REVIEWS

Phil and his team are A class, a true standard bearer for real estate in the DMV. As my agent, Phil provided expert and insightful guidance, took his time to explain the vicissitudes of the process, and always made himself available (including on weekends). Phil doesn't miss the details, and he is a strong advocate for his clients - he will ask the right questions, defend your interests, raise red flags in real time, and aim to get you the best deal. His team is also super friendly, responsive, and great at following up on action items. Most notably, Phil's experience in the industry is invaluable, and this definitely proves useful when facing the inevitable challenge. Thank you, Phil and the team at E&V!

Phil did an oustanding job in helping me sell a six unit apartment building while I was overseas. He is very familiar with the intricacies of the DC regulations and the TOPA process, and helped me navigate seamlessly through what could have been a very complex transaction process. He communciate with me regularly and consistently through all the process, and helped me take the informed decisions at every step of the way.
