Superstar realtor! Kaush was always helpful and responsive, I will forever appreciate how much easier he made things. He was patient when I asked a million questions and he always made sure I was fully informed and comfortable with the plan. I left with everything I wanted for less than I expected. I could not have asked for a better realtor as a first time buyer.

Kaushik worked a small miracle for us. I didn't think there was anything in our budget, and yet he showed us many, many options. We love our new space, and would definitely recommend Kaushik.

We have worked with Kaush twice so far to purchase our homes. He has been approachable, diligent, kind, and patient with us. He always advocated for us, offered us helpful guidance and was ultimately able to help us find what we wanted/needed in a home. Kaush is amazing at what he does!

My experience working with Kaushik was exceptional. His knowledge and professional demeanor in the real estate industry make it easy to find the right property and navigate challenges during negotiations. We went from putting in an offer to closing in less than 45-days; talk about efficiency. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for any type of property in the National Capital Region.

Kaush isn't merely a realtor; he has become a trusted friend. From the outset, he takes the time to truly understand the needs and desires of your family, walking you through sensible options and crafting a well-thought-out plan geared towards making one of the biggest decisions of your life. Placing our trust in Kaush turned out to be one of our best decisions. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Absolutely thrilled with our experience working with Kaush as our real estate agent! From the moment we met, he demonstrated incredible expertise in the local real estate market and a genuine passion for helping us find our new home.

Not only did he guide us through the entire home-buying process, but he also helped us navigate the complexities of building a custom home. Kaush was attentive to our needs, provided valuable insights on the Arlington market, and connected us with an excellent builder.

Communication was seamless; he was always available to answer our questions and address any concerns. His attention to detail and commitment to our vision made all the difference.

Thanks to Kaush's hard work and expertise, we now have a beautiful home that perfectly fits our family's needs. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or build in the area. Five stars all the way!

Buying a house can be a complex process with a lot of moving components (at least in my case). Kaushik was immensely knowledgeable and accommodating throughout the process. Which was much appreciated in my case for being a first time homeowner.
It was a joy working with Kaushik as he truly understood my needs and gave excellent advice to be successful.

Kaushik is amazing! We have worked with him for two home purchases in DC and he has consistently gone above and beyond to meet our needs. He is a masterful negotiator and I couldn't imagine working with anyone else. Highly recommend!

Kaush was fantastic working with me. I am a realtor in another state part time and did not want to get licensed in DC but needed an expert negotiator to get this deal done. He absolutely crushed it on my behalf, got into a competitive property using strategies he suggested which would not have been possible otherwise. He helped us not only win the property but also work threw some complex changes that occurred on the property on the most complex real estate deal I have done so far under a very constrained timeline. Would highly recommend!

Bottom line up front: Kaush is the best realtor my wife and I have ever worked with. In addition to using him for two purchases ourselves, we have referred him to friends and family for five other home purchases and one sale.

The home buying process can be stressful, and having the right realtor by yourself side makes all the difference. He is extremely patient and helpful throughout the search, and he draws on a wealth of experience—including a legal background—and network of contacts to help clients evaluate key decisions when making an offer and getting under contract. As importantly, we enjoy working with him as a person, and we cannot recommend him highly enough.

Kaushik is hands down the best realtor in the DMV area. After vetting numerous agents we decided to go with Kaushik and are very glad that we did. Kaushik demonstrated exceptional market knowledge and a keen understanding of my requirements from the very beginning. He was incredibly responsive and communicative throughout the entire process, always keeping me informed and addressing any concerns promptly. Kaushik's negotiation skills were outstanding, and he was able to secure a deal that exceeded my expectations. He went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of the transaction was smooth and seamless. I will definitely be recommending him to my friends and family.

Kaushik helped me with my first home purchase. He was extremely personable, professional, and shared critical knowledge that helped me take advantage of first time home buyer credits. He also provided a list of vetted originators and contractors that helped a ton in the process!

Kaushik is now our family realtor and has helped multiple members of my family with both residential and commercial real estate.

Beyond grateful to Kaushik and the Jenn Smira Team for finding us our dream home. Kaushik was patient in answering our questions and helping us navigate the home buying process. We have worked with him on a few houses and with our most recent home, he even knew the selling agent and was able to help us negotiate a great price. Thank you so much Kaush!

We are so blessed to have worked with Kaushik multiple times and are now friends of his. He has helped us find our dream home (at an incredible price) and also assisted my brother and his family in finding their forever home. Kaushik is an all-around attentive, supportive, and most importantly communicative agent who always has your best interests at heart. He understands that purchasing a home is a huge investment and guides you through the process while educating you on what to look for in a home.

Kaushik Rath was recommended by an acquaintance and I could not have been more pleased. He has a vast knowledge of the DC Metro area, works with a great team, with Kaushik, himself, being accessible to questions and concerns. I am appreciative of his efforts and tact in securing the sale, as he dealt with 3 sellers of 1 property. Heartfelt wishes and success for Kaushik along with the Jenn Smira team at Compass.

Kaushik helped us find and get the home we always wanted! When we were in a tight bidding war for our future home, Kaushik reached out to the selling agent and helped broker a deal that we and the buyer were comfortable with. We don't think we could've done it without him. Thank you!

I have been a client of Kaushik Rath’s for quite a while and have continued to recommend his services to family and friends because I have absolute confidence that he will extend the same top-tier level of service that he delivered to me. Kaushik masterfully handled my entire home buying experience -- bringing me to ease with the reassurance that all of my needs would be met.

Purchasing a home is a stressful experience for everyone and I can’t think of a better person to guide home buyers through the process than Kaushik Rath.

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Kaush during the purchase of our home, and he was accommodating and professional, particularly as we were looking during COVID. Kaush understands the DC market and made the entire experience smooth and efficient.

In a market filled with uncertainties, Kaush was reliable and quick to respond. We would not hesitate to work with him again in the future.

I can’t express enough my appreciation for Kaushik as a realtor and a person. He helped us find exactly what we were looking for and didn’t waste our time showing us places we wouldn’t want or couldn’t afford. When the seller delayed closing, he negotiated credits for us, and then stuck with us for over a year guiding us through a very complicated sale. He always remained hopeful and engaged, and did everything in his power to make sure the sale went through. Most importantly, he’s a great person and a pleasure to spend time with.

As a first time homebuyer, Kaushik demystified the entire process. He helped assess our different options and once we were ready, advised us in making a creative and effective offer to the seller. He came highly recommended, and I completely agree, Kaushik was a dream to work with.

Working with Kaushik was an incredible experience. As a first-time homebuyer, I was extremely nervous to begin the process but Kaush was patient and took the time to explain everything. He listened to what I wanted in a home and showed me places that fit the description I gave. He communicated promptly at every turn and helped communicate with all the parties involved in the closing.
I would highly recommend Kaush to anyone looking for a home and will, without a doubt, be working with him again when I want to sell my home (which won't be for a long time since he found a place I love!).

Kaushik is a rare breed as a realtor. As a barred attorney, he understands the contractual aspect of buying and selling real estate at a much more detailed level, which helped him advocate for me on both the sale and buy side of the transaction. He also has his finger on the pulse of the market, is incredibly well connected and respected in the industry, and provides 5 star service. I would not even consider using another agent.

If you need a realtor in the DMV, we recommend Kaushik to everyone. He is extremely knowledgable and understands the real estate market, which was crucial in our decision-making process. Kaushik is a consummate professional -- punctual, patient, strategic -- thoughtfully taking into account our needs and preferences in choosing a home. He is easy to reach and would take the time to answer any and all of our questions. There was a time we needed to bring our dog while house hunting and Kaushik walked our dog while we went inside to see the house -- he's the real deal. Ultimately, he helped us move into the perfect home, and we couldn't be happier to have worked with Kaushik. He's the best of the best (we're not even earning commission on this review, just the truth).
