Shelley Green /Long & Foster Realtors

Shelly’s advice, responsiveness, preparation and help in selling our home was invaluable. She came prepared with an extensive market analysis for our area. Her guidance for what we needed to do to get our old house ready to sell was spot on. She made the house look amazing. Her helped extended beyond what is normally expected from a real estate agent. She helped us downsize and sell some of our stuff. When health issues forced us to leave early, she worked with the contractors to fix up the house and the movers to pack our belongings. The staging and pictures really made the house shine. She priced the house appropriately and marketed it well. In the end, Shelly got us several offers in a few days’ time and sold it for more than we expected. We highly recommend Shelly!

Shelley gets an +A. She is a wonderful real estate agent - she was awesome throughout the entire process of selling our condo and purchasing our new home. She was informative, she knows the area very well, and all of her recommendations and ideas were very welcome. Her instincts are well-tuned and she is very knowledgeable about the housing market in this area so it's very easy to trust her. She made the process look and feel very easy, which we know behind the scenes it's not. But that really says something about her work ethic! We will recommend Shelley anytime we hear anyone that needs a real estate agent!

Great! Shelley knows what to do in each step of the search from beginning to the end. Best agent for your home search and negotiation

Shelley was incredible throughout the entire process. She provided us with all the needed information to make informed decisions; coached us through the staging and showing process; responded promptly and patiently; negotiated the best deal possible; doubled checked and followed through on all the behind the scenes work; took care of all scheduling; and continued to help us through the rent back period until we literally walked out our door for the last time. We would most definitely use Shelley again!

We are first time homeowners now thanks to Shelley who was instrumental in guiding us through the home buying process. We appreciate her quick response to our questions where she used her expertise to help us make decisions. Shelley took into consideration our priorities and made sure we were able to see all the listings that matched our criteria. We never felt pressured to purchase something that was not a good fit and she provided critical and helpful feedback about pros and cons of each property. Shelley was a strong advocate for us throughout the process and we would highly recommend her services to anyone looking to purchase a home in MD or DC.

Wonderful experience. Shelley made a stressful situation such a breeze. She was awesome and gave us incredible advice on how to negotiate and always had our best interest at heart. We can’t wait to buy our next home and know Shelley will help us get the best deal. She’s very easy to get along with, answers texts and calls anytime of the day and has been amazing in every possible way! Highest possible recommendation!!!

Generally, the units in my building took between 6 and 9 months to sell, Shelly had a contract on my unit in 4 months and the settlement was at 5 months. Shelly is a first rate agent, when I decided to sell my unit she was the first and only agent I contacted. She has been involved in the real estate transactions of my extended family for nearly 20 years and 5 different sales/purchases, and after the first one, she was who we have called for each of the others. I highly recommend Shelly for both sales and purchases, not only does she listen to you, the customer, but if you listen to her and follow her recomendations you will have an easy time of it.

Shelley did a great job!! She is professional, punctual, knows the business and responds in a nano second! This was our third real estate transaction with Shelley, and all three were a breeze . . . both when she helped us purchase and when she helped us sell. Shelley is a pro at her job!

Working with Shelley to sell our home was a great experience! She was professional, personable, and very knowledgeable. I was impressed with how much work she put into preparing our home for sale—photo shoots with a professional photographer, advertisements through social media, and room staging. She will do it all as a part of her role as your realtor. And she was quick to respond to my texts and emails. She did great work!

This is the second time we worked with Shelley, first ~5 years ago when we started looking for our first home, and now again when buying our second/selling our first. Shelley was wonderful to work with - professional, understanding, helpful and had our best interests in mind. She helped us stage our home, get up and running on all the listing services and advised us contractors as needed when selling our home/buying our new one. Highty recommended!

We had lived in our house for 25 years so we were not knowledgeable about what was needed in 2018 to prepare and sell a house well. Even a year ahead, when we found her with good reviews on Angie’s List, she came over, did a summary book on the steps to take, and what the comparables at that time were. She walked through the house with us and discussed what in each room would be needed and not needed in order for the house to show well. The process began to look manageable and we could lay a plan to prepare to sell. She helped us form a list of all repairs and replacements we would do, then gave us the names of individuals with whom she had experience, who would do the work effectively, on a time schedule and at a reasonable cost. That included getting kitchen appliances and hiring people to paint, lay and refinish flooring, install carpeting, install counter tops, and do electrical upgrades. When we texted even small questions, like carpet shades, she was fast with a recommendation. But also, she didn’t object to our making different choices. She often responded to texts and voice messages within minutes and came by the house to look at work in progress as we asked. She was always pleasant and very knowledgeable. She always let us know what steps were coming up to help us plan. Staging and photography, even with a drone, was well done with great results. We got sufficient notice about when we would need to be out of the house for showing times. She was actively involved during the entire selling process, helping us strategize and make final-price decisions. The bottom line is, thanks to Shelley, our house was on the market only 4 days which brought 14 showings and 2 offers, both above our asking price. When things could have felt overwhelming, she helped us see through the options. We were quite satisfied and highly recommend her.

Shelley's greatest quality is her honesty, and when combined with her knowledge of real estate, she is a superb agent. Her approach allows homebuyers to recognize those things they want and don't want in a home while reflecting that she is always looking out for her client. Shelley is going to allow you to make your own decisions about what you want during this process. She is responsive, very respectful, and answers any questions. As first time homebuyers, we are glad we went through this process with Shelley.

Excellent. Shelley was a pleasure to work with. She was very skilled and highly professional. Always available and eager to put my desires first. From day one she provided all the information we needed and offered excellent services that many realtors don't, including staging and promotion. Throughout the process Shelley was responsive and because of her work we sold our house quickly and easily. We would recommend Shelley to anyone who is looking to selll a house.

I have greatly enjoyed working with Shelley! From the moment I sent my first e-mail to utilize her services, I knew I wanted to work with her, because she had responded to that initial inquiry within minutes (on a weekend)!! Selling a home isn’t easy, but Shelley was with me each step of the way and had everything covered. I work on the lender side, so I did have a small advantage, in that I understood the process and the terminology, but I’m not the professional, so I relied heavily on her advice. There is an incredible amount of work to do in selling a home, and she made sure I never missed a beat. She even stepped in to manage my appointments (termite inspection report, handyman services, work performed by contractors, etc.). This allowed me to continue to go to work and save up my time for the actual move and closing. There came a point in time when she said it was time to reduce my asking price – I knew that was going to come, but again, I relied on her recommendation, and within just over a week, I had an offer! I’m also in the process of buying new construction, and she’s been there with me through each and every step, providing her expertise to guide me through the process. I also had several appointments that I couldn’t attend, and she made the time to go in my place. If you want the best, Shelly is the agent for you! She’s very friendly, personable, and professional! You couldn’t ask for more from an agent!!

Shelley was exceptionally knowledgeable, professional and committed to our family through the processes of selling and buying a home. There was many issues with the builder, both during construction and after moving in. She was committed to seeing everything through to the end and advocating for our interests. She is a great realtor and provides outstanding customer service.

Shelly did a great job of assisting with planning and execution of preparing my home for sale. Once our listing went live, we were inundated with a total of 67 showings and 6 offers in the first 72 hours.

Shelley Green is by far the most consummate professional I have had the pleasure of working with in recent history. This family was faced with selling the home of a loved one. Throughout the entire process, Shelley was understanding, sensitive, and patient. She, among the three realtors we interviewed, provided the most helpful initial guidance on how to proceed and what to tackle in preparing for the sale. To making sure the property stood out among the competition, Shelley was there every step of the way, providing relevant aim and direction and even helping us plant last-minute flowers to make the best first impression. Shelley’s knowledge of the market is solid. She provided enough data for us to make the listing price decision intelligently. And, with her help, we priced it right. The property sold within three weeks after listing and with multiple offers. Finally, Shelley is incredibly responsive, even at odd hours of the day and on weekends. Her affiliation with Long & Foster provides a seller with an array of tools to market the property the most effective way possible – from aerial and professional photos, to staging, to marketing brochures. Her staff is top notch and kept us informed as the process proceeded. Bottom line, I have no hesitation recommending Shelley and her team to anyone selling or buying a home. She’s the best!

Under Shelley's guidance and care, everything went superbly well. Here is my evaluation: Since I became Shelley Green’s client, I had told her repeatedly that she should change her name to “Shelley Gold.” Why? Because when it comes to real estate, from what I had seen, all that Shelley touches turns to gold. As my agent, she was a master-mind, craftsman, expert, and miracle-worker all rolled into one amazing powerhouse of energy steadfastly devoted and dedicated to my needs as a seller. She adroitly and thoughtfully removed so much stress from the real estate process—an unbelievable feat in itself—and she guided me successfully through the turns and curves of selling my home. The result was a seamless, flawless, and swift sale of my property. It should come as no surprise therefore that I recommend Shelley Green without any hesitation whatsoever. On a scale of one to ten, I rate her a million. For me personally it was a privilege and honor to have worked with her.

Shelley did a fantastic job of selling our home! It was a 3 bedroom townhouse in Silver Spring, Maryland, and it needed A LOT of work. Shelley went above and beyond finding reputable but affordable contractors for all the work, helping to organize schedules, and helping me not lose my mind. While I was at work she frequently stopped by the house to make sure the contractors were doing a good job. I was nervous about the timing of putting the house on the market because it was so close to the holidays (a week before Christmas). But Shelley had done her homework and knew, based on the comps and what was on the market, that we had a good chance of getting a quick offer. She was right. After less than a week on the market, we had 4 offers. The offer we chose was above our asking price. I totally credit the quick offers to Shelley. She knows how to price a home right, and she knows market trends. These are the words that best describe Shelley: responsive, prompt, professional, prepared, motivated, and effective. Beyond that, she's a great cheerleader to her clients. When we hit bumps in the road, she was great at being solutions oriented and keeping us optimistic. This is the second time I used Shelley as my realtor to sell my home, and I will definitely reach out to her again when it's time to buy or sell my next home.

Here is the bottom line: if you're looking for a real estate agent, there is no need to look any further. With many years of experience, a wide range of connections, a thorough knowledge of the market, and a great personality, Shelley will help make your home buying and/or selling journey a good one. We have purchased two homes with Shelley's assistance, in 2009 and 2016. The latter was new construction, which involved multiple meetings with the builder, interior selections at a design studio, pre-drywall inspection & a final walk through, and several rounds of negotiations. The entire process was relatively long, filled with many questions and a fair share of anxiety that's inherent to buying a house that's not built yet. Shelley was there every step of the way, ensuring that no detail went unnoticed, while at the same time addressing all of our concerns. The qualities that I appreciate most are her promptness and her proactive approach to following up with all involved parties to make sure that all of our bases are covered. Both on a personal and a business level, she demonstrates a high level of professionalism, a genuine desire to help, and a deep passion for what she does. Both my wife and I are looking forward to working with Shelley in the years to come.

Seamlessly! Shelley is a true professional. Knowledgeable about the market, sensitive to changes in the market, keenly aware of the buyer's and seller's needs, thorough and careful with paperwork, and never pushy in the process! She is also incredibly responsive. Often within minutes of a call or request!

Shelley is an incredible realtor. She was personable, responsive, and totally vested in me as her client. She has a deep knowledge base of the real estate market. Last year she helped find me a great rental home and last month she helped me find a beautiful home to buy. She supported me and answered all the questions I had with the: -home inspection -mortgage -title company/ closing I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. Thank you Shelley!

Shelley Green was fabulous. She came out well before we decided to put our home on the market with a well developed market comparison that gave a range of what we could expect to net from the sale of the house at a range of possible prices. She detailed her marketing plan and noted she would be paying for a professional stager. She walked through our house twice with us once, initially, and once when we wanted to get it on the market quickly to go over what we needed to do to make it sell quickly. Then she brought the stager in and we had a few minor additional items to attend to, but no major painting or repairs as she had already flagged all that for us way earlier. She gave us a price range for listing the house based on recent sales in the area and talked to us multiple times about scenarios for when we listed the house. The house sold within a week at full price. We also had multiple offers in an area where houses were often sitting on the market for months and this was in late July/early August when the market is considered slow. She was thorough in following up with agents who showed the house, providing us feedback each time and keeping us updated on the discussions with agents, knowing we were anxious. Shelley was also awesome when it came to the period between the contract and sale. She adeptly helped us navigate what could have been a really tough home inspection contingency, getting us the best possible outcome in my mind. She also helped us go back to the purchasers and request to move settlement back a few days so we could coincide it with a house we were purchasing. It happened seamlessly from our end. We thought selling our home with two little kids was going to be a huge challenge and really stressful, and Shelley made it so much easier than we anticipated. We’re very lucky we found her and would highly recommend her to other sellers.

Overall it went great. We interviewed three agents for the sale of our house and Shelley left us with the best vibe and highest recommended asking price. Through the sale of our house and the seeking and purchase of our hew house, it quickly became clear the extent to which she is extremely knowledgeable, fair, honest, respectful, and pleasant. She has a refreshingly realistic view of the real estate market, a unique quality among the many agents I've interacted with in this process of selling and buying this home as well as buying my last one. I never once felt that I'd been left in the dark. Shelley is extremely responsive and available seemingly at all hours. She was also very accommodating to our individual needs as clients, which I really appreciated. I won't bore you with all the details of our adventure but will say that I can't imagine a situation in which her clients wouldn't be completely satisfied. I've already recommended her to a friend and colleague and will not hesitate to do so again for anyone in the housing market.

I'm glad I found Shelley! I'd already talked with about 6 other real estate agents--most of them referrals from my banks or loan officer--and they were slow to respond, didn't really listen, or were scarily aggressive. Shelley was always responsive, gave great recommendations for keeping up with the housing market, and was a positive and patient force. She was always prompt to showings and flexible in scheduling showings. She is very professional, and she'll make clear to you the areas where she can and can't offer advice. I suspect she also has really great negotiation skills; I didn't see them in action but she did convince the buyer to go with our slightly lower offer. I have friends with scary stories about using contractors referred by their agents, but so far Shelley's referrals have been really solid, and she's worked in MoCo and in real estate long enough that she knows people to refer for pretty much everything. We planned to buy a house needing a bit of work, and Shelley impressed us with her ability to assess a house, how big a project it would be, and its potential. In our walk throughs, she noticed all kinds of details--mold, the location of the breaker box, the slope of a porch, etc.--that we may not have picked up on. It's been great working with her!
