Testimonials

Marsha Schuman and Betsy Schuman Dodek were a tremendous resource and advocate for our family during the home buying process. Although we have resided in the DC metro area for decades, our familiarity with neighborhoods in Montgomery County, Potomac and Bethesda specifically, was limited. Browsing for houses online provided us with a snapshot of the available inventory but did not begin to provide us with a strong feel for the communities we were considering. By taking the time to understand our preferences, constraints, and timeline, Marsha and Betsy were able to provide us with essential advice which we used to refine our search parameters and expectations. This saved us a tremendous amount of time, energy, and disappointment.

Marsha Schuman and Betsy Schuman Dodek were a tremendous resource and advocate for our family during the home buying process. Although we have resided in the DC metro area for decades, our familiarity with neighborhoods in Montgomery County, Potomac and Bethesda specifically, was limited. Browsing for houses online provided us with a snapshot of the available inventory but did not begin to provide us with a strong feel for the communities we were considering. By taking the time to understand our preferences, constraints, and timeline, Marsha and Betsy were able to provide us with essential advice which we used to refine our search parameters and expectations. This saved us a tremendous amount of time, energy, and disappointment. Leveraging their network of relationships with other agents, inspectors, and financing professionals, Marsha and Betsy were able to facilitate preview showings, pre-inspections, and offers within the short timeframe the market demanded. Their patience and energy are limitless. There was not one home on which we wanted to bid, that we were not able to inspect and offer within the deadline provided. It felt wonderful to be able to present a “risk-free” bid under tight deadlines! After the closing, Marsha and Betsy continued to provide us with access to their network of professionals for all areas of home improvement and maintenance. They truly offer a best-in-class home buying experience. Thank you, Marsha and Betsy, for your tireless efforts in helping us find our current dream home. We will certainly be in touch as the dream evolves.

Betsy is an incredibly talented agent who helped me find an incredible home for me and my children after my divorce. I can’t thank her enough for the excellent job she did in the tight, competitive market in Bethesda. Working together over a one-year period, Betsy exhibited a tremendous amount of doggedness and patience in helping me find just the right home for me and my kids. She truly got to know me, my lifestyle, my budget and my preferences, and helped me analyze all the factors to make smart, informed decisions along the way. She and I joked that I was looking for a “unicorn” of a home because I was fairly picky, and what I wanted just didn’t exist in my price range and preferred location. With prices what they were, I got pretty discouraged, but Betsy kept up my hopes. One of Betsy’s greatest assets is her significant network of contacts which she utilized to find the perfect off-…

Betsy is an incredibly talented agent who helped me find an incredible home for me and my children after my divorce. I can’t thank her enough for the excellent job she did in the tight, competitive market in Bethesda. Working together over a one-year period, Betsy exhibited a tremendous amount of doggedness and patience in helping me find just the right home for me and my kids. She truly got to know me, my lifestyle, my budget and my preferences, and helped me analyze all the factors to make smart, informed decisions along the way. She and I joked that I was looking for a “unicorn” of a home because I was fairly picky, and what I wanted just didn’t exist in my price range and preferred location. With prices what they were, I got pretty discouraged, but Betsy kept up my hopes. One of Betsy’s greatest assets is her significant network of contacts which she utilized to find the perfect off-market property for us - a six year old beautiful custom home in a part of Bethesda I hadn’t considered before. She found us that “unicorn” and we love our new house and our new neighborhood! I would most certainly recommend Betsy to anyone looking for a kind, smart, determined and well-connected agent. She was responsive, informed, proactive and a strong negotiator. I would definitely use her again. Thank you, Betsy for finding us such a wonderful home!
