REVIEWS

Phil DiRuggiero and his team at Engel & Völkers Washington DC were truly excellent in working to get our house under contract just five days after listing, for above list price. He walked us through strategy and marketing, and helped move our house quickly and for top-dollar (with multiple above-list-price offers). We were handling multiple life changes, changing jobs, a cross-country move, and putting our kids in new schools all while fixing our house and putting it on the market, but Phil made the renovations and listing as stress-free as possible. With his network, he was able to find quality contractors who did excellent work. He remained on top of each project at our house and the contractor responsible, prodding them to do touch-ups when necessary and keeping them on schedule. After we moved, he was our eyes and ears on the final steps and listing. Then, the listing and sale were as seamless as could be: Phil and his team handled one weekend of open houses and received great feedback and above-list price offers. He helped us negotiate an excellent result. We've used Phil's team for purchasing and selling homes and give them an unqualified recommendation.

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!
