Alyssa was such a delight to work with in finding my new home in Alexandria. She is a longtime resident of the Northern Virginia area and knows the real estate market better here inside and out. Alyssa went above and beyond in helping me find a home to suit my needs, which was particularly important since I was overseas at the time and could not visit potential homes to see them for myself. But she took the time to understand what I needed, beyond simply the square footage, appliances, amenities, etc. She understood what I needed the home to feel like, and offer me in terms of my particular lifestyle, work schedule, etc. This really helped me as I felt somewhat anxious about moving into a home sight unseen, and was on a very firm schedule. Alyssa is responsive, understanding, empathetic, and extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of her business. I look forward to working with her again when it is time to buy a new home.

Update: 2020
Alyssa Cannon was once again such a delight to work with in buying a home when I returned to Northern Virginia from an overseas assignment. Having known Alyssa for many years, but not knowing the market and trying to get re-settled in the Washington area, reaching out to Alyssa for her assistance was an easy decision. From the very beginning when I was merely considering real estate in Alexandria, to working with a recommended lender, to the closing, and to any follow up details, Alyssa’s expertise and confident, personable demeanor made the process so straightforward. Rather than worrying over uncertainties or unanswered questions, I was able to experience the excitement and joy of buying my beautiful home while Alyssa helped navigate and guide the process. She truly understands the buyer and what his or her needs and wants are, and in this case, better than the buyer herself! I could not be happier with my new home, and everyday feel so fortunate to have found and purchased it with Alyssa by my side. She is simply a dream real estate agent and I highly recommend her to anyone considering buying or selling a home.

It was great working with Alyssa to buy my first home. The North Arlington market is very difficult for buyers right now and her knowledge of not only the area, but individual buildings was invaluable. Her helping me to understand the process and market allowed me to feel confident in my decisions every step of the way and she continues to be a valuable resource in references for things like painters, etc.

Alyssa was absolutely wonderful to work with as our buying agent. She was prompt, easy to work with, and has a great knowledge of the local market. With such a crazy market as Arlington's, Alyssa helped us take things at our own pace and understand the consequences of all of the decisions we had to make throughout the process. She's an excellent communicator and we really viewed her as a partner through the process. We heartily recommend her!

Alyssa Cannon is an outstanding and tireless agent! She recently helped me purchase a fantastic townhouse in Reston. It was my first purchase since 2005 and I was wary of buying a new home after being stung after the correction of 2008-2009. So Alyssa had to work with a hesitant client who had a true “buyer’s remorse” based on a past experience. But I really wanted to improve my position and find a place for my true satisfaction and happiness. Alyssa saw this in our conversations and she was the perfect person to guide me towards finding a very fantastic purchase! She was a very good listener during this entire process and was interested in all the wants and desires I was considering. Along with her empathy and patience, Alyssa was particularly keen on providing me with all available options and decision points. I liked the fact that she did not push me to a decision based on her benefit; she gave me all the criteria I needed to make the choice on my set of conditions. Alyssa also impressed me with her meticulous attention to detail. She led the way in setting up the usual aspects of the finance, negotiation, sale and closing. But she was also there to anticipate and head off “bumps in the road” that occurred during this process. I am happy to say that her efforts enabled a successful negotiation well under the original listing. This entire process from start to closing took less than two months and it was done to my complete satisfaction! And I am happy to report that she is still helping me with the adjustment to my new property and all post-sale activities. I totally endorse Alyssa for anyone out there who wants a real estate agent who actually listens to her clients, solves problems and provides concierge service. She is an expert on the DMV market and is just simply great at what she does. I know I will hire her again the next time I either buy or sell. She really is the one to count on if you want to find that exceptional home!

My wife and I were fortunate to have Alyssa assisting us with every step of the homebuying process. She was incredibly helpful in assessing and resolving every decision we faced along the way. Alyssa is an exceptional agent, though given her expertise in almost every facet of the home-buying process, we found her guidance far more diversified and valuable, and therefore thought of her as much more than what might commonly be thought of when using the phrase “real estate agent.” Being first-time homebuyers, we naturally had a lot of questions, and we never once felt like Alyssa failed to respond in a meaningful and/or helpful manner.

Alyssa was also extremely timely with respect to all communications at all times throughout the buying process with all parties, regardless of the level of difficulty of a given communication. Lastly, but perhaps most importantly, Alyssa was an exceptional agent because she always made us feel as though our best interests were being upheld at every stage. We never felt we made a decision without having considered it fully, or in most cases actually discussing it over the phone or in person, with Alyssa. Alyssa guided us through the whole process with a level of care and attention that we honestly did not expect - she far surpassed the level of service we’d come to expect after the experiences of many of our friends in buying their own homes. Alyssa will definitely be our agent for all future home purchases and sales.

Alyssa was our realtor for buying a home in the Northern Virginia area. She is very friendly, was accommodating of our work schedules and very professional! She is also very knowledgeable regarding the area as well as the features of all of the condominium buildings in which we were originally viewing units. We ended up purchasing a townhouse, which we love. One star is missing not because of Alyssa, but because of the home inspector that she referred to us. I hope that she does not continue to use his services as he made a few significant errors in the inspection.

Alyssa worked with us for over a year, showed us endless properties, educated us, always had our best interest in mind , guided us, connected us with the absolute best lender and never got to sell us a home-my husband accepted a new position out of state! While we were excited for our new opportunity we felt terrible because Alyssa had put forth so much effort-worked so dilligently-for us. Our worry was for naught. She was thrilled to hear of our news & still keeps in contact. Unlike other experiences we had with previous realtors-we never felt like "a sale". Alyssa's a class act with decades of experience who always has her client's best interest in mind.

My husband and I met Alyssa Cannon a few years ago when we saw her at an open house. We were very impressed with her and kept in touch over three years. When we got serious about find a new place we called her. She was so patient with and guided us through the whole process. We looked at many, many places before she helped us find the perfect one for us.

Alyssa was absolutely terrific in the negotiations for the purchase of our new place. But, she really shinned when it came to selling our old house. The negotiation process was quite difficult and was made worse as we were out of the country during most of the negotiation time. But, Alyssa was calm and forceful , kept in touch with us daily and, in the end, we got what we wanted for the house.

Alyssa Cannon is a fabulous agent and has become a great friend. We would certainly use her agin and have already recommended her to some of our friends.

We are so pleased with our experience working with Alyssa. She was extremely professional and helpful, and made our home buying process enjoyable. In addition to being well organized, patient, and dependable, Alyssa also was a highly effective communicator. She offered us well-informed guidance and perspectives regarding both big picture items, such as the climate of the market, as well as smaller items, such as nuances with the homes we viewed. Alyssa also listened closely to our opinions and requirements, and worked hard to develop a set of parameters that helped identify quickly and easily those houses that would fit our budget and desires. Alyssa was always easy to get in touch with and quick to take action when necessary. We were especially appreciative of her flexibility with our somewhat unpredictable schedules. After each interaction we had with Alyssa, we would without fail comment on how wonderful she was to work with, and how refreshing it was to interact with someone so competent, with such high integrity.
