I have over 20 years of experience Do you want someone who has sold homes in your neighborhood or surrounding area? Even if I have not sold a home in your immediate area, it’s about knowing what’s going on and coming soon to the area as well as home values. WHAT'S YOUR HOME WORTH? Determine your home's current market value in today's dynamic real estate market. Take into account any upgrades or improvements you have made since purchasing your home, as they can significantly impact its value.

Benefit from their expertise and experience as they navigate negotiations, paperwork, and the entire selling process on your behalf.

CUSTOMERTestimonials ReShawna Leaven made the process of selling our 2nd generation home and moving into our forever home worry-free. Her professionalism and attention to detail provided us with the security we needed to transition into our new home. - URSULA M.

ReShawna was amazing! She and her project manager, Sharon, made my home beautiful for sale in less than two weeks. The house was only on the market for a few days, and we received 8 offers, 6 of them over asking price. Working with ReShawna and Sharon was a pleasure. They made everything easy and are true professionals. I highly recommend them to anyone. MATTHEW F.

ReShawna was knowledgeable, professional, proactive, and responsive. She gave solid advice backed with data and experience. I wanted to sell my property quickly, so proper pricing was important. Reshawna uses technology to keep you in the loop (if that's what you desire). She is available via email, text, and phone. She made the transaction smooth and seamless. Listed Friday afternoon, had a contact Monday, and a ratified contract Thursday. I don't think I could have asked for a better experience. I used her services for a condo in Virginia, but she is licensed in DC, MD, & VA (DMV). Thanks ReShawna! -BRANDI R.
