Rest assured, working with Earle, whatever your real estate transaction is, you will be handled with great care and respect. Thank you Earle!"

"It’s hard to put into words all that Earle and her team have done for us because their attention to detail was so seamless. They anticipate every need and guide you through every step. Earle is generous with her time to support you through a very challenging process. It is evident that Earle has been in the business for years because she has the ability to understand what the market is doing and helps you respond accordingly. What a professional. I can’t imagine buying or selling a home without Earle and her team."

"Earle recently sold my townhouse in Alexandria in less than a week. Her experience, professionalism, and market knowledge made the process smooth, quick, and relatively stress free. She and her team (Stan and Regina) provided excellent communication on all aspects of the sale and were helpful in providing solutions to problems. When I needed a contractor to resolve an electrical issue they recommended an electrician who solved the problem at a reasonable rate. Stan even removed some vertical blind hardware himself. They all provided help in selling my home in a calm and competent manner. I couldn't recommend them more."

"We needed to sell two townhouses in The Pinecrest (west Alexandria VA) after my mother's death; her home and a rental. The rental had a long-term below-market lease, creating some unique challenges. Earle had deep knowledge of the neighborhood and great contacts with HOA and local handymen. She also had a great network of investors and agents that yielded a fair offer and a timely sale. Earle was available and responsive; she kept us informed of important developments in the sale process for both properties. We would use her again if we had property to sell in that area."

"We had engaged Earle Whitmore to sell Annandale home in 2005 and based on that experience, we called her in 2021 to sell in Fairfax. We continue to be impressed. The EarleHomes team delivered on all counts: professional, thorough advice using both legacy and tactical knowledge of the market and the sales process. She seemed to have a critical reference or data point for everything. Had answers to keep us on track the whole way and provided hand holding when needed. From a repeat customer: Best Realtor in DMV! Thanks."

"We went with Earle when we first purchased our home nearly 6 years ago. When it came time to sell our home, it was only natural that we reached out to her again. Boy are we glad we did...everything was top notch! She provided insight into what needed to be done to stage our home effectively, the right timing of listing, proper pricing, etc. In short, Earle was first class all the way. Whether you are looking to buy a home or sell a home, Earle’s experience, market knowledge, professional network/team, attention to detail, and shrewd negotiation skills are unrivaled in the Northern Virginia/DC area. You will be more than pleased if you utilize her services. I can’t recommend her enough! I only wish we could transport her to our new area across the country to help in our home buying efforts here:)"

"The house is great. Thanks! Just trying to get settled and unpacked but we are very happy. Thanks for all your help in this process! We really appreciated your willingness to work with us from day one to find a home that truly fit us. Buying a home is no small task, but you made it feel much less daunting. Your thoroughness and advocacy on our behalf to ensure we were well informed consumers was much appreciated. We were so pleased with our experience with you are so happy in our new home! We’ll let you know when our baby arrives. Thanks for all the help and good wishes."

"We received confirmation from the bank that our home loan is paid in full. We both breathed a collective sigh of relief–you probably heard us. Thank you for looking out for our interests and making what was painful fiscal process for us bearable. It was reassuring to know you and Stan were anticipating the next steps. Hope all is well in Annandale."

"I chose Earle to sell my investment property because I felt that if anyone could sell my condo in this scary market it would be her. She was the agent for the person who sold me my current home 10 years ago. I was impressed with how she conducted business then and I was very impressed with how she continued to market her services to me since our original encounter. If you use her and listen to her, you will not be disappointed."

"Thank you so much for all of your hard work, dedication and professionalism during the most stressful time of our lives. We appreciate your efforts to keep us informed throughout the entire process of selling our home and for maintaining a calm demeanor even when we were beginning to unravel! It was a very emotional and humbling experience for us and we were grateful to have your expertise and guidance in helping us through it."

"I just wanted to drop you a note to express our sincere thanks for the tremendous job you and your marvelous team did in getting our home sold so quickly. Hulda and I certainly appreciate the fact that this didn't happen by accident. At the end of the day, it was the result of lots of hard work by knowledgeable, dedicated and committed professionals."

"Your service was above and beyond measure-- not only was your advice calming in a chaotic market, but supported by data and years of experience. I could not have asked for a more judiciously attentive broker. Thank you for all your help and getting the impossible done in such short notice. I would unreservedly recommend you to anyone coming into the area."

"Words cannot express my sincere gratitude for the tremendous service you and your staff provided to me. From our very first meeting all the way to closing and after closing, you live by your mission statement. During the down slope of the housing market your guidance, education, recommendation and mostly your honesty, qualities of a true Realtor, who lives by her mission statement. Together all these qualities led to my successful purchase of my new home, I’m very thankful to have been referred to you. I would enthusiastically recommend you to any future buyers or sellers I come in contact with."

"Thanks SO much for getting me through not only a previous sale and purchase, but for getting me past this market and selling my house in what was probably record time for the market.  You were willing to give me your honest opinion on price and what I'd need to do to make the house picture perfect for a sale. Although we did have to come down in price to meet the lack of demand, you knew right where we needed to be to make it work and still allow me to come out ahead.  Selling a house in these times is hard work and stressful beyond anything I've ever experienced before in real estate, but you kept me on course and focused on the goal...a SALE.  I'm only sorry you aren't working in Delaware."

"Thank you so much for helping me to sell my condo and find the perfect place to live in Reston. Your full service team felt like family. I know your recommendations on staging my condo and the timing to put it on the market was key in it selling so quickly. Anyone selling in Pinecrest should be using you as a realtor! Your suggestion for me to find a short term rental until I find the right area to buy a house was right on. I love my new home. The neighborhood is perfect and meets all my needs. Thanks again for everything."

"I want to thank you all for your excellence and professionalism during our home buying adventure. We have been very busy painting, nailing, screwing and measuring since closing. None of which would have been possible without you all. Words cannot express our happiness."

"Thank you very much for your assistance and guidance provided for the purchase of my first home! I could not have done this without you and your team!"

"We love our new home! Thank you to you, Stan and Jennifer for all the hard work and attention given to us. From beginning to end (the welcome basket was a sweet surprise) our experience has been 5 Star!! If you find yourself nearby, please do give a call--a visit for some coffee or tea and to chat would be delightful."

"I want to thank you, Stan, and Shannon once again for representing me well and for all the work (and specifically, your attention to all details) during the extensive processes of selling our condo, and purchasing our new home. I know you guys all worked hard for Belinda and me, and we truly appreciate it. Also, I want to let you know that I did receive the "rent back" deposit from Gateway title yesterday."

"Just a quick but sincere note to thank you. You’re the best Realtor I’ve had in 30 years. In this housing environment you listed and sold my house in one day. Who can beat that record? I “brag” about you to all my friends and business associates.YOU’RE THE BEST!!"

"Earle did a fantastic job in helping me buy my first home in the DC area. She was patient as we looked through zillions of condos, and even as I suspended my search for several months. Once we found the perfect place, she and her team of professionals made the inspection, efficient, professional and--dare I say?--fun process."

"Rather than just showing me houses to buy, Earle instead took a different approach with me. She took the time to educate me on the Washington DC housing market. She patiently showed me houses that could work, and houses that she knew wouldn't work. By taking this approach, she could quickly gauge what would be the right house for my family.  This approach was very time consuming for Earle.  But, in the end, it turned out to be the most effective way.  We love our new home and couldn't have done it without Earle."

"I just wanted to drop you a note to express our sincere thanks for the tremendous job you and your marvelous team did in getting our home sold so quickly.  Hulda and I certainly appreciate the fact that this didn't happen by accident. At the end of the day, it was the result of lots of hard work by knowledgeable, dedicated and committed professionals."

"From the first time that I interviewed Earle as a potential agent, I knew that she was the one I trusted to sell our townhouse.  She displayed a remarkable knowledge of not only the real estate environment but she had done her homework on our property before we met.  Her communication skills are excellent and she listened to what my husband and I wanted but also gave us good advice.  After we signed the contract, we knew that we were in good hands as the saying goes.  She pays attention to every detail and her support staff is just the best.  The house sold in 5 days and it was absolutely hassle free and a wonderful experience. I would recommend her to anyone."

"Earle came recommended to us from a friend who had sold a few months before us. It proved to be an excellent recommendation as Earle and her team managed to quickly sell our home in an extremely challenging market for sellers. I believe our home was the only one to go under contract, let alone sell, in our neighborhood within the past 3 months. Without Earle's knowledge of the market and creative marketing, our home may be still be for sale. If you need to sell your home, then you need to call Earle."

"Your service was above and beyond measure-- not only was your advice calming in a chaotic market, but supported by data and years of experience. I could not have asked for a more judiciously attentive broker. Thank you for all your help and getting the impossible done in such short notice. I would unreservedly recommend you to anyone coming into the area."

"The purpose of this note is to thank you for the excellent professional services that you provided to us in expeditiously selling our home in Annandale, Virginia. Your advertising of the property, compensated for a severe buyers market with an excess of properties for sale and a poor number of sales in the months proceeding the sale of our house. Your superb management skills extended to the closing date where you not only represent our interests but also dealt with a difficult buyer. I have only admiration for you business skills and would seek your assistance if we need to sell another property."

"Now that we’ve worked on the house, moved our stuff in, painted over (most of) the pink, and looked around, we can’t believe we have a house. We know you put in countless hours to make sure we ended up with the right place which we appreciate so much because this was the only house we both agreed on. I am shocked and awed at how much time it takes to go to closing, and know you all did more than we could ever comprehend. We are so thankful that you put in all that hard work. We can’t thank you enough for helping us buy our fist home."

"I have had the pleasure of working with Earle several times both to buy and sell homes. She is extremely knowledgeable and goes the extra mile by providing referrals for your mortgage, home inspection, closing, etc. I would definitely use Earle again and would recommend her to my family and friends."

"Thank you so much for all of your hard work, dedication and professionalism during the most stressful time of our lives. We appreciate your efforts to keep us informed throughout the entire process of selling our home and for maintaining a calm demeanor even when we were beginning to unravel! It was a very emotional and humbling experience for us and we were grateful to have your expertise and guidance in helping us through it."

"My wife and I have known Earle and Stan Whitmore since December of 2000. They have been our Real Estate Agents and life coaches since we have known them. We have purchased 2 homes and sold 2 homes with them. Earle and Stan are well established agents that do not need clients, they want clients. There is a vast difference between agents who do their jobs motivated by money versus agents who love what they do and make sure their clients are making the best possible real estate decisions. This is Earle and Stan. With Earle and Stan Whitmore as my agents I feel safe knowing that any decision I make at the end of the day will be made with the best possible information to support my decision. They truly take care of business the way things are supposed to be done and with the utmost respect for their clients."

"I just wanted to close our business relationship with a few words of appreciation. As you will recall, I selected you as my Realtor in the sale of my house after a competition among top sellers in Springfield/Fairfax area. I was impressed with the quality of products you had to offer and your extensive experience, expertise, and apparent diligence. I was not surprised that you and your team exceeded all my expectations. I appreciated your guidance for a quick sale and associated recommendations regarding staging, pre-inspection fix-ups and movers. As you will recall, the process was exemplary in its results and I could not have had better representation during the buyer selection and closing process. Again, thanks for the best in seller support that I could have ever expected and I wish you the best for the future."

"This is the first time we have had complete trust and confidence in a realtor who had our best interest at heart. Earle and her team dotted i’s and crossed the t’s of every start to finish detail. Her due diligence and professionalism secured us a wonderful home that has met all of our needs and more. Earle has years of experience with the area, is trustworthy, detailed, and does not mince words; she will look you in the eye and give you valuable, uncommon honesty throughout the process. Not only did she help us find Carolyn to trust with our VA mortgage, her team was a wealth of knowledge when it came to the home inspection. We have no hesitation recommending Earle Whitmore to our closest friends and family."
