TESTIMONIALS

"Several times in the last three years, Hill has been a great help to me moving in, buying, leasing, buying again, leasing again, and moving out of the Washington DC area. Due to the international nature of my work I am currently out of the country. Regardless, his number is on my cell phone speed dial for when I repatriate!"

--Antonio DiStefano, Washington, DC and Dubai, United Arab Emirates

"Hill Slowinski makes the renting process painless. He’s everything you would want in an agent- reliable, dedicated, hardworking and attentive to your needs. I had two weeks to find and move into a rental during Christmas-and Hill found a way to get it done. He goes above and beyond the call of duty for any agent. Case in point for me-he literally picked up crickets in my rental house to get it ready for me to live in. Anyone would be lucky to have him as their representative."

--Terri Lakowski, Esq., CEO Active Policy Solutions, Washington, DC

"Dear Hill.

"You gave me a good chuckle by saying you know I'm not at a loss for words! In all seriousness, you have made a very difficult task of cleaning out and selling a home 3000 miles away that I know nothing about into a very easy and wonderful experience and I am extremely grateful to you. I can't thank you enough for your help and your guidance. You have been there consistently for me and answered my inquiries immediately. You've even gone so far as taking me to Home Depot while I was in town to guide me in purchases there! That's above and beyond! I am so impressed with how easily this whole transition has gone and I'm thrilled that the buyer is as happy as I am. Thank you Hill. I wish you were in Southern California so I could send everyone I know to you!"

-- Linda Peterson, West Covina, CA

"Hill,

"I wanted to take a moment to thank you for all your time, effort and commitment with the search ultimately finding the excellent location reducing my office commute to less than 5 minutes. Fantastic results! I could not have achieved with out you. With all of the “what can you do for me realtors” out today it is a pleasure to have found someone form the old school of customer service/satisfaction comes first. The extremely short find time I faced was a walk in the park thanks to you. I look forward to working with you again in the future."

"To Whom It May Concern:

"I would certainly recommend that you consider contacting Hill Slowinski for his advice and input. We work with many, many real estate agents and he one of the best. In my opinion, he is at the top of a very small list of true professionals in the real estate brokerage business in this region."

-- William Z. Fox, CAI, Chairman & CEO
-- John W. Mabry III, AARE, President & COO

"Dear Hill,

"Thank for all of your work, for taking care of all the details, your time and effort put in getting the parsonage to settlement and into making the sale. You are a great "team" and it is exciting to know that the sale [is] finalized I know that most/many realtors would not have done the due diligence you did. It is a big weight off of many of our shoulders."

-- Carol Sissala, President, Board of Trustees
Potomac United Methodist Church, Potomac, MD

"Hill,

"I would like to thank you and your clients for making this transaction so smooth and a true partnership between buyer and seller. I have been party to a few previous real estate transactions, and none went as easily as this one, due in no small part to the hard work, attention to detail and focus of you and Heidi. Very best regards, "

-- Greg S. Pruett, Alemeda, CA

"Dear Hill and WC & AN Miller/Long & Foster,

"I want to express my appreciation for the work that Hill Slowinski did for us. Often, I would call him at the last moment to ask if he had time to show me another gem that I found on the internet. He always figured out a way to see them very soon after I called. But most of all, I would like to comment on his intelligence about the real estate business. We had other issues and questions from the sale of our home handled by another agent from another company that regularly was selling properties over a million dollars. Her manner consistently made me feel as if our property was not worth her time. She wasn't even with us at settlement. In contrast, Hill helped us through both our sale and purchase. We wish that we had listed with him for the sale of our home, alas the papers were signed.

"We heartily endorse Hill and will tell all our friends about him when they need help. His newsletters give his clients an accurate viewpoint of the real estate world and his manner and intelligence on the subject is one to pay attention to. Thank you Hill!"

--- Katy and Stuart Hunt, Silver Spring, MD

"Dear Hill,

"I am deeply grateful for your professional service and careful attention to detail. It was a fine experience to deal with someone who shared my desire for an exceptional tenant. You and your distinguished company played a crucial role in the transaction, and I am very pleased. It would be a privilege to refer anyone I know to you. I look forward to continued association as business may require. Thank you."

--- George B. Lane, Jr., Ph.D., Bethesda and Gaithersburg, MD

"Dear Hill,

"I would like to thank you for the outstanding service. You really made the process of buying our riverfront vacation property as easy as it possibly could have been. I have never had real estate agent take care of so many details for me before. Buying a property and performing a feasibility study from four-hours drive away could have been a tedious task. Thanks for doing all the hard work. I would not dream of using another agent. Merry Christmas!"

---- Peter & Susie Fougerousse, Cary, NC and Charles County, MD

“Hill Slowinski did a terrific job on the recent sale of our house. He was always available, helpful, and informative as we went through the process of listing and then the sale of our home. His due diligence led to the successful completion of the sale in a short period of time. Most sales wouldn't have been as smooth nor would all realtors have given us the daily attention that we received from Mr. Slowinski. We truly appreciate how easy he made everything for us.”

--- John and Carol Sissala, Frederick, MD

"Dear Hill!

"Let me take this opportunity to thank you and your colleague for a fantastic job on this deal. I really liked the competent, thoughtful, sometimes passionate, always sincere handling of the search phase as well as the good care you took of us in every sense! In the offer and negotiations phase I really appreciated your strong advice which ultimately made this a strong and decisive offer! Finally, I really liked the good teamwork you displayed in the final phase. Hill, you really added value in addition to standing in for your colleague! I liked how confidently your colleague handed the contract over in the final phase and fully empowered you to take over!"

--- Cheers, Ulrich Hess, Washington, DC

"Hill --

"You know we deal with many REALTORS and I know I speak for John as well when I say that you are one of the very FEW true professionals out there. "

"I work in a high-pressure corporate environment on transportation megaprojects. I had to move to Washington quickly, but I didn't have much time to search for housing. Hill came through and was able to find a premium in-town condominium with the best views of Washington and its landmarks. Plus I had fun working with him!"

--- Antonio DiStefano, Washington, DC

"We had a family move to make from New York to Bethesda and we couldn't have been luckier to have had the assistance of Hill Slowinski. He knew every inch of the neighborhoods we were interested in. He had grown up and raised his family in the area so his knowledge of the details of neighborhoods and life was extraordinary. We truly felt that Hill gave us first class service—incredibly timely, rapid responses, and once we settled on a home he kept all aspects moving for us when both we and the owners were out of town. He never lost a detail and was there to meet us with keys the morning of our “move in” day. Hill was the glue that held our move together in the most professional and courteous manner. Absolutely the right choice!"

--- Lisa Mensah and Barry Ford, Bethesda, MD

"Hill,

"You did an excellent job for me and my father in negotiating the terms of his co-op purchase and advising us on each facet through settlement. We look forward to having you represent us in the near future when we put his house on the market."

Willem Polak, Alexandria, VA

"We have bought and sold half a dozen houses in our lives. Hill Slowinski was at the top of the list of those representing us over the years. Hill is super-competent, thorough, and on top of his game. He knew the answers to any questions we had and represented us the way a careful lawyer should. Not only that, he was a pleasure to work with: courteous, kind and thoughtful."

--- Michael D. Langan, Joanne E. Langan, Naples, FL

"In our move from Manhattan to the Bethesda area, we worked with Hill for over fifteen months looking for a condo that could fulfill our relatively stringent requirements. Hill’s enduring patience and reliability during an often frustrating search were major factors enabling us to finally find a new home that fully met expectations. In addition, Hill’s knowledge of local market conditions proved of great value in facilitating a speedy, fair and successful negotiation."

--- M. C. Lang & Gene Burkett, Bethesda, MD

"Hill wasn’t even our agent when we were treated to his premier services. We were overseas when Hill’s clients, our new tenants, moved in earlier this year, so we asked if he could take care of the handover after our own agent declined. No hesitation, no charge for what has been one of the best service experiences I have encountered. While we weren’t his clients it certainly felt like we were his top priority. Hill’s dedication and people-first approach has won some new clients."

--- Chris Dermody, Bethesda, MD

"In 2006, 2007, and again in 2009 Hill Slowinski acted as our real estate agent to identify and sign up tenants for short term rentals while we were out of town. Our house was fully furnished and we naturally wanted tenants who would take care of the premises and cause us no problems. On both counts we couldn't have been more pleased. On the first occasion, I was out of town when the tenant was signed up. Hill went carefully over the house and purchased items (e.g., smoke alarm, a/c filters) that we had neglected. He speedily drew up contracts that met our needs and those of the tenants. Once or twice when we got into a technical mess with the county over some obscure regulatory requirements, Hill found ways to resolve the problems to the satisfaction of all. Even after his job of arranging the rental was finished, Hill was always and quickly available for consultation and advice whenever a problem arose. I could always trust his technical knowledge and judgment. "My wife and I would heartily recommend Hill to anyone seeking an agent to handle a rental or sale."

--- Henry Precht, Bethesda, MD

"Dear Hill,

"We could not be happier that you found and we now enjoy a gem of a penthouse condo – and our first choice from the many we saw! And given that we needed to find something and settle in quickly, it all happened in only six weeks – 3 weeks from search to contract, and 3 weeks from contract to settlement – an impressive timeframe considering it was a separation of 2 units involving permitting, construction, inspections, and a negotiation with D.C.’s Tax Office! Your oversight and management of the complex processes and legal documentation was excellent. We will enthusiastically recommend you to all!"

--- Rusty, Jennifer, and Kit Johnson, Washington, DC and Sykesville, MD

"Dear Hill,

"I do appreciate the attention you gave to [selling my home] … I have been impressed (as I knew I would be) with your enthusiasm and professionalism in dealing with this listing.. [you] have been fabulous and we hope that Miller recognizes your tremendous asset to the company! It was only because of you that we went with Miller. … I will, OF COURSE, sing your praises to anyone I know interested in real estate! ... [Y]ou are a tremendous agent – I truly feel that you have been doing a fabulous job on advising me and getting the word out on my house, even within this ridiculous environment."

--- Lynn Rogerson, Alexandria, VA

"To Whom It May Concern:

" Hill Slowinski arranged what we thought was impossible. Our family of four needed a temporary home while our own house was undergoing renovation and expansion. Hill located a private home just two blocks away from ours in our own neighborhood, negotiated a lease with very careful owners, and coordinated the terms to meet ours and the owners' needs. With Hill's involvement, the process was flawless and extremely well organized. All we had to do was write a few checks! Hill far exceeded our expectations and made the transaction seem effortless."

--- Stephanie and Randy Beehler, Bethesda, MD

'Dear Hill:

"We were delighted to read … about the excellent job you did with the Inauguration event for Leasing Services. This is certainly deserving of a special Long & Foster Service Award. It is people like you that help make Long & Foster as successful as it has been over these last 41 years. We appreciate it and thank you."
