TESTIMONIALS
"Julia was wonderful - professional, competent, knowledgeable, with a great attention to detail and a can-do, positive attitude. She stepped in and helped out during the entire selling process as I was out of town and could not attend to all the matters in person. She was there to make sure things were done properly, repairs were made and the house staged in the best setting. It was a pleasure to work with her and I want to express my appreciation for her professional services and would heartily recommend her to others."

"I have entrusted Julia with both buying and selling my home in Northern Virginia and recommend her for any and all real estate business. When we were new to the area and looking to buy she provided exactly the kind of advice and guidance we needed to navigate the treacherous Washington DC area markets. She provided expert advice on what to look for in construction, wiring, and plumbing as well as ensuring we were aware of the tax burdens and public transportation. She expertly led us through a competitive buying process to get us the house we wanted and that was the perfect fit for us. Ten years later when it was time to sell; I immediately called Julia since I would have trusted this to no one else. She took care of everything since we were now living 500 miles away. She got contractors in to do repairs, worked with our tenants to take possession and timed our market debut to make for maximum impact. She priced it perfectly and we had an offer within 10 days! All her advice was ideal for us to make a quick sale and a nice profit. I recommend Julia Avent without reservation!"

"Julia is an experienced and knowledgeable Realtor who is committed to the sale of your home. During this tough housing market, Julia appealed our home appraisal when the initial number came in below the sales contract price. Julia worked diligently to provide correct and additional information that resulted in a fair and appropriate final appraisal. Julia and her team work with you one on one to get your home ready for sale, including providing a stager to assist the homeowner. She knows the market and is attentive to the needs of both the seller and buyer. If you want top dollar for your property I would highly recommend Julia and her team."

"Valerie and I want you to know how much we appreciated your association, expert advise, and total professionalism during the recent sell of our Condo in Arlington. You know better than anyone the stressful time period people go through when selling property. We could have not been happier with the communications and services you rendered to us. You secured the right buyer and negotiated a fair deal for us. It was a real pleasure to work with a dedicated and professional agent who understands the business."
~ Bart & Valerie Hogan
"…We selected Julia based on her comprehensive market analysis, her knowledge of the present and future market for our particular type of property, her comprehensive sales approach and her unmatched sales record. We cannot say we were really surprised when she brought in the first potential client within minutes of becoming our representative. If your object is to 'sell' rather than 'list' your property, you should seriously consider letting Julia be your realtor."
