************TESTIMONIAL***********************************
My goal is to make the process of buying, selling, or owning a home efficient, enjoyable and rewarding for you. See what my clients have said about my real estate services...

"It has been a great pleasure to work with you. We really appreciate the kind of support we got from you during the purchase of our home. We were very new to the process and were very happy to have someone who took time to thoroughly understand our needs and focus on the right kind of properties. The kind of focus you brought to the process was really impressive. We remember to have talked with you numerous times over the phone, and in person, on every little detail of the property and contracts and have got very good advice and quick readdress of issues every time. We also remember how we almost always happened to be the first potential buyer visiting a property, which was very important given the fact that properties were going very fast, because you had the analysis and timing taken care of so well. We are always pleased to recommend you to our friends for their home buying needs. Thanks!"

"Ritu Desai has been extremely helpful in helping me achieve my goal of relocating from Virginia to California. She handled the sale of my Ashburn, VA townhome in a very efficient manner. She did a splendid job of keeping me posted on a daily basis on the happenings surrounding the sale of my VA home while I could focus on my new job in CA. Her fees were very well explained in advance, her process was well thought out and organized and her services were professional. I would strongly recommend her to others seeking to sell their home"

-Vijay Venkatesh



Ritu you went well above and beyond our expectations and we could not be happier with your dealing with the sale of our house and
helping us find our new one. We would recommend your services to anyone looking for a Realtor. Hope you will be around when we are
ready to move up

"Our family just moved into our dream home thanks to the work of Ritu. I have purchased two previous homes with Long and Foster and had received good service. I was drawn to Samson by the 4% commission, but was blown away by the service Ritu provided! The virtual tour was incredible. Her website is very robust and she staged a wonderful open house as soon as we went on the market. Ritu has an excellent feel for what we needed to do to our townhouse to get it ready to sale. She then priced our property perfectly in a field of 20 other townhouses. We had a contract in two days. She then proceeded to show us our dream home and assured me she would be able to get the price we wanted. She did and then she followed up and made sure the rest of the transaction went smoothly. Ritu answered or returned all calls promptly. I would be happy to speak to anyone thinking about using Samson and Ritu"
-Baucom Family

"We cannot thank you enough for your hard work in selling and buying our home in this slow market. She is very knowledgeable about the market, professional and a great negotiator".
