I had a great experience with John at NVA Realty Group. He went above and beyond expectations for us. Our case was not a traditional sale and came with a lot of unknowns. it was an estate sale where we did not know any of the background information on the house when we started. We had no idea what the history of the house, or even the mortgage details. John help us navigate the unknowns all the way through the sale. He kept us informed, let us handle the pieces we knew, and stepped in whenever needed. I highly recommend his services.

I really can’t say enough about how awesome it was to work with John. Previous to John I worked with 2 realtors from 2 separate firms with no results. Dozens of prospective buyers walked through my house and neither realtor could get a single offer. Selling my home was becoming a nightmare. Then I hired John. The difference was night and day. He was able to get offers on my home immediately. Also, he was very helpful in walking us through the process and making sure that we were prepared at every step. John is the most thorough and responsive agent that I’ve had. The result was a smooth process, and no surprises. My only regret is that he wasn’t my first listing agent. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again.

Anthony Garcia

Working with Mr. John Nolan as my realtor to sell my home was a greater experience that I could have possibly imagined. At every turn he was engaged with the buyer’s realtor, appraisers, contractors, or the title company to ensure realty actions stayed the course until completion. His professionalism, realty experience, and negotiation strategies made for a complete and quick sale in just over a month. Further, he referred a realty agent in the area I would be moving, which was a tremendous relief for me with all the added stresses of making a move across country. If you need a trustworthy agent for your realty needs….look no further than my realtor of choice in Northern Virginia, Mr. John Nolan.”

John was a blessing to us. We were in a tough situation and he brought to the table several options and found one that worked for us. It ended up pretty easy and John guided us through the entire process. John knows what he is doing, knows the market and has the resources to help in about any situation. I would recommend him highly!

I began talking with John Nolan approximately 1-1/2 years before putting my home on the market.  When I first contacted John, he had recently sold a house in my neighborhood, and I was impressed by the quick sale.  I had a long list of questions, and he quickly put me at ease with a thorough explanation of the process.  John was always available to talk, and I never felt pressured.  He was respectful of my timeline and was very supportive.  The sale process was seamless.  The listing went live on a Friday with 6 offers on the following Monday, I received $45,000 over the listing price, and closed within three weeks.  I highly recommend John as he is very knowledgeable, thorough and professional.  Thanks again John!

I’ve worked with many agents over the years. John and his team were the best and absolutely amazing to work with! Upon signing our listing agreement we quickly moved out of state leaving our home and investment in John’s capable hands. He took care of everything, including scheduling contractors, maintaining the yard, providing us with routine updates on repairs, all while saving us money. Then he virtually staged our entire home, we got a lot of showings, he quickly followed offering agent feedback, presented offers and kept a constant eye on our home the entire time. He even hired and helped the landscaper quickly remove a fallen tree that hit our home ensuring it wasn’t damaged in the process just before settlement. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The peace of mind he offered was incredible. Clearly he had our best interest at heart and during the process our family grew fond of John. We will certainly be highly recommend John to family, friends and will be our agent for life. Thank you again for everything you did for us… we couldn’t have done it without you!

John was very professional, efficient, attentive, and helpful in selling of our investment property offering us wise advice regarding pricing, staging, timing, and many other aspects of the sale. In fact, he put a comprehensive list of required improvements, helped tenants to find alternate housing, checked the home on a routine basis along with following up contractors to make sure all work as completed on time. We listed our property 3 weeks later and had full price offer in 10 days. John was responsive and always available to talk and/or help when we needed assistance and/or information throughout the entire process along with providing daily buyer agent/buyer/market updates. Even before we accepted any offers, John did his diligence by contacting the buyers lender to verify that they were thorough and did their diligence to get us to the settlement table. We accepted the offer knowing that John he had some concerns. They proved to be justified when the buyer’s agent didn’t show up to settlement, buyer didn’t bring certified funds to the table and buyers agent had to offer credit to help buyer close. None the less, everything came together in the end. I would highly recommend John’s services unreservedly to prospective sellers!

We had 12 Showings, 3 offers, Home Sold for full list price, we settled in 21 days. Impressive!

My experience with John was exceptional from Day 1 to Closing. He was able to properly guide me through the process of selling my home offering expert advice along the way about how best to maximize the value of my property to potential buyers. Following his advice I was able to prepare my home quickly and economically for sale, and his marketing strategy meant that I got an incredible number of showings and multiple offers within days of listing.

John Nolan is not only a good friend, but he has provided our family with outstanding representation on both purchasing and selling real estate over the years. Most recently, John and his team helped us to prepare our property to list, and we had offers on the first day of “coming soon”. In the end, in large part to John’s efforts, we closed according to our plan, for more than we planned. John’s attention to detail, and his commitment to his customers will leave you feeling great. Most highly recommended.

We helped Sylvia and Bill sell their home $35,000 over list price while working in concert with 3 other agents helping their clients sell and/or purchase 2 other homes in the process in order to make this deal close! Unprecedented! Its amazing what 3 top agents can accomplish working together in best interests of their clients. Finally, we negotiated in their behalf our our sellers a rent back for 2 months after settlement so we could help them find, purchase and settle on their new home.

John is our realtor for life! He recently helped us sell our home & then helped us navigate buying the new one. He goes above & beyond the basics – both in selling & buying. He had our backs the whole time making sure all necessary documents were in place. He returned our calls/texts promptly no matter the time of day. No question was too trivial & he followed up on everything. I will gladly recommend his services. I won’t be in the market for another home anytime soon but if/when I’m ready, John will be right there with me!

We helped Sylvia and Bill sell their home $35,000 over list price! We negotiated in their behalf a rent back for 2 months after settlement so they could find, purchase and settle on their new home (realtor owned) for $20,000 less then list price and we then negotiated another $15,000 in seller subsidy.

John is the agent of your dreams when it comes to selling or buying your home.  In our case it was assisting us in the sale of our home.  

John stepped in after our original agent did not turn out as good as we expected.  John stepped in and guided us through the sale of our home.  He thoroughly explained the many steps involved from listing, to staging and then executed his vision through sale of our home.  It took much longer than anticipated to sell our home, but that was on us for making the selection of our first agent.  However, stumbling into John’s company and his personal energy in executing his sales plan was a godsend for us.  John taught us what an energetic agent can do for a seller’s spirits and get things done.  We truly appreciate his efforts on our behalf.

I worked with John to sell my condo in Alexandria and find a home for my family in Centreville all while still living in St. Louis, MO. While being that far away, John’s communication skills and attention to detail made all the difference in helping me get my condo ready for sale and under contract within a week and making a smooth closing despite challenges with finicky buyers. He was even great in helping me hire a contractor to fully renovate the place prior to selling. This attention to detail carried through in our home search. I would totally recommend John.

My husband and I are beyond impressed with John. We could not be happier with his services. We live in Saint Louis, Missouri and John was able to help us sell our condo in Alexandria (under contract within one week of being on the market, I might add!). He recommended a great contractor to complete updates/remodeling and had it virtually staged. Communication was of utmost importance to us, living so far away, and John did not falter. John will be our go-to for future needs with real estate and we will certainly be recommending him. Thank you for your dedication and loyalty.

Check out their updated home after referred contractors completed full renovation, we virtually staged all empty rooms, created a floor plan, implemented our proven 25 point marketing plan, etc. We competed with 10 other listings just in the same building, had 10 Showings, under contract in 7 days, multiple offers, Sold for full list price, and we settled in less than 30 days.

Since John was very professional, efficient, attentive, and helpful in selling of our investment property offering us wise advice regarding pricing, staging, timing, and many other aspects of the sale, I used John again a year later in the purchase of my new home. John again was both helpful, resourceful and patient as I was determining where I wanted to live. Ultimately, I purchased a new home. Knowing the market, having done his homework John and I worked together as team to convince the builder to agree to allow me to purchase a lot in another phase of the development which we were told initially was not an option. We also negotiated the model type, desired exterior color package, elevation along with an additional financial credit. The sales rep stated we’ve never offered these before and management will mostly likely not accept. In fact, John also read and highlighted for me the builder contract bring to my attention any potential concerns, important delivery dates, etc. Ultimately, management accepted, we went to settle a 8 months later. John even showed up at the walk through inspection and pointed out a few items that need to be addressed. When I’m in the market to buy and/or sell my next home, or when I have friends that are searching for the ‘perfect’ realtor, I will definitely recommend you!”

Initially I was uncertain about cold calling agents from a website. John was the first to respond and arrive at my home. John and his team were fantastic to work with and took care of everything for us. He helped us put a comprehensive punch list together which included bring over his professional stager to ensure we made the best first impression with buyers. He lined up a number of contractors for the work that we didn’t want to do. pro Everyone was so professional. He even set us up with his Listingbook service so that we could track the market together along with helping us find our Arlington rental.

Was really impressed when John presented us with multiple offers and got our home sold quickly while competing with 4 other new listings just in our community. He even met the appraiser offering comps to make sure they knew the value was there, helped us address all the home inspection items, and got us to the settlement table in 30 days. That’s amazing service!

John Nolan’s realty experience and knowledge of the ever changing market was integral in the purchase of two homes and the sale of one home in the Northern Virginia area.

John’s unwavering dedication to his clients and work ethic, provided a smooth, professional home buying and selling experience. in my six property purchases and two property sales, I have never been more pleased with the overall customer service, and friendship gained, from a realtor.

I had a phenomenal experience working with John and his team. I can’t thank him enough for all his hard work, commitment and dedication in helping us find our new home here in Victory Lakes. John listened to what we had to say which seems rare these days unfortunately. He took all our needs/wants to heart as if he was buying his own home. I ended up being out of town for 5 days after submitting the offer. Working with John was like having a personal assistant which made a HUGE difference in getting everything done on time. After submitting the offer on 12/30, it was a great feeling knowing while I was out of town John was hard at work getting the short sale approval on Jan 4th which successfully postponed a pending foreclosure on the 6th and our dream home lost. He worked with the HOA to provide a survey saving us additional money at closing, managed to get HOA requested repairs postponed, worked with the seller on getting needed repairs done and even inspected them for us, etc. We truly believe that no other agent could have accomplished the impossible.
