Patty was absolutely fantastic to work with during my home buying experience. She came highly recommended by friends of mine who bought with her back in July. They knew I loved Potomac Shores and told me when I was done being rejected in bidding wars up in Arlington to let them know and they would put me in touch with Patty. Finally, one evening after my apartment flooded and I’d lost yet another house in a bidding war, I asked them to please reach out to Patty on my behalf. That was the best decision I could have made. Patty is as my generation says “my vibe.” She’s professional, straight forward but so kind and nice. She understood that my budget was my top priority but that I had desires as well. I wanted to live in Potomac Shores near my friends, and have a newer home. PATTY DELIVERED! She got me in to meet with Stanley Martin’s sales representative, Michelle Lindsey, and I bought a brand new home with everything that I could have wanted and safely within my budget. My home is so beautiful and it was all thanks to Patty’s expertise. Also, she explained the new build home buying process to me, went to all the big major meetings with me, sent me picture of my home, answered all my questions and was my advocate when I needed her to be. I can’t recommend her enough. She’s absolutely amazing and I look forward to buying my next home with her.

Patty was knowledgeable, strategic, consistent and communicative throughout the entire process. From day one she was prepared and had a game plan to get my house sold for top dollar. I would recommend her for any situation, but especially homes in Potomac Shores!

11/2020- Peggy James- Marketed and Sold my Home in Potomac Shores
I recently sold a house with Peggy James from Twins Selling Real Estate, LLC and while this can be a very stressful process, I felt 110% confident by partnering with Peggy. Her honesty and sincerity made me feel at ease. If you are familiar with the Peanuts – Charlie Brown cartoons, well you know Linus had his security blanket always with him, well Peggy was my security blanket. I felt at ease knowing Peggy was with me at every part of the process, from listing the property to closing. She was forthright, provided great feedback, helped clearly explain all details and managed the actual sale negotiation excellently. In addition, she was extremely responsive to every one of my questions, no matter how small. Peggy’s knowledge, professionalism and terrific instincts guided me through to an excellent outcome. It was truly a pleasure to work with Peggy – I’ve found that she keeps her client’s best interests a priority and you can always trust that she is on top of every detail, big and small, which gave me great peace of mind and made the process stress free. I would like to thank Peggy from bottom of my heart for all her effort, fantastic service, outstanding customer approach and her incredible expertise in the Potomac Shores property market. The whole experience was exceptional. I can strongly recommend Peggy James if you’re in need of selling your house.

I was referred to Patty by a friend that had worked with her in the past. When I had my first meeting with Patty, I didn’t have to say much. She already knew everything about the community, about my house, the comps, the right time sale…she had a wealth of knowledge which made it much easier for me. She told me exactly what needed to be done to sell my home and received top dollar for it. I’m very thrilled and glad I was referred to her. Thank you so much, Patty! You are amazing to work with.

Oh goodness! I don't know where to begin. There are so many wonderful things to say about Patty. Let's go back to about 3 years ago. My husband and I were riding around looking at homes and came across a house that we were interested in. The sign out front belonged to Twins Selling Real Estate. We called the number and spoke with Patty and we were overwhelmed by her wealth of knowledge, not only as it pertained to that particular home, but the market overall. After learning what we were looking for and gathering our contact information, she provided us with home options that best fit our wants/needs and budget. There are realtors that flood you with emails, house after house, without building a real relationship with you. And after a while, you just get sick of the emails. Patty isn't like that. As her client, you feel like you are the only family in the world looking to purchase a home. She is up close and personal. She dedicates herself to you and she is very honest. She doesn't always tell you what you want to hear, but she always tells you what you need to hear. I appreciate that.
Ok, back to the story...Patty was excellent. She listened and showed us many great homes. We even put an offer on a couple of them. But, after working with Patty for a little while, I developed buyers fatigue. Coming from South Carolina, I had no idea, although Patty was very clear about it, (like I said, she is very honest) what the real estate market was like in Northern VA. So, we threw in the towel, worked on building our credit, and reached out to Patty again a few months ago. Even though we didn't purchase a home the first time around, Patty was still on our radar because she is simply the best.
Well, fast forward to now and we are in a home. Our home (I love saying that!). And I can say without a shadow of doubt that WE WOULD NOT BE HERE WITHOUT PATTY. When I say this woman knows what she is doing, I mean it. I can recall walking through homes with her and she would point out every little and big thing that we ought to consider if we were interested in moving forward with a house. Because of her experience, she was able to tell us what each thing might cost us in the future. She made sure we considered all things. She's like a mom that wants the very best for her children. That's how it is with Patty. It's not just about closing a deal. She truly cares about you. She cares about the life your children will have and how you function as a family. She is extremely mindful and I appreciate that about her.
I recommend Patty and Twins Selling Real Estate to all families of all ages because she's knowledgeable, professional, responsive, and considerate. And I thank her from the very bottom of my heart!

As first time home sellers, we couldn't have been more happy with our experience with Peggy.
