REVIEWS

Working with Phil Di Ruggiero of Engel & Völkers, Washington DC was a fantastic experience! From our very first meeting to the final closing, he showcased outstanding professionalism, deep market knowledge, and a true dedication to keeping me informed throughout the process. As a first-time buyer, this was especially important to me. He and his team were always responsive, patient, and willing to go the extra mile to ensure I understood each step. When the closing date was moved up, I was nervous about everything coming together on time, but Phil provided constant reassurance and guidance. His recommendations for top-notch home inspectors, mortgage brokers, insurance providers and title company made the entire process seamless. I highly recommend Phil to anyone in need of a reliable and knowledgeable real estate professional!

Quite simply, Phil is an expert at pricing, marketing, communication and negotiation. I wanted to sell my meticulously and lovingly restored Victorian rowhome in the middle of winter. My goal was a quick sale, yet I didn't want to sacrifice the value that I'd created in the home over years of restoring & maintaining it -- a difficult needle to thread. Phil's knowledge of the market was impeccable. He presented a thorough market analysis and ultimately, we chose the perfect price point. The combined impact of his pricing and marketing of my home led to three offers after less than a week on the market (despite terrible weather). Moreover, I got more than my asking price and set a new comp for my neighborhood.I found that I completely relied on his input about how to present the house -- from finding the perfect stager to the best lighting, Phil's advice never led me astray. His expertise, experience, network and command of the process were most apparent as we approached the final stages of negotiating and closing the sale. I trusted him completely to manage the different offers, communicate with me about the offer process, help me navigate that process, and ultimately, ensure that the sale closed smoothly. Phil was both and advocate and a realist throughout, and I am so grateful to him.Selling an older, quirky home can be a harrowing experience, particularly under pressured circumstances. You need an expert, sophisticated agent who will communicate calmly and clearly with you, be your advocate while also being realistic with you about how to get as close to your goals as possible. Phil is that advocate and expert. I honestly cannot recommend him highly enough and could not be happier with the outcome in my case.
