Client Testimonials
Weāve known the Taylor Agostino Group for years, but it wasnāt until I
bought and sold a home with Steve and JoJo that I realized how exceptional
they truly are. They guided me through smart pre-sale updates, timed the
market perfectly, and helped me navigate over 10 offers to sell for $240k
above askingāall while finding the perfect next home for my family. Their
patience, honesty, and integrity stood out at every step. Even after
closing, theyāve continued to be a trusted resource. I hope Iāll be in my
new home for many, many years to come, but if I ever need to make a move,
Steve and JoJo will be the first people I call. Itās a no-brainer.

I wanted to let you know how much I admired the splendid work you did on
each aspect of the sale of 3523 Bradley Lane. You started by educating me
on the complex relevant comparable sales data which, with your expert
guidance, enabled me to determine the right asking price. You followed that
by coming up with a plan to make necessary painting touch-up and relatively
modest repairs that, thanks to the great workmen you recommended,
significantly beautified the house at a modest cost. Finally, you handled
the showing of the house with consummate skill, which resulted in the sale
of the house on the first day it was shown at an excellent price. Beyond
these specifics, I also want to say how much I appreciated the maximum and
effective effort you made which led to the great result you achieved.

caring, and immensely effective. After seeing Keene actively engage in
showing us the intricate merits of a condo he was showingāa welcome change
from most agents who just stand in the corner while you walk around ā we
hired Keene to help us find a new home and sell ours.
Keene then faced the challenge of positioning our 135-year-old home,
charming but showing its age, for the best possible sales price. He sought
input from other agents and carefully set an optimal pricing strategy.
Keene is an all-round great guy and amazing real estate agent.
You canāt do better.

We worked with Keene after running into him at an open house. We wanted to
work with someone who was an expert in NW DC and Bethesda. In our first
conversation it was clear that he was going to provide great customer
service, leave no stone unturned, and keep us in the loop every step of the
way. Keene demonstrated genuine empathy towards us at all stages of the
process. We never felt rushed and although we knew it wasnāt the case, we
felt like we were his only clients. He demonstrated contagious optimism,
experience, and patience. Finally, it was clear Keene is honest and acts
with integrity. His reputation and strong relationships with other
realtors in the area can give you an edge in an extremely competitive
market. We are now his biggest cheerleaders and we plan to refer him to
anyone who is looking for a realtor.

Keene, now that the dust has settled from the big move away from Washington
(425+ boxes unpacked!), I wanted to thank you for all the work you did-the
time, the attention to detail and negotiation advice-to bring us such an
excellent result. Please give our thanks as well to Kathy and the team-all
are much appreciated! It was painfully hard to leave that house, but we
are, at the same time, genuinely excited about the next chapter in our new
home! And a pool is rather nice! I hope we can join forces again when we
(inevitably) move back to DC! Until then, we wish you all the best.

We just sold our home of 33 years with the superb expertise of Steve
Agostino and his team. Every step of the way Steve was there for us, taking
out the stress out of a difficult time. The stress came in unexpected
waves: a slow spot in the market - Steve repositioned the marketing - we
found an avid buyer but plumbing and floor joists failed inspection (90
years old house) - Steve found superb plumbers and carpenters to fix
without delaying closing - then the closing! - Steve was there to explain
and monitor the settlement agent. Lots of work for Steve and a reassuring
process for us.

JoJo was a steady presence alongside Keene and Steve. With her experience in renovating homes and eye for design, she couldnāt have been a better fit to work with and have as our guide. She was professional, always had great attention to detail, and was willing to meet and talk anytime. She was a great advocate and truly wanted us to get the right home. After we were under contract she went above and beyond, even helping us pick out and store furniture for our new home before our closing date.
Steve, JoJo & Keene all mesh really well together and it was a wonderful experience working with them. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.They were able to provide insight about the current market conditions and pricing, including excellent advice on how to price and market our home.They were available to answer our calls, emails, and texts during business hours and after hours. They truly helped us find the perfect home for our needs and budget and were always willing to go the extra mile.

The Taylor Agostino Group (TAG) has a long history in the Washington, DC metro area, providing personalized services for thousands of clients in our real estate market. For over 50 years, sellers and buyers alike have been working with this family-based business, which was started by Nancy Taylor in the 1970s. Nancy and her husband, Keene Taylor, grew Taylor Real Estate into a thriving locally-focused independent brokerage firm. In 1989, their son, Keene Taylor Jr, left his technology consulting career to support the expanding operation. As the company grew, they were joined in 1991 by Steve Agostino, who brought a background in urban planning and development to the team.
Keene and Steve became business partners, as well as brothers-in-law, in late 1995, when they bought out Nancy and Keene to become the owners of TRE, Inc. After tremendous growth during the late 1990s and early 2000s, TRE joined forces with the largest independently-owned real estate brokerage in the country, providing clients with an even broader range of services and support. At that point, Keene and Steve formed a powerful sales team as they continued to serve clients as the Taylor Agostino Group.
Over our decades of client service, TAG has become one of the areaās most experienced teams. Combining neighborhood expertise and a strong commitment to ethics and honesty has resulted in tremendous success for our sellers & buyers. Also, other agents know and trust us to be good collaborators on every deal, which really benefits our clients, too. With thousands of home transactions in DC, Maryland and Virginia, TAG remains one of the most knowledgeable and qualified one-stop real estate operations in the Washington DC market. Consistently cited in Washingtonian magazine as a Best in Washington real estate team, you can count on us to meet your needs!
