Our homeowners' association has been around for over three decades and we've seen our fair share of management companies. We hired Nesbitt Realty to manage our association in January 2020 after dealing with some very challenging issues with the previous management company. Nesbitt Realty has been a breath of fresh air and made our voluntary roles on the Board much easier and less stressful. They have been outstanding thus far and much better than some of the previous companies we've had in the past.

Nesbitt Realty was pleasant and professional. We worked with Alan Clerinx when we rented a home for 2 years - Alan was always responsive to our needs. We appreciated his guidance and support in making our renting experience a very good one!

I could not ask for a more stellar, professional and responsive property management company. They have responded and resolved every property concern that had arisen in a timely fashion. They found and placed outstanding renters in my home and they continue to provide a tremendous and unparalleled level of service. For anyone seeking a property manager in the Washington-metro area, Nesbitt Realty consistently distinguishes themselves in all categories of service. They are a first-class operation.

I've been renting out a condo unit with Nesbit Realty for about 2 years now. My property manager, Alan, has been responsive, working with both my needs, and that of the tenants. The rest of the team has handled the rent and payments on time and with much ease. I would very much recommend them for property management needs.

Do not do any business through this company. Hopefully you read all the negative reviews before hand and save yourself a lot of headaches. Bc once you sign a contract with them they’ll sue you for trying to leave any review online which is against the law- and they tried suing me unless I took my review off yelp. Doing business with Nesbitt was one of the worst experiences my husband and I have ever had renting a home. Extremely rude, unprofessional family business.

We own a townhouse in Northern Virginia that we have rented to others for 25 years. About 2012, we fired our property management company, who was doing a very poor job, and hired Nesbitt Realty, after doing some research and interviewing 2-3 excellent companies. Nesbitt Realty has been a pleasure to work with, they are responsive, and keep us apprised of everything that we need to know. The rent proceeds are always on time, and any maintenance bills are thoroughly supported and provided to us quickly. They have now re-rented the unit several times, finding us good quality tenants with minimal break between tenants, and have allowed us to sleep better in CA knowing that the property is well cared for.

I used Nesbitt Realty for both renting my home and, more recently, for the sale of my home. I found Will and Stuart to be very responsive, they kept me apprised of all and any issues, they promptly handled any repairs that needed to be made, and were very good at finding new quality tenants with lease terms ended. When the time came to sell my home, I used Stuart as my realtor. He provided me with all of the assessments for comparable homes in the area and spoke at length with me to come up with a suitable price. He took the time to discuss the sale and possible open houses with the tenant, and was extremely considerate of the Tenant’s time and home. Stuart was able to sell the home in under two weeks during the off-season for close to the list price. Everything about the sale went very smoothly. I’m very pleased with the work that Nesbitt Realty provided both areas property managers and as real estate agents. I would recommend them to anybody who needs rental, property management, or real estate services in the Northern Virginia area.

Have provided renters and helped maintain the property being very responsive to the needs for retails and replacements which always happens on weekends. They use their own contractors so I do not know if I am receiving the best price. The work is getting done when needed and I am glad not to be doing this myself. Although everything has run smoothly, I had to ask for copies of inspection reports more than once. I think this should be automatic.

Response from Nesbitt Realty
We never make any money from any of the work we order from any contractor. Of course, we often work with contractors that we have used before because they have earned our trust and taken good care of our clients in the past. We like working with contractors that are reliable and with fair prices, but we really don't care if they are the landlord's suggestions or if they are people we've worked with in the past. We are perfectly happy to work with any contractor that can get the job done at a fair price. Some landlords provide us with their own contractors. We also use Angie's List to find contractors. Just let us know if you have a contractor that you prefer or if there is a contractor you don't like. I think it's an outstanding suggestion to make the inspection reports something we automatically send landlords. We'll work on this improvement. Thanks!

Nesbitt Realty manages my condo in Alexandria, VA. They took over managing an extremely difficult tenant that I had found myself before hiring them, and re-leased my property with absolutely no downtime when that tenant moved out. Since hiring Nesbitt, I haven't had to spend any of my time and energy on managing difficult tenants or finding new tenants. The stress off me is worth so much more than the reasonable charge. I would recommend this company for anyone who needs property management. Stuart Nesbitt really went above and beyond for me and his ability to get my difficult tenant to pay and find new tenants promptly when the property had to turn over ended up saving me a lot of money in the long run.

I rented my new townhouse out while living out of the country. The house needed blinds, alarm system, washer and dryer installed. The blind installation was a nightmare. The person had a difficult schedule and a rule that someone had to be at the house during all of the visits instead of using a lock box, which meant Stuart had to be there for every little thing. Then there was the washer dryer install; they had the wrong part and made for another trip to the house. Let's not forget the alarm people; it was difficult to schedule them, but at least they did show up. It took them forever to set up the alarm system. Through it all Stuart just said, I will take care of it. His patience through this ordeal kept me calm. He did an outstanding job at getting the place ready to rent. I trust Nesbitt Realty to take care of both my properties. This real estate company has provide me the best service possible. I recommend this company. By the way, I found this Realty Company on Angie's List and they have lived up to their reputation

Stuart Nesbitt and the Nesbitt team take good care of our Arlington property. Stuart is always available by phone and e-mail and keeps us informed of issues that develop. He has good sense about repairs versus replacement. We get good monthly reports and the fees are reasonable. We are very pleased with Nesbitt Realty and would hire them again.

My fiancé, and I along with our relator had terrible experience with Nesbitt Reality. STAY AWAY. They accepted our bid on an apartment, in writing emailed us to said they would draw up the lease, backpedaled, engaged in a bidding war, took the application fee, and gave the place to someone else. Our relator said he had never seen anything like this is 31 years! Thank GOD we never signed anything in writing with them it would have been **** to have them as your management company. Not to mention Stuart was rude, unprofessional, and hung up the phone on my fiancé. Furthermore, when my fiancé went in person to pick up our paperwork Will Nesbitt threatened to call the cops and shoved him out the door. Do your homework and NEVER work with this company.

Response from Nesbitt Realty
There are a number of misunderstandings that are exampled in your review. I'll take a moment to try to explain some of these, but unfortunately it was your agent's job to clear up these misunderstandings. We have reported your agent (not a Nesbitt Realty agent) for a number of unethical actions which cause you to have hard feelings, misunderstand the process and caused you to point your anger at us. We didn't perform any services for this person or make any money from you. We did not represent you. You were represented by another brokerage and that broker's agent is responsible for explaining what follows. Firstly, the $90 you paid for a background check is a pass-through expense that we buy from other providers. Like [Member Information Removed] companies, we don't make any money off of background checks. Your background money is non-refundable and it says as much in bold letters beside your signature on the application. The property that you applied for is a condominium, not an apartment. The landlord, not Nesbitt Realty, selects the tenant. All we do is relay information and prepare documentation. The Realtor Code of Ethics has very strict rules about have material discussions with another Realtor's clients. Your agent ignored these rules and had a discussion with the landlord to sell the landlord on what a great tenant you are. The landlord heard that sales pitch and told our agent to accept your application. In the meantime, unbeknownst to the landlord we had received another application that offered more money that you had offered. We are under an ethical obligation to present all applications up until the lease is signed. So we told the landlord about the other application. The landlord then asked us to speak to your agent to see if you would match the offer. You declined that offer, so the landlord went with the higher offer. Then rather than explaining all these facts to you, your agent directed you to us to recover a non-refundable background fee. You came to our office looking for a fight. If you wanted to argue with someone, you should have been arguing with your own agent, not with us. When you refused to take no for an answer and refused to leave the office, we had no choice but to threaten to call the police.
