"I bought my house a little over a year ago and Yony made it all possible. After meeting with Yony, I quickly realized how passionate he was about his job. He was honest with me and worked around my schedule. He is very knowledgeable and very nice. He used to pick me up from my job so we can look at houses during my lunch break and willing to go the extra mile to make things right. During closing process, I had to leave the country and Yony knew exactly what I needed to do. Yony helped me get a power attorney to sign the closing documents in my place while I was on a personal vacation with my father" -kaleab
"Yony and the DMV team helped me recently sell a home. Within 12 days of putting it on the market the home was under contract. The team came in with an aggressive and comprehensive strategy, and executed it efficiently and professionally. I highly recommend Yony."- Karim
"I purchased my first home with Yony late last year. Yony was willing to meet with me to discuss the homebuying process while I was finishing grad school, even before I knew exactly what I wanted or where I would find a job in the area. He invited me to his customer appreciation events, where I met other (happy, satisfied) clients, and others on his team. Once I was ready to buy, he really talked me through the process, considered my (ambitious) wish list and budget, and gave me great advice and suggestions for finding a great place.
There was one particular instance when I thought we found a home that was a fit for me, but was priced a bit high considering comps in the area. Yony really advocated on my behalf, and was professional but firm with the seller to ensure that the pricing was fair. I ultimately purchased a similar property at a lower price, with all of my closing costs covered. Yony was instrumental in negotiating that deal and helping to pull all the pieces together to keep the sale on schedule. I can honestly say, Yony never pressured me to buy, was patient with my questions and requests (he even showed properties to my family and me after work on his birthday!), and helped me negotiate a great deal in the end.
I love my home, and I am thankful that I have a great realtor for my next sale or purchase! I highly recommend Yony and Your DMV Team for anyone looking to buy or sell properties in the area" - Kim
"We were extremely lucky to find Yoni, who is truly a phenomenal real estate agent, to handle our purchase of a house in the Washington DC Metro Area. The whole process of buying a house is not only complicated and stressful but how good your agent is can make or break you, and in our case Yony not only made it so easy for us but was also a key reason we were able to score a major deal with our new home in Woodbridge, Virginia.
First of all Yony is extremely professional. He took the trouble to find out our exact needs and tastes and steered us selectively to properties that fit our requirements and was instrumental in getting our offer accepted by the seller. He went over every detail and called us every day to update us with the status of the process.
Yony is also very patient, a quality very crucial in a real estate agent, and never pushes his clients to make choices just to get a deal done. We never once felt pressured to speed things up but on the contrary he took all the time needed to explain the process and to answer all our questions however trivial.
Above all else Yony has a lot of integrity. His words and his actions prove without any doubt that he truly has your best interest in mind. He is always available, never wearies to shop with you around the area of your interest, tells you about all of the details of home buying and hidden laws of ownership, tirelessly helps you negotiate with the seller and do everything possible to make sure that the deal works out to your advantage.
Yony’s exceptional network and interpersonal skills proved a great asset throughout the intricate process and helped us to smoothly and painlessly achieve optimum results.
There is no doubt in my mind that Yony is the best agent in the Washington DC Metro area and I speak from my heart when I say any home buyer who happens to engage him can truly consider themselves lucky"- Missale
“My wife and I closed on our new home about 2 weeks ago. No better time to make huge life decisions than in the middle of a pandemic, right?Thank goodness we had Yony Kifle and his team (Your DMV Team) on our side throughout the entire process. They made everything so seamless for us. Yony is very professional, polite, and one of the best real estate professionals I've worked with. For the past 6 years, Yony has been one of my 'go-to' resources for real estate knowledge. He has helped me in numerous ways with real estate and I've never had a bad experience. He is a great communicator and can always be reached when you need him. He is extremely knowledgeable about the DMV area and has an excellent sense of current, real time DMV market conditions. I have counted on his expertise and that expertise has kept me from making some serious missteps. For any buyers or sellers in the DMV area - I highly recommend Yony and his team!” – Brian Kaitare via Google Reviews
“I've known Yony from the "Your DMV Team" for a long time. Since maybe teenagers. So when I made the decision to buy a house, I reached out to him first. Not only because I know him and trust him, but because I'm aware of his work ethic and his passion and knowledge with Real Estate. I have other very close friends in Real Estate, and I don't doubt others reading this will also. So why did I choose the Your DMV Team and why do I recommend them to others? Simply put, they get the job done and you will feel so comfortable with what I personally consider a very frustrating and cumbersome process of purchasing a home. I spent over 2 years looking for a 2 BR / 2 BA in a specific area, but most were just out of my price range, sold too fast, or people were putting in offers much higher than asking price. Yony and the team suggested some places that were less than 5 miles away from where I wanted to live and they NAILED IT!! They found EXACTLY what I wanted, and it was only 3 miles away from the area I wanted to live in. With that also came a considerable price difference, due to location, that was well within my price range and yet significantly less in comparison to where I was looking. They opened my eyes to the idea that making a small compromise (location in this case) was well worth it if all other boxes were checked. The same size and layout, where I was looking, was priced about $40 - $50K more than what I closed at. Read that again..... Their advice got me EXACTLY what I wanted, except 3 miles further South than I was looking, and that saved me $40 - $50K! The process and experience was a big deal. Leul helped me out there and gave me great advice on the offer to make, how to make a strong offer (without compromising myself and my wants/needs), and all staying within my means and our perceived value of the property. Obviously, I'm writing this review because the offer we put together was accepted. There is still a lot that needs to get done after your offer is accepted. I had lots of questions and I found myself extremely confused at times. All of my questions were answered and I felt very comfortable with the information I was receiving and the negotiations we were working through. Furthermore, the team that backed up Yony and Leul were AMAZING! I can't emphasize that enough. Lucy was great and probably responded to my email questions within 5 minutes of me sending them to her. This team is really there for you. I think anyone can show you a house and pass your offer to a seller, etc... I don't think anyone can provide the knowledge, experience, personal touch, and hands on care the way the Your DMV Team does and can. They care about you and your comfort in buying or selling a home through them. I promise you, it shows!” – Blene Ahmed via Google Reviews
“I worked with Yony and team to buy my first home. I couldn't have asked for a better confidant and friend to walk me thru this process. I have lived in an apartment my whole life and had 0 idea on what it means to buy a house. They answered all my questions/concerns and the best part, after I closed and completed my transaction with them Yony would get on the phone to answer all of my house related questions months after. He literally would spend an hour on the phone with me to make sure I knew which type of appliance and warranty to get for the house. 3 months later I thought I saw mold in the house, I called him and he explained to me that wasn't the case. Recommended a cleaning supply for the house and just mentally walked me thru the normal stress owning a home. ALL FOR FREE and without any expectation. Thanks for helping find my dream home guys!!” – Brook Tek via Google Reviews
“As a first time homeowner there is always some sense of worry. What don’t I know? How will the process turn out? After my first meeting with Yony I knew I was in good hands. He took the time to explain the process from beginning to end. What I could expect and what may come up along the way. Not only was I satisfied with my experience, I would highly recommend Yony and his team to others. Purchasing a home is a very serious transaction. For the majority of us this is a life long dream. I wouldn’t recommend someone unless I truly believe in their professionalism and knowledge base. Once I am ready to make another investment in a home I will return to Yony and his team to handle the deal.” – Joe Abney via Google Reviews
“My name is Netsy and I heard about Your DMV Team Realty through their Facebook page, but then I also learned that my cousin was working with them to purchase his home in DC. When I decided to start searching for a home in Virginia, my cousin referred me to Yony and his team and as soon as I contacted him for assistance, I heard back immediately. Yony gave me an excellent home buyer’s seminar, he was very responsive, he always answered my calls and texts on the spot, and he was always ready to get up and go meet me to show me numerous homes, no matter what day or time it was that I contacted him. My favorite part was definitely the quick viewing of homes; it was definitely a thrill for me as I’ve always been an impulsive consumer, and Yony assured me that my impulsive approach was reasonable during a high demand period. When I was ready to sign the contract, the Your DMV Team made the contract signing process very smooth and seamless. I’m so happy I worked with them to buy my cozy Burke home. I would definitely recommend Your DMV Team to my friends and family, as they would really appreciate how quick and efficient the whole team is!” – Anet Teferra via Google Reviews
“My wife and I already had a real estate agent prior to meeting with Yony. We didn’t have an official agreement with our original agent and I’m glad we didn’t. I was very disappointed with my original agent’s response time. My original agent boasted that he had over 20 years of experience as a real estate agent, but he wasn't very responsive to our needs. Because my original agent didn’t seem very interested in helping me find a home, I decided to venture out on my own and visit a few open houses. I first met Yony while visiting an open house that he was hosting. I had a very good experience with Yony right from the start. I had visited quite a few open houses before visiting Yony’s open house. In my experience a lot of the agents didn’t seem very friendly or helpful. Sometimes agents were a little pushy. Yony was very different. He seemed genuinely happy that I came to visit his open house. He welcomed me as I was an important guest. Although he did ask me if I was already working with a real estate agent, like other real estate agents I had met, he didn’t ignore me when I informed him of my status. In fact, he probably realized that we were more serious in buying from him because we were working with a real estate agent. After meeting with him, I set up a preliminary meeting for my wife and me to meet with him a week later. My wife had already been set on sticking with our previous agent. She didn't want to change, but she soon began to consider different options after meeting with Yony. She immediately was impressed with Yony’s personality as I had been. He explained the process to me and my wife and he also had a presentation folder already prepared for our meeting. His explanation of the entire process seemed easier to understand especially with the presentation folder which included important information like flow charts about the buying process. In addition, his office is in Fairfax, but he was willing to meet us closer to where we lived in Arlington.
I can tell you that Yony has been very helpful in showing us available homes. In fact, one day I had come upon an open house that I really liked. The only problem was that my wife couldn't see it with me during the open house times. I immediately contacted my wife to see if she could view it and I also had to contact Yony to see if he could show it that day. Although Yony was hosting another open house that day, he made arrangements to meet with us that evening. It’s this type of attention that really sets Yony apart. We didn't buy that home because someone else had put in a better offer. With that said, Yony has always been very respectful of our financial situation and desires. He hasn't been pushy just to try to get a sale. He has been very patient with our selectiveness. He has always been very responsive with our questions. He also calls us if he hasn't heard from us in a few days.
Yony also has connections with a few mortgage lenders that he seems to work very well with. We originally were going to use our own bank, but Yony tried to explain to us that our bank was very slow to close on home sales. He held steady with us because we didn’t want to use a different lender. However, we soon found out that what he tried to tell us about our bank was true. There were a few sellers that didn’t want to sell to us just because of our bank. My bank confirmed that it was taking on average about 90 days to go to closing which is a very long time. I also read this same information online on different sites. You really need a lender that is able to close within 30 to 45 days otherwise you may lose out on getting a home that you like. Yony recommended several lenders that could close within 45 days and their rates were very competitive. I would highly recommend Yony if you are looking for a good agent who is very professional but also very personable. He is very flexible in working with your needs.” – user0311574 via Zillow.com
"Yony is an exceptional individual. I came in contact with him when I did a Google search for homes in my area. I came across his website and signed up for alerts on homes that fit my criteria. He was very responsive and emailed me directly the next day. It was refreshing to have this sort of responsiveness from an agent because I had been looking for awhile and you would believe how hard it is to get someone to call you back. We began viewing properties within a few days and the process went very smoothly. In general, he was able to quickly set viewing appointments and arrived on time for the meetings. He was very flexible with his schedule and basically met me anytime I was available. Yony listened to what I wanted in a house and therefore we didn't waste any time looking at properties that didn't fit my criteria or were out of my price range. Yony offered good advice to me as a first time home buyer when I was hesitant about anything during the process. I never felt rushed while looking at properties or pressured to buy a home that I didn't like. After only a few weeks of looking, Yony helped me find the perfect home! Overall Yony is very professional, resourceful (has lots of connections to good mortgage lenders, etc.) honest and seeks to fulfill the clients needs. I'd highly recommend Yony to either a first time home buyer or a person who has experience buying a home. I would definitely use him again to buy my next home"- Hillary Marshall via Zillow.com
“Yony Kifle is hard working, professional, and incredibly responsive. He always replied to our calls/emails either immediately or within a few hours at most (our previous agent would take days to get back to us). He worked incredibly hard to get our home sold, worked with us to keep the process in our budget, and helped us to successfully and quickly get our home sold and into a new home. Definitely recommend!” – user5113020 via Zillow.com
“In this day and age, it’s difficult to find someone whose words you can trust. Good relationships have become scarce, and business deals are not encompassed with honesty, loyalty, and dedication. From the moment me and my wife met Yony, he has been nothing but helpful in helping us find a home. Moving from San Diego to Arlington, after serving in the Army overseas, we were not familiar with the area. Yony was there with us every step of the way from the moment we picked up our phone and asked him to help us find a home. He saved us a great deal of time dealing with the mortgage companies, home inspectors, and of course individuals who always try to take you for a long ride just so you can pay them more money. I can honestly say during, and after the entire process Yony has been more than just the "guy" who helped us find a beautiful 3 bedroom home, he is now a friend. I have the utmost respect for the way he deals with people, and his willingness to go the extra mile to find exactly what we needed. If you are buying and selling a home, and you are looking for a straight shooter whom you can trust and expect fast delivery, Yony is the guy to go to. I am a person who hates to jump through hoops to get what I want, and Yony was excellent in eliminating that process although they always strive to make it tough for you. I personally recommend him for anyone who likes good business.” - user259979 via Zillow.com
“Mr. Kifle has been the number one person I can call about different properties in the DMV. Although I'm not ready to buy at the moment, Yony is open to every question I have. His knowledge and the material of information he has that he shares with me gives me confidence. I've been talking to him for about 7 months now and the information he gives me I've been sharing with my friends. Now, my friend is considering to buy from Yony! I enjoy his passion the lights up our conversation.” – EyaLuta via Zillow.com
“I had the opportunity to work with Yony Kifle the owner of Your DMV Team to purchase a home in Springfield, VA. I originally hoped to live in the Arlington, however that was not realistic with a budget of $400K, however Yony was patient throughout the entire process and showed me numerous homes within my budget that were either move in ready or that could be purchased/renovated within my budget. He always seemed to have my best interest at heart and never tried to get me to increase my budget to find a home in the area I wanted to live in and end up being house poor. I eventually took his advice to expand the areas to buy a home in and put an offer on the 1st house he showed me outside of Arlington. He was to meet the majority of demands on my list and even managed to find me a property with a pool with my budget, which was a big plus that I never imagined owning. It was a pleasure working with Yony and Your DMV Team to purchase my home. Yony really values his clients and even though it has been over 3 years since I purchased my home, he still stays in contact through his newsletters and client appreciation parties he has every few months. As a first time homebuyer, he made my experience as great as possible by being flexible and listening to my needs and translating that into a wonderful home to live in. It was a pleasure working with Yony.” - Endrias Leuleseged via Zillow.com

“Yony Kifle and YourDMVTeam provided exceptional service to my fiance and I during our home buying process. I was impressed from the very first meeting with Yony Kifle at the Keller Williams office in Vienna. Yony was prepared with answers, suggestions and real insight to help us accomplish our goals. Having met with several other realestate professionals who had many more years of experience from a quantitative perspective, the quality of my experience was no comparison to what I received from YourDMVTeam. The fundamental aspect that made the client-agent chemistry work for us was that there was an abundance of communication throughout the process. We were made aware of changes, what they meant, provided with counsel before making any decisions (big/small), and most importantly Yony listened and reacted to our requests and needs. But beyond that, one of the KEY things that I think all potential buyers and/or sellers need to know is that the TEAM (YourDMVTeam) is a collection of very professional and knowledgeable individuals who all play a critical role and make your journey a lot more effecient. I personally interfaced with Carey Gooch on many occasion and felt that she aided in making things go by smoothly and in a timely manner. I have already recommended YourDMVTeam and Yony Kifle to friends, family or otherwise because I am a truly satisfied customer.” – Betty Tekeste via Zillow.com

I didn't know anything about buying a home and Yony and his team helped me in understanding the step by step process from the very beginning. I found the home I was looking for the following month and immediately began the process. During the closing time, a few issues came up on my end regarding my employment. If it wasn't for Yony and his team, I wouldn't be able to close on my home successfully. I recommend Yony to anyone who is looking for a home to buy or sell in the DMV area. I wouldn't go with anyone else!” – Sgudeta via Zillow.com
“I would recommend Your DMV Team for anyone who is looking to buy a home. Yony Kifle went above and beyond to ensure that I got my dream home.

He's very professional, and he helped me get the mortgage I needed and was able to close on the house within 3 weeks! Overrall, the whole experience was exceptional and I'm very pleased!” – Sally Alrabi
“We used Your DMV Team to buy our home in VA and they are simply outstanding. Before choosing a real estate agent, i conducted a lot of research to see who would be the best choice so the Your DMV team stood out as the best DC, MD, VA has to offer. Specialy Yony was always on our side working to make our house buying process as simple and successful as possible. The best part about wroking with Your DMV team was that he was always more focused on answering our questions, giving us good advice and always on time. I have recommended Your DMV Team to everyone I know. He is a true professional and a genuinely nice guy. Thanks again to Yony and Your DMV Team for being such a pleasure to work with.” – Tigist via Zillow.com
“So this is the second time that I have worked with Yony from Your DMV team. He helped my wife and I purchase a home in the Springfield, VA areas back in 2011 and recently worked with us to sell it in the Spring of 2017. Yony provided great support to us and did an excellent job marketing the house. Within 2 days of the house we had 7 offers, which were all at asking price or over what we listed. Yony's knowledge for the market and when to sell and at what price, truly got us top dollar for our home sell. We look forward with working with him in the future!” – Endrias Leuleseged via Zillow.com
“Working with The DMV team exceeded any of my expectations. As a first time homebuyer, I was not familiar with the terminology or the best process people to involve. Right away Yoney from DMV team was incredibly friendly and took time to sit down with my partner and I to determine what would be a good fit for us. He even recommended a lending agent in the area, which we ended up using and greatly appreciated. Dmv team was willing to meet us late in the evening to view our condo and put together the offer letter within a couple days of our first meeting. He was very helpful in explaining the entire process and really relieved my stress level even though we were on a very tight timeframe. I truly believe his expertise helped tremendously in our offer getting accepted. I highly recommend The DMV team.”- kb4647150 via Zillow.com

“Working with Yony Kifle at Your DMV Team Realty exceeded our expectations and he made the process of purchasing our first home very smooth and a great experience. As a first time home buyers, we found the "FirstTimeHomebuyer" seminary he put together very educational and helpful. Right after attending that seminar, we reached out to Yony's team who are amazingly friendly & scheduled us to meet with him right away. Yony explained the whole process to us and came up with a plan that was tailed to meet our specific details we needed our first home to have for our growing family.

“My fiance and I met Yony at a 'Your DMV Team' hosted informational session. We were pretty apprehensive about working with an agency to purchase our home, so we wanted to get as much information as possible before making any decisions. We wanted to make sure that we were buying a house based on what we wanted, and not based on what somebody else told us we wanted. Yony made sure to not pressure us from the start. He made sure to make himself available for any questions. We started the process on our own and Yony was more than willing to be a resource to answer questions that we had during the process. Eventually, we realized that he could provide a level of expertise about the area, home buying and offer crafting process that we just didn't have. Once we decided to officially work with Yony, he found homes that fit our tastes in an area where homes were in high demand and being sold within days. He made himself regularly available and was able to get us appointments to view the house the same day he found them! We managed to find someone reliable and willing to go the extra mile. What a relief! Eventually he found us our dream house, one within our budget, and helped us seal the deal. It has been three months since we purchased our home, and we are still in love with it. Your DMV Team wasn't just helpful, they were friendly, they were professional and they had our best interests at heart. They made a challenging and new process manageable, fun and enjoyable. Bottom-line: Am I happy with the home I have? More than I imagined Would I work with Your DMV Team again? Absolutely Would I recommend them to a friend? I already had.” – Michael Laventure via Zillow.com
“Yony is a very patient and understanding realtor. He took the time, consistently, to walk me through the home buying process, even in the matter of redundancy. As a first time home buyer, it was all foreign to me, which made me quite nervous to move forward. Yony was a gentle motivator in moving forward with his experience and knowledge that helped to make the process easier for me. The DMV team as a whole was also very generous and welcoming to me. Within a very stressful time in my path, they all made the home buying experience one that I will never forget. I am blessed to have had a team that walked me through the process with such care and knowledge as Yony and his team did. Thank you!” - user274619 via Zillow.com
“If you're considering buying a home in the DMV, make sure you contact Yony! Working with Yony to find and purchase my first home was a great journey. When you start out with Yony, you receive a buyers consultation, which discusses the whole buying process. As a first time buyer I was researching a lot, but I found this consultation very useful. Yony is very knowledgable in his field and the area. He was attentive to my requirements in a home, provided me with many listing that met my requirements and price range, and never pushed me to make an offer, which as a first time buyer I thought was very important. In addition, Yony is a well connected realtor in the DMV. Once I put my offer in and it was accepted, his team was helpful in each step of the process from setting up the inspection to connecting me with insurance agencies and finding a lender that was able to close for me in less than 3 weeks. I greatly recommend Yony to anyone thinking of purchasing a home especially if it's your first one.” – Eenyew via Zillow.com
“I worked with Yony when buying my first home recently in the DMV area. He is very responsive and knows his business well. He walked me through the home buying process and answered any questions I had no matter how elementary. In addition, his staff was very helpful in coordinating meetings, being available for impromptu showing requests, and overall guiding me through every step of the home buying process. I highly recommend Yony if you're looking for a responsive and knowledgeable agent who would work for you 24/7.” – Dee Zike via Zillow.com
“I had the pleasure of working with Your DMV Team, Yony Kifle, on my first home purchase. As a first time home buyer I had so much to learn, so I attended their free home buyer seminars which gave me a great insight. Yony also took his time to understand what I am looking for in my new house. The familiarity of Yony to the lender program I was using and his high responsive to their request made the process go smoothly. He would text me info about a new house minutes after it is on market. He also played a great role in negotiating a good price with the seller. Over all I believe Your DMV team is professional, resourceful, knowledgeable about the area and the market and committed to their customer’s satisfaction. I highly recommend Your DMV Team!” – rediettakele via Zillow.com
“As a first time homebuyer, I was admittedly all over the place at times. I appreciated Yony's patience in the long process of determining my priorities and looking at homes until we found the right one. You won't get a pushy agent if working with Yony! I was also quite impressed by how accessible Yony was whenever I had a question or concern.” – samgirma via Zillow.com
“My wife and I closed on our new home about 2 weeks ago. No better time to make huge life decisions than in the middle of a pandemic, right?Thank goodness we had Yony Kifle and his team (Your DMV Team) on our side throughout the entire process. They made everything so seamless for us. Yony is very professional, polite, and one of the best real estate professionals I've worked with. For the past 6 years, Yony has been one of my 'go-to' resources for real estate knowledge. He has helped me in numerous ways with real estate and I've never had a bad experience. He is a great communicator and can always be reached when you need him. He is extremely knowledgeable about the DMV area and has an excellent sense of current, real time DMV market conditions. I have counted on his expertise and that expertise has kept me from making some serious missteps. For any buyers or sellers in the DMV area - I highly recommend Yony and his team!” – Bkaitare via Zillow.com
“I've known Yony from the "Your DMV Team" for a long time. Since maybe teenagers. So when I made the decision to buy a house, I reached out to him first. Not only because I know him and trust him, but because I'm aware of his work ethic and his passion and knowledge with Real Estate. I have other very close friends in Real Estate, and I don't doubt others reading this will also. So why did I choose the Your DMV Team and why do I recommend them to others? Simply put, they get the job done and you will feel so comfortable with what I personally consider a very frustrating and cumbersome process of purchasing a home. I spent over 2 years looking for a 2 BR / 2 BA in a specific area, but most were just out of my price range, sold too fast, or people were putting in offers much higher than asking price. Yony and the team suggested some places that were less than 5 miles away from where I wanted to live and they NAILED IT!! They found EXACTLY what I wanted, and it was only 3 miles away from the area I wanted to live in. With that also came a considerable price difference, due to location, that was well within my price range and yet significantly less in comparison to where I was looking. They opened my eyes to the idea that making a small compromise (location in this case) was well worth it if all other boxes were checked. The same size and layout, where I was looking, was priced about $40 - $50K more than what I closed at. Read that again..... Their advice got me EXACTLY what I wanted, except 3 miles further South than I was looking, and that saved me $40 - $50K! The process and experience was a big deal. Leul helped me out there and gave me great advice on the offer to make, how to make a strong offer (without compromising myself and my wants/needs), and all staying within my means and our perceived value of the property. Obviously, I'm writing this review because the offer we put together was accepted. There is still a lot that needs to get done after your offer is accepted. I had lots of questions and I found myself extremely confused at times. All of my questions were answered and I felt very comfortable with the information I was receiving and the negotiations we were working through. Furthermore, the team that backed up Yony and Leul were AMAZING! I can't emphasize that enough. Lucy was great and probably responded to my email questions within 5 minutes of me sending them to her. This team is really there for you. I think anyone can show you a house and pass your offer to a seller, etc... I don't think anyone can provide the knowledge, experience, personal touch, and hands on care the way the Your DMV Team does and can. They care about you and your comfort in buying or selling a home through them. I promise you, it shows!” – Bleneya via Zillow.com
