Dave Adams

    • Very quick responses, extremely professional, abundant knowledge, and overall super great to work with. Dave made the process easy and enjoyable and I am very happy in my new home thanks to him.

      - Connor Reguero - Reston, VA
    • Very knowledgeable, conscientious and extremely professional. Dave and Joanne are very personable, well-spoken and articulate, always reinforcing a professional image. I had great confidence in having this Team represent my interests, they are very reliable. Of special note is that we had already moved out of State and had to deal with a remote sale, they always kept me informed and quickly responded to any of my requests, which included responding to an after-hours emergency situation at our house. I highly recommend Dave and JoAnne.

      - Kevin Conlon -Fairfax, VA
    • Dave and JoAnne are fantastic realtors - they worked around my busy schedule and even toured homes on my behalf when I was out of town. They were very patient and took time to explain the process with a first time buyer. I highly recommend them A+++!

      - Tom Lamb - McLean, VA
    • JoAnne and Dave have a wealth of experience and an extensive network of contacts that can assist you with all aspects of preparing a house for sale. They had recommendations for contractors, storage needs, "junk" disposals and movers to name a few. They would provide at least 2 options for my consideration. Their recommendations were competent and reasonably priced vendors. JoAnne and Dave were always early for appointments and responsive by text, email and phone whenever I had a question, concern or problem. They are very observant and on several occasions pointed out potential issues that I did not recognize. Their entire purpose is to consistently represent you honestly and completely - you never feel like they are "fitting you in their schedule" instead you have their complete attention. They are also when necessary an advocate for you.

      - Regina Benjamim- Fairfax, VA
    • Dave and Joanne recently helped my wife and I sell a home. The transaction was very smooth and we never had a concern. They diligently handled all aspects of the process from showings to contract negotiations, inspections through to settlement. It was such a pleasure working with them. Very professional and thorough. Their response time to questions or concerns is almost immediate. I highly recommend them to anyone buying or selling property. They are the best!!

      - Mark Sweeney - Ashburn, VA
    • Dave and JoAnne Adams provided great care, patience and service by finding a home for our family to purchase in a tight housing market. He also supplied a finance contact that was equally professional and competent in assisting us throughout the loan process. I definitely would use The Adams Group again but the question is...would they work with me again????

      - Dennis Askins - Springfield, VA
    • Dave and JoAnne were recommended to us, and we recommend them to everyone interested in selling or buying a home. Their knowledge of the market, professionalism, and incredible response time made the process stress free. They were a joy to work with and you should feel confident putting this process in their hands.

      - Denise Mach - Herndon, VA
    • Dave and Joanne were wonderful in handling the recent sale of a property we owned in VA. We currently live in NC.Concerned about the long-distance relationship, but not with these two professionals. They listed, advertised and sold our unit in 2 days. Then they went on to continue making the selling process again seamlessly. They handled the contract information, settlement information and closing without a hitch. We will definitely use their services again. They are the epitome of what a realtor should aspire to be....knowledgeable, trustworthy and truly concerned about their client.

      - Tish Schwartz - Arlington, VA
    • Dave and JoAnne were outstanding to work with. Our house had an offer within 48hrs of being list and over the asking price. They were able to answer any and all question that my wife and I had. Very professional and would recommend them to anyone.

      - Brian Pessink - Stafford, VA
    • Their customer service and knowledge were excellent. They were very accessible. We found a house I wanted and made an offer the next day. Everything moved like clockwork - securing a loan, inspection and closing. I couldn't be happier. I would recommend Dave and JoAnne Adams to anyone looking to buy a home.

      - Elizabeth Gundorf - Gainesville, VA
    • Dave and JoAnne were very helpful throughout the entire home selling / buying process. I highly recommend them for their experience and responsiveness.

      - Kayla Sailer - Herndon/Falls Church, VA
    • Dave and Joanne were so easy to work with as well as being exceptionally knowledgeable with the local market. They guided us through every detail of the process - including how to get this done in a Pandemic!!!! Not a single detail was overlooked in the listing and marketing of the property and the location. Our home went on the market as soon as it was ready and sold in 4 days for more than we were asking. They guided us through the negotiation process and closing while we were already in our new city. We received updates on the status within minutes of any progress or obstacle. They worked with our cluster HOA as well as Reston Association to clear a few hurdles with ease. We would encourage anyone thinking of selling, buying or renting to strongly consider the Dave and Joanne Adams team.

      - Mike McCarthy - Reston, VA
    • Dave and JoAnne, helped us buy our dream home under interesting circumstances and sell our previous home in record time. They are amazing to work with, extremely responsive and they always have the best interest of you the customer in mind.Hoping not to move again for a very long time, but if that day were to come unexpectedly they would be the first people we call!!

      - Lorna Drennen - Sterling/Ashburn, VA
    • Dave and JoAnne, You truly made our home search a breeze, despite the many challenges and unusual home market nuances in VA, you made the process seamless. We are glad to have met you and have you as our house hunting resource. Your friendly and approachable personality made it easier for us to have our manny questions answered. Also, every individual you referred us to, from the lender to the sprinkler system expert, provided an outstanding customer service, a testament to the quality of work and relationships you both have.Thank you again very much for getting us tho the finish line.

      - Alex and Tiffany Ulloa - Chantilly, VA
    • Dave and JoAnne spent months helping me and my family find a house in the NOVA area. We viewed dozens of homes, put in 8 offers, and had to negotiate back and forth endless times with sellers and other realtors. Through it all, they were the most patient and diligent people I have ever worked with. Not once did they seem discouraged and they kept us going through an arduous and difficult process. I would recommend them to ANYONE looking to buy a home in this area!

      - Jeremy Clark - Clifton, VA
    • House hunting from out of state can be daunting and even uncomfortable but Dave and JoAnne made it easy and seamless. From FaceTiming showings to negotiating on our behalf, they made the home buying experience easy and stress free. We always felt like we were their priority and they were always willing to do what it took to ensure we were taken care of. We purchased our dream home and we couldnt have done it without them!

      - Reed MacKenzie - Great Falls, VA
    • We were executors of an estate that included a house in Reston that we needed to sell. It was built in 1984 and had very little done to it aside from maintenance items including a new roof, windows and heat pump. We were also on a fairly long timeline, vacating the house in the fall when we contacted them in February. They were simply awesome. They told us what we needed to do to make the house attractive for selling without doing more than needed. They kept in touch as fall approached. And then Dave found us a buyer before the house even went on the market. He negotiated a price above assessed value that permitted us to basically sell it "as is." He was with us every step of the way, open and honest at every turn, present at the inspections, and helping us navigate the draconian Reston Association requirements. It was a pleasure working with him.

      - Ken Bradford - Reston, VA
    • Incredibly helpful and knowledgeable of the area. Made the experience for a first-time home buyer relatively painless and simple. Dave and JoAnne steered us towards experts with remarkable depths of experience and integrity who shepherded us through the process with patience. Not only did their knowledge of the Reston area assist my wife and me to find a home, but they took the time to learn about us to better match us with a property we would love.

      - Braden Stone - Reston, VA
    • My husband & I were 1st-time home buyers. Dave & JoAnne Adams helped us navigate through the home buying process. They were always available to take our calls, emails and answering any questions that we had. You can tell that they have a passion for what they do and truly enjoy helping people find their perfect home! We would highly recommend them!

      - Sheri Hall - Springfield, VA
    • Dave and JoAnne Adams are truly a DreamTeam. From the first phone call to schedule an appointment to meet, to signing of closing documents, Dave and JoAnne were there. Their initial presentation was thorough and professional with every detail covered. They communicated with me throughout the entire selling process from listing the house to closing. I couldnt give a higher recommendation to anyone looking for agents.

      - Elizabeth Barone - Sterling, VA
    • Dave and JoAnne handled our search during the Pandemic with outstanding attention to all the features we wanted in our house. The experience certainly helped us get to know Reston, Fairfax and Herndon and taught us a lot about how to buy in a competitive market.They knew how to help the closing take place in a timely manner, and expedited the process as we bought our home from a relocation company.We recommend them highly!

      - Janet Silverberg - Herndon, VA
    • Dave and JoAnne were such a blessing to our family as we looked remotely for housing for our daughter who will be attending Graduate school. They took the time to listen to our concerns and needs. Dave was very responsive to our questions and took the time to research properties that would meet our needs and budget, and even showed us properties via Face time. JoAnne facilitated in the background but was willing to add a personal touch and provide opinions on properties from a "mother's perspective" that made us feel like family and helped us find a safe place for our daughter. They made us feel like they were truly looking out for us, not just trying to make a sell. We would highly recommend their services.

      - Dr Don McNeel - Arlington, VA
    • We were in the process of moving from California to Virginia for a career relocation. Due to the pandemic, we were unable to travel and search for a new home in-person. We were introduced to Dave and Joanne Adams. We chose to work with them because of the expertise in the McLean/ Great Falls/ Oakton area.Both Dave and JoAnne were reliable and took the time to understand our needs from the very first open house. They were transparent and made us feel comfortable by answering all of our questions throughout the entire home buying process. They were very knowledgeable about the local market. They went above & beyond after purchasing our house, the following day we had some water come into the basement from the tropical storm. He was over bright and early with a wet vac to suck the water up and make sure we had a team come out to fix the drainage issue on the basement walkout.Dave & JoAnne were able to provide a list of recommended services (lawn care, cleaners, designers, etc.) that facilitated our transition to the east coast. We had a great experience working with Dave and JoAnne Adams and would definitely recommend working with them!

      - Paul Jogopolus - Mclean, VA
    • Dave and JoAnne were fantastic to work with! This is the second time we've used them for real estate services and we could not wait to get to work with them on both selling and purchasing our new home.

      - Steve Hand - Reston, VA
    • From my initial interaction with Dave and JoAnne to the sale of my home (and beyond) they were very responsive. They are both true professionals who know all aspects of the market. After just a few days, we received multiple offers and during the negotiations I always felt that they had my best interest in mind. I recommend Dave and JoAnne to anyone looking for not just a real estate agent but a partner in the home buying/selling process.

      - Judy Picarelli - Oakton, Va
    • Dave and JoAnne came highly recommended and after working with them I understand why. They have a comprehensive knowledge of the area and have years of experience. They were able to direct our search when we were in the early stages of house hunting but they are never pushy. They provided advice based on their experience in the market but always left the decisions up to us. They were also very respectful when we put our search on hold for several months, they continued to stay in contact and keep us up to date on market changes. When we did pick up the hunt again we changed our minds on location and they were quick to adapt and find new properties. Every location they were thorough and looked at everything from the HVAC and water heater to how the electrical is set up. Eventually when we found the house we wanted they guided us through how to submit an offer and how to make the most competitive offer. We ended up with the perfect home and I credit Dave and JoAnne with making them happen. You wont find a better agent duo in the area, I can't recommend them enough.

      - Nick Styles - Leesburg, VA
    • Dave and JoAnne where phenomenal for both transactions. Fast to respond and proactive but never pushy. They are a seasoned professional team who have the foresight to take corrective action before a problem is able to develop. Not one surprise in either transaction, no wasted time and no drama. I appreciate professionals who tell you what you need to hear and not what you want to hear and do so in a tactful manner. Closed in two weeks, start to finish! I will be calling on them in the future.

      - George Thomas - Great Falls, VA
    • Selling a house and buying a new house is not an easy process but Dave and Joanne have surpassed my expectations. They are extremely professional, responsive and they put their heart into this process.They made sure we found our "true home" more than a house!Their negotiation skills are 5 stars. They made sure to make the transaction as smooth as possible, going over rigorously every details and numbers so all is taking care before Closing.But mostly what I found, beyond their realtors job, is their passion about what they do to help people, and they treated us like family more than clients and looked at our best interest in every way possible. This alone is priceless!

    • Dave and JoAnne did a masterful job of selling our home. They exceeded our high expectations. We are very busy people and had a lot going on in our lives and they coached us through the process from start to finish. They helped us sell a house in a lukewarm market. They spent a lot of time helping us prepare our home for sale, giving us useful suggestions about how to make our home more appealing to buyers. They helped arrange contractors and even met several at the house when we could not be there. They pulled together comprehensive data and market intelligence that allowed us to price the house appropriately. Dave and JoAnne did a particularly good job of helping us negotiate with the eventual buyers and arrive at contract terms that were acceptable to both parties. Throughout the entire process, we felt Dave and JoAnne were honest and ethical and always had our best interests at heart. We would strongly recommend them to friends who are putting their home on the market.

      - Karen Miller - Oakton, VA
    • Dave & JoAnne Adams are an EXCELLENT choice of Agents to meet your real estate needs. They are both highly seasoned Agents who will guide you through the entire process. We were particularly impressed with their follow up skills, people skills, & going the extra mile to take care of any & all issues as we were 800 miles away. It was truly as if we had a "friend in the business".We would highly recommend their services & are 100% confident they were the best choice we could have made. They are the type of trustworthy people who not only become your Agent, but also become lifelong friends.

      - Greg Davis - Oakton, VA
    • I work with Dave and JoAnne as a Settlement Agent. In my capacity, I see all of the interworking's of the transaction, and get up-close and personal with buyers and sellers. I am amazed at the level of customer care and customer service both Dave and Joanne extend to their clients. They truly seem to love what they do and care about their client's complete satisfaction related to the sale or purchase of their home. I highly recommend using these folks; you wont be sorry!

      - Heather Wreath - Reston, VA
    • Dave and JoAnne were absolutely fantastic! My wife and I and our two kids relocated from overseas and as such had a difficult time understanding the market and had a hard time communicating due to timezones. Dave and JoAnna made themselves available whenever we needed and displayed in depth knowledge of the area. Within 24 hours they had an analysis of available homes based on our criteria and recommended the house we selected! This is especially remarkable for my wife and I we looked at over 20 houses while in town with another realtor and finally called it quits because we were so frustrated. For Dave and JoAnna to come to the rescue and find us a house so quickly was amazing. Additionally since we did not know the area they were so helpful in providing info for places to go for everything from security alarms to doctors offices! We strongly recommend Dave and Joanna to help families in the Reston/Herndon area. Finally a special thank you for their support for veterans!

      - Ed West - Herndon, VA
    • Dave and JoAnne came highly recommended when we were looking for a real estate agent to sell our home in Burke. We had been building a new home in Texas and we're trying to manage the construction progress for our new home as well as the preparation of our Virginia home for selling. The Adams group provided outstanding recommendations for service providers when we were looking for carpet replacement and painting and general repairs. They did a phenomenal job of preparing to market our home before we actually listed it for sale. Their recommendation for listing price was spot on in a very competitive market for larger home in the Burke area. After listing, our house was on the market for 18 days, we had two great offers, and we closed on the sale in three weeks. We couldn't have planned any better! Dave and JoAnne were delightful to work with every step of the way. The were extremely responsive to our questions, made well supported recommendations, and were just a pleasure to work with!

      - Kevin Apel - Burke, VA
    • Dave and JoAnne Adams are an outstanding Team and we highly recommend them. They carefully listened to our needs, and worked quickly to identify potential properties in our price range and that met our requirements. They double-checked and validated the Listing data before taking us to see the properties, ensuring efficient use of our time. In less than 2 weeks, we identified the right property, and they skillfully advised/helped us on the offer process and potential risks. They negotiated several special requests with the Seller's Agent, and in all cases our small but important-to-us requests were met. Dave and JoAnne could not have been nicer and more attentive during the whole process, and even anticipated some roofing questions we had by calling in experts they had previously worked with to address the questions. We highly recommend Dave and JoAnne -- they are true experts, and the nicest folks we've ever met in the Real Estate business. Please call them first for your Real Estate needs -- you won't be disappointed!

      - JP Hetrick - Gainesville, VA
    • hen my husband and I first engaged the Realty Group of Dave and JoAnne Adams of Coldwell Banker, we immediately learned how much professionalism and passion they bring to their jobs. This passion is why they are so successful at what they do. And, they do it all! Just about four years ago, we had the good fortune to have JoAnne represent us when we purchased our present residence. This was such a positive experience that we, once again, sought their counsel.This time we had Dave and JoAnne guiding and steering a very complicated sale and purchase of rental property known as a 1031 Exchange. As our trusted advocates, during each phase of this nail biting process, they displayed their vast knowledge of real estate practices and management skills which were truly put to the test. When two stressful and unforeseen problems arose, Dave and JoAnne were ever present to champion our cause. They called upon their long list of capable artisans along with a network of experts available through Coldwell Banker. We particularly wish to acknowledge Heather Wreath of Mid-Atlantic Settlement Services and Ronald Tinschert, PHH Home Loans, LLC. Both were outstanding in their advice and assistance. Nor can we forget Jan Thompson, home Inspector and Carlos Angulo contractor, all part of the Adams Group who knew their jobs and performed them all well. Here, Dave and JoAnne demonstrated their commitment and aptitude for problem solving and coordination. Also, no matter what time of day or how often we called, they were always available. No question was too silly or unwarranted to dismiss or fail to fully explain. Not only were they committed to us as clients, Dave and JoAnne inherently understood our goals and always went beyond our expectations to achieve them. During this entire procedure, we were often on the receiving end of their many acts of kindness and generosity of spirit. My husband and I are in our eighties and do not get around as easily as in the past. When papers were to be signed and explained, and there were many, Dave and JoAnne simply hand carried them to us. This was also true of Ms. Wreath and Mr. Tinschert. Dave and JoAnne's advice was always sound, their support and follow-up unrelenting. They converted daunting problems into simple solutions and their sense of humor throughout always carried the day.We are writing this recommendation because we wish you to know how pleased and grateful we are, once again, to have had the full services of the Adams Group through the auspices of Coldwell Banker. We will be forever in their debt.

      - Charlene Comtois - Fairfax, VA
    • We had a very positive, successful experience with Dave and JoAnne looking for our first house. We are a first time buyer and being military transitioning to retirement we needed someone with a lot of patients. We were able to email, call or text anytime with questions. They were very knowledgeable and helpful during the whole process.

      - Brian Mann - Stafford, VA
    • Dave and JoAnne helped me sell my old house and purchase a new one. They were very knowledgable and easy to work with. My old house was almost 40 years old and needed some work, they recommended competent and affordable contractors to get it all done in a timely manner (including same day service for the HVAC maintenance). The roofer and the handyman service they recommended were also excellent. They both went above-and-beyond when they helped to finish clearing out my old place and took remaining trash to the dump after I became unable to physically continue (note: if you are over 50, don't try to move out of a 4 bedroom house by yourself! :). They performed equally well with the (fortunately) much less eventful purchase of my new home. I highly recommend them!

      - Keith Andreano - Herndon/Ashburn, VA
    • Dave was such an amazing agent and he took a huge load off the stress of moving. He was super fast with responses and on top of everything from showing the apartment, getting the application to me, getting me in touch with the landlord, to signing the lease, all done within days. He also stayed with me as I settled in to make sure I had the right keys and he introduced me to management and other staff. As a single woman, I really did find that helpful. I never had a smoother move. Thank you!!

      - Anne Chenaphun - Arlington, VA
    • Our experience with Dave and JoAnne went beyond five stars. We were relocating across the country and couldnt have been luckier to have had the opportunity to have them as our Realtors. Having both Dave and JoAnne felt like you had a team working with you every step of the way. While one might be answering a question or helping us with one item, the other was working to be two steps ahead of us. They were both professional, honest, straight forward, and most importantly sincere. From our first meeting we felt comfortable with them and truly valued their opinions. This was critical because we only had a set amount of time to find the house and then had to do a large portion virtually while we finished our relocation. Overall it could not have gone better, we highly recommend them, and thank them for making it a fun experience!

      - Kyle Kurtyka - Aldie, VA
    • Dave and JoAnne Adams are everything you could hope for in real estate agents. They are kind, patient, attentive to details, always in your corner, and most of all, just fun to work with. We had an excellent experience buying our first home with Dave and JoAnne. As first time home buyers, we had lots of questions and Dave and JoAnne answered all of them without ever making us feel silly. They helped us with every aspect of the home buying process, from finding a house and putting in an offer to finding financing and a home inspector. Once we closed, Dave and JoAnne didn't disappear. They checked in with us to ensure we were settling in ok and even provided recommendations for contractors to help us make our house our own. We are so grateful that we got to work with Dave and JoAnne, and would 100% work with them again.

      - Tim Hennelly - Reston, VA
    • My husband I just recently purchased a home in Centreville, Virginia through Dave and JoAnne Adams. We had a very short timeline to search for houses, and Dave and JoAnne maximized our time while there to find us the perfect home. They were professional and very easy to work with making our move east, seamless. I recommend them to anyone who is looking for a new home in the Virginia area.

      - Jessica Scott - Centerville, VA
    • Dave and Joanne were very helpful through the whole process of selling our home and buying a new home. They are very responsive and provide the information needed during the process in a timely manner. They handled all the details behind the process and provided insight to help us make decisions throughout the entire process. Best of all we had four offers on our home before it even went on the MLS. They really know how to market a home.

      - Kate Cote - Oakton, VA
    • My family and I worked with Dave and JoAnne when relocating to VA from the West Coast. From the get-go Dave and JoAnne were responsive, attentive to our needs, and consummate professionals. They made it clear to us that they weren't just interested in getting us into any home, but in finding us the right home that would bring us enjoyment for many years. They stood by us through the many ups and downs of a very difficult market for buyers in North VA. It took much longer than we anticipated to find the right home, but Dave and JoAnne never wavered in providing their support and advice. And now that we have the keys to our house, they made sure to let us know that our relationship has not come to an end: They have been instrumental in helping us find a contractor to have work done in our new home, and are helping us to find other service providers in the area. I highly recommend Dave and JoAnne Adams to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Northern VA!
