Judy,
I just cannot thank you enough for the amazing job you did for us selling our house. I am totally and completely impressed and realize how great a job you did securing us such an exceptional offer. You are an awesome real estate agent! We plan to fully articulate our thanks in a full fledged letter, but I really wanted to tell you how impressed we are and grateful that you were our real estate agent.
You totally graced this house and found terrific people to be the next owners.
I think I can finally fall asleep now - this is so far beyond our expectations. Thank you so much for a job done exceptionally well.
All the best and many, many thanks,
Kathy and Matt

Dear Ms.Faust
I would like to express my family´s appreciation for the unflagging professionalism and support demonstrated by Ms. Judy Kogod in regard to the purchase of our new Washington,DC home and the sale of our Takoma Park house. In the hunt for our new home, Judy´s service went far beyond tirelessly identifying listings and showing us homes; rather, she fully served as our advocate, identifying options, conducting thorough and detailed analyses of comparable homes and neighborhoods, and carefully managing the bid process.
Judy deftly managed the sale of our prior home with an approacj that netted multiple offers following the initial open house; the interest she generated clearly reflected the care-and flair- involved in preparation of the marketing materials. Her work yielded a sales price well above asking.
Judy is a careful listener and internalized our often varying descriptions of what we were looking for out of both transactions. She coached us through the relevant processes and also provided related support through an alliance of quality support services ? from the settlement attorney to the home and termite inspectors-all of which greatly eased the facility of the purchase and sale and our stress level.
We look forward to recommending Judy highly to friends and associates and we will always remember her warmly for guiding us so smoothly through a major transition.

Dear Ms Faust,
My husband and I would like to take a moment to express our gratitude to one of your agents, Judy Kogod. Our relationship with Judy for both the selling of our former home in Berwyn Heights and the purchase of our new home in Chevy Chase was successful in great part due to Judy´s expertise, persistence,attention to detail and general helpfulness.
Because both my husband and I work full-time and have a child under age two, our schedules are very busy and our free time somewhat limited. Judy was always willing to work around our conflicting calendars by meeting us at our home, at her office, or even at a prospective house. She was always well-prepared for meetings so we could get right down to work , always got to the point in a professional yet direct manner that we could appreciate, and she even showed wonderful patience as we attempted to conduct business with a curious toddler in tow.
In looking for our new home Judy performed targeted searches in the areas we had identified and made helpful recommendations as to which houses we might preview and which ones we might skip. It became eminently clear after a couple of trial runs that Judy really had a pulse on the style of home and neighborhood we were seeking, and thus she cut down a lot of leg work for us by being able to hone in on the houses in which we would be most interested. She consistently offered sound advice and gave us room to deliberate when we needed it.
When we finally found a home in Rock Creek Forest that we really liked Judy worked diligently with the owners who were selling without an agent. Often she quietly performed ministerial duties on their behalves (due to their inexperience in real estate transactions) in order to facilitate a smooth sale for us.
On the other side of the move Judy worked very hard for us to get our first home in Berwyn Heights sold. First, she helped us make great improvements to the property both inside and out in order to make its "show quality" more attractive. She even brought in some of her own furniture and accessories to brighten the house and I still marvel at how well she integrated our existing items with hers to improve the look and feel of the house.
Although we put our home on the market in summer, right at the cusp of a real estate drought in the area Judy never gave up on our house. She held numerous open houses, followed up on every lead and gently advised us on how and when to make various strategic moves, such as price reductions and changes in marketing. When we finally found a buyer, Judy brokered some lengthy negotiations with finesse, particularly around issues related to a contingent purchase offer and the final post-inspection repairs. All tolled, we sold our home in sluggish Prince Georges County in 4 months, while other homes on our block remain on the market.
Finally, we have truly come to value Judy as a person. She has given our daughter a congratulatory present upon our move, and has even recommended a Christmas present for my husband to get me. Clearly her thoughtfulness ranges far beyond her real estate acumen and is a reflection of the quality of her character.
We could not be more happy with the outcome of our move. We love our new home and neighborhood and we are eternally grateful that we sold our first home to someone we believe will care for it lovingly! Judy was instrumental in making this all happen and we will not hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking a real estate agent in this area.
Sincerely Karen K and Dan I

Dear Ms. Crago Faust
It has been almost a year since I moved into my lovely condo, which is located on Amherst Ave. in Wheaton, MD. I just wanted to write you a quick note to let you know how much I appreciated Judy Kogod's help and support during the past year. Without he diligent research, I wouldn't have found this place. I am also very grateful that she wrote such an amazing offer to the seller, who immediately accepted my offer. On top of that, after I moved in Judy spent three days helping me put pictures together, buying the perfect furniture, and helping me assemble them. She went out of her way like no other realtor would.
I want to thank Judy very much for her hard work in assisting me to find my very first home; I will recommend her to everyone I know.
Best Regards,
Lina G.,CFP
Director of Finance
