"When selling my elderly relative’s condominium, I knew it was important to find a real estate broker who was knowledgeable and understood my needs. Trish Sweeney was more than just a real estate broker; she was a partner who helped me during every part of this process and went above and beyond what I expected. I had a wonderful experience working with Trish. She listened to me and provided valuable advice which resulted in a sale above the price we were asking. Trish was always available to answer my questions and address any concerns which made the entire process stress-free. I would recommend Trish highly to anyone in the Washington, DC Metro area who is seeking a real estate agent who gets the job done for you and makes the entire process a wonderful experience!"

"Working with Tony was a pleasure. He has a strong commitment to open communication and an excellent negotiating sense. Being out of state during the entire transaction, I was confident to leave all of the details in the hands of Tony and The Calkins Group."

★★★★★
"Tony helped us both with the purchase of our new home and sale of our condo. He is knowledgeable, personable and we always felt that he had the best interest of our family in mind. Would absolutely recommend him and work with him again!"

★★★★★
"Tony Calkins made the process of buying our new home (and selling our old one) incredibly easy. He is knowledgeable, professional and warm. He is ALWAYS reachable and his calm and unflappable approach does not prevent him from being a zealous advocate. He strikes the exact right balance between keeping his clients updated and moving forward without ever pushing. I cannot recommend Tony and team more highly." - Lily B.

★★★★★
"We are indeed fortunate to have engaged Tony Calkins: first as a buyers agent, then later as a sellers agent. He is dedicated to his clients, he is creative, patient, and knowledgable of market conditions. He is also highly respected in the real estate industry.We would not hesitate to engage his agency again. Thank you for this opportunity to share our experience."

★★★★★
"Tony was my agent when I purchased my home in Bethesda. He is friendly, professional, and a conscientious negotiator. I went through the purchasing process remotely, as I was living several states away at the time. Tony was highly communicative and helped make the process seamless and stress-free."

★★★★★
"Quick points, Tony is responsive, effectively communicates, knowledgeable, timely, loyal, and didn't stress me out. This was my first home purchase, and I was doing it by myself so I had a lot of questions and things I needed to learn along the way. Purchasing a home can be very intimidating and it was definitely a stressful process, which is why having Tony as my agent was a godsend. Tony was always responsive to me (even when he was taking a family vacation and had associates who were very efficient). Tony never pressured me (trust me I was asking for champagne on a beer budget), and he prepared me for the housing market race, because it is. I have nothing but good things to say about Tony, he even came to bat for me when other people in the buying process were not on top of their job. He knows a good value purchase, and knows the game. I was able to buy my dream place at asking price - if you know DC, you know how rare that is, but Tony made it happen and I'm grateful. Lastly, but not least - even after the transaction and closing was complete, Tony went above and beyond to make sure everything was up to par, which was highly appreciated. It's been a few months since I moved in to my new home, and there's no buyers remorse. he helped me find my happy place :)"

★★★★★
"Tony did a really fabulous job helping me find a home. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs an agent. Highly knowledgeable and hard working."

★★★★★
"Great realtor that helped us find our perfect first home in Bethesda. As a first time home buyer, the process can be confusing. Tony helped us every step of the way."

★★★★★
"Tony was great to work with. He is a calm and knowledgeable professional that listens and learns and dedicates the time needed to move forward on deals in the fast-paced DC market. I could not have asked for a better agent to represent my interests than Tony and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone."

★★★★★
"As first time home owners and new to the DNC area, we were simply lost until we met Tony. He guided us through every step and every processes seamlessly. HIs unsurpassed integrity, responsiveness, and openness made this normally stressful experience, completely enjoyable. We truly hit the jackpot by meeting Tony."

★★★★★
"I highly recommend working with Tony Calkins whether you are buying or selling your home. It might make a difference between your offer getting accepted or not! I recently purchased a home, and I chose Tony Calkins to represent me during the process. Tony stood out to me because he was one of the most genuine realtors I met with. We built a good relationship from the start, and it lasted through the whole buying process. With this being my first home buying experience, I didn’t know what to expect besides the puzzling information I could find on the internet. Tony clearly communicated and explained what to expect at every step of the buying process. Tony truly has extensive knowledge in the reality field, and he played a big role in helping the seller’s agent feel confident in my financial ability to secure the loan and close on the home. Tony’s conversation with the seller’s agent was one of the key reasons the seller accepted my offer over the other 3 nearly identical offers on the table. Tony competently handled all the paperwork and managed to meet all the required deadlines. Tony has great communication skills and always managed to quickly return your calls for the rare occurrence that he missed it. I had a lot of peace of mind throughout the whole home buying process. Tony Calkins always made me feel that I was in good hands and everything was properly being taken care of. He managed to make the typical stressful home buying process virtually stress-free. Tony Calkins made a difference between getting my offer accepted or not. If it wasn’t for Tony as my realtor, I would not be living in the home I am in for the great deal I got it for. You should not overlook Tony Calkins for your next home buying/selling process. " - Reece E.

★★★★★
"Tony was amazing. Through all of my stressing and indecision, he helped my through the whole home buying experience and he was always a text or call away when I needed it. Always had a list of houses that suited my interests and was always available to meet and look at the homes. Without Tony I am sure that I would still be looking for a new house. Highly knowledgeable of the area and definitely would recommend him to anyone"

★★★★★
"I highly recommend Tony! He recently sold our mom’s house in Bethesda and was very professional and took on all our worries that come with selling a home. He’s calm, patient, and brings a lot of knowledge and experience in the DC/MD/VA real estate. From start to finish his work was thorough and clear. He never hesitated to go out of his way to help us in any way. I feel very confident that you won’t be disappointed if you choose Tony as your realtor."

★★★★★
"Tony was our buyer's agent for our recent Old Town purchase. His communication was great -- he kept us well informed along the way and address issues immediately when the came up. I would definitely recommend him!"

★★★★★
"As a first-time home buyer, I was extremely nervous and overwhelmed. Tony was wonderful every step of the way, keeping me calm as the process unfolded. What I found most commendable was his willingness to come out of is way on countless house hunting excursions, as at first I didnt even know what type of property I really wanted or could really afford. I would 100% recommend Tony to anyone looking to buy a home!"

★★★★★
"I sincerely mean it when I say Tony Calkins is great! He is comfortable to hang with while looking for at all the homes. He is amazingly honest and listens to what your needs are so you end up looking at the types of homes you want, not just what a realtor wants to sell. He negotiated a deal exactly how I needed it to be with eloquence, warmth and friendliness to the other parties involved, where it was a win for all. I had taken a pause in my search for a few months and when I reached out and said I am again ready, Tony picked up where we left off and then we found my perfect home very shortly after that. This is my first home so he was helpful every step of the way and understanding of the whole stressful process of obtaining a mortgage . So while finding a house, I also made a good friend and learned SO much too!"

★★★★★
"Tony was an absolute pleasure to work with and we could have not imagined a smoother process in purchasing our new home. Not only is he knowledgeable of the area/industry, he was able to provide us guidance and recommendations as it was needed. Extremely resourceful and responsive, we highly recommend using Tony as an agent for your realtor needs."

★★★★★
"Tony sold my home so fast and for more money than I thought I could get. He answered every one of my million questions, handled everything a realtor should, and even helped me with extras like scheduling contractors, prettying up the landscaping and dealing with Washington Gas. He basically hit it out of the park. I will without a doubt work with Tony again. You should too!"

★★★★★
"Tony was awesome! My wife and I had guarded expectations when we selected him for our selling agent (because we've had less than spectacular experiences with agents in the past), and he completely won us over. He was exceedingly conscientious, explained step-by-step everything we needed to know, always followed through, and gave us perfect advice on when and how much to sell our house for. We could NOT have been happier with him."

★★★★★
"Tony recently helped us sell our family home of almost 20 years in the Wheaton/Silver Spring area. He really knew our neighborhood, gave stellar advice in the pricing and presentation of our house, and was exceedingly conscientious and prompt throughout the selling process. We especially appreciated his candor and clarity. Our home moved in roughly a month, which to us shows he's as effective as he is pleasant to work with. Highly recommend him!"

★★★★★
"Tony's friendly-professionalism really showed when he took us on a tour of homes in Bethesda. He demonstrated a clear knowledge of the market and was very knowledgeable regarding financing options."
