Tammy Gruner Durbin has been my real estate agent since 1994. I say that as I might refer to a trusted health care provider as “my fill in the blank.” I trust Tammy for the best sales or purchase experience and outcome. She applies her good sense, her knowledge and her acumen —all part of her unique brand— to every transaction. I’ve recommended her to several friends who assert the same.

Tammy was our real estate agent for the sale of our home in Glen Echo Heights. We were in our home for 30 years. It was a challenging and emotional process deciding to sell the house and getting it ready to put on the market, and Tammy was great through it all. She was patient with us while we went back and forth on whether to sell, and once we made the decision, Tammy jumped into action, lining up her contractors to paint, refinish the floors, lay new carpeting, landscaping, and staging the house. The contractors were great. The house was on the market for 5 days. We received multiple offers and settled three weeks later. Overall, it was a great experience due in large part to Tammy’s knowledge and experience.

Excellence is hard to find. We found it with Tammy Gruner Durbin. Tammy provided our family with indispensable guidance, support, and professionalism while selling our home of 43 years in Fort Sumner. Tammy’s attention to detail, her responsiveness, knowledge of the market and her warmth make her an amazing partner. Selling your home is an incredibly emotional experience. Tammy walked us through with care. We couldn’t have managed the myriad details of this move without her! We highly recommend Tammy Gruner Durbin for your residential real estate needs.

This is the 5th time we have moved home and Tammy is the best real estate agent we have ever worked with. She is highly responsive, organized, detail oriented, knowledgeable and balances sensible advice with strong client advocacy. Her excellent negotiation skills are obviously rooted in strong local knowledge and multiple economic cycles, which served us well. I highly recommend her.

Tammy was fantastic to work with in getting my house ready and sold in record time at a great price! She is a consummate professional, who is very knowledgeable, incredibly resourceful, always available with wonderful taste and understanding of market demands. She is hands on with no detail or task too much in making sure the house was perfect and ready. Tammy has great marketing sense and is very service oriented in encouraging buyer interests. She also helped in my transition to a new place after the sale. I will absolutely seek Tammy’s help again in buying/selling real estate in DC/MD area.

We recently worked with Tammy on the sale of our home after 20 years. From beginning to end Tammy was professional, responsive, and a calming voice in what can be a stressful time. She was a great resource for identifying improvements to maximize the sale price. She promptly answered all our questions and addressed all of our concerns. She is great at doing the necessary research and identifying the proper list price in order to drive the most traffic to the house. We ended up with multiple offers on the first day the house was listed that exceeded our expectations. We can't recommend Tammy highly enough.

We had the privilege and pleasure of working with Tammy for over two years in a challenging real estate climate when our dream house came on the market.  Tammy facilitated the sale of our new home, as well as our previous one.  In both cases, Tammy was able to help us understand the financial details with results that exceeded our expectations.  Tammy is the consummate professional.  She accommodated our schedules, was available whenever we needed her; and always handled matters deftly, with great care and attention.  We had complete confidence in Tammy throughout the entire process.  Not only do we feel we chose an outstanding agent, but she is a thoroughly delightful person who made the process enjoyable.

Tammy Durbin is a true beacon of light in a very competitive, complex real estate market in the DMV area. There are not enough stars to do justice to the glowing recommendation she deserves. They say moving is one those major life events that truly causes people undue stress. Buying a condo in Montgomery County and then changing jobs and selling it the height of the pandemic was an incredibly difficult thing for me. Tammy helped me navigate every step as if my problems were her own. I am a teacher and despite a tight budget, she helped me take each step, slowly yet confidently, making all things seem possible because, in the end, under her guidance, they were. She truly walked the journey with me, constantly offering sound advice on everything from mortgage insurance, title companies, negotiations with other agents, and even the woes of working with the Montgomery County government. She approached all aspects of the process with efficiency and grace and even shielded me from some of the added stressors that arose during negotiations between agents. No detail was left unturned. There are actually not words to describe just how incredible Tammy is. She is the person you want by your side when walking through any real estate adventures. Her knowledge, expertise, wisdom, and "get-the-job-done" mentality cannot be matched.

Tammy was my agent in purchasing my home in 1995 and so it was not surprising she was my first choice to sell it 25 years later. We decided to sell and relocate to our second home full time outside the DC area when we realized that traveling for work had ended likely for years. What Tammy brought as a trusted advisor was a strategy on pricing, staging, landscaping and the sales process that yielded a very quick sale significantly over our fair asking price. Tammy helped us not only through the process and the transaction but some of the inevitable emotional hurdles in selling a home you have lived in for so long. I would strongly recommend Tammy Gruner Durbin to anyone buying or selling a home.

Tammy was recommended to us by a trusted friend and we were so grateful for the recommendation. Moving to the DMV from New England, we came to house hunting in Maryland without a great deal of familiarity of the various neighborhoods, typical housing stock in each area, and the benefits and resources available to each area we explored. Tammy was a terrific guide and helped us not only find a wonderful home, but get oriented to the area. She was also really easy to work with, from afar, and was very accommodating to our schedule when we were able to be in the area to house hunt in person. To help us get oriented, we saw many houses and she was always patient and cheerful with us. We can't recommend Tammy enough. Call her today!

" Tammy is an amazing agent and we highly recommend her. She is highly organized with a strong plan. We had four strong offers and signed a contract for more than the asking price within five days of listing! We met with Tammy when we were first considering selling our home. She walked us through all the steps, explained her plan and told us what to expect. Then we walked through our home are were given suggestions on what adjustments/fixes to make. She recommended good contractors to do repair work and would have acted as project manager if we needed it. She recommended staging which really highlighted the best features of our home. She also brought in other brokers to get their opinion on the asking price. Importantly, she understood our anxiety as we were preparing to sell and worked to calm our nerves. This woman is top notch and we could not have been happier with her service and with the result. " - John and Sharon Kneiss

Tammy did a fantastic job in helping us sell our property. Her professionalism, integrity, dedication, responsiveness and tremendous knowledge of the real estate market in the area were key to a successful and pleasant experience. She is a very seasoned real estate agent and was available around the clock to provide answers and referrals for anything we needed in order to position our home for selling. Tammy advised and helped us through every stage of the process, from preparing the property to go on the market to closing. Her guidance on the repairs, painting, landscaping, and staging was critical and her marketing strategy was excellent, resulting in multiple offers in only 3 days without an open house. The property sold above the asking price and closed quickly. We highly recommend her! - Maria

"We first met Tammy Durbin when she showed an open house which we ended up purchasing. Later, when we needed an agent to sell our home of 36 years, Tammy was the obvious choice. In all aspects of representation, she proved to be knowledgeable, professional, thorough, and responsive to our needs and concerns. We would recommend Tammy to anyone ready to buy or sell a home.

"Tammy Durbin did a marvelous job of helping us find our new home in a search that took over six months. We had a very particular set of criteria which did not phase her at all. She toured multiple houses with us, and eventually we found exactly the right house. Her guidance during the bidding process was excellent. She was right with us the whole way from the inspection and the contractor visits to the closing. " - Elaine

Thank you Tammy! Selling our house in the beginning of a global pandemic was an unknown and Tammy provided the most spectacular virtual tour of our home that facilitated a sale with multiple offers within 6 days of listing! Tammy coordinated all the closing tasks with ease and grace and made the entire process less stressful than I ever would have imagined. I would highly recommend Tammy for her real estate knowledge, commitment to her clients, tenacity, and grace. - Julie
