Metro DC Houses Team

I worked closely with the Metro DC Houses team to sell our old house and buy a larger one in DC. We decided since the market was so strong for sellers that we would sell our old house and then look for a new one without a sale contingency to cloud any offers we made. As expected our old house sold and closed quickly but the hunt was on. Not accustomed to reviewing listings I quickly became discouraged at what seemed to be a list of undesirable and overpriced houses in the city. Chris sat down with me and walked through numerous listings, pointing out things that I overlooked. One house had been on the market for almost 90 days and appeared to be tiny and unattractive from the photos and description. Chris noticed the large square footage and suggested we look at it. The house was actually quite large, well maintained and turned out to be a gem with tons of storage and extras. His negotiation skills got us the house for 10% under list price. Had the sellers had a better Realtor like Metro DC Houses they might have sold their house at asking but fortunately for us they didn’t. In the end we upgraded houses for nearly the same price thanks to the Metro DC Houses Team.

I used Metro DC Houses on the recommendation of a friend after another realtor did not work out. Jim Downing was very responsive and great to work with. The team always responded to calls and emails quickly and makes you feel important even if you are not buying a million dollar home. Jim helped make the process easy for a first-​time home buyer, providing schedules, reminders, and recommendations for everything that needed to be done for closing. The process went so smoothly. Highly recommend!

I’ve worked with Tom Gordon, Jim Downing and Chris Suranna on many real estate transactions, including clients that I’ve sent their way. They do an extremely thorough job, from start to finish. They are aggressive in putting in offers and highly successful in getting clients into the homes they want.
I recently had the pleasure of letting a client of theirs know that he was under contract, before he found out the great news from anyone else. He was shocked at how fast the Metro DC Houses Team had gotten things done.
As a loan officer, I like working with agents who also make my life easier as well. This team provides me with everything we need to get the loan closed in a thorough, quick and secure fashion. On a personal level, I always enjoy conversing with them. It’s a pleasure working with real estate experts, who are also fun and down to earth.

We’ve just finishing buying our new home with Chris Suranna and the Metro DC Houses team, and we’ve been well pleased, and even surprised, by the quality of service and care that they have provided to us throughout this process. Our buying process spanned several months, and through it all, Chris was supportive, knowledgeable and helpful in pointing us in the right direction. If ever Chris was away, the rest of the team was there to help — all were consummate professionals dedicated to helping us make the right move for us. I would definitely work with them again!

Jim, Chris, and Tom make a great team. I have worked with a lot of Realtors in my business and personal life and I highly recommend them. They have a great mix of real estate experience, local market knowledge, and common sense. They take a great deal of pride in what they do and work very hard for their clients. I wish all the Realtors I deal with were as efficient and effective as these guys.
