“Steven is a phenomenal realtor. He’s very responsive, very well informed on the technical realty questions, and never pressures you to make an offer or decision. He worked in general contracting for years, so he understands construction well. Steven was patient with us, gave us great suggestions on how best to improve the terms of our offer, and now we’re in our dream home. If you’re looking for a smart, savvy, and down to earth realtor, Steven is a great choice.

“My partner and I sincerely couldn’t imagine having worked with anyone besides Ed and The Slavis Group to close on our home. Ed was professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated throughout the entire process, especially considering the challenges we as clients presented with being spread across time zones and not always available for viewings.

Ed and his team went above and beyond to understand our unique needs. Ed visited and recorded homes for us when we weren’t available to view, he was readily available to answer our questions, and provided valuable guidance tailored to our situation.

Ed’s expertise in the local market is unmatched and he ensured we got the best possible deal. I wholeheartedly recommend Ed and The Slavis Group to anyone seeking to work with the best the DMV has to offer. Thank you, Ed, for your outstanding service!

★★★★★”

“If are you buying or selling a home in the DC area, you need Edward representing you. I’ve now done 3 transactions with Edward in NW DC, and he has consistently delivered outstanding results. He knows the market, understands how to be competitive in a challenging environment, and how to close the deal. He’s a strategic thinker, which is essential in a market with multiple bids, cash offers, escalations, waiving contingencies, etc. He is the reason we were able to win our DC house in a highly competitive market (against 7 other bids) and also sell 2 properties above our desired list prices. Highly recommend Edward for both buyer/seller representation.

★★★★★”

“We worked with Edward to purchase a property in January 2024. We knew that he was very knowledgeable about the DC area, but he also has significant experience and insights about the surrounding VA and MD areas as well. He assisted us at every step of the process and gave us great counsel and strategic advice about how to bid, how to win, and how to work through the settlement process. And he spent tons of time and energy helping us work through some repairs we had to get done. Could not recommend more highly!

★★★★★”

“I’m incredibly pleased with the service I received from Steven Chen for my home purchase. The home buying process can be daunting, but Steven guided us through the ENTIRE process, no question considered dumb, no issue considered small, he helped us feel like we were experts and helped us feel at home with our decision. He works harder than anyone in the business and it shows. You can not go wrong with Steven as your advocate and agent.

★★★★★”

“Steven’s ability to listen to what we wanted and needed sets him apart. He works with remarkable speed, yet never misses a detail, and his advice during the price negotiation was invaluable, helping us secure our dream home at a fantastic price. Choosing Steven as our Realtor was a great decision. If you’re in the market for a new home, do yourself a favor and get in touch with Steven. You won’t be disappointed!

★★★★★”

“I had a lot on my plate during the sale, and Steven was helpful, patient and available for any questions. We got a good price in a good time frame, both of which were important and he was excellent in navigating routine and non-routine details.

★★★★★”

“I absolutely had a wonderful experience working with The Slavis Group! Edward was very responsive and always available whenever I had questions come up throughout the period. I received very informative advice on what areas to consider, working with lenders, conducting the inspections etc. It was a seamless experience for me and I felt supported while going through the entire period and the experience was tailored to my needs. I highly recommend them and would definitely work with them in the future!

★★★★★”

“We engaged Edward to broker the sale of our DC condo after we moved to the West Coast, and he did an excellent job! What particularly stood out was his constant attention and his high level of communication - even from three time zones away. When we faced a last-minute problem with the seller’s financing, he helped us craft a solution that satisfied all parties and allowed the sale to go through. As a result, we got our place sold within weeks at a price we were happy with, despite the sluggish market. What a difference from our last house sale!

★★★★★”

“Edward Slavis and his team have helped me buy once and sell twice. For all three transactions he gave me great advice that helped me make more money. His team also works hard to make the sale and purchase process as smooth as possible through regular, friendly communication. I cannot recommend Slavis Group highly enough.

★★★★★”

“Edward and The Slavis Group know the market and were able to help our clients sell their property at a fair price in a tough market.

★★★★★”

“Steven did a great job representing me as the seller. He was communicative and knowledgeable about the process. We had multiple offers within 2 weeks of posting and closed immediately after.

★★★★★”

“Steven recently sold my condo in Arlington. I was so impressed by his professionalism, and he was a pleasure to work with every step of the way! He sent timely communications and went above and beyond to get the place ready to sell (tips, as well as arranging for handyman work). Steve made me feel at ease with the entire sales process.


★★★★★”

“Working with Steven as our realtor was an absolute pleasure! His expertise and professionalism truly shone throughout the entire process. His negotiation skills were truly top-notch, resulting in an amazing deal for us. We wholeheartedly recommend Steven for a seamless and enjoyable real estate journey. He’s simply the best!


★★★★★”

“Steven Chen is a wonderful Real Estate Agent! He was very patient with me, and listened to every little thing I said, and addressed concerns with honest commentary. He didn’t push me to make any purchases I was uncomfortable with, and provided key insight into the market so I could make decent offers that secured my current home! I would definitely recommend him on this basis to anyone needing a reliable agent for this area!

“My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Ed Slavis as our realtor, and we couldn’t be more happy with the level of service and expertise he provided throughout the entire home buying process. From when we first talked with Ed, he understood what we were looking for and genuinely cared about helping us find the perfect home. Ed’s knowledge of the local real estate market and how to best achieve a winning offer was exceptional. Ed thought outside the box in order to ensure we could utilize our VA loan, without presenting it as a risk to the sellers. His attention to detail and thoroughness throughout the entire process ensured that we had all the information necessary to make informed decisions. Throughout the closing process, Ed was incredibly organized and proactive. He stayed on top of deadlines, coordinated with us, and ensured a smooth transaction from start to finish. Ed had to work with the VA inspector and ensure required improvements were made before closing and to the satisfaction of the inspector. This made the experience much easier for us since we were 500 miles away. I highly recommend Ed to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and trustworthy realtor. He exceeded our expectations and made the entire home buying experience enjoyable and stress-free. His passion for helping people find their dream homes is evident in his work, and we’re grateful to have had him as our realtor.

★★★★★”

“Steven is an exceptional real estate agent who recently sold our house in an incredibly short amount of time. We were absolutely amazed by his dedication, expertise, and the outstanding results he achieved for us. What truly stood out to us was Steven’s remarkable ability to get our house sold in just one day. We had never expected such a quick turnaround, but Steven’s strategic approach and extensive network of potential buyers made it possible. His marketing tactics were top-notch, attracting a flood of interested parties and generating significant buzz around our property.

★★★★★”

“When my family and I needed to relocate from Japan to the Washington D.C. area, we turned to the Slavis Group to help us find a home from 13 time zones away. Needless to say, Edward and his team did a phenomenal job. Edward is a realtor who knows the area, knows the market, and has a wide array of connections. Furthermore, he brings an energy and work ethic that are second to none, often conducting video conferences with us at odd hours and on his personal time. He helped us navigate a hot market and ensured that we landed the home we were looking for without overpaying. Additionally, he helped us find a mortgage broker, home insurance policy and title company to fit our family’s needs. If you are looking to purchase a home in D.C. or the surrounding area, I highly recommend Edward and his team!

★★★★★”

“I had the pleasure of working with Steven when my family relocated to Maryland from Chicago. Although, we were able to find our rental without his assistance, we kept in contact so when we were ready to buy a home we knew who to call. Steven helped us navigate the challenging real estate market and we were able to purchase our first home in Maryland last month. He was extremely reliable and communicated with us every step of the way. His professionalism was apparent in his interactions with other agents and our lender. His background in construction also sets him apart and he is able to offer great ideas and advice. It is clear that he cares about his clients and the relationships he has built and we look forward to continuing to keep in touch.

★★★★★”

“Whether you are moving locally or new to the DMV, we would absolutely recommend Steven to anyone looking to either buy or rent. He has now helped us find both a rental and a home to purchase and both experiences were amazing. He is very communicative, always quick to respond, and truly has our best interests at heart. We definitely could not have purchased our first home together without him and really appreciate his hard work, advice, and support throughout the process!

★★★★★”

“Edward and his team recently assisted in selling my home. Edward kept me informed on a daily basis as to the status of the sale and was always very prompt and professional in responding to my many questions. I was thankful to have he and his team and my side and would highly recommend them.

★★★★★”

“Working with Steven Chen has been a very delightful experience. I have never worked with a realtor who is so thorough with his work by making sure every part of the process is handled with professionalism, accuracy, and in the absolute best interest of the client. He understands the business and is extremely resourceful with clients’ needs and desires. He is an excellent communicator and works hard to understand what you are looking for in purchasing your home, and gets you set up for success in achieving the home you desire.

★★★★★”

“Edward and his staff made the process of selling our home as seamless as we could have hoped for. He gave us an accurate assessment of the value of our home, and did a tremendous job in helping us prepare the home for sale. They arranged contractors and staging with only minimaI effort on our part. Edward was also an invaluable guide through the process of considering offers and negotiating the final sale. I highly recommend The Slavis Group to anyone selling their home.

★★★★★”

“Selling a home is a major decision; and as seniors, we pondered hard and finally decided it was time to move on. Having made that choice, we reached out to several agents, and were blessed to meet and retain Edward Slavis as our real estate agent. The rest is history…we could not have made a better choice.

Edward listened to what we wanted. He shared observations on what was currently taking place in the DC market, and provided recommendations based on his professional expertise. We found him to be well-prepared and very honest in helping us to price and market our home to attract potential buyers. Throughout the process, Edward kept us informed and there was never a time that we felt excluded. From start to finish, Edward navigated the selling process for our home and enabled us to close the sale quickly and to our satisfaction.

Edward made what could have been a difficult process for us to be seamless, we highly recommend him.

★★★★★”

“Edward did an amazing job helping us buy our first home in NW DC. He is a very experienced real estate agent, has a good understanding of home construction, is an excellent negotiator, and is a very clear and concise communicator. We would highly recommend you go with him!

We were looking to buy a home within walking distance of our neighborhood school. Edward pointed out that in the few years prior, only a handful of homes that met all our criteria would have sold each year. Edward suggested contacting people who lived in our area of interest by letter to see if anyone was interested in selling their home off market. When we decided to go ahead with this approach he hand wrote letters to multiple homes and managed to find an interested seller. We were very impressed by Edward’s ability in brokering this deal and providing us with excellent advice along the way.

Edward was quick to earn our trust - he lays out all of the information in front of you, good or bad, makes a suggestion and was very clear that the decision was ours to make. We did not feel pushed or rushed by him in any way. He was very prompt in his responses and was very easy to reach via text/phone. We learned a lot on our tours with him and he pointed out many things that we hadn’t noticed that would impact the value of the home.

★★★★★”

“Edward and his team at The Slavis Group did a great job both selling my old place and helping me buy a new one. Edward has lived many years in the DMV area and is knowledgeable about the local real estate market; that’s a given. But his operational acumen sets him apart. He walks through thoughtful and researched analyses and strategies with his client, exhibiting patience in explaining and the sang-froid of the Marine officer, combat veteran he is. Throughout, he remains responsive to the client’s needs and wishes. Whether buying or selling, you are in good hands with Edward and his team!

★★★★★”

“I can’t say enough great things about the experience we had working with Edward and his staff at the Slavis Group from beginning to end. They make the process easy and understandable and their communication on all aspects is like no other office we have ever dealt with in 30 years of real estate transactions. If you are on the fence about the Slavis Group versus another office, I would highly encourage you to choose them. You won’t regret your decision.

★★★★★”

“I emphatically recommend Edward; he is an amazing realtor. I was in the very stressful position of selling our Washington, DC condo while overseas, working 6 days a week, and having to complete the transaction with a POA. Edward made everything so easy. After our first conversation, he provided a thoughtful and thorough market analysis coupled with a logical plan to price the unit and prepare it for sale. We had an offer at full asking price within 3 days. Additionally, due to my special circumstances of being remote with a 9.5 hour time change, Edward went above and beyond to assist with things I could not complete in person. He is honest, straightforward, and clearly is an expert in his field. I highly recommend working with him!

★★★★★”

“Great experience with Edward. We have used him multiple times on the buy and sell side and he is always professional and proactive. Would recommend his team to anyone!

★★★★★”

“Ed Slavis provided exceptional service in the purchase of my new home. This is the second home I have purchased with Ed and I was reminded of how invaluable his knowledge of the market, and his attention to detail are in making the purchase of a home seamless. This purchase was complicated by the fact that my wife and I are stationed overseas and conducted this entire transaction online and through Skype/Whatsapp calls. The 5 hour time difference I thought would be a greater hindrance, however Ed made himself and his team available to facilitate this purchase across this difficult time difference. Ed is an incredible asset for any one looking to buy or sell their home. I have purchased two homes and sold one, all with Ed’s help and guidance, and I cannot speak highly enough about the professionalism, expertise, and service that Ed and his team bring to their customers.

★★★★★”

“I was struggling to find a home in a crazy hot market. Houses that showed up on the market at 08:00 were under contract by noon — in all cash deals at well over asking price and one-week closings. I wasn’t bringing all cash to the table. I worked with two other agents and looked at literally hundreds of homes before someone referred me to Edward Slavis at the Slavis Group, eXp Realty. In less than 20 days I found my home, settled and moved in! Not only did Edward make it possible, he and his team made it seamless and stress free.

First, there was a long list of would-be buyers for this house even before the house hit the market. Edward got me in to see the house shortly after it went live and within 24 hours had prepared and submitted a very strategic bid package. I have worked with a lot of great real estate agents over the years and never ever have I seen one craft a “bidding strategy” the way Edward did. My bid was selected later that day over five other bidders.

Next, Edward connected me to the most outstanding mortgage broker I have ever worked with. Personable, a great communicator, well-organized with strong follow-through and FAST. We closed in 10 days.

Concurrent with all of the closing documents, Edward’s team supported me with all of the information and contact details I needed to get my new home up and running — from the home owner’s association to utilities, to connecting with the county. Edward’s office uses a tech platform that helped me stay organized on my own time and quick personal check-ins to see if there was anything else I needed.

After seven long months of looking, I am home — with much thanks to Edward. The fact that it was such a painless experience is a credit to both Edward and his entire team.

I hope you find this helpful, and I home you find the home of your dreams too.

★★★★★”

“During our home search Edward crafted a winning offer among multiple bids. His clauses stand out with sellers. Then when a last minute question on our loan application threatened our closing date he was able to find a solution that was simpler for us and preserved our great loan terms. Lots of Realtors can show you properties, but you want Edward when you need someone to get you across the line. Because of him I can write this review from our new house!

★★★★★”

“Edward Slavis represented us in our search for a single family home in the DMV area during the fall and winter of 2021. We were looking for a 4+BR, open concept, single-family home with enough space for two home offices, a dedicated gym space, and an outdoor are for 2(+) Great Danes as well as room to entertain. We also wanted to be inside the beltway or as close/commutable to D.C. as possible. We were willing to make some improvements over time, but were not considering “fixer-uppers” and teardowns. Our budget, given the limited inventory and impending rising interest rates was... we’ll say... optimistic. Early in the process, Edward and his team urged us to be patient and to really become familiar with the areas we wanted to focus on. We visited dozens of houses, and Edward never failed to set up a showing. He was open-minded and optimistic about our chances. He didn’t discourage our curiosity about a particularly quirky custom-built short sale, but cautioned us on the risks. He entertained our foray into townhome developments and provided sage council on structuring offers in a competitive buyer’s market. His home inspector saved us from the disaster of a $1M+ mistake. We ultimately submitted three offers before we finally found our “Goldilocks” home: 5 bedrooms plus a dedicated gym room and main floor home office with over an acre for the dogs and a 20 minute commute to the Pentagon. Again, the inspection gave us everything we needed to know about issues that might arise. And most importantly, Edward and his finance partner ran a shrewd negotiation to beat out another very motivated buyer. We honestly could not be any happier with the result! I’ve had agents who merely facilitated the paperwork and I’ve had agents who steered me the wrong way to try to line their own pockets. If you’re looking for a results-driven agent who will guide and advise you patiently and save the pressure for the folks on the other side of the table in order to seal the best possible deal for you, then Edward is a fantastic choice.

★★★★★”

“We loved working with Edward to find our new home in DC! Despite expecting it to take months, we were able to find a condo we loved within a week of looking at properties with Edward. We trusted his judgement completely and appreciated all the effort he put into negotiating fair terms for us with the seller’s agent. He also was great at explaining the entire home-buying process, so we knew what to expect. He was also able to recommend a great contractor to get new flooring in our new home! We highly recommend Edward!

★★★★★”

“When I told a friend that we were looking to sell our condo he strongly recommended I talk to Edward Slavis who had been excellent to work with. Edward did an excellent market analysis which helped us make decisions about the level of painting and remodeling we would do prior to selling. Due to the excellent analysis and recommendations provided by Edward we were able to sell our condo for a higher price and more than recoup the cost of our upgrades. Edward was excellent to work with. Always very timely and took care of all the details. I would highly recommend Edward Slavis

★★★★★”

“Working with Edward on selling my house was smooth and seamless. He was highly responsive, and very honest through the entire process which resulted in an above asking price offer on my condo the first week on the market. I would highly recommend Edward to anyone looking for a realtor, particularly in the Columbia Heights/Petworth/Park View area, where he has a lot of local market expertise.

★★★★★”

“Edward is a truly outstanding agent. He helped us find and purchase our dream home and sell our old condo, all under the challenging conditions of the pandemic. Throughout the process, we were impressed with his deep knowledge of the DC market, skillful and efficient management of every aspect of the process, and excellent communication skills. Even after closing, he went above and beyond to help us arrange contractors to get our new home into shape. Plus, he’s just a great guy. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

★★★★★”

“Edward is the best. He helped us navigate the process of buying our first home and showed enormous thoughtfulness, patience, and market insight. It was a true pleasure to work with him!

★★★★★”

“Looking for help in buying a home in DC? I have just the person and team to recommend. As a first-time homebuyer, I was looking for someone to help me better understand the ins and outs of the DC property market, assist in identifying properties that met my search criteria, and walk alongside me throughout the buying process once I found what I was looking for. Edward Slavis was able to do all of that and more. His generosity in sharing in his wealth of knowledge, patience in answering the multitude of questions I had, as well as addressing any concerns that came up in a timely manner along the way are only some of the many qualities I appreciated in having Edward on my team. Many thanks to Edward and his team for being a part of mine!

★★★★★”

“Edward was a wonderful broker. We are first time homebuyers, had a lot of questions, and took a few tries to figure out exactly what we wanted. We saw a wide range of properties, and Edward was always available to show us the place quickly. He has fantastic connections to complement the process, introduced us to a builder for potential renovation projects and has a lot of first hand knowledge himself. We were looking for something where we could invest some sweat equity, and Edward helped us to understand what was worth it, how much it might cost, and when we should pass. Very highly recommended!

★★★★★”

“Edward is the finest residential broker we’ve ever worked with, hands down. His knowledge of the city is unparalleled, and his attention to detail keen. After one conversation he knew exactly what we wanted and then did everything possible to ensure we would get the house we wanted. Cannot recommend highly enough.

★★★★★”

“Edward Slavis helped me purchase a home over 5 years ago. At the time I was stationed outside of the NCR and Ed helped me search for, visit and negotiate the purchase of a home all while I was living in Texas. Three years later I was re-stationed and Ed managed my property for me. Twice we had clients who had to leave early for personnel/professional reasons and Ed was able to find a new tenant without ever missing a month of rent. I never had to lift a finger as Ed and his team always took care of everything and always gave me plenty of information to make good decisions. Recently I decided to sell and Ed and his team once again stepped up. In less than 6 weeks, we had tenants moved out, the place cleaned/fixed up, staged, listed, shown, offer accepted and closed! Once again, I never lifted a finger while Ed and his time expertly took care of EVERY aspect of the transaction. I could not be more grateful for Ed and his team who are consummate professionals and help you during a very stressful situation. I could not recommend him any higher and hope allow Ed to represent you during any real estate transaction.

★★★★★”

“Ed Slavis and his team at S&G Realty took excellent care of me as I sold my old home in DC and bought a new one — even in the middle of a pandemic! Ed answered all my questions patiently and helped me successfully navigate a challenging market. Highly recommended!

★★★★★”

“This is not our first time using Edward. After having such a good experience buying a condo in D.C. with Edward’s assistance, we decided to use him again while selling a condo in Adams Morgan this April. Prior to selling, we were renting the condo to a tenant who’s lease was expiring at the end of March. Just as our tenant moved out, the pandemic (COVID-19) reached D.C. to potentially put a damper on our plans to sell. After many discussions with Edward, he advised us to list our condo even with the Stay-At-Home Order and we are so glad that we took his advice. We listed our place on a Friday and by Sunday we had 3 offers. We accepted an offer above asking and just finished settlement last week. Thank you Edward for your knowledge of the market and wonderful advice!

★★★★★”

“Edward got us a deal on our dream house that we are getting kudos for from neighbors we have never met before. We got more than we expected and we paid less than we were planning on. Ed was great at helping us get what we wanted when we knew what we were looking for and helping us to figure out what we wanted when we didn’t know. A plus five star service.

★★★★★”

“Edward is the consummate professional - not only knowledgeable about the local area, processes (for both new construction and existing house purchase) but does so in a manner that makes all feel good about a complex and daunting life event.

During our period of looking for and purchasing a house - my family underwent extreme changes with a new job, new marriage and a new baby....all within timeframes too close to maintain sanity. Edward made the house buying process seamless to us so that we could concentrate on life. Thank you.

★★★★★”

“Ed Slavis was AMAZING!

This was my first home sale and he helped me thru the process of selling my home from the very beginning, walking me thru each step that was going to take place.

He took the time to really understand my little neighborhood in Arlington VA and he took extra care to get to know the details of my house. Let me tell you, I had a 100 year old home that has some quarks and challenges. Ed noticed these immediately and we talked about how we can sell the home around those challenges. We made a few adjustments along the way to make the help the buyers over come these quarks.

In the end I fell like I got a great price for my home and would be HAPPY to work with Ed again, and truly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor.

★★★★★”

“Edward is simply a great agent who is very pleasant to work with. He helped me buy my first home and negotiate everything I wanted. He was particularly responsive to all of my request to see properties and made sure I was in a good position to make an offer when I found the right place. I cannot say enough good things about Edward Slavis-I highly recommend him if you buying a new home in DC!

★★★★★”

“Choosing Edward Slavis as our realtor was the single best decision we made when we planned to sell our condominium in Alexandria, VA. If you are thinking about selling your home or condo in the D.C. region, you should contact Edward and look no further.

Throughout the process Edward demonstrated his local knowledge, responsiveness, and pure skill to get us the best possible deal. Edward worked quickly to have our home prepared and listed while offering us expert advice. He is clearly skilled in his craft. In the end, our home was on the market for one week, we received 5 offers above asking price (in November!) and our condominium sold for a record price. Did I mention that we were in Japan throughout the process and conducted all our communications across a 13-hour time difference?

We trusted Edward as a former Marine and based on recommendations we read about him. My wife and I always felt he was in our corner and his advice could be relied upon. If you are reading this, wondering about the market, or who to choose, you will not be disappointed. We fully recommend Edward Slavis of S&G Realty for your next home sale or purchase.

★★★★★”

“I cannot say enough good things about Edward and his team. As a first-time homebuyer at age 47, I was a bit skittish about the whole process. Edward was patient and explained things as many times as I needed to hear them. We made offers on three houses before finding the final one on which we were able to close. Each time was a bit of a disappointment, but I learned a lot from Edward and his team in the process. Rather than going with one of the big firms, I looked for a local real estate profession who took their time and represented my needs. Edward Slavis exceeded all my expectations and I will work with him again should I ever buy another home.

★★★★★”

“Edward was recommended to me by a family member when I moved to DC from New York. He explained the DC housing market to me and was unfailingly helpful and supportive as I sorted through my various options.
I very much appreciated his willingness to discuss the pros and cons of the condos we saw without ever pushing me in any way. He is detail-oriented, knowledgeable and very responsive. And he is a pleasure to be around. I would recommend him without hesitation.

★★★★★”

“I would gladly recommend Edward to anyone looking to sell their home. Edward and his team were incredibly helpful in the selling of my home. I have moved overseas and was worried about the process of selling the property without being present. Edward and his team handled the showings all while keeping me in the loop while living in England. Their professionalism and ability to handle the challenge of having a client overseas with a 5 hour time difference makes it very easy for me to highly recommend Edward.

★★★★★”

“Michael was awesome to work with, from our very first meeting through the search, closing, and move-in. He was friendly and warm, immediately putting me at ease as a first time homebuyer. He explained the market, listened attentively to what I wanted, and responded quickly when I changed my timeline a few weeks after our initial conversations. He found places that met all of my requirements, was patient and provided a good sounding board as we visited them, even visited some without me when I had to work, and then helped me understand next steps when I picked the one. I really appreciated his thorough and understanding approach. He was never pushy, didn’t try to oversell me, and gave me the space I needed to make this big decision. I wouldn’t have wanted to work with anyone else!
I highly recommend Michael Sebastiani and everyone else at The Slavis Group. They were absolutely a pleasure to work with in a tough market and on a shortened timeline.

★★★★★”

“My husband and I are first-time homebuyers and met Edward for the first time several months before ultimately purchasing our home. He took time to sit down with us and walk through the entire home-buying process — from pre-approval and down payment assistance programs to house hunting and closing costs. It was tremendously helpful and gave us enough confidence to move forward with him as our realtor. When it came time to start looking, Edward would always make time for us on the weekends to do showings, sometimes spending an hour-plus at a property going over the details we should be considering before deciding to make an offer. We finally found a home that matched our must-have list and Edward helped us make a competitive and winning offer. And when our accelerated closing process occurred during a long-planned overseas vacation of his, he made sure we were in good hands with his colleague Anthony. Both of them were extremely responsive throughout the process and have continued to be helpful after closing. We will be recommending Edward and his team to all of our friends in the future!

★★★★★”

““Anthony is AMAZING!! Very attentive to my needs, wants, and desires. From Day One, Anthony was a great listener and honed in on what I was looking for in a home. He guided me along every step of the way and went above and beyond my expectations! My phone calls, texts, and emails were always replied instantaneously. He was available at all hours, day or night. I’d recommend Anthony to anyone needing a first-class real estate professional. He did a superb job negotiating with the seller’s agent to get us from offer to close. He even kept his cool when the seller’s agent got rude and pushy. He helped close the deal with zero problems. The purchase couldn’t have been much easier, from my perspective. I would highly recommend him and will use him again in the future!”

★★★★★”

“Edward and his team worked with us for almost two years as we looked for the right condo in DC. Throughout the process they were patient, knowledgeable and a real pleasure to work with. We are first-time homebuyers who wanted something pretty specific and Edward took the time to understand our priorities and guide us through every step of the process. We particularly appreciated his advice on negotiating strategies in a very competitive market. We ended up getting the property even though there was a higher offer. We would absolutely recommend Edward and his team.

★★★★★”

“Anthony has played an instrumental part in my first home purchase. He is detail oriented, kind, and always willing to go above and beyond for his client. I appreciate someone that responds quickly. Whenever I had question about a property, he would reply immediately- he is also available through multiple channels. I would strongly recommend him for any real estate related needs.

★★★★★”

“Edward helped my wife and I purchase our first home in Washington, D.C. and we were incredibly impressed by his customer service and expertise. From the beginning, Edward sat down with us to explain the complicated process of buying a home. Although we were not aggressive homebuyers, Edward remained patient with us and continued to share with us homes that might fit our family needs. When we found the one we loved, Edward worked tirelessly to create a powerful offer that was accepted. As Edward always explained, it is not about the highest offer but the STRONGEST offer. And even though he was across the country on a personal vacation, he was incredibly responsive and made sure our offer was accepted amongst nearly a dozen others. During the contract phase, Edward was diligent in making sure we had everything we needed and assisted us throughout the closing process. Even after the purchase of our home, Edward has remained in touch to ensure a seamless transition as we work with general contractors to make the house our home. Thank you Edward and group!

“My wife and I worked with Edward and Anthony to buy our condo in Capital Hill in November. We were considering not having an agent since it was new construction but we are glad that we used Edward and his team.
The building was almost sold out and Edward negotiated a deal that was under the list price. During the open house, there was a table that we really liked and Edward managed to work that table into the deal which was a huge bonus for my wife. He helped us through the home inspection and pointed out items that we would not have picked up on.
We also used Edward to try sell our current condo. Before we listed he told us that December was not the best time to sell and that there was a chance that we would not get the offer we were looking for. After about 3 weeks on the market we decided to rent our condo and Edward was completely supportive of the decision. He even offered to help securing the tenant.
Overall, Edward is a professional, very knowledgeable of the current status of the market and he truly wants the best for his clients.

“Edward guided us through all of the steps of the home buying process, dropping everything to go to last minute showings, finding an exceptionally thorough inspector, negotiating an amazing deal for us, and when our home buying process turned Kafkaesque due to hidden issues in the seller’s side, Edward and his team navigated the situation carefully, providing us such regular updates. We relied on Edward’s recommendations for choosing our lender, and we would not have our home now if not for the work that lender put into resolving the seller’s situation. Edward also provided excellent recommendations for contractors to help us get the home move-in ready, all of whom were helpful, fast, and thorough. I can’t imagine what would have happened if we’d gone with anyone else.

“My husband and I worked with Edward and his team to sell her townhouse, as we needed more space for a growing family. He not only helped us sell but he assisted us in buying our new home. We really can’t thank him enough for everything they did for us. His knowledge, responsiveness and overall attention to detail just cannot be matched. I would recommend him and his team in a heartbeat, the process couldn’t have gone any smoother and we are in love with our new home.

““We worked with Edward to buy our first home this past spring in northwest DC and can’t recommend him strongly enough, particularly for first time home buyers. As we got into the market, we didn’t know what to expect, what questions to ask, or whether our expectations were realistic. Edward was patient, walking through many, many houses with us over the months. He was excellent at helping us balance the pros and cons of each in a way that never felt like he was trying to push anything on us. He also got us comfortable with the idea of taking on some renovation projects, which really helped overcome anxiety and open up possibilities. What really impressed us, though, was how he helped us once we found our home. To get the house, he moved aggressively and had us do all the little things he could think of, and we were able to beat out five other offers as a result. From there, he connected us with fantastic contractors to carry out some renovation work and was in regular contact with us and the contractors to facilitate a smooth process. Overall, Edward is a total professional, deeply knowledgeable and helpful, a strong negotiator, and just a good person to work with.”

“Edward was recommended to us by a friend, and we are really glad that he represented us for the sale of our townhouse in Springfield, VA. We were moving cross-country, and Edward did an excellent job handling repairs, getting the house painted, and staging it beautifully. We cannot emphasize how fabulous the staging was - we could hardly recognize our own house, and we thought it really brought out the home’s positive attributes. The house went on the market on Thursday and we had a great offer by Sunday. Edward explained all of the nuances and steps associated with closing, and enabled closing to happen within a month of us receiving the offer. Edward was always responsive and we felt that he adapted to our desired amount of communication, which we appreciated.
Our neighbor was selling his house around the same time as us and his took a lot longer to sell and sold for less. We thought Edward did a fantastic job of pricing, marketing, and selling the place. We spoke to a few other agents before going with Edward, and are confident that other agents would not have been able to ensure a sale at the price we got in the timeframe that Edward did.

“Ed and his team were incredibly helpful in the sale of our DC house, and handled all aspects of the sale for us, since we could not be in town to supervise it. From the moment we started talking aboutputting our house on the market, Ed made sure that we were well informed, not only about what to expect from the process, but also about what he and his team would be doing at each step of the way. Communication was clear, concise, and exhaustive - at no point did we have any doubts as to what was going on. His estimate was spot on, and led to a very quick and satisfying sale. Thanks to Ed’s negotiation skills and knowledge of the local market, we were able to sell our house fast and above list price. We will most definitely be using his team for our next purchase.

“As first time homebuyers, we needed a Real Estate Agent who not only knew the local market, but who would also be available to answer the countless questions that were sure to arise throughout the process. Edward Slavis was that agent, and so much more. From our first chance meeting, Edward took the time to get to know us and our home needs. Edward’s keen eye for detail and understanding of home construction helped us immensely as we toured homes and weighed the pros and cons of each. Edward never tried to pressure us into buying a home that was not right for us; it was clear from the outset that Edward wanted us to buy the house that was perfect for us, no matter how long that took. We are so grateful for his patience, but also his dogged determination to secure us a winning offer when the opportunity presented itself. When we did finally find the home of our dreams, Edward managed to put our offer together in record time. In addition to Edward’s skill as our agent, his vast network of home inspectors, contractors, and tradespeople took all the guesswork out of our small home renovation. We feel so fortunate for all that Edward did for us throughout the homebuying process and we recommend him without reservation. Hopefully we will not be in the market for a new home for quite some time, but when we are, we know who we will be calling!

“Edward was recently my realtor and I had a great experience. What I enjoyed about Edward the most was his ability to share his experiences and his expertise on all things about a home. Whether it be the quality of the appliances, the workmanship in a home, and/or ability to articulate the nuances of architecting/building a home. He was persistent, extremely patient, and never got frustrated with me, given I was so picky! While being my realtor, he also became a friend, and someone that I would highly recommend working with if in need of a realtor. Edward also always opened up his network to me if needed. Whether that was working with other realtors that he knew had experiences in something I was asking about, or sharing his contractor relationships to allow me to get expert feedback. That’s what I found really set Edward apart. He wasn’t just looking to make a sale, but he was looking to be a helpful resource for anything I may need. I highly recommend working with Edward, because you get more than just a realtor, you get a network of relationships and institutional knowledge!

“Look no further - Edward is the agent you want on your side for whatever real estate requirement you have. Edward was our agent during our recent house hunt in northern Virginia. He accompanied us to about a dozen different properties, always prepared to give us his expert observations and professional input about each one. We ultimately found a home in McLean, VA, and Edward helped us negotiate an excellent price.

Edward is honest and straightforward with his input during the home buying process. As his clients, you will benefit from his experience in the local market. During our recent house hunt, he pointed out things in homes that we would have never noticed, which helped us in our decision-making process and, ultimately, in negotiations over the buying price.

Edward will listen to your needs and understand what you are looking for in a home. He is easy going, smart, and thorough in his work. You will feel comfortable that you are in good hands, and will never feel like you are being neglected as a customer.

We highly recommend Edward and are absolutely sure that you will have an equally positive experience.

“We are delighted to write this review for Edward, who helped us to purchase our first home. Edward has three qualities in particular that make him an exceptional realtor: he is knowledgeable, he is reliable, and he is transparent. Edward worked diligently with us from day one, and was always prompt and courteous in his dealings. Although we know Edward has other clients, he made us feel like we were his top priority. Edward also went above and beyond in many ways, and quickly helped us secure estimates for work we are having done before we move in. He knows a lot about what goes into a house, and is always willing to offer candid advice. And if he doesn’t know something, he says so and does his research.

But apart from Edward’s outstanding professional qualities, he is also just an awesome guy. He has a great sense of humor and really put us at ease throughout the whole process. This was our first time navigating DC’s insane housing market, and Edward was there with us through the highs and the lows. Working with Edward not only helped us to find our perfect first home, but we also walked away with a friend. We couldn’t recommend him highly enough!

“Working with Edward Slavis has been an extraordinary experience hands down! I started searching for my home at 7 months pregnant. Edward was the primary force in finding my perfect home, for the best price, and closing on my home days before my baby’s due date. The first time home buying experience can be very stressful and highly emotional. Now couple that with a very determined, hormonal, pregnant woman; can you imagine?

Nonetheless, Edward was there for me every step of the way. He went above and beyond to ensure I was well educated and well informed. His patience, professionalism, persistence, and positive attitude made my dream come true.

Thank you Edward Slavis

“Edward represented us in the purchase of our first home, and we cannot recommend him more highly. Edward is extremely reliable and knowledgeable. He also has amazing attention to detail, and can identify a house’s strengths and weaknesses that are not obvious to the average home buyer. You need someone who is truly in your corner and has your best interests in mind. That is Edward. He never allows his clients to settle or compromise on what’s truly important to them. He also takes time out of his busy schedule to check out homes for you (sending photos and scheduling debriefing phone calls) and is available at any time and at all stages of the house buying process. We couldn’t more grateful for Edward, and what he did for us to get our dream home.

★★★★★”

“Edward is not only an amazing realtor, but a friend for life. Being in the military and moving every few years is hard. Buying a house while your husband is underwater on a submarine with no communication ability, and a newborn baby, adds so much stress! Edward walked me through every step of the process, from helping me access required information for the financing to the home inspection, there is no way we would have closed smoothly without him. He not only got us a good deal but went way above and beyond. He earned every penny he made from us. #1realtor #5stars
