"Daniela was a huge help during the sale of my condo. She brought a steady, thoughtful approach that made the whole experience straightforward and stress-free. Her attention to detail and support throughout the process made a real difference, and I truly appreciated how easy she was to work with. Daniela was reliable, professional, and a pleasure to have on my side. Highly recommended.

"We had an outstanding experience working with Daniela! She guided us through both selling our home and finding our new one with professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. Daniela was very knowledgeable about the different neighborhoods within Alexandria, and ready to help with any questions or concerns. Her market insights were invaluable, helping us sell our home for a price we were very happy with and find a new wonderful home within our budget. We highly recommend Daniela to anyone looking for a dedicated and trustworthy real estate partner!

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
Daniela did an incredible job selling our house and finding us a new place to live in Old Town Alexandria. First, Daniela took the time to ask questions about our timing and needs. Daniela provided guidance each step of the way: she offered experts to help prepare our house for market, created a tailored list of possible new homes, answered every question, and staged the house once we were settled in Alexandria. As a result of Daniela’s expertise, we had a contract on our house in four days, and we are happily living in Old Town. I highly recommend Daniela for your house hunting and selling needs. She is the best!

I don’t know if I could have gotten through the process of purchasing my home without the guidance and patience of Daniela. I had originally begun looking in early 2020, with the help of my Dad to make sure I was asking the right questions. Once the world shut down, we paused the search. We resumed looking in 2021. At that point my dad had passed away and I was completely lost and overwhelmed at the process. Daniela showed me several different homes in the area I wanted and patiently listened to me go back and forth on places and putting in offers. She thoughtfully explained everything to me and never pressured me into making a decision. Once we found ā€œthe houseā€, her high-level experience and knowledge resulted in my offer being accepted over several others. Buying a house can be scary, but with Daniela’s help it was painless. Upon purchase, she connected me with some of her local professional vendor contacts like HVAC, locksmith, and cleaning services. She is a warm, lovely person with a distinct eye for the potential in properties and the realistic expectations of what our property options are. Daniela has incredible taste and offers insight on properties I wouldn’t have seen on my own. Although I don’t plan on needing her services soon (because I LOVE my house), I would be so happy to work with Daniela again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for the right home.

Daniela is a pleasure to work with. She is not only our realtor, but also our friend. What I love most about working with Daniela is her willingness and ability to find us the home that is best suited for us. She wants people to be happy and it’s apparent in her approach to real estate. Another benefit of working with Daniela is her extensive list of contacts for anything you need. She will entertain any idea and any question with knowledge and laughter. She is a consummate professional and a wonderful friend. It’s also helpful that she knows all the latest interior design trends!!.

Working with Daniela has been an absolute pleasure through every one of our four real estate transactions. From the very beginning, she has consistently demonstrated the utmost professionalism, making the entire process smooth, clear, and enjoyable. Each time we’ve worked together, Daniela has impressed me with her dedication to my needs and goals, all while maintaining a friendly, approachable manner that instantly put me at ease. What sets Daniela apart is not only her extensive knowledge of the market but also her genuine kindness and patience. No question is ever too small, and she always takes the time to explain details, ensuring I’m comfortable with each step of the process. She is extremely responsive and truly listens and tailors the approach to suit exactly what I’m looking for—whether buying or selling. Throughout our transactions, Daniela went above and beyond, handling every aspect with meticulous care and offering valuable insights that helped me make the best decisions. Her ability to navigate the complexities of real estate while maintaining an unwavering positive attitude has made all the difference. I would highly recommend Daniela to anyone in need of a realtor who combines expertise, kindness, and an exceptional level of professionalism. She has truly been an invaluable partner in each of these transactions, and I am incredibly grateful for her hard work and dedication.

Daniela was a dream to work with when selling our house that had been a rental. On the day of the move-out inspection, she met us onsite and walked through with us immediately — identifying the things that needed to be fixed or updated before we put it on the market. The same day, she had called a painter/handyman and got us a very reasonable quote. In less than a week, the work was done, staging was done, new plants were out front, and beautiful photos were ready. She drafted an eloquent description and gave us a chance to weigh in, then posted and advertised with targeted social media. We had a full price offer within 1 week and got to closing smoothly with her immediately answering any question we had along the way. Selling our home with Daniela was easier and less stressful than most things we do in a week — she’s truly amazing!

Daniela was such a pleasure to work with!! She was knowledgeable about properties in the area I was looking. She showed me things in my price range in various conditions and sizes to let me compare and make a good, solid decision. I couldn’t be happier with the property that I ended up with and she made it so easy and smooth. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
Daniela is just the best! She helped us sell our old house and find a new one. Selling required some cosmetic repairs and she helped us find contractors that did excellent work. She is honest and very reliable. We would use her again if needed. She is just a pro.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
Daniela represented us when we bought our house in Old Town. She was fantastic. She knows the local market and we were able to present a strong, competitive offer without overpaying. The closing was seamless.

Daniela is fabulous! She sold my condo that was a complicated family trust ownership in 1 day!!! She is very knowledgeable, professional and just a pleasure to do business with. I have referred her to several friends.

Daniela helped my mother relocate to Old Town from out of state, and it couldn’t have gone smoother. Her ability to connect and guide clients is unmatched. Couldn’t recommend more.
