114) We developed a close friendship with Kirill over the past several months in our long process to purchase a home. Kirill was patient with us with our numerous calls and emails at all times of the day and night, and he always made time to show us houses whenever we called. This is a rarity in today's real estate world. Kirill is an extremely professional person and handles others tactfully and gracefully. His knowledge of the real estate process and the Skyline area are commendable. His diligence to never give up are noteworthy; especially, during our long battle to close when he stayed on top of the process from beginning to end. He is honest, straight forward, and clearly explains the process so that anyone can understand.

113) Elena and Kirill,
Thank you both for your energy in support of our sale.  I'm confident that we got an offer so quickly largely due to your enthusiastic efforts with the buyer during the open house.
This has been the least stressful home selling/purchasing experience I've ever had - thank you both again for that!

I am now the proud owner of a beautiful, spacious condo in Skyline House.  Why proud? Because I know I’ve made the right decision. How do I know? Because Kirill took the time to understand my needs and educate me about the options available to best meet my decision criteria.

110) It was a pleasure doing business with you! Thank you for your professionalism, promptness and excellent communication. I will definitely refer your company to those who are looking to transfer to the Virginia Area. This was the smoothest Business Transaction I have ever had!
Blessings!!!

You are knowledgeable, but not too talkative. You informed me to the point & precisely. You are the best realtor and I will definitely recommend you to others!
Many thanks to you,

108) Elena Gorbounova is a consummate real estate professional and encompasses all the qualities a home-buyer is looking for in a Realtor: Integrity, credibility, candor, enthusiasm, and an intimate knowledge of the area, property, and law. This was our first real property purchase and without Elena’s advice, encouragement, and assistance, I am certain we’d still be renters instead of  homeowners. Elena is able to articulate the most complex intricacies of the real estate transaction into plain English (or Russian) that is readily understandable to a real estate layman and was crucial to our understanding of the various agreements and contracts necessary to complete the purchase. In addition to Elena’s personal involvement and assistance, she also works with top-quality finance professionals that gives you the impression of working with a team of specialists, all dedicated to helping you feel comfortable with the process by not only keeping you informed of the progress but ensuring you understand what is happening at any given moment. Elena Gorbounova has our highest recommendation and endorsement for anyone looking to buy or sell property in Falls Church or McLean.

107) "When I first met Elena, I was just trying to get some information about buying  a condo at Skyline Plaza. But, one meeting with Elena was more than enough to make me change my mind from just looking for info to complete commitment to buying my first home.
She is a great communicator and very knowledgeable; she is available at any time of the day, she follows with every step of the process really, really closely. Once you start working with her, you can rest assured that she will see it to its completion. I would not hesitate a bit to recommend Elena for any one who is planning to buy a house."
"It was really pleasure dealing with you! You always took the extra mile to help and complete the job."

104) Elena,
Being first time investors, we were so worried about not being able to rent out our newly purchased investment condo quickly. One of the best decisions that we’ve made was to work with Elena Gorbounova and her team at RE/MAX Allegiance. They know the area well, are quick to respond and are true experts. They handled everything for us in getting a qualified tenant VERY quickly and were real professional along the way. I highly recommend Elena and her team, 5 stars all the way!

103) "I had never sold a property before meeting Elena and was attempting to sell my unit in Skyline from New Jersey. In fact, I had a listing agent prior to Elena who decided not to renew their contract with me because we had only gotten two offers for the two summer months the unit was listed and both fell through. So as a sign of good faith my previous agent looked up the realtors in the area with the best track record and came across Elena's name. I was skeptical, because I had cold called the first agent and although they weren't bad, we didn't get the results we were looking for, so I delayed a week or so in calling Elena. But when I finally got around to calling her she put me at ease immediately. I mentioned I was a little apprehensive based on my prior experience and that it had been stressful trying to sell the unit from 250 miles away but she had a very calming effect. She exudes confidence, is extremely diligent and a great communicator. I never had to follow up on anything as she was always two steps ahead and made the process so EASY. I couldn't have asked for anything more."
Robert Haddad     5505 Seminary Rd #918N Falls Church VA 22041 Skyline Square

102) "I commend Elena and Kirill for the excellent work they did in the selling of my condominium at Skyline House. The recommendations they made to prepare the property for the marketplace were very helpful, the pricing of the property was perfect for the market conditions and they were very aggressive in the Open House activities and other marketing efforts. I was so pleased to sell the condo in less than 60 days! I would highly recommend them to anyone thinking of selling in the Skyline area."

101) "As I was relocating to Alabama and had my primary home in Maryland to worry about, I thought I would leave my Northampton Place condo unoccupied until I had the time to devote to renting it out.  However, I was curious about Elena as I had saved a flyer about your services as a listing agent for rentals in Northampton Place.  I figured there was nothing to lose in contacting Elena and so I did.  Boy am I glad, as we were able to rent the condo in very short order.  Elena was honest about market conditions and was very prompt in coordinating getting the condo pictures (that Kirill took) loaded onto the MLS, but most of all, I was very impressed with her professionalism and integrity.  As I am 700 miles away, the distance did not deter her from communicating regularly and ensuring I was kept informed.  She delivered exactly what she said she would and in record time!  I am extremely pleased with her services and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking to rent out their condo."
"Elena, thank you for your professionalism and quick action to get the unit rented out. You delivered!"

99) My recent purchase of a condominium in Shirlington couldn't have gone more smoothly. You understood my needs completely and didn't try to steer me to a unit I wouldn't be happy in or to another property. I was again impressed with your professionalism, honesty and integrity. I trusted your judgment when it came to recommending a lender and closing agent. Both recommendations were excellent and both individuals showed the same professionalism as you do. Even though the process has changed and it has become much more challenging to purchase a home, you were always available to answer questions and guided me throughout the process. I would not hesitate to recommend you to a friend or colleague.

98) If you want a job to be done well, then it's smart to hire professionals who know what they're doing. That's what we got when we chose "YOUR SKYLINE CONNECTION" to handle the sale of our property. From the very beginning we could tell that Elena and Kirill were well informed about the local real estate market, had superior negotiating skills, had an intelligent marketing strategy, and were principled people who would definitely look out for our best interests. You kept us well informed throughout the process and paid attention to our individual concerns. You always returned phone calls in a timely manner which helped reduce the stress that comes with selling your home. You never lost sight of the big picture while paying attention to details.
Our friends and relatives were amazed at how quickly you were able to sell our condo -- 3 weeks to contract and then a month to settlement. An amazing feat indeed! Now, on a personal note, we would like to thank you both for all your help, which often went "above and beyond the call of duty." It was a pleasure interacting with you and we wish you the very best in the years ahead. Keep in touch.

97) The first time that we used the services of Elena & Kirill was to offer our condo for rent in 2010. They found us an excellent tenant. A year later, the tenant left us to purchase a new home, so we immediately thought of Elena and Kirill. Again, it was an excellent decision. Their aggressive style and excellent knowledge of the market and marketing created a sale that met all of our requirements. We recommend them to anyone who wants a clean sale. This is especially important when you are an owner who is living 2,000 miles away from the property that you are selling. We commend Elena and Kirill for a job-well-done!

Kirill went out of his way to help me find what exactly I wanted. He spent almost 2months with me looking and never ever complained for a second. I have never seen anyone so cooperative and honest. If you are looking to sell or buy your house, my honest suggestion is to go with him because only after taking that good decision, you shall realize that you are definitely in good hands. I was just lucky enough that I came across Kirill and he has been extremely helpful all the way. Thank you Kirill. You are the best!!!"

"We used Kirill/ReMAX to find tenants for our townhouse.  As we live overseas and had no way to physically evaluate the property, we enlisted Kirill and his team to walk through the property, assist with repairs, list the property on various information sites, show the property as regularly as needed, and finally identify/sign the perfect tenants.  Kirill is extremely knowledgeable about the current conditions in the market, is able to set a proper price limit, and negotiate on our best behalf to ensure we had the right quality of tenant for the right rent.  In the future, I will definitely look to Kirill and the team to assist us in either leasing our property again or even in buying/selling another property should we return to the Washington DC area."

Not only were they patient and understanding along the way, they went the extra mile to accommodate our requests and made appropriate recommendations. If it wasn't for Kirill, we would not have bothered to look at the place we eventually purchased, which turned out to be perfect for us. I cannot say enough about how responsive and reliable they are. Not one single phone call or email remained unanswered. Work with Elena and Kirill, and you know you will be in good hands!"

I knew from the moment that I met you both that I was working with intelligent and business minded professionals. You both were always on top every detail and diligently working to anticipate any problems that might arise.  I knew that with your confidence and market knowledge that you would help me navigate the tough decisions that go along with selling in this economy.

87) Elena, thank you and Kirill for the Professional Way in which you handled the sale of my unit.   With prices being what they are I knew it was impossible for me to get back what I have put into it but I think the plan we devised was about the best that we could do.  You will always have my friendship and, of course, my recommendations when people are looking for a Realtor.  You and Kirill make an Effective and Fun team--- YOU TWO Think and Act as a single unit which is what makes you so Effective. I really appreciate your constant communication and frank honesty when you have to pass information that I might not like to hear. Thank you for the easy settlement--the money was in the account the following day!  Fastest I have had funds disbursed out of all of the homes I have sold.
Big hugs and much thanks for all you have done for me. Kirill's formality and politeness still makes me smile, but he is a true professional, just like his mom.   You taught him well.
Best wishes to you in the future and please feel free to use me as a reference if you desire.

Thank you so much for your endless Support & Advice. I will gladly work with YOU in Future!!!

82) Elena Gorbounova was our Realtor for the sale of our condo in Skyline Square March through May 2011. She, with the assistance of her son, Kirill, achieved the sale of our property at a satisfactory price in spite of the depressed housing market.  Elena has numerous positive traits – Educated, Ambitious, Market-savvy, Energetic, Thorough, Honest and VERY Reliable. During all our dealings with Elena, she always kept us informed of the status of negotiations , and our interests were always Paramount. It's a genuine pleasure to have the sale completed and the concern put to rest. Thank you - and Kirill - for all your work and the results of that work.
I recommend Elena as real estate agent without reservation.

80) "We highly recommend Elena and Kirill for your real estate needs.  We primarily worked with Elena as our buyer agent on our recent condo purchase.  As first time buyers, there was so much to learn, and Elena, with the assistance of Kirill, took the time to really explain the process, trends in the area, and to take us around to look at many different buildings and units. Elena was extremely flexible and would make the time to take us to see places or to discuss our thoughts and concerns.  She worked around our schedules, and she really went beyond what we would expect by searching for places with us at all hours and days of the week.  We felt we could really trust Elena and the advice that she gave us.  Elena is very organized and persistent, and she ensured that we kept on track with the search and found something rather quickly.  She continually searched for new postings, and would contact us as soon as she found something so we could go and see it. Elena and Kirill are very knowledgeable in the market in general and in this area.  They are dedicated to what they do, and they are very professional, persistent and passionate.  We highly recommend them."

79) WOW,WOW,WOW! This is what we have to say about Elena and Kirill. Elena will not give up and will pursue any means to make a sale for you. As a client we know this because it took a little time for our unit to sell (but not because of her) It was her very demanding clients (the Wests). There were some things Karen and I were not going to move on even though Elena and Kirill had asked us to. Kirill is a highly knowledgeable straightforward person who knows the market. He is also very polite and courteous and matches Elena’s intensity to sell.
For what Karen and I were asking them to do, they did with flying colors. We know that Elena and Kirill are the hardest working agents we have ever met. From 8:30 Am to 11:30Pm calls or emails and countless hours talking to perspective buyers and agents to get our unit sold. They also aggressively marketed our unit to put it beyond the other units in the building because our unit it had been so extensively renovated. We were looking for a specific type of buyer and not just anyone which they understood and dealt with very professionally, even though the market has been down lately for our type of unit. We know that we are very demanding clients and never had a problem with this amazing team. They were always there to answer questions or just listen to any problems we were having.
They were also very helpful in finding us an agent to work with in the area that we wanted to move. They made it very easy to settle and made the transaction of closing on both properties convenient.
They make you feel like they care about what they are doing because they do, which in this day is hard to find. We feel like we have made a friend in the both of them and that we were not just another sell. We hope to continue to hear from them and watch their success because it is inevitable that they will make their mark here at Skyline as the top agents for this area.
Karen and I would like to thank the both of you for such a great job and wish you only more success.

During our first meeting I conveyed my wishes as to what I would like; you explained to me what you hoped to do. Your explanation instilled such confidence in me that I decided to follow any advice from you. That was the wisest decision that I made during the whole process of selling my condo. My relationship with you has been a totally pleasurable experience and I would recommend you over and above any other realtors.
On a scale of 1 to 10, you are a 25!!!”

anyone and have been very aggressively working this area. Their results speak for themselves. If you listen to their professional advice and follow it (and do your part, of course), they will sell your property. We could not be happier with their service. They went the extra mile and had to help us with a few unanticipated challenges near the closing. If you want or need to sell your property and want highly qualified professionals managing the process, I strongly recommend Elena Gorbounova and her partner Kirill Gorbounov.

The thing that impressed me about you both is your intelligence and ability to negotiate. You knew every step of the way what was to be done on my behalf and I followed your advice and it worked out to "my" benefit. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone. Your team is the greatest!
I especially admire Kirill and his professionalism and kindness. He is a real gentleman and a great human being. He shows a genuine care for his clients.

They took the time to educate us throughout the entire process including providing power point presentations with current statistics on market trends! Their guidance and expertise were only exceeded by their warm and amazing personalities. Throughout the entire process it felt as though we were the only clients, even though we know they had plenty of others at the same time. Every e-mail and voice message was answered promptly and thoroughly. My husband and I   often laughed, that they would send us answers before we even thought of the questions!  Elena’s knowledge and experience combined with Krill’s passion and attention to every detail are the recipe for their amazing success.
In summary we could not have asked for better realtors, they made this otherwise stressful process seem easy and fun! We are forever grateful for all their hard work and dedication and wholeheartedly are recommending their services.”

The most beneficial aspect of working w/ her is that fact that she truly knows her market. So, once she knew what I was looking for, it took her no time at all to find several great options- from which I chose my current residence. Thanks, Elena!

65) "Our experience in purchasing a townhouse in Arlington has been truly rewarding, easy and smooth thanks to Elena's top professionalism, profound knowledge of the real estate market, and her personal full involvement in the process. Elena left no stone unturned in the search for our dream house and visited herself most of the houses before showing them to us. Once the house was identified and an offer was made, she used her brilliant negotiation skills and her knowledge of the legal aspects to get what we wanted.
Moreover, she was always right there assisting and guiding us all steps of the way to a smooth settlement/ closing. Her dedication and professionalism is truly commendable and we look forward to recommend her to everyone we know who is in the market of selling or buying their properties, so that they also have a memorable and enjoyable experience working w/ Elena.
There is no doubt that I will use Elena's service again when I decide to move. Thanks a million, Elena!

You must be very proud of your son!”

We thank you for efficiently executing all aspects of our Skyline Square Condominium sale this month, despite the buyer’s urgent pressure to shorten the process. You made our share of the transaction a pleasure.
The confidence in you both that we developed while engaged in this real estate transfer will be passed on to our acquaintances at every opportunity.
You have set a high mark with your energy and your comprehensive understanding of the overall business.
Thank you for everything.

Elena and Kiril are 100 percent trustworthy, always supporting their client and on top of every detail to make sure that the transaction proceeds and in the best way possible.
Their commitment of time and energy was enormous and Elena's negotiation skills are formidable. I say this as the former General Counsel of a large institution."

52) Twice I used the real estate services of Elena & Kirill: during Purchase and Sale. Elena, as a Selling Agent did a wonderful job for my family helping find the right property. Elena is very knowledgeable when it comes to real estate business: communicates/negotiates very well & very responsive. She worked with me very closely to clear out any confusion I had and on many occasions and went above & beyond. I was very pleased with her service.
During this economic crisis, it was hard for me to keep my home and unfortunately, I had to short sale my home. This time Elena represented me as a Listing Agent & I got to know another wonderful person through this transaction - Kirill, Elena's business partner. Both of them took care of my short sale. As you might already know… selling a home through a short sale is not an easy task. Both: Elena & Kirill, put so much effort in collecting correct documents, working with the lender, and the other agents. The result was Fabulous: the whole procedure from start to end took less than 2 months! They handled my case very well and always communicated w/ me. Elena & Kirill are very well known in Skyline. I will definitely use their services again and I highly recommend them.
I will be happy to tell you more about this team - call me at my cell phone: 703-399-5055

50) I was most impressed with Elena and Kirill's expertise and consideration in handling the sale of my condo at Skyline Square. They were very understanding regarding my position, since I have lived here for 26 years and was moving to a foreign territory, Florida. Can you imagine! Their guidance towards me (the seller) and the buyer, was comforting and the move was so much easier due to their knowledge regarding the area. I highly recommend Elena and Kirill for selling your condo and moving because they were a tremendous help to me.

49) "Elena, a RE/MAX Allegiance Agent, is very popular around Skyline Square Condominium. Her name appears on many units listed for sale in Skyline Square and I have followed her selling trends for many months, which seem to have a speedy turnover rate despite the market conditions. Finally, I decided to contact Elena to list my unit for sale.
Well, Elena dear, you did not disappoint me one bit! Elena & Kirill, “Mother and Son” team, they really complement each other and you are a strong team. Elena is smart, witty, hard working, knowledgeable about the market and Kirill is a young man who has so much potential!
I have complete confidence and trust in Elena from the day we signed the contract until the closing which was less than two months for the whole process. Elena explained to me every step of the way, and through her experience and professionalism, she kept on top of things and made other sides working for her in order to keep us within the schedule. Elena, many thanks for advices you gave me during the course of the sale and most of all, thanks for your quick actions which enabled us to sell at a higher price than listed price. Elena, I will certainly recommend you to all my friends if they need a charming REALTOR who they can trust."
"I'm very happy and content with our sale and I thank you so much for your dedication throughout the entire transaction. I will keep you in mind for future references and referrals to my friends. I made a right decision."

48) Dear Elena and Kirill
I want to thank you one more time for the wonderful job that you did for me!
You sold my place in 10 days during the Snow Storm despite the housing market conditions. Thanks to you I could sell and buy my dream home the same day (nobody believed that it was possible).
It was a lot of pressure to have all 3 settlements in one day - all of them related to each other. At the Settlement both the seller and the buyer were so happy and were all proud of you making that happen. I will never forget that day!
You are professional, committed, responsive and fast and everything was made to look delightfully simple. You made me very happy and proud!
RE/MAX must be proud of your great team!!!

45) What, down market? I listed my 1 bedroom condo with Elena at the end of November and had a contract on the unit in early January. Elena also found a new condo for me that had everything that I wanted (nice view on a higher floor). The kitchen appliances were all new but the countertops and the cabinets were old.) Elena negotiated new cabinets
and granite countertops for me, new vanity and light fixtures. She promptly returned all of my phone calls and addressed all of my concerns. Her persistence in getting results is amazing. It took more than two weeks to close the deal with the lender due to a backlog of paperwork because of the snow, but Elena pushed the right buttons and made the manager of the lender get the paperwork done.Elena and Kirill are hard working professionals who get the job done.

44) Elena, Elena, Elena!!! What can I say about this dedicated woman! She truly goes out of her way to get the job done. What I admire and respect the most in Elena is her disregard to the compensation amount. That is professionalism at its best!
She does not rest till the deal is done and it does not matter how many times she has to be contacted by phone, email, or asked to be present on your behalf.
You are a gem and we love your work and hope to have you on our side always!

Your caring and concern has been very much appreciated."

42) "In March 2009, I asked Kirill and Elena to try to sell my Skyline Square condo. Since the sales market was pretty bad, we had a backup plan to try a rental. It became clear within a couple weeks that we couldn't get the sale price we wanted, so we went for the rental. In less than a week, Kirill and Elena had found a renter -- and we had a signed lease within days. Great work Kirill and Elena. Thanks!"
Keith O Falls Church, 22041 VA Skyline Square
----------------
41) Both Elena and Kirill were extremely confident and helpful in placing our condo on a rental listing. Their knowledge of the market and renting strategies were evident throughout our relationship. The stamina in finding a tenant exhibited by Elena was a tribute to her dedication to serve the customer. Her friendly demeanor and positive optimism clearly accounted for identifying and securing a tenant within two weeks of signing an agreement with RE/MAX. Simply outstanding! The entire process was in complete control by Elena and she ensured both parties were totally satisfied before our commitment to engage a lease contract. I am confident that Elena will continue communications with us (as we are out of state now) regarding the continuing satisfaction with our decision to lease. Undoubtedly, Elena will be given our trust to sell our property when the market supports such action. I can highly recommend Elena and Kirill to others who are considering similar actions with their most valuable assets.

"My husband and I had a great pleasure of having Elena and Kirill as our Realtors.  They are the most honest, ethical, reliable and hard-working people we have ever met.  As first time home buyers, we were concerned  about the whole process of getting our first home, but Elena and Kirill made the process enjoyable and stress free.  By working with that great team, we had an opportunity to preview every Active property through ListingBook which is a Great Tool for buyers and we also learned a lot about the regional sales contract & all possible contingencies. Thank you so much for setting up an account for us through ListingBook. Furthermore, thank you so much for being patient, considerate and understandable of our desires and needs from the beginning.  Thank you for responding to our e-mails and phone calls within minutes, for working hard and for being able to do whatever it takes to make us happy and pleased with your work. It happened so, that our 1st contract fell apart due to the Default of the Seller d Elena & Kirill found another property w/in 24 h. although the inventory was really down. That property turned out to be even a better deal than the 1st!!! We ratified out contract w/in 48 h. and close our deal w/in 2 weeks. That's what you can achieve, when you work w/ a good team!" 
"We will stay in touch w/ you guys, because we feel like we didn’t just find great realtors but great friends as well. Thank you so much for all your help.  When it comes to selling or buying Real Estate in the future, you are the only realtors we want to work with.

She not only is a professional, intelligent, punctual and caring agent, she is a great friend who makes the most stressful situations seem enjoyable. Thank you Elena, I wouldn’t have been able to do this without you. You set my standards so high that I don't think I could ever work with any other real estate agent.  So I will be knocking on your door if I ever need help from a real estate broker. Also Kirill as a young and energetic partner covering the economical and statistics side of the process is a valuable addition to your capabilities. You are a great team.

She authored and prepared pictures depicting the salient features of my condo such that an offer was made within the initial two weeks, and, through her excellent negotiation skills, the final offer was completed and totally acceptable within a month thereof. Given the current downturn in the real estate market, I felt that was an outstanding feat, and amply demonstrated her capabilities. I highly recommend her based on achievements performed in a very short period of time.”

34) "On December 22 '08, I signed a contract, entrusting Elena and her son Kirill the sale of my Skyline Square apartment. I chose them because I was impressed by their professionalism and knowledge of the real estate field. They took their time to explain to me in detail everything concerning this commitment and kept me informed of any developments.
To my great and pleasant surprise, they presented me with a great contract on December 27/08 and on January 21/09 I became a happy seller to the great couple who took possession of my apartment. The whole deal took less than a month!
Elena and Kirill did a wonderful job; I cannot thank them enough for their display of efficiency and the personal touch that was present at all times in our short-lived business relationship.

31) "I want to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks for the help that Elena gave me in selling my condo. What impressed immediately during our first meeting were Elena's enthusiasm, professionalism, and knowledge of real estate business and also the current market. She surprised me when she told me that my asking price as too low and that I should set it higher, even though I had a unit that was very small and with a very limited number of prospective buyers. When we got our contract ratified, I understood that she had been right!
I was amazed that during short period of time we had 5 interested parties without even having an open house and had a contract within thirty days at the given market, the time of year!
Elena was right there for me each step of the way, she supported me above and beyond! During the whole process, I was impressed by Elena's honesty and integrity. She is a GEM, and I would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone."

30) "Working with Elena and Kirill was very pleasant, informative, fast, and easy. I was extremely impressed with their overall knowledge of the local real estate market and their commitment to their clients. They were very thorough and paid great attention to the details of both of my real estate transactions. They always place their clients in the best possible position for a real estate deal. Within 2 weeks of my calling them, they managed to locate 2 tenants for my vacant condominiums and had the leases ready. Overall, they left a very favorable impression upon me."
Carl Layno Arlington, VA   EOS 21

29) "Elena & Kirill managed to rent my condominium in just 2 weeks, a feat even more impressive when one considers that this coincided with what was being called the country's greatest financial crisis since the Great Depression. The knowledge, determination and swift resolution of all issues regarding the deal were all greatly appreciated, as were the constant updates I received informing me of their progress.
Elena also went more than a few "extra miles" as my renter was relatively unfamiliar with English, & Elena was compelled to serve as translator for more than a few VERY Lengthy phone exchanges. I had a Realtor years ago for another property who was not motivated & steered me into a bad deal that ended w/ me unknowingly paying far too much, so I know the difference the good ones and the bad ones - and Elena & Kirill are as GOOD as you'll get anywhere! Highly RECOMMENDED!"

28) "Elena is a wonderful real estate agent. She is very professional and committed to getting the job on hand done. She made me feel important as a client and made sure that she was always there to serve in my best interests. Since I have had the experience of working with her twice (she helped me to buy my place as well as to rent it out eventually), I can vouch for the trouble and great lengths that she has gone to in order to satisfy any of my requirements, especially in the face of the challenges that the housing market faces presently. Everything was made to look delightfully simple and I could rest assured that there was somebody out there working for me more diligently than I probably would have done myself. And if she was not all that one could ask for in an agent, now she has a very able partner in Kirill. That's even better and they make a great team!! Keep up the great work.

She is compassionate, diligent, conscientious and delightful. She made me feel as though I was her only client.
Thank you, Elena, a million! You are the BEST!
If you need a REALTOR, go directly to Elena".
"How satisfying for you that Kirill is following in your successful footsteps and how lucky for him that he has you as his role model. You do indeed love your work. It was so evident when I worked with you to sell Dad's condo. I never doubted for a moment that it would not sell fast. To start the New Year with three contracts is a credit to you and to Kirill who has adoted your love for this profession. YOU TWO ARE THE BEST!"

Kirill was an excellent Realtor - he is very knowledgeable and went above and beyond “Realtors” responsibility. He helped us get the names of  mortgage companies, home inspectors. He made himself available anytime before and after closing which put us at ease. Kirill checked up and made sure everything was in line and in order through the process. He made our 1st time home buying as easy as it could possibly be for a 1st time home buyer. We would definitely use Kirill again if we are either in the market for buying or selling our home."

Elena’s work was timely, accurate, detailed, and she spared no effort in making sure that the task at hand is accomplished in a timely and acceptable manner to both the parties involved.

17) As a first time homebuyer, I was nervous and hesitant about purchasing because I knew little about the process and intricacies of buying a home.  However, after just my first meeting with Kirill I felt very relieved and fortunate to have Kirill in my corner during this process.
From the start, Kirill spent a lot of time educating, informing, and walking me through the purchasing process, step-by-step.  When searching for properties that suited my specific preferences, Kirill was extremely knowledgeable in all Northern Virginia area and made invaluable recommendations and insights.
Best of all, Kirill was constantly in contact with me and easy to reach.  He updated me promptly on new properties and details, and he really helped to ease my worries surrounding my home buying experience.
I won’t say that purchasing a new home isn’t stressful, because it is; however, Kirill definitely was there for me through the entire process, and I know I wouldn’t have been able to find and purchase the place I got without him.
"Thanks a ton for everything Kirill!"

15) My husband and I were looking to purchase our first home.  We were nervous about undertaking such a daunting and intimidating step.  We had first worked with Elena two years ago, when she had helped us find an amazing condo to rent.  After working with Elena, we had no doubt as to which realtor we would use when it became time to purchase our own home.
Working with both Elena and Kirill was such a pleasant experience because they were so patient and understanding. They began by explaining all the steps involved in buying a home, and answered all our questions.   More importantly, they never made us feel like our concerns were unimportant or unfounded.
Instead, Elena listened to all our requests and respected our price range.  She eased us into the home buying process by showing us a few homes that met our criteria, but never pressured us to put in an offer until we felt ready. She really understood our taste level and what we were looking for!
Ultimately, Elena and Kirill didn’t just find us our first home, but found us our ideal first home.  We feel like we truly worked with the best in the business, and we feel even luckier to call Elena and Kirill our friends.

11) "Thank you for giving us your time and knowledge that we utilize to a better way of life.  When I am ready to purchase, I will surly call upon you and your son because I feel that you two are very honest and in the business for helping people the right way, the first time around.  Because I do not know a lot (very little) about purchasing my first home, I need someone like you to guide me all the way."
