As a first-time homebuyer, I had a lot of questions and uncertainties going into the process, but Jesse made everything so smooth and stress-free from start to finish. He was incredibly helpful, patient, and informative every step of the way, always taking the time to explain things clearly and make sure I was informed felt comfortable with each decision.

Jesse went above and beyond, whether it was being available at odd hours, helping coordinate with lenders and inspectors, or just offering honest advice when I needed it most. I never felt rushed or pressured, and I always felt like they genuinely had my best interests at heart.

I would highly recommend Jesse and the Synergy Group to any first-time buyers!

We had a great experience selling our home with Daniel Schuler. We needed a quick sale and he made it happen seamlessly. He was able to facilitate the scheduling of minor home improvements, staging, photographs and listing quickly and efficiently. We sold our home within one week of it going to market and we couldn't be happier. Daniel is personable, highly knowledgeable about the market and offered us valuable insights around pricing and negotiating strategy. We would highly recommend Daniel and The Synergy Group!

Scott Sachs was very accommodating. We bounced around several neighborhoods and home styles before we figured out what we wanted. Scott stayed patient throughout the process and helped us hone in on what was ideal for us. He was an expert on the Alexandria area and found us exactly what we wanted.

This was our fourth transaction with Scott Sachs (2 sales, 1 purchase, and 1 referral) and I recommend him and his team without hesitation. I have known him for 11 years. Scott relies on data to inform his recommendations and explains the data in a way that is understandable. Even after he helped with selling us an investment property, he was always willing to offer advice if I called him throughout the years. We recently moved out of the DMV, so Scott and his team had to handle all of the details involved with two sales including everything from getting bids and overseeing minor repairs to pulling weeds himself when our landscaper didn't show up :( The transactions felt seamless. He is great at what he does and is passionate about it. He is easy to work with as well and will offer real advice when asked, especially what he would do in your situation. I would use The Synergy Group again in any real estate transaction.

I cannot say enough good about Scott Sachs. He is professional, thoughtful, kind, and savvy. He sold our house masterfully and took any burden off of us. A former colleague happened to attend our open house and she too couldn't stop raving about how knowledgeable and professional Scott is. Real estate is such a niche industry and a real estate transaction is likely something a person does less than a handful of times in their lives - ripe for opportunistic brokers. There is no one I trust more to represent our best interests than Scott. Thank you so much to Scott and the Synergy Group (especially Kristin!) for everything!

Scott is a savvy real estate broker who is always looking out for your best interests whether you're buying or selling a property (he's helped me with both). He knows the DMV market inside and out and can provide key insights that make sure you end up with the right house. He also knows exactly how to frame your property to the market to sell your house quickly and for a great price. I cannot recommend Scott enough!

We had the best experience working with Scott Sachs in purchasing our first home this past year! His guidance and expert strategy helped us navigate through an incredibly dynamic and competitive housing market. Throughout the process, he was responsive, always reliable, and remained steadfast to our search - even in the moments we were losing hope! He brought the same positive energy and keen eye to every viewing we went to (and there were many!) and patiently answered all our questions.

He is also simply a wonderful human and incredibly fun to work with - we would not have survived this market without his humor and kindness. Ultimately, he helped us land our dream home while negotiating an excellent deal within our budget!

We truly cannot thank Scott, Kristin, and the Synergy Group enough for all their tireless work and dedication this past year. We recommend them highly to anyone looking for a passionate team to work with!

Scott Sachs and his group are excellent.  Our house offered advantages that normally aren’t found in similar neighborhoods. This made our house unique and attractive..for the “right” buyer. On the other hand, it lacked some features that many people are looking for. Scott saw clearly the advantages, and effectively presented the property in that light. The pictures were published in exquisite detail, including from drones, that really showed off the property. His descriptions highlighted compellingly the advantages of living there.  He explained what his plan was from the beginning, and he delivered on what he promised. He priced the house skillfully and we received a great offer in a short amount of time. He negotiated effectively for the best conditions.  In addition, I appreciated his guidance on preparing the house without overspending on items that would not enhance its market value. I consider myself lucky for having had Scott as my selling agent, and I would recommend to him to anyone, particularly for houses that are unique and require a little bit more insight and experience..

Our experience with The Synergy Group was great! As first-time homebuyers, we were really nervous, but Scott and Kristen made us feel supported and valued every step of the way. Their expertise in the local market is impressive, but what truly stood out was Scott's honesty. He had an incredible ability to recognize when a house wasn’t the right fit for us, never trying to push us into something we didn’t want. It was really nice to work with someone who genuinely cared about finding us the perfect home rather than just closing a sale.

Kristen was equally amazing, guiding us through each step of the process with patience and clarity. We appreciated their responsiveness—no question was too small, and they were always available to provide insights and advice. When it came to making an offer, Scott was really helpful in helping us settle on a number that we were truly comfortable with. They worked diligently to ensure we got the best possible deal, making what can be a stressful process feel much more manageable. Thanks to Scott and Kristen, we are now happily settled in our dream home!!

He was familiar with our neighborhood, which was an added plus. He was always readily available and responded quickly to our questions and concerns...and offered his professional advice. We had a negative experience with a previous Realtor, so working with Daniel was a welcomed relief!

From our very first meeting, Jeff impressed me with his market knowledge, professionalism, and genuine care for my needs.

I had an incredible experience listing my home with Jeff Bonilla of the Synergy Group. His knowledge of the market, clear guidance for how to make the most of the sale, and exceptional marketing effort, made the sale of my home seamless and quick. He hosted a Happy Hour open house the day it hit the market. I had multiple offers over asking price within a few days and I closed without issue in less than a month!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Daniel and The Synergy Group! From the very beginning, he demonstrated an unparalleled level of expertise and professionalism. Daniel not only helped us find and secure our forever home, but he also sold our townhouse for a price that exceeded our expectations.

The entire process was incredibly smooth, thanks to Daniel's thorough knowledge of the real estate market and his exceptional negotiation skills. He guided us every step of the way, making what could have been a stressful experience feel effortless and enjoyable.

Daniel's dedication and commitment to his clients are truly remarkable. He was always available to answer our questions, provide valuable insights, and offer support. His attention to detail and understanding of our needs made us feel confident and well-cared for throughout the entire journey.

A big shoutout to The Synergy Group as well! Their collective effort ensured that every aspect of the process was handled efficiently and professionally. The team's coordination and support played a crucial role in making our home-buying and selling experience seamless and successful.

Scott Sachs is simply the best. Exceptionally hard working, his expertise is evident in all he does. I trust Scott, implicitly, to speak the truth, not what I want to hear but what I need hear. Scott doesn't go the extra mile he does a marathon's worth of them. Scott communicates the nuances of buying and selling in language I understand. And he's fun, has great sense of humor, and no task is too small for him. Kristin Faig is part of the team. she too goes above and beyond in making the process manageable. I'm a total techno dweeb and Kristin jumped right in to fill my huge technical gap. Kristin does it with great grace and kindness. Once I found Scott and The Synergy Group I'd found my realtors for life.

Daniel recently helped my mom and my family sell our house and we could not have imagined a better process. He brings incredible knowledge about the area, the market and features of a home, as well as a respectful honesty and many laughs to what can be a stressful process. He helped us best prepare the house for market with honest advice while also respecting our wishes as the seller. Daniel is extremely professional, personable, respectful, and is always available for any questions or clarifications. He and their Operations Manager, Kristin, made an excellent team communicating with us every step of the way. The process all went so seamlessly, much more smoothly than we had expected. I have now sold my parents house and bought my own first home with Daniel’s help and would highly recommend him and The Synergy Group!

I have worked with Scott Sachs through the purchase and sale of multiple homes over the course of about a decade and, especially now that he has co-built the literal dream team that is the Synergy Group, I will never work with any other realtor. His level of knowledge, network and dedication is unparalleled. Scott delivers on his promises - and then some! When it comes to home buying, your choice in a realtor can truly make or break the investment. Scott and his amazing team (shout out to Jeff and Kristin) roll out the red carpet for this important and deeply personal experience in the game of life. Suffice it to say, I am a raving fan!

I worked with Daniel Schuler from mid 2022 through the end of 2023 to sell my condo in Downtown Silver Spring, after a very complicated past: a prior failed sale due to ongoing structural repairs in the condo building. Daniel was candid and perceptive at every step of the way, asking the right questions so he had all the information needed to properly advise me on what to do. Daniel helped secure a perfect tenant for the unit while repairs were completed, guided me through the property management process, and then worked with me to devise an aggressive plan for sale. Daniel also adjusted our plans quickly when circumstances changed, and always kept us up to date. Daniel was responsive, gave wise counsel, and most importantly advocated for my best interests as a client. I truly felt like I was respected, trusted, and had a strong advocate in my corner, which has not been my experience with other realtors in the past. The entire Synergy team is professional and such a pleasure to work with, and I'd recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell!

We have dealt with Scott Sachs for the purchase of two homes in the DMV area and I cannot say enough good things about him. The first home was a condo we were purchasing with our daughter and Scott navigated the competing concerns and interests of an almost 30-year-old (who was going to live in the condo) and her parents (who were helping with the money end) with diplomacy and skill, finding a place that satisfied everybody. Then, when my husband and I decided to purchase a place in DMV, Scott patiently helped us through a 2+ year search as we tried to figure out what we wanted and where we wanted to be. The place we ultimately purchased was one we were reluctant to see but he said was worth looking at and he was right. In both instances he gently encouraged us toward properties that were the soundest long-term choices. Scott listens to his clients, is patient, knows the market and area, and is able to match the property with the client, and always without pressure. He was a pleasure to work with and I recommend him very, very highly.

Scott Sachs at The Synergy Group delivered for us well beyond expectations. He helped us navigate selling our home, and purchasing another, seamlessly over the course of several months. His strategy on timing and pricing worked perfectly.

Dan and the Synergy Group are fantastic. I was referred by a friend, and could not have been happier with my experience with the whole team. From our very first call, Dan completely understood what I was looking for and found me the perfect home in no time. The offer reflected Dan's deep understanding of the market and I was under contract within a few hours! The Synergy Group made the experience so easy - from excellent communication to their network of local contacts to get the deal done. I never thought buying a home would be easier than buying a car, but they somehow made it possible!

Scott and his team are unparalleled in customer support, attention to detail, and performance. We are a military family and were forced to buy predominately remote. Scott’s communication was timely, relevant, and transparent. He is an expert in the area and was able to understand our requirements for buying in Arlington. He even was able to talk us out of potential poor investments proving that he wasn’t satisfied until the client received what they were looking for. When I was able to fly out to VA for a quick business trip, he picked me up every day to look at houses, completely not required but goes to show his commitment to his clients.

After purchase, he was able to video chat for all walk throughs and inspections, keeping us in the loop at every step. While we were driving cross country we had a tree cause damage to the property. He was immediately on site coordinating contractors to fix the issues caused. This truly resonated with our family and can’t thank him and his team at compass enough.

Look no further than Scott for your future real estate needs.

Scott Sachs has been our agent for both buying and selling. He tirelessly showed us numerous properties until we found one that perfectly matched our needs. His honest assessments were invaluable, and his advocacy as our buyer’s agent resulted in an excellent deal for us. When we decided to sell, Scott’s dedication led to maximum exposure for our property and a successful closing with an interested buyer. With extensive knowledge of the entire DMV area’s market, Scott stands out as the best agent we’ve ever worked with. His expertise goes beyond real estate; he possesses construction insights that help him identify issues others might overlook. Scott listens to clients while bravely offering his opinions to prevent mistakes. Many of our extended family members have entrusted Scott with multiple transactions, and we’ll continue to do so while highly recommending him to anyone in need of an outstanding realtor.

Stop your search now and reach out to The Synergy Group to be your realtor!

Dan’s leadership and expertise were invaluable throughout the entire process as he orchestrated his team and executed flawlessly in every facet of the listing.

From identifying needed areas of improvement, to scheduling and executing the teams to work on those areas, preparing the house for self-staging and photos, presenting the open house and scheduling private viewings and, of course, offer evaluation and closing - Dan and his team (Kristin was fantastic too) didn’t miss a thing!

There’s a reason The Synergy Group are the best in the area right now - they have the best people (Scott and Jesse are just as top-notch), they understand the area and the industry at the highest level, and they truly care, not only about maximizing the value received for the property, but about the PEOPLE they are working with and the relationships they build.

If you want to maximize the value of your property, while being provided with five-star, white-glove service and attention throughout the process, The Synergy Group is where you want to be!

Scott Sachs is simply amazing at what he does. I have had bad experiences with realtors in the past, but Scott provides a level of professionalism and knowledge that is unparalleled. Those same qualities are reflected in his team at the Synergy Group.

Selling your home can be overwhelming and Scott was there to support me throughout the entire process. Not only does he know what he is talking about, but he goes out of his way to make sure things run smoothly, you are comfortable, and you truly feel like you have an advocate that is looking out for your best interests. It’s the little things like when he lended me furniture from his own home to help stage my house to his responsiveness to my questions even when he was on vacation.

I cannot provide a better recommendation for Scott, and I am sure that this does not truly do him justice. I will just say that I will never use another realtor in Washington, DC besides Scott Sachs and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor in the area.

This time the market was more challenging with low inventory, but he took the time to show us the houses we wanted to see, sometimes with little notice since things were going quickly. He was always ready with measured insight and advice to make us feel like we were making informed decisions, even in an uncertain market! Ultimately we found a beautiful house in the right neighborhood for the right price thanks to him. He also helped us sell our old home, and ultimately we were able to navigate a non-standard arrangement with smooth sailing to sell our home for above asking thanks to him.

Scott was a wonderful friend and guide during our home search. He understood what we needed as a family and ultimately steered us to a house that we would have never landed on otherwise, but it ended up being the perfect fit. Additionally, he was exceptionally well-versed in home renovation costs. We toured a number of homes that would’ve required immediate work, and he was able to concisely compile a rough estimate list of renovation costs for each home to better inform our decision. All in all, Scott made the process an incredibly positive one in a very daunting market. We would always recommend him to friends and family!

We could throw out any intersection or neighborhood, and he immediately was giving us the inside scoop. He has an extensive network of agents, contractors, and handymen that also helped throughout the process.
He helped us navigate the offer process and eventual acceptance process smoothly, answering all the questions we had along the way. This included cost estimates for updates, advice on the cleanest offer to provide, information on school systems, etc.

I trust Scott and he is incredible in terms of connections with a highly reliable and professional team of contractors to help with all aspects of home purchase, ownership and when you are ready to sell. When it did come time to sell, of course we called Scott. He provided thoughtful and professional advice on how to prepare our home for the market. He was spot on! 8 offers in a matter of days and thousands above asking! He also had ideas on how to make our move efficient and helped us make connections in our new community. I cannot say enough about Scott! He was one of the most important contacts we made when coming to DC. Scott is the best there is in the business. I would not hesitate to recommend Scott and The Synergy Group to all of my family and friends.

We enjoyed working with Scott and his deep experience and knowledge of the market were crucial for locking down a great house in a very competitive market. In fact, our new house was not even on our radar until Scott suggested we check it out. We are very happy with how things worked out and appreciate the work of this team.

Five Star experience all the way. The Listing process and photo's were done quickly and with expertise. The Open House and showings always kept us in mind and informed. Closing went smoothly thanks to Scott Sach staying on top of several moving parts. Highly and without reservations recommend Scott and his Synergy Group team.

We had a great experience with Scott Sachs and the Synergy Group. Scott has been our agent through two other home sales & purchases and his support during our most recent sale & purchase was fantastic. Scott went out of his way, completely above and beyond, to help us buy and sell in a crazy housing market. He was always in our corner, keeping our specific wants and needs in mind and we knew we could trust his advice and counsel throughout. In terms of communication, he and his team were always responsive so we were able to move quickly.

Scott and The Synergy Group are the best!

My wife and I were blown away by the job Scott Sachs did as our agent helping us find and purchase a house. In the DC market, as crazy as it is right now, it's hard to come out the winner in bidding wars. Not only did we get the home we wanted, but Scott counseled us to offer substantially less than we were willing to pay for it. We didn't want to lose the home, but it turns out that his strategy was genius. He ended up both winning the house for us and saving us hundreds of thousands of dollars in the process, even in this crazy market. He could have banked a larger fee if he had encouraged us to offer what we were willing to pay, but that obviously wasn't his motivation; he was working for what was in our best interest. I've worked with many realtors, but never with anyone better than Scott. He's the Boss. I'd give him 10 stars if that was an option. Do yourself a favor and engage him if you are looking to buy or sell a home in the DMV.

Daniel & the team at The Synergy Group are phenomenal real estate professionals who I could not recommend more highly. As we were looking to buy, Daniel consistently was able to get us into houses right as they hit the market (and in some cases, before). His relationships and neighborhood expertise allowed us to get an offer in early and ultimately beat substantial competition. I can say definitively we would not have gotten our house if it wasn't for Daniel. I am very grateful for all his hard work for us and I cannot recommend him enough.

We sought out Scott and the Synergy team because of their strong reputation and achieved results in the market. We had not worked with Scott and team previously.

Scott met with us right away and provided sound advice on our current home and insight into the competitive landscape for homes in neighborhoods where we were interested.
I went into our first meeting thinking Scott could be a good fit to represent us on the buy side of the transaction. I was so impressed I ended up hiring Scott to both sell our home and help us find a new house. It was a great decision.

Scott and team made several recommendations for small improvements to increase the marketability of our home. He had professional contacts/vendors who were just great to work with. In all, we were able to get our home ready to hit the market in one week to take advantage of the limited inventory. Our results were nothing short of exceptional. We listed Thursday and had 40+ private tours by Saturday evening. We ended up selling for 20% above a high list price and we set the high-water mark for the neighborhood.

Scott didn’t just help us sell our house for more than we expected. His team negotiated a lease back with the winning offer which allowed us to stay in our home while we looked for a new house.
Synergy’s approach was thoughtful, and their market leading execution positioned us to be successful on the buy side of the transaction. Scott and Daniel listen and they make themselves available around your schedule to get you into new homes you want to see before they hit the market.

We found our dream home in the neighborhood/location we wanted, and surprisingly (in this market) on budget. What more could you ask for – the team’s process was flawless.

Five stars all day.

5 stars for Scott Sachs and the Synergy team! We were first time buyers in the District and Scott was a strategic partner and strong advocate who helped us win in a competitive market. He worked with us to understand the market, explore neighborhoods and property types to determine what we really wanted, and get organized so we'd be ready to compete when we found a place we loved. His network, knowledge, and get-it-done approach all made it a pleasure to partner with him.

Work with Scott and not only will you find the right home for you, you'll have a topnotch client experience.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Daniel Schuler and the Synergy Group this year to both sell our condo and buy a new house. We had heard wonderful things from friends who had worked with Daniel, and we feel so lucky that we had the opportunity to work with him. He successfully sold our condo quickly and for the price we wanted, and he even worked with us remotely for a significant period of time while we were out of town. During this time, he was able to get our condo fixed up and improved (both with repairs and cosmetic changes), packed up, and sold very quickly and efficiently. It was an excellent process for us, and we couldn’t believe how he managed to make the whole thing stress-free.

On the buying side, he worked with us tirelessly to find our dream home, spending all the time it took to do both facetime (when we weren’t local) and in-person tours. He gave great advice, had excellent vision and a design background which helped us think through potential renovations and expenses, and gave us candid and honest feedback through the whole process. We ended up with the perfect home and are so grateful for everything he did for our family over the past year. Thank you, Daniel! We’ll be forever recommending you and look forward to keeping in touch.

The short version:

Scott Sachs and the Synergy team are knowledgable, responsive, and the absolute best. You will not be disappointed!

The long version:

Scott Sachs is a freaking national treasure. I'm erecting a small monument to him in my gorgeous backyard in my new home.

My wife and I first worked with Scott 8 years ago, when he got us into an under priced condo in upper NW DC. To be clear, it was a giant dump - but we saw Scott's vision for what it could be. He is a renovation swami. Lo and behold, 6 months and several contractors later it was a beautiful and affordable home, that ultimately almost doubled in value during our 7 years living there.

As our family grew, we became ready to sell and partnered once again with Scott, who somehow managed to look younger and sharper than when we first met him.

Scott generated a ridiculous amount of interest in our home. We were are Redfin "hot home" within like one hour of posting.

The night before our big open house, I went home to straighten the artwork. Walked in, heard my fire alarms, smelled smoke, and discovered a small fire in our attic. Called 911 first, my wife second, and Scott third. The fire fighters came and addressed the fire by spraying my entire house with hundreds of gallons of water, which managed to destroy all the floors and walls.

I called Scott dumbfounded and sobbing. He dropped what he was doing and was the first one on the scene after the fire fighters left, mopping up water with towels, getting on the phone with fire damage remediation companies, and literally giving my wife a shoulder to cry on.

A short and somewhat painful 2 months later, the house was completely fixed and sold for above ask. Was it a miracle? No. It was Scott Freaking Sachs.

He went so far above and beyond the call of duty and has remained by our side as we get settled into our new home.

Consider yourself lucky if you sign with Scott and his team. We sure were.

As first time home-buyers, we had no idea what we were doing. Daniel led us through the process like a pro, answered all of our questions, and guided us through a few close calls until we found the one.

Working with Compass, we sold our townhouse on Capitol Hill in D.C. this last March. I can't stress enough how impressed we were by Compass, and specifically, Scott Sachs, and his team's approach, expertise, patience and attitude in securing and facilitating a sale that had some red-tape difficulties and unexpected delays attached to it.

We were also greatly relieved and pleased with the company's responsiveness. If a call or text was not answered at once, in person, it was returned within less than an hour, typically, a real boon in a situation that is always fraught with anxiety and stress for a seller or buyer. Scott's calm and understanding professionalism saved the day more than once. Further, Scott wisely started the asking price at a very attractive number for both buyer and seller, and then, with his impressive knowledge of the market and instinct for buyer credibility, was able to fetch a price well above and beyond the initial ask, from a reliable, problem-free buyer. (There were, in fact, more than six above-ask offers inside of four days from the Open House.)

Compass' use of all modern technologies was applied to their selling strategy, producing seamless communication with all parties concerned, as well as a stunning online virtual presentation of the house, so beautifully staged by a Compass associate company, at a very fair price.

Finally, the entire Compass team exhibited great common sense, empathy, honesty and humor throughout the transaction. We had a few very tense weeks dealing with the aforementioned administrative hassles, and Scott's team got us through. They were always up-to-date and involved in all relevant info, and really did hold our hands right up to the closing and beyond. I often had to chastise Scott for working eight day a week, but he can't be stopped. You just can't go wrong working with this company. There is not one fool or scoundrel among them! Thank you, Compass, for your work and effort on our behalf. You got us through a real tough time and left us with healthier bank accounts than we've ever had before! I recommend this firm with no hesitation whatsoever.

We were introduced to Scott through old friends and thank goodness for that. We immediately liked him and when we toured our first house, he was quick to point out major issues with drainage and with windows in the property that needed to be replaced, which made us trust him from the beginning because he wasn't one of those agents that just wanted us to buy a house and be done with us. He also really listened to us when we told him what kind of layout and house we were looking for and was able to help us narrow down our list, especially since we were buying during set house hunting trips while we lived in Pittsburgh. In the midst of an insane market, he completely went to bat for us on a house and he is the primary reason we actually had an offer accepted in this current market. We know he was insanely busy but he made us feel like we were his only clients. Unfortunately though, he is a Caps fan, which means we can't give him an absolutely perfect rating...

We were so impressed with the photography and we felt the great photos really gave us a leg up in the market. Scott and his team were with us all the way through the finish line which made what is usually a stressful process much smoother. I'd recommend the Synergy Group at Compass to anyone looking to work with true professionals.

If you are looking for a real estate agent in the DC-area who is savvy, accessible and willing to go the extra mile, Scott Sachs is your man. My family has worked with Scott Sachs on five real estate purchase and sale transactions over the past 13 years and I have recommended him to dozens of friends (who also rave about him). Scott really gets to know you and your preferences, takes initiative and is always available to talk when you need him. And most importantly, we genuinely trust him and value his advice.

We recently sold a home "remotely" during the pandemic, and Scott and his team were exceptional. They handled everything without us needing to return to the property--all contractors and touch-up work, staging furniture, showings, etc.--and most importantly we ended up selling the home at a price we were very happy with!

That's just one example of how Scott goes above and beyond. Several years ago we were considering purchasing a home a bit farther outside of the DC area and Scott was always able to either get us access to a property or drive much further than usual to meet us there.

Over the past decade-plus, Scott has really honed his craft. He has a great eye for spotting potential issues and has a solid network of contractors and service providers who can ballpark how much something might cost to fix. He is a great negotiator and all-around nice and fun person to work with. He'll get the job done and make it as pleasant of an experience as possible!

We retained Scott Sachs of Synergy to sell our home of 33 years. Scott and his team provided exceptional service, from recommending a move concierge to help us downsize to the moving company to the contractor who helped with painting to the stager. He helped us plan and schedule the preparation required to put the house on the market and gave us good advice on pricing and marketing. They really know the north Arlington housing market and how to present a house for sale. The exceptional marketing turned the sale in a weekend during January - typically a challenging time in the home market - with multiple offers.

We found Daniel to be intimately familiar with the neighborhoods we were looking to buy in. He was able to speak at ease about local restaurants, parks, infrastructure, schools, etc. There seemingly wasn't any question he couldn't answer - most he could answer immediately on the spot. While giving us some latitude to see properties above (and below) our target budget, we found that he was always accurate in predicting selling price and was able to gently situate us where we needed to be in the market. His schedule was flexible and he was always on time.

I highly, highly recommend that you work with Scott Sachs as your agent if you are in the hunt for a new home. Scott is friendly and personable. He's professional and extremely knowledgeable about the DMV area; he's not pushy and is always honest, he'll look out for your best interest and is an excellent negotiator. Scott is patient and willing to put in the work needed for the house hunting journey which can be frustrating, long and difficult, especially in the DMV. During our interview with Scott, we mentioned that diversity was very important to us, and he was not only respectful of that but was familiar with the areas that met our requirements. No matter your background, Scott will be able to find you a home that meets your comfort level and the vision you have for you and your family.

A quick example of how accommodating Scott is for his clients: When we finally settled on a new home, we wanted to purchase furniture ahead of time so that it would be delivered around the time we moved in but we didn't have any floor plans and couldn't get them from the county yet since we weren't officially the owners (closing wasn’t for another couple of weeks or so). We made an appointment with Scott to visit the home again so that we could record the measurements we needed. By time we got to the house, Scott was already there and actually taking the time to measure and draw out the floor plans all on his own, for us, by hand. We were surprised and very grateful.

Go with this guy, you won’t regret it.

Daniel was beyond helpful with my condo search, and purchase, in DC. He is simply great. He knows the area well and has a good sense of home quality because of his architecture and design background. During the search he was incredibly responsive and answered all my questions in plain English. He gave great recommendations and I ended up getting a place that ticked all the boxes and was under budget. He has checked in a number of times post-purchase to make sure everything is ship shape. All around professional, cheerful, and ready to help. Found him through a friend who he assisted with another condo purchase in the DC area. Would definitely recommend, and I certainly plan to hire him for my next purchase or sale.

We worked with Daniel and Synergy Group to purchase a home this year and we couldn't be happier with their service! As first time homebuyers we were very happy with the high levels of responsiveness and his ability to quickly resolve all of our requests and questions. This is especially important when houses are going under contract within just a few days of listing - it's key that you're able to review the listing, book a time to see it, discuss comps, pricing, etc, and submit an offer on a very limited timeframe. You definitely need a quality team on your side to be competitive and they provided that for us. Daniel kept up his amazing levels of service through (and even after) closing with helping us navigate and orchestrate the entire process. We would strongly recommend Daniel and everyone at Synergy Group!

Our Washington, DC Realtor, Scott Sachs of the Synergy Group was recommended through our condo management company. I needed someone I could totally trust because the condo was in DC, we live in Maine and the pandemic was raging so travel was restricted. I also needed someone who would return calls and keep me updated on the property. Scott was the perfect Realtor for us. As soon as we signed the contract, he took charge! He oversaw repairs and maintenance on the property, had it professionally cleaned and painted and hired and oversaw staging operations. Finally, he had professional photos taken. When ready, the condo looked fantastic and I joked I was having second thoughts about selling. His online postings were beautiful and received many views. Scott collected and used metrics to gauge the market and even obtained feedback from those who actually viewed the condo in person. The property sold at an excellent price and the cash was in my account the day of closing. There is no doubt the reason the property sold at such a high price was Scott and his very able and friendly Operations Manager, Kristen. They literally did all the work and were wonderful! It was a real pleasure working with them.

Daniel was a pleasure to work with and went above and beyond simply leading us through the home-buying and -selling process. Searching for a first house can be very stressful — Daniel's diverse knowledge of the DMV area and overall market gave us confidence at each step. He's a great communicator and aside from being readily available, explained the nuances of making and receiving offers clearly and effectively. His experience is also evident on the selling-side. A strategic marketing approach helped us move forward with an offer at full asking-price within a quick timeline. We couldn't be more grateful to have had Daniel on our team in this competitive housing market.

We hired Daniel Schuler to sell our small apartment in Washington DC. Of all the real estate agents we interviewed, Daniel is certainly the most experienced and has completely understood our needs from the start. With his help we received an offer corresponding to the asking price after 5 days we put the apartment on the market and finally sold the apartment in less than 1 month at a price per square foot higher than the price of any other apartment sold in the area. We were so pleased with Daniel's performance, professionalism and friendly approach, as well as with the Synergy Group staff, that we decided to ask him to help us find our dream home as well. Our search was particularly challenging as we were looking for a fixer upper near the city at a reasonable price. During this process we soon realized that Daniel is not only a fantastic real estate agent, but also very knowledgeable about construction and gave us very important advice on the issues encountered when he showed us the houses that helped us with our latest pick. With his help we have managed to find our dream home in a fantastic location and successfully compete in this aggressive market. We highly recommend Daniel for the sale and purchase of your dream home. Daniel Schuler is certainly the best real estate agent in the area.

We worked with Scott on our first home purchase. He was very professional, guided us through the entire process, knows the area very well and gives you the pros and cons to thoroughly help you through selection, putting down an offer, inspections and settlement. He also helped us call the competing offer's bluff and helped us get the home at the price we wanted. He helped the entire process be a smooth & happy ride. Would highly recommend. Also, working with my Gator alum is always a plus! #gatornation

I have known Daniel for years and he was my go to when I decided I wanted to buy a home. He set me up with a few different lenders that he works with often and it was a very quick process. We found the perfect house within a few days and got the house with no problem.

It was a very smooth transaction and Daniel and his team took care of everything.

This was my first home purchase and having the knowledge and experience in my court was very helpful and made the process stress free!

I knew Daniel from a few different friends who have used him through the house buying and selling process. I gave a pretty broad idea of what I was looking for within a location and he was able to run with it! He got me all set up and always made time to discuss options as well as seeing different properties. Was able to find a house fairly quickly and with Daniels help beat out three other offers without having to play back and forth just from the fact that he came so prepared with what it would take to get which was a big priority of mine. 30 days from acceptance to close and him and Kristin took care of everything and I never had one single issue. Plus his contacts for everything you need to get the house and update is unparalleled, from landscaping, insurance, carpentry, painting etc. Highly recommend Daniel and all of the Synergy Group!

We cannot say enough amazing things about Scott. He is thorough, honest, and EXTREMELY knowledgeable about the area and overall process. He is genuine and truly cares about getting the best offer for his clients. We have already recommended Scott to a couple friends, and we will continue doing so. Thank you, thank you!

We've used Scott three times (buyer's agent, buyer's and seller's agent, and seller's agent, respectively). Each time, he's been above and beyond amazing. For our most recent home sale, he was even out in the mid-Summer weather, in dress clothes, helping us lay mulch before the listing pictures were taken. We had showings rolling in as soon as the listing went live, and we were under contract in less than a week. Through the process, Scott was our constant advocate, and if we ever need an agent in the DMV, we know exactly who we're going to call.

Scott is incredible at his job! He was attentive, responsive, kind and knowledgable. He sold our house for our dream price before it even went to the market. Since helping us sell our house in record time we have referred him to multiple friends and will continue to do so. We are impressed with Scott and his team!

As first-time homebuyers, my wife and I knew that we needed an experienced professional to guide us through the buying process from search to close. Scott Sachs, who has more passion for real estate than anyone we’ve ever met, was that for us and so much more. Not only did his intimate knowledge of the local real estate market help to quickly narrow down our list of target neighborhoods, but never did we feel like Scott was trying to force us into an unattractive purchase for his own benefit. Instead, he was patient with us, adapted to our evolving preferences, and was always available to answer any questions we had (and we had many). Scott was also a vital voice of reason—managing our expectations and guiding us through delicate negotiations—understanding the importance of a fair deal. Most importantly, Scott provided us with the comfort we needed to navigate an already complex process, made even more so by the COVID-19 pandemic. From socially distant walk throughs to guiding us through our closing step-by-step, Scott’s professionalism and empathy brought us much needed peace of mind. If you want someone who will always make you feel like you’re his only client, who has the patience and energy to find you the perfect home, and will do so with a positive attitude matched by few others, then you have to go with Scott.

I worked with Daniel to sell my townhouse in Silver Spring, and I could not be happier. We sold for far more than we ever expected, and did so quickly. Daniel was key in making sure the place was ready for market to sell quick with no headaches. He also worked to maximize our appraisal value, ensuring we got top dollar. Highly recommend.

Scott is a fantastic broker! He is a very skilled negotiator and great to work with. He asked thoughtful questions and always gave his honest opinion on a house, even if it meant the home search would take a bit longer. He is also a lot of fun to be with. We laughed a lot and it made the home buying experiment enjoyable!

The bar has been set very high by Daniel and The Synergy Group. From start to finish Daniel was there to guide us through the entire home buying process with an infectious energy and positive attitude. His extensive knowledge about his industry is impressive and was extremely valuable to us as first time home buyers, who naturally had a million questions.

Daniel is straight forward, clear, trustworthy, and supportive which are also traits to describe their Operations Manager Kristin who provided amazing support to keep our closing on schedule. We are extremely happy and couldn't have asked for a better home buying experience with Daniel and The Synergy Group!

Scott is the consummate professional, his end-to-end knowledge of the uniquely sophisticated and fast paced housing market surrounding the D.C. area is present in every step of the process.

I could talk at length about the recent sale of our home which was driven by Scott’s tenacity and work ethic. From the moment Scott first walked through our home to the moment the transaction closed, Scott was intimately involved. Scott guided us through updates and renovations, design choices and staging, contractor recommendations and fair market list pricing (which he drastically surpassed all expectations). At no time was a decision made where Scott was not consulted or involved, yet not once did Scott push his opinions on us. He simply laid out all options to help us make the most informed and financially beneficial decision we could.

However, it’s Scott’s true intangibles that set him apart from his fellow peers and other professionals. Scott’s ability to blend his professional yet compassionate approach to the real estate process is unmatched. You will realize very quickly that not only are you gaining an unmatched asset but you will be gaining a life long friend.

My wife and I were purchasing our first home and decided to use Scott to help us with this process. We couldn't have been more happy or pleased with that choice. The fact that my wife and I were new to this whole home buying process made us both a bit nervous and unsure of all the terms and overall process, but Scott helped us completely feeling comfortable with this whole process. Scott was great with educating us with certain terms we didn't understand, keeping us updated on potential homes that fit our criteria, and going above and beyond making sure this process was right for us. What stood out the most for me was the fact that Scott truly listens to the client and makes sure they get the house that is WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR.
Once we found a home and began the purchasing process, Scott kept us in the loop in regards to communicating with our lender, making sure any forms we needed to address were met and helping us meet all requirements upon closing.
Scott overall made this process easy and understanding. I would honestly recommend any home buyer, especially a first time home buyer, to use Scott as their agent.

My husband and I were first-time homebuyers and our experience with Scott was wonderful. He was so patient with our many questions, and guided us with his expertise and deep knowledge of the real-estate market. Thanks to Scott, we felt we were in the best hands and could weigh many factors while making our decision. Scott is very good at immediately spotting a good deal, and also at pointing out drawbacks that we missed when we viewed homes. He was very responsive, and we had a very smooth experience working with him to find our dream home. We managed to find a great deal well within our budget and can't be happier that he was our agent. Scott is also very funny, amiable, and respectful. We never felt rushed or pressured to make any decisions and always felt he had our best interests in mind at all times. We highly recommend Scott Sachs and wish him and his team at The Synergy Group the best!

Scott is incredibly friendly. He recently helped us buy our new home and sell our current house, and during the entire process, he was helpful and understanding. He is also very responsive, which made us feel like we had an ally during the entire process. I would highly recommend him. His knowledge of the entire DC metro area coupled with the ease of working with him, makes him a excellent choice.

We've worked with Scott Sachs through two home buys & one sale, most recently with The Synergy Group. We couldn't be more satisfied with how things went. He's very responsive, knowledgable about local markets, up to date on current trends and a tactical negotiator. We've recommend him to friends who have also been very satisfied.

Scott is an amazing realtor. I have had the pleasure of working with him as a buyer twice now and he goes above and beyond. In the first deal, he did a lot of work helping locate the right house and advising through the offer. In the second deal, there were issues post-close on which he worked just as deftly and diligently. Both properties were in DC -- one a house and one a condo, and he did an amazing job on both deals and continues to be a resource. I could not recommend him more highly.

Daniel is hands down the best realtor I have ever worked with.....and this is saying a lot since I am retired military and have bought and sold (way too) many houses and done 20+ moves over the past 30 years. He knows and continually assesses the market, listens to his customer, is whip smart on the finance options, and is a superb negotiator. Because of Daniel, we were perfectly positioned with the RIGHT escalation approach, which was a fleeting Goldilocks moment: not too much, not too little, but JUST right! We would not have gotten the house had we been working with someone else. On top of that, he can assess upgrade/repair costs like a general contractor, which is enormously helpful for post-contract budget planning. Going with Daniel as your realtor is s slam-dunk. Don't even think about going with anyone else!

It's hard to know where to start with praise when it comes to my home buying/selling experience with Daniel Schuler. I am lucky enough to have worked with him for 2 home purchases (including my first family home) and one home sale and could not be happier with how smooth he made these processes. Daniel is able to wear so many different hats and provide litany of valuable advice based on both his experience as a professional, but also a homeowner himself. Whether it was a question about home loans, interior design, home inspection, or renovation, Daniel always had an educated and knowledgeable answer. He made himself available to me and my wife seemingly 24/7 to answer any question, no matter how small, and in an extremely competitive housing market in the DMV area Daniel was always willing to make time to help us see a home even on the shortest of notice. I would be remiss if I also did not add that during the exceedingly unsettling COVID 19 pandemic, one in which we were trying to navigate a move with our 2 year old, Daniel provided a stable, comforting hand. We simply could not have pulled it off without him. When it comes down to it, every path Daniel has guided us down and recommendation he has made for us when it comes to real estate has ended up paying off in spades for my family over the course of our 5-year relationship.

I simply don’t have the time to list all the good things I could say about Daniel. He is a professional in every sense of the word, he is knowledgeable well beyond his years, and he cares about his clients, their homes and their prospective homes as if they were his own.

Thank you Daniel for everything you have done for me and my family, and I look forward to continuing our relationship in the years to come.
