Trustworthy, reliable, knowledgeable, patient, and responsive describe Patricia Harris. As first time home buyers, my wife and I came to rely heavily on these traits as we purchased a condominium in Alexandria, and looked to Patricia to help us do it from overseas. Although we did extensive research on the home buying process, it was imperative and very comforting to have Patricia guide and hold our hands through the process. One of the most impressive qualities about Patricia is her responsiveness, even during weekends and off-hours. After providing our preferences, we were impressed at how quickly she began finding options that were what we wanted. A complicating factor was the fact we lived overseas; however, Patricia worked extremely well with us and was great about filming several units to give us a better idea, and being frank with us if she felt it didn't meet our needs.

After interviewing four real estate agents with experience in the Alexandria market, I engaged Patricia Harris to sell my home of 26 years. Ms. Harris had the best understanding of the Alexandria market, the value of my home and the best marketing plan.  Ms. Harris responded quickly. We agreed on a price that was higher than comparable neighborhood sales. Our asking price was $10,000 above a similar house on the market nearby. She suggested an excellent handyman to help with minor repairs and within a couple of weeks she hosted a very successful open house for a couple dozen agents. That was a Thursday . The plan was to have an open house the following Sunday. Friday she received a request to show the house. Prospective buyers showed up at 9am Saturday and by early afternoon Ms. Harris had a full-price offer. I was astounded. Ms. Harris continued her great service and expert advice through the negotiations and was at the settlement. Because of her great service, knowledge of the market and expert planning and follow-through I can highly recommend Patricia Harris.

Patricia was excellent from start to finish. Our house search took over a year and she was there for us whenever we needed her. She is very knowledgeable about current market conditions and structural/ building code issues (the latter was very helpful to us when we were considering older houses). Patricia was also very effective during the negotiating stage

I really can’t say enough good things about Patricia and the assistance she gave in selling our condo in Old Town.  Living out of state, I relied on Patricia to be my representation with outgoing renters, repair contractors, HOA employees, buyers, agents, and anyone needing access to our home.  She was always upbeat, willing to help, and 100% reliable.  When our renters moved out and repairs and staging decisions needed to be made, Patricia was a monumental help in focusing our efforts towards those things that would make a difference in selling our home.  Throughout all the stress of selling a home, Patricia’s smile and pleasant demeanor never wavered.  She is a real professional, with a critical eye and a warm and positive way of dealing with people.  I would highly recommend having Patricia help you sell your home… or find you a new one!

Patricia made my experience of buying my first home exciting all the way. She brings a strong knowledge of architecture and room planing to the table and can help to envision you and your furniture in your new place. If there are changes to be made to the place you can trust her knowledge of design and the construction business to make the best out of every place. Patricia knows every property there is in the Virginia and D.C. area and can help you see just the ones that fit you and your needs. Even if you are not the greatest negotiator Patricia will make sure you will get the best Deal. Buying a home can be stressful at times and you sometimes need more than a Realtor but a friend that holds your hand, she will always make you feel good about your decision. If you are looking for a new home you will spend a lot of time with your Realtor and Patricia is always fun hang out with and will make finding a place more like a treasure hunt than a stressful experience. If you are looking for somebody you can trust and who is on your side Patricia is your woman

Patricia Harris is a phenomenal agent! Calling her to sell my first home and purchase another one was the best decision I could have made. She recommended excellent resources to assist in purchasing my new home and connected me with top-notch technicians along the way. Her friendliness and professionalism made the process a pleasure. Patricia was always available for phone calls, texts, and emails. I put my trust in Patricia and it paid off.  Overall, Patricia is exceptionally knowledgeable, extremely patient, and dedicated to her clients. I highly recommend Patricia if you’re looking for a top-notch real estate agent!

Patricia Harris was my real estate agent when I purchased my condo. She listened to what I wanted and helped me identify properties that met my criteria. When I ran into trouble with financing (the property had too many investor-owned units), she came up with a couple of alternatives that avoided the problem. She was very helpful and I highly recommend her

Dear Patricia. Thanks for being so warm and friendly, and for all the followup during a challenging time! We love our new home!

It's been great working with Patricia, she really knows the VA/DC area market and would be happy to work with her again in the future! She has been really great to work with! Not only does she know the market, but she's on top of everything and makes the whole process very easy. Thank you

Patricia both sold my current home and found me a new home in a well-coordinated execution of actions and attention to detail that resulted in my purchase of a new home, sale of my current home, all within a 21-day time frame! Patricia negotiated an outstanding purchase price, perfectly matching my desires and price point to currently available inventory, then developed an offer package that appealed to the sellers needs and saved me thousands over comparable homes in the area. While negotiating my new home, Patricia was planning the sale of my current home. She had my home sold before my first mortgage payment was due!! Patricia’s 20+ years as architect and designer paid dividends in the sale of my home and also my new purchase. For the sale she staged my home with a combination of well-curated furniture and pieces from her own collection, saving me several thousand dollars. Once staged, I commented that maybe I should move back in! For my purchase she was able to let me see how I could add and subtract walls, closets, or do renovations that would make my perfect new home continue to stay fresh for years to come. Patricia’s attention to detail, outstanding negotiating skills, professional training (Architect/Designer, Realtor) and technical savvy (use of social media and photography etc) gave me piece of mind, maximized my return and saved $$ on my purchase – When I do this again, she’ll be my Realtor again. Just an absolutely delightful experience. She has great knowledge of real estate buying/selling, augmented by her knowledge of architecture - a great combination. She handled all phases well, was encouraging and enthusiastic throughout, and was delightful to work with

I expected that my first home purchase would be a stressful experience, but with Patricia as my agent, that was not the case. She was a true professional, and she was very helpful and readily available at all times! She also helped me with the negotiations and got a terrific deal on my first purchase. I feel good about having had such a positive experience and would HIGHLY recommend her services to anyone. Patricia, Thank you very much from the bottom of our hearts for being patient with our many questions and inquiries. You've kept the communications going strong the whole way, and made the process go as smooth as silk without inconvenience!

First rate listing services from start to finish. My house sold in a week because of Patricia's efforts. Would highly recommend her. Many thanks for your incredible help, professionalism and care.

Patricia. GOD bless YOU!

I would like to commend and praise the quality listing Realtor services provided by Ms. Patricia Harris in the sale last fall of my home in Virginia. Ms. Harris presented a comprehensive, professional, and informed listing presentation, provided invaluable help and advice in preparing my home for its first showings, including her own tasteful advice in staging my home. She provided multiple information venues for presenting my home’s listing and conducted two broker open houses and a public open house. Not only did Ms. Harris provide all those services above, but she also kindly lent a hand in the final hours of home listing preparation, as well as those of her able and helpful husband. She presented information regarding my house honestly and with great care. Her efforts bore fruit quickly. I received an offer within 15 days of my house?s listing. Ms. Harris expertly represented me in the negotiations of that contract and advised me regarding obtaining a title company and home warranty insurance, as well as other details regarding inspections and the final closing. I had lived in my home for 29 years so the process of selling it was involved and detail fraught. I was grateful for the help Ms. Harris provided and would recommend her to any prospective seller wholeheartedly and without reservation

We contacted Patricia upon a friend's recommendation and we were not disappointed. Patricia was wonderful to work with - knowledgeable about the DC housing market, very flexible with her availability, and a lot of fun to work with. We are very happy with the condo we bought. We would highly recommend Patricia to other buyers looking to navigate the DC housing market.

Patricia Harris worked with us for over six months before finding us our new condominium. We had a very difficult search as we were trying to find a hip apartment for our 24 year old daughter that would one day be a part time apartment for my wife and I. We tried to balance the active night life our daughter was seeking and the quiet, well-established neighborhood we would someday like to be in. We also had many diverse needs that we wanted to fill. Patricia's patience with us, her everlasting smiles and encouragement and her responsiveness kept us going when more than one of us was ready to call it quits. Patricia's architectural background brought a level of sophistication to the home buying process that other agents just don't have. See is also unbelievably responsive, sending, emails, documents, sketches research reports at all hours even while hosting her weekly cook out with her husband. If you are looking for someone who will attend to your every need while house hunting, you couldn't ask for a better agent than Patricia.

Patricia's un-tiring energy and warm sincerity and selflessness helped us find our perfect house. She was always "on", answered all our questions immediately and listened to all our needs and conditions. She has held our hands every step of the way. She is a great real estate agent. I want her to sell my current house next and will recommend her to anyone who asks without hesitation. Thank you

Patricia handled the sale of my Arlington property. When she first saw it, it was in need of considerable work. She was very honest in her assessment of its condition and managed to deftly convey criticisms in a kind yet direct manner. She has a large network of trades people and interviewed and negotiated contracts with them so I could get some of the needed repairs performed. She has great knowledge of real estate buying/selling, augmented by her knowledge of architecture - a great combination. She handled all phases well, was encouraging and enthusiastic throughout, and was delightful to work with
