Testimonials

Deborah Ramsdell and Grace Puzon

Grace Puzon and I never thought that we would be able to purchase a home. Working with Shirley we were able to far exceed our own expectations. Working with Shirley we were able to not only find the perfect home but close on the home in less than two months. The process had its ups and downs but Shirley was able to hold our hands through the whole thing. When we though about giving up she would call and brighten our day with new information. She went above and beyond what I would have expected of any real-estate agent. And now, even though we have already closed and our living in our home she has kept contact with us. She continues helping us even though we are no longer an obligation. I know for a fact that if any of you out there are looking to buy a home, look no further than this website. Shirley and Ramtien saved us so much headache through this process. I will be thanking them every time I get to walk my dog in this huge yard or do laundry in my brand new laundry room.

Dear Shirley and Ramtin,

Relocating from Southern California to the DC-Metro area is difficult enough. Throwing in the search for and purchase of our first home from 3,000 miles away was the icing on the cake! It would not have been possible without the guidance and support of Shirley and Ramtin! We cannot even begin to put into words all that they did for us. From the very first day when we discussed our unique situation and home preferences, they were extremely helpful! They far exceeded our expectations with their professionalism, integrity and sheer dedication to our every need. As first time home buyers, we found Shirley and Ramtin to be extremely patient in explaining the process to us and answering all of our questions.

Purchasing our first home from afar, Shirley and Ramtin were extremely flexible and accommodating to our situation and compressed schedule. Not only did they make themselves available whenever we were in the area, they graciously took local family members to see potential properties in our absence to help narrow down our selection! This was extremely helpful to us and certainly above and beyond the "call of duty"!

Shirley and Ramtin are extremely knowledgeable and have experience and insight on the housing market across the DC-Metro area. This level of expertise was extremely useful in guiding us to make well-informed and fair-market offers. When we were uncomfortable with a property due to the inspection results, they stood by us, negotiated on our behalf, and ultimately supported our decision to cancel the contract. Throughout this part of the process, we were amazed by their unwavering professionalism and dedication to client service!

They took the time to truly understand our needs and ensure we never settled for something less than what we wanted. They were brutally honest in evaluating and critiquing properties and remained strong advocates for us throughout the process. At times, we were eager to simply find a home as we were on a tight schedule, yet they encouraged us to stick to our guns and wait for the right property to come along. Then, when Shirley and Ramtin found that perfect home for us, they led us through every aspect of the escrow and settlement process inside 3 weeks to meet our desired relocation timeframe. This saved us the cost and burden of moving our household goods twice and dealing with storage! We could not be happier in our first new home and owe it all to Shirley and Ramtin!!!

We highly recommend anyone interested in purchasing a home in the area to reach out to Shirley and Ramtin for all of your home-finding needs! They are superb!!! We look forward to a lasting friendship and working with them again on our next home purchase and sale!!!

Hi Shirley and Ramtin,

This is Cathie, Mike Jeffries' Mom. Just wanted to thank you again for the list of roofers and masons. And, more importantly, I wanted to say thank you for all you did for Bev and Mike. You were so diligent, kind, and patient. I missed seeing you for weeks after they found their new home! It's awesome to watch them planning this next phase of their lives together. We're very happy to be part of all of this and to have them so closeby. Beverly is finishing up her masters, and they are aiming at June 12th to make the big move. In the meantime, I'm spending time over there with paintbrush and roller in hand. I'm sure that I don't work up to your high standards, Shirley! But I love being part of the process. (Especially when there's almost no furniture there!!)

I hope that things are going well for you. Best wishes.

Dear Ramtin and Shirley,

I hope you had great and well deserved Summer Holidays! A month has passed since we moved to our new house and I must tell you for some reason or another you are often mentioned in our family conversations. Although our written appreciation may be late our gratitude will last forever.

I personally count as a blessing to have met you and ?hunt for a house? with you for over a year. We believe there are no coincidences and that ?everything works out for good to those who love God? and this ?experience? was certainly rewarding for all of us. We LOVE our new home and we are glad you helped us to find the right one! It is incredible to realize you only have to choose one.

Your great service and professionalism in real state is evident. We appreciate the hundreds of listings, the e-mails, phone calls and innumerable visits we made together. In a way we do miss going out with you now but look forward to keeping in touch for many years to come. You certainly helped and directed us in making the right decisions and everything you recommended (from mortgage to home insurance companies) did work for us. It was also great to receive your Home Warranty gift!

Buying a house is really an adventure particularly when you are ?first time buyer? in a new country and we believe you made this adventure enjoyable. Be assured we will call you again to search for the next one anytime!

Thanks again for a job well done and your invaluable friendship.

Blessings and best wishes!

When I think of exceptional service, I think of the Nordstrom?s and Ritz-Carlton Hotels of the world. For real estate, however, Ramtin and Shirley set the standard. They both are a joy to work with. From the very beginning, it is clear that getting optimum value for their clients is what drives them. They are more than realtors; Ramtin and Shirley are genuinely concerned about their client?s needs and remain committed to excellence in every interaction. My wife and I strongly recommend Ramtin and Shirley to any current or future homeowners.

I had just recently moved from the Chicago area to Maryland and knew nothing about the area or real estate, ao was very pleased when Shirley and Ramtin insisted on spending time with me to share their expertise on Montgomery County and the different real estate options before we even began looking. They are very professional and so easy to be around, and provided great support throughout the buying process---from identifying a new home to attending the construction walk-throughs and closing. I would definitely recommend Shirley and Ramtin!

Not all agents are created equal!

I couldn't be happier with the professionalism of Ramtin & Shirley. I sought their assistance with selling my house in late Spring. I didn't have the greatest experience with an agent when I purchased my home several years ago, so I was very picky about the agent I chose when I started the selling process. Since selling a home is a challenging endeavor (especially in today's economy), choosing Ramtin & Shirley to be my ambassadors was one of the best decisions of my life. They worked as my agent in every sense of the word throughout this process. Immediately from the onset, they gave me a thorough assessment of the value of my house, suggested ways in which I could increase curb appeal and ultimately the sale price of my home, and explained every step in the home selling process with precision. They were easily accessible, very knowledgeable, brutally honest, and extremely dependable. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, Ramtin & Shirley are marketing gurus. They created impressive fliers, held open houses every weekend, and distributed my housing information to tens of thousands of potential buyers through various outlets. It comes to no surprise that they are among the top real estate agents in the area. If you are ever thinking about buying or selling your home, I wholeheartedly recommend Metro Home Hunters without reservation, not only because you get two agents for the price of one, but because an excellent agent is hard to find.
