Sarah and Anne Harrington are quite possibly the best real estate professionals in the area. They are extremely knowledgeable of the current market, popular neighborhoods, and have established relationships with vendors/services in our area to make the home buying experience easy and enjoyable. Their attention to detail, responsiveness, and unique perspectives was incredible. They really did have our best interests in mind and knew exactly what we were looking for. I believe that is what differentiates them from other real estate professionals. I would recommend Sarah and Anne Harrington to all my family and friends. In the end, they found us our perfect home and we've been loving it ever since!

They knocked themselves out. Inclusive in their services: a floor plan to the inch prepared by an architect; photo tour (photos taken by an excellent professional photographer); gorgeous brochure; excellent pre-sale recommendations to improve the house; the ability to work with the tenant so smoothly that they were able to get in before the house was listed, arrange many buyer prospect visits--all without a hitch; an unmatched network with contractors of all trades who JUMPED when called. The list was much longer. They worked hard and made me feel like I was the only customer they had, which is obviously not true considering the extraordinary amount of houses they sell. I was not well and they took over everything--I don't believe I set foot in the house. Everything was done electronically including settlement. They couldn't have made it easier on me.

Sarah was terrific. She's a great negotiator both on the initial deal and with handling the inevitable issues that arise during a real estate transaction. She was also fantastic in helping us get our home ready for sale. I highly recommend her.

Anne and Sarah gave us the best advise to help us sell our home. They helped find professionals to help us make small improvements that turned our home into a show room. We had three offers after being on the market for less than a week, two of which were for more than what we were asking. The overall experience of working with Anne and Sarah was hassle free and made it easy to sell our home; not only were we delighted, our buyer was as well.

Anne and Sarah are simply the best. They make the whole process as stress free as possible. They are always available to answer questions or help with issues. I would strongly recommend Anne and Sarah to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in their area.

Sarah and Anne Harrington were recommended by a friend. Their expertise with the process was invaluable. We sold in 19 days, they helped us price the house correctly and they were able to negotiate a price that was above our expectations. Sarah and Anne were responsive, punctual and listened to our input and questions. We appreciated their valuable guidance in an important process that we had not been through before ...

Sarah and Anne helped us purchase our current home and then sell our previous home. They had good advice and access to contractors that could move quickly to ready our previous home for market. They are very responsive and understand the market well.

Background: I was responsible for selling my deceased sister's home located in Reston, VA while I live in Charlottesville, VA. The home had not been kept up to date either with general maintenance or in its decor. Sarah and Anne provided well-crafted recommendations that helped improve the home and ultimately sell it for the asking price. Timetable: I retained Sarah and Anne Harrington in mid-October 2017 and we closed on the sale Feb. 28, 2018. This exceeded my expectations by several months! Best recommendation: I changed out a basement window to allow egress per fire code and thereby increased the number of bedrooms to four from three. Overall guidance: Sarah and Anne have many reliable contacts to draw on, including experts in tree removal, carpet installation, home staging, painting, termite control, etc. They coordinated the needed repair and refresh activities very capably on my behalf. Their communications were frequent, honest, and encouraging.

We used Anne and Sarah to sell our house in Fairfax County, Virginia while we were living abroad. They worked with us, our property manager, renters and contractors to get the house ready for the market. We relied on them to make decisions on what needed to be done to best present our house. They worked as a team to make sure all the work was done properly and quickly. We had multiple offers and closed within a month. If we were going to buy or sell in the NOVA area again, I would definitely use them.

Sarah (mostly) and Anne served as both the listing agents for the sale of our old house, and the buyers' agent for the purchase of our condo. They are specialists in the neighborhoods of central Fairfax. As we were preparing to list our home (had signed a listing agreement) Sarah was approached by a potential buyer who was looking for a house like ours. We agreed to show it "as-is" and it was smooth sailing from there on. Sarah and Anne helped us work through price negotiations, inspections, requests from the buyers for work to be done, paperwork, rent-back and closing arrangements, in a way that reduced the work and stress for us. They helped us to find contractors for the tasks that needed to be done. Sarah and Anne were very patient with us as buyers' agents, showing us dozens of homes over more than a year, and when we finally decided to go with a new-build condo, they supported our negotiations with the builder, and made sure the closing went smoothly. I would work with them again, with no concerns. I think Sarah, especially, is very good at "reading" people's priorities and concerns, and smoothing the way for closing a win-win deal.

We wish to make it know that Anne & Sarah Harrington have proven to be an OUTSTANDING team who handled our home sale with EXTREME efficiency and HIGH professionalism. They proved most helpful in guiding us through the complicated process of downsizing our home belongings, preparing our property for sale, and executing the sale process in a most timely manner. The crew of professional technicians they had at hand to deal with making our house most presentable proved most excellent and resulted in the house being sold on the same day it was listed.

The entire process took about a year, and Anne and Sarah were involved in both the renovation process and the sale of the house. They had a contractor they worked with, as well as a designer, so I was able to use them and didn't have to look for my own contractor and workmen. When it was necessary, Anne and Sarah got bids for the renovation work. When it came down to selling the house, they took care of everything -- from pricing the house appropriately for the market, deciding on exactly when to put the house on the market, all the advertising and publicity, staging the house, the open houses, contract work, and closing. They were great! They made a difficult process a piece of cake!

We hired Anne and Sarah to sell our mom's house which she had lived in for 47 years. They were such a lifesaver and made the entire process easy for us. We took their advice on renovating the home and had them handle all the repairs. What a difference! We were amazed at how great the home looked when they were finished. Sarah was amazing. She oversaw all the contractors and was able to get all the renovations completed on time, keeping us in the loop throughout the entire process. The house sold immediately. We would never have gotten the sales price we did had it not been for Anne and Sarah. What a great team!

The home selling process went exceptionally well due to Anne and Sarah's experience, professionalism and hard work. Every time an issue emerged, they were able to resolve it expeditiously. In addition, their recommendations and advice were key to our successful home sale. We can't thank them enough for being there on our behalf.

We made this sale from overseas and Sarah and Anne made it happen! They were impeccable from start to finish. They got us a great price, always responded promptly, and on several occasions went above and beyond for us. We were also impressed by the number of other professional services they employed in the sale process, including a wonderful staging company, and highly professional marketing materials. We would use them again were we to move back to the area and would unreservedly recommend them to others.

Sarah and Anne Harrington provided the most amazing experience for my husband and I, as we are first time home buyers. Sarah aided us through every step of the process, making it as stress free as possible. Sarah is candor about the properties: what makes them special or what should be questioned. Not only did she help us find the perfect first home for our family, she fiercely negotiated to ensure we received the best possible contract and that all of our expectations were met. Sarah exhibits a standard of professionalism and compassion that is unmatched. As long as Sarah and Anne are in the real estate market, I will be referring them forever!

Sarah acted as a project manager/ideas person, providing us with suggestions on what work to have performed and forwarding cost estimates to us in Australia which we evaluated and approved and then returned to her to schedule the work. We were very happy with the work suggestions she made and her choice of contractors. She also worked with our tenants to have some of the work done while they were still there, ensuring it didn't disrupt their departure. Because of her scheduling we were able to have the property on the market shortly after our tenants left and then it was sold shortly after the first open house.
The Harringtons then worked to ensure that all the closing activities were completed (repairs or compensation after House Inspection for example) to allow for a smooth sale while we remained in Australia.
Sarah was easy to work with, prepared to contact us outside Fairfax Business Hours because of the time difference with Australia and happy to be directed via email or phone call.
We have no hesitation in recommending the Harringtons for your Real Estate needs in the Northern Virginia Area

Very impressed with Sarah and Anne. Although based in Fairfax Virginia and the majority of their sales in and around that area, they were familiar with Arlington County which certainly helped speed the sale of my condo. My condo had been empty for some time and Sarah and Anne came in and took care of everything to prepare for the sale. the staging they arranged was very tasteful and efficiently handled. Minor maintenance issues were also efficiently and effectively managed. Once the condo was officially on the market it was under contract within 2 weeks. Obviously, I couldnt be more pleased with this outcome. Settlement process was also handled very professionally and the follow up during the whole processes was great.
I am extremely happy to recommend Sarah and Anne Harrington to represent sellers during this process.

Closing was on agreed date/time.
Suggest the agents advice be followed pretty close whether a buyer or seller. They are the ones keeping current in market trends.

It was a pleasure working with Anne and Sarah to sell our home. They gave us good advice on pricing, held multiple open houses, and worked closely with us at all stages of the process. We were fortunate to get a couple of offers, and Anne and Sarah gave us excellent guidance in evaluating them and making counter-offers. They kept in touch with us through the home inspection and the closing. They also had some great referrals for services we needed to meet the inspection conditions and for moving. All in all, they are true professionals who know the market and the sale process inside and out.

Working with the Harrington's will put you in the absolute best hands there are in the real estate world. They were always available to discuss and help us through the process, and provided helpful recommendations and advise. The absolute best knowledge of the community and surrounding areas, with great ability to assess and read the market. If you have the pleasure of working with them you will not be disappointed, Straight A's, A+ if possible to give on Angies' list.

I feel so lucky that I found Sarah Harrington, and she helped us find our home! We are a military family who were moving from Florida to Northern Virginia. I was initially looking at the Mantua area, and Sarah and Anne are residents of that area. Sarah immediately began searching for homes for us, and she provided us with tons of information on the area. After talking with friends and further research, we decided on a different area in Northern Virginia. She had no problem switching areas and on a very short 3 day visit, she helped us find our home! She was always very responsive, and she was a great advocate during the purchase process. I always felt safe knowing that she had our best interests at heart, and she was going to use her experience and knowledge to get us the best deal. Best of all, I now consider her a friend! I highly recommend the team of Sarah and Anne Harrington whether you are buying or selling your home. Their experience, knowledge, and sincere desire to help make them the best real estate agents. Although I hope to not move again for a very long time, if I do I know I will use them to list my house!

After two other "large exposure" brokers failed to produce a buyer and many wasted months, I selected Anne and Sarah for their personalized attention to the home listing. Sarah was diligent in pursuing buyers. Each prospect was given her personal time and skilled salesmanship and produced a buyer. Thanks to both of them for helping us sell a unique property!
