Welcome to Ethical Homes
At Ethical Homes, we know that you don't want to deal with high-pressure real estate agents and mortgage brokers, who care more about getting their next commission than they do about helping their clients. That's why our primary goal is to have our clients—first-time buyers, experienced investors, and everyone in between—view us as partners, providing them with all of the tools and information that they need to make the right decision for them. When you work with us, you can be confident that we're putting your interests first.
To make sure that we can do that, we'll make the effort to get to know you and understand your specific needs. The time we'll spend with you discussing your situation in our initial consultation alone is more than many agents spend on an entire transaction, but we've found that it's essential to making sure that we can best serve our clients' interests, and it gives us a chance to educate our clients about all of their options—including options that won't put any money in our pocket. In fact, after those initial discussions, over half of the people that we talk to realize that buying, selling, or refinancing immediately isn't the right choice for them, and we have clients that we continue to advise even though we know that they are years away from being ready to act.
Once we do start working together, we'll use the latest technologies and our local knowledge and expertise to get you the best price while making your transaction as smooth and worry-free as possible. And since real estate transactions affect so many parts of your life, we'll keep you informed and educated for years to come, staying in touch long after any one transaction is finished.
The Ethical Homes commitment to excellence has garnered us rave reviews from our past clients; in 2004 and 2005, we were the only company in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, or Suburban Maryland to achieve the prestigious Platinum-level certification from Quality Service Certification, an independent national customer satisfaction ratings company that surveyed all of our clients during those years, and even though we now conduct our post-transaction surveys in-house, we're very proud of the fact that we are still the only real estate company in NoVA or DC to have ever achieved Platinum Certified status in that program.
Welcome to Ethical Homes. Our unique approach to real estate has earned us an unprecedented level of customer loyalty; currently, over 80% of our business comes from repeat clients and referrals, vs. 35% for most agents. We look forward to adding you to our list of satisfied clients, and becoming your Trusted Real Estate and Mortgage Consultants For Life.
