""David Connell is the absolute best real estate agent with whom we have ever had the pleasure of working. Dave is extremely knowledgeable, practical, and honest. At the same time, Dave was always patient and considerate of everything we wanted (even when our expectations were not very realistic). Dave gives terrific advice and help and then lets you make your own decision. Thanks to Dave, we found two very unique properties priced well below market value and Dave?s savvy negotiating skills saved us an additional 5% that no other client in the same neighborhood received. David in one of a kind: a rare find.
Best of all, Dave has that all-too-rare quality: integrity. Whatever he says you can count on and whatever he promises he delivers. We cannot tell you what an experience it is working with Dave. We went looking for a real estate agent and ended up finding a friend. Thank you, Keller Williams and thank you, Dave Connell!"

"After living in our condo for a month, we wanted to thank you and your team for the efforts you put into securing our new home. We are happily situated and know that without your team, we might still be waiting on the other real estate company. You and your team's persistence helped this go through and assured our peace of mind. Thank you again for your dedication to us." back to top

"Karen was a fortunate find on the internet by my daughter, who lives in N. Virginia. I visited her at the end of October '08 to look for property we were up and running. I only had 10 days before returning to California. As soon as Karen knew what I wanted, she took me to various properties which she felt suited me. After several viewings, I found a place which suited my needs and returned to CA. Karen led me through the maze of paper work via email. By the time I arrived back in VA. for the closing on 17th December, 2008, the "Walk Through" with my daughter and son-in-law and final approval had been completed. I cannot praise Karen enough for her professional approach and turn around response to my queries via email. I recommend her highly and rank Karen at the top of her profession.

"As first time homebuyers, my husband and I expected the process to be difficult and stressful. Fortunately, thanks to Karen, our experience was exactly the opposite. She patiently answered our many questions and and guided us every step of the way. Although we knew she was busy, Karen always made us feel that we were her top priority. She took the time to fully understand our needs, and drew upon her extensive knowledge base to provide us great advice throughout the home-buying process. Karen not only made our first purchase a success--she made it enjoyable. We would definitely recommend Karen to anyone in the process of purchasing a home." back to top

"My experience with Karen was a very positive and helpful one. I was looking to buy in Arlington, Virginia. As a first-time home buyer, I had a lot of questions and many things to learn. I was getting information from all sorts of sources--friends, mortgage brokers, and even other realtors. However, Karen proved to be the most knowledgeable and straight about opportunities in Arlington. She helped sort out what would be important and what would be difficult in setting up a new home. I ended up relying on her simply because she provided the best service.
Karen was always patient and supportive, even when there were hiccups right before my closing. I strongly recommend her to anyone looking to buy properties in the area." back to top

"Karen was a great agent! We were referred to her, and within minutes we
were talking real estate. We were on the west coast, and talking with
Karen constantly for over a month before visiting the area to look at
houses. Karen made it easy by not only answering all of our questions,
but also anticipating what we would need. Her vast knowledge of Northern
Virginia really came in handy in narrowing down our choice of locations
(especially important for out of towners). During home walkthroughs she
was always there to answer our questions and bounce ideas off. Even after
the sale she has continued to help us resolve new homeowner issues. We
will continue to recommend Karen to others." back to top

"We had the good fortune of working with Karen Parker on our recent home purchase in Northern Virginia. Being in the military, we?ve had our share of moves and real estate agents and without question, Karen is the best. She knows the market, shares her opinion, asks the right questions, and most important to us, is very responsive. Living out of state, we sent Karen our first email and 12 minutes later we were discuss ing our home needs with her. That type of responsiveness remained throughout the entire home buying process. She is the epitome of the professional real estate agent whose knowledge, experience, and approach sets her apart. She always made us feel like we were her number one priority. If you are buying or selling a home, you want Karen on your team" back to top

"We are sure that our home would not have sold as quickly as it did if Karen was not our agent. We were competing with 60 new homes for sale in our zip code. Karen's savvy staging skills and pricing expertise helped sell our home in under 7 weeks, while other homes on our block are still for sale over 7 months later.
When searching for a home to purchase, Karen patiently showed us home after home in our desired zip codes. Karen is so down to earth and easy going, I looked forward to driving around with her each weekend. She was never pushy or impatient, even though she ended up showing us over 50 homes with many of our family members in tow! She noticed important qualities about the homes we were looking at - from potential home inspection items to investment potential - Karen quickly provided sound facts to help us make the best decisions.
When we found our dream home, Karen made the buying process a cinch. She coordinated important paperwork and due dates, making it easy for us to prepare for one of the most important purchases we'll ever make. We feel confident recommending Karen to any buyer or seller that comes our way - she's truly the best of the best!

"Karen was fantastic! Moving to Virginia was overwhelming and Karen was right there to help in every way possible. Her experience was obvious - she was incredibly familiar with the areas and with all aspects of the home buying process. She made it easy! In addition to helping us find the perfect house, she got to know us personally and made sure we were doing well. When we found the perfect house, she celebrated with us! We would highly recommend Karen for anyone buying a house. We won't use anyone else in the future!

"Being first time home buyers, we both had a bunch of questions and concerns about the overall process and about selecting a house. Karen, with an exceptional amount of patience (we saw almost every house listed on MLS in our price range), answered all of our questions and addressed all of our concerns. While shopping for our home, Karen demonstrated her wealth of knowledge about the Northern Virginia area, and assisted us in determining what areas we would be able to find a house that satisfies both our needs and desires. If we were to buy a new house, we would be privileged if Karen would act as our agent again.
