Barbara Simon & Robin Cale Reviews

Barbara and Robin are an outstanding and exceptional team. My family needed to sell our deceased mother’s house as quickly and easily as possible. Their excellent communication, their incredible expertise not to mention their respect of and kindness during a very difficult time went well beyond our expectations. What we greatly appreciated was their keen sense of what would work in the current market- their guidance was invaluable and their commitment to a positive outcome went above and beyond. We felt like we had caring friends who understood our challenges and kindly yet with keen knowledge and real estate acumen helped us sell the family home at a price with which we were very pleased. We could not have had a better experience—Barbara and Robin are the best!

We had the pleasure of working with Robin as our real estate agent, and we couldn't be more grateful for her support throughout our home-buying journey. Given the market conditions this spring, we were understandably anxious about finding the right place, but Robin truly made the experience not only manageable but enjoyable. From the very beginning, Robin took the time to help us prepare for our search, providing valuable insights and guidance a few months ahead of when we planned to start looking. Throughout the process, she spent many weekends accompanying us as we explored various neighborhoods and homes. She was committed to understanding our preferences, she was always receptive to our feedback and tailored her search accordingly, showing us properties that aligned with our many wants. Robin helped us secure an accepted offer on a beautiful single-family home in a wonderful neighborhood—something we initially thought was out of reach for us. Robin was not only incredibly responsive and available to answer our questions during the buying process, but she also continued to provide support even after we closed on our new home. She quickly offered us recommendations for services we needed to get our house ready, which was immensely helpful. We are so grateful to Robin for her patience and dedication as we navigated our unique housing search. If you're looking for a real estate agent who truly cares and goes the extra mile, we highly recommend Robin!

Very good service. I appreciated everything Robin has done for us. She was prompt and efficient and pleasant as well.

We had a fantastic buying experience with Robin. We are currently living overseas and this process could not have gone easier. Robin's thorough initial interview helped setup the automatic listings and she coordinate with our local representatives to do showings which we participated in via FaceTime. She worked through all issues effectively with the seller's agent to ensure an on time closing. It's been a pleasure working with her and we highly recommend!

Robin was wonderful. She guided me all the way through the process of selling my condo and knew services that were able to help along the way such as cleaning, hauling, handymen, title company, and movers. It made everything work smoothly.

Whether you're looking to buy or sell a home, Robin is undoubtedly the Realtor you want to have advocating for you. She embodies a rare combination of consummate professionalism, market knowledge, attention to detail and incomparable work ethic, paired with a positive demeanor, great sense of humor and invaluable anecdotal insights on everything from neighborhood trends to staging advice. Having worked with Robin multiple times now, as both buyers and sellers, we count on her to provide realistic, well-informed guidance on pricing. She then takes the time to ensure that your home is in the best possible condition to get top dollar. Once an offer is made/received, Robin makes the process as easy as possible for her clients, handling all of the "behind-the-scenes" work in terms of contracts, etc. Should a question arise, Robin responds quickly and takes the time to walk through things, putting her clients' minds at ease. When it comes to getting (the inevitable!) repair jobs needed on a home, Robin is a walking Rolodex of contacts -- and whether for a carpenter, handyman or lawn person, Robin's recommendations have always been stellar. More than anything, it's clear that this isn't "just a job" for Robin. Her tireless commitment to staying on top of market trends and working to get the very best outcome for her clients indicates just how much she cares. Having recently sold a home with Robin, as I think about the things I'll miss most about moving out of Northern Virginia, right alongside my neighborhood Trader Joe's, Kao Sarn Thai and the Falls Church Farmers Market is Robin Cale. She's a gem!
