access_timeSeptember 5, 2016personJoe Facenda

As you may have surmised from reading my blogs, I believe in investment real estate. I have personally invested in Northern Virginia and in markets outside this area. When I went to new markets it took me quite a bit of work to find an investor friendly Realtor in that town. I thought others may […]

What Clients Are Saying

Geri M. We would recommend, and have highly recommended Joe Facenda to friends and family. He is very knowledgeable, creative, friendly, and accessible; and is one of the most honest and up-front real estate agents we have ever used.

John D. Joe Facenda accomplished what I considered impossible by getting a difficult estate sale to closing in two months–at a great price. This included managing extensive home improvements that were accomplished in the short time period. He helped manage all aspects of the sales including home improvement contractors and junk removal. He’s willing to help you with figuring out how to get the tough tasks of a home sale accomplished more easily. He is very good at all aspects of his job and I would recommend anyone talk with him before going with other agents or “investors” who want to buy your home for pennies on the dollar. I would recommend talking with Joe first as he’ll give you the best possible information about how to achieve the best possible outcome for your home or condo sale. He’ll help yo u figure out different options including selling your home as is or which home improvements to consider if you want to. I would go to him first with all home sales including properties that have some special issues or problems. I could not have had this level of success with this property without Joe’s strong work ethic and amazing skills and knowledge.

Dann D. Joe was personable, knowledgeable, and well prepared at our initial interview. The two other realtor that we interviewed we’re far less prepared.

Dan A & Melissa A. said, “We had only just begun learning about home buying when Joe was recommended to us, and within moments of our initial conversation, it was clear we wanted to work with him. His goals of teaching buyers how to make informed purchases, his knowledge of the area and market, and reputation within the industry were exactly what we needed. Before we looked at a single home, Joe sat down with us just to educate and prepare us for the process we’d be going through over the next few months. After looking at several houses, we discussed making an offer on one, and Joe took care of the rest. From working with our loan officer, to making contact with the other agent/seller, to coordinating inspectors and contractors, Joe orchestrated the chaos masterfully. What we appreciated most, was his frequency of communication. He constantly kept us one step ahead, letting us know what to expect, and how to best respond. He truly understood our goals, and it was clear his priority was getting into the right home, not just close the deal. There’s a lot of advice on the internet and popular home buying sites for prospective buyers, and it can all be overwhelming. Joe’s no pressure approach made navigating this process stress free and enjoyable. Joe brought the knowledge from several decades of on the ground experience in the Northern Virginia area that helped us close quickly on the house we are now unpacking to make our new home.”

Kathleen R. said “I can’t thank you enough again for your help. You’ve been so understanding about my problems and complications and made the process much easier to understand.”

Jen N. said “My husband and I recently purchased our first home together. We actually ran into Joe at one of his listings and are so thankful we did. As first time homebuyers, we were focused on staying within a specific budget and location but Joe was always patient with us. Never once pushed us to do anything outside of our comfort zone. We always trusted his experience and wealth of knowledge. He helped us find our first home in the exact location we wanted and we can’t thank him enough. We’ve spoken to other agents in the past but none compare to Joe. As we expand our real estate portfolio in the future, Joe will be our go to agent. We highly recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home. His exceptional professionalism, responsiveness, and expertise sets him apart. We hope to work with you again soon, Joe.”

Mary S. said “Joe was an enormous help to myself and my family when we needed to sell my brothers home. He was very professional and knowledgeable and was very pleasant to work with. He was able to provide a lot of help in getting my brother’s home ready for sale, which was extremely helpful to me being out of state. He was quick in responding to questions and provided us with frequent updates on how the preparations were going. He presented the offers on the home very objectively, listing pros and cons – but not favoring one over the other. There were a number of family members involved in this process, and Joe was great is getting this all coordinated. I am not sure how we would have gotten it all done without his help. I would unconditionally recommend Joe to anyone who is looking for a real estate agent.”

Rajiv A. wrote: I’m still having a few goose bumps thinking of the fact that we now own a house! It’s quite an incredible feeling for a first time home buyer! Praise God for this blessing! It’s indeed humbling to know that we were blessed with a house and also during Christmas;

This house & and the purchase of it couldn’t have been possible without your help/feedback/hard work/excellent communication. We would like to personally thank you for all of that! I know the last two weeks have been tension filled with the loan approval. But you helped us through all that very well. We really felt we picked the perfect realtor for us! Great job, thank you.!!

Carol H wrote: Thank you for helping us find and purchase the condo; it was a pleasure to work with you as our real estate agent. You were able to readily determine our likes, preferences, and needs, and helped find a terrific place for us.

John M wrote: Joe Facenda sold our house in less than a day. Joe is a top notch professional and took the stress out of a normally stressful transaction. He gave us sound advice through the entire process. Joe’s confidence and suburb knowledge of the market was very reassuring. Without question, I would certainly recommend Joe to anyone looking to jump into the real estate pool.

Phil K. wrote: As first-time homebuyers, my wife and I were completely clueless how to begin. We found Joe stumbling around the Internet and he immediately made us more comfortable with the process. Despite asking a million questions, Joe remained patient and mentored us through the sometimes-confusing waters of real estate. Over the course of several months, we would phone or email Joe days, nights, weekends, or holidays. Regardless of the hour, he would respond without delay. If he didn’t have an answer, he wouldn’t make something up, but be absolutely sure of his response in a timely manner. Joe has our upmost reference and our highest regard. If we could give any advice to future buyers, great communication is priceless. Besides being an expert at his craft, communication is Joe’s strongest asset. He genuinely loves what he does for a living and it shows!

Adam C. wrote: I have actually used Joe a number of times to buy and sell real estate over the last 18 years. Joe has been invaluable through the process time and time again. Not only is he an expert in his knowledge of the real estate business and the underlying transactions, he is a great guy to work with. Joe recognizes that buying a home can be one of the most stressful things you can do in life. However his kind, warm, gentle manner is reassuring through the entire process. I can only give him my highest recommendation.

Dennis A. wrote: Joe helped me buy my first home, and then sell that same home 16 years later. While this can be daunting, Joe made expert recommendations that helped me maximize return on investment. He professionally handled the entire process leaving me with a very a quick decision and a very pleasant result. Thanks Joe!

Gazelle S. wrote: Joe helped me buy my first home and then sell that same home almost 10 years later. I felt like I got a good price both buying and selling the house. Joe is a honest and hard working professional who really knows the industry and local market. I valued his knowledge and expertise and would highly recommend him as a realtor.

Rich B wrote: I have worked with Joe in the purchase and sale of personal homes and the same with investment homes which were rented then sold. Joe is a true pro and his advice was always sound. I highly recommend him for any real estate functions in this area.
