The Abrams Group

My daughter and son-in-law were recommended to Ellen when they were ready to buy their first home. I accompanied my daughter to see several houses and got to know Ellen. When I was ready to downsize I called her. My purchase was difficult but Ellen handled everything perfectly with diplomacy and patience. She is a very knowledgeable and skillful negotiator and knew what was important to me. When it came time to sell my family home of 36 years I was persuaded out of family loyalty to list with another brokerage. The most important component when selling your home is the listing price, and it’s crucial to listen to the “pros.” We hear about the big sa...

Prior to selling our current home, my wife, Pat, and I had done three real estate transactions with Ellen, each one quick, painless, and ending in great result. When it came time to sell our family home in Chevy Chase Village, we pretty much expected the same outcome. The market, however, had different plans for us, and it was through this more complicated and challenging transaction that we came to realize the true value of Ellen. Throughout this often stressful process, she was the epitome of professionalism. She was always available, and not just by phone but for frequent face-to-face discussions. She was tireless in her efforts to get our house ...

My husband and I decided to purchase our first home in early 2013 just as the local real estate market turned, becoming fiercely competitive. We were deer in the headlights. Ellen was remarkable– helping us to understand our options and strategize the buying process. More importantly, she just “got” us. She quickly understood what we were looking for and what would and wouldn’t work for our family. In the end, her instincts and years of experience put us in our wonderful home. She called us up one morning to say she had just seen a property that wasn’t listed yet, but that was perfect for us– and it was. Right location, right price, right size, righ...

Courtney was my buyers agent for my very first property buy and made the process smooth, easy, and as stress free as possible, even with a 28 day escrow! I was looking for an agent and Courtney was referred to me by another friend, who also had a great experience. I was looking for a Realtor who was knowledgeable, patient, extremely responsive, and understood what I was looking for and what my needs were as a buyer. Courtney was all those and more! She explained everything, helped me put together a competitive offer, and made sure everything was taken care of with the seller's agent, without me having to ask. I would recommend Courtney to anyone who...

We had the unique pleasure of working with Courtney Abrams. We highly recommend her for anyone seeking a trustworthy, talented and dedicated realtor. In a highly competitive and limited market, Courtney created a successful strategy that we believe was the primary factor in our ability to purchase the condominium of our dreams. Her dedicated work provided us an offer before our property was even listed and we sold above our asking price in five days. Bottom-line: Courtney is exceptionally qualified and highly effective in achieving the objectives of her clients. There is no doubt in our minds that without Courtney’s particular dedication and experie...

One of the hardest and most stressful things you can do is buy (and sell) a house. Ellen made the process as painless as possible! I had the good fortune to work with Ellen this summer. Not only did she help me sell my house in very short order, but she helped me find my dream house! Ellen is truly the best! She is smart, easy to work with, on top of every detail, always accommodating, and she knows the District of Columbia area real estate market in and out. She helped me every step of the way. I never could have survived the process without her. I can’t say enough good things about her.

Working with Courtney was a pleasure from start to finish. She is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and professional. She patiently and expertly answered all of my endless questions and made me much more confident as a buyer. We looked at a ton of houses but I never felt rushed, and Courtney genuinely seemed to want to find me the perfect place, no matter how long it took. By the end of our search she knew exactly what I was looking for and found me an amazing condo. Her help with everything from the search to the closing was invaluable, I would recommend her to absolutely anyone.

This letter is to thank you for the excellent job you did in selling my mother’s house this spring. Your upbeat and positive manner went a long way toward keeping us motivated and on course through it all. Additionally, your estimate on the potential sale price was right on the mark and the events leading up to the sale went off just as you said they would. It isn’t often that one feels as secure in a business transaction as we did with you. May you have continued success and happy clients.

My family and I have bought and sold more than a dozen homes with Ellen over the last twenty-plus years. Her professionalism and personality help to alleviate the stress associated with what can be one of the most difficult and significant decisions we make in our lifetime. We are especially please with her in-depth knowledge of the real estate market in the Washington region. We feel lucky to have found her and can’t recommend her highly enough.

Courtney is amazing! She made buying my first home an incredibly smooth and seamless process. She is local to the District of Columbia area and incredibly familiar with the market here. I was actually referred to her by someone else, but after getting to know Courtney, I am so glad it worked out that way - I now consider her a good friend. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home in District of Columbia.

We have worked with Ellen for the past 25 years. We have bought and sold through her and with her guidance multiple times. Without exception, each experience has been great. She understands what her clients are looking for. The list of superlatives to describe working with her would take two pages, but integrity, honesty, and total professionalism are at the top of the list. You're in great hands.

Fantastic! Courtney is hard working, knowledgeable, responsive, and very professional. From the very beginning she kept me informed every step of the way. Her advice was spot on and it helped sell my house very quickly. She is also very personable and had my best interest at heart. I definitely recommend her to anyone trying to sell their house.

Courtney made selling my condo, an otherwise nerve-wracking experience, tolerable. She was extremely patient, responsive and knowledgeable about the District of Columbia area and the real estate market. Courtney truly cares about her clients. Above all, she is kind and a pleasure to work with.
