"Good things come to those who work hard!

In my 40 years of buying and selling real estate I have never had a realtor that worked so hard for her clients’ interests. Elena is honest, extremely knowledgeable, knows when to pivot with the market conditions, meticulous communicator, and was relentless in exceeding my expectations. I can honestly say that Elena is a realtor that a client can truly trust to get the best results for her client, whether buying or selling. One thing I really admired about Elena is that she personally attends her own open houses. Elena is fully engaged with her clients….a quality that is priceless!

Elena Gorbounova is the realtor that you want on your side when doing a real estate transaction! FLAWLESS!! Thank you Elena for your hard work!!"

"We knew our situation had some unique challenges, but Elena Gorbounova handled every hurdle with professionalism and grace. From connecting us with her great company to navigating last-minute issues with title and inspection, she truly went above and beyond. Her marketing strategy and understanding of the Skyline community were truly impressive, and it resulted in an excellent outcome for our family. Elena worked hard in this challenging market and guided us through the whole ordeal. Her expertise and patience, especially during the stage of finding a buyer, made all the difference."

"I took my time writing this review because I wanted it to truly reflect the outstanding quality of Elena's service.Working with Elena Gorbounova at YourSkylineConnection with RE/MAX Allegiance was more than just a good experience, it was exceptional. She is genuinely one of the most efficient and professional people I have ever worked with.From day one, Elena was incredibly patient and took the time to explain every step of the rental process for my apartment, making sure I understood everything. The very next day after we signed our agreement, she had already arranged for a professional photographer to capture the apartment at its best. She also wrote a fantastic listing that highlighted the property's strengths and attracted strong interest.Throughout the entire process, Elena was extremely thorough in screening applicants and verifying all the necessary requirements. But what impressed me the most was her communication. She kept me informed about absolutely everything as it happened, so I always knew exactly where we were in the process. Whenever I had a question, she responded almost immediately, and that level of responsiveness made planning so much easier and gave me complete peace of mind.Elena's professionalism is truly exceptional, and I say that with complete honesty and objectivity. I recommend her without any hesitation and am confident that she will exceed your expectations just as she exceeded mine."

"Sold an ‘as is’ condo in Skyline Square in record time My brother owned a two bedroom condo in Skyline Square. When he unexpectedly passed away last year, we needed to find a local agent to work with us to sell his condo. It was on a high floor in Skyline Square with a spacious floor plan, but not in the best condition. We were referred by a friend of my brother to Elena Gorbounova, who was well known in his building as the “Queen of Skyline Square”. We needed a local expert, as we live in another state seven hours away from Northern Virginia. We had experience in selling real estate in NY and CT and did our research online regarding the Falls Church market. Elena is very experienced, focused, determined, and was able to help steer our decisions regarding listing strategy and pricing. We were cautiously optimistic given her guidance. The condo listed on a Thursday night and by Monday COB we had nine offers. We went to contract that evening and closed an all cash deal above the asking price in short order. Elena blew away any concerns we had about selling the condo at a great price and getting the deal done quickly. Anyone looking to sell a property (or buy one) in the Northern Virginia area would be well served to hire her."

"We recently sold our condo at Skyline House, and working with Elena Gorbounova was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Her professional expertise, meticulous attention to detail, and thorough management of every aspect of the selling process made what could have been a stressful experience feel easy and seamless. Before listing the condo, Elena provided excellent guidance on where to invest in updates and improvements, and her recommendations made a tremendous difference in both the presentation and value of the property. Thanks to her strategic advice and market knowledge, we received an above-asking-price offer after the very first weekend on the market. Throughout the entire process, Elena provided exceptional care, responsiveness, and support. We truly appreciated her dedication, professionalism, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a condo in the well-known "Skyline" condominium community in Falls Church, VA."

"As a first-time homebuyer, I had a great experience working with Elena. She was energetic, professional, and always quick to answer questions throughout the process. She made everything feel smooth and manageable, and I’d definitely recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home!"

"Selling a condo in a difficult market is no small feat, and Elena made it happen. From the moment we started working with her, the level of professionalism was immediately clear, and it never wavered throughout the entire process. Elena brings together an exceptional team of experts, and the quality of every touchpoint reflects that. The professional photography and videography were stunning — exactly the kind of presentation that makes a listing stand out. And that same attention to detail carried all the way through to closing, including a seamless, stress-free experience with the title company.
What impressed us most was the consistency. There was no moment where things felt disorganized or uncertain. Every step was handled with care, expertise, and clear communication. In a challenging market, that kind of steady, high-caliber execution makes all the difference. If you're looking for an agent who delivers premium results Elena Gorbounova is the one. We couldn't recommend her more highly."

"I just closed on an amazing home and it is all thanks to Elena. Elena did so much for me during the home buying process. She advised me which homes were the best for resale and pointed out problems in homes that I missed while viewing them. She is always available to talk and answer any questions. She has a go-getter attitude and she will fight to get you the home that you deserve. I highly recommend her services to anyone buying property in the NOVA area."

"Elena is the best real estate agent one could ask for. She handled the listing and sale of my condo expertly and got an offer within ten days of listing. I was stuck abroad due to a physical injury, but I never had to worry about anything with Elena's care and help. She not only handled the inspection, overseeing renovations, open house, and closing, she even helped me check my mailbox. She even went to a store to get a replacement curtain rod that my previous tenant took by mistake. Elena is an agent who goes above and beyond the contract terms, and shows real care and heart for her clients. Not only is she a magician real estate agent, she is a wonderful human being. You will get the best service, fast closing, and deep care if you hire Elena as your agent. Thanks Elena, I remain your fan forever."

"Outstanding agent. Elena was able to sell my condo in just 4 days! It was a very smooth transition between the current tenant and the new buyer. I was out of town in another state, but she made it so easy to communicate and always followed up on time. She is amazing and very professional. Thanks!"
