"Rob Carter was absolutely superb. He is EASILY the best Realtor I've ever worked with. He was extremely knowledgeable, honest, and tireless. My wife and I were extremely comfortable with his demeanor and overwhelmed with how much it seemed that Rob truly had our best interests at heart. His ability to adapt and overcome when obstacles (sometimes very challenging ones) got in the way of success; he managed to get us to closing on time even though the odds seemed against us. His advice, which we trusted and took, proved sound at every turn. I cannot say enough good things about Rob and have already recommended him and ZipRealty to two of my co-workers at the office." Buyer, Chevy Chase, MD

"Thank you, Rob Carter for your help in buying my new home. I would definitely recommend your services and ZipRealty to others. " - Beverly McLaughlin

"Rob was wonderful. As a first-time homebuyer, I was initially overwhelmed by the process. Rob's patience and guidance were invaluable. He was very informative and extremely prompt in answering questions, setting up showings, and generally walking me through the process. He was equally helpful throughout the settlement phase by making sure I had everything I needed and touching base with the lender, seller's agent, and title company. I would recommend Rob to anyone looking for an agent. When I'm ready to move on from this property to another, Rob will be my first call!" - Diane DeMoura, Springfield, VA
|
|
|
"As first time home buyers, we especially appreciated Rob's patience and his impressive knowledge. He helped to decrease the overwhelming nature of the process, all the while maintaining a very professional attitude." - Buyer
|
|
|
"Rob was very helpful and knowledgeable and followed up on every detail from locating the condo that I wanted, to securing financing from the lender with the best rate, to ensuring that everything was lined up for the closing." - Buyer
|
|
|
"Rob is a dream real estate agent. Flawless, remarkable representation. We bought our house in less than 2 weeks. Needless to say - we are very happy with the purchase. I hope we are not going to sell our new house any time soon. However, if we would ever want to sell it - we already know the best real estate agent in the area!" - Buyer
|
|
|
"I cannot think of any experience I had that I did not like. Rob was very accomodating, walked my wife and I through our first home purchase and things went extremely smooth. We did not experience any of the horror stories you hear about at any time in our process." - Buyer
|
|
|
"Rob is a great agent, fair and courteous, and I was a choosy buyer and he helped me thoroughly." - Kevin D.
|
|
|
"Rob has been great throughout the buying process. He was very prompt in returning emails and answering each question thoroughly. He negotiated well and ensured a smooth settlement. Plus, he was very ethical - a rare thing to see in this business and market." - Buyer, Washington, DC
|
|
|
"Rob observed my online searches, listened to my comments, and found an excellent property. He talked us through the contracting process such that I understand very well how the process works, which has not been true in my previous real estate transactions. I felt confident enough in him to then hire him as the sellers agent for my current property. My experience with him as a buyers agent set him apart from the other agents I interviewed to represent me as a sellers agent." Dan Roek, Washington DC - Buyer/Seller

"My agent, Rob Carter, was a pleasure to work with and there for me from our first meeting until my closing. I would highly recommend him to anyone." - Robert Kimbles

"Rob could not have made my first home purchase any easier! He explained everything and handled all of the details. I cannot thank him enough! " - Kristin Yochum

"Rob was great! ZipRealty is Great! When I buy a house, I look at every house on the market, but I don't want to visit them. Zip allowed me to see where houses were on the map, see a bird's eye view of them, and I could even look at the neighborhood - all from the comfort of my home. Once I found a few that were real contenders, I'd call Rob and go look at them. I can't tell you how many houses and neighborhoods we eliminated, saving both my and Rob's time (even though we looked at a lot of houses). Rob did an excellent job negotiating our contract, and we were able to take advantage of a down market... exactly the reason why we decided to look. We then used Rob to sell our Townhouse and it sold in three weeks. He had excellent 360 degrees tours of the house, as well as vivid photos on every major website. We got a ton of traffic and quickly sold at 99% of our asking price. To add to all of this, I'm getting money back from Zip on my purchase, and I only paid 5% on my sale. This is big! If I had one word to sum up my process with ZipRealty, and specifically Rob Carter, it would have to be HOMERUN! Thanks so much!" - Tom Keeley, Potomac, MD

"When I initially contacted ZipRealty, I did so because I was attracted to the rebate offer. After I met Rob in person, I realized that although I was getting a "discount" financially speaking, I was not getting discounted service by any means. In fact, Rob Carter is the most professional, brightest, and most helpful agent I have ever encountered both as a seller and as a buyer. He was timely, responsive, and most importantly, he genuinely looked out for me. I made several offers before I found my perfect home. He continued to look out for my best interest from start to finish and I completely trust him as a result. I have recommended him to several of my friends already and because of Rob, I will return to ZipRealty in the future as a seller as well!" - Tressa Wang, Rockville, MD

"Rob was extremely helpful and patient with us. As a first time buyer, he was patient in explaining how the entire home buying process works to me. He was also invaluable during a very tough negotiation process, he was professional and thoughtful throughout!" - Kaysha Johnston, Washington, DC
|
|
|
"Rob has been a great resource - both in terms of finding the house we wanted and selling our current home at a time when the market was down. His marketing strategies were excellent, and pointers to get the house ready for showing were very useful. I would rate him among the best in the business." - Buyer & Seller, Washington DC

"Mr. Carter was very helpful with my first home purchase. I don't think I could have done it without him! Very professional and knew alot about the nation's capital." - Dennis Butler, Washington, DC

"As a first time home buyer I was extremely apprehensive about purchasing, especially considering the current market. Rob walked me through all of the necessary steps and it was a comfort to not have to worry about a single stage of the home buying process.
From day one, he was able to provide me with information necessary for me to make educated decisions about my purchase.... I honestly believe that using ZipRealty was one of the best decisions that I could have made. Having access to interactive maps and search tools and knowing that I had an extremely capable agent working for me and taking note of homes that I was interested in made things simple.
Rob set up appointments at times that were most convenient for me and was always available to respond to an e-mail or phone call. I know for a fact that I am not an easy customer and when it comes to big decisions I have a lot of questions. Rob never once let me down....
I have already recommended Rob to one of my good friends, who has also decided to purchase with Rob's assistance. He will be closing on Wednesday. I honestly cannot say enough positive things to convey my appreciation for Rob's assistance. " - Buyer

"Great Customer Service Award should be given to my Agent. He has warm and pleasant concerns about my homebuying needs. I have told others about the great service. He supported me to the end of the process. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!" - Deborah Price, Washington, DC

"Rob did an excellent job preparing me for my first home purchase. He often went out of his way to explain certain processes to me and was always available for questions. He was extremely knowledgeable and I truly appreciated all his efforts. I would recommend any potential home buyer (or seller) to Rob in the future. He exceeded my expectations in all regards. Thanks!" - Sean Torcasi, Washington DC

"Rob did an excellent job and has fantastic insight both into the market and people in general. A commanding knowledge of how to use online tools to quickly guage the validity of an asking price made the search productive and did not waste time." - Judson Graves, Alexandria VA

|
|
"Rob was great to work with. As a first-time home buyer I was somewhat apprehensive about the process - Rob was particularly attentive to that and made my home buying experience painless. He was always accesible and gave helpful advice. His suggestions and insights while I was choosing a lender were particularly helpful. As I approached the closing, there were several times when Rob skillfully negotiated terms of the contract to ensure the seller fulfilled their side of the deal." Buyer
|
|
|
"Although this was our first home purchase, we can tell from comparing notes with all of our friends that Rob is a top notch realtor. He represented us aggressively yet handled us gingerly. He was as hands off as he could be when he needed to be, and then seemingly intuitive in the way that he'd come to understand our concerns needs. The best part was when our transaction got very complicated, he worked hard to get all the parties involved on the ball and communicating with each other. And after all this, we feel that he wound up saving a whole lot of money. I can't imagine having found a better realtor. Cheers to Rob!" - Buyer

"I just wanted to expand a bit on our assessment of Rob Carter's service. We did give him an excellent review in the evaluation survey we were sent the other day, but I don't feel our comments adequately conveyed our experience working with Rob.
In my experiences dealing with realtors in my life so far, (three buying agents and two selling agents) Rob has been BY FAR the most helpful agent I've ever dealt with. He went out of his way to help us understand the markets we were looking in. He asked a lot of clarification questions to get a handle on what our needs and desires were and to put them in perspective relative to what we were finding. He relied upon support resources when they were needed, such as calling upon a contractor to look over a house with us to assess the cost of needed repairs before making an offer. He even came to our house one Saturday afternoon (when he could have been out showing homes to other clients) to review the many GFEs I got from mortgage lenders to help us understand the fees and other costs of the various loan options. And throughout, he never pushed his advice on us or offered inappropriate or unprofessional commentary, yet he was attentive enough to see when guidance was needed. Though ZipRealty is set up to let us do our own research, Rob was consistently there as both our administrative assistant and strategic advisor. I don't know if this is simply what is expected of agents by the real estate industry or Ziprealty specifically. But I can say that Rob was our most valuable resource and I could not imagine having accomplished our goals such as we did with any other agent I've ever dealt with. And for that we are extremely grateful to him." - D. G.

"Rob was easily the most responsive realtor I've dealt with recently. He was never far from his cell phone, and always responded to emails and voicemails...even when he went on vacation. The closing was immediately after his return from vacation, and it went off without a hitch. Bravo!" - Troy Prinkey

"Rob Carter was profoundly professional, helpful, personable, and knowledgeable throughout our experience with ZipRealty. He truly put our interests first, and helped us get exactly what we wanted out of our real estate transaction. We definitely will use Rob Carter again in the future, and I recommend him to everyone I know who is looking to buy or sell a home!" -- Nathan and Lindsay Borst, Alexandria, VA

"Rob was completely patient with the complexity that was my home buying experience. He assisted me with various options and was attuned very early on to my home interests and preferences. I always felt he was on my side throughout the entire process." - Giovanni Gutierrez

"Rob Carter was a fantastic agent. At no time during the housing buying procedure did my wife and I feel pressured to buy any particular house. We used ZipRealty's website to find the properties we were interested in and contacted Rob to arrange dates to see those properties. Rob was thorough with every property we went through, pointing out a lot of issues that we would not have noticed on our own. He answered all of our questions and was available for consultation on every step of the process. Because my wife and I were first time home buyers, we greatly appreciated Rob's guidance through this process, and in the end were confident we chose the right agent. I will recommend Rob to all of my friends, family, and colleagues. He is a true professional, and ZipRealty should be thankful to have him as a representative." - Buyer

"I would like to say that there used to be a slogan that came to mind when thinking about Rob, which is 'Sit Back and Leave The Driving To Us'. Rob Carter was a wonderful agent that took care of so much of this sale. He really came through in such a relative, sharp, intelligent, positive manner. He went beyond the call of duty. He really worked everything out. He really works hard in perfecting his professional craft in providing EXCELLENT customer service. I could sleep at night because of his excellent service. I believe he should get an award for all his diligent service. He will reach wonderful goals in this field. Plus, he is a nice and kind person. I thank Rob Carter for all his has done. I know he is one of your best representative of ZipRealty. Thanks!" - Deborah Price

"We are first time homebuyers and the whole process was new to us. Rob explained each process clearly and patiently. He always responded to every questions quickly. I felt he always available for us. When he wasn't he would let us know. (ex: vacations, appointments scheduled) He is very knowledgeable and if he didn't know an answer he would immediately find out the answer for us. He also never once pressured us into making any decisions. He always provided us with the facts and allowed us to decide at our own pace. We really appreciated that. It allowed us to move at our own speed. We will definitely refer Rob Carter to any of our family and friends that plan on purchasing a home. " - Buyer

"Rob was very helpful throughout the process. This is our first time to buy a house and Rob was very patient with us as we littered his inbox with questions. He was always quick and professional in his response. We are lucky to have found Rob and we would definitely recommend him to friends. " - Robert Mileff
