"This is my third home transaction with Chris. I have sold two houses with him and bought one. Chris is a wonderful person with whom to work. He has a great sense of humor but he also has a keen eye and sense of the real estate market. His advice has always been SPOT ON. All of my moves were personal homes. One sold in three days. The most recent one sold in ten. The process of buying with him was also super stress free and happened on time with no issues. I strongly recommend Christ to anyone looking to buy or sell in Northern VA. Thank you Chris for all that you do!!"

If you want to know the market, get to know Chris. Chris and the Q Real Estate team set the example. I was informed every step of the way before I ever had to ask a question. Thank you!

Chris is an absolute pro! We relocated from the Pacific Northwest and from the first phone call Chris asked specific, pointed questions to narrow our search to view houses specific to our liking. He has in depth knowledge of the area, community, and specific features of a house that should be observed by a buyer when viewing a house. This is the 4th house I've bought, Chris is the best agent I've worked with! Highly recommend Chris and his team!

This is the third time Chris Ognek/Q Real Estate has helped me to sell/buy property in the NOVA area in the 10 year period. He is very knowledgeable of the area and the industry, an expert and a professional. He will tell you honestly what the needed updates are if you're selling and cons/downsides when buying. The BEST Real Estate Agent I have ever worked with. I would definitely recommend him to anyone and would love to work with him again anytime in the future!
