"To those of you looking for a Realtor, you are probably familiar with what many say is the first rule of buying and selling property-- that the most important question is location, location, location. But they would be wrong. The most important rule is hiring an agent that has integrity, integrity, integrity. I know Deborah well and she will not compromise herself to get a sale or commission and at a time when getting the deal done is all some think about-- she does not. She thinks about her client and whether the deal is good for them. She and her husband, Rene, are great people and consummate professionals.You will enjoy working with them as you sell or buy property." BOB FLORES Of Counsel at Gammon & Grange, P.C.– Deborah Fonseca
"Rene and Deborah are the definition of customer service and have a drive and determination not seen so much in today's resale of real estate market. Recently a friend of mine was trying to hire an attorney for his office in Washington, DC and lost the candidate because the sales agent working with him was not able to find him a property to purchase nor were they accommodating to him since he was from Texas. My friend reached out to me and I reached out to Deborah and Rene to see if they could help. They searched high and low and worked according to this gentleman's schedule and located him a property which he closed on and he is now gainfully employed at the DC lawfirm. My friend was extremely pleased and I was extremely grateful to Deborah and Rene since it was my reputation on the line. They demonstrated how important customer service is and how hard they worked for their customers. They do this for everybody. I would refer this team to anybody looking for a property.

"The Fonsecas went way beyond the call of duty -- and even agreed to see some undesirable places that I picked out, even though they knew I was on the wrong track. They drove me all around Northern VA, D.C. and Maryland, showing me every possible area of interest. They sacrificed their own lives at times. They always agreed to see me, even if it meant they couldn't be with family on special events - including birthdays! They always downplayed their sacrifices, so that I wouldn't feel bad for them. The home they eventually found for me - which I purchased - was one that they took the initiative to find, even though I was not in town at the time. They had building experts check out the home, and even helped clean some things in preparation for my closing and moving. They negotiated a significant price reduction for me – and to top it off, they got the Sellers to agree to pay for all repairs mentioned in the Inspection report! I have nothing but gratitude and respect for Deborah and René Fonseca, and I can't thank them nearly enough." ----- RON DeWITT ---- Chief Operating Officer, Washington, DC– Deborah Fonseca
