Melinda Estridge is a thorough professional. She knows the local market extremely well and gave us great advice on how much to invest for improvements and timing of our listing. She and her team took care of getting the house work done quickly, with impressive results that made the difference. It worked out very well for us.

We thought Melinda Estridge and her team were superb from start to finish. We followed each of Melinda’s recommendations re preparation of our house for sale. Melinda made the actual sale/bidding process unexpectedly simple for us. On repairs/staging, she has an incredible team of individuals with different expertise. Their fees were all reasonable. We chose Melinda for a number of reasons which also included the fact that her mother many years ago had taught me the stock market while she worked far below her skill level as the assistant to a broker. We learned not unexpectedly that the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.

We have had the pleasure of working with Bob and Melinda and their team to buy, sell and buy another home. Including Bob and Melinda, the team we worked with consisted of two outstanding agents, Caroline and Theresa and their closing agent Tom, along with Deji who is always on hand to answer any questions. The team are with you every step of the way, communication is excellent and the level of professionalism is second to non. I highly recommend working with The Estridge Group, they get things done!

Estridge group was fantastic, highly recommended

Thank you Melinda! You and your team also made us feel as if we were your only priority. Every question and concern we had were always addressed immediately and professionally. You made the sales process painless and you also got us amazing results. We could not be happier.

Melinda and her team were very proactive when, shortly before we put our house on the market, a neighbor introduced me to an acquaintance of his -- who had a family member who was interested in the house. While cautioning us that such introductions work out only about 1% of the time, Melinda nevertheless immediately halted all ongoing prep work on the house, and then introduced her team-member husband, Bob O'Toole, to the prospective buyer's family, who had no representative and was a home-buying novice. Bob proceeded to spend several days and many tireless hours (well, I'm sure he got tired) providing these prospects with quality even-handed information, guidance and outright advice to help them make a correct and informed decision. Once Bob became close with, and trusted by, the buyer herself, he took the lead and, once the parties had reached an agreement, got the parties across the finish line. (Side story relevant to this entire process: My wife and I knew Melinda from prior home buys/sells -- in fact, as a budding realtor in 1986 she helped us find our first house when we first moved to the DC area from out of state. Knowing her, and later Bob, as well as we did, we had no concerns about conflict-of-interest issues, which the two of them fully vetted both with us and with the prospective buyer's family...displaying a high degree of professionalism and awareness in what was a legally delicate circumstance.) After a vigorous and tense week, we closed an all-cash deal on the day we had intended to go to market. While our purchase price for the home was less than what we had hoped and expected from 18 years of ownership, Melinda and Bob in the run-up had been relentless in explaining to and eventually convincing us of the realities of the current marketplace for homes like ours (7,000 square feet of living space, on 2 acres, purchased 18 years ago for just over $1M, but located in the distant DC suburbs). We're now relocated to SC without the worry of this house.
