Testimonials

--Tania did an exemplary job of selling our house in McLean. The house presented the twin challenges of not being visible from the road, and of having an unusual plan of mostly small rooms combined with an immense great room. Not only did she find a qualified buyer, but she managed extremely contentious price negotiations successfully. G.S.
--Tania was always available and responsive to our needs. As we were first-time home buyers, she calmly guided us through the process and helped us find and reach settlement on our dream home in less than 60 days. That speaks to her incredible efficiency and familiarity with the market as well. B.M.
--A family member recommended we use Tania as our realtor when we started the search for our first home, and we couldn't be happier with the results! Not only is she a brilliant realtor, but she is a joy to work with on a personal level. She was able to find us our dream home and close the deal, quickly. We highly recommend that anyone in the area looking for a realtor call Tania Hosmer! S. M.

--Tania has sold two houses of mine, and the deals simply would not have closed but for her diligence, attention to detail, and advocacy on my behalf. Most sellers do not understand or are not aware of the plethora of issues that arise, requiring attention to details. She is my trusted, real estate advisor. She is also highly educated and comes from a real estate background so it is not a second career. She has integrity, willing to talk with you about realities in order to make an informed and prudent decision during each part of the process. She is well-versed, conscientious, and sincere. I recommend her without reservation or hesitation. J.H.
