What Clients Say

Testimonials

This is my third transaction with Helen in 18 months. She has been marvelously supportive through both an estate settlement and the purchase and sale of my personal residences. Helen knows her market and knows what sells and how to help a seller prep a property to bring the highest price and fastest sale. She also knows how to counsel a buyer and help the buyer avoid problems down the road. Perhaps the most unique thing about Helen is that she values her client and works so hard; whether you are moving to a high-end home or a moderate price home, Helen puts forth the same amount of hard work, planning, and organization to get the deal closed the first time.

Helen Dodson has represented my wife and me in the purchase of three family homes and a series of investment properties. We own over a dozen properties; as buyers, every offer has been accepted because Helen provided timely and accurate market data and advice. Our selling price exceeded our expectations on our two sales. Helen's clear, focused, and winning process has helped my wife and me build a portfolio that has sustained us through good and challenging times. She is exceptional!

I had the opportunity of working with Helen three years ago. My mother had passed and selling her home in Colonial Village turned out to be full of complications and unexpected problems. I was unsure how to move forward, living in New Jersey. However, her extensive knowledge and winning personality helped connect me to the right people and guide me through a maze of requirements and a demanding process from the District of Columbia. I heartily recommend Helen Dodson for all your Real Estate needs.

I recommend Helen without hesitation or reservation. She sold my Shepherd Park home in four days, delivering four solid offers and negotiating a sale price significantly above asking price. I have since recommended Helen to friends as well as to my children, who are equally pleased with her professionalism and solid results. She is simply the best, thorough and transparent from start to finish, ethical, knowledgeable and a master of explaining exactly what is happening every step of the way.

Helen accurately researched comparables for my Beekman Place townhouse, helped to determine a realistic price, advised when and where I had leverage with buyers, and expeditiously moved the sale along. Concerning my purchase at the Park Sutton Condominium, she showed me numerous properties, identified the condo unit I ultimately purchased, and expeditiously handled all matters related to the purchase.

Helen always listened to what our needs were. She has helped us sell or buy homes about 5 different times. She is extremely knowledgeable about the business and always gets the job done. She was able to get an offer from a buyer on the first open house for the last two homes we sold. That was no small feat, and her marketing is always beautiful and professional.

Completing one of the DC home-buyers programs is daunting. Without a competent and reliable agent, it’s next to impossible. Helen went the extra mile: researching city policies, making sure home improvements were completed on time, and helping coordinate all the extra lenders. Few people know DC as she does. I couldn’t have done it without her.
