Join me as we explore the heartwarming experiences and valuable lessons learned, helping you navigate your own real estate adventure.

First Time Home Buyer

Brenda had been looking to buy her first home for a while. She had used several agents, but it had not worked out. When we first connected, she was a little discouraged and wasn’t sure if it was ever going to happen! I took the time to really listen to what she was looking for in a home. I told her it’s a tough marker right now, but with the right game plan and some patience we were going to make it happen. It took us about a year and several offers written, but she ended up with the perfect home for her family. I loved getting to know her, and we had a few laughs along the way!

The following sums up her experience in her own words: “My amazing Mama Paula, words cannot express how grateful I am to have had Paula by my side throughout my first home-buying journey. Paula was my third realtor, and for a moment, I questioned if I was the problem (haha). She immediately showed me I was not. The amount of patience Paula showed me was much appreciated. She walked me through the process as if she had known me for years and ensured I was comfortable every step of the way. It took us about a year, and she never gave up on me. She is knowledgeable and never made me feel any sort of pressure. I will definitely use Paula again in the future and recommend her to anyone who needs a realtor.”

Out of State Buyers

I was connected to Edward through a lender that I work with. He and his family were moving to the Northern Virginia area from the Midwest. They were only able to come to the area once to look for homes. I dedicated the weekend to them and over the course of 3 days, we saw about 15 houses! I know that’s a lot! Not the norm, but I really wanted them to get a sense of the different neighborhoods in the area. None of those worked out, but there were several other homes over the course of the next few weeks that interested them. Since they couldn’t make another trip here, I walked through the houses, narrating as we did virtual tours. They found a beautiful home that fit their needs. I truly enjoyed working with this family!

Check out his testimonial: “Paula was very helpful and attentive. She made the buying process as stress free as possible. We were buying a house in Northern Virginia while living in Saint Louis, MO and Paula went above and beyond to make sure we got the house we wanted and that everything was completed on time.”

Repeat Customer Who Needed to Buy and Sell

A former client of mine initially recommended me to Christopher and Shirley to help them purchase a new home. They found a great house and made it theirs! After a few years, they decided to plan for the future and were looking to buy a new place that offered one level living. So, they called me up and I listed their home. It sold quickly and they happily moved into their next home.

Check out the kind words in their testimonial: “Paula was there every step of the way. She offered ways to stage our house for sale in a very professional way. From the picture taking to inspections to showing our house, Paula worked around our crazy work schedule. Finding a new house for us was very challenging with the tight housing and homes going so fast. In the end we found our forever home and a new friendship.”

Incredible Sale

Casey and Stephanie were referred to me by a fellow agent. When we met, we hit it off! At our listing appointment, as I always do, I did a walkthrough evaluating the house. We sat down after, working through the marketing plan and pricing. Taking into consideration the market at the time, we priced it strategically. They were like “are you sure?” I said trust me, and in the end, we had multiple offers and sold for $50,000 over list price! Needless to say, they were very happy clients.

Check out their testimonial about the whole experience: “Paula Pennington was a joy to work with! Paula was the consummate real estate professional! She was knowledgeable about the market and processes and listened to our needs. She was communicative and efficient in all aspects of the sale- from pricing, staging, contracts, to negotiations and ultimately closing. We were always well informed. Paula was able to sell our house over asking price in just 2 days! Our sales experience with Paula Pennington was wonderful! I would recommend her services to anyone looking to sell or buy their home!”
