The Patterson Group - TTR Sotheby's International Realty

My husband and I just closed on our first home in Arlington, and we’re so grateful to Margaret and the team at The Patterson Group for helping us through this process. We didn’t really know where to start, and Margaret patiently guided us through everything, thoroughly answered our many questions, and had great ideas for neighborhoods for us to check out as we got started in our search, including ones we weren’t aware of. When “the one” came on the market, she worked quickly to best position us and our offer to be accepted. Her insight and expertise were invaluable! We highly recommend Margaret, especially to other first-time home buyers, and we would absolutely work with her again. Her team was a pleasure to work with as well—Phyllis kindly showed us a home when Margaret was out of town, and our interactions with everyone on the team have been wonderful. Huge thanks to Margaret and team for helping us land our first home—after our first offer, no less!

My wife and I worked with Margaret to buy our first home in Old Town Alexandria and she and the rest of the team at the Patterson Group are world class. Margaret is warm, proactive and extraordinarily sharp. She worked with us over 9 months, patiently helping us understand the market and what we wanted in our home. Once we found “the one”, she helped us move quickly to negotiate, reduce friction in the buying process and secure our house under list price within 5 days of our first tour. We could not be happier. Phyllis was also crucial to our buying process and stepped in to help if Margaret ever had a conflict. Nobody knows the market better than her, and she helped us understand how properties appreciate and what’s important for a future sale in Old Town. Now that we’re settling in, Margaret and Phyllis have made sure we have access to experts in the area who know how to work on and take care of our old 1800s house. If you are buying in old town, there is no better team to work with!

We could not be happier with Maria and her team. We reached out in fall of 2024 to start our home search, had a great informational introductory call with her (we were first-time home buyers and had no idea what we were doing...) before she got our home portal started. As soon as a potential option would post, she'd follow-up with her thoughts and we'd go look at the good ones immediately. Her schedule was flexible and we always felt she made time for us and our hand-full of home tours. We asked her for recommendations for a mortgage company as we were new-ish to the area and could not have had a better experience with them, as well. The team at First Heritage helped us visualize several different scenarios we asked for and explained everything line-by-line for us until we were comfortable moving forward with houses in particular price points. When we finally found the one, she drafted us a competitive offer with her knowledge and understanding of both the market and the Owner (she could tell they had already bought a house and moved on, so she suggested our timing and closing date be enticing and as short a window as possible). Because she had helped us get everything in order, we closed within 10 days, moved in immediately, and absolutely LOVE our new home. I would absolutely recommend Maria and her team if you are looking to buy a home in the area.

If you’re looking for a great realtor, look no further! Working with Maria from The Patterson Group was a fantastic experience from start to finish. She supported my husband and I through both selling our home and finding our dream home, and her guidance made the entire journey feel seamless. She is also insanely knowledgeable about the market which helped us feel confident in every decision we made. Maria was incredibly patient with our endless questions, always taking the time to explain each step and reassure us whenever we felt overwhelmed. She was responsive and genuinely invested in helping us reach the best possible outcome. We never felt rushed or pressured; instead, we always felt like she had our best interests at heart. We’re so grateful for everything Maria did for us. Thanks to her, we’re settling into a home we truly love, and couldn’t imagine going through this process with anyone else. Thank you, Maria!!

My husband and I approached the Patterson Group looking for a very specific type of property. Working with Britt, she set incredibly realistic expectations for us, and put us in the right state of mind to potentially wait for something that fit our criteria to go for sale for a very long time - fortunately, her ties to the local community and neighborhood we wanted to live in got us into our now forever home within a month of our initial conversation!! We could not be more thrilled with her and her team. They are fantastic. We also sold our pre-existing property with Britt as well, and I thought multiple times that I did not feel like we were buying/selling homes, which can often be stressful. Patterson Group made the entire process pain free!!
