Testimonials
There are many things I can say about the high quality of service I provide to my home seller and home buyer clients, but probably none would be as credible as testimonials from some of my recent clients themselves.
So please take a moment to read the following testimonials. I hope they indicate my experience and integrity, as well as make it clear how much I enjoy helping people with their real estate needs.
I would be happy to email you additional testimonials if you are interested.
"When we were looking for a home it was a very frustrating process at first. We couldn't seem to find anything we could afford and everything we could afford was not to our liking.
Natalie took the frustration away and was patient with us. She sent us a number of listings to review by email first (with pictures) until we found our dream property! Thank you Natalie for expert advise and assistance. We could never have bought a home without you."

"I first met Natalie through my fiancé, now husband. Our initial meeting was very informal yet professional as she attempted to learn what our needs were with respect to our home. See, we were also making wedding preparations at the same time. Natalie was very understanding and suggested that we focus on the home buying process first instead of trying to take care of both projects at the same time, less stressful. We agreed, and to the benefit of everyone involved it was smooth sailing from then on. Natalie was determined to find our home, given the options we were looking for, and to do so as quickly as possible. The hunt was on, and Natalie made herself available at any hour to assist us. Her professionalism, knowledge, diligence, and concern for us as clients, made the process exciting and enjoyable. I would recommend her services to anyone looking to buy/sell a home. She also successfully sold my then principal residence at the same time and everything went off without a hitch! She was fantastic!"

"I wish to unreservedly recommend Natalie Dean Vinson’s serves as a realtor, When 1 decided to buy my first home in 2003 it was a seller’s market, and like most first time buyers I was rather confused at the choices I faced and the bewildering amount of paperwork I needed to complete. I had a realtor before Natalie who was very abrupt impatient and pushy. Ai a result, I was actually contemplating shelving my home buying dreams when I had the good fortune to be referred to Natalie by one of her satisfied clients. I immediately detected a difference in approach. My current realtor and others I had met claimed that client satisfaction is their top concern. I am happy to say that client satisfaction is Natalie’s only concern. To this end she listened very carefully to my description of what I was looking for, what I did not like, what I was willing to spend and when 1 needed to close on a property. Then, she took all of this information and crafted a personalized plan that had me out of my apartment and in the new home of my dreams in 6 weeks flat! Throughout the entire process she remained responsive, always returning calls, always following through on whatever she promised to do and ensuring that everyone else that was involved in the transaction did the same. She was willing to share her inside knowledge of several DC neighborhoods, the cost of renovations, etc. all of which enabled me to make the best choice. When I began to tire in week 4 she remained enthusiastic and optimistic and refused to allow me to settle on a property that did not meet my original requirements just because I wanted to buy something and end the process. After I moved into my new home, Natalie checked on me regularly during the first couple of weeks to ensure that everything went smoothly. When I ran into problems in having my telephone service connected she was able to refer me to a repairman who handled the problem with facility.
Natalie’s positive attributes are a myriad. She is the consummate professional ... always punctual, pleasant, polite and positive. Her organizational skills are impeccable such that she always had at her fingertips whatever information was needed to move the process along. Natalie is scrupulously honest, and while she had numerous opportunities to cheat me or act in an underhand manner, she never did. I have had the pleasure to refer Natalie to some of my friends and all who have contacted her have been impressed. Home buying is a complex endeavor at best, but with a professional like Natalie involved much of the pain and error is removed and a pleasant and productive experience is guaranteed. Natalie is truly a credit to her profession!"

"It was a pleasure working with Natalie on the sale of our home. Although we sold during a troubled market Natalie was relentless in her efforts to sell our home never wavering in her duty as a realtor. She took care in making sure the situation ended in the best possible way for our family, selling our home! She did a magnificent job."

"I want to express my appreciation to Natalie dean for her tenacity and hard work. Several months ago I was in bankruptcy and facing the foreclosure of my home. A friend recommended Natalie as a real estate agent. She was facing an extremely difficult task of selling my home before it was foreclosed on. Undaunted, Natalie set about contacting mortgage lenders and anyone necessary to first stop the foreclosure, then sell the house. Natalie stopped the foreclosure after much negotiation. Natalie helped negotiate several ratified contracts that for one reason or another did not go to settlement. Finally, one purchaser was approved and Natalie engineered a smooth settlement. I am now out of bankruptcy and living comfortably, thanks to Natalie’s tenacity. Because of her no-nonsense, but pleasant approach to business, I will recommend her to anyone planning to sell or purchase a home. She’s the best!"

"We are so excited over being new homeowners. When the MRE Group came to see us at our home, two months ago, we thought we could only afford to rent a home. We were looking for a beautiful home for our growing family, a place for the children to run and play. We were so surprised and elated to find out not only could we get everything we were looking for in a single-family home but we could afford to PURCHASE it and make it our own!
Natalie and Leslie negotiated for all of our closing cost to be paid by the seller; we even received some additional monies for cosmetics. Thank you MRE Group for making all of our dreams come true! Now we have a place to call home."
The Pratts, Lanham, MD
"We are so glad that we went with the MRE Group to sell our home. We had heard all of the news reports, “the market is terrible and now is not a good time to sale”. However when Natalie came and met with us she assured us that she could find a ready willing and able buyer, put money in our pockets and do so by February 2008. She came through with all of her promises. We were under contract on our property within 35 days and we walked away with more than we bargained for. She kept us informed of the process and took care of all of our needs. When we thought the deal was falling apart, she reassured us that help was on the way and worked with the buyer to find a capable lender to handle the loan. Natalie we appreciate your professionalism, attention to detail, and work ethic. Thank you MRE Group for a job well done!"

"We’re a fairly new couple, married in June 2006, and buying a new home had been part of our long-term plans for the future. But the uncertain economy, coupled with a downturn in the housing market and lending standards sent us mixed signals. We wondered if now, with rapidly dropping home prices, was really the best time to jump into the market. And then we met Natalie Dean, who helped allay our fears, and answered every question about what to expect in this kind of housing market. Her years of experience helped us negotiate effectively in a "buyers market" and she steered us toward properties that could meet our long-term needs. Leslie Vinson, our "money man", helped us navigate a frenetic lending environment, with solid financing that would not change with the whims of the market and programs designed to help responsible, first-time home-buyers get a foot in the market.We’re thankful that we used Metropolitan Real Estate Group to find more than a property - a home that we’ll appreciate for years to come.Thanks!"

"Natalie is a true professional. She is honest, has the utmost integrity and over delivers on her promises. We were extremely happy at the services she provided. We contacted Natalie after we told life-long friends of ours that we were in a market to purchase our first home. Natalie came highly recommended. She immediately made time for us in her schedule to accommodate our needs. She educated us 100% as to recent developments in the mortgage and real estate industry. Giving us clear and concise guidance, her professional advice was correct every time. She was sure to allay our fears and made the process simple and enjoyable. Whether you have loads of cash or just enough for the earnest money Natalie will find you “Your Home of Choice” with the least amount of money out of pocket and in the shortest amount of time. Thank Natalie for a job well done."
