From a satisfied client:
"We recently celebrated the first year anniversary of the purchase of our home, and it gave us an opportunity to reflect on the ease of the entire process of obtaining it. We were not looking for another house but found a place with the yard we had been dreaming of. Our mortgage lender suggested a real estate agent that she had worked with in the past and as we valued the opinion of this person who had helped us purchase our town home we chose to give this agent a try. Immediately Kim Muffler became invested in our family and helping us determine the best approach for not just the purchase of our dream home but also the sale of our town home. We believe in working a problem when things come up and Kim is exactly the same - in fact, she is a bit of a bulldog. She was there for our home inspection, up on a ladder, engaging with both my husband and the inspector for the entire day. She was also on top of the seller to satisfy any and all inspection items that required attention. Kim held us to the same high standard upon the sale of our town home, which we would have no other way. Her dedication and integrity stood out; she was always available and always thinking through each step of the process and what was fair and right. We worked in close communication with Kim, and continue to stay in touch - in fact, we consider her a friend. Because she lives in the area she has the expertise of the local real estate market, and her years of experience in the industry make her a powerhouse - as her sales numbers show. At no point did we feel like a commission or anything other than a partner in both the sale and purchase of our homes. Although that may sound like a complicated scenario on paper, Kim had a direct impact on the smoothness of which everything took place."

"To judge whether my wife and I selected the right real estate broker, you have to start with the end result because, in the end, that is what counts most. Our house went on the market Wednesday evening and by Sunday evening we had a "no contingency offer" at the price we had asked...that was four days! This type of success was due to a strong partnership between Kim, her team, my wife and I.
Kim Muffler has a proven method that encompasses the entire "home selling cycle" from the initial sit-down meeting until the house is sold and settled. When Kim visited us the first time, she was able to set expectations from the start. She had done her homework and spent over two hours explaining the whole process including what responsibilities "she and her team had", what responsibilities "my wife and I had", what our home "realistically" could sell for, and finally developing a "fix it list" based on a thorough walk through of our home.
After the initial meeting, Kim was available wherever my wife or I had a question. She was able to refer us to proven contractors she had work with in the past to help us whenever we ran into something we couldn't do ourselves. During the "preparing the house for sale" process, Kim personally came back to our home on several occasions to check on the progress we were making, review the next steps, and, most importantly, keep us informed.
My wife and I do not mean to imply that getting our home ready to sell was easy because it was not. Selling one's home is unsettling with a lot of unknowns; however, having someone with the experience and knowledge Kim Muffler and her team possess certainly made things easier. Kim knows the Northern Virginia market and what the prospective buyers in this area will be looking for in their new home. My wife and I have no hesitation in recommending Kim Muffler."

"When the time finally came to put the house up for sale, I interviewed a couple of realtors looking for the right listing agent. I found that agent in Kim Muffler. From the very start, her energy and knowledge of the real estate market and ins and outs of selling a house were evident. At our initial meeting, she assessed the house, provided a detailed description of what her role would be in the process and what she thought the house
could potentially list for given the area, the attributes of the house and other comparable home sales. Her no nonsense, straight forward, get it done attitude in addition to the obvious knowledge of the business and the market were what made it clear that the house would be sold quickly as possible but it would be done right.
Working with Kim was wonderful. After establishing the sales price, contact information (to ensure timely communication) and other necessary documentation, she laid out exactly what would happen and when. There were no surprises, no unexpected actions required of me. Except for providing some information that only I could provide, once Kim was on the job, she took over the concerns and worries of selling the house. She walked me through each step ensuring I knew when the sign for the house would be delivered, when the photographer would be there to create the absolutely beautiful on-line and hard copy brochure, and providing suggestions on how to stage the house on my own. She even assisted with some staging items of her own. All of that was just to get the house on the market and to its first and only open house. Thanks to Kim’s excellent negotiating skills, I had a fantastic offer 3 days after the house went on the market!
The offer process displayed Kim’s strong negotiating skills, and they continued to be evident as we moved through the inspection and final sales processes. Once again, Kim outlined exactly what would happen, when and who was involved. She kept in contact with the buying agent and kept me informed throughout. She assisted with obtaining the termite inspector and a contractor to address the items that came out of the inspection. She helped to make the process as clear and painless as possible.
Kelsey Muffler, Kim’s Director of Client Services, was also essential to the process. She made sure appointments were arranged and things kept moving throughout the process. She was key to ensuring that communication was occurring and that I was well aware of what was going on.
I can’t thank Kim and Kelsey enough for all that they did and the encouragement that they provided throughout the process. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Kim again, whether it was to sell or to buy a house. I highly recommend Kim to anyone who is looking for a realtor with knowledge, integrity and energy."
