Most amazing experience working with them. Truly took my wants and found me the perfect home. Made everything so stress free and easy! Best experience I’ve had yet.

Being three time repeat clients is certainly a testament to Martine and Alexander’s results - but there’s so much more to share about our experience! We first met our favorite mother/son duo as new residents to Old Town, in search of a row home that could accommodate the baby we were expecting in a few months. Their intimate knowledge of the Parker Grey quickly assured us we were in good hands. They were straightforward and transparent through the whole process, and continued to be a source of friendship and knowledge throughout our time as residents in the neighborhood. When we decided to make a move in search of more space, they were hand in hand with us as we scoped out new neighborhoods. We landed on what was to be the long term home in the Monticello Park neighborhood, and were guided through an easy buying and selling experience. After an unexpected career move had us packing up to move to Colorado, Martine and Alexander were quickly at our side to turn a stressful cross country move into a ‘best case scenario’. In all three moves, Martine and Alexander quickly identified what we needed to make the interaction successful and made it happen. We truly value their partnership and friendship and wish they’d love to Colorado with us!

The Irmer Group has been nothing short of amazing in helping us find our dream home! From the very beginning, Alex was patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to go the extra mile during home tours. Martine was just as incredible—organized, supportive, and truly invested in making this process smooth for us. The entire journey was seamless; we were always kept informed, involved, and confident every step of the way.

Now, as proud and happy new homeowners, we couldn’t be more grateful for the guidance and care we received. Thank you to The Irmer Group for making our dream a reality!

Martine and Alex are the best! Whether you're selling in town or the country, or looking for a perfect home, The Irmer Group is the last realtor you'll ever choose. The treat their clients like family. And unlike most realtors, who take days to back to your questions, Martine and Alex stay in constant communication. Our last house sold in less than a week and, a month later, all the other houses are still just sitting on the market and lowering prices. Can't recommend Martine and Alex enough!

This Team is very professional, on point, resourceful and extremely knowledgeable of the market. They made great recommendations and were able to get repairs done through their network timely, efficiently, and conveniently: removing stress from the process for me. The recommended contractors were professional licensed and thorough. I was able to entertain offers and identified a buyer in 3-4 days. The Team is about business (result oriented), but it's like working with old friends. I wish I had more properties to sell-I would use them every time!!!!

Alex and Martine helped me get my home prepared to sell and navigate several challenges while I was in the middle of a cross country move. Thanks to the Irmer Group

Martine and Alex were great and we could not have asked for any better. They were both patient with us throughout our home buying process and spent months looking at houses to make sure that we were getting the right house for us. Not only was there no pressure from them throughout looking, they made sure that at no point we were going to settle for something less than we wanted and worked extra to find us the perfect house. We would recommend to anyone and will definitely use them for a future home purchase.

The absolute best agents a buyer or seller could ask for! We have worked with Alex and Martine when we bought our first house and again when selling the house. The professionalism is unmatched.

When we returned to Old Town Alexandria after a 4-year tour in Texas, we needed a savvy real estate agent to help us navigate the changing neighborhoods. We were lucky to be referred to not one but two! Martine and Alex were terrific to work with, bringing unique strengths to the Irmer Group. Martine knows the neighborhoods, homes, and builders like none other--her knowledge is vast and deep. Alex quickly assesses the house's functional aspects--the HVAC system, plumbing, electrical, and roof--and can point to strengths and weaknesses. Together, they provided unparalleled guidance and support as we searched for our new home. Once we purchased our house, we knew we could reach out to Martine and Alex with questions, such as how to get the geothermal system serviced. They have been fantastic and delightful every step of the way! Indeed, we are fortunate to call them now our friends.

Martine and Alex are simply put fantastic real estate agents and event better people. They aren’t just our agents but dear friends. Over the past 16 years they have sold 3 houses for us and helped us with the purchase of 3 houses. Our most recent sale and purchase had lots of ups and downs and the Irmers worked tirelessly all theough the process. I can’t recommend them more highly to help you with any of your real estate transactions. They are wonderful people, honest and know the business inside and out.

The Irmer Group (Martine) provided excellent service from the moment we decided to list the house. Her expertise of the real estate market and industry of our area could not have been better. She provided support beyond just the transaction and connected us with the appropriate people to clear and make necessary repairs to the house for sale. Martine took the time to understand our needs and expectations and expedited all paperwork, viewing, and open house leading to a quick sale. Because of her expertise the house was cleared, staged and listed within 30 days of signing our listing agreement. We received and accepted a contract within 6 days after the open house. We would highly recommend the Irmer Group based on their dedication to accommodate our specific needs and expertise in the real estate industry.

Martine and Alex are absolutely tremendous. Not only did they help us buy the perfect home while we were unable to be in the area, a major feat, we have also referred them now to multiple friends who have all been so happy with their experience. They’ll stop at nothing to be helpful and ensure you find the exact home that’s right for you, at the best price point. We wouldn’t use anyone else!

Customer for life! I could not recommend Alex and the Irmer Group enough. Alex knows the area and inventory very well, and has the experience and strong communication skills make trusted recommendations to his clients. He also has deep connections across many related home-buying industries (banking/finance, general contracting, plumbing, etc.) which is so huge when buying or selling a home. Five stars!!

Alex helped my wife and I purchase our first home. We did this while my wife was six months pregnant, and stress during the process was a worry of course. Alex worked patiently with us, using his extensive knowledge of the area. Also, having a source who is understanding of what to look for when it comes to possible issues or high cost items that would need replacing soon, was again something that made the process much less stressful. When we went to close both Alex and Martin were diligent to make sure everything was correct, and when a mistake was found they made sure it was corrected. I am always pessimistic when it comes to buying large items, but I honestly felt like I had a friend and advocate working with them.

My wife and I were so fortunate to have Alex and Martina as our realtors. They helped us find a home that we are so blessed to be in, while in a very competitive market. The Irmer group understands market value and has your best interest. Their network from the inspector to the lender is top notch, and I highly recommend them.

We have used The Irmer Group twice over the past several years and can not speak highly enough about our home buying experience.

Alex and Martine helped us find our starter home which was perfect for us and we couldn’t have been happier. As our family grew, we contacted them again to help us find our dream home. Each step of the way we felt that they were always looking out for our best interest. They remain in contact with us to check in and we can truly say we wouldn’t use anyone else to buy or sell a home.

We had the best time working with Alex and Martine finding our first home in Alexandria. They were communicative, thorough, and well-researched. They clearly knew the area well and had great advice throughout the process. Their expertise was evident at every turn. We cannot recommend them enough!!

You truly can’t find a better realtor team than Alex & Martine! They are incredibly knowledgeable about things housing-related and know exactly what to look for and red flags to avoid in both a house and neighborhood. Alex invested time into learning exactly what we are dreaming of and helped guide us to find exactly what we wanted in a neighborhood we would have never thought to explore. He was flexible and always made himself available to show us houses and connect with us during the search. On top of that, Alex is incredibly personable, thoughtful, and funny which made the process very enjoyable. Realtors I’ve worked with in the past made me feel like they would do anything to make a sale / purchase happen and the Irmer Group couldn’t be further from that. I couldn’t recommend them more highly! Thank you for everything!

Alex and Martine stopped over after I contacted them about wanting to sell my house. Both were just as friendly and positive as can be. I had mentioned that I had plans to travel to Europe for a couple of weeks, and they assured me that it would not be a problem. Once the photos were taken of the house, they forwarded them to me. They did a wonderful job. In fact, on my second day in Italy, Alex contacted me with an offer on my house, which I accepted. We communicated throughout the process via email and telephone. They kept me updated and arranged a closing date that fit my schedule. Martine was with me through the signing. Their friendliness and welcoming spirit made me feel like more than just a client. I highly recommend both Alex and Martine.

From starter home to forever home! I’ve worked with Martine and Alexander for over a decade and on multiple properties. I’ve refer them to family and friends countless times over, all of whom have found and purchased property with the trusted guidance of The Irmer Group. They are a dream team with a wealth of knowledge, especially in Northern Virginia. Thank you Martine and Alexander for your tireless support though my home buying journey! -Xo, Amanda

The best real estate team you can hope for. They know how to get it done, whether it’s finding the next home in a tight market, knowing what it takes to get a contract, staging or selling. More importantly, they care. They take the time to really know and understand you as a client, and they bring that approach to their network and their peer realtors. Martine knows and is loved by everyone, and Alex knows how to get things done. Together, they are the only team you’ll need in Alexandria. I’ve been a client over 20years. Fantastic people.

Martine and Alexander are the absolute best for Old Town Alexandria and the surrounding area. I purchased a home through them a few years ago and they recently sold my home (in one day). They know the area and market better than anyone and go the extra mile during the entire process. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else in the area.

In a time where people do less and ask for more, the Irmer team (Alex & Martine) are the ones who do more. We have not only had them as our purchasing agents on our first home, but they were recently our sales agent on that same home 7 years later. They are “that” team. The one you go back to time and time again because they fight for you. Few people these days can do what they do and that’s why we will ALWAYS be a returning customer. Do yourself a favor…if you’re buying or selling a home and want someone knowledgeable, caring, and fun to work with, the Irmer’s are your team. Here’s their ten stars that google won’t let me give **********

We have worked with Alex and Martine Irmer over several years to both buy and sell homes. They are extremely knowledgeable about the area and have provided tremendous support through both the buying and selling process. They work hard to make the process smooth, enjoyable, and are always advocating for our best interests. More than that, they truly care about finding finding you a home you'll love, not just a house to live in. They're genuine, reliable, professional and great to work with!

My wife and I mainly write reviews for the prospective buyers out there who, just like we were, may not know the ground truth in certain areas. Both Alex and Martine Irmer helped us both buy and sell in Old Town Alexandria. We couldn't not recommend them more! If we could have them for our future transactions (we're moving out of the area) we 100% would. Both Martine and Alex were very professional, gave us the upmost confidence in their knowledge of the markets, and served as a good advisor and friend through, what can be, a stressful process. I would argue they have the top pulse on the Old Town market, knowing block by block which homes are worth the value. In some cases, they had previously sold the homes and were intimately familiar with the history, the work done (especially in the case of renovations and flips), and past issues or complaints about the location. Alex went above and beyond to show homes in the market in two days, seeing over eight homes! He worked hard to show the pros/cons of each property, educate us on the inventory, and guide us to the right choice. In both the buy/sell negotiations, you NEED Martine Irmer on your side. She's very smart about real estate transactions, will defend you as a buyer/seller, and knows the landscape well. I would recommend to anyone out there looking to buy or sell, give Martine and Alex a call and talk with them about your goals, intentions, and plans. We happened upon Martine at an open house and we're forever grateful for it!
