"René and Deborah recently listed my luxury penthouse condo in Washington D.C. Not only did they sell it within weeks, but they brought me the buyers as well-and sold it for list price! They were consummate professionals, and were always available to provide valuable counsel. They both went way beyond what other realtors do, and handled every detail for me from start to finish. As a realtor myself, I can honestly say that the Fonsecas are the "Best of the Best" in a very competitive market."

"Rene & Deborah are the definition of Customer Service, and have a drive and determination not seen much in today's Real Estate market.
Recently, a friend reached out to me for help. He was trying to hire a CFO for his large D.C. firm, but lost the candidate because his Realtor had not been helpful. I immediately reached out to Deborah & Rene. They searched high and low, and located an ideal property for this Executive. My friend was extremely pleased, and I was very grateful to the Fonsecas for solving the problem, because it was now my reputation on the line! They demonstrated how important customer service is, and how hard they work for their customers. They do this for everybody. I would refer this team to anybody looking for a property. They go above and beyond.”

"To those of you looking for a Realtor, you are probably familiar with what many say is the first rule of buying and selling property-- that the most important question is location, location, location. But they would be wrong. The most important rule is hiring an agent that has integrity, integrity, integrity. I know Deborah well and she will not compromise herself to get a sale or commission and at a time when getting the deal done is all some think about-- she does not. She thinks about her client and whether the deal is good for them.
