Cindy Schmidlin, Berkshire Hathaway Realty

Cindy is polite, personable, knowledgeable, and extremely thorough. She thinks through every detail. Some people may find it too much information at the time, but respect this quality. Her thoroughness will save you much pain and suffering in the long run. Both times that we worked with Cindy, she came to look at the property, listened carefully, and gave us a list of suggestions for what to fix or not fix. She respected our decisions while helping us understand how they would affect our asking price. She kept in close contact with us. When we were ready, she showed us other properties in the area and compared their selling prices and features with those of our house. She was thorough, working with us to write up the description of our house and it’s unique qualities. The listing pointed out the mid-century modern features that would attract the right buyer. She employed a good photographer. We are often disappointed by poorly done listing photos when we are shopping for a house. Cindy’s photographer did an excellent job. When bids came in, she went over each with us carefully. She kept us well informed about the details and what they meant. Cindy has a depth of knowledge about contracts and realty law that benefited us greatly. Once we accepted a bid, she kept in close contact with us. She went over the details of each counter offer and negotiation. She anticipated and discussed issues. She listened to our frustrations. She dealt with them honestly, but with understanding. I feel that Cindy helped us get the best deal possible. I also feel that she worked with integrity and compassion. If I were buying or selling a house in Northern Virginia again, I would call Cindy Schmidlin.
