Testimonials
"Katie Stowe goes above and beyond to make sure I understand the process and that my interests are a top priority. I trust her to keep my needs in mind and to provide salient advice throughout the decision making. She made sure I got the best deal and steered me in the right direction each step of the way. She was communicative and responsive to my needs, even though my availability meant I could mostly talk during the evenings and weekends."
- Meaghan Archer"Wow, we can't say enough about working with Katie this year to purchase a home. Not only were we dealing with a challenging and competative market, we were overseas in different countries, different time zones juggling our own busy work schedules. Katie and her team were oustanding, immediately responsive via phone, text or email when any questions or concerns popped up. She made a stressful situation seamless and we closed much quicker than we anticipated. She has a wealth of knowledge and is a joy to work with. Thank you Katie!!!"
- Irvin and Jessica Martinez, Ashburn, VA"Katie was amazing in the way she supported the sale of our house, which was made particularly challenging because we did it while posted overseas. Starting with all the information she provided us (without pressure) to help figure out whether or not we wanted to sell or rent, to the recommendations she made on which upgrades and fixes to prioritize, to the work she and her team arranged for us on the ground to get everything done, to fixing last-minute glitches with the homeowners association, to being online with us at all hours of her day to keep things moving, and literally being virtually “present” to ensure our closing was proceeding as it needed to, Katie provided the support one can only wish for from a real estate professional. She was extremely communicative, always on top of things, and very proactive with doing what was in our best interest. Katie and her team handled every part of our home sale with the utmost care and expertise. Our house sold very quickly and for the above-asking price. The upgrades she recommended were definitely worth the time and financial investment we made. We highly recommend her services, including for those who might be located elsewhere and selling (or buying) remotely."
- Kathrin Tegenfeldt"Katie provided excellent service as our listing agent. She was very familiar with the neighborhood where we were selling our town home, and made solid recommendations for improvements prior to listing that would appeal to potential buyers. She helped us settle on a list price that would allow us to achieve our goal of selling quickly. Throughout the process of listing the home through open houses to evaluating offers, Katie always ensured we received ample communication. She worked with us to set up meetings around our schedule, and let us know when we needed to make decisions quickly. She offered sound advice as we negotiated with the buyer regarding requests tied to the home inspection. Her familiarity with what was typical in terms of addressing or declining requests from the buyer helped us move quickly through the counteroffer phase. She brought in colleagues and service personnel as needed, and made the process of addressing necessary repairs or updates very painless. We were pleased to work with Katie, and would certainly work with her again in the future!"
- Nancy Peters"In a very competitive market, Katie helped us find the right home. We were searching for homes in DC while living overseas- a difficult task indeed! However, we managed to tour houses, learn about neighborhoods, get pre-inspections, all while being abroad. I know that it would not have been possible without Katie's professionalism, communication, dedication, various connections and attention to detail. Thank you!"
- Kelsey Ann Lyle"Katie was really excellent in working with our unique situation and in a challenging market. Always responsive and helpful! Katie really understood where we were coming from and in the end got us into a great house. We are forever grateful."
- Joshua Paul Johnson"Katie was the person that helped us find the perfect home in Oakton while living abroad. She was stunning.
She worked around our schedule, our time difference and went the extra step to help us out. She visited potential homes several times, she was present at home inspections while we couldn’t, she pointed out potential problems, was very punctual and always available for a phone call or WhatsApp. She noticed that a house we had made an offer on had a serious issue and, setting aside her personal gain, she helped us buy our perfect match.
We have been extremely lucky to have found her and very grateful for all the help."
- Lucia Crippa"We were first-time home buyers in the competitive Arlington market, so having a great realtor was very important to us. Katie found a great listing that I wouldn't have checked out on my own, and within a few weeks we were under contract for an amazing 4BR/3.5BA in a desirable neighborhood of North Arlington. She walked us through every step, recommended a great title company and mortgage lender, and helped us immensely at every stage of the process. On top of everything, she gave our kids the sweetest closing gifts, which were some toys she'd noticed them enjoying during one of our open house visits."
- Rasheed Malik"Katie represented us when we bought a home in March of 2018 and facilitated a seamless home buying experience for us. She was very thorough in explaining the whole process as well as at each stage-specific documents we had to sign. During the house search, she demonstrated excellent knowledge of cpimtrCountry Creek and the broader Vienna area and accommodated special requests from us, including checking the willingness to sell of owners of certain houses we liked particularly well. We also felt Katie placed our interest through out the processs. She meticulously vetted all documents before asking for our signatures. Her attention to detail saved us money when during the final walk-through she identified something that required fixing from the seller. All in all very professional and responsive and I highly recommend Katie to anyone looking to buy/sell.rent."
- pgy001"Katie helped us find a house in Arlington VA in November 2017. After cycling through multiple agents who promised responsiveness and in-depth familiarity with local neighborhoods, I'm thrilled to say that Katie was the only one who actually delivered. She is thorough, very responsive and really made us feel like she was working on our behalf. We would recommend Katie to anyone looking to buy, sell or rent in Northern Virginia, and we look forward to working with her in the future"
- MG Marinelli"I had quite a few stipulations for Katie when I first started looking for a place in Virginia. She found many places that fit all of my needs and still kept looking after I said that I wanted something different. We ended up finding a place that is perfect for me and at a great price none the less. To top it all off I was in a different country when I contacted her and my date to get back home must have changed at least 5 or 6 times. She never complained once and just kept looking until she found the perfect place for me. I could not be happier with where I am living now and I owe that to Katie. She is a great real estate agent and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking"
- M Saudzikowski"Katie Stowe greatly exceeded my expectations in helping me find a condo to rent. She was able to find numerous rentals that met my criteria (even though I may have been vague about what I was looking for). Katie was friendly and professional and worked around my schedule. I will definitely recommend her to others. A+++"
- AMGST42"Katie Stowe helped me find the apartment that I needed. She provided excellent and professional service throughout the whole process. I would recommend her service to anybody."
- Joel A. Moran"Katie, while meeting her work schedule and family's demands, still found time to come to my home to share coffee and explain the steps in getting a home ready for sale. Any question I had was quickly answered from her own knowledge or through her research. Katie proved to be a valued asset in meeting the many steps necessary to get a house to market. One of her first steps was putting me in contact with a trusted contractor, who gave my house the needed look for a welcoming curb appeal. Next step was the downsizing, followed by the house inspection, repairs, the house staging, open house and taking contracts for purchase. These steps and more got me a fair price for my house. During this process I had to have a knee replacement and therapy. And while I had moved out of the house during the last six weeks before closing, Katie handled the scheduling and appointments for the workers, preparing the house for sale."
- Wilson McCarthy, Vienna VA"We were fortunate to meet Katie Stowe when work required a major move for our family into the Washington, D.C. area. Finding a new home was our first priority. And finding an honest, hard-working realtor was a task in itself. But honest and hard-working describes Katie perfectly. Katie made sure she understood exactly what we needed and wanted in a home. She stayed in close contact by e-mail and phone on a daily basis. She did her research and we were not disappointed. When she found us the home we knew would be perfect for us Katie made sure our offer was stronger than three other offers made on that home the same day. And after the offer was accepted, she made sure every detail stayed on track through closing. We could not have asked for a more caring, professional realtor than Katie Stowe. If we find ourselves needing a realtor in the future, she will be the person we call."
- Mike and Irene Minney, Lovettsville VA"Katie's level of service was amazing - very personalized and prompt answers to all our questions. We would enthusiastically recommend our agent Katie."
- Darlene Marie Noble-Zinzer"Katie Stowe of McEnearney Associates is an excellent realtor. We just sold our townhouse with her, and it was an amazing experience. We were posted overseas, and the townhouse needed some renovation work. She provided a responsible and efficient contractor, oversaw all the renovations, including input on design, and expertly shepherded us through a changing DC area market, including some tricky negotiations. I can't say enough about how knowledgeable, responsive, and helpful she was. Plus, she's just a genuinely lovely person who made the whole process go smoothly. We highly recommend Katie to both buyers and sellers; you will not be disappointed in her top-notch service."
- Gayle Vandenberg"Exceptional Service! Phenomenal Experience with Overseas Families Moving Home. All Transactions leading to final closing conducted 11 time zones away. We are an active duty military family and we recently PCS'd from service at the U.S. Embassy in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan to the Northern Capital Region. Because most of my service is overseas, I have not previously purchased a home. Like all of us in uniform, we have to plan for the day that our career comes to an end, so on this move, we decided to purchase a home. Because we initiated the process from overseas, on the other side of the world, I was very nervous about the process and asked other officers for advice and through the Foreign Area Officer community, Katie was highly recommended. We contacted Katie and other Real Estate Agents in the area and Katie by far made the best first impression. As we continued to work with her under contract, that first great impression was only intensified. She did an amazing job. We are now first-time homeowners and the experience of purchasing a home was excellent, despite my initial concerns. Here are the highlights: * Professional, friendly and well thought-out advice. * Fast response on all questions. * Willingness to work with us in hours that were mutually acceptable with an 11 hour time difference. * Great use of tech to run us through Webcam home viewings of all houses we were interested in. * Sage advice as the process continued, to included a willingness to give us 'hard news we didn't want to hear' on one property that we narrowly avoided purchasing (fire damage). * Despite the pressure to buy quickly, Katie gave us the advice we needed to make the best negotiations in our interest. * Help with local contractors. * When asked, she provided several options for highly rated local mortgage lenders, without pushing us toward any."
- JM Comstock"The level of service that I received from Katie Stowe was absolutely outstanding, and everyone I encountered at McEnearney Associates, Inc. was wonderful. I honestly have very little if anything negative to say about the transaction experience; it was seamless from beginning to end. Katie Stowe is the best!"
