Why Our Clients Love Working With Us...
Kristie and her team are the best. The thing we loved most about her was her trustworthiness and honesty. She didn’t just rush us into buying the first house we saw or embellish the value of a property (like other realtors did with us). She was straight forward, extremely professional, and always gave us her honest, educated opinion. When it came to closing, she was able to work with the cards we had to get us the best deal possible. She is hard-working, dependable, and knowledgable. I think she has also won several awards in realty for the VA/DC area, which doesn’t surprise me. If you decide to work with her, which I would highly recommend, I would advise you to listen to what she has to say because it will save you time and money in the long run. We also really appreciated her patience because we started to look for houses, then got discouraged, and we ended up starting and stopping the search a few times before we found what we wanted. She worked with our timeline and was super flexible each time we decided to change the parameters of what we were looking for. I can’t say enough good things, really.
Kristie has been beyond amazing during our experience buying a home. It was our first home and we had many questions. She breaks everything down and never makes you feel dumb for asking any questions.
The moment I knew that Kristie was truly amazing was when we went to see the first house and she helped me realize about comparable sales and home values. I was about to pay more than $30,000 over what fair market should have been based on the location. Now as an agent who makes a commission, not sure why she was so honest and helpful to me.
She really wants the best thing for the clients and is extremely patient.
She makes herself available almost any time day or night and really made the stresses of buying a home and dealing with so many thing almost non existent. I could not recommend with any conviction another.
She gets a 5+++ stars from me!
Thank you to her whole team for taking great care of us and supporting our first home in buy in such a crazy market!

As a first time home buyer, we were very glad to find Kristie who was really patient, flexible, supportive, and was always willing and able to answer any questions we had, not just for real estate but for plumbing, inspection, appraisals, and VA Loan. She was very experienced and knowledgeable about everything and knew a lot of resources in the community. She was also willing to come at late and off hours at short notice which made us easier to find a house right away. We were very happy with her service and would definitely recommend her.

Kristie Zimmerman from RLAH is by far the best realtor in the business. This is my second home I have closed with her. I have known her for the past three and a half years. She has guided me each step of the way and took into consideration all my needs for my homes. Referring her to my family and friends was the best decision I made. She took care of them as well and has made several friends and family happy. Kristie is very attentive and knowledgeable on several subjects and is very proactive. Thank you once again for all that you do and continue to do.

Kristie was well prepared and professional through our entire buying process. As first time buyers, she guided us through the current market and what we could expect when looking at properties, time on the market, and making offers. We quickly found the home we wanted and Kristie worked late into the evening to get in an offer and be first. This directly contributed to our offer being accepted. She was also present and highly responsive for the home inspections. If we had questions, she would respond extremely quickly and would always follow-up to make sure we were informed. From start to finish she helped us get through the purchase process as smoothly as possible. We are so grateful for our incredible experience working with Kristie.

I’m not new to the real estate rodeo. I’ve bought a few houses across the states, but I recently decided to sell my first. Truth be told, I was disheartened by the amount that it actually costs on the seller’s end and considered other flat/ low rate companies. Before making any decisions, I caught a glimpse of Lisa in action and scheduled a consultation. From the start Lisa demonstrated a deep knowledge that far surpassed any other real estate agent I’ve worked with and knew she was the one. Let me tell you, she is worth every single penny. Everything about my experience was superior to anything I’ve seen. Forget soggy flyers, Lisa made us full color cardstock brochures, a personal listing webpage, and a professional video! Our house never even hit MLS and we received multiple offers. We closed with full asking price which I pushed to list at top dollar, and we weren’t asked to pay any closing costs. For ???? The ???? Win ???? Military moves can be stressful, but Lisa made this one incredibly easy. If you’re thinking about buying or selling contact Lisa and witness her magic.

Working with Kristie and her team was a wonderful experience. She is very knowledgable about the area and was able to recommend locations and communities that I would love. She was always willing and able to answer my numerous questions during and after the home buying process. Kristie made this a wonderful experience for me and I highly recommend her as a realtor.

This is the second time we have trusted Kristie with the all-important job of finding a home for our family, and it’s the second time she’s proven herself to be more than worthy of that trust. I cannot overstate how important a home is to me. It is not just a house or an apartment. It is the place, wherever it may be, where my family feels safe, secure, and together. It is where my children take their first steps, speak their first words, even tell their first jokes. It is where my wife and I share our lives, dreams, burdens, joys and sorrows together. It is where everything feels right with the world even when it’s not. Entrusting someone with the task of finding that space requires an enormous amount of faith. After our first experience with Kristie there was no question in our mind that we would be turning to her once again. We didn’t even have to discuss it or look at other options. She had found us our home, the first place that had truly felt like home for us. The incredible thing is that the house that became our home was not in any of the areas we were originally looking at, and it was very different from the sorts of places we were looking at. Yet after showing us what we wanted to see Kristie zeroed in on what we actually wanted but hadn’t actually thought about. We humored her, walked around the house and it was just an instant click. We’ve been extraordinarily happy here ever since. Our memories here alone are more than reason enough to recommend her. Now that it’s time to upgrade, she once again knew exactly what we were looking for and made sure we got it. More than that, Kristie and the amazing team she works with carried us through the transaction with an absolute minimum of hassle. As always, Kristie communicated with us thoroughly, effectively and promptly. She was usually available to speak when we called and when not would call us back quite very quickly, a trait I value highly in any profession. In every conceivable way, she showed us, as her clients, not only the high quality representation we knew she would provide but also a level of care and attentiveness that went above and beyond our highest expectations. When you add into the mix an exemplary team supporting Kristie on a moment’s notice, plus Kristie’s wide array of contacts in every conceivable field remotely related to the purchase or sale of real estate, and you have a winning formula. For ourselves, we had another seamless transaction and look forward to many more happy memories in our new home. To Kristie and everyone, absolutely everyone else who has helped lead us to this point: Thank you.

I was in the market for a one bedroom condo in the Northern Virginia region. Although the properties I was looking at were on the lower end of the market, as far as total cost, Kristie and her team always treated me as if I were purchasing a seven bedroom mansion. She dedicated her time and effort to finding me a property I am 100% happy with. Kristie was always very responsive to my calls and texts in addition to being right on time for every showing. She has a very low pressure, calming way of operating, which I greatly appreciate over a pushy salesman type of realtor. I would recommend Kristie and her team to anyone and everyone!
-Dennis
Kristie and her entire team were outstanding from start to finish. Pros: 1) Responsive. We were never waiting for much time at all before hearing back from her on every aspect of the process. 2) Patient. We never felt pressured at any time and, in fact, it was more so the opposite. Kristie went with whatever we wanted, though she would provide her honest and helpful opinion when asked. 3) Knowledgable. She had useful insights on every aspect of home buying, including getting a loan, understanding the differences between types of loans, key elements of a strong offer, cost of upgrades or renovations, etc. 4) Accessible. Kristie adapted to our schedules, and we never felt like she was not available when we needed her to go tour homes, do the home inspection, final walk through, and settlement. 5) Tough. She was always super nice to us, but was a tough negotiator when we needed her to be. She fought for our interests all the way through the settlement day. Cons: 1) None. Bottom line: You simply won’t go wrong with choosing Kristie as your realtor.

Lisa was a fantastic agent who went the extra mile to ensure we received the best offer when selling our house. She engaged with us and kept us in the loop throughout the entire sales process and her attention to detail ensured that everything needed for a smooth sale was achieved. Great experience, highly recommend!
-Jason
I cannot begin to describe how awesome Lisa has been to work with on finding a home in NOVA. She is incredibly knowledgeable of the area and the market. Her ability and willingness to not only explain but guide the customer through the complexities of the home search, offers, negotiating, and closing are top notch. I found Lisa through a referral of a friend which speaks volumes about what quality she brings with her to your search for a home. If you want expertise, value, quality, and a hard working professional….call Lisa!
