Brett Korade helped my husband and I sell our town home because we needed to find a larger home in light of our expanding family! From the initial meeting, we knew we were in good hands. Brett came prepared and truly made the entire home selling process easy. Brett is a consummate professional and he knew the market and what we needed to do to sell our place quickly! We had several above ask offers on our town home within 1/2 day of listing! Brett made the entire home selling process a dream! If you are in the Northern Virginia area and find yourself in need of a realtor you can trust, I cannot give a higher recommendation. You will be in great hands with Brett!

When my husband and I decided to retire last year to Virginia Beach, we asked Brett to help us market our home in Vienna. We first asked him to recommend a reliable realtor here in Virginia Beach. His recommendation was outstanding. Brett then jumped right in to get our home in Vienna ready to list. He worked tirelessly to help us market our home. Brett also took us around the area to get comps and decide on a listing price. We moved to Virginia Beach and completely left the sale of our home in his capable hands. He brought us several very good offers within 24 hours of listing the house. .we sold our home above the listed price. We were so happy with Brett's help that we referred him to our daughter and son-in-law. He also worked tirelessly with them, and they also sucessfully sold their home with Brett's team. I would highly recommend Brett and his team when you sell your home.

Brett was EXCEPTIONAL when it came to selling our home. He understood our unique needs as a military family and went above and beyond to market our home. He literally went door to door to tell our neighbors about the sale and how they could benefit from the sale. He selflessly (and probably painstakingly because I am not an interior designer) got our house immaculately ready to photograph and sell. Brett truly cares...not about the sale...but about us as a family. I have and would recommend him to anyone looking for a real estate agent!

We used Brett to sell our house and was not disappointed. He was really personable and friendly. We sold our house for a lot more than asking price before it went to market. He walked us through the entire process and made us feel comfortable selling the first home we ever owned. Lisa was there to help make the home present better and market it in the best light we could. She did and excellent job. What a great team! Highly recommend.

Brett was amazing to work with – In short, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience and more peace of mind than what he provided. It was a great experience that couldn’t have gone more smoothly . I was out of the country this year (7 time zones away) and my wife had to deal with the moving logistics without me. He was objective, knowledgeable, and did a great job ensuring that we identified what our priorities were when picking our new home. He was also great at talking us through our initial discussions to identify what things were the most important to us and to help us realize what our priorities were. His ability to pose questions in a thoughtful and reflective way were vital to our initial process. His knowledge of the local area (both from a market standpoint and a community standpoint) was also magnificent. He was a great advisor to us on what areas matched up with our priorities and also helped us through the offering and negotiation process – no small task in this area and market. I highly recommend Brett to anyone looking at purchasing a home in the D.C. area, especially moving military families who need an experienced real estate agent who understands the military moving process and is an expert in the area. We will definitely be reaching out to Brett for future business in the D.C. area.

Brett is the real deal. He earned my trust and will be the first person I call whenever I need real estate advice and services. I'm more than happy to talk to anyone about my experience working with Brett. It was literally all positive. He's a highly sophisticated, expert realtor that produced terrific (sorely needed) results for my wife and I following a frustrating experience with our original agent. He added value in so many ways, from using data-driven statistical methods to arrive at the perfect listing price to safely navigating us past complex negotiation points. His ability to see INTO the market and take the time to understand OUR goals got our home in Oakton sold for top dollar in under a week!!

One of my best friends is a highly successful realtor - in NC - not much help when one needs to sell their home in VA, but she did her research and wound up recommending Brett Korade. We'll be indebted to her forever, as the experience of selling our home was actually delightful rather than painful - all due to the dedication, experience, honesty, transparent wisdom and kindness of Brett. Brett does the background work, never assuming he knows all, the comps, latest in expectations and markets, utilizing social media to his clients advantage, as well as keeping a finger on the pulse of what's coming down the pike. He's responsive, prompt, congenial, thorough. Our move to a new state had progressed rather far when the Korades came into the picture, and it actually pained us to have already signed with a real estate agent in our new state as we would have gone with whomever Brett recommended. Our house in VA sold for over list price, and not just because it's a strong market. Brett (and Lisa) made all the difference. Just one example of his kind and thorough care - in January, 6 months after closing on our VA house - Brett made sure we had the ALTA for 2020 taxes - because he knows how paperwork so easily goes MIA in a move and he wanted to ensure we had 1 less thing to worry about. That's Brett.

I’d give 10 stars if Google would let me! When we started talking about buying our first house, it was terrifying and exciting. After starting working with Brett, the terrifying part went away. We could not have been in more capable hands. He took the time to explain every step of the process to us and make sure that we felt comfortable throughout the process. He answered every question we had, no matter how early or late we asked them. The house we purchased was a multiple offer situation and Brett was relentless in following up with the listing agent. In the end, we bought a home we absolutely love and could not have done so without Brett's patience, guidance and hard work. We would not hesitate to recommend Brett to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, he's the best out there!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Brett on purchasing a home in Warrenton, VA. Brett was wonderful to work with. He took the time to explain the real estate market in this area and he worked diligently in negotiating the purchase of our new home. He was always prepared to answer any question, always on time, and always available - answering texts and phone calls almost immediately. Brett went above and beyond and we would recommend Brett to anyone looking to purchase a home.

Brett provided outstanding service and support when we sold our home. He initially walked through the house with us and told us the things we needed to address to sell our home quickly. He answered all our questions, including what should be done and what was not critical to do. We followed his advice explicitly. His approach to listing the home was to reach out initially to our neighbors to invite them to a special open house. We had a full price contract within 24 hours! His service didn’t stop there; when the home inspection report identified a couple of issues that needed to be addressed, he went back to the house and verified the issues himself. With Brett, there are no surprises. He provides the most comprehensive real estate services we have ever experienced. You will be hard-pressed to find anyone who meets his standard for service.

Brett Korade is the definition of reliability, honesty, and tenacity. I had a new job prospect in a different state and we were considering purchasing a home to start a fresh chapter. However, there were many unknowns - we had a newborn on the way, we weren’t familiar with the new state, we weren’t familiar with the housing market, and my wife’s work was also uncertain. Brett sought to understand what we wanted and what our values were, rather than just “telling” us what we should do. He sought out his connections in the state, local housing market experts and financial experts, to help us make an informed decision. Brett was always professional, always timely, always on hand within an arms reach to help when we needed him. I would recommend him to all my closest friends, family, and colleague so moving forward. In this day and age, it’s difficult to find realtors who are seeking what’s best for his clients, not just for another paycheck. Brett is a 5/5 star expert realtor.

Brett was a rock star agent for us from end to end! We were first time home buyers and Brett was extremely educational and helpful for us throughout the process of buying our new home. We were in a competitive situation for the property we got and we would not have secured the house if it weren't for Brett! I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to buy in Arlington or anywhere in Northern VA.

My husband and I fell into Brett Korade's lap over the summer on accident. We decided it was time to make a change; sell our current house and buy a new one that would simplify our lives on a daily basis. When we bought our first home, a long time friend of ours was our agent. Unfortunately, she moved internationally and we didn’t know if we could find someone we could trust as much as her. Brett happened to be the agent who met us at the first house we went to see. We knew that day he was the person we needed to help guide us through this transition. Over the course of three months we looked at innumerable houses and placed offers on three of them. None of those houses would become our new home due to varying reasons. Meanwhile, our own home, with Brett’s guidance, was listed and sold in one day with multiple offers on the table! We were thrilled to have had such simple selling experience. We were under contract with no place to go and beginning to look for an apartment to rent. Then, two weeks prior to the closing date for our old home, we found “the one.” Everything we had hoped for in a house and more. A two week close is a fast turn around to get all the moving pieces aligned just as they should be and without skipping any steps in the process. Brett was instrumental in seeing that we navigated the purchase of our new home seamlessly all the while overseeing the final stages of the sale of our old home. And come closing day, both houses closed without so much as a hiccup thanks to all his preparation, hard work, and diligence. We were able to move directly from one home into another and sign closing documents all in one day thanks to Brett and his foresight. We could not have been more pleased with the sequence of events. All of this, however, does not capture Brett. His professionalism, timeliness, expertise, skill, wisdom, and experience all pale in comparison to his kindness, integrity, and patience. The saying, “if you can be anything in life, be kind,” is embodied in him. What you don’t see in the logistics of selling or buying a house is how Brett gained our trust quickly and completely with his integrity. How kindly he treated our aging Labrador retriever, letting him into the backyard or taking him on long walks when we couldn’t be home during inspections from our buyers. Or how he won the heart of our three year old son. As we would view each home, Brett would patiently play with our toddler, keeping him happily occupied so we had time to consider the house without interruptions. Brett joyously made paper airplanes with our son while we read through our closing documents in his office so that we could focus on the task at hand. He has become a common name in our house. “Mr. Brett’s” paper airplanes still grace our new living room and our son still lovingly remembers how much “Mr. Brett loves jets just like me.” He became a piece of our everyday lives and made a larger impact than he knows. The second morning we woke in our new house, our toddler ran into our bedroom and said, “Mommy! Our new house feels like my home now!” That was the moment we knew we had done the right thing. The moment we were so grateful that this “last minute home” had become ours. The moment all the rushing and worrying and work paid off two fold. The moment we knew that our gratitude towards Brett would be felt for years and years to come as new memories are made in our wonderful new home.

My husband and I worked with Brett when we were looking for a rental home. Two years later we used his services again when it was time to buy !! Brett and his wife Lisa are absolutely wonderful and we recommend them to all our friends ! We love that Brett was always punctual, planned ahead and always got our concerns addressed. We would definitely work with them again :)

Brett went above and beyond the call of duty to advocate for me in the process of buying my condo. He took the time to explain the steps, was in constant communication with me and the other people involved, trying to get the process to move as quickly and smoothly as possible. He was always available for questions, and responded to my texts immediately. I would highly recommend Brett as a knowledgable and caring professional.

Brett is an incredible agent. As a first time homebuyer, I have to say he was instrumental in assisting me to understand the whole process. He took great care to answer all my questions, and walked me through step by step. He was flexible when it came time to show me different places, and helped me understand what to look for.

Brett helped us keep our commute to and from work as minimal as possible. He was extremely flexible with us in our decision making process of whether to rent or purchase, how large a home to choose, and in which area. He set aside entire weekends during which he devoted his time to us. We appreciate his being with us at every stage of the process, literally from beginning to close...and second close. Thanks to Brett for helping find our new home in Fairfax!

Brett is the type of person you want to deal with. He always answers my call or returns my call very quickly. He makes good business decisions in your favor. He put his clients first. I wouldn't work with anyone else. Plus he's a veteran, that goes a long way with me. He's got the mentality of selfless service.

I've known Brett Korade (co-owner and realtor) personally for over three years. This Navy veteran and member of McLean Bible Church is a man of utmost integrity...honest, selfless, and professional. I highly recommend him for any real estate needs!

Today, I own my first home. I am from Northern Virginia, a recent college graduate, and with no parents in America. Sure, my parents occasionally visit me, but I had no family members to guide me while purchasing my first home. I only had Brett and his amazing team. I would not have been in much safer hands and it is an honor to recommend Brett to family members, friends, and to any person who is purchasing a home. Brett made the entire process look very simple and easy, but I highly doubt it was. Outside of this whole circus, he was always available not as an agent only but as guidance, whenever I was nervous and had a million questions circling my head desperate in need of answers. He always responded and was there for me. Brett was passionate to find the right home for me and with his support, I made my purchase! Thank you, Brett. In my most crucial time, you were my friend, family, agent, and support system all at the same time. Cheers to the new beginning of a lifetime friendship!

Buying a home out of state has its challenges. Compounding this challenge with a very “hot” market would have been impossible without the help of Brett Korade. Brett assisted us in finding the perfect home on our first visit to the Northern Virginia/DC area. Prior to closing, he helped us navigate the closing process and provided advice that impacted the closing in a positive way for us. The integrity and professionalism that Brett had was quite a surprise to the builder as well. After closing, he immediately contacted the builder and said “You overpaid me.” The builder's representative said that has never happened before. So if you want an honest, professional realtor with integrity who knows the Northern Virginia/DC market, do not hesitate to hire Brett.

From day of introduction to Brett, to our housewarming (that he threw), Brett was top flight!!! I haven’t met many people that stand out to be as meticulous as he is, which I think stems partly from his time as a Naval Aviator, but seems to be just part of his natural personality. I give Brett 100% of the credit for making into the house we were able to purchase. Read below... First Meeting: Over a cup of coffee at Starbucks, he asked us what we wanted in a house, where we wanted to buy, features we were looking for and price point, along with other criteria. As daunting as the first time home buying experience is, he patiently explained his way through all details more than once if needed in order to clear up any confusion that we may have had going in. The fact that his wife is a real estate broker and that he works hand-in-hand with an excellent mortgage broker, who knows how to achieve the best possible financial options for you should really help you move into a sound decision with 100% confidence. Financing: Do ask about not paying for closing costs and “OPM”. Doug Rice, his broker is a master at tailoring a deal around that and providing some of the lowest rates to be found. We managed to get into my home with NO CLOSING COSTS at no expense to the seller, or to us, which made us a really competitive buyer. House hunt: After each set of homes we looked at, he had us fill out a sheet stating what we did or didn’t like about each property to further narrow down our search. I feel this helped to reduce the time spent looking at homes we wouldn’t want. No matter what we wanted to see or when, he was very patient with us and even pointed out potential problems with certain properties. Bid: When we found “the one”, Brett coached us through the bidding process and advised us that in case things got down to the wire, the simple act of writing a sincere and heartfelt letter to the seller could help tip the scales to our favor. We set up the bid and escalation clause very cleverly so that it knocked out the majority of bidders. When there were only two of us left at the end of a bidding war, Brett ended up being absolutely spot on with his advice. It turned out the seller decided to accept our bid based solely on the letter we wrote. GREAT JOB BRETT!!! Housewarming: Brett goes above and beyond with his clients by throwing housewarming parties for them. Again, this was 100% his effort. Since I travel a lot, it was a challenge for me to even find a window to host an event. After I provided Brett the names and e-mails of my perspective guests, Brett explained that I should sit back and relax and let him take care of the details. Little did I know that with those e-mails, he even sent each guest a personalized video about the housewarming and explained details like parking around my neighborhood and also told each guest what to bring for food. Needless to say, the event turned out to be great! Kudos Brett Korade!!! I don’t think we could have made a better choice in realtors. He really goes to the extreme to ensure he goes above and beyond the call!

I used LAB Realty Group durning this crazy time of real estate and I could not be happier , I have already shared their info with about 5 friends that are moving out east. They are 100% professional and looked out for me and my family thru put the whole process. If you are moving to the DC area and looking for a house you have to use LAB Realty Group.

Brett went above and beyond to handle our listing as we had already moved out of state. We had nothing but great experiences with every aspect of selling our home, all thanks to Brett!

I’d give 10 stars if Google would let me! When we started talking about buying our first house, it was terrifying and exciting. After starting working with Brett, the terrifying part went away.

We would not hesitate to recommend Brett to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, he's the best out there!

Brett is a true professional and I thoroughly enjoyed working with him. He is extremely friendly and easy to communicate with. He listened to what I wanted and he found it for me. I would not use any other realtor. Added bonus, he's a veteran.

My fiancé and I purchased our first home with Brett during COVID, which speaks for itself! He appropriately and consistently managed our risk while we found the perfect home for us to start our family in. We look forward to working with him in the future for our next purchase!

Second review here covering our experience our second sale with Brett. USE BRETT FOR ALL YOUR REAL ESTATE NEEDS – he IS your competitive advantage!! He was a tremendous coach and mentor in guiding us thru the sale of our condo in Fairfax. He is a transparent and honest man who is dedicated to ensuring WE were able to make the best decisions for ourselves. Every interaction we had with him was effective and worth the time. He always had a solution to every problem we faced. Having him in our corner was a huge advantage, especially when negotiating. He has sound business judgment and is an excellent communicator. We were never pressured and always in the driver's seat – knowing we could trust Brett to keep us fully informed all along the process. It was clear that with Brett, people and the big picture come first. And, to top it all off, my kids and dog loved him. If you've found him, you're lucky.

Brett is the real deal. He earned my trust and will be the first person I call whenever I need real estate advice and services. I'm more than happy to talk to anyone about my experience working with Brett. It was literally all positive. He's a highly sophisticated, expert realtor that produced terrific (sorely needed) results for my wife and I following a frustrating experience with our original agent. He added value in so many ways, from using data-driven statistical methods to arrive at the perfect listing price to safely navigating us past complex negotiation points. His ability to see INTO the market and take the time to understand OUR goals got our home in Oakton sold for top dollar in under a week!!

Brett helped us through the entire process of purchasing a new construction home. This was our first time buying a house and we had no idea where to begin. Brett was patient and took time to explain everything. He is very knowledgeable and wants you to make the right choice that benefits you. Thanks Brett!

A very polite, respectful and easy to talk to person. The house sold in three days more than we could ask for. Brett was approachable , we developed a plan , went with it , the results were there. Brett was friendly , straight forward, helpful ,and caring. Whatever adjustments or requests made , Brett was very amenable to our needs as they developed during the sales process. Everything was spelled out so everything could be understood. We would recommend Brett to our family and friends which says it all right there. Though a business relationship , you felt as though you were friends, again that says it all right there. Many thanks to Brett.

Brett was a rock star agent for us from end to end! We were first time home buyers and Brett was extremely educational and helpful for us throughout the process of buying our new home. We were in a competitive situation for the property we got and we would not have secured the house if it weren't for Brett! I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to buy in Arlington or anywhere in Northern VA.

Brett was amazing to work with – In short, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience and more peace of mind than what he provided. It was a great experience that couldn’t have gone more smoothly 😊. I was out of the country this year (7 time zones away) and my wife had to deal with the moving logistics without me.

I highly recommend Brett to anyone looking at purchasing a home in the D.C. area, especially moving military families who need an experienced real estate agent who understands the military moving process and is an expert in the area. We will definitely be reaching out to Brett for future business in the D.C. area.

I was introduced to Brett when my former roommate bought her house, where I lived for a bit. When I was able to purchase my own, she quite enthusiastically referred me to him and we met over an after work coffee. He carefully explained every aspect of the home buying process, then went over my short- and long-term expectations. Very knowledgeable and friendly, always answered questions of mine quickly and completely. I will be recommending him to everyone I know that needs a realtor in the Northern Virginia area.

Brett was extremely knowledgeable with the whole home buying process and walked us through every step. He was receptive to our inputs and showed us properties that meet what we were looking for. He also had a good list of professionals that he was able to recommend that made the entire process easy. Brett is easy to talk to and was excellent at explaining everything from the market we were buying into to the closing process. His recommendations on what we should offer saved us thousands. Brett is definitely someone I will remain in contact with and has my highest recommendation.

Brett made home buying easy. He is knowledgeable, personable, and goes above and beyond. Being a military family we typically rent and it had been a number of years since we had purchased a home. Brett answered ALL my questions and was prompt to reply to our texts, phone calls and emails. He was able to negotiate a great deal and we are really enjoying our new home. I would definitely recommend Brett to anyone looking to buy a home.

Brett, handled everything in a very professional manner. I would recommend him for anyone looking for an agent. Kept track of what was going on at the house.

Brett recently sold my parents’ house in Fairfax Villa after they moved out of state, and it was far and away the smoothest transaction I have ever experienced. Brett went above and beyond what I expected from a realtor – he personally coordinated painting, lawn care and repairs to the house after my parents moved out to make everything as easy as possible. When it came to the transaction itself, we could not have been in better hands. He managed the pre-sale marketing and then the sale process expertly so that we had multiple offers at or around our listing price and negotiated with each prospective buyer to make sure my parents got the best deal in terms of price and certainty of closing. When the first contract fell through for buyer-related reasons, we were able to move to the second buyer efficiently without losing any time or pricing. Closing was extremely easy and Brett kept us well-informed throughout the process. We recommend Brett highly to anyone looking to sell their home.

When we started talking about buying our first house, it was terrifying and exciting. After starting working with Brett, the terrifying part went away. We could not have been in more capable hands. He took the time to explain every step of the process to us and make sure that we felt comfortable throughout the process.

We would not hesitate to recommend Brett to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, he's the best out there!

My husband and I fell into Brett Korade's lap over the summer on accident. We decided it was time to make a change; sell our current house and buy a new one that would simplify our lives on a daily basis. When we bought our first home, a long time friend of ours was our agent. Unfortunately, she moved internationally and we didn’t know if we could find someone we could trust as much as her.

We were able to move directly from one home into another and sign closing documents all in one day thanks to Brett and his foresight. We could not have been more pleased with the sequence of events. All of this, however, does not capture Brett. His professionalism, timeliness, expertise, skill, wisdom, and experience all pale in comparison to his kindness, integrity, and patience. The saying, “if you can be anything in life, be kind,” is embodied in him. What you don’t see in the logistics of selling or buying a house is how Brett gained our trust quickly and completely with his integrity. How kindly he treated our aging Labrador retriever, letting him into the backyard or taking him on long walks when we couldn’t be home during inspections from our buyers. Or how he won the heart of our three year old son. As we would view each home, Brett would patiently play with our toddler, keeping him happily occupied so we had time to consider the house without interruptions. Brett joyously made paper airplanes with our son while we read through our closing documents in his office so that we could focus on the task at hand. He has become a common name in our house. “Mr. Brett’s” paper airplanes still grace our new living room and our son still lovingly remembers how much “Mr. Brett loves jets just like me.” He became a piece of our everyday lives and made a larger impact than he knows. The second morning we woke in our new house, our toddler ran into our bedroom and said, “Mommy! Our new house feels like my home now!” That was the moment we knew we had done the right thing. The moment we were so grateful that this “last minute home” had become ours. The moment all the rushing and worrying and work paid off two fold. The moment we knew that our gratitude towards Brett would be felt for years and years to come as new memories are made in our wonderful new home.

My husband and I fell into Brett Korade's lap over the summer on accident. We decided it was time to make a change; sell our current house and buy a new one that would simplify our lives on a daily basis. When we bought our first home, a long time friend of ours was our agent. Unfortunately, she moved internationally and we didn’t know if we could find someone we could trust as much as her. Brett happened to be the agent who met us at the first house we went to see. We knew that day he was the person we needed to help guide us through this transition. Over the course of three months we looked at innumerable houses and placed offers on three of them. None of those houses would become our new home due to varying reasons. Meanwhile, our own home, with Brett’s guidance, was listed and sold in one day with multiple offers on the table! We were thrilled to have had such simple selling experience. We were under contract with no place to go and beginning to look for an apartment to rent. Then, two weeks prior to the closing date for our old home, we found “the one.” Everything we had hoped for in a house and more. A two week close is a fast turn around to get all the moving pieces aligned just as they should be and without skipping any steps in the process. Brett was instrumental in seeing that we navigated the purchase of our new home seamlessly all the while overseeing the final stages of the sale of our old home. And come closing day, both houses closed without so much as a hiccup thanks to all his preparation, hard work, and diligence. We were able to move directly from one home into another and sign closing documents all in one day thanks to Brett and his foresight. We could not have been more pleased with the sequence of events. All of this, however, does not capture Brett. His professionalism, timeliness, expertise, skill, wisdom, and experience all pale in comparison to his kindness, integrity, and patience. The saying, “if you can be anything in life, be kind,” is embodied in him.

Brett made our home purchase easy, delightful, profitable and quick! He negotiated the sale within the same day we saw it! He was 100% committed to assist us in this important investment- both personally and financially! If you are looking for a professional who is personally invested in your purchase- Brett is your # 1 REALTOR!

Brett Korade helped my husband and I find our dream home this year in light of our expanding family! Brett made the entire home buying process a dream! From the initial meeting through the house hunting process through contract negotiations through home inspections through closing, Brett displayed the highest level of professionalism and genuine care for our needs, and was present every step of the way. We found our new home the same week that Brett helped us sell our old home! It was honestly the best real estate experience we have ever had, very low stress! If you are in the Northern Virginia area and find yourself in need of a realtor you can trust, I cannot give a higher recommendation. You will be in great hands with Brett! Thank you again Brett Korade for helping us find our new home with sufficient time to prepare for Baby Girl Stevens' arrival!

My husband and I worked with Brett when we were looking for a rental home. Two years later we used his services again when it was time to buy !! Brett and his wife Lisa are absolutely wonderful and we recommend them to all our friends ! We love that Brett was always punctual, planned ahead and always got our questions answered ! Will definitely hire him again when the time comes :)

Brett was EXCEPTIONAL when it came to selling our home. He understood our unique needs as a military family and went above and beyond to market our home. He literally went door to door to tell our neighbors about the sale and how they could benefit from the sale. He selflessly (and probably painstakingly because I am not an interior designer) got our house immaculately ready to photograph and sell. Brett truly cares...not about the sale...but about us as a family. I have and would recommend him to anyone looking for a real estate agent!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Brett on purchasing a home in Warrenton, VA. Brett was wonderful to work with. He took the time to explain the real estate market in this area and he worked diligently in negotiating the purchase of our new home. He was always prepared to answer any question, always on time, and always available - answering texts and phone calls almost immediately. Brett went above and beyond and we would recommend Brett to anyone looking to purchase a home.

Brett provided outstanding service and support for us when we sold our home. He initially walked through the house with us and told us the things we needed to address to sell quickly. He answered all our questions, including what should be done and what was not critical to do. We followed his advice explicitly. His approach to listing the home was to reach out initially to all our neighbors to invite them to a special open house. We had a full price contract within 24 hours! His service didn't stop there; When the home inspection report identified a couple of issues to be addressed, he went back to the house and verified the issues himself. With Brett, there are no surprises and he provides the most comprehensive real estate services we have ever experienced. You will be hard-pressed to find anyone who meets his standard for service.

Brett is an incredible agent. As a first time homebuyer, I have to say he was instrumental in assisting me to understand the whole process. He took great care to answer all my questions, and walked me through step by step. He was flexible when it came time to show me different places, and helped me understand what to look for.

Brett was amazing to work with – In short, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience and more peace of mind than what he provided. It was a great experience that couldn’t have gone more smoothly 😊. I was out of the country this year (7 time zones away) and my wife had to deal with the moving logistics without me. He was objective, knowledgeable, and did a great job ensuring that we identified what our priorities were when picking our new home. He was also great at talking us through our initial discussions to identify what things were the most important to us and to help us realize what our priorities were. His ability to pose questions in a thoughtful and reflective way were vital to our initial process. His knowledge of the local area (both from a market standpoint and a community standpoint) was also magnificent. He was a great advisor to us on what areas matched up with our priorities and also helped us through the offering and negotiation process – no small task in this area and market. I highly recommend Brett to anyone looking at purchasing a home in the D.C. area, especially moving military families who need an experienced real estate agent who understands the military moving process and is an expert in the area. We will definitely be reaching out to Brett for future business in the D.C. area.

I was introduced to Brett when my former roommate bought her house, where I lived for a bit. When I was able to purchase my own, she quite enthusiastically referred me to him and we met over an after work coffee. He carefully explained every aspect of the home buying process, then went over my short- and long-term expectations. Very knowledgeable and friendly, always answered questions of mine quickly and completely. I will be recommending him to everyone I know that needs a realtor in the Northern Virginia area.

Brett was a rock star agent for us from end to end! We were first time home buyers and Brett was extremely educational and helpful for us throughout the process of buying our new home. We were in a competitive situation for the property we got and we would not have secured the house if it weren't for Brett! I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to buy in Arlington or anywhere in Northern VA.

When we started talking about buying our first house, it was terrifying and exciting. After starting working with Brett, the terrifying part went away. We could not have been in more capable hands. He took the time to explain every step of the process to us and make sure that we felt comfortable throughout the process. He answered every question we had, no matter how early or late we asked them. The house we purchased was a multiple offer situation and Brett was relentless in following up with the listing agent. In the end, we bought a home we absolutely love and could not have done so without Brett's patience, guidance and hard work. We would not hesitate to recommend Brett to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, he's the best out there!

Brett Korade made purchasing our dream home a GREAT experience! He was 100% committed to making our wish list a reality. He responded within minutes to every request and question! He is both professional and personal! And he strategically negotiated on our behalf and we were able to buy our home the day we saw it! Brett is THE REALTOR! Bravo!

We met Brett through a couple friend of ours who had a wonderful experience with him recently. Well, for us it was nothing short of excellent experience with Brett. We wanted to move to an area with better public school ratings for my now pre-k daughter. We had a long list of requests and limited resources. Brett made himself available all along the way and even walked us through the real process from searching to evaluating cost of reno for our current place, evaluating value of our current place,... In the end with his professional advice we decided to put our move on hold at least for now. He and his team always provided us with their genuine advice. I and my husband would definitely give Brett 5 star.

We used Brett to market and sell our house and he was excellent. His understanding of market conditions, suggestions for staging and minor improvements, communication skills, accessibility and responsiveness made our transition super easy. We ended up selling our house in less than a week! We felt good about the sale and the buyers felt good about the purchase because of Brett's knowledge and involvement...how often does that happen? Brett's transparency and approach are really refreshing...we can't recommend him highly enough.

Today, I own my first home. I am from Northern Virginia, a recent college graduate, and with no parents in America. Sure, my parents occasionally visit me, but I had no family members to guide me while purchasing my first home. I only had Brett and his amazing team. I would not have been in much safer hands and it is an honor to recommend Brett to family members, friends, and to any person who is purchasing a home. Brett made the entire process look very simple and easy, but I highly doubt it was. Outside of this whole circus, he was always available not as an agent only but as guidance, whenever I was nervous and had a million questions circling my head desperate in need of answers. He always responded and was there for me. Brett was passionate to find the right home for me and with his support, I made my purchase! Thank you, Brett. In my most crucial time, you were my friend, family, agent, and support system all at the same time. Cheers to the new beginning of a lifetime friendship!

We were steered to Brett Korade when we got the notice we were moving to Fairfax, Va. Brett helped us keep our commute to and from work as minimal as possible. He was extremely flexible with us in our decision making process of whether to rent or purchase, how large a home to choose, and in which area. He set aside entire weekends during which he devoted his time to us. We appreciate his being with us at every stage of the process, literally from beginning to close...and second close. Thanks Brett and Lisa for helping find our new home in Fairfax!
