Amy was extremely helpful and responsive. I was first time home seller and had dozens of questions for her but she patiently responded and explained. She provided me clear documents detailing her plan for sale - something that most agents do not seem to provide. I relished the fact that she gave my property the same attention that she was giving to another much higher priced house. She is very tech savvy.

Amy went to our out of state house and took photos and gave advice on what needed updating. Amy was willing to contact vendors to help with updates. For example, she went to a granite place and sent us photos of different colored granite so that we would pick new counters. She was there for people to deliver new appliances to the house. She helped with setting up a company to stage the house. Throughout all this, we never felt pressured to spend more than we wanted on updates. Her advice was spot-on. We received many competitive offers on our home and sold without difficulty. We would wholeheartedly recommend her!
Description of Work: We found Amy through Angie's List. We needed help selling a property out of state. Amy went above and beyond in helping us quickly sell our house.

Amy was a pleasure to work with from the very start. After contacting her via Angie's List, she showed up promptly at the property with comparable listings and we worked together to determine an appropriate listing price. After that, she put us in touch with her preferred stager, and a series of handymen that were able to address any remaining issues that needed to be corrected before the sale. At every step of the process Amy was responsive, professional, and reliable. We made the priority of our sale clear from the start (sell it quick!) and Amy did that with flying colors. We received 2 offers within the first week the house was on the market, and went under contract shortly thereafter. Amy even went out of her way to pick up the HOA seller's packet from the HOA on a weekday while we were unable to do so, and deliver it to the buyer's agent. If you're looking to sell your house, we can't recommend anyone more highly than Amy Musher. She did exactly what she said she'd do, and we have no doubts that she'll be able to do the same for you.

As an outstanding professional, Amy Musher gets my enthusiastic recommendation. My spouse and I found Amy on Angie?s List when we began our search for a homebuyer?s agent. She promptly responded to our email inquiry and scheduled an in-person meeting at her office. From the first time we met Amy, she listened carefully to our needs, thoroughly explained everything, however complex, and addressed all questions and concerns we had from time to time. She immediately understood the type of home and location we were looking for, and regularly emailed listings that were a match. Amy happily showed us several properties, and remained patient as we narrowed down our preferences and waited for the right home to be listed. Amy was available via phone, email, or in person, even during evenings and weekends. Although we did not have any emergency situation while Amy was on vacation, she had another agent on standby in case we needed anything while she was away. Amy was truly dedicated to us as her clients and gave us guidance and support whenever needed. Amy is skilled at explaining each step of a home purchase that we could fully understand as first-time homebuyers. She helped us choose among different options and navigate the phases in the home buying process so that we could effectively make decisions on our best move forward. Amy has extensive knowledge and experience of the market in Montgomery County, MD. She knew exactly how to act very quickly on our offer, deal best with competing offers, and negotiate specific terms in our best interest. After our offer was accepted, Amy diligently worked through any minor issues and effectively communicated and coordinated with all parties involved in the settlement, including the mortgage lender and the escrow agent. She seamlessly saw through the home purchase process from the beginning to the end. After the closing, Amy provided recommendations for professionals for renovation and interior design, and even introductions to our future neighbors known to her. And finally, her personal gift to us after the closing will always be a reminder of the memories we share during what will likely be the most important purchase of our lives. Amy is not only a talented real estate agent, but also an extraordinary person who will always remain our dear friend.

When moving, their is always the timing and logistics to be considered. Mrs. Musher is so experienced that she could anticipate and ward off any issues. She would continually remind the buyer's agent (for our house) and the seller's agent (for the condo) what they have missed or needed to be done. We could not have had a better agent.
Description of Work: Mrs. Musher led us through the very complicated steps of selling our home and purchasing a downsized condominium without a glitch. She provided all the proper paperwork, explained each legal ramification, and followed up on all concerns. After receiving the inspection report from the prospective buyer, she helped us find qualified people to make the required repairs. She found a loan company that was willing to provide us with a bridge loan. She made the entire move process smooth as possible and she always had a sunny disposition during the most crucial decision making. We highly recommend her!

Amy did an excellent job with selling our home in Bethesda as part of a company relocation. It was an extremely smooth process and transaction. Amy's advice was spot on with pricing, doing some touch ups to make the house show well, staging and marketing the house to potential buyers. She worked hard to follow up with contractors, host open houses and work with potential buyers and buyer's agents. Amy's communication was outstanding, and she was a pleasure to work with.

After working with another realtor for quite some time, and not so great contract experience, I decided I wanted to work with a new agent. I found Amy on Angie's List and after reading her stellar reviews, I decided to contact her. First form of contact was a phone call in which my husband and I described to her what we were looking for. That same day, she sent us several listings for us to look at. Within a week of our phone call, Amy spent a weekend afternoon looking at houses with us. I appreciated her honesty when it came to the houses, especially when it came to the location. For example, we arrived at a scheduled walk through appointment and did not want to go inside after seeing the neighborhood the house was located in. Without hesitation, she called the other agent to let them know we were not coming by after all. We worked with Amy for about a month before finding our house. We were able to write our offer up within 24 hours of us giving her the green light. She was present for our home inspection, which I appreciated, and also gave great advice when asking what to negotiate for. Closing was smooth and painless. She was easy to get in contact with and helped us with all our silly questions along the way (we were first-time home buyers). I have contacted her months after closing for such questions as well and she has always been nothing but gracious and helpful. I would recommend Amy to anyone -- she really cares about her clients finding the best house at the best price and gives helpful advice along the way! Thank you Amy!

Amy was proactive and stayed in constant communication with us throughout our home search. She made herself available at all times, whether it was late at night or while she was traveling to ensure our needs were met. She found us a home that met our wish list within just a few weeks of active searching. Throughout the process, Amy followed up on all details to keep things moving and completed on time. Her connections and expertise also helped us save thousands of dollars. Thanks Amy!

I found a condo online that seemed to fit my needs. I knew that I would need an agent to help me prepare my offer, if I chose to make one. I had taken "pot luck" with a couple of other offers, but did not find a good fit. I e mailed Amy the day before going to an open house. She responded promptly. After attending the open house, I decided to make an offer. I was really surprised that Amy cut an out-of-town trip short to meet with me, take a look at the place and prepare my offer. She told me that she was in the real estate business because she loves it - there is no doubt about that! She is a delight to work with - enthusiastic, knowledgeable and thorough. She was truly this buyer's advocate, something important to me that was missing with the other agents I'd met and worked with. My offer was accepted! I'll fill you in on the rest of the process after it happens! The rest of the process happened before the beginning of this year - and Amy was wonderful! We joked about my panel of advisers and she was exceptionally welcoming and gracious when they became my entourage at closing. Shortly after I purchased my home, Amy won an award from her professional association. It came as absolutely no surprise to me that she did!

Awesome. I found Amy on Angie's List when I initially started my home searches online. Amy responded to my inquiry when she was on vacation and we met shortly thereafter. Amy definately made my home search relatively painless and less stressful. She was very responsive to my questions, and, since I was not very familiar with the specific areas, she was a wealth of knowledge for me. Perhaps the biggest attribute I appreciated about Amy is that she wasn't pushy or one of those agents you hear horror stories about that want to just make a sale. Amy was patient, made sure that the houses we were looking at were what I wanted in a home, and she always answered my questions when viewing a house. Also, not that it matters, but although I wasn't buying a house in Potomac, Amy definately treated me like I was the only client she had. She made time for me when I wanted to view a house, re-visit a house, or when I had questions. Amy says that once you become her client, you are her client for life and not just until you buy/sell your house. Try finding that quality in another agent. If you are looking for an agent to buy or sell your home, I HIGHLY recommend Amy Musher. You'll gain an awesome agent, and an even awesom-er friend and person. (She also knows a lot of people that can be valuable resources when looking for handymen, services, etc. That's huge!!)

Amy is great. She made the unwieldy and complicated process of buying and selling a house easy. She was very professional, honest and never over-promised. Some other realtors go with the hard sell for the sole purpose of increasing their own commission. This was never the case with Amy. We got the sense that she genuinely wanted us to find the house that fit our desires, not hers. Highly recommend her!

This home sale experience was extremely positive. Amy put together a marketing plan that was very effective, resulting in a contract being signed in seven days. Her diligence in arranging client visits and a very successful open house definitely made the difference. Once the contract was finalized, Amy very assertively followed up on all details of the process, working with the Buyer's Agent in scheduling the inspections, appraisal, and keeping tabs on all the details. She was a great source of comfort to us, reassuring us with her experience when our anxiety level would rise. Throughout the whole process, Amy was always there, always punctual, always reliable. Amy was the reason our house sale was such a successful and positive experience for us.

Shortly after relocating to DC, we met Amy and started our search for a new home. Amy worked with us for over a year to find us a home. She's very knowledgable, professional, easy to speak with and always on-time and responsive. We knew what we wanted and it was pretty specific. Amy was very patient with us, and understanding that we were looking for a longterm home for our growing family. She sent us probably a hundred listings, maybe more, but we only were interested enough in two to have her get us in to see the properties. Both we put offers in on and had ratified contracts. Unfortunately the first property fell through, due to a difficult seller. The second one was as smooth as can be and we are now planning to move in once we complete a little renovating. Even though we may not have always seen eye to eye on everything, Amy made sure we had all the information we needed to make an informed decision. There was never any pressure, no sales. Never heard the typical "that can be changed ea$ily". I feel that what Amy does that she excels at, is she gets to know her clients and truly has a desire to find them a home they will be happy in. She knew we were experienced buyers and just needed to give us the information we needed to make informed decisions. I'm sure if we were first time home buyers she would have accomodated our needs as well. Overall she is a pleasure to work with.
Description of Work: Amy was our agent as buyers. She sent us listings for available properties, made appointments to view homes, coordinated the contract and closing process including scheduling all inspections.

Amy was fantastic. She helped us find a beautiful home in Potomac. Amy made the whole process enjoyable and headache free. She helped guide us through an incredibly quick closing (24 days) without any problems. And she was great at focusing in on the feature that we really wanted in a home so that we could stay within our budget.

When we moved to Potomac five years ago my husbands company assigned Amy as our real estate agent to help us relocate. Amy found us the perfect rental property and was beyond helpful with our transition. She forwarded us all the information we could possibly need to help make the move easier. Amy sent us info on all the schools in the area and all the information we needed to settle in Maryland. Two years later when it came time to purchase a house Amy was fabulous. She was always available and very helpful. She knew the area well and showed us many, many houses. She had the patience of a saint. When we found the house we wanted to buy Amy went way above and beyond the call of duty with her help in making it happen. We hit some major glitches but she never gave up. I would recommend Amy to everyone. She does not make you feel pressured and she never, ever hesitates to get back to you. She has a very calm demeanor and a very friendly easy going personality with her clients but when it comes time to making the deal and getting everything done she is a true professional.

As the result of her guidance, we ended up with a much newer and modern-looking home. Amy was also instrumental in negotiating prices with various contractors for the various work in our home. As part of her services to us, Amy also located a condominium for us to move in to, which we are thoroughly enjoying at the present time. Amy also had an associate of hers who is an interior design specialist who had us place our furniture and oil paintings in an attractive manner in our new condominium. As a result we have have received numerous compliments on the placement of these items.
Description of Work: Real estate agent, Amy Musher of PenFed Realty, went above and beyond what is expected of a listing agent. She was extremely helpful in pointing out upgrades that needed to be done to our 39-year-old house that would enhance the timeliness of selling it quickly. Her assistance in helping us and in modernizing the entire house quickly resulted in the selling of our house. At her suggestion, we even redid the recreation room and updated an additional room in the downstairs area.

We moved to D.C. from out of state with Amy as our real estate agent. She was outstanding. Amy showed us a variety of houses within our range (in D.C. and Virginia), listened well, and helped us find exactly the right home. She worked around our schedules and cut through all of the selling agent's B.S. Amy gets our highest recommendation!

Amy made my first home buying experience relaxing, enjoyable and very successful! When I met Amy, she took the time to fully understand what I was looking for. Over the next 3 weeks, she drove me to see many homes - sometimes multiple times - in a variety of areas, and helped me to find my perfect home. When it turned out that there were multiple bids on the home, Amy dropped everything on a Sunday evening, drove to the seller's meeting, and used both my offer and her personality to win over the seller. Amy will do everything in her power to make you happy. She is a delightful person and a joy to work with. I recommend her highly!
Description of Work: Amy helped me purchase my home. She took time to understand my needs and wants. Sent daily emails of homes on the market. Took me to view every home I was interested in. Helped me stay competitive in the bidding war for my home.

Consummate professional with a knack for knowing exactly what you are looking for and the ability to willingness to find it for you. We sold our home in 21 days - almost unheard of these days - and realizing that we needed to find a place sooner rather than later, Amy was up to the task. Each day listing after listing was sent to us for our review and even though we kept saying no to one listing, Amy knew better. After allowing us to look and taking us around to the homes we thought we wanted to see, Amy took us to the one she knew we would love, but kept refusing to go to. Amy was right! We fell in love with it and Amy helped us buy it for below asking!
Description of Work: If you bought or sold a home and you didn't use Amy, you made a huge mistake. We listed our home and 21 days later, it had a great contract and to Amy's credit - even in this market, we had a slight bidding war!! When it came time to buying a home, Amy was even better - as hard as that was to imagine. Amy routinely sent us listing after listing and even though we kept saying no to one listing, she forced us to go see it and wouldn't you know - we bought it! Amy knew exactly what we wanted, what we were looking for and the added benefit - Amy helped us negotiate our purchase price for well below asking!! in my opinion - I wouldn't use any other realtor, period. Amy's phenomenal and not using her is a major mistake!Amy is a phenomenal real estate agent.
