Testimonials

John Plank did an outstanding job in selling our home. Through John’s efforts, we were able to save a great deal of time and headaches. Given the current down turn in the housing market, we were pleasantly surprised that he was able to secure the targeted price. In the time that we worked with John, we found him to be a valuable asset in the selling process. In a tough economy, he deftly negotiated the contract, conducted open houses and responded to all requests in a very expeditious fashion.  John has a very easy going demeanor and realistic perspective on what can be done and what is reasonable. In owning a business for almost 20 years, I have had the pleasure of working with some talented individuals. John absolutely belongs in the very talented category. In short, we strongly recommend John Plank for any Real Estate engagements. ~ Gregory

John Plank was a terrific find 15 years ago when I was a first-time buyer.  When I decided to downsize, I thought of no one else.  He handled the sale of my former condo and purchase of my current one with his impeccable knowledge and skill.  I very much value John’s experience and advice. ~ Gary

As a first-time buyer in a competitive market, my wife and I came to the home-searching process with a host of concerns and uncertainty.  While we had ideas on what we wanted, we knew we would benefit from the help of a knowledgeable real estate agent.  It could not have proved more true.  John Plank came to us on a hearty recommendation, and we cannot underscore our satisfaction with his professionalism and candor.  Time and again his observations and perspectives proved to be accurate, and kept us away from purchasing the wrong property at the wrong price.  John patiently represented our interests from beginning to end, and we are now elated homeowners.  His intimate knowledge of the local market, coupled with an amiable personality, sets John apart.  ~ Jordan & Amy

John is an excellent broker and I will highly recommend him to people looking to buy or sell a house. He is very knowledgeable, he takes care of all the details, he is well respected and we believe we worked with the best realtor in Arlington.  ~ Carla & Srikanth

We want you to know, that in our numerous real estate transactions (both as buyers and sellers), this was the smoothest one yet.  We believe that is due in large part to the outstanding services you provided.  You are a good listener and your expertise was valuable to us.  Of particular note was your attention to detail and your follow through.  We hope we have the opportunity to recommend your fine service and we would do so enthusiastically.  ~ Edward & Robert

I have used John as my agent in the purchase of my first home, the subsequent sale of that home, and in my current search for a new home.  At every turn, John has conducted himself with the utmost professionalism and courtesy.  He has been a tremendously supportive advocate for me.  John has gone above and beyond the call of duty in his role as my buyer-agent, and should be commended for this.  I have referred John to a number of friends and associates in the past, and will continue to do the same in the future.  This level of quality service is unfortunately not easy to find in today’s business community, and I hope that Long and Foster recognizes the asset they have in John.  ~ David

Now that our Washington house has been sold, I want to express in writing what I told you several times on the telephone.  Selling a house is almost always a trying undertaking.  And this one was particularly so since I was trying to sell a house with tenants while living 220 miles away.  As I told you, I engaged your services because of the very impressive mailing you had sent.  I received a number of solicitations, but called you because of the professionalism of your presentation.  Our telephone conversations confirmed my first impression, and your execution of marketing and selling the house was consistent with these earlier experiences.  I found myself comfortable relying on your judgment and advice, which seemed to be sound and sensible.  Both my husband and I found you patient and enormously helpful in dealing with the tenants and the numerous other details that can make the effort to sell a house rather burdensome.  Your efficiency and effectiveness were particularly welcome.  You should certainly be successful in your career, and we wish you the very best.  ~ Ann
