Client Testimonials
Evelyn saved the day. The thought of selling our condo was overwhelming -selling from out of town, pricing it competitively, legal issues with the sale of parking spaces, selling in the off season, renovation decisions, the dreaded process of interviewing contractors, and worrying that we would not be there to supervise the work. She took care of all of this and made the entire process seamless
She made solid recommendations regarding pricing, timing to list and what updates would be cost effective to help sell it. She has her own contractors who did beautiful work. She kept us updated, so we always knew what was going on, always responded quickly when we had questions, listened and made time for us whenever we needed to talk. If you want an organized realtor who will work hard for you, is at the top of her game regarding worry free renovation, experienced with the market, readily

Evelyn Lugo did absolutely a great job for my sister Mary! Mary returned to Illinois and Evelyn assisted with the remodeling and selling of her condo in Washington DC. In every conversation I had with Evelyn, I could tell she was experienced and knowledgeable of the DC market. We had many bumps along the way, but Evelyn smoothed them out and made it happen. Our confidence in Evelyn proved true. If you are buying or selling in DC, you cannot go wrong with having Evelyn and The Lugo Parker Team on your side. She makes things happen. Thank you Evelyn. My sister, myself, and our family in Illinois owe you a great deal of gratitude!

Having a realtor is part "friend", part "advisor", and a whole lot of "life coach"! Evelyn showed tough love, a tender heart, and a guiding hand to get the best deals for us. We have both buying and selling experiences with her and her team, so we got to see both ends of the deal. "We initially "found" Evelyn the old fashioned way...calling the agent. But, wow, were we impressed. This was way more than a "deal" for her. It was finding the right fit for us. She was available, responsive, knowledgeable, strategic, considerate...you know, all the things one needs in a realtor (but, one rarely gets)." Evelyn worked diligently on both of our deals, which were very different. With our first interaction, we bought a place in a "hot" area in DC. The transaction was seemingly straightforward, but there are always glitches. She didn't flinch through any of it. She handled each situation with aplomb and made us feel that we were getting the best value. - Michelle Catlin
"The second deal she handled was the selling of a rental we owned. The previous renters did us no favors trashing the place before they left, but Evelyn helped us find the best option. Even though our place was in a more sedate area (and far from model home condition), we found a buyer in less than three weeks. Then....the closing process. It was difficult. Negotiations took what seemed like an eternity; the buyers' mortgage was weeks behind schedule; and a client (that would be me) was always on travel. Honestly, we could not have done this without Evelyn's experience, tenacity, and fortitude. Even when she went on a previously planned vacation she managed to stay appropriately connected."
-Justin Scott
"I put my condo on the market with very little interest shown from perspective buyers. Well I was referred to Evelyn Lugo in late I immediately switched realtors. Evelyn Lugo brought a different reality to my situation. We immediately adjusted the price of the condo, she had me get rid of some of the clusters in my unit, sent her professional photographer, and published new photos and a FABULOUS flyer. Within a day of the new posting, I had interest shown almost everyday! Evelyn is knowledgeable, approachable, personal, patient and incredibly generous with her time. She responded to my many texts and e-mail in record time. (And, I can be overwhelming at times, if I must admit so myself.) Needless to say, we went to closing within 30 days of me meeting Evelyn. I highly recommend her, and have done so."

"Evelyn is an extraordinary agent! She is here to educate, support and provide the best service. As a first time home-buyer I was very impressed and I truly knew she had my best interest in mind. Evelyn is an agent you can trust."
-Enisa
"Evelyn represented us when we bought and when we sold. She is no nonsense and professional, and she went over all of our options with us so we could make informed decisions. She also has a huge and impressive network of professionals she works with, and she only works with the best. She was able to get us the best possible price for our condo, in part because she knew exactly what we should focus on before putting it on the market, and in part because she regularly works with contractors that she knows can get the job done."
