We had the pleasure to work with Ben Drucker in securing quick housing while we move to VA from the West Coast. Ben personally viewed and recorded videos of three different properties to conduct a tour for us. Not being able to see the locations was a challenge for us but Ben actually showing up and walking the properties put our minds at ease. The whole experience was incredibly professional, affordable, and anybody would be luck to work with Ben and the Fulcrum Properties Group.
Such an amazing experience. Thank you so much for helping us find our dream home. We thought relocating from out of state would be difficult - but Sunny was amazing and made it so simple.
I can’t speak for the company as a whole but I was given a business card from Megan Ferra and would never consider her services. She was rude, disrespectful, and very emotional speaking having just met her and showed no sense of boundries.
The folks at Fulcrum went above and beyond to help me purchase my beloved apartment and stay in the community I love. Im a first time homeowner, and I went through a very unique and rather complicated process to buy my home. Fulcrum was there every step of the way, and theres absolutely no way I would have been able to navigate the process without them. Every person I worked with there is absolutely lovely. Yo-G is the best agent, a great negotiator, and is a steady presence when you get the willies. Liz is so fast and wonderful (she even got on the phone with me when I was nervous about doing the wire transfer). And Ty and Tom are just good, chill dudes who know the business, are super kind, and want to help. The non-Fulcrum people they recommend are also great (from the title folks to the real estate attorney to the lender). I have so many warm, fuzzy feelings for all of them, and I feel like my words arent expressing these feelings enough. You should 100% work with them!
Chris Dickson, my agent was very helpful and provided great support and strategy to present the winning offer. The Fulcrum support team was very professional providing guidance along the way and information for all utilities and other aspects related to closing. Highly recommend the team at Fulcrum Properties Group.Update: Chris has helped us buy another property. He is patient and provided great suggestions for the winning offer. The whole Fulcrum team is amazing with timely reminders and information throughout the process. Thank you!
I highly recommend Fulcrum Properties to anyone looking to sell their home. My real estate agent, Nikki Johnson, and her team did a fantastic job working with me to sell my condominium.I received white-glove treatment from day one. They handled all of the details and kept me updated every step of the way. In addition, everyone I interacted with was upbeat, enthusiastic, and always willing to answer any questions I had.The recommended remodeling service, Juniper Home Improvement, was top-notch. Sara transformed my fire-damaged condo into a modern and welcoming home in a few short weeks—all within budget.As a result, we received multiple offers well above the asking price.
My husband is PCSing to the area and I found Laura at Fulcrum through a military group. She continuously went above and beyond to help us find a home we wanted in an area we wanted. She was 100% always available, even on days off work, to help o it and answer questions!
We are so happy with the professional service we received during the recent sale of our home.Our realtor, Nikki Johnson, was caring and is a top flight real estate professional. First, she met with us to understand our needs and expectations. All of our objectives were met all the way through the sale and the settlement!Our home sold quickly and far exceeded our asking price. The rest of the Fulcrum team supported our realtor Nikki and there was always a quick response from Fulcrum team members to any questions we had. They also quickly communicated what was needed from us.Updates to our home were made using their remodeling service. All work was done in a top-notch manner.Fulcrum clearly has the team to support your real estate needs!I highly recommend Fulcrum for any of your real estate needs.James & Varetta H.--- Fulcrum satisfied clients
We had the best experience with your company and Nikki, our realtor. She helped us find our first dream home and we could not be more excited! In a market that is competitive, she was 100% present to be there every step of the way however kept our wishes in mind. We are so happy and would refer your agency to our friends/family! Thank you so much!
Jason Voelkl made this home buying experience fun and exciting. He stayed determined to find my family a home, even when we doubted that we would ever find a home in this market. He stayed in constant contact with us, and always kept our best interest in mind. Teamed up with Hayley Dashiell after our offer was accepted, they constantly kept me up to date on the closing process, and helped me get through the hurdles that kept popping up. Their knowledge, experience and professionalism made this possible, and my family and I are beyond grateful.
Working with James and the rest of the Fulcrum team is an absolute pleasure. My wife, Leia, and I started looking for our first home early this year and needless to say it is a sellers market. This did not dissuade James, though, who is an eternal optimist (one of the many things that we loved about working with him) and he guided us expertly through the home buying journey. James was responsive, always took the time to explain things thoroughly, and went above and beyond when it came to negotiating on our behalf and getting the job done. When we found the home for us, not only did James stay on top of everything from the negotiating process to close, he literally took a half day on the day before closing to make sure the seller had completed all of the contingency items. If you are looking for an agent to represent you I cannot recommend James enough.
I was referred to Temi Akojie by a realtor in Charleston, S.C. From the moment we met I was beyond impressed with her can-do attitude, her vast experience, affable and accommodating demeanor. Temis attention to detail and follow-through was consistently on display; her work ethic is exemplary! Hands down the BEST realtor I have ever worked with!Sara Estes-Listing Manager, is equally as skilled and thorough and an excellent problem-solver! She is a consummate professional, and made this process seamless!Hayley Dashiell, Transaction Coordinator, provided topnotch support, answering all my questions and using well honed tricks of the trade to get things done and done right!It was delightful to experience the camaraderie between Temi, Sara, and Hayley, stellar team, outstanding teamwork!Fulcrum Properties Group partners with an exceptional group of folks who played an integral part of the process of selling my home, a special thank you: Karina Twomey-Juniper HomesBrian Ratliff-Settlement Processor, Universal TitleKatie Griffin-Managing Attorney, Universal Title
What a wonderful team of professionals! Special thanks to Michele (Shelly) Pratt and Elizabeth Abudakar for helping our family buy our first home in DC. Shelly is a hard working, very knowledgeable, very energetic professional that (IMO) has gone above and beyond to help us find the home that truly suits our needs. She listened to what we are looking for in a home and delivered for sure! She was always available to answer our questions, and never tired from looking at more homes. Shelly, Elizabeth and the entire Fulcrum crew are rock stars (A-Team)! Our experience of buying our first home has been a great experience, and the credit goes all to them! Thank you!
Working with Sunny and the team was a great experience! They helped me every step of the way, and really educated me a lot on buying and owning a home as a first-time house buyer. Sunny and the team were very friendly and educated and answered any question I had along the way. It still doesn’t feel real to be in my own home! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to buy to reach out!
Excellent service and interaction all the way through the homme buying process. They knew the market, had a local reputation that helped make offers a success, and communicated by text, phone, and email as needed.
We had a truly great experience with Fulcrum Properties Group. The entire team works together seamlessly to make the process as easy and stress-free as possible. Paul Nalabandian was so patient as we looked and looked and looked for a house in a difficult market and he always made a point to include our kids in the process. Yo-G Gozner was fantastic in helping us sell our house. He was great at explaining what changes were worth doing before going on the market and what wasn’t. On the backend, Haley, Sara and Farah made sure everything ran perfectly smooth. Couldn’t imagine a better experience!
I had a great experience with Dominique buying my townhome! We originally went through the offer process and I lost out on it because the market is so hot, but together we successfully negotiated the purchase of a similar home with an early offer before it went on the market! She was instrumental in making that happen and has helped me immensely through the buying process. I would recommend her without reservation to anyone looking to buy a home.
10 stars really!!!! This is third opportunity to work with the amazing Fulcrum Properties Group over the past couple of years in Washington DC (sell, buy, sell). Every time has been an extreme pleasure to work with Ty Voyles and his team. The latest transaction was James Buckley, Farah Oster, and Sara Estes. Earlier this spring, my family had just moved from Washington DC to Maryland. We engaged James to help list our condo in Southwest. James and team were thoroughly accessible, engaged, insightful, helpful, patient, responsive, easy to communicate with, and overall amazing. With so much happening James and team were able to make the whole process seamless and painless. As mentioned, this is our third opportunity to work with the Fulcrum team, we will continue to do so again and again!!!! Thank you James, Sara and Farah!!! (and also Ty : ) - the Fulcrum team is beyond knowledge in real estate transactions, a full service team!
You can tell from day one speaking with her that she understands her market and very knowledgable of this home buying process. If you choose Temi as your Realtor you will not be disappointed.
The Fulcrum people are the best realtors we have ever dealt with. Sarah Ritter was exceptionally gracious, helpful, and conscientious.
Man, this is how home buying should be. Everyone was so professional, responsive and super attentive to my needs as a first time home buyer. They literally walked me through the whole process and thoroughly ensured that i understood the next steps as they came along. Theyre super amazing, I wouldve given them 10 stars if possible. Excellent workmanship and quality. If a home is what youre looking for, you should definitely try Fulcrum.
Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish! My fiancé and I just bought our first home with the help of Temi Akojie. As first time home buyers, we read every piece of paper and had questions about each step of the process. Temi and her Fulcrum transaction team, led by Hayley, were knowledgeable and quick to answer even the most esoteric of questions; happily giving step-by-step guidance. Temi made the home-buying process fun and focused on our comfort while also driving a beneficial bargain in a competitive housing market. Hats off to Temi, Hayley, and the Fulcrum crew!
Paul Nalabandian is fantastic! He is responsive, listens to his clients, does not push clients one way or another, and genuinely wants clients to find their dream home. He is creative and encourages clients to think creatively about spaces, and is willing to look at anything and everything, even if he knows it is unlikely that his clients will like the space. I could not recommend Paul more highly!
Working with Temi is always a joy. Ive worked with her now on 2 sales and one purchase. Im sure she has other clients, but its hard to tell because shes so responsive and reliable. Most importantly, she is honest. She prepared me for the best and worst case scenarios.Well, in one of the sales, the worst case scenario became a reality. Ever perseverant, she managed the process and the negotiation to turn things around and made my house the highest selling one in the neighborhood.Temi consistently provides first class service, and I highly recommend her.
In town on vacation from London, UK, as I thought of selling my home I was referred to Ms. Nikki Johnson by a close friend. After an inspection of my property, she immediately set a meeting with me over a dinner. She presented her company and their services offered in such a professional manner, I signed a contract immediately with full entrust in her and their capabilities. I felt we made an immediately made a connection. From the beginning to the end process – Showing of the property to the Closing! The property was listed on 12 Feb 2020 and Closed 4 Mar 2020. I was completely blown away how her team at each level kept me in the loop from start to finish by communication via email – sharing pictures! It was such a smooth process – especially the closing documents getting signed and returned in a timely manner. It was wonder! Ms. Nikki and her Team were so professional and courteous on all levels. It was a process that included me and I felt like I was apart of the TEAM! I’m so thankful for thankful for the experience and the opportunity to have worked with her and the TEAM. If you want your home sold – Look no further, Ms. Nikki Johnson, Realtor, Licensed in DC, MD & VA Fulcrum Properties Group that will definitely make it happen!
Hutch Putnam and his team are amazing and I highly recommend their services! From the very beginning Hutch walked us through every step of the way. His knowledge of the market and his were impeccable. He sold our townhouse in one day (45 minutes actually) and helped us find a house within days. With the market being very aggressive for buyers he helped guide us to give a competitive/unique offer that separated us from the rest. His transaction team was nothing but stellar and helped us to close smoothly and were willing to help in any way. We are moving into a dream home and we wouldn’t have been able to do this without Hutch and his team!
From the moment I met her, Laura made me feel like part of her family. She was so understanding, professional, helpful, and overall, very sweet. The whole team that she worked with to sell my apartment, were just as efficient as she was. They were always ready to answer any question I had, and made the whole process very smooth. I am very glad I was referred to work with them, and recommend them to anyone who is trying to sell or buy. Your experience will be exceptional, just like mine was.
Anna and the Fulcrum group were absolutely amazing to work with for our first home purchase. The Northern VA/DC housing market is incredibly competitive and Annas expert guidance landed us the house of our dreams! She was very patient with us as first time home buyers, answered all of our questions (even the ones we asked multiple times to understand it right) and made us feel comfortable during this daunting process. Her team in the office was incredibly professional and quick to turn around anything needed to complete our closing. Thanks again!
I worked with Dominique Zarrow (realtor) and Farah Oster (transaction manager) on the sale of my house. They made the process painless and were knowledgeable about any and all of my questions. They made the sale of my home, which was done virtually, a wonderful, fast and easy process. I highly recommend both of these professionals.
There are not enough words to describe how wonderful the Fulcrum Properties Group team is - specifically Susan Mertz and Farah. My husband and I were first time buyers in Alexandria, VA. Susan took the time to go through all of the details of the process with us upfront and then helped us every step of the way. She and the team extremely knowledgeable, hard working, responsive, and diligent in every step of the process - from the beginning of a wish list, to seeing homes, negotiating, and closing. We are beyond grateful for the Fulcrum Properties Group Team!! Run, dont walk to Fulcrum for your home needs!
This is the way that home buying should be. I have never purchased a home with any other realtor than Hutch Putnam. Hes extremely attentive/responsive and a wealth of knowledge. You really cant go wrong... In addition, Liz Gowins was a great help. She too was on top of things and made sure my purchase went as smoothly as possible. And it did. I own a home with only a fraction of the headache that most people have when jumping through hoops to send/receive/sign paperwork. When Im ready to buy again, I know which team Ill be working with!
Veronica and her whole team were amazing to work with. I worked with Veronica a few years ago when I purchased the home, and couldnt think of anyone better to help me sell when the time came. They were extremely accommodating and helpful, given my difficult work schedule. Their attention to detail and preparation work had my house in tip top shape when it went on the market. Would recommend this team to anyone looking to buy or sell.
We had a great experience selling our Capitol Hill home with Fulcrum. Our realtor and the office team were completely on top of all the listing and closing processes, and they were very communicative about where things were during the process, which was essential as we went to market in early April during the pandemic. And their concierge program was amazing - other companies offered to help with the funds for updating, but Fulcrum got bids from a variety of contractors and stagers and then oversaw the work for the companies we selected, which was essential since we had already moved out of state. We would highly recommend.
Michelle Pratt made the first time home buying process seamless. She was very responsive and creative with coming up with ways to find leverage. She was fair, transparent and most importantly - honest! She helped us create strong offers and always made us feel in control. I highly recommend Shelly and her team as they are true professionals. Shelly truly cares about making a best choice for your future.
Working with Nikki was great. We had a slow time getting started on our end with juggling selling and buying a house at the same time. She worked with us and when we finally were ready to putour house on the market we had over 10 competitive offers and got over 3% higher than asking price in 5 days.
Dominique and Hutch were an absolute pleasure to work with. The entire process was stress free and honestly fun thanks to them! They went above and beyond my expectations to ensure that we sold our house for top dollar. Their photographer was incredible, the brought in a cleaning crew (free of charge!) and coordinated all repairs that we needed prior to listing. We got 3 offers, all above asking, in the first 24 hours on the market! Dominique made a compelling case to the appraiser to justify our price despite low appraisals in our neighborhood and he appraised us at full sale price. This team is worth their weight in gold. Don’t make the mistake of going with someone else just because their commissions are lower, you know them through a friend, etc. You owe it to yourself to use Fulcrum Properties Group!
We had a great home buying experience with Jenn from Fulcrum Properties. As we were moving back to Virginia from Germany, Jenn was flexible in speaking with us via FaceTime and lining up properties for us to look at when we arrived in the States.Thanks to Jenn we were able to find, close and move into our new home within 5 weeks!
We were so pleased working with Veronica and Farah. Veronica was patient and supportive through a long house search and Farah helped the close go smoothly once we found our place. We are very grateful for their care and expertise in this process.
My wife and I highly recommend real estate agent Dominique Zarow of Fulcrum Properties Group. We hired her to sell our townhouse and buy our new construction single family home in Manassas, VA. She is very friendly and down to earth. She is truly knowledgeable of the local real estate market and extremely responsive via calls, emails, and text messages. From the beginning, we noticed her, and Fulcrum were on a higher level of professionalism than any other real estate company we have worked with before. Our MLS listing was stunning. Dominique just sold our home for $10K over asking. Do not hesitate to hire her.Thanks,Tyson & Katie of Manassas, VA
We truly enjoyed working with Amanda Briggs and her team! She was totally in when it came to meeting our needs on the sale of our home. We handed the house over to the team and they took care of all the prep needed to get the sale we wanted and the whole process took less than a month. We were impressed!
Dominique Zarrow is one Impressive Realtor in the DMV area! No surprised she is rated as one (if not the #1), Top Performing Realtors in the Northern Virginia area - Bar None! Her negation skills, Knowledge of Processes, run-to-ground-truth fact finding ability, Active Listening, Positive Communication, never-quite intestinal fortitude, and over all general willingness to understand issues/concerns/needs are ALL BEYOND REPROACH!!!On a 1.5M dollar purchase - I personally could have not been better supported if I had a 30 Ton Anchor attached to me! Very Please!!! Additionally, Dominique is considered a Subject Matter Expert, or SME, not only in the realm of real estate - but also in matters of Veteran Administration loans, and processes too! Great Job, Dominique! Bravo Zulu to you AND your team! Mission success!
Colin Storm and his team at Fulcrum did an amazing job selling my condo!
Two words you need to remember. Colin Storm.During the initial search for an agent, he came highly recommended by a few of our close friends. Fast forward to today, my wife and I are now happily living in our first home in Falls Church, Virginia.From beginning to end, Colin was an absolute asset and exceeded expectations throughout the entire home buying process. As we started to view homes, he struck a perfect balance of allowing us the time to discover what would best suit our needs, while at the same time providing deep insight drawn from his extensive local knowledge and 17+ years of diverse experiences.This knowledge gave us comfort knowing that even when we act quickly, we were making informed decisions that would lead to the best outcome. As we got deeper into the process of getting to closing, we realized we were also benefitting from the brilliant relationships that Fulcrum has with other key parties such as the lender and title agencies. The synergy of those relationships brought top-shelf value.After we went under contract, it became clear to us that Colin also had a rockstar team behind him within Fulcrum. Hayley Dashiell was responsive, clear, and made communicating with all the stakeholders that much easier.In conclusion, I will do for you what our close friends did for us.Reach out to Colin with the Fulcrum Properties Group, and get him on your team. Collectively what he and his team will bring to the table for you is invaluable, and would be a no-brainer decision for us to work with them again.
Leah was very helpful from beginning to the end. We were first time home buyers and she made the process as easy as possible. She was very knowledgeable of the area, which help a lot! I couldn’t be happier with our experience! Highly recommend!
Martin Signore and his team are, without question, the best realtors to work with anywhere in the DMV area! Their attention to detail, willingness to advocate to get the best possible outcome for their client (me), and their ability to rapidly convey information to a variety of folks (agents, lawyers, settlement officers, loan officers, inspectors, you name it) is unmatched.If I ever buy or sell a property ever again in my future, there is no question in my mind whom I will turn to for help.Thank you to Mr. Signore and his team for their exceptional support on helping me achieve my dream!
Fulcrum Group was amazing to work with! All my questions were answered. I always received a call back and I also was able to build trust with this company! They are amazing and I will refer them to anyone I know interested in buying a house! AMAZING SERVICE!!!
Great experience working with Fulcrum! The whole office was really helpful guiding us through the process. We worked directly with Paul, and he was everything we could have hoped for - helpful, friendly, kind, knowledgeable, and available. No complaints at all!
Annie Richardson and Virginia Edwards were amazing throughout the entire process of purchasing a home! As first-time home buyers, we required a lot of guidance and they were extremely helpful in not only explaining every step of the way, but they always provided great information, so we could make informed decisions. They were quick to respond to any questions and provided timely reminders of any items we needed to complete to make the process even smoother. Annie made the process of buying a home so much fun instead of being stressful. She was easy to work with and really listened to our wishes. We really enjoyed working with Annie and Virginia and highly recommend their team!
Wow... George Lima and his Fulcrum Properties Group far exceed our expectations. Not only is George an exceptional agent and down-to-earth, but he has a fantastic support team. George connected us with outstanding professionals from a home inspector to a renovation contractor and more. His connections with people & businesses really paid off huge and stood out from other realty experiences over the years.When George first showed us our future home, it was well under our budget and a perfect central location... including walking distance from our daughters preschool! George gave us his straight up assessment of how this place could become a great home and solid family investment. When we decided, George not only secured a great deal, but connected us with everybody we needed to turn this fixer upper into our home... without breaking our budget or schedule. In particular, Georges preferred home inspector was so good at highlighting what needed repair, the seller eagerly gave us a significant closing credit to seal the deal.For our family, this new home couldnt have worked out better. George & team have our thanks!
“Overwhelming, “traumatic, and “impossible are just some of the words which come to mind when facing closing or settlement on a property. In my case, I had two settlements in as many weeks, the first was on the sale of an old home and the second on the purchase of a new home. Sixteen years passed from the time I bought my 40-year-old property, and now I was faced with the daunting task of upgrading and then selling it. I was extremely fortunate in having Nikki Johnson of Fulcrum Properties Group as my seller’s agent as well as my buyer’s agent. Nikki, ably supported by her highly professional and personable support team, smoothed out all the bumps in the road. Experience and knowledge mean so much in the real estate business, but those qualities on their own are not enough to navigate all the pitfalls in selling and buying a home. Additionally, the combination of old-fashioned common sense and a healthy sense of humor go a long way toward making the selling and buying of a home manageable for the average person. For me, the numerous twists and turns sometimes seemed more than I could handle, but Nikki and her network of assistants and contractors were always there when I needed them. Should I ever have a need for the services of a realtor in the future, it is very comforting to know that I can call upon Fulcrum Properties Group. Their services are second to none!
Nikki Johnson and her team was fantastic from start to finish. Nikki was responsive, flexible with our schedule, and very professional. She helped us focus our search with open and honest feedback based on current market conditions. Once we found our dream home, she recommended a great lender, and we closed in less than 30 days. We really enjoyed working with her.
Me and my husband just bought our first house. We had a great experience with Fulcrum. Yo-g was our realtor. He is simply amazing. Very professional, reliable and made this process so much easier for us. Oh ... and not to forget a great NEGOTIATOR! He got us a great deal . Thank you 🙏! We will recommend you to everyone!
We recently purchased our first home with the help of Annie at Fulcrum and could not recommend her more! Whether it was viewing homes, negotiating the offer, or closing on a house, Annie consistently went above and beyond to meet our needs and answer our questions. We are so grateful to have worked with her and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation!
I had the privilege of working with Gene Mechling as one of my clients was purchasing her listing. After 15 years in the mortgage industry I know that choosing the right real estate agent, particularly on the sellers side is a very important but difficult decision. In short, Gene is truly a class act. She was professional, knowledgeable, prompt, and very responsive. I would highly recommend Gene when you are looking for purchase or sell a home.
Best real estate experience and best company ever, they give you not just the attention that you need, they go extra to be just upstanding in their service, for the same price you pay one person you will have a listing agent, staying, a person that follow up with title companies and more. They brought a handyman, cleaning company, explained us step by step our options. Very highly level professional service you cant find easy. If you want a special experience buy/ sale a property, hire Diane Yochelson Fulcrum Properties Group.
From our first meeting to our closing, Fulcrum was absolutely fantastic. We worked with Annie Richardson, who I cannot recommend highly enough. She was responsive and worked with us to figure out exactly what we were looking for. When we were finally ready to make an offer, she helped us come up with the best strategies for getting our dream home in the super competitive DC market. What could have been a really stressful experience was totally fine thanks to Annie. The rest of the Fulcrum team was super responsive, helpful and all around great to work with. Highly reccomend!
Leah Carswell helped us with our very first home purchase. We were quite uncertain about the process and what we were able to get, especially in the Northern Virginia market. In our very first meeting with her, we were told that the goal was to find not just a house we liked or that would be acceptable, but rather one that we would walk in and say we love it. I thought to myself good luck because I knew wed have to sacrifice something because of our price point - commute to work, space (property size and yard), age of home, etc.Leah was a great communicator and checked in with us regularly as we updated our property lists that we would comment on. It wasnt long before we found the house we ended up purchasing, and Leah was there to help and guide us every step of the way! Plus, its a home I walked into and knew instantly that I loved it!From start to finish, Leah was amazing, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience low stress. We felt she valued us and our desires for our home, and was very personable. We would highly recommend her!
Brian O Hora was amazing to work with and he was key to helping us find our perfect home. He was referred to us by a friend who had recently worked with him to purchase a beautiful townhouse on Capitol Hill, and we couldnt be happier that she did. He is incredibly experienced, responsive, flexible, and generous with his time. At the start of the process, we discussed our budget, location preferences, must-haves, and deal breakers. and he helped us pinpoint the neighborhood in which we would eventually buy a home. He has expert knowledge of the DMV area, and exposed us to an amazing neighborhood that we never otherwise would have explored. He was always available by text or phone, clued us in the latest home sales and open houses, and went above and beyond to make sure we were as informed as possible every step of the way. If on a Thursday morning we spotted a property we wanted to see, just a quick text to Brian and we were seeing it that night.It is an understatement to say that the home buying process can be stressful, but with Brian it was very simple and straightforward. He was there to offer wisdom and to be a level-headed third-party presence when we needed him to be. He was appropriately critical of properties that we toured and helped us notice flaws or shoddy renovations that we had missed. When he thought a house was not worth it, he was frank with us, but always stressed that the choice was always ours. He was equally as honest when the houses were clearly very good properties. It always felt like he was in our corner, and he was a calming voice when we lost bids or were signing the closing documents. When it came time to close, Virginia and the rest of the team at Fulcrum were very detailed, professional, and responsive. They provided us clear instructions and next steps and the closing process went as smoothly as it could.
Gene is very knowledgeable, full of great ideas, and an expert in her field!!! . If you looking for the absolutely perfect realtor Gene would be the great and smart choice!Erica took care of everything, by being responsive, and in a timely fashion.Absolutely, fantastic experience with the team work.
My first time buying a home was a bit intimidating in the beginning but with Temis expertise and thoroughness my experience was awesome. She was available to check out propertise and to answer question whenever I had them. Her entire Fulcrum team was AMAZING!! Farah who is also apart of the team helped to make sure I was informed with changes and updates. I cannot express how impressed I was with Temi and she will always have a seat at my backyard cookouts.
We worked with Amanda Briggs from Fulcrum to sell our Capital Hill home when we relocated out of the DC area. From the first meeting all the way through closing Amanda and the Fulcrum team was incredibly helpful and made the process as easy as possible. They managed everything from finding the right person to stage the home to having painters and handymen to make the house look great and sell fast. Whether you need to sell your home to move across town or across the country I would suggest you work with Amanda and the Fulcrum team.
All I can really say is Amanda = Awesome!!!! But I will say more to highlight the total selling experience Amanda took us through and at no point were we ever guessing or worried about any step of the process. Amanda was very confident and professional at all times while always keeping us, the customer 1st. Fulcrum Properties Group along with Amanda and her entire supporting team made our selling experience well above what we expected.Thanks again!!
Amanda Briggs at Fulcrum is AMAZING. Due to some weird circumstances, we had to basically abandon our house and move to California. We needed someone we could trust to do everything we couldnt be there to do and Amanda came through every time. Im not exaggerating when I say she took care of EVERYTHING. If youre selling in the DC area, get a Fulcrum sign in your yard. And if you can get Amanda on your team, DO IT.
Fulcrum Properties Group is my go to if I ever sell or buy a house again. The knowledge and genuine kindness they offered throughout the selling process in beyond reproach. Not choosing Fulcrum Properties Group for your transaction could be the difference in selling your home. Thank you Hutch, Erica and Stephen for the fantastic work.
I worked with Józsi Yo-G Gozner and Hayley Dashiell in purchasing a condo in Washington, DC. As a first-time homebuyer, I spent a long time selecting an agent and wanted to find someone with the right skills to close a good deal, while also not pressuring me to move too fast on a decision I was unsure of. I got exactly what I was looking for with Yo-G as an agent, who remained responsive to my needs despite a several month delay in my home search due to COVID-19. I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in DC. Once we found the right property, Hayley made the process from acceptance of offer to closing smooth and much less stressful than it could have been. I greatly appreciate the hard work both put into making my experience positive so that I could enjoy the process of my first home purchase.
We recently worked with Amanda Briggs at Fulcrum as our agent for selling our house on Capitol Hill. This is our second time using Fulcrum as our realtor (before it was for buying a house and we had a great experience then too!) Amanda is fantastic - easy to work with and knows the lay of the land in DC and Capitol Hill real estate. And, with Fulcrum, you get a team of experts helping with listing, staging, repairs and paperwork so that Amanda can focus on what she does best: prepare us for sale, work the buyer community, help us with savvy and fair negotiations, and then hold our hand through closing. She answered every text, email and call quickly and had sage advice with a friendly disposition. We highly recommend Amanda and the team at Fulcrum!
Diane Yochelson successfully negotiated and sold my unit and I couldnt be more please with her manner, positive approach and hard work. Incredible woman, who will work just for you. She has the support of her group, which helps enormously. Her even temper is the sign of solid approach. Greatly appreciated. Diane is superb realtor.
Awesome team dedicated to helping achieve the seller/buyer goals! From staging to well thought-out timing for our listing we couldn’t be happier! I would highly recommended this realty group from start to finish - Michael, Katy, Claudia and Kevin Carney (photographs) made this a wonderful experience.
Julie was amazing to work with and we had a wonderful experience purchasing our home. She was professional, listened to what was important to us, patient, and most importantly, personable. She was in constant communication with us and we never had a problem getting ahold of her. After finding us the perfect home, she assisted with renting our condo. Julie was the best and made a daunting task seamless
I worked with Annie Richardson, and shes great! She got me an off-market property that is perfect. She was always available via text to answer any questions I had. I strongly recommend Fulcrum.
Nikki Johnson and team, including Ena and Erica, we’re life savers. They walked me through every step of the home selling process and could not have felt like I was in better hands. Full service all the way From staging and storage, through to helping me settle into my new home. Thank you for everything!
We were incredibly lucky to find Brian OHora just when we did during our house search. We were working with another realtor for months without any luck before being referred to Brian by a friend. Less than a day after our email introduction, Brian was showing us a beautiful house exactly where we wanted to be. As first time home buyers, we were largely unaware of how to present an aggressive offer on a desirable home in a crazy housing market. Brian walked us through the entire process, explaining all of our options. He answered all questions immediately, be it at 8am or 11pm. He was available to show houses at the drop of a hat, even after work on week nights, which was EXTREMELY convenient. Within days of meeting him we had our offer accepted on a great home!He and the admin team at Fulcrum, particularly Farah, were also super helpful during our 30 day closing. She kept us updated on what to expect, what to prepare and was able to even help with answers that our lender had trouble explaining to us about the closing.Very much recommend Fulcrum Properties Group.
I couldnt have been happier with Fulcrum and our realtor, Amanda Briggs, after the recent sale of our house on Capitol Hill. At every step in the process, Amanda was professional, honest and expert. She knows her business, and gives outstanding advice. We were selling our house while living overseas. Normally, that would be anxiety-inducing. With Amanda and her team, it was a breeze. Katy Fetsch-Cash, who manages renovations for Fulcrum, oversaw a beautiful rehab to get the house ready for sale that included a complete kitchen makeover, painting, carpentry and more. Rene Garcia and his crew did outstanding work to make our home sparkle.Our home sold within five days of listing, and we got the price we were looking for. Id recommend Fulcrum to anyone.
We have been very happy with every aspect of this group. Great people better advice and most importantly they have the experience to get your deal closed for you. They give back to the community as well and we appreciate their kindness and generosity as a company.
Nikki with Fulcrum sold our house last spring and it was a great experience. Her team made my home look so good I almost didn’t want to sell it. She told us exactly what we needed to do for the house to sell and it worked. Our home was under contract in 11 days!Nikki also helped us on the buyers side. She helped us negotiate a short sale and made sure we got the contract. We were able to get our dream home at a steal.Nikki is always just a call or text away. Her team is amazing and was able to answer all my questions in a timely manner.

We had an absolutely amazing experience working with Fulcrum. The team is very professional and fair and works within your needs. We specifically worked with Annie, who is fantastic and thinks of every possible angle to overcome during the complicated process of buying a home. We also had the pleasure of working with George for our walk-through, who is also fantastic. Highly recommend!!!
We just bought our first home with George Lima at Fulcrum Properties. From start to finish, they were wonderful! We never would have found our home if not for George, and he provided helpful guidance at every step. I would recommend George and Fulcrum to anyone.
We had an outstanding experience with Fulcrum Properties Group as we sold our condominium. Amanda Briggs was great to work with as our sellers agent and offered outstanding advice throughout the process. Katy and Sara were excellent listing managers, guiding us through the process, and Liz helped us get the transaction across the finish line. We would happily work with Fulcrum again.
We worked with Susan from Fulcrum to buy our first home and could not be happier. Susan was extremely responsive and professional and explained the whole process (we had lots of questions as first time buyers). I highly recommend Susan to anyone looking for a realtor!
Annie Richardson and the entire Fulcrum Properties group were outstanding in the entire process of purchasing a condo! I was a first time buyer and they were very good about explaining every step of the process and giving me enough information so that I could make the right decisions. I had always heard about how stressful homebuying would be but overall this was a very low stress process. Annie was always very quick to respond and always had answers to my questions. I highly recommend the entire team at Fulcrum if youre looking for a buyers agent. Im sure theyre also just as good for sellers.
We hired Ty and Fulcrum as our sellers agent and it was the best decision we made. Ty and his team were incredibly responsive and helpful in guiding us through the selling process, including staging the house and setting negotiating sale price. Our house sold in less than 2 weeks for above asking. Cannot recommend them enough.
Fulcrum and Amanda Briggs were awesome! So appreciate their hard work and would absolutely work with them again.
I had a fantastic experience with Fulcrum Properties Group and they led us through the sale of our home every step of the way. They keep you informed and with Paul Nalabandians guidance, we had 5 offers in 6 days and ended up accepting an offer well over asking. I would definitely recommend Fulcrum for your real estate needs.
We worked with Anna Ghen as our realtor and Farah Oster as our transaction coordinator, and they both went above and beyond through our home buying process. Anna spent hours with us teaching us about the process early on in our home search which helped us make quick, but informed decisions when the time came for us to put an offer on our home. Anna knows her stuff and is very dedicated to her work. Not only did she help us find our home and teach us about the home buying process, she helped recommend to us contractors for home renovations we needed after we closed on our home. Farah responded very quickly through the whole process and gave great reminders of things when they were due. She is great to work with as well. The process was smooth because of Anna and Farah. We would definitely recommend to our friends and will be returning when we are ready for our next home.
George Lima and Liz Gowins from the Fulcrum Properties Group were amazing! George was highly recommended from friends and I fully intend to recommend him to anyone I know looking for a house in DC. He was very quick at assessing our need and what we desired in a new home. His advice and recommendations were always helpful and insightful which was really comforting when buying a new home. Additionally, his connections within the different communities from contractors to great places to eat was an added bonus. Lastly, when it came to the purchase of our home George’s experience and knowledge were truly evident because I feel I was given honest and reliable information to make the best decision possible for my family.
Julie Wannamaker and the Fulcrum team are by far the best realtors out there and Im so glad I choose to go with her to help me buy my first home. She is knowledgeable, extremely responsive and really makes you / your experience a priority. She did a fantastic job of finding me the best properties, providing insights and pointing out things I may not have noticed without her. The amount of time and energy she put into making sure I had everything I needed to feel informed, even with my extremely detail oriented questions that the majority of people typically dont even think about, and ready to move forward was really incredible. I know I couldnt have had a better process with anyone else. Highly recommend her and the Fulcrum team to anyone looking to buy or sell!
Everyone warned me that buying a home would be one of the most stressful experiences of my life, so you can imagine how relieved, surprised, and impressed I was that thanks to the amazing efforts of Julie Wannamaker and her team the hardest part ended up being deciding on paint colors!This was my first home purchase and thus my first time using a buyers agent, but I did do a lot of research about what to look for in a good agent. Julie checked all of those boxes and I am still thanking my lucky stars that I met her at an open house and had her support during my purchase. She was first and foremost an advocate for my interests: I was looking at property in multi-family complexes, which means condo associations, bylaws, and lots and lots of building rules. She was my liaison with the building and made sure I got all of the information I needed to make a fully informed decision about whether or not to purchase. She made sure to keep things in writing, and when the building balked at a repair request as being outside of their responsibilities despite a prior commitment, she knew who to reach out to and how to diplomatically ensure that the information I was given was adhered to.Julie obviously knows her stuff, and she was always glad to answer my questions (and fortunately could explain the more unfamiliar terminology and procedures in a way that made sense to a first-time home buyer.) When there was something she didnt know (such a question about a particular characteristic of the building), she would always, always find me the answer.Julie and I communicated by both email and text, and I am immensely grateful to her responsiveness. I usually work 9-5, so being able to text her quickly during the day or get in touch in the evening meant that there were no unnecessary delays due to me being uncertain about next steps or the sellers waiting on an answer from me. Her colleague, Farah Oster, was also super helpful and responsive which I particularly appreciated as we got closer and closer to closing and she had valuable information and answers to my last-minute questions.I will without a doubt be recommending Julie and Fulcrum in the future.
Great transaction with Sunny! Worked with me through the entire process and was very responsive to any and all questions I had. highly recommend!!!
As first time sellers, we were very apprehensive of the process and the unknowns. We felt extremely overwhelmed until we had the Fulcrum properties group on board. They managed and thought of EVERYTHING. Tons of collaboration, timelines were well established, and suddenly we felt like we were in the perfect hands for this huge life change. The shining star of this team and our literal sanity savior was Madisen Goforth-Nguyễn. From the first time we met Madisen until way after the sale, she has gone far and above to ease our concerns, give us experienced advice, and advocate for us every step of the way. We are so lucky to have been able to work with Madisen and recommend her to anyone looking to sell their home, you will be in the best care.
Having been a residential real estate investor for over 30 years, and having gone through the property buying and selling processes countless times, I can unwaveringly make the following statements about Nikki Johnson’s performance as a Real Estate Professional. Nikki Johnson has represented me in 2018 as the seller’s agent and the buyer’s agent (never, however, both on a single deal). My requirements, always stringent, were listened to carefully and followed in detail. Follow-ups and follow throughs are always thorough and timely. Negotiations are managed with optimal tenacity and the highest integrity. The desired results, fair and efficient settlements, are skillfully delivered on every real estate transaction. For me, Nikki’s record of success is the result intense and ongoing study of the real estate profession; expert knowledge of the markets within which she operates; extensive experience especially with challenging deals like 1031 exchanges involving multiple properties; an expansive network of support personnel; and a genuinely engaging way of interacting with clients, other agents, and the personnel in the jurisdictions within which she works. When your need for a real estate professional arises, please know that I give Nikki Johnson my highest recommendation. Her performance is OUTSTANDING!
Originates unsolicited telemarketing calls for business development. And I am on the Do Not Call list.
Hutch Putnam and Fulcrums team handled every aspect of our home sale and closing exceptionally well. Highly Recommend!
Maria Fernandez, Paul Nalabandian, and Farah Oster were absolutely fantastic. Each person was extremely kind, patient, and helpful from the first day of searching for our new home to the day of closing. Their expertise, organization, and did I mention patience? were invaluable during, what most people refer to as being a very stressful experience. This team made it easy!
Working with the Fulcrum team was seamless, from our very first conversations by phone to our final closing. Yo-G was affirming, transparent, and supportive throughout the entire process - with a great sense of humor. As first time homebuyers, he helped us ask the right questions, and was patient with us as we learned the nuances of the process, cast our nets wide, and slowly honed in on our vision. Given the intensity of the market, Yo-G helped us strategize to gain a competitive edge and win out on our dream house. We couldn’t be happier and are so grateful to Yo-G and Fulcrum for all of their hard work.
They seem to only want one type of client and thus are discreetly racist. I would avoid this realty group if you are a person of color. I dont even think they hire anyone non-white in their HQ. Its quite sad to see in this day and age.
Fulcrum Properties Group and Temi are an amazing force to be reckoned with. They are truly a dream team and I was blessed to work with them to sell my first home. Temi and her team made the entire process of selling my first home a cake walk thanks to their immense knowledge and expertise when it came to the housing market. I cant thank them enough for the overwhelming support, advice and assistance Fulcrum provided me during the sale of my home. The handyman and cleaning services were really nice perks of working with the Fulcrum team. They are very organized and exacting from start to finish, and Temi is a true warrior and an excellent negotiator. She set a goal and we exceeded it. Thank you for all that you did to assist me in this process, this team is one of a kind!
Temi Akojie is one of the best realtor I ever dealt with. She performs at a higher level than anyone else. She conducts herself with a great sense of professionalism, patience acumen and integrity. She managed to deliver in different circumstances that required out of the box thinking and hard work to make the sale a realty. She is also backed by an excellent team of professionals. Farah Oster has been in constant contact with me and the buyer monitoring the required paperwork and making sure all the documents are in order. It has been a pleasure working this Keller William team. I highly recommend Temis services.
I cannot recommend Maria Fernandez more highly. From the beginning to the end of our home buying and selling transactions, she was the consummate professional and trusted adviser. She has helped us buy two homes now, and each time, she has the detailed knowledge needed to put together a strong, aggressive offer that will win in this competitive market. In addition to helping us nail a price point, she guided us through the additional terms that would make our offer stand out in competitive bidding situations. Both times, the whole package she advised us to put together won the day. During the inspection process, she knew how to expertly negotiate to ensure we were well protected long after the sale closed. She worked with us throughout the entire process to answer all of questions, and point us in the right direction whenever we needed outside guidance.On the selling side, she is an expert in bringing a home to market with a bang. She timed our entry into the market perfectly, and was steadfast and confident when discussing pricing strategies. She hand selected a staging company that truly highlighted our homes natural aesthetic, and pulled together a team who managed pre-market prep efficiently to maximize our value. Her team engaged in active pre-market advertisement, and had the home in prime condition on the day our listing went live. By the time we went to market, our home was perfectly positioned to get top price. As a result of the whole package she put together for us, we received multiple offers, and were under contract at the end of our first weekend on the market.She was invested, attentive, and responsive throughout the entire process! I always felt like we were her only clients, even though I know this was not the case! We are grateful for her expertise and kindness. We plan to stay in this home forever, but if circumstances change, theres no question wed call Maria immediately.
My partner and I have now worked with George on two real estate purchases. Geroge’s knowledge, connections, resourcefullness have made a world of difference for us. We have purchased several homes across the country and have never worked with an agent as good as George. If you’re buying or selling a home working with George will make the process easier.
