what others have to say about us
Amy and Anna are the best real estate professionals I have ever worked with! Amy and Anna are unlike any other realtors I have ever encountered. From our first meeting through the completion of the transaction, they were highly attentive to every detail! Amy and Anna are extremely knowledgable about market conditions, pricing and have their finger on the pulse of the real estate industry. Knowledge like theirs is uncommon and commitment like theirs is even more rare! They both work extremely hard to learn about the property they are marketing and even harder to attract qualified buyers. Amy and Anna are supported by a full team of professionals who are similarly committed. In my 30+ years of real estate transactions, I have never encountered real estate professionals as knowledgable, dedicated or hard working as Amy and Anna ... and they have fantastic personalities too! I will hire Amy and Anna again to assist with my next real estate transaction - simply put, they are absolutely fantastic! - Paul
Hands-on and highly experienced help finding our perfect home. During a difficult year, Anna was able to make our search for a new home easy and pleasant, and when we found the right place, she helped us create a highly competitive offer so we could secure it! I would recommend her real estate skills to anyone! - Amanda T.
I’m writing to tell you about the incredible experience we had working with your real estate team. Sergei and Alex first showed us the property, and were incredibly kind and patient with us (I say patient because we visited many times, and they were always there with a smile, knowledge and good advice). When we first set foot on the property, we knew that this was our dream home. Unfortunately for us, many people felt the same way, and multiple bidders came to the table. This is when we had the great fortune of meeting Anna Barkhoudarian, who came on as our agent. And after this experience, she will always be our agent; I’m sure you’ll soon understand why. Anna navigated us through treacherous waters, advising us on exactly how to respond through the bidding and escrow process. As this was my first purchase, I was unsure in this arena; Anna was my rock and advisor throughout. She negotiated on our behalf with the bank for necessary repairs (which we thought impossible) and handled every aspect of our experience personally and with extreme care. She went to battle for us everyday, and all with good humor and sincere interest in our happiness. Every call I made, she answered immediately; every issue which arose, she stayed on top of. I know some real estate transactions are easy. Ours was incredibly complex. At several points we were in jeopardy of losing our dream home; from other bids, from cash buyers, to deadlines to close, issues with the lender, repairs — all of these issues Anna handled with incredible surety and resolve. She did everything in her power for us to get the home — and she succeeded. Her good work ethic has attracted like-minded team members in Alex and Sergei, and all of them function together like a well-oiled machine. As we sit here today, in our new living room, we count my many blessings; the foremost of which on our minds is Anna and her team. Thank you most sincerely - Matt + Leah A.
I cannot recommend Anna, Alex and Sergei at DJB Homes International more highly. They’ve guided me through several purchases now, including a short sale and a 1031 exchange. With each purchase I am more and more impressed. Anna, Alex and Sergei are knowledgeable and always up to speed on every detail. In addition to making sure that each purchase closed successfully, they were by my side throughout each transaction from lender meetings to coordinating with out of state legal council and took the time to educate me at each step along the way. Anyone who has purchased real estate understands that each transaction comes with it’s own set of unexpected circumstances, but the DJB team always had a clear game plan and was able to deal with each one as a minor speed bump instead of a roadblock. Anna, Alex and Sergei are the only real estate agents I work with and whom I would recommend. - Deborah A.
We have worked with Anna for the past 25 years. This is our 3rd home that we have purchased. 2 of them have been through Anna. She is an amazing agent. She listens to our needs and she delivers above and beyond. She is also easily reachable and promptly replays to all our questions and concerns. It truly was a pleasure working with her. Thank you so much for all that this amazing team has done. - Svetlana G.
Anna Barkhoudarian was an absolutely priceless asset! I bought & sold property before but I never in my life met such opposition. Selling today can be quite daunting BUT Anna knows Real Estate inside/out. I can honestly say the current market is no match for her. It was a transaction that others deemed impossible, but she went beyond the call of duty; was on the phone at 6AM everyday, negotiating with 3 banks and assisting me with piles of paperwork. Her advice and expertise helped me close a Gigantic Chapter in my life. Truly a MIRACLE: I am very, very BLESSED, she worked with me, appreciate sincerely all her hard work and dedication. I cannot say enough about her overall effectiveness and kind attention to me. She is knowledgeable, organized and meticulous. I'm a pretty optimistic person but there were days that caused me to question the process. She was always very positive, encouraging and got me through the stresses of selling a home of this magnitude. So, if you've been tossing and turning about buying or selling your house. I recommend Anna 1001%. Anna is fabulous to work with. She has your best interest at heart. Expertise...Anna has an impressive track record of the market, homes, and the process. Anna is easy to reach, and explains things thoroughly, such a plus! Trustworthy...she is "up-front" and diligent in making sure there is complete & open communication between all parties involved, to avoid issues. Anna has great follow through from beginning to the end. AND if you think your transaction is impossible, Anna will make closing the deal possible! - Ungenita P.
