Our Recent Reviews

My wife and I tried unsuccessfully to buy our first house for over a year. We are now proud homeowners and owe it to Tom. He guided us through the process, answered endless questions, pushed us when we needed it, and expertly negotiated on our behalf. He set us up with a fantastic lender who exceeded our expectations and was able to get us a first time homebuyer credit that no other lender mentioned. Tom helped us find houses before they came available and made sure we were first in the door when they went on market. He set us up with an outstanding home inspector that taught us what to look for in our new home. Finally, thanks to Tom we closed on a great house in one of our target neighborhoods for $25k less than asking, plus negotiated several thousand of seller credits. We feel like we are able to create immediate equity with our home. Tom, and the rest of the team, have all assured us that we can call them with any questions anytime, and we have full confidence that they mean it. For anyone looking for a home in the DMV, I highly recommend giving Tom a call.

Deb,

Thank you for all your help and working so closely with Jean to make this happen!

I certainly understand why you’re a top producer in northern VA!

Tom is amazing, a true professional. He patiently and diligently worked with us from start to finish as we searched for and purchased our first home. He truly cares and had our best interests in mind at all times. He is thoughtful, readily available by email and phone, and a true expert of the locations he serves. Being our first home we were very new to the entire process and Tom patiently and professionally walked us through every step of the way. He made sure every step was incredibly smooth and made us feel comfortable whenever we had questions. We wholeheartedly recommend Tom to anyone seeking to purchase a home. Five stars is truly not enough. We are thrilled with our home, and can’t imagine a better home buying experience.

After interviewing 4 realtors familiar with our area, Deb “passed” our review with flying colors. She met with us, explained her process, reviewed what to expect, and delivered on all fronts. Having not been involved with buying and selling for > 20 years, we had questions! And Deb and her team had the answers. Deb’s expertise when evaluating the multiple offers we received was extremely valuable. Using a spread sheet format, we easily could compare apples to apples. She handled the negotiations very well. Deb has been extremely response both before and after the listing and sale of our house. We recommend her without reservation!

Deb was able to sell our house in one weekend for more than we had hoped for. She knew exactly how to prepare the house to maximize our profit. Her timing advice was spot on. We would use her again. 

Deb was wonderful to work with.  She responded quickly to any questions that we had and followed up accordingly.  Communication was excellent and we were very pleased with the home sale process.  I would definitely recommend Deb in the future.

We are first time buyers and Tom has been exceptionally helpful. He guided us starting with showing homes and helping us what to do and what not to do at each step. He negotiated great and was able to get the home we liked. Scheduled every step of the entire process and took care of all appointments. He was always available for any questions that we had and made the whole process very easy for us. Even after the closing he provided excellent service to make sure we are all set. It has been pleasure working with Tom. Thank you so much for all the help and guidance you have provided us.

I sought out Deb Frank after I saw the hefty sale price she achieved in the sale of a house on our street, with the hope that she could do the same for us as we put our house on the market. Deb did an outstanding job in selling our home and in representing us in the purchase of our new home. Her team guided us in preparing our home for sale in such a way that it would appeal to many buyers, and created an amazing marketing package with beautiful pictures and informative write-ups.

In the first 3 days on the market, Deb’s marketing generated 11 showings that resulted in 3 offers, with 2 at full price. We were so pleased with how quickly the house sold at top dollar. In the purchase of our new home, Deb helped us every step of the way and negotiated a fantastic deal. Her responsiveness and care for her clients is unmatched. I highly recommend Deb Frank and her team.

Where do I start? We used Deb to sell our home and buy our new home. Her knowledge of Franklin Farm is unsurpassed. She told me things about my model of home even I didn’t know.

Selling experience: What I really like about Deb is her attention to detail, when it came time to price our house, she came ready with comps and market analysis. She also takes the best pictures of the homes. A photographer came by with an expensive camera and spent almost an hour taking photos. Her flyer was tasteful and informative, and she featured our home prominently on her site. Deb also made some very good suggestions on how to prep our house for sale, I am convinced these last minute changes helped sell the house faster. She even held an open house and sent use buyer feedback reports on an almost weekly basis.

Buying experience: When it was time to buy a house, Deb was there ever step of the way. She made sure there were no surprises and showed us only homes that met our needs. She is very dialed in to the Franklin Farm real estate market, she seemed to know about homes even before they came on the market! Deb also had a pretty good home inspector and title company. The whole process went very smoothly, and my wife and I were both very happy with the new home purchase.

Deb is one of the best Real Estate Agents I’ve ever worked with. Her communication was prompt, her effort was top notch. My only advice for other potential buyer and sellers to call Deb and just talk to her, you will see for yourself.

She is very professional and experienced, she will recommend to replace something with a new one. Make the house easier to sell. She suggested us to replace the appliance to ss. Once we replaced the appliance, we got an offer within a week.

Deb is all business, and that’s what you want representing you. She has the local knowledge of your community, your neighborhood, and she knows what you need to know. She will not make decisions for you or force you into one, that’s all up to you. What Deb will do is get you the information you need when you need it to make one of life’s biggest decisions. We plan on making this area our long term home, but if we had to move again, Deb is the first call we make.

Working with Deb on the recent sale of our home was a wonderful experience. She was extremely responsive to all of our inquiries and kept us informed every step of the way. We highly recommend Deb Frank Homes!

Deb Frank and her team did a great job listing and selling our home. She knows the neighborhoods and markets. The photographs were wonderful. She was quick to answer questions and resolve issues.

Thank you for all of your help!  We have been so pleased with how smooth the entire process was each step of the way.  And, to top it all off, the sale proceeds were in our account by the end of the day yesterday.
Joyce and I extend our best wishes to you and Dave, and for the continued success of Deb Frank Homes. 

Deb recently helped selling my house in Fairfax, VA. She is extremely knowledegable about the market, the process. Very responsive to questions and issues arise during the process. I am very glad that I chose Deb as my agent. Highly recommended if you are looking to buy or sell house.

Deb Frank is a great realtor. She sold our house for us. Her years of experience are a great benefit. She knows the market and what sells houses. She is straightforward and will give you an honest evaluation of what needs to be done to sell your house. But what I really appreciated most was all the things she did behind the scenes to make everything go smoothly all the way to closing.

If you are selling a home, especially in the Herndon/Reston/Chantilly area, do yourself justice and look no further…Deb is your agent. We interviewed several agents when we decided to sell our house of 25 years. What sold us on hiring Deb was the combination of (a) her knowledge of the area and (b) her confidence and insistence that she could get our asking price without having to spend a fortune to “stage” our house.

She and her husband, a certified real estate staging advisor, served as a great team and established a selling process that was both easy and stress-free. Deb was particularly effective in communicating timely and only when necessary. We ended up getting a qualifying offer in one-week during a time of year when house buying was slow. Deb did a fantastic job representing our best interests from the inspection process, to keeping us on point to make sure we satisfied all contingencies, and finally being there in person to support us during closing.

Choosing Deb as your agent will be a decision you will not regret.

From beginning to end Deb was a true professional not only in the sale of our house but also assisting us to find and buy our new house. We talked to other agents before hiring Deb and she seemed to stand out from the others in many aspects such as the marketing and property promotion that she does. Above all that Deb has tons of experience in handling tough negotiations which we realized during the sale of our house and again in the purchase of the new house. Thanks Deb, we could not have done this without you!

We have known Deb Frank since my husband and I were engaged in 2003. Deb is like family to us, she helped us buy our first home together and as our family grew she went out of her way to help us buy a bigger home for our growing family. Recently we made a state move and she helped us find the perfect family to rent our home to. She is very professional, knowledgeable of her field and you always feel like she is on your side and cares about you as a person. She is the only realtor we would ever deal with and recommend to anyone.

Good knowledge of the area and helpful to get prepared to sell the house. She had information of the necessary repairs and upgrade to be done and had provided the names of contractors. All in all, in spite of the stressful time to sell the house, she had helped us in many ways. We highly recommend her.

Deb Frank is a very professional and knowledgeable agent. She has sold three homes for us. Information and presentation of homes on her website is the best out there. She understands buying and selling trends, and is an expert negotiator handling all aspects of selling a home with professionalism. She is fantastic keeping us informed and promptly answers emails and texts. I recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy a home in Northern Virginia without any hesitation!

Deb and her team were spot with assessment, advise, timing and process from the first meeting to the quick sale of our home. As someone who’s moved a lot in the past 30+ years, this was the easiest and most straight forward sale of a home I have experienced. Thank you, Deb Frank, and your very professional team! 

Deb helped my wife and I sell our townhouse and buy a single family home when our family was expanding. She was very personable from our first meeting and we still keep in touch with her for advice on home improvements. Her expertise on the local market and marketing strategies proved very beneficial in having our townhouse under contract the first weekend it was on the market.

She showed us many different neighborhoods to find the right fit for our single family home.

She also had many recommendations for hanymen and landscapers once we purchased our home to make it ours.

Both buying and selling were a smooth process from start to finish. I would highly recommend her.

My husband and I met Tom Bauer, an associate of Deb Frank, while attending an open house. We came as it was ending, but Tom graciously allowed us to walk through. We told him of our need to buy a home. Over the next 9 months, Tom was exceedingly helpful and patient as we toured at least 50 homes. The market where we were looking was very competitive and Tom worked diligently to help us find the right home for our family. We are now in a home that is a perfect fit for our family and our children couldn’t be happier! I would enthusiastically recommend Tom Bauer and Deb Frank to anyone looking for the perfect home for their family! 

Deb did an outstanding job in selling my home. She stands up for her client and is an excellent negotiator. The seller’s agent was putting some persistent pressure on her, but she successfully prevailed against it. In our first meeting I instantly connected with her and always had the greatest confidence in her getting the sale successfully completed. I was very happy about the terms of the settlement. I will highly recommend her. 

To say that we had a positive experience with Deb as our agent, is an absolute understatement. She took us through selling our old home and then purchasing our new one. Throughout both transactions, Deb’s knowledge, support, and diligence to our wishes exceed our expectations. With our selling process, everything went very smoothly and we had multiple contracts within the first 10 days listing the home. In the end, our beloved home sold for above our asking price and higher than that floor plan had ever sold in the neighborhood before.

The purchase of our new home was challenging. We had a unique situation where the process became very complicated due to events beyond both parties’ control that were exacerbated by the seller’s awful agent but Deb was amazing. The way she encouraged the organization of our original contract combined with her team of trusted vendors, saved us. I don’t know how many times we reflected on how thankful we were to have Deb working for our interests because of how much her experience and diligence to us, her clients, really shined in the face of a buyers nightmare that was created by a series of really unfortunate, unexpected events.

I recommend Deb without hesitation. Her experience and diligence to always represent our best interests help us move from the house of dreams to our new dream home and we couldn’t be happier. Thanks, Deb!

Deb demonstrated perseverance and professionalism (and a healthy dose of optimism) throughout the entire buying/selling process and was instrumental in bringing everyone together and making everyone involved in the transaction work as a team. We knew that her experience, as well as her knowledge of our area was going to be critical, and it definitely paid off when she helped us find the ideal house while at the same time closing on a complex, multiparty transaction as was the sale of our old house. I know for sure that this wouldn’t have happened without her, and we are very happy that she is our realtor, and we LOVE our new house!

Deb helped us sell our place for more than what other realtors said we could get for it. She provided great expertise with marketing and staging our home, and due to her experience in the area we also went to her for buying our current home. She helped us find exactly what we were looking for and in our price range too, we couldn’t be happier! If we ever plan to sell/buy again, we will call Deb Frank!

Thoroughly knew the real estate market in our area and it was quite obvious she had a tremendous understanding and appreciation for the process. Most real estate agents, from my perspective, know bits and pieces and learn while they work your real estate sale. Deb was quite responsive during the whole process and truly knew what had to get done to minimize the number of days our home was on the market. We would certainly recommend her to others looking to sell real estate in our area.

We could not have been happier with our choice to use Deb Frank in selling and purchasing a new house last year. We were outgrowing a home that we loved and she helped us search Northern Virginia for the perfect upgrade. She was patient, caring, extremely knowledgable and readily available on both transactions. Deb helped ease the transition with our young kids and gladly welcomed them as part of the process. She was able to make our old home stand out and shine beyond our greatest expectations. We had multiple offers and a signed contract the same weekend that it listed. We would highly recommend Deb to any friend or family member selling or buying in Northern Virginia! We will be forever grateful for all of your hard work, Deb!

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Deb as a buyer and as a seller. She has a high level of knowledge and experience, especially in our neighborhood, and I had the utmost confidence in her ability to get my family into the house we needed at the best price and terms. She knows how to negotiate and cut through the red tape, but is also warm and caring. I would recommend her without any reservations (and have!).

We have worked with Deb on three different occasions. She always got back to us right away and sold all three properties very quickly. She is very knowledgeable with real estate in Northern Virginia. She always offered ideas to help us sell our house. Deb is very detailed with her listing information and the pictures she takes of the house and yard. I would recommend her to anyone looking to to buy or sell a home.

From beginning to end Deb was a true professional not only in the sale of our house but also assisting us to find and buy our new house. We talked to other agents before hiring Deb and she seemed to stand out from the others in many aspects such as the marketing and property promotion that she does.

ed used other agents in the past, including the last one who could not sell my house. Deb made all the difference in the world, starting with her marketing of our house then with her skills in negotiating and experience.

Tom was excellent to work with and very timely in his responses. He helped us find our dream home and artfully negotiated the sale and contingencies on our purchase.

Tom helped both sell our home and buy our new one, and we couldn’t recommend him highly enough! Our past experiences with realtors had been filled with non-responsiveness, insistence on homes we didn’t want to consider, and a lack of transparency. We had none of those issues with Tom! He was quick to point out potential issues with homes, had a list of great contractors to work with, was always on-time and quick to respond, and was a fantastic negotiator. We’ll no doubt call Tom if we need to move in the future.

Tom was great to work with! Very patient as I toured tons of homes and weighed pros/cons of houses, neighborhoods and schools with him! Once I settled on a house, he helped me determine an escalation amount (very competitive market here) and I finally found a new home for myself and my daughter. Everything during the closing phase went smoothly – no issues.

Tom helped my wife and I with our first home purchase. The b7y was extraordinarily competitive and stressful, however Tom did a superior job and helping us through the process. My wife and I could not be happier with our experience; Tom still checks in on us to ensure we are happy. I would highly recommend him.

We absolutely LOVED working with Sara. We were very particular buyers, and Sara not only helped us find exactly what we were looking for in a neighborhood we love, but helped us negotiate a great deal in an extremely competitive market. We never would have been able to buy our house without her help. She really knows the market in our area extremely well, and knew how to help us make a compelling offer that was within our means. She’s also very nice and we enjoyed her company, which is really important when you are constantly seeing homes with someone! She was really great about getting us in to see homes as soon as they came on the market, which was critical in our area. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to buy a house!
