always patient, quick with answers, knowledgeable about the market and just very easy to work with. The house sold for above the asking price in 4 days with multiple offers. We have used Caroline for both buying and selling and our experience was totally positive both times."

"Fantastic! I worked with Melinda on the sale of my house in Maryland, and Caroline on the purchase of my new house in Virginia. Both of them were great. They really helped me find the right new house, figure out the transaction, and answer all my questions. Everything went very smoothly. Highly recommended."

"Melinda and her crew were unbelievable – I live and work in Atlanta, GA and she and her team helped get my Penthouse condo in Washington, D.C. ready to sell from painting, to new hardwood  floors, to new bathrooms, to a new kitchen!  The condo had 3 offers within a short time and sold for close to full asking price!  The staging company, Ana Igal, were excellent and also helped tremendously.  What a team, Melinda, you are the BEST!"

"Caroline was great! She was knowledgeable, communicative, and patient. She helped us feel supported without feeling pressured. We look forward to recommending her to other friends or family members we hear are house hunting in the DC Area."  

"We loved working with Caroline Aslan and the rest of the team at the Estridge Group. Caroline was knowledgable, kind, and patient. She was quick to respond to our calls and emails, happy to answer all the questions we had as first time homebuyers, and struck the right balance between bringing enthusiasm to our search process without making us feel pressured into making offers on houses we weren't fully excited about. Tom and the Closing team were also great. They helped us through the final steps of the process and made it possible for us to close especially quickly (in under 30 days!). Caroline was also able to connect us with excellent referrals for painters and contractors to handle some initial work we wanted to get done on our home. On the whole, we've really enjoyed working with Caroline and will be recommending her widely!"

"Melinda and Bob's support was just excellent. They walked us through the process, sensitized us to the local market dynamics and were just terrific when it came to getting the deal done."

"Caroline Aslan was the ideal agent for me as a first time homebuyer. She explained all the steps to buying a new home and patiently answered my questions. She made sure I got the place I really wanted. No pressure. In fact, she even talked me out of making an offer when she sensed I wasn't completely happy with the commute time from the place. I ended up buying a condo that meets all my needs at a good price. Caroline and her team sold my parents' condo for the asking price. Caroline brought in terrific repairs, cleaning, and staging folks, who made the condo look great. They managed this during the COVID19 lockdown while my parents were quarantined in their continuing care facility in California. They made the sale easy for us, managing all the communications and signatures remotely. Many thanks to Caroline and her team for their effort and dedication, and patience and thoughtfulness."

"My stepfather passed away last August and I was left with the daunting task of taking care of my mother, who has dementia, and selling the home they shared for almost 35 years. Needless to say it seemed like a monumental task. I needed a real estate agent who offered a turnkey service to refurbish the townhouse and sell it at top dollar. Melinda and team exceeded expectations! They found the contractors, created the design, and managed the entire renovation process. Melinda gave great advice on staging and offer price and in the end we had thirteen offers within a week- at the height of COVID! Amazing! I was ecstatic- and more importantly- so was my mom!"

"We listed our house with Melinda Estridge during the height of covid-19 and she was able to arrange an open house that brought scores to visit. She also had potential buyers in the wings. She knew the best pricing strategy to create a short bidding war and we were very happy with the results. She gave us many recommendations that we followed all of which proved to be on point. I would recommend her to anyone in the Bethesda/Chevy Chase area. Lots of experience and very easy to work with."

We had an amazing experience with Caroline Aslan at the Estridge Group! I can't recommend this team enough. She was incredibly responsive and flexible to our schedules. They sent very useful daily lists of houses that matched our specific criteria and helped us view any houses that we'd like. She made the negotiation and closing process easy, and we ended up with our dream first home! You won't be disappointed with this team!

Melinda and her team were very proactive when, shortly before we put our house on the market, a neighbor introduced me to an acquaintance of his -- who had a family member who was interested in the house. While cautioning us that such introductions work out only about 1% of the time, Melinda nevertheless immediately halted all ongoing prep work on the house, and then introduced her team-member husband, Bob O'Toole, to the prospective buyer's family, who had no representative and was a home-buying novice. Bob proceeded to spend several days and many tireless hours (well, I'm sure he got tired) providing these prospects with quality even-handed information, guidance and outright advice to help them make a correct and informed decision. Once Bob became close with, and trusted by, the buyer herself, he took the lead and, once the parties had reached an agreement, got the parties across the finish line. (Side story relevant to this entire process: My wife and I knew Melinda from prior home buys/sells -- in fact, as a budding realtor in 1986 she helped us find our first house when we first moved to the DC area from out of state. Knowing her, and later Bob, as well as we did, we had no concerns about conflict-of-interest issues, which the two of them fully vetted both with us and with the prospective buyer's family...displaying a high degree of professionalism and awareness in what was a legally delicate circumstance.) After a vigorous and tense week, we closed an all-cash deal on the day we had intended to go to market. While our purchase price for the home was less than what we had hoped and expected from 18 years of ownership, Melinda and Bob in the run-up had been relentless in explaining to and eventually convincing us of the realities of the current marketplace for homes like ours (7,000 square feet of living space, on 2 acres, purchased 18 years ago for just over $1M, but located in the distant DC suburbs). We're now relocated to SC without the worry of this house.

This was the third house we have sold in the Greater Washington area. Never have we enjoyed a smoother, more professional and more satisfactory outcome than from this sale handled by the Estridge Group. From the moment we interviewed Melinda, we knew she was the right realtor for us. She had an outstanding track record and was a consummate professional. We followed every suggestion she made, which turned out to be a wise decision. We were very impressed by every member of her team, including everyone she brought in from contractors to stagers. When we went on the market, we had a remarkable response, even compared to similar homes in our neighborhood, and sold in the first week after reviewing multiple offers. We could not recommend Melinda and the Estridge Group more highly. Wint and Jane Palmer, Chevy Chase MD

My family has relied on Daniel Schuler for buying, selling, and advice. He has delivered superior service and phenomenal results. Daniel helped our family plan and execute a sale that exceeded our very high expectations during a very difficult time following a death in our family. Despite being a  high demand/high volume agent, he distinguished himself with his ability to listen with care and provide a personalized approach to the transaction. He took the time to understand our values and objectives. He demonstrated expertise and market insight to develop the strongest possible strategy to execute our vision. No detail was overlooked. He communicated with us at each phase. We felt like we were his only client. After another (very) successful transaction we consider Daniel Schuler to be a trusted fiend and advisor.

Daniel is the best. He's very knowledgeable and communicative about every step of the home-buying process. He's also available around the clock, is incredibly cordial and sets realistic expectations for prospective home buyers. I very strong recommend him!

Melinda and team were with me through the complete sales process. They were instrumental in getting my property ready for a quick sale. Their network of handy men and painters was very helpful.

It takes a certain kind of expertise to navigate all the aspects of a home purchase and sale. Daniel handled both for me simultaneously and did it with professionalism, and an understanding of what we needed to accomplish personally and financially. He really knew how to structure both our offer  and listing and we had a great process because of it. I highly recommend him. 

Daniel was very knowledgeable about the entire home buying experience and was very responsive to questions and concerns. He was a great chaperone for my husband and I through the entire process of buying our first home. He found the house we ended up buying, and when the VA appraiser required that  repairs be made and the seller dragged their feet, he stepped in and made sure the work got done and closing happened without much delay. We looked at quite a few homes, and offered advice when we asked, without ever pressuring us to buy. Not to mention, he's a great guy. Would definitely recommend him to first time home buyers, or any buyer for that matter.

As first time home buyers, we wanted a good deal in a great neighborhood and that’s exactly what we got! I did a lot of research online, searching for houses myself, but Daniel was the one who found the perfect house for us. He’s super responsive, very good at what he does, and makes the whole  process fun. He knows the market really well and the firm he works for has a great reputation in this area. His background in architecture was very helpful when we were viewing houses, as he could speak to what could be done to upgrade the homes. I’ve already referred him to friends and we highly recommend him!

Melinda and her team know the market, they know how to raise the value of the homes they sell. They keep clients informed Melinda and her team work with a knowledgeable group contractor and designers who work with seller to make their house shine. Melinda is a great agent, she represented my well, when she sold my house in 2 days

I was making a long distance move and really needed to rely on Caroline and she did not let me down. She was able to remotely walk me through a few properties, offered good advice, helped make the purchase process go smoothly. In addition she connected me to local resources when I needed help. I  think she went above and beyond to be my eyes and ears on the ground and advocate. I enjoyed working with her and would definitely recommend.

I was never an advocate for using realtors to buy/sell any home - especially in today's digital era. That all changed when I met Melinda Estridge. In fact, she told me that her group was going to "change my opinion of realtors" forever. Let's just say that The Estridge Group surpassed any  expectations I had. This past summer, we had to quickly downsize my aging parents from their home of 40 years to a senior living community. Melinda assured me that if we followed her teams's advice and recommendations, she would be able to find buyers for our parent's home within 30 days and sell it at a very competitive price point. We took the month of June to repair, update and stage the home - and listed it during the July 4th weekend. The open house was a huge success and stimulated lots of interest. True to her word, and before the end of July, the home was under contract. The settlement and closing was simple and Melinda guided us all the way to the finish line. Best of all, our parent's home was sold a bit higher than our asking price (yeah baby!). What I've written in this review so far could be considered as basic expectations for any good realtor. However, what made The Estridge Group fantastic was the way that they handled the smaller "experiential" details. As soon as we committed to work with them, they would regularly communicate with us throughout the home repair work, the staging efforts and the listing/showing process. We were never in the dark and we always understood what was going on and what they were doing. Melinda herself would call me at the beginning of every week to let me know what to expect in the coming days and to see if I had any questions. If I ever did have questions, it wouldn't matter if it was early morning, late at night or even on weekends - The Estridge Group would quickly respond. If you were to now ask me if it's valuable to work with a realtor to buy/sell a home, I would (emphatically) say "YES"...as long as you choose to work with The Estridge Group. I could not be more satisfied - and grateful - with the entire experience working with them.

Wow, all I can say is "Wow"! When we had to make the big move from Washington, DC to the burbs, I happened upon Caroline on Zillow- and what a blessing she was. At the time we were looking for a house rental, and, needless to say, the pickings were slim! Somehow, she managed to find us the perfect  home at our price point in the Bethesda area. She was super knowledgeable of the market and walked us through every step of the rental qualification and contract process. Two and a half years later, without hesitation, we called her to be the listing agent on my aunt's home, and she was remarkable. My aunt received great offers within a week from the listing. When it came time for my husband and me to purchase, she was ready and prepared to strategize to get us into our first home within a critical timeframe. Caroline is an honest, knowledgable, and expert troubleshooter and negotiator. We love our new home and would not have made it happen so swiftly without her expertise!

Daniel is an excellent agent! We were impressed with his knowledge of the community, ability to negotiate flawlessly, and dedication to customer service. He was in constant contact with us throughout our home buying journey and was a wonderful advocate on our behalf. I could not recommend him enough.

Caroline was great! The process of selling my home was not easy. I had a lot of memories in my home. Selling it was very difficult for me personally. But Caroline was the perfect person to help me think about the big picture and understand the value of what my home was worth. Because of Caroline,  i got more money than what we asked for. I strongly suggest anyone looking to sell to contact her immediately! 

Bob has been great mentor and advisor to me since 2006 when I first met him to help me buy my second house. I also bought my first home in 2004 with Estridge Group. Now, this is my fifth time having Bob as my agent to help me buy and sell both my residential and investment properties. All have  turned out to be great opportunity, Bob, Thank you for your time and skills in helping and guiding me through each property on its challenges and opportunities.

I do not usually write reviews but for Daniel Schuler, I had to. The service I received from Schuler when my wife and I were looking to purchase a home for a couple of years, was exceptional. He always made time for us. He genuinely cared and had our best interest in mind during the whole process.  He answered all of our questions and was very responsive. He was extremely professional yet very personable. Even after purchasing the house, he followed up with us and had a group come out to help us with little fixes which instantly made the house feel like a home to us. My wife and I will, for sure, be using Schuler again for our next purchase or sale. FOR SURE!

We were extremely pleased with the outcome of selling our home through Daniel and his team. Daniel was enthusiastic and attentive. Daniel was able to negotiate a contract and settlement that was both gratifying and quick. He and his team were thorough, efficient and had many resources that we  were able to use. Daniel walked us through the complete process from prepping our home, staging, listing, negotiating and the settlement agreement. He gave us great information that helped us make the many decisions along the way. We are very happy to have selected working with Daniel and his team at the Estridge Group.

Caroline was exceptional to work with. Nothing was too much trouble for her. In all my many moves over many years I haven't ever received such personalized 'white glove' assistance with purchasing a home and all the transaction as well as financial logistics. Every step of the way Caroline was  responsive, erudite regarding the process, accommodating and honest. She responded at all times of day and night around our work schedules. She completed tasks sooner than we thought possible and with a helpful, thoughtful attitude. Moving can be a stressful process, buying a new home and combining families isn't easy but Caroline has made this a pleasure. I highly recommend her!!

My mother and I had the pleasure and the privilege of working with the Estridge Group beginning near the end of last year. One of our relatives had recently passed away and we were tasked with the sale of their house. We got to know a couple of the neighbors and they recommended that we work with  the Estridge Group, as they had very successfully renovated and sold the house across the street from us. My mother and I are very glad that we took their advice. From the first meeting to the very last, the Estridge Group was courteous and efficient. They were quick to lay out the appropriate game plan for the renovation of the house and had great connections with every individual needed to complete the process. Watching Melinda and her team work was very impressive, as everybody she works with is very good at what they do. Her team has been together for so long that it almost seems like they can read each other’s thoughts at times! Her and Ana make such a great duo and the end result was really fantastic! I’ll be honest, I didn’t have the highest of hopes before we found out about them, as the house was older and had been neglected for a number of years. However, within a week of working with the Estridge Group my feelings had come around. They took their work seriously and wanted to make sure that the new homeowner would be just as satisfied as we were once everything was said and done. Once they had completed all the renovations they didn’t rest on their laurels! They got the house to market and it sold within just a couple of days! My mother and I were, and are, very pleased with the results. The Estridge Group helped ease the burden of what was an emotional time for us, and we can look back on the process fondly knowing that we made the right choice! I’ve already recommended them to a number of acquaintances. We wanted to be sure to leave a glowing review for them. People are extremely quick to leave negative reviews for businesses whenever something goes awry, and often let a good experience go unnoticed. I wanted to make sure that this was not the case here, and am doing my best to get the word out for a great group that deserves the credit. We have nothing but kind words for them! Extra special thanks to Melinda, Ana, Jamie, Eddie, Alfonso, and Paragon Title for helping us out so much!

We worked with Caroline to buy a house shortly after moving to the DC area and had a great experienced for several reasons: 1) she knows both the real estate business and the Washington, DC market very well, 2) as a first-time buyer she made sure that I was fully informed and comfortable with every  aspect of the process, 3) it was genuinely fun to look at for-sale houses with her, 4) she listened carefully to, understood, and remembered all of our needs and preferences (price range, taste, etc), and 5) most importantly, she wasn't remotely pushy - in fact she frequently reminded us slow down and take our time until we found a house we both loved in our price range. We strongly recommend her.

Caroline Aslan made the home-buying experience easy and even fun, from start to finish. She carefully explained the process of working with a real estate agency and brokerage, advised me on assembling a team for title, financing and settlement, and guided me through listings and homes that met my  criteria. At every step of the process, she offered helpful advice and guidance, and reminded me of important to-do's -- even if she wasn't responsible! I recommend her to anyone looking to buy real estate in the DMV.

My first impression of Caroline was at an open house. I was impressed with her interaction with others as they entered, but she also greeted me very warmly. I had experience with several other agents since I was about to sell my home and many were trying to sign with me. I contacted Long and  Foster and said I was interested in signing with them, but only if Caroline Aslan would be my agent. I was not disappointed with my choice. One of the main things about her was she really listened to me. She advised me on making decisions about my home and respected the decisions I made. I had found that some agents didn't listen at all and frankly showed a degree of disrespect to the client. Caroline was the opposite I clearly understood that she was there for me. She worked with me to decide what the best path was for making changes in my home that would yield the best outcome. I was introduced to contractors that provided all the services that I needed to prepare my home for sale. She processed the final paperwork very efficiently and went over all the details so that I was clear about what I was signing. Caroline knew that I didn't want many of the frills associated with selling a home and in the final analysis she managed to arrange that. I was very pleased with the final outcome.

From day one, Daniel presented himself extremely professionally, and showed not only a clear understanding of real estate, but also a clear understanding of how to manage and meet client expectations. Although from time to time, there had to be a little give and take, ultimately, Daniel delivered  on all fronts (selection and managing of contract work, staging, photography, showing, pricing and negotiations, and finally closing). In the end, the process was very smooth, we got more than we hoped for on our home, and would absolutely recommend Daniel to anyone for their future real estate transactions.

As first time buyers, we were grateful for Daniel's expertise, patience, and responsiveness as we searched for and ultimately landed our first home. Throughout the process, Daniel provided knowledgeable guidance and ensured that our many questions were answered. We especially appreciated his  attention to detail and professionalism. We highly recommend both Daniel and the Estridge Group.

My experience with Daniel Schuler was nothing short of exceptional. I knew, within 3 - 5 minutes of meeting him, I had made the right choice. Not only his industry knowledge, but his passion for a career to which he is devoted. His passion for real estate is unmatched. Daniel works with a team who  assist each other in whatever way is needed. The myriad personalities of their clients, does not seem to sway them (i.e. Daniel and the Estridge Group) from their responsiveness to each individual client. I took advantage of this team and my home was under contract within 4 days of the first Open House! There are not enough accolades for Daniel and the entire team!! 

We just bought our first home with tremendous help from Caroline. She is the only agent we ever worked with, so we don't have any comparison, but from the beginning until the closing date, she was a wonderful guide to all of the complex process of buying a house. She has good knowledge about the  area, good skill for negotiation and understands all the process well so she prepared us well for each step. We would definitely work with her and her team again.

The level of patience and compassion during this overwhelming process made all the difference! As first time home buyers, we were up against a vicious market, and Daniel always made us feel safe and explained everything in terms we could actually understand! Daniel was persistent when we found  something we liked, and patient while we looked for our dream home! He was with us every step of the way and even after the whole process - helping us find people to help with repairs, checking in, you name it! I would recommend Daniel to anyone in a heartbeat - he is someone who actually cares about you, who you can call anytime, no matter how long it may take!

Daniel helped my husband and me purchase our first home in Alexandria, VA. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and the home-buying process, highly responsive in our correspondence, and very patient with our many questions as first-time home buyers. Not only that, but he got us the first  house we bid on -- a feat we thought was impossible in the DC area! Thanks to his expert guidance, we outbid eight other offers and his team negotiated a deal that was still under what we had been willing to pay. We love our home and are so grateful! We would work with him again any day.

Daniel did a great job helping us getting a house! We did not have a good experience with another realtor so we were amazed how quickly Daniel was able to help us find the perfect house. He was able to negotiate the price and made the whole process relatively easy. Daniel is very knowledgeable and  you can contact him at any time. He replies immediately and answers all questions. He is super friendly. We would def. recommend him to anyone.

Caroline Aslan has been nothing but spectacular in helping me sell a property in Fairfax, VA recently. She oversaw a detailed upgrading project from start to finish and took all the pressure off me. My property was staged beautifully, priced perfectly and this resulted in a quick sale with multiple  offers (all above the asking price) within 3 days Use Caroline with confidence, she knows what she is doing and is a credit to the industry.

Scott really went above and beyond helping us buy our new home. He is extremely knowledgeable about DC properties, the quirks and expectations of older homes and what properties are worth the investment. I never once questioned Scott's opinions or explanations - he knows his stuff! Over countless  showings and a number of fruitless offers made, he remained persistent and by our side. Not only that, but Scott worked over Thanksgiving day while writing the offer and negotiating the sale of our (now) home. When we needed some repairs prior to closing, Scott set everything up for us, securing the GC and overseeing the work. He stopped by the property multiple times between the time our offer was accepted and closing day -- just to offer additional assurances that when we got our keys, no surprises would be in store. I 10000% recommend Scott Sachs! 

We recently sold our home in Chevy Chase, MD. Since it was a one-of-a-kind house, we were very careful to choose a real estate agent who knew the area and the market, but who also could devise a plan that would capture the unique appeal of the house. We interviewed three very qualified agencies,  but chose the Estridge Group after meeting with Melinda Estridge and Daniel Schuler. We couldn’t have been more happy with our choice. They were extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to serving our needs. We relied on Melinda, Daniel, & their team for everything, including recommendations for a pre-sale home inspector, a stager and helpers for the work of organizing the home for showing, people to handle the estate sale, and even the movers. We relied completely on their expertise at every stage of the sale process. The bottom line was more than satisfactory, since we sold the house at our asking price in a matter of days. We couldn’t recommend the Estridge Group more highly.

I can't say enough about how great Melinda and her team are. Top professionals with a deep knowledge of the area and the market. They were incredibly strategic about timing, price and marketing. We live in an area where many houses have sat on the market for months. Ours sold within days at  >10% over the listing price. They have tremendous access to reasonably priced excellent people to help get your house ready for the market. Selling a house is incredibly stressful. Melinda's team lifted that weight from us with their helpful, devoted attention. We could not be happier with the outcome

My wife and I ended up moving to Nova from Vermont on very short notice - not knowing anything about the area we were very fortunate to find Caroline who helped us find an apartment in literally two days, organizing and coordinating all moving parts. Unknown to us at the time, she didn't even  receive a commission for this and the level of care was outstanding. As the year moved on, my wife and I decided to put down roots and looked to purchase a home. We never gave a second thought on who to reach out to. The buying process for us was filled with challenges, all of which Caroline navigated with expert knowledge and precision. We can say without a doubt that the only reason we were able to find our way into our new home was with Caroline's help and guidance; when it looked like our financing was going to fall through, Caroline called us from England on her Christmas holiday just to help talk us through things even though the financing situation was beyond her control. We have never felt so cared for in any client relationship as we did with Caroline - there isn't high enough praise that I can even give, but she has earned our business now and in all future endeavors.

Caroline was fantastic to work with. She treated me as a valued customer and helped me find the perfect home for me! She worked with me for nearly 2 years and never gave up on me nor pressured me to buy something I didn’t really love. She is also a genuinely nice person and that is very important  when Home shopping. -Don M.

As a first-time homebuyer, we couldn't have had a better experience working with Daniel. From the very first phone call he made sure to thoroughly explain every detail and that we understood the ins and outs of buying a house. He helped us list out what we were looking for in a house, a price  range, and a few different areas we liked. Once we had those parameters he provided several listings which were exactly what we were looking for. Within a month and half of first talking to Daniel we closed on our first house and couldn't be happier! Daniel extremely responsive, answering emails after hours and on weekends. He is very knowledgeable not only on the market in the greater D.C. area but also provided valuable insight on the condition and constructions of the homes we toured. Most importantly, he gave us his honest opinion and never pressured us one way or the other.

We recently relocated and met with several agents in the DMV area. Daniel was the only agent who was able to show us undivided attention and listened to our needs. He always brought us the latest homes that met our requirements. Daniel was beyond helpful during our settlement and has continued to  be a resource for us post settlement. He knows all the neighborhood spots and knows exactly where we should bring our kids to burn off energy. His personalization was key to making the relocation less painful.

I sold my mother's house this past spring after her death in January. The house needed some updating before going on the market, and Melinda and Bob were savvy in what kinds of updates to do in order to attract the type of buyer I was looking for. They oversaw all the work needed to put it on the  market, as well as the sale process itself. They were a delight to work with, as were their office staff, and their knowledge and expertise led to a very successful outcome.

We just recently bought a house and I cannot say enough good things about Daniel Schuler, our realtor. He spent many weekends on the search with us, helping both my husband and I hone in on what we actually wanted in a home. He gave great advice through every step of the process and we both know for a fact that if it wasn't for Daniel, we probably wouldn't be living in our perfect little home. In DC, the housing market is competitive and it really helped having someone like Daniel on your side.

Daniel Schuler was our agent and he was always available to answer questions, meet us to look at homes, offer advice and help us navigate the details involved in purchasing a house. We feel fortunate to have had Daniel to offer support and guidance. 

There is a lot that goes into buying a house. Having such a knowledgeable agent made the process
effortless. My wife and I always knew that he had our best interest in mind during the whole process. Any
recommendation or advice from him was surely for our benefit. Additionally, we must have asked him
10,000 questions but he answered every single one. This went a long way in putting us at ease during the
entire process. I absolutely can never work with another agent apart from Daniel Schuler...highly
recommended from me and my wife.

As a first-time homebuyer, we couldn't have had a better experience working with Daniel Schuler. From the very first phone call he made sure to thoroughly explain every detail and that we understood the ins and outs of buying a house. He helped us list out what we were looking for in a house, a price range, and a few different areas we liked. Once we had those parameters he provided several listings which were exactly what we were looking for. Within a month and half of first talking to Daniel we closed on our first house and couldn't be happier!

Daniel extremely responsive, answering emails after hours and on weekends. He is very knowledgeable not only on the market in the greater D.C. area but also provided valuable insight on the condition and constructions of the homes we toured. Most importantly, he gave us his honest opinion and never pressured us one way or the other.  

Melinda and her team are experts who get results. She was highly recommended by good friends as I was looking to downsize after 20 years in the same home. I did my research, but was a novice. I decided to put my trust in Melinda and her team and it paid huge dividends. They walked me through the whole process, managed all the details including renovations, and sold my home the first weekend it was on the market for much more than I expected. I recommend them without hesitation and look forward to working with them in the future.  A.B. Bethesda, MD

I can't say enough about how great Melinda and her team are. Top professionals with a deep knowledge of the area and the market. They were incredibly strategic about timing, price and marketing. We live in an area where many houses have sat on the market for months. Ours sold within days at >10% over the listing price. They have tremendous access to reasonably priced excellent people to help get your house ready for the market. Selling a house is incredibly stressful. Melinda's team lifted that weight from us with their helpful, devoted attention. We could not be happier with the outcome.

Caroline Aslan has been nothing but spectacular in helping me sell a property in Fairfax, VA recently. She oversaw a detailed upgrading project from start to finish and took all the pressure off me. My property was staged beautifully, priced perfectly and this resulted in a quick sale with multiple   offers (all above the asking price) within 3 days. Use Caroline with confidence, she knows what she is doing and is a credit to the industry.

My wife and I ended up moving to Nova from Vermont on very short notice - not knowing anything about the area we were very fortunate to find Caroline who helped us find an apartment in literally two days, organizing and coordinating all moving parts. Unknown to us at the time, she didn't even  receive a commission for this and the level of care was outstanding. As the year moved on, my wife and I decided to put down roots and looked to purchase a home. We never gave a second thought on who to reach out to. The buying process for us was filled with challenges, all of which Caroline navigated with expert knowledge and precision. We can say without a doubt that the only reason we were able to find our way into our new home was with Caroline's help and guidance; when it looked like our financing was going to fall through, Caroline called us from England on her Christmas holiday just to help talk us through things even though the financing situation was beyond her control. We have never felt so cared for in any client relationship as we did with Caroline - there isn't high enough praise that I can even give, but she has earned our business now and in all future endeavors.  

Melinda and her team were simply outstanding. They guided us through the process of selling our home with knowledge, expertise and efficiency of true professionals. Melinda leads a group of people all of whom were extremely responsive and efficient in providing guidance from preparing the house through choosing the best offer and closing process. Our house sold the within days of putting it on the market. The team is pleasant and deserves the highest compliments for professionalism and expertise.

We were very pleased to work with Caroline both in selling our home and buying a new one. A true people person, Caroline was able to figure out our needs quickly and work gently but diligently with us through this life-changing event! From providing us with neighborhood hints (listening to sounds  of the highway) to structural flaws we might never have seen and design ideas to help us think outside of the box, Caroline was a true partner in the home buying process. As far as helping us get our home ready to sell, she was always on call to provide guidance working with contractors, and putting out small fires on our short turn around time!

Scott invests time in identifying your needs as a customer to then narrow his searches and support and deliver your dream home. I have twice worked with him and I remain highly impressed

I had the pleasure of working with Caroline to buy my first home with my husband. Caroline was extremely responsive and helpful level-setting expectations. She was helpful in keeping the conversations with the seller's agent on target and focused toward what was a win/win solution for both sides.  Caroline also did a fantastic job of helping control the transaction with the seller and their agent. I would recommend Caroline and The Estridge Group to any one of my friends or family as they were extremely proactive, responsive, and helpful every step of the process. They arranged all of our appointments, appraisals, inspections, etc...and we didn't need to lift a finger, definitely a 5-star service! My husband and I are extremely happy with the service and will certainly be working with Caroline/Estridge Group again in the future!

The Estridge group was fabulous. My house sold within two days! They helped me spruce up my house in a cost effective and timely manner and helped manage the entire process. They are a true boutique real estate group, with one person lovelier than the next. I would recommend them to anyone looking

Daniel is AWESOME! There really is no other way to put it. If you are looking to buy a house, Daniel is the guy to go to. He is super knowladgable on the ins and outs of the house buying experience. He makes you feel very comfortable and he doesn't seem to ever get annoyed no matter how many  questions you ask him (which is highly impressive). You can contact him at anytime with any questions or concerns and he will respond in a very timely manner. I can't say enough good things about Daniel. He guided my wife and I through our first home buying experience, and to tell you the truth, it was a flawless experience. His patience is remarkable! We found a home and closed on the home within 2 months. So if you are looking for a realtor who is going to represent you well and who will look to get you the best deal possible, look no further, you have found your guy! Just read all the previous reviews on Daniel, they are the simple truth. We experienced all of what others have stated in their reviews. Daniel is: experienced; a negotiator; a marketer; detail oriented; available; patient; inquisitive; the list could go on and on. Above all though, Daniel really listens to what you want and he goes on a mission to make it happen. Honestly, You have to meet him and see for yourself. He is a absolute pleasure to work with. Look no further for a Realtor, you have found one of the best. Daniel is the go to guy. HANDS DOWN. 

Caroline was amazing! Buying a house was a monumental task and she made it a very pleasant experience for me. I never felt rushed into making any decisions. She was very responsible and was always available to address any issues or concerns in a timely manner. I couldn’t have worked with a better  realtor. Thank you Caroline!

Scott helped us both sell our Adams Morgan apartment and buy a wonderful single family home in Reston, VA. He made the whole process as easy for as possible. He is professional, courteous, and reliable - he was always one step ahead of our questions. He was extremely knowledgeable about small  repairs/steps we could take in selling our apartment and we ended up selling for over asking price! As first-time single-family home buyers, he was responsive to all of our needs. He walked us through the financing, inspection, and negotiated closing cost credit and seller repairs. He hooked us up with a contractor to refinish our kitchen and entertained our two-year-old during our closing. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in the DMV!

We have worked with Scott for our home sale in Kalorama, and now out home purchase in Reston. We have felt very comfortable working with Scott for the last two years. He is obviously knowledgeable as well as very professional. I would (and do) highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of a real  estate agent.

The Estridge Group has been our real estate representatives for many years. They have sold two of our houses and have represented us in purchasing our home as well. Melinda and Bob have developed a class organization that truly understands its clients and how to maximize benefits for those clients. All needs are taken care of in a professional manner and nothing is overlooked. Their staff is top notch, thorough, and a joy to work with.

Scott can sell homes QUICK!! He made the stressful process of selling a home and the closing process as easy as possible. He is extremely professional, courteous and took the time to listen to our needs/wants. He also knows the area better than anyone I know. I would highly recommend him to  someone that is buying or selling in the NOVA area.

We recently sold our home with the Estridge Group. We didn’t know what to expect when we decided to put our house on the market. We met with Melinda and Daniel and they came up with a comprehensive plan to achieve our goals. Our house needed significant work and they recommended and coordinated  contractors to get the house looking better than we ever could have imagined. As a result of all that they did, our house was sold in 3 days above the listing price! Melinda always kept in touch and was always available when we needed her. We worked on a daily basis with Daniel and we were extremely impressed by his overall real estate knowledge and his expertise in the Bethesda market. His efforts were beyond our expectations. We also worked very closely with Joyce and Jamie and they were outstanding. Selling a home can be an overwhelming so we feel very fortunate that we had the Estridge group on our side.

We recently sold our home in Chevy Chase, MD. Since it was a one-of-a-kind house, we were very careful to choose a real estate agent who knew the area and the market, but who also could devise a plan that would capture the unique appeal of the house. We interviewed three very qualified agencies, but chose the Estridge Group after meeting with Melinda Estridge and Daniel Schuler. We couldn’t have been more happy with our choice. They were extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to serving our needs. We relied on Melinda, Daniel, & their team for everything, including recommendations for a pre-sale home inspector, a stager and helpers for the work of organizing the home for showing, people to handle the estate sale, and even the movers. We relied completely on their expertise at every stage of the sale process. The bottom line was more than satisfactory, since we sold the house at our asking price in a matter of days. We couldn’t recommend the Estridge Group more highly.

Daniel guided us through the sale of our house with extraordinary expertise and care. From the first appointment discussing price and strategy to the last moment of closing, Daniel was incredibly professional, personable and dedicated. The end result was a beautiful listing that sold in five days  for over the original asking price. I will use Daniel for all my future real estate needs and recommend him to all my family and friends.

I contacted the The Estridge Group to help me find a home in the area that I wanted live in and at the price that I wanted to pay. I was able to find it quickly and start the process to settlement in a few weeks. My agent, Bob Estridge, was so knowledgeable and instrumental in negotiating the  purchase price. The Estridge Team helped me every step during the process of preparing for settlement. I never felt alone in the process. I was totally confident in The Estridge Group continuous daily support and guidance. Now that I am moved into my new home, I reflect back on the experience and it seemed so effortless for me....in fact, quite enjoyable. It was the best experience that I have had in purchasing any property. I have purchased several properties over the last 40 years but the experience with other Realtors was never as pleasant or smooth from day to day until settlement as it was working with The Estridge Group. I would definitely tell anyone that if you want to work with the right people to find and settle on the right property for you then you need to work with The Estridge Group.

You want to know how Daniel works – read the last 8 or 9 posts you see here. We experienced all of what others have said. That is no accident. Daniel is: experienced; a negotiator; a marketer; detail oriented; available; and the list goes on. You would have to meet him to see for yourself. He  is a family man who is very pleasant to work with. He also has an incredible team in the Estridge Group that makes it all happen. Compare their record to others (days on the market, etc). We all know a realtor who is a neighbor, friend or relative. For one of the most important and largest financial transactions you may ever make – go with the pros. The result – our house was listed on Thursday in mid-January, open house on Sunday, signed contract on Tuesday (list price, no contingencies, no inspection, and pre-approved financing), with settlement in 15 days. 

We can't speak highly enough of our experience with Scott Sachs. From day 1, Scott was extremely helpful and had great suggestions for apartments to view based on what we were looking for. All throughout the negotiations and closing Scott was there quickly handling any issues that may have risen.  He was always very responsive and helpful. He made the process of buying an apartment for us very easy and quick. Especially, for clients like us who live outside the state of D.C. I would certainly recommend him to anyone interested in buying a home. Such a pleasure working with Scott!

We had two very good experiences with Scott, when we moved to the DC area in 2015 and bought a condo and in 2018 when we sold that condo and moved to a house. In 2015, we were completely ignorant of the city, its neighborhoods and the market. Scott was great at figuring out what we wanted and  could afford and found us a great place for a great price. In 2018, when we both sold and bought at the same time, Scott was great on both sides of the equation. He knows the city and the real estate market expertly, he has great relationships with everyone involved in a purchase or sale - from mortgage brokers to contractors. He was a pleasure to work with, most important of all. We could not recommend him more highly.

I can't say enough about Daniel and the Estridge Group team. When my husband and I decided it was time to make our first home purchase in the Silver Spring area, we felt a bit lost and overwhelmed in terms of where to start. From the very beginning, Daniel was the consummate professional; he was  exceedingly knowledgeable, always responsive, extremely flexible, and perhaps most importantly, he was always understanding, patient, and kind. He listened to our needs and wants, gave us amazing advice, answered all of our countless questions, and saw us through every step of the home buying process (even while he was on vacation in Montana!). In the end, he closed the deal on our house despite two other offers because he not only successfully advised us on our offer, but he also had a previously established and positive rapport with the listing agent. I would highly recommend Daniel to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the DMV!

Daniel is a real pro. He spent a lot of time over the past 6 months (including weekends) helping me find just the right condo I was looking for. I can't recommend him more highly. He really knows the DC area's real estate market.

"Melinda was our agent for the home purchase we now live in (fam of 5) and sale of my wife's second property. Couldn't be happier. She has a magnetic personality and knows EVERYTHING about the bethesda/chevy chase market. She also a pitbull when it comes to negotiations. Her #1 trait, however, is her honesty. She is not looking to make a quick buck (ex: we were considering selling and she basically said that was a horrible idea...she said stay where you are. She lost a sizable commission, but she was honest). We would recommend her to anyone."

Melinda Estridge and her team were beyond fantastic. Great knowledge, top notch advice and staging, and smart negotiation strategy that got us well beyond our asking price. We could not be happier with the outcome and recommend very highly!

We interviewed four realtors after our house had been on the market for six weeks and hadn't sold. We chose Daniel because of his energy and his ideas on how to sell our house. From day 1, Daniel was professional, attentive, and truly listened to our concerns. He worked tirelessly on the sale of  our house and kept us informed every step of the way. Beyond that, his advice proved invaluable. From staging to pricing to presentation of offers. Voila. Our house sold in the middle of winter! So, did he then ignore us since his job was done? No, he held our hands through the closing and continued to check in with us at our new house. We give him the highest of recommendations.

I listened to a podcast featuring Melinda Estridge-my Dad is trying to sell his house in OR and I am less than impressed with his agent & the pitiful listing she created. I know it sounds very pretentious of me given that I’m not a real estate agent, but I am going to attempt to write a proper property description for her and so was researching successful real estate companies to get an idea of how it should be done.

I was so thoroughly impressed with Melinda’s expertise and advice that I went to your website to look through some listings. It was extremely helpful-wish you guys operated in my Dad’s area!

Thanks again for the follow-up.

"We highly recommend"

My family recently relocated to the DC metro area. We had a tight schedule to find a house that suited our needs. Fortunately, we decided to work with Scott Sachs and we are VERY happy that we did. Scott provided us with excellent service. He is responsive, knowledgeable about the local housing market and home buying in general, and attentive to our various needs and requests. Scott helped us find a wonderful house in a neighborhood that we love. He walked us through the process (from pre-search through closing) and quickly helped us address any issues that arose. We highly recommend Scott as a buyers' agent and will certainly use him again should the need arise.

"Wonderful Experience"

We have bought and sold two houses with them and had a wonderful experience and both time we got more then we asked. They are very personable and have a wonderful supporting staff.

"Fantastic To Work With"

The Estridge Group is the perfect team for a first time home buyer. My wife and I knew NOTHING about the home buying process. We were overwhelmed and frankly intimidated by the process. We worked with Daniel Schuler of the team. He was fantastic to work with. Daniel truly helped us buy a house. At no point did we feel that he was simply trying to "make a sale". He answered all our questions promptly and sincerely. The Estridge Group is the best. I would not hesitate to recommend this team of professionals to everyone.

"A pleasure to work with ... we'd highly recommend."

We had a great experience with our realtor Scott Sachs. His understanding of the housing market in the NOVA area and ability to spot potential issues when viewing houses was really helpful. He made the process really enjoyable and was friendly even during those 9pm phone calls. The rest of the team was a pleasure to work with as well, and we'd highly recommend them.

Working with Melinda and her very helpful team made selling our house easy. Our home was sold in five days for over asking selling price!!!! Melinda and her team guided us with ease and confidence with complete expert knowledge in their field. The Estridge Group is definitely a first choice to pick when it comes to selling or buying your home.

Well known, well-versed, exceptionally competent and experienced…it’s what you need in today’s real estate market. We had immediate success with the Estridge Group! They carved our path and we did not hesitate to follow their lead and suggestions. The Estridge Group works as a carefully trained, small personal team rather than as that of the usual individual agent who only has standard back office support. They are also uniquely aligned with an extraordinary set of allied partners able to rapidly assist clients with desired inspections, repairs, renovations, and staging. From pre-listing to closing, our entire process was smooth, efficient, direct and well-done!

Thank you so much for helping me sell my late parents' house when you came on when I was trying to sell the house for the second summer.  Due to your efforts not only was there a quick offer and sale, but you made things easier for me by knowing how to deal with the buyers' issues, and you (and Daniel) gave me good advice.  I am so glad you became my agent, as well as assigning me Daniel who was a perfect fit as my agent on a regular basis.
 
 Also, I wanted to thank your excellent staff who were knowledgeable, prompt, and followed through with what I needed - especially Delmas & Joyce whom I interfaced with the most.
 
I couldn't have selected a better real estate co. than the Estridge Group.  It was a pleasure working with all of you.  Thank you again!
 

My experience with The Estridge Group was fabulous in every way. I was made to feel as if I was Melinda’s only client!

Melinda and her team helped me by finding my new home, accessing skilled professionals to prepare my house for sale, understanding the process of selling a house and feeling supported in the emotional process of selling my home. Melinda and her team created beautiful and effective marketing materials and helped me set the perfect price for the house.

My house sold in five days! I couldn’t be more pleased by the outcome With that, I offer The Estridge Group heartfelt gratitude and my highest recommendation.

"Melinda and team are the best real estate agent we have ever worked with before. We needed to sell our house in Silver Spring, Maryland to move a bigger house with better school clusters during 2007. She is very knowledgeable to provide valuable advice on home renovation and pricing to make the quick move in the fast changing housing market. The house was sold within 1 month and we have been so happy with the smooth sale. I would highly recommend to work with Melinda and her team."

"Melinda is one of the best agents I have met. She is professional, smart and has an outstanding track record. I have been working with Melinda for over 25 years and she has always maintained contact with me. I have completed four sales and purchases with Melinda and highly recommend her. Once you speak with her, I’m confident you will see Melinda's value and establish a long-term relationship."

Daniel is truly the best realtor ever. We ran to The Estridge Group after firing a previous real estate agent. He put our house on the market in a little over a month and sold it in ONE DAY. Daniel is a master at negotiation and follow through. He took really good care and looked in after our  house frequently since we moved out of state. His voice is calm yet assertive. Daniel was always available for all of my questions. You will be hard pressed to find anyone like Daniel and his team. His work ethic, expertise, dedication, and honesty is unbeatable.

We were searching for a home to purchase with a sizable garden area. Once we found the right home, I (and my husband) have been thoroughly pleased with the attentiveness that Caroline Aslan has shown throughout the process of purchasing this property. When Caroline had to be out of town at one point, an Estridge team member jumped in and was completely competent and equally attentive to our needs. I really have been very happy, given how many complications can arise during a home purchase.

"A Fantastic Experience"

I am extremely happy and would highly recommend the Estridge group to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. I had a fantastic experience with their on-line representative Tom who was able to help me narrow down neighborhoods as well as a search criteria, through his diligence and follow through I was alerted to a great property and able to find my dream condo. When I schedule a visit to DC, which coincided with finding my condo on line I was assigned a terrific agent Eric and as a first time home buyer he was able to walk me through the process and explained everything step by step. He recommended a competitive offer and my offer was accepted, which was the best news!! thanks to my agents hard work and late nights I was able to get the exact property I wanted. A BIG thanks to the Estridge Group!!

Pediatric Cardiologist Already Referring Friends After Buying Home in Chevy Chase, MD

 

Kristin had such a great experience working with Melinda Estridge & The Estridge Group, she's already referred us to her friends. Hear what she had to say about selling her home in Bethesda and buying in The Hamlet in Chevy Chase!

"Well done, Melinda and your team!"

Homeowners in Bethesda who put their house on the market have a wide choice among many skilled real estate professionals. From among those professionals, we chose Melinda Estridge and the Estridge Group because she is probably the #1 Realtor in Bethesda. It's fair to say that she "makes the market" in our neighborhood, Maplewood-Alta Vista. We were not disappointed. Melinda suggested certain improvements to make the house more saleable, and brought in Dan Lindner of Fix-It, LLC and his capable staff to make those improvements. She brought in a staging professional who was a pleasure to work with. Most important, she pegged the property at the right price. As a result, our house sold immediately, the weekend that it came on the market, at the asking price. Melinda and her competent staff made the whole process, from contract to closing, a smooth one.

"A Rewarding Experience in Selling Our House"

We listed our property for sale with Melinda Estridge following interviews with 3 real estate agents in March 2015. Melinda's knowledge of the local area market and her approach in selling properties convinced us. Melinda recommended staging the property for showing and open house. Initially skeptical, we were pleased how it turned out. After staging, our property looked more attractive and the money spent for staging proved to be a rewarding investment. Melinda recommended a competitive listing price to attract potential buyers and this turned out to be the right approach. Following listing, we had 8 showings the next day and 12 showings the following day. The third day Open House attracted more than 50 people at the property. Melinda called us every day to provide us with an update. We were told that, following 3 days of showing, there were at least two offers registered. During this time, Melinda and her office staff were busy calling potential buyers who showed interest in the property. On the sixth day following listing, we had 4 offers and 3 out of the 4 offered a purchase price higher than our listing price. We accepted the offer with the least contingencies. Understandably, we were very pleased with the result. This was also more or less what Melinda had predicted and indicated to us when the property was listed. Melinda has a very capable and professional supporting team. Among them, her Operations Manager Joyce Brown is a super efficient and nice person. She follows up all matters closely and was responsive in all inquiries. We highly recommend that anyone who wishes to sell their property hires Melinda Estridge to be their listing/selling agent. Her knowledge of the market, negotiation skill, professional advice, and her highly capable supporting team had provided us an rewarding experience in selling our house.

Getting You the Best Purchase Price Possible

"I got a new job in July and needed to find a house in Montgomery county ASAP. I got very lucky by meeting Daniel Schuler from Estridge group. I was looking at rentals, but Daniel suggested that buying was a better and more affordable option; and he was right. Not only he helped me to find the house, but he also introduces me to the mortgage financing team that helped me to obtain loan at amazing 3.5% interest and settle within 30 days, no gimmicks no hidden fees. Daniel was there every step of the way very responsive and efficient. He was very aggressive at looking after my interest and getting me the best purchase price possible. Melinda Estridge was following up with me all the time to ensure that I am satisfied with the service. Also, Bob O’Toole was very helpful in assisting me when Daniel was out of town, in other words great team work.
