Janaina works like a charm... She got me my first home. I can remember the other choice I had a few months prior to the one I own now and it was almost gone where Janaina pulled the deal for me (middle of the night) and was successful in putting the deal on hold for me to make an offer. I could not make a decision due to my own limitations but that brought me confidence in her that she will be successful in getting my first home. I closed on my home about a month back and Janaina took me through the whole process and was always there to help out with anything that I did not fully understand. Even after closing the home she is there when I have questions. One thing I can say, she loves her clients! People do their jobs for bread and butter, but she just LOVES the work she does and it is evident when you work with her and aura will tell this!

Last Summer we purchased our home with Janaina Gutu. She was amazing from beginning to end. She educated us throughout the process and was an amazing negotiator as well. We purchased our home below the asking price and she absolutely handled the entire transaction very well. Her skills and acknowledgement of the market made a huge difference.

I sold my apartment with Janina Gutu a few months ago. She was absolutely the best. We got 10 offers and ratified closing in just 10 days. I feel very confident about the process and can't say anything but that she is one of the best in the DMS area.

Janaina helped us sell my moms house and my house in Washington DC. Both transactions happened simultaneously and she was excellent in both of them. She prepared our home to hit the market and managed all renovations and staging . She was an aggressive and active agent on top of every single step. After both houses were under contract we searched together for our next home and once again Janaina delivered the best results. We highly recommend her services.

Jana has been an absolute pleasure to work with for me and my family. Not only did she find me an off market property in this competitive market where I was able to gain instant equity after purchasing my new Condo she also got my brother top dollar on selling his condo in Arlington VA. Both transactions were seamless to both me and my brother and we were impressed by her professionalism and anytime availability. She not just sold my brother's property but she managed and supervised the entire rehab on his property including staging to sell it for top dollar in two days. Mind you my brother lives overseas so all this was managed by her till the end. I wholeheartedly recommend Jana if you are looking for a top agent to buy or sell your home in the DMV!

In one week we move into our new home 🏡🙌🏻 We cannot thank our friends and family enough for their help during this process!! Janaina Gutu and Kunal Khanna are rockstars and made everything very easy from the beginning to end. Not sure if these guys ever sleep.. They stayed up late at night putting our paperwork together and answered every phone call.. it didn't matter what time it was. I didn’t realize how much was involved with getting to the finish line but they were there every step of the way. We learned so much from them and highly recommend it if you are looking to buy. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

"After my husband and I had searched for months for a home, only to hear that our offers that were 10s of thousands over asking price weren’t accepted, we decided to take a break. We weren’t satisfied with our current realtor. We didn’t give up completely and eventually started going to open houses on the weekends. That’s where we met our angel, Jana who was the listing agent on one of the open houses. She immediately showed empathy and began to give us valuable information about the market even though she wasn’t our realtor. It was clear that she just wanted us to find our home. Because we instantly knew, she was “our realtor,” we called the next day to end our agreement with the other realtor. Within 2 days, we found our home. Her knowledge, genuineness, patience and counsel led us to the closing table and a happy life together in our home. The icing on the cake is that she stays in contact with us years later. We definitely would recommend her as she will be engaged during the entire process." - Christine M.

God bless you🙏🙏🙏." - Omotolani O.

"Janaina helped me sell my house , I went through a lot of people trying to sell it but most of them did not want to put in the time, Jana helped with contractors, we made a few changes , she was very particular about things and insisted that things get done a certain way, I am glad I took her advice, within a few weeks she planned an open house and she personally oversaw everything. I received more than the asking price and she ensured that I got the best deal. The sale was very quick" - Hala B.

She is equally adept at finding your dream home. I had a very positive and smooth experience with her and her team, and would highly recommend her to prospective clients." - Nik K.
