I have nothing but great things to say about the Jennifer Young Home Team. Every step along the way, we felt that they had our best interest at heart. When things hit a snag (a couple times with buyers and the bank), the team patiently guided us. We would like to give a special thanks to Leslie and Edson for their patience and dedication throughout the short sale process. They never stopped working for us until the house was SOLD. I would wholeheartedly recommend the Jennifer Young Team to anyone looking at selling or buying a home. Your expectations in terms of customer service, solid track record, and sound advice will be exceeded. Less

We had a fantastic experience working with Jennifer and Lauren in the last two years. Jennifer's reading of the market is impeccable, and her strategy is superb. Lauren, as our buyer's agent, is very charming, efficient and accessible at all times. We can't be happier with the properties they helped us find!

It is with sincere appreciation and sheer relief that I write this note to express my thanks to Jennifer Young and her Team on a job well done! Jennifer Young Homes (JYH) is a top notch organization of TRUE professionals that gets the job done! As a military family, my wife and I contemplated the difficult decision to short sale our home and this was not a decision we took lightly. After contacting Jennifer, she explained in clear and concise details the short sale process, and was reassuring of this difficult choice we were considering. Her team immediately went into action and took total control of the situation and ensured we were well informed throughout the entire process. The administrative hand-off to other members on the TEAM at different stages of the short sale process was seamless. I can name each Team Member by first and last name because JYH?s process of engaging and keeping the homeowner informed is truly remarkable. The Team knows the short sale process and acted as our agent with the Lenders. To relinquish control and to not orchestrate such an important process personally is nerve-wrecking, but because of the complexity of the process you must relinquish the controls and you are in caring hands with Jennifer Young?s Team. As a client of JYH, your best interest is their top priority and they take this responsibility seriously. Do yourself a favor and call them. You will not be disappointed. We are extremely PLEASED with the outcome of our short sale process!! Less

Jennifer Young's group at Keller Williams is just AMAZING!! They took care of us through the extremely difficult short-sale process and we were able to successfully sell our property in 6 months. Their negotiator, Edson, is very experienced and had the right industry connections to get our contract approved by our leaner in record time. He was very responsive and informative throughout the entire process. Front start to finish, we felt we were in good hands with the team's coordinators, Leslie and Bethany, whom guided us through the process with thorough explanations and realistic expectations. Through this stressful process the group?s expertise and personalized instruction was very helpful and appreciated. We were extremely luckily and grateful to have found this real estate group to help finally get our home short sold. Less

The Jennifer Young Homes Team comprises of several professionals that will take care of your every need throughout the home sale process whether it be a traditional or short sale. Like most realtors, they are extremely busy, but UNLIKE most realtors, they are NOT all about the commission they make off of you. If you are responsible, responsive and communicative - they will reciprocate wholeheartedly. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is in the market for selling or buying their home. Less

The professionalism displayed by all members of the JYT was beyond reproach. Their commitment and dedication to their client was impressive and at all times kept their client abreast of any information pertinent to the sale. I doubt that any firm could have better repesented their client and acted in their best interest. I highly recommend JYT and would be first to say that if you need a firm to represent you in a short-sale, JYT is the team that you need on your side. I wish to sincerely thank every member of the team for their outstanding representation and commitment to insure client satisfaction and unparalleled service. Less

We had been in a very stressful situation for 5 years trying to work with our mortgage company after I lost my job. We finally came to the realization that the only hope we had was to sell our home via short sale. I contacted Jennifer Young Homes after visiting their website. I was a little skeptical because we had been through so much, and promised so much over the past 5 years that we dd not believe that anyone could help us. However, I felt much better after speaking with one of their agents, Leslie Resinger. Leslie made me feel more comfortable about the situation and was there with us throughout the entire process. Edson & Bethany were also very instrumental throughout the sale. We have great respect for the entire team and their knowledge and expertise. Our short sale went through very smoothly. We highly recommend Jennfier Young Homes and their incredible team for anyone's real estate needs.

Jennifer and her team were excellent in the selling of our home!! Our home was tremendously underwater and we were in dire need of a professional realtor that had experience in short sales. We are so thankful we found Jennifer and her team. Our short sale took 7 months from the listing of our home to closing. Jennifer's team was with us the entire way, keeping us updated with the very long and complicated process. Never once did we have to speak with the banks or any negotiators. The team handled all our negotiations and legal work. They fought hard in our interest. Just when I was afraid the deal would fall through, they always persisted and worked diligently to see the sale through. I would definitely recommend Jennifer Young and her team of professionals to help anyone with the sale of their home, especially if you are going through a short sale!! They are a fantastic team!!!

The Jennifer Young team did a wonderful job of helping me with my short sale! They were very knowledgable about the short sale process and kept me updated on the status of my case. They worked so hard to make the deal happen and managed to negotiate a short sale deal for me with two different banks because I had a first and a second mortgage on the property. I would definitely recommend their services to others looking to complete a short sale!

Jennifer Young's team is fantastic! I have a growing family and needed to buy a bigger home. I was underwater in my current home and needed to short sale. I dealt with my bank on my own for two years and always got passed around or was never able to speak to anyone that could make decisions. Jennifer's team knew exactly who to talk to at my bank and successfully negotiated our short sale with the best possible terms. They took care of everything. They have a team dedicated to selling short sale properties, and a person whose main focus is negotiating with banks. I wish I had gone to them sooner. They knew everything about the process. Jennifer's team also helped me buy my new house. Her agents are very knowledgeable of the Northern Virginia are, and are aggressive at negotiating the best deal. I have been telling all my friends about Jennifer Young's team. Thanks to them my family now has a bright future and the weight of an underwater property is off our shoulders. Less

This team worked constantly to get my house sold. They went above and beyond my expectations. It was a short sale with two mortgage companies and one of the mortgages got sold TWICE during the process...making everything much harder and longer. The overall process was almost 11 months long. The Jennifer Young team pulled though, got approvals and made sure that we went to closing on time! They never gave up...even when things were not looking very promising. Highly recommend them! Huge thanks to Leslie who did everything humanly possible to make this all happen. Less

Jennifer's team did a great job navigating our short sale through the process. When we lost a couple buyers due to the mortgage company's slow process, they quickly got the house back on the market and adjusted the price to market conditions. We had lots of showings and eventually got the short sale approved, thanks to the dilligence of her team calling the mortgage company non-stop. Great effort by Jennifer and her team!! Thanks!

The home was bought by me for 715,000 dollars in October of 2006. It was sold for 360,000 dollars. This was a nightmare of major proportions. It threatened my marriage and my mental health. Jen Young's team made it possible for me to avoid foreclosure and finally get out from under this horrible back-breaking buy. I wish the new owner nothing but the best. It is a beautiful home. I thought I was building the home for me, but it turns out I was building the home for her. I have no one to blame for this mess but myself. I have no one to thank but Jennifer's team for my new lease on life. Leslie R. and Edson M. are the best!! Jen...Thanks for going the EXTRA mile to make this happen. God Bless You all!!! Thanks,

I told my wife before the buying process started that I wanted to work with someone who was going to understand that this was a heavily emotional and very important decision for us. I dreamed of someone who understood this and would be accepting of my neurotic doubtful ways and my wife's dreamy attitude. What I got was Lauren Heisey who was the personification of dream-come-true. When we first met, I had a list of questions to ask. By the end of us simply chatting like lifelong friends for an hour, I hadn't even looked at my list of questions as she could already sense our concerns and had addressed them from the start. Throughout the process Lauren made great recommendations and never limited our dreams. She showed us the good, the bad, and the realistic and was always very open about the reality of every situation. Our questions were never made to appear ridiculous and her information always left us highly satisfied. I never felt like she was ignoring us or focused on being somewhere else while we were touring prospective homes, but somehow she was always able to respond to our emails within hours and often within minutes! I felt like she was always giving her other clients the same great service that we were receiving. She's a superhero. We met with her at the end of September and we closed on our first home in the beginning of November! In 45 days we went from a trembling clueless couple of lost kids with a wad of cash, to confident and knowledgeable, stress free, celebrating homeowners! We just moved into our new home and we have no question as to who we are going to when it is time to upgrade! The entire Jennifer Young Team is fantastic and is on top of their game. In a time where good people seem to be very hard to find, I feel we have found the perfect enjoyable relief for all who are entering a stressful situation in buying or selling a home. Thanks for helping us find our "Beams and Dreams" home! You are a team of superheroes! Less

I researched for a short sale expert in the NOVA area, and found Jennifer Young. The property was not an easy sell due to lack of cooperation from the co-owner, but Jennifer Young's team remained confident and did not give up. I do, however, wished my point of contact during the sale been more responsive and kept me up to date with developments on the property. Nevertheless, Jessica R. and Edson M. were fantastic! Working with them really reiterated why Jennifer Young's team members are the best short sale experts in NOVA. Even to the very end, Jennifer had my best interest during the closing paperwork.

Response from Jennifer Young
We certainly pride ourselves in serving our clients to the best of abilities. Without more information about this specific case, it is tough to respond. Our team has successfully listed and sold over 50 homes in the past 6 months, including short sales in the Virginia Beach region and we have pleased many parties involved. It is my hope that this client will reach out to me personally about his or her experience so that we can rectify the situation.
