"Aelita was the answer to my mission to find the perfect home. Aelita quickly ascertained and registered my tastes and matched those with the space I sought and the price tag I desired. Aelita personifies professionalism and care for her clients. She is with her buyers every step of the way, from being shown homes to signing the title papers. Aelita will ensure every question her buyers have is appropriately answered. Aelita has a pleasant disposition and is incredibly organized and efficient. I would not have found my perfect home in the price range I sought without Aelita's guidance." Julie A. Clements, J.D., M.P.P. "Aelita and Alix aren't just realtors --- they're gifted real estate strategists. In possibly the worst market in history, they developed a plan that sold my Arlington condo in just three and a half weeks and helped me locate a new home that got me significantly more for my money. From start to finish, they made the process effortless, listened to my ideas and offered counsel that was proven right at every stage in the selling and buying process. I'd recommend the RealEstateHappenZ team highly!" Paul Skowronek "Thank you very much for an exceptionally wonderful experience selling our condo in a challenging market. We appreciate your professional expertise, your completely accurate advice, and your thorough, detailed attention to every aspect of the sale of our condo. Who would have thought that we would have our condo on the market for less than two weeks, have 4 offers, AND get our asking price during the global financial crisis in the Fall of 2008! And you are very nice people and delightful to work with. PS Aelita, thanks especially for your support in finalizing the closing today. You did all of the right things!" Gregg and Connie "I had bought and sold houses all across the country, but that was some time ago. I watched with curiosity as Alix Myerson and Aelita Brolis worked with a friend who was selling her house. They knew exactly what had to be done to make the sale in this difficult market--some repairs and a good bit of sprucing-up, not to mention, clearing out. Minimalism seems to sell, even to buyers who like busy abundance in their own homes. Barbara Karth "Alix and Aelita are a dynamic team with fabulous ideas. They knew how to show it off and priced it perfectly! Their advice and support helped me turn my overstuffed Mt. Pleasant row house into a show place. In a tight market, my house sold in 10 days, with multiple offers, for more than the asking price. I couldn’t believe selling a house could be so smooth, easy and successful! " Louise Millikan "Insightful, creative, thorough, and occasionally "a pain in the butt" is how I would describe my experience with Alix and Aelita. They developed an exciting virtual tour of the house which was all over the web. My friends couldn’t believe how glamorous it looked and I almost decided not to move. They also created a showroom, yet homey, atmosphere for the Open House. In a very tough, declining market they got it sold in under three weeks. In a phrase, a delightful experience." Christopher Bates "Here is a long overdue big thank you for all of your assistance in helping me sell my condo in DC this past summer! You two were wonderful, from the professional photos and selling strategy at the beginning of the process, through the marketing on MLS, Craigslist, and open houses, and finally to the quick and easy sell. You two took it even a step further by assisting in my move, as I had to leave town before my condo was sold. You guys were just amazing in helping me coordinate both an out-of-town closing and supervising the movers. I was especially relieved to have my condo sold so quickly in this market. You two are fun to work with and extremely professional. Having worked with you when I first bought my condo, you know I would happily recommend your services to my friends who are in the market to either buy or sell in the DC area." Jennifer Evert "We were first time homebuyers who tried to do their homework. But buying a home for the first time was intimidating. You really need someone who has been through the process and has years of experience to help you through it all. Aelita did just that and helped us feel confident that all of the details were taken care of – we couldn’t have done it without her. She was honest, hardworking, and always prepared. It was fun working with her and we’d recommend her to anyone, especially to first time homebuyers like us." Ed and Kate Gilman
"As a first-time home-buyer, I was initially lost in the vast real estate world of DC. With Aelita, however, it was quickly apparently that I had a powerful ally. Her depth and breadth of knowledge were immeasurably helpful, and she provided fantastic advice throughout the process of finding and then purchasing my property. Perhaps most importantly, she is so warm and friendly, it made the whole experience a lot of fun. Every time I look around my beautiful condo, I think how lucky I was to have found Aelita!" Alexandra Blasgen
"After I moved here from California, Alix and Aelita assisted me with the purchase of my home in Alexandria, Virginia. As this was not my first home purchase, I was generally familiar with the process, but completely unfamiliar with the various neighborhoods here in Virginia. As I wanted to look at and become familiar with several neighborhoods before focusing on one or two, Alix and Aelita not only showed me more than 100 homes in Arlington, Fairfax County and Alexandria City, they also provided me information on hundreds more. Both Alix and Aelita spent a great deal of time with me and never pressured me to buy something, and had a wealth of knowledge about the process in Virginia. And, to my great delight, I enjoyed spending time with them. In short, Alix and Aelita are the rare combination of 'excellent and knowledgeable resources' and 'wonderful and fun people'. I would recommend them to anyone." Shannon
"You made the impossible happen. Thanks to your perseverance and promptness we now are relaxed...thank you for great service." Sima and Mohammed Houshmandi
"A tag team of helpfulness and spot-on advice! They know the local real estate market inside and out. First-time buyers like us are easily overwhelmed by the size of the market and the complexities. They spent lots of time with us, helped us figure out what we wanted and made sure we got what we wanted - at the best price. They made sure everything was taken care of, from start to finish. They are an absolute pleasure to deal with." Jody
"Buying a home can be an overwhelming experience. When Alix began working with me, she helped clarify for the benefits of purchasing a home versus renting an apartment in an extremely lucid and comprehendible way. I had been a renter for four years and didn't feel I was able to make a financial commitment to owning a home. She showed me that it was quite possible, and then helped me find the space of my dreams. She scoured the district with me, never pushing me, never being overly aggressive with me, but rather making sure I felt comfortable. I find Alix realistic, pragmatic, hopeful and full of wisdom and expertise in her field. She was a consummate professional throughout my time with her and truly went above and beyond the call of duty with my extremely complicated settlement and difficult first few months of ownership. I recommend Alix highly to all of my friends who are looking to purchase a home and will continue to spread the good word about Alix Myerson!" Wendy C. Goldberg
"When my husband and I moved to Georgia recently, we were faced with the prospect of selling our house in Rockville, MD. Frankly, we were dreading it. Previous experiences in selling real estate have been stressful and unpleasant. What a pleasant surprise it was to work with Alix. From our first meeting with her, Alix took our stress level down to zero. She arranged for cosmetic improvements to help our house show at its best, and scheduled an open house immediately thereafter. She recommended an asking price which she said would bring in the most prospective buyers. Her advice was sound. When the open house was over, she presented a dozen contracts, all of which were for considerably more than the asking price. Through skillful negotiation, she got us the very best contract both in selling price and terms, and all within just a few days. We were delighted. I can't tell you how pleased we were with every aspect of her services. If any of our friends in the DC area plan to sell a house, we will certainly recommend her." Ann Cahill
"Alix assisted me with both the purchase of my home in Takoma Park, Maryland in November of 1999 and its sale in August of 2001. Further, she served as an excellent resource for tips and contacts related to home improvement, maintenance, and refusing throughout my tenure in Takoma Park. What is particularly special about Alix Myerson is her sense of personal commitment and involvement. During both the purchase and sale of my home, Alix spent countless hours explaining the process, delivering documents to me at work, arranging services and scheduling appointments - essentially providing me with the attention that is truly warranted during property transactions, but which, I imagine, most people do not get to experience. She was always informed, forthright and honest about everything, and to such a point that I felt absolutely at ease (if not relieved) having Alix handle the details of the closing when I had to make a quick move to San Francisco for a change in my employment." Joanna Soffa
"As a young, female first-time home-buyer the entire process intimidated me and all of the other realtors I had met made me feel uncomfortable and pressured. Aelita and Alix made me feel like family. They took the time to explain even the simplest details to me, and were patient enough to show me apartments for months before I found just the right one. I didn't just find a home with my realtors, I found two new close friends who I know I can trust." Kate Koren
