 "With
your help, my recent home sales/purchase was completely
hassle-free. You took care of absolutely everything and
left nothing to chance. At all times, you proved yourself
worth of my confidence. You know D.C. real estate and
are an excellent businessman." - Blair M. Mastral
"My sincere gratification for the professional

 "I
can't thank you enough for the excellent job you did in
selling my homes in the District and Maryland. Your expertise
allowed me to get a price I wouldn't have dreamed of on
my DC house. You maintained a sense of humor, gave solid
advice and solved all of the many problems that arose."
- John D. O'Connell
"As a real estate service provider myself, I know
that it can be difficult to find a professional who
delivers the right "mix" of market knowledge,
personality, attentiveness to detail and follow-up.
You have it¡¦most do not. In a world where
customer service is everything, you excelled on all
counts. You have become our real estate "partner"
in the truest sense of the word. Thank you." -

"You and your firm, Coley-Reed, did an excellent job of presenting and marketing the property, which paid off in its quick sale!
I appreciate your professionalism and the advice you gave me, and felt that you certainly had our best interests in mind at all time in maximizing the value of our family home.
I would be happy to recommend you to any of your prospective clients, and indeed, hope that I have the opportunity of working with you again myself!" - M. Donovan - Arlington, VA
"Very impressed with Donna how 'protective' of her clients and also proactive she was throughout the whole transaction. Thank you Donna for everything & being there every step of the way. You are the BEST!" - The Creamers - Rockville, MD
"An incredibly positive experience selling and buying a new home and we have Donna Bannister to thank. We were dreading the process, insecure about the housing market and wondering where to begin.
Working with Donna made a difficult process enjoyable.
We will definitely be in touch with Donna down the road as our family outgrows this home!" - The Hecklingers - Takoma Park, MD

 "...the
intangibles (you possess) are a true love of your craft, ...work ethic and excellence, and an
utter commitment to the client, with an eye towards the end result. These qualities, in many
cases, cannot be taught. You have it — most do not." -Gary S.Schlager, SIOR, Principal

"Honest, trustworthy, dedicated...these are words I would use to describe my experience working with Laura. As a
first-time home-buyer I was very nervous, but Laura thoroughly and openly explained everything to me. From start to
finish, I trusted Laura and never worried that my interests were misrepresented. I think that her humble, trustworthy
nature is commendable, and it definitely made the home-buying process much less stressful. The countless properties we
visited and the number of hours Laura dedicated to helping me find the perfect home are strong testimonies to her
dedication. She listened to my needs and was always very responsive. She made me feel as though I was her number one
priority and her honesty helped me to confidently make my decision and purchase the property I own today. Laura loves
her job, and it is obvious in the quality of her work. I highly recommend Laura to help you with your housing needs!" - S. Blake (Germantown, Maryland)
"Laura did an excellent job to help us sell our condo and my family feels lucky and grateful to
have her as our agent. Because of Laura's hard work, our condo was sold in such a short time
under a depressed real estate market. We were very impressed with her kindness, diligence,
thoroughness, and leave-no-stone-unturned style. Laura's professional conduct sets an example
of what a great real estate agent should be." - S. Shen (Clarksburg, Maryland)

"We were very impressed with the way you handled
the contract negotiations. We were fortunate to be selling
our home in a seller's market, but were concerned about
how the negotiations would go if we had multiple offers.
I have practiced law for seven years, Leigh and the way
you conducted the negotiations was truly impressive. You
were fair, ethical, honest, and professional, but tough.
I don't think I have seen a better job!" - Ariadne
Makris Clinton
"Leigh's savvy and persistence were essential
to consummating the deal. Without forgetting the need
for tact and discretion, she found creative solutions
to differences and skillfully managed to promote agreement
in a positive, productive way." - Robert Hanley

 "Thank
you for a great job shepherding us through our first home-buying
experience. Kip deserves special mention for the time
and energy he took with us. He did a great job and when
there were inevitable problems, he took care of it and
us." - Mary Arras
I enjoyed working with such a professional team. You
and Kip made the transaction very smooth and pleasant
at all times. - Lillian Maitheson

 "Your
background in the complicated field of 'Like-Kind' or
'Starker Exchanges' was an enormous help. Your advice
and especially your follow-through at every step of the
transaction provided me a peace of mind and confidence
that I truly needed at that time." - Elise Callaghan
"What a class act you are. You made a stressful
situation pleasant¡¦and we got cookies
to boot!" - Valera & Tony
"Working with you has truly been an enjoyable
experience. You are kind, patient, and the ultimate
gentleman." - Debbie
"We want to thank you for all you did for us in
finding our first house. You were so understanding and
patient with us - helping us get our mortgage, insurance,
etc. and being with us at the closing. It went so well."

"Just a few words to let you know just how much I think of Mike Schilling. It instilled a deep confidence in both my son and myself that Mike was concerned that I would be happy after the sale, not just before. In my entire 57 years, I have rarely met someone as caring and thoughtful as Mike is. I definitely did not make it easy for him! I have three pins in my hip from an earlier accident. Mike had to make numerous calls to check out potential homes (condos) for me to make sure that there were no steps or problems getting into the property. He (also) had to make sure my two friends (cats) would be welcome. I needed lost of sunshine and did not want to be isolated in a back unit. I had been dreading trying to sell my condo and relocating. The warmth Mike (also Laura, Anita and everyone at Coley Reed) showed me that first day never changed. I will add my name to the list, that I am sure is very long, of very happy clients. To vouch for you is a pleasure, to have had your company represent me, an honor."
P.S. "My new home is everything I wished for and more!! And the sale of my condo was so easy — Mike took care of everything and got me a great price too!"
