Raoul and Leah Magana- Old Town ALEXANDRIA

  When my wife and I moved to the DC area from Hawaii, we didn’t know whether we wanted to buy or rent, much less where we should live or what we could afford.  We figured that we would just find a place on Craigslist or real estate sites like we had in Hawaii, but we very quickly found ourselves completely overwhelmed in such a large and diverse market.  Fortunately a friend of ours, who had enjoyed a great experience buying their house, recommended Pam to us.  Pam’s patience, professionalism, and general good cheer through the entire process not only landed us in a great house in a great neighborhood at a great price but also made finding our house a pleasant experience.

  We were not prepared for how complex the real estate market in the DC area is.  After going to dozens of open houses that were always in a part of town that we did not realize were the wrong part or did not look anything like the pictures, we were really frustrated.  After we were put in touch with Pam though, she walked us through our options in a completely sensible and understandable manner.  She helped us to prioritize what we wanted in a house and a neighborhood so that we could start to search in a coherent way and find a really great place that fits us.  She listened throughout, and I never at any moment felt like Pam was trying to push us to pick something so that she could move on.  I honestly felt like Pam was committed to helping us find the right place no matter how long it took. 

  Once we settled on a house and got into escrow, Pam was as spectacular as she had been while we were finding the house.  She recommended great people for inspections and made sure that all the issues that arose were taken care of so that we were totally comfortable with the house we bought.  Pam helped us find a loan officer who was able to get us a loan even in the currently extremely tight market, and a very helpful escrow company.  Even though we walked into the home buying process here in DC a bit more naïve than would have been best, we had a totally successful experience because Pam got us through.

 

  Our experience with Pam was outstanding across the board, and I could not recommend her more highly. 

Raoul and Leah Magana, happy homeowners OLD TOWN ALEXANDRIA,

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of working with Pamela Dargue; she was key in helping us find and purchase our perfect home. Pamela is a warm and caring person who is attune to helping her clients find exactly what they are looking for.  She found many options in the Northern Virginia area that met our price point and size requirements and she spent a lot of time helping us refine down that list.  She was always quite accessible and was very flexible with her schedule.  She made making an offer on the house simple and the closing ran quite seamlessly.  She had very good recommendations when it came to getting maintenance work done before we moved into the house, and has still been helpful well after closing.  Pamela is an excellent real estate agent who truly loves her job and is a great person to work with.

I sold a condominium in Arlington , VA in June of 2010.  With the help of Pamela , my experience was a seamless, positive transaction.  Pamela's experience and knowledge of the market allowed me to take the necessary steps to
get the property ready for sale.  Due to her very positive nature and efficiency in dealing with people, it turned out to be a great experience.  We were able to sell the property quickly (less than 24 hours on the market) and for a great
price (well above the listing price).

As an airline pilot working an international schedule, I needed someone I could trust to deal with all of the issues that come with any real estate transaction. Pamela was there for me to deal with everything efficiently while I was
unavailable out of the country for four or five days at a time.  I highly recommend Pamela to anyone in need of a realtor in the DC area.  If I ever relocate back to the area, she will be the first person I call.

I am happy to give the highest recommendation to Pamela Dargue, who just helped me complete the sale of my condominium and the purchase of my new home in Reston.  Although I’ve know Pamela for years socially, I had no idea how knowledgeable and professional a Realtor Pamela is. By the end of Pamela’s listing presentation I had no reservations listing my house with her. She anticipated my questions and concerns and addressed them before I needed to.  Pamela gave me solid advice regarding the presentation of my home and put together a very impressive marketing plan. 
 
The marketing and sale of my condo was professional, thorough, and executed in a very timely manner.  While Pamela was marketing my condo she was also on the lookout for my new home.   After looking at quite a few homes, Pamela knew what I wanted and didn’t waste my time showing me anything that didn’t fit my needs.  When she called me while I was out of town and told me that she had found my house, I came home the next day and made an offer.
 
I will definitely use Pamela again when it is time to buy or sell property. Pamela took care of the details and made the transactions seem easy. She worked with the appraisers, home inspectors, mortgage brokers, and other realtors so I didn’t have to sweat the details.  I’ve already recommended Pamela to all of my friends and don’t hesitate recommending  her to anyone else.

As a first time home buyer, I was initially quite overwhelmed at the thought of purchasing a condo. I couldn't have been luckier to have been referred to Pamela Dargue. From our first meeting, Pam was exceptional in understanding my needs and ensuring I understood the entire home buying process. She was clearly focused on what is best for me as an individual. Even more impressive, Pam was always willing to adjust her schedule to accommodate my limited availability. Additionally, her personality made the search enjoyable rather than stressful. Because of Pam, I now own a beautiful Clarendon condo. Whether you're looking to purchase your first home or your fifteenth home, I would recommend Pam without hesitation!

Jennifer and Chris Sheedy, ALEXANDRIA, VA

Some people go their entire lives not knowing their true calling. Well, there’s no mistaking it—Pam Dargue’s calling is real estate. We were looking to sell our Alexandria home in the toughest of markets, our previous realtor wasn’t working out, and we were about to give it all up when we met Pam. She worked to restore our confidence, and motivated us to get back on track. Her incredible attention to detail, guiding us through the listing process step by step was enough to convince us to leave the worries to her. Pam’s marketing strategies are cutting edge, and once we put our trust in her, the rest fell into place. We sold our home just slightly below asking price, in highly respectable time, and her constant follow-up with the buyer’s agent left nothing to chance.

Pam also helped us buy a beautiful home--her knowledge of the market, other local agents, and raw instinct allowed us to land an unimaginable deal. When we encountered a snafu with our loan, Pam was relentless in her contacts with the lender, and even made arrangements with the title company to close on our home just for us on a holiday weekend!!! Her dedication is unparalleled—she will fight for you, and hold others to the same ethical standard that she lives and works by.

Pamela Dargue is one of the most impressive professionals I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing.  Her deep knowledge of the market, of the mortgage process, and of the best ways of staging a property made her an extraordinary real estate agent for my family as we sold our parents’ house in West Springfield.  She guided me through the renovation of their lovely but out of date home and made sure that it was “turn key ready” before it was ever put on the market.  Her common sense, hard work, and willingness to do what few others do resulted in a beautiful and persuasive advertising brochure, a terrific presentation to other agents, and a fantastic open house that led to a sale a few days later.  Then, Pamela made sure that the financing, appraisal, home inspection, and buyers’ requests were handled smoothly and that the deal went through without a hitch.  From the outset, she was determined, polished, and immensely helpful.  She made things happen in a difficult economic environment where only the best agents could be successful.  Her enthusiasm, diligence, and kindness made a difficult process much easier for me and my family.  We are grateful for her expertise and her passion for excellence and know that without her exceptional talents we simply would not have sold the home that our parents loved so much so quickly and for such a fair price.

I would be thrilled to have Pamela Dargue as my representative in any future property transactions.  Her knowledge, professionalism, personal magnetism, and work ethic make her an unbelievably effective real estate agent.

Jason Underwood and Elizabeth Shea-VIENNA VA

   
In the Summer of 2007, we had the opportunity to purchase our dream home, and the daunting task of selling our existing home in increasingly difficult market. Because our new home would be the one that we would call home for the next 20 years, we were extremely particular about what we wanted in our house.

Our Realtor, Pam Dargue was so patient in the process of determining exactly what we wanted in our new home, as well as drawing our attention to other items that we may not have considered. Because of this, she was able to narrow down our search of potential properties and help us concentrate on finding our Valhalla.

A monumental task in a market that was already oversaturated with inventory and new home offers. In a few weeks, Pam pointed us toward the perfect house in Vienna that we now call home. We had a blast during the process, and it was great to have her share in our excitement. We were so happy with our find, and Pam walked us through the lender prequal, offer, counter-offer, ratification and settlement in...get this...less than 3 weeks!! After we moved into our new home we asked Pam to sell our existing home in Falls Church in the Sept 07. We were concerned with the declining market we would be waiting a long time for a sale. Not Pam, she marketed it, held open houses and it sold and settled within 60 days. It was amazing, other houses in our neighborhood were still sitting there before and after our sale.

We were so very happy with our experience with Pam. We love our home and will refer her to everyone we know.

 "My wife and I were moving into the area from out of town and were really worried about finding a home. Pam made if very easy for us.  When we came in to look, she had all of the listings ready and after speaking with us and getting feed back on the first few homes she was able to zero in on exactly the kind of home that we were looking for.  Her organization and professionalism made what could have been a tough situation very easy to deal with."

The Galjan's - ALEXANDRIA, VA

My wife and I were first time home buyers in 2003 – a sellers' market. We were looking for something unique in a high-growth area in Alexandria. Though it wasn't easy to describe the house we were looking for, Pamela listened very carefully to what we were saying about just a few properties we saw together. When the perfect house for us came on the market, Pamela immediately brought it to our attention.

Though we had no experience in purchasing a new home, Pamela expertly guided us through the entire process. We were surprised at how pleasant the experience was. Pamela was completely dedicated to our purchase, not only addressing all of our concerns, but managing the relationship with the seller so that everything went smoothly (at
least from our perspective).

Three years later, we found ourselves relocating to the New England area. We knew that Pamela was an excellent buyers' agent, but the seller experience is very different. So we interviewed several different agents, including Pamela. Of all the agents we spoke with her research was the most thorough. She also outlined exactly how she would market our home in a buyers' market. I remember speaking with my wife after our meeting with Pamela, both of us saying "I'm so glad we called her."

Again, Pamela's efforts were phenomenal. She didn't just put a sign out front and list it on MLS. She placed advertisements for our house in virtually every medium that would reach potential buyers. Her dedication to our success was apparent at every turn. We felt like we were her only clients. Most importantly, within two weeks, we had
multiple competing offers for our home – in a neighborhood where houses had remained on the market for months.

We couldn't be happier with Pamela's services as a real estate agent(on either side of the market). Her professionalism, dedication, and encyclopedic knowledge of the DC area real estate market is unmatched
in our experience.

Jim and Delinda Mrowka VIENNA VA

  There are four things I tell friends and colleagues about Pam when I recommend her as a realtor.
1) Pam takes the time to really get to know you and understand both your priorities for buying a home, and your personality.  While my husband and I shared the same criteria for purchasing a home, we had different priorities and emotional attachments assigned to each criteria. Pam was able to address our individual concerns and make recommendations that accommodated both of us.
2) Pam was patient and never pressured us during our six-month process but when we decided on the house, she was firm in her recommendation to make an immediate offer.  And she was right. A couple months later, one of my new neighbors said he always loved our home and had told his wife he would buy it ever went on the market. By the time he saw it was listed, we had already bought it.
3) Pam has credibility within the real estate industry. She has built strong relationships and has a great reputation which was critical in our transaction. The seller’s broker trusted Pam and as a result, we were able to expedite the deal.
4) Pam was always proactive, continually working on our behalf. Like many people, my husband and I did research online and would collaborate with Pam. But in the end, Pam found the house and I am sure neither my husband nor I would have ever seen it in an online search.

And it is the perfect home for our family. When friends and relatives come over to visit, they comment on how well the home, the property and the neighborhood suit us.  We have been in the home for four months and every day I am still thrilled to be here and thankful to Pam for her excellent work in getting us here.

We loved working with Pamela. She walked us through the process of buying and selling homes with patience, professionalism, and knowledge. She is very experienced, talented and efficient.

Pam:
I just wanted to send you a letter of thanks for the tremendous job you did as my Realtor.  My thanks are not only for the well thought out sales plan you put together and for finding a buyer, but particularly for the blood, sweat and tears you put into bringing the sale through the closing process.  There is no doubt in my mind that your professionalism, understanding of the total process, and ability to recognize and solve problems quickly, led to the successful completion of this sale.  I know the sale of my condominium was one of your smaller sales from a commission pont of view, however, I never felt I was being given anything less than your 110% effort.  I also would be remiss if I didn't thank you for finding and correcting property deficiencies that I would have had great difficulty solving from 900 miles away.

Andrew Finn ALEXANDRIA, VA

"In the middle of a cross country move and frantically searching for a suitable housing arrangements in the areas completely unfamilar, I was thanksfully introduced to Pam Dargue.  An exceptional agent, Pam worked tirelessly for weeks to get me settled in.  With a flexible schedule she listened closely to my needs (as opposed to other agents who seemingly try to sell you what best suits their needs) and likely inconvenienced her schedule to suit mine.

Working through every minute detail of the purchase process from finding the home through closing, I am nothing short of indebted to her for her professionalism and kindness through this trying time.  I called upon her services for the purchase of additional properties and will continue to do so.  I'm  sure your experience(s) will be rewarding."

Jason Keith

As a first time buyer, I could not have asked for a better guide through the home buying process.  Pam’s knowledge of the local area was clear, but it was the personal attention she provided to my situation that separates her from other realtors with whom I have worked.  I relocated to this area, and during pre-move house hunting trips Pam arranged her schedule to maximize the short amount of time I was in town.  She was extremely patient, and despite the large number of homes we viewed she never once applied any pressure to buy.  When I ultimately did decide on a home, she sprung into action and within days all inspections were scheduled and underway.  She successfully helped navigate a worrisome appraisal and a difficult listing agent, and was always one step ahead of me – which is exactly what I needed as a first time buyer.  There is no question I will seek Pam’s assistance once again when it comes time for me to move on.

Her enthusiasm and energy as well as your professionalism really made us feel like we were in good hands.  She really looked out for our best interests."

As a first time buyer in a difficult personal situation with two children on a part-time basis, Pam knew what I needed in a home even before I did. Her caring, patience and follow-through during a difficult period in my life were second to none. She is not only the best real estate agent who truly gives her clients 110% of her time, commitment and energy, she is also a compassionate human being who takes the time to truly understand your situation and needs.

I will never buy another home from any other agent. She is that outstanding of a person and real estate agent. My evidence for her ability to know what her client needs is the wonderful feeling of home I get every time I walk through my front door...

She is clearly, outstanding at what she does. You will not find any agent as dedicated, caring and professional. Look no farther than Pam Dargue.

  Initially we began our search for a new home for by going to open houses where met several realtors who we intended to interview to be our realtor.  Then we were referred to Pam by our friends.  During our first meeting with Pam she explained the entire home buying process to us patiently and clearly.  Immediately following the meeting we called some of her references who all spoke glowingly of her.  Based on our meeting and her references, we didn't even interview the other realtors.
  Pam really began to shine when we began our search in earnest.  She listened to our needs and wants to help us determine exactly what type of house was right for us and which neighborhoods we liked the best.  We easily saw more than 75 houses seeking the home that fit us and we wrote 3 contracts that we didn't win.  When we had a contract fall through at the last minute there was a crisis of faith.  Pam understood and helped us through it and shortly thereafter we found the place for us.
  Throughout the entire process Pam was always helpful and we actually looked forward to our trips with her.  To this day we count Pam not only as a great realtor but as our friend.
