\342\200\234Michele Symcak gets me! After 11 moves during two decades of military service, I finally found someone who truly understood my family's needs and concerns, and someone whom I could trust to our interests first. Someone who listened to us. Michele was an advisor we could really count on!\342\200\235 --- Colonel P., US Army (Retired)Words to live by. And words to live up to! It's why I enjoy what I do so much. As someone who grew up in a close family of Italian descent where character and work ethic mattered most, I very much believe that my clients deserve straight talk (tempered by compassion), unparalleled service, and an incredibly positive real estate experience. My personal philosophy is that it begins with a solid bond of mutual trust and clear communication between client and agent. I recognize that every buyer or seller has unique needs, and my job is to address your needs and be at your side every step of the way during what is a time of heightened stress for you and your family.Clients, both friends and strangers alike, have chosen to work with me because of my track record of success over 17 years as a real estate profession that is founded on an ethical approach to business and a level of demonstrated expertise that many believe differentiates my service from their past experiences.A senior manager in our brokerage recently asked me what I attribute my success to. My answer is easy:\342\200\234I love what I do, and my goal is to ensure that my clients are so happy with me at the end of what is obviously a complex process that they refer me to their friends and family!\342\200\235--- Top Producer, Northern Virginia Association of REALTORs--- Military and Corporate Relocation Specialist--- Preferred Member of CARTUS Relocation Network forNFCU RealtyPlus Programs
