Sylvia Montalvo

I met Sylvia Montalvo about a year and a half ago through Prudential PenFed Realty. She is a wonderful Realtor for a number of reasons. She is extremely personable and very knowledgeable of every aspect of real estate. She is fair, honest, and practical. Above all, she is one of the most trustworthy individuals I have ever had the pleasure of meeting, and that is exactly what everyone should look for in a Realtor.

I have worked in an office with many real estate agents. Sylvia stands out amoung them all. She is honest and hard working. She will always do what is best for her clients. I have and will always choose Sylvia to handle all my real estate transactions. She is the best!

Sylvia worked with my wife and I for about 10 months to find the perfect deal for us back in 2008. She has a wonderful personality and a personal service attitude that is so awesome. She has become a personal friend through our real estate dealings and I would not use another agent in Virginia. I didn't think we would be able to find a property that met our needs at a price we could afford but Sylvia kept on working with my wife until they found several properties that would work and eventually we bought one. The thing that impressed me the most about Sylvia is her personal service, she always returns calls and no question goes unanswered. I would tell anyone ( and I have told several friends ) give Sylvia Montalvo a call, She is wonderful and will happily help you out.

I am very pleased to recommend Sylvia Montalvo of Prudential Penfed Realty. In the last year Sylvia helped us find and buy a new home , and sell our existing home. Sylvia is extremely professional, knowledgeable, helpful and friendly - a true pleasure to work with. She brings a wealth of real estate knowlege and always provides valuable advice and guidance. Most important to us, she is always available and extremely responsive. She NEVER drops the ball and is persistently follows through with all parties in the transaction. Finally, she has a rich portfolio of excellent referrals for services you will need throughout the process. Good Luck!

We worked with Sylvia for over a year, she was very patient with our wants and desires. She worked hard at not wasting our time and her time. We picked Sylvia because of her German background. Having lived in Germany we were familiar with Germans attention to detail. Sylvia upheld that standard on many occasions. Her years of experience as a Realtor helped us to look at specifics within houses and not just the showmanship of the house. She protected us as a buyers agent. We would HIGHLY recommend her and if the opportunity presents itself, we will use her again.

You would be smart to have Sylvia Montalvo on your team if you are thinking of buying or selling a home. We moved a lot in all of our years in the military and I never, never met anyone with such a broad range of expertise. She is up-to-date in all the facets of the real estate market. Besides that, she has a wonderful, warm personality which puts even the most nervous home buyer or seller at ease. I would not hesitate to recommend Sylvia to anyone. She will exceed your expectations.

I have known Sylvia Montalvo for 12 years in which time she has proven herself to be a hardworking, professional and ethical individual. She worked tirelessly to find us the house we could really love. She showed us many houses and it was obvious that she had done her homework before she showed them. Sylvia's financial expertise and attention to detail were certainly a welcome change in the whirlwind of the real estate world. Her engaging personality and enthusiasm made house hunting all the more enjoyable. We listed our previous house with Sylvia and it was under contract in 4 days. I would recommend Sylvia to anyone who needed an agent they could depend on to find them the perfect place to live. She has the highest of standards and although she had many clients, she always gave us her undivided attention.

I met Sylvia after having a not so great experience with 2 other agents. At the beginning I was skeptical, however once I met my views changed quickly. She was a true professional throughout the process, a great listener , easily accessible, responded quickly to my questions/concerns and knows the real estate market very well.
Furthermore, I never felt pressured into buying, and she regularly assisted me on all the necessary steps in completing the transaction. I would not hesitate to recommend Sylvia to any of my friends who might need a Realtor and will absolutely work with her again in the future.

When it comes to real estate agents, Sylvia is second to none. She helped my wife and I buy our first home. Although we didn't know exactly what we wanted or what questions to ask, Sylvia guided us through the process an we couldn't be happier with our first home. A few years later when we were starting a family and needed a bigger home, we again looked to Sylvia who helped us sell our current home and purchase the new one.

I've had the pleasure of knowing Sylvia and having her as my agent for four years. I won't go to anyone else because of two things I love about Sylvia. First, her advice can be trusted. I can't think of a single instance where her advice didn't end up being spot on. Second, she's always available; your schedule is her schedule. I don't think people come much more demanding than me, and Sylvia was always able to get me what I needed, and it never seemed to be a bother to her.

I will use Sylvia again; I've referred her to friends and family; and I would encourage others to take advantage of her talent.

Sylvia is amazing!!! She's more than a Realtor. She's a partner/advocate for you. She spent many weeks (months?) scouting out and finding a perfect townhome/condo for me. She understood what I was looking for, and steered me to the kind of place that was right for me -- even if it was more modest than other townhomes she could have pushed that would have given her more of a commission. Once we found the 'just right' place, she gave me the kind of guidance to help put together a winning bid over more than 10 other bidders on the first day the seller took offers. (Yes, the location is highly sought, so there actually are highly competitive bids here.) Anyway, she remained my home-buying partner/advocate right through the excruciating loan-approval process (even someone with perfect credit and a high score will get inexplicably raked through the coals by the loan companies). But she kept me sane throughout, and even gave a nice surprise gift for me that was waiting on the day I walked into my new home. Sylvia is a great professional, a wonderful person and a total class act.

Sylvia helped us sold our home and buy a home! She was very knowledgeable, caring, and guided us through the whole process. She was always there when we needed her and ensured that the process went smoothly for us. I HIGHLY recommend Sylvia and completely trust her when buying/selling our homes.

Sylvia has been an excellent real estate agent. She was very accommodating and always willing to work with my schedule to view houses. She is very knowledgeable about the area. I really enjoy working with her as my realtor and will recommend her to other friends needing a realtor.
