-Mona was my agent on my recent house purchase and she was wonderful to work with. She is easy to reach, entertained all of my questions and made sure my interests were protected throughout the process. Agents are not just there to find you a house, they are there to help you through the process of purchasing, negotiating and making sure you are well represented throughout the transaction. Mona did all of this for me. I highly recommend her.

-Mona Hope was instrumental in our recent home buying experience. We found Mona to be articulate, knowledgeable and personable. She responded to our call and email requests and proactively shared new information in a timely manner. One of her strengths that we especially appreciated was her willingness to show properties she'd found as well as those we’d found in searching the internet. She always let us be in the lead on how many and how often we wanted to see properties; she pointed out positives and negatives in the places we saw; and most importantly to us, Mona fought for us when issues arose surrounding our offer. Thanks in large part to her efforts, we were able to purchase our new home.

She put up with us for several months, viewing home after home, and always showed the utmost in patience and professionalism. If we ever have to buy another house (hopefully we won't) there's no doubt we will be teaming up with Mona again.

-My fiancé and I had Mona and her team helping us secure our first home. We hadn't expected it to be as difficult as it was, but Mona kept our spirits up and was completely confident that she would be able to find our home. We just closed on our townhouse at just under the list price. Mona and her team were absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. Every question, query, and random thought was answered quickly and in first-time buyer simplicity. We would highly, HIGHLY recommend Mona as a real estate agent and her lenders. Their close business ties and personal friendship make a lethal combination for sellers and buyers alike.

-I worked with Mona before leaving ZIP Realty several months ago and I already knew her to be a competent, dedicated agent who stays with her clients through the trials and tribulations of completing real estate deals. But I was in the unenviable position of having to sell to buy, and complete coinciding settlements, so there were certainly additional challenges. Add to that my own inherent knowledge of real estate in general, and extreme detail-orientation, Mona had her work cut out for her to manage me and my whole process :) A couple times she had to (as I put it) talk me off the ledge when things got a little difficult re: some of the details surrounding the whole sell/buy process. But all of this she did with grace and awareness for the things I needed to feel comfortable and ultimately have successful deals, both in selling my home and buying my new one. I would recommend Mona to anyone looking to sell or buy a home in the greater Washington DC area - she knows her market, the paperwork, and this is her full time job about which she cares and it shows.

-We have worked with Mona for over a year and have dragged her from Loudoun County, VA up through Frederick County, MD. We changed our minds, put bids on houses, withdrew bids, liked houses, panicked and rescinded offers, all the while Mona stuck with us and gave us her honest input and advice. Many other realtors may have become frustrated and fed up with our indecision and waffling, Mona stuck with us and honored every request we had. In addition, Mona was willing to be honest with us as opposed to pushing a sale on us. We would definitely recommend Mona to friends coming to this area. If we end up relocating in a few years, we would certainly use Mona for the sale of our house. Mona is professional as well as outgoing and assertive in her real estate dealings. We would highly recommend Mona as a realtor.

-I felt as if Mona didn't maintain consistent contact with me throughout the process. At times I didn't receive a prompt response to inquiries and felt as if I was a bother, not a client.

MONA'S RESPONSE

I felt terrible that this client felt neglected on any level. However, during the buying process, he had been out of the country for a couple of weeks and it did prove to be difficult connecting. Not sure he understood that when I am with a client I do not answer any other phone calls as my attention is committed 100% to that client at the time.

I did feel that I had found him a great home way beyond his expectations and negotiated a phenomenal price for him and his family.

In other words... Mona Rocks!

At the start, I had a specific home type (town home) in mind, but she offered ideas for consideration which enabled me to broaden my search to include other housing types to meet my long-term needs. She responded promptly to my questions and alerted me to specfic issues that might impacted my decisions.

-It seemed throughout the whole transaction that we were representing ourselves. Mona gave us the paperwork to fill out and sign for the offer but didn't make any suggestions that would help in any way. I was very dissatisfied with the level of expertise. I felt this was a discount realty firm that left us to look for the houses ask the pertinent questions and make the offer. I feel the level of service was the lowest I have ever encountered.
