Our realtor Kevin not only assisted us in finding our home in Vienna in 2009, but when we were relocated in 2013 he assisted us in selling our home. Outstanding service - highly recommend. Our home sold in less than two weeks!

We met Kevin at one of the open houses, where he was the listing agent. We were very impressed by his knowledge about the market and decided to set up a meeting with him to work as the buying agent for us. Kevin is very responsive to our questions and requests. He has a superb negotiation skill. He understands what we need and what the seller values. It helps find ways to negotiate best in a competitive market like Vienna. We are glad to have Kevin on our side to present us. If you need a buyer agent, Kevin Kleifges is who you should get to represent you! Less

Terry impressed us from the very beginning. As we interviewed realtors to represent us, he stood out as very knowlegable about the market and what was and was not in the realm of the possible. It was easy to choose him from the others. Then, everything he predicted happened. This is a real pro telling you what would happen. We sold the house in two days to very well qualified buyers for 97% of our asking price and that was knowing the "comparables" were often a bit newer on bigger lots. The hardest part was dealing with a difficult buyer's realtor. Terry was a pro and the other person was not. He got us past that. We went from being on the market to closing in 28 days. Incredible. Glad we had Terry on our side. If you need a realtor - Terry Belt is who you should get to represent you. Less

Recently, Gail Belt and the Belt Team (original founder of the Belt Team) sold a high end house and condominium for me. We received expert knowledge, complete back office support, creative contract pricing and negotiating, and both deals done in a short period of time. Gail and her team know how to get the job done, have high energy, provide constant feedback, and don't stop until your are completely satisfied. The Belt Team equals the best in the business!

I highly recommend Kevin Kleifges! Kevin was extremely pro-active and patient. It took a month from the listing and closing of my house. During the process, he resolved a few major issues and suggested good advice/backup plans at every stage. He was very prompt and showed good negotiation skills to look after my interest. He was always available to answer my questions at anytime, he was very knowledgeable about "what" sells the house, did open house a few times, managed to receive an offer within a week from the listing!

My husband and I moved to the Northern VA area and didn't know the area well. We met Krissy at an open house and loved her personality and knowledge. We recently closed on our house in Fairfax. Krissy was always available to see homes and did a great job at getting to know us and what we were looking for. She was a pleasure to work with, and I've already recommended her to other people we've met in the area.

Jennifer was great with locating another home for us and we did not have to worry about anything! You cannot go wrong working with Mary Jane Perry and Jennifer Riddle and this I promise!

I am a repeat client, seller and buyer, with The Belt Team. Most recently I purchased a new home. Pauline Knipe is very, very knowledgeable about the local real estate market and is a superior asset to have when working through the sometimes highly charged and fast paced real estate process. I enjoyed working with her and members of the support team. I am glad that I found a new home home but am going to miss everyone! I very much recommend checking with Pauline and The Belt Team when decided to sell and/or buy - you will be very satisfied. Less

I worked with Krissy Cruse of The Belt Team to find my home. As a first time home buyer I did not have the first clue about purchasing a home. I had a very tight deadline to find something and Krissy made herself very available to show me different options. Once I found my home, Krissy was very patient and walked me through the entire process. I had a lot of questions and she always had answers almost immediately. She really helped me to understand what was going on and kept me in the loop with all the back and forth with the sellers. Krissy was really great to work with and everything happened right on schedule (we actually pushed up the close!). I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home in Northern Virginia! Less

Unlike many older generation agents she is of the new school. Very knowledgeable in using mobile home search platforms and could give me an answer to my questions immediately. She almost always answers her phone and if she didnt' know the answer she would find out for me right away. Very professional and she works with one of the top real estate teams in the DC area.

I have previously worked with a large firm earlier in the summer and the Belt team provided a successful ending with less stress. I was selling my home and trying to purchase a short sale. Kevin wasn't experienced with short sales, but he never tried to convince me to go the easy path and used his resources to make the short sale as success. I would recommend Kevin to other clients.

It was three years ago since Gail Belt helped us buy a home. My wife's mom was a realtor in California, and her office interviewed 3 different realtors in the area, and based on that interview over the phone, recommended Gail hands-down. It was the best possible recommendation we could imagine. We were living in China at the time, and moving back to the DC area. A few months before our move back, my wife came back to Vienna to look at homes with Gail. They found one, but it was not an ordinary situation, since the buyers had not listed the home. So, Gail very professionally handled the entire sale, and most of it while we were driving en route back from the west coast. With dozens of phone calls, faxes, writing up contingencies and handling all negotiations with the Seller, Gail made a relatively complicated deal go through. We have bought and sold 5 different homes. Our experience with Gail, and the entire Belt Team was just superb - professional, knowledgeable, long-time residents and respected in this community, and willing to truly go 'the extra mile'. Less

We were first time homebuyers who had done a lot of homework, but Mary Jane was there every step of the way to explain anything we had questions about. She even took time out of her vacation to help us close the deal on our new house, and without her efforts, who knows what house we would be in now? She was very gracious with her time and expertise, and never once left us in the dark.

Kevin Kleifges of the Belt Team was referred to me by my credit union. He did an excellent job helping me find a house the met my needs, with respect to price, size, and proximity to my son's school. Kevin's "no pressure" approach was exactly what I needed. He supplied me with listings of dozens of homes that met my criteria. After I visited a few open houses and explored the neighborhood, Kevin discussed with me in detail my reactions to what I had seen. He then showed me several homes and helped me narrow the search down to the one that was right for me. From contract negotiations to closing, Kevin offered sound advice and laid out all of the options available to me. His knowledge of the market was outstanding.

We knew that choosing a Realtor to work with would be one of THE most important steps in the process of selling our home. Especially in today's challenging market, it was important to find somebody who really knows the ups and downs of the local market, and who is professional and completely available to us and our many questions and concerns. Pauline Knipe from The Belt Team has been all of this and much more! As a Realtor, Pauline could not have been more professional and knowledgeable. She promptly responded to our many queries and concerns, and she was full of wonderful advice about how best to prepare our home for marketing. Additionally, Pauline is backed up by a wonderful team. Tara, who works in the office, was expert at staying on top of the administrative paperwork, which is voluminous! The photographer who came to our home was very talented, and cast our home in the best possible light. The brochures, etc., were high-quality and beautifully written. Finally, I know that the people who make up The Belt Team have a very high level of integrity. They do not need to sink to the level of being "sharks" to achieve the best possible outcome. We had two competing offers on our home in a matter two days, and we closed the sale within about 40 days. All this in a 'down' market! I would heartily recommend The Belt Team, and specifically Pauline Knipe, to anybody looking to buy or sell a home. I only wish she were available to follow us down to Fredericksburg and help us with our home purchase down there! Less

I was impressed with the Belt Team's general professionalism from start to finish, and with the professionalism of our agent, Pauline Knipe, in particular. Our property was probably one of the least expensive listings on the Belt Team's roster, but we still received first-class service. This meant that anytime we had a question, Pauline responded within minutes. She put our listing onto multiple sites to make sure people would see us, and had a professional photographer take pictures - our house never looked so good! We did have some cosmetic work to do, but Pauline only made suggestions that were in line with our budget. Pauline's pricing and marketing strategy were spot-on, and we accepted an offer within just 5 weeks (no open houses required). We had attempted to sell our place a few years earlier with agents who did none of these things, and the house never sold or really even had viewings. Therefore, I feel pretty confident in attributing our home's sale in a tough market to the professional approach and care of the Belt Team and Pauline Knipe. Less

The seller wanted to wait, but Kevin negotiated a decision within 24 hours to help alleviate any competition. This beat the open house scheduled for the next day and enabled me and my wife to get the house we fell in love with. Kevin asked the seller all the questions I never thought to ask, and genuinely had my best interest at heart. The behind-the-scenes team also assisted us with our inspections, closing, and move prep.

We can't say enough good things about Pauline Knipe and the Belt Team! We worked with Pauline for about a year and a half to find a home for our family. Pauline was wonderful -- always responsive and available, and always had our best interests in mind. Pauline has a great way with people, and we felt confident having her represent us to others. She was able to negotiate savings for us at settlement that we had never even considered. We very strongly recommend Pauline to anyone looking to buy or sell. Out of all the realtors we have interacted with, no other realtor comes close to Pauline and the Belt Team. She is the best!! Less

We highly recommend Pauline Knipe and the Belt Team. She helped us sell our existing home and buy a new one (both in Vienna) in the spring of 2009, close to the bottom of the real estate market. Pauline's detailed knowledge of the Vienna market was incredibly helpful in both preparing our home for sale and negotiating for the new one. She was very easy to work with, always available and good-natured even when things got a little stressful. The "marketing" folks at the Belt Team were also great...they prepared what we thought was a first class brochure and listing for our home. We would gladly work with Pauline and the Belt Team again.

The Belt Team is fabulous! I worked with Pauline Knipe, and I would highly recommend her. She is organized, thorough, knowledgeable, and just really wonderful to work with. She actually made the whole process fun for me. (that's saying a lot) You really can't go wrong with anyone on this team, especially Pauline.

We used Pauline Knipe from the Belt Team to sell our Vienna home. We had been in the home for 18 years, so this was our first real estate transaction in a very long time. Pauline's professional approach and sound advice made it a much easier experience than I expected. We sold the home in seven days, even in this tough market. While we didn't get exactly the price we wanted, we did get a fair price given the circumstances. Pauline negotiated with the sellers agent for all home inspection items ensuring that we only had to respond to a few of the most critical. I would definitely use Pauline and the Belt Team again and I'd recommend them highly to anyone selling a home in Vienna. Less

Kevin K was great. We met Kevin at an open house in an area we were interested in. Did not buy that house, but Kevin was able to show us two houses in the same neighborhood that were not on the market and we bought one of them. Talk about local knowledge! The Seller did not have an agent so Kevin worked extra hard to manage the buying process with only one agent. On the sale side, Kevin worked closely with us to figure out the best way to sell our house (pricing, work to be done prior to listing, etc) given our situation that we had bought and house with no home sale contingency. Home looked great and was ready to go and then Kevin and the Belt team were able to bring an offer prior to listing that exceeded our expectations in terms of price and closing date. Kevin is a great agent to work with especially if you are looking for Vienna expertise. Less

After spending 2 long and horrible months with an agent we'd found online, we were blessed with the help and real estate expertise of Mary Jane Perry and The Belt Team! Mary Jane always came prepared with comparables in the area, knew exactly what to look for, was quick to act, and someone we could trust to help us purchase our first home. Being first-time buyers, we weren't sure what to expect, and the processes involved, but she had the patience and dedication to make our first experience the best one possible! We would, and continue to recommend Mary Jane and the rest of the Belt Team to all of our friends and family. They are absolutely THE BEST!!!!!!! Less

Pauline Knipe with the The Belt Team is AWSOME. We recently relocated to the Northern Virginia area from Southern California and as such we had very little time to find a suitable house to buy which met my family's needs and most importantly my price range. Having initially worked with another firm/realtor, I had become very frustrated, discouraged and disappointed that I was unable to locate/purchase a home. Within weeks of switching firms/realtors (i.e. to the The Belt Team with Pauline Knipe), I was able to find the perfect house within my budget and in a time frame that worked for me and my family in our relocation schedule to the Northern Virginia area. If you need a realtor who can "do it all" and take the frustration out of buying a home, I highly recommend Pauline Knipe and The Belt Team. Less

After having our condo in Oakton, Va on the market for six months and listed with another agent, we decided to change to Pauline Knipe and the Belt Team. Prior to the change, we had very little interest from buyers and, because we lived across the country, we were quite frustrated. From the moment I interviewed Pauline, I felt that she would do whatever it took to sell our condo. She made recommendations about getting the condo in tip-top shape and we even remodeled out kitchen. She arranged for contractors, painters, housekeepers and was there for the entire process, including waiting for deliveries of appliances. Pauline was extremely professional and kept us posted every step of the way. She sold our condo 31 days after the listing went active. The Belt Team answered all of our questions and the paperwork involved was handled easily, thanks to them. We are extremely grateful to Pauline and the Belt Team. They exceeded our expectation in a really slow time in the housing market. Less

We bought our townhouse long-distance. We chose Mary Jane Perry as our real estate agent because of her personal experiences with a highly mobile life-style. She was completely supportive of our time frame. She pre-screened the houses that were our top choices from the listing and sent us detailed evaluations of them, then arranged a whirlwind half-day tour. Mary Jane also oversaw a complex inspection process for us. We appreciate that Mary Jane sought advice from other members of the Belt Team when necessary and the Belt Team has all the technology so that we were able to complete all our paperwork (except the closing) electronically. Without Mary Jane and the Belt Team, finding and purchasing our home wouldn't have been possible. Less

We couldn't have hand picked a better real estate agent then Pauline Knipe of The Belt Team when we decided to sell our townhouse and buy a single family house both located in Vienna. Her and her team exceeded all our expectations on assisting us on both the buy and sell side of our real estate transactions. Pauline was available any time we needed her, and her knowledge of both the local real estate market and the whole transactions process in general was very effective in helping us close both deals.

We lived in Vienna, Virginia, for seven years before we decided to sell our house and move closer to family in Florida. We did not know any local Vienna Realtors so we interviewed four. All four Realtors were professional and knowledgeable, but one Realtor definitely stood out above the rest...Pauline Knipe from "The Belt Team." She was very professional, organized and for sure the most knowledgeable about the Vienna housing market and neighborhood. What we found most interesting was that all four Realtors gave us a different starting price to list our house and the range from the lowest to highest suggestion was $65K, which is significant. This led us to do even further research to determine whose market research was most accurate. We asked our neighbors and friends about all four Realtors and researched them online. We found out that two of our neighbors had used "The Belt Team" in the past and were very happy with their choice and overall experience. "The Belt Team's" suggested list price was the third highest of all four Realtors but obviously was spot on. We got a contract on our house the first weekend it was listed and got asking price for it!!! "The Belt Team" truly is a TEAM. We have never seen a Realtor/Team do so much. They have dedicated people doing specific tasks throughout the whole process, which makes everything a lot more efficient and effective. Pauline Knipe was our Realtor and she is as friendly and responsive as they come!! We honestly have never had an easier time selling or buying a house as we did with "The Belt Team." I would recommend them to anyone! Less

I used Mary Jane Perry when I bought my first home. I was new to all of this and probably sent Mrs. Perry close to 20 emails per day. Mrs. Perry was supportive and very informative with all of my concerns. When it was time to make an offer she educated me on several issues regarding home ownership. Mrs. Perry was truly a joy to work with and I will, without a doubt, be smoothly her services when it is time for me to purchase another home. I cannot imagine how stressful things would have been without her. I highly recommend Mrs. Perry or anyone from The Belt Team. Thanks, Pat Less
