"I’ve had a wonderful experience working with all of you. The sale of my property may have been particularly challenging because (1) I lived on the other side of the country and (2) substantial repairs were required, including work that required city permitting. As a result, it took quite a long time to prepare the house for sale and required significant involvement from you due to my absence. But all of you were very patient with me and very skillful at shepherding the process to completion. In the end we received multiple offers and the final outcome exceeded my expectations. I am very thankful for your experience and skill, courtesy, and determination throughout the process. Thank you."

"We decided to prepare and list our longtime home in a short time-frame, and Rina was an outstanding partner in that project. She offered a creative strategy for getting the house and yard ready, identifying great contractors and helping coordinate the work. She gave us sound, evidence- and experience-based guidance on timing, pricing, staging, marketing, and assessing the numerous above-list offers. Rina was always responsive to us, and maintained scrupulous ethical standards. She and her team were also unfailingly warm and enthusiastic! The result was an efficient, effective, and problem-free house sale that went as well as we possibly could have hoped. We’re delighted to recommend Rina Kunk and her outstanding team to other prospective home-sellers."

"We thoroughly enjoyed working with Rina on our recent home purchase. As first time homebuyers who are not from the DMV area, we were looking for a realtor who could walk us through the home buying process and help us sort through our priorities. Rina was with us every step of the way as our search began for a two-bedroom condo in DC and ended with a single family home in Maryland. Rina is knowledgeable, communicative, and thoughtful. We'd recommend her to any home buyer in the DMV area!"

"I just wanted to thank you for working with Betsy and I during the sale of our family home. Your professionalism in explaining everything to us and then guiding us through the process of the sale was outstanding. I compliment you on your attention to detail and always keeping us informed of how the process of the sale was progressing.
Steve took some beautiful photos of our home to showcase it to prospective buyers. His knowledge of the architecture of our home and the homes in the area is impressive. I could hardly believe when he told me he had checked on what homes on our block had replaced their old lead pipe water lines. Now that's attention to detail!
If you would, pass along our thanks to Holly, who was great at helping us make a decision, and also Maggie who followed up with us to make sure the transaction was going as smooth as possible.
Again, thanks to you and your team at Compass Realty for making our experience outstanding.
Stay Safe and Healthy, "

"Rina came highly recommended to us. She handled the sales of two of my family’s homes over a period of several months…one in AU Park and the other in Cleveland Park. Her experience and in-depth knowledge of these areas enabled us to get the most out of these two properties. Most importantly, she was great to work with. She was extremely helpful throughout all stages of the process and has many resources to assist with whatever is needed. She helped us to determine what improvements would be most beneficial for one of the houses to maximize our sale price while working within our budget. Rina and her husband Steve went above and beyond by working late to add some finishing touches that really added to the final presentation. We couldn’t be more pleased with having chosen Rina as our agent and would highly recommend her."

"We want to thank you again for the many wonderful things you did on our behalf to get 37th Street ready, and then sold. We decided immediately upon meeting you that we were a good fit, and we committed then and there to follow your suggestions and advice. Like probably many of your clients, we were nervous and uncertain from time to time, but fortunately we stayed the course and the results were terrific. The house could not have looked better than it did when it was listed and the online photos, brochures etc. made it look even better. The selling price met our expectations and we are very pleased. We want you to know how much we have enjoyed working with you and how impressed we have been by the work you did for us."

"We could not have asked for a better agent. We had an incredibly stressful house hunting process but Rina had a solution for every problem. My wife and I were able to close on a home despite numerous obstacles and hurdles, and that is only because of Rina. Buying a home is a very emotional process and Rina went above and beyond to keep us sane. She really has your best interest in mind. There were many times she gave us advice that went against her own interest (guidance that would result in a smaller commission for her). My wife and I made the right call going with Rina. If we ever sell and/or buy again we will be using her."

"Rina helped me and my wife sell my deceased mother-in-law's house. We had never sold a property before and Rina patiently explained everything about the process and made us feel comfortable. She was understanding and gracious with us as we broke relations for a few months while we worked directly with a developer who had independently approached us. When that fell through, Rina quickly re-energized tailoring a sales strategy with us and in short order was able to find us a buyer at a price that was agreeable. She was very communicative and helpful throughout the process all the way through the closing. It was a pleasure working with Rina."

"Rina is who you want as your real estate agent. We had the pleasure of her representing us as a buyer for our home. She is very professional and knowledgeable about the local market. Our desired area and school district is highly desired and aggressive in Washington, DC. Rina provided a consultation and took the opportunity to understand our wants and needs. A home came on the market about 2 days later and we asked her to show. We were the first ones in and decided to make an offer after discussions with Rina about offer price... she did not let us overpay and provided a reasonable offer amount well under what we anticipated. OFFER WAS ACCEPTED! Rina was in touch with us following up every step of the way via phone, text, email and physically (physical was limited due to COVID19). She got the deal done with personal attention and her office staff was very easy to communicate and work with. We would recommend Rina and her staff to everyone in need of a real estate agent."

"Rina handled our home purchase with utmost professionalism. What I like best about her are her listening skills, attention to detail, and negotiation skills. Rina listens to what the client wants and doesn't impose her own ideas but will give counsel on the wisest course of action when asked. Rina never dropped the ball on a single little detail, marking it all down in the moment and following up when needed. Post-closing we had an issue where our seller left some construction materials behind and neglected to leave us keys to the property. She negotiated firmly on both issues and achieved solutions that were acceptable to us. She also has a great network of contractors, lenders and other service people. All her recommendations were fantastic. Best of all probably is her Zen-like calm when dealing with home buyers anxious about getting everything right. We always felt like we were in good hands."

"Rina was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to end. I felt like I was in the best hands with her and received sound advice through and through. She is patient and a great listener - I always felt that she had our best interest at heart and she consistently checked in with us about what we were looking for. Importantly for my husband, she never pushed us, but was realistic with us about offers that were unlikely to be accepted (& she was always on the ball). She was great about reaching out to sellers' agents to understand what the seller was looking for so we could craft an offer accordingly. She had a strong understanding of the market in the areas we were looking (mostly Palisades, Glover Park, Chevy Chase) and was able to guide us accordingly. I've already recommended her and will continue to do so. She makes the home purchasing process as painless as it can be. We are first-time homebuyers and having Rina put us at ease."
