I am incredibly grateful for the amazing experience I had with The Balcha Group Real Estate Services, especially my agent Hermela. From day one, she was so friendly, welcoming, and easy to work with. Hermela is very knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything clearly, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. She was always available, responsive, and genuinely cared about my questions and concerns. What I appreciated most is that she never made me feel like she was just trying to sell me a property instead, it truly felt like she was helping me find a home. That level of care, honesty, and dedication means so much. I’m very thankful for Hermela’s hard work, patience, and support and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. I highly recommend Hermela and The Balcha Group to anyone looking for a real estate agent who truly cares.

We had an excellent experience working with Hermila in buying our new home! From the very beginning, when we first met, she helped us rent our previous house with such a positive spirit. She encouraged us that buying a home was possible and helped us set the goal. A year later, when the time came, she made sure we landed in our dream home one that is perfect and convenient for our family.

Hermila was patient, attentive, and always available to answer our many questions. She took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and guided us step by step through the entire process.

What stood out the most was her professionalism, deep knowledge of the market, and strong negotiation skills. She made sure we felt comfortable and confident at every stage.

Thanks to her hard work and dedication, we are now in the perfect home for our family. We truly appreciate her honesty, responsiveness, and the personal care she put into helping us. We highly recommend Hermila and the Hermela Balcha Group to anyone looking to buy or sell a home you will be in excellent hands!

As first-time homebuyers, we had so much to learn, and Hermela guided us through every step with patience, clarity, and care. Hermela from The Balcha Group provided a seamless, one-stop-shop experience, connecting us with a highly efficient mortgage team and ensuring both sides worked in perfect sync.

I would like to express my heart felt gratitude and immense appreciation for the Balcha Group for turning into a reality my dream of buying a beautiful home for my family within just 2 and half months in Silver Spring, Maryland! I approached the Balcha Group via social media after watching Hermela’s powerful and informative real-estate knowledge sharing videos on her YouTube channel. Her confidence, knowledge and mastery of real estate industry encouraged me to send the first message asking for real-estate agent service without even being referred to her by anyone. Once we started visiting potential single-family houses, it didn’t take me long to build an absolute confidence and trust on Hermela Balcha and Dee Harris. First and foremost, they prioritized listening and understanding my aspirations and specific needs and continued putting my individual interest always first and at the center of every effort. There were times where Hermela and Dee saved me from the suffering of bad decisions by saying ‘’No, this property does not serve your interest’’, even when I made wrong decisions to buy the wrong property. I learnt so much from them in this process! The Blacha Group provided me with incredibly efficient one-stop-shop real-estate service to secure a big and beautiful home far beyond what I visualized. The Blacha Group connected me with an incredibly efficient mortgage company. The real estate team worked hand in hand with the mortgage team. Whenever we found homes I liked, it was an amazing experience to see offers structured and submitted within 1-2 hours by the Balcha Group even on a Sunday in collaboration with the mortgage team. The Balcha Group working with exemplary efficiency and in harmony with the mortgage team made a closing of a home buy possible just in 3 weeks! Even after closing, Hermela and Dee provided me uninterrupted support and guidance in several matters of home management.

Working with the Balcha Group, I witnessed excellence, professionalism, integrity, reliability and an impressive end-to-end support!

Special and BIG thank you for Hermela Balcha and Dee Harris as well as to the mortgage team!!!

Hermela is a very resourceful real estate agent. She managed to get me a real nice and affordable condominium within two days. Always smiling, and answering my questions she allayed all fears and anxiety of moving to a big city. I’d always recommend the Balcha Group.

The top real estate agent in the DMV area is Hermela.
She assisted us with closing on our first house. She made the whole experience interesting and seamless. We appreciate working with her on our house buying process. Without a doubt, she exceeded our expectations.
She was there to help her client in the BEST interest of that client, not to maximize her financial gain. She has our trust and is the best realtor we recommend to everyone who is going the house buying process . She is the perfect fit and the best help, and we are blessed to have her. She will ensure that you have everything on your wishlist and will go above and above to ensure your satisfaction. I'm so glad we can accomplish this together. You won’t find an agent like Hermela so stop searching just contact her now!!!

Let me start by saying that you won't find another agent like Hermela if you need to buy a house. She won't be just your agent and try to rush you; instead, she will be by your side every step of the way and she will give you every chance to be happy with your purchase. She will also give you advice on everything that comes to the table because buying a house is difficult, but she will make it simple for you. I wish I could say more about this because she deserves every nice word in dictionary because of her we find our dream home with our budget and I wish I can give her a 1000 star cause she deserves it . Contact her now you will thank me later !!

Hermela was simply a delight to work with. Her professional demeanor paired with her knowledge base of the areas we were interested in looking at (which was a wide net casted) and her negotiation skills were excellent! She is friendly, experienced, and helped us out with any and all questions we had. Moving from out of state is not an easy task in this quick moving market and Hermela had so many quality options for us to view, even chauffeuring my husband around on his second trip back after no rental cars were available. It felt like she went above and beyond, but I am confident that this is just her way of working, top notch! Will absolutely trust in her services when we move to our next home.

Hermela helped us relocate from South America to Northern Virginia. She and her team were incredible on sharing different possibilities in the area, showed us a lot of options and helped us narrow it down to the perfect home for our family. She also negotiated in our behalf and made sure everything was working and ready for us when we flew in. I definitely recommend her relocation service, that went way beyond house hunting and included getting through US bureaucracy as an expat.

Hermela Balcha and The Balcha group went above and beyond to make our first time home buying experience incredible and even relaxing. From initial showings to closing, the team advised us each step of the way and made it clear they were there to do the RIGHT thing for the customer rather than what makes them the most money. We trust their team and believe they are the best realtor team in the area. We were blessed to have come into contact with Hermela, and not only that, she got us a home with a substantial amount of equity immediately upon appraisal, plus cost off and below listing price! Incredible team, work with The Balcha Group NOW!

Hermela is not only amazing at her job she is also an amazing person. She knows everyone and everything one would need when moving from Europe to the US :-) Her joy and positive attitude got me through the stressful process of moving from a hotel to an apartment, opening a bank account, applying for SSN, a local drivers license and many many more things.
She is incredibly professional and knowledgeable, and whenever I will look to rent or buy anything in the DMV area I will only go to her!

I only have positive feedback from both Hermela and Johnny. Nice people who really go the extra mile to help on (the already stressful) relocation process. And on top of that, they know their craft extremely well.
Definitely would recommend them in a heartbeat!

Fantastic experience working with Hermela and Johnny. Walked me straight through the apartment searching process from start to end, and really showed genuine care and understanding about what I was looking for. Now settled and very happy. Would highly recommend whether you’re new to DC, or moving within.

Hermela and her partner are the best relocation agents I ever had. Always supportive and positive, they did a great job during all our relocation period. They are really engaged to help us in every step of our move from France to US. A big thank you to Hermela for all the efforts she did for us.
