ZillowVERIFIEDWe couldnt have asked for a better realtor! Barak guided us through both selling our previous home and purchasing our new one with incredible professionalism, patience, and expertise. His knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and honest advice made the entire process smooth and stress-free. If youre looking for a dedicated, trustworthy, and hardworking realtor, go with Barak.

ZillowVERIFIEDBarrett was patient, professional, and attentive in helping us make our first home purchase. He has a great sense of the market and what it takes to make the right bid. The home buying process can be a bit of a rollercoaster, and we second guessed ourselves plenty. Barrett did a great job of helping us make the decisions that were true to ourselves and always kept our best interests in mind. In the end we closed on a house that suits us very well for a price were happy with. The Sky group back him up well in helping to close the bid and organize the rest of the buying process. I wouldnt hesitate to reach out to Barrett again to buy or sell, and strongly recommend him to others

ZillowVERIFIEDGreat realtor that held my hand throughout the entire process, especially since I was a first time homebuyer. He is very reliable and a great communicator: he will pick up your calls or will return them as soon as he can. I will strongly recommend him as a realtor as I had great experience working with him.

ZillowVERIFIEDAll I can say is....WOW!!!!! Barak and his entire team are amazing. They led us through the entire transaction, from searching for a residence to closing in the smoothest way possible. Barak's recommended third party folks, like a mortgage broker, were equally skilled. Responsiveness was out of this world. While purchasing a home can be a stressful experience, that's not the case with Barak!! Thanks for the help!!!!!

ZillowVERIFIEDIt was such a great honor to have Barak represent me again. Along with his outstanding team- Allison, Pauline, and Chris- he did a superb job as usual. Not only is Barak friendly, he also genuinely cares about the situation you will present to him and will do his utmost best to deliver great results. I worked with him before, a few years ago, and his work ethic, dedication to delivering the best possible outcome, along with his level of professionalism has not decreased, if anything he has raised his already exceptionally high standards even more. And these standards are easily noticeable across his entire team- a mirror extension of him. Regardless how many clients they have, you are made feel as if you are the only and most important client at the moment, they are responsive, attentive and make the process seamless. Barak goes above and beyond to deliver results in a timely fashion. He has mastered real estate knowledge, built solid connections in the industry, and knows the in and out of the market well enough to advise you appropriately. He is a gift to the real estate industry; he is that anointed miracle realtor you have been looking for. Whether you are seeking to purchase or sell, regardless of how challenging it might have been, seek no more for Barak and his team will help you make that deal you thought impossible. Do not miss this unique opportunity to work with the best team!

ZillowVERIFIEDBy far the smoothest and easiest homebuying process ever. I was with a previous realtor for over a year and the house fell out of contract twice and experienced a plethora of inexperienced mistakes. Everything with Barak, his team members Allison and Pauline, was incredibly easy. They lined everything up for me and made my lift non-existent other than signing documents. They even took care of payments for me only to be reimbursed once the sale was complete. I cannot recommend this team enough. They were timely, responsive, and directive in what they needed from me. 5/5

ZillowVERIFIEDMy wife and I recently bought a house and sold a condo with Barak and his team, and we highly recommend the Sky Group. Specifically: (1) Barak is an experienced realtor: - Barak knows the DMV market well and has a great feel for how competitive certain properties will be, which allowed us to accurately price offers when buying and our condo when selling. - When buying, Barak added significant value through his deep understanding of how sellers evaluate offers. With Baraks guidance, we were able to maximize our offers competitiveness without increasing offer price or buying without an inspection by improving other terms (e.g., increasing EMD) that sellers value. After closing, we spoke with friends who had recently purchased homes, and they wished their realtors had added value in this manner. (2) Barak has strong relationships in the industry: - Barak has a lot of connections in the industry that were helpful throughout the buying and selling process. When buying, we viewed off-market houses and were connected to developers. When selling, Barak connected us with his favorite contractor to fix up the place before we listed. Baraks connections clearly help him to stay current on the state of the market. - We were impressed by Baraks ability to work well with other realtors. When buying, Barak stays in contact with the sellers agents to understand timing and competitiveness of the house. For the house we purchased, Barak was able to identify a key offer term that interested the sellers but that we could not find in any listing platform, and we were able to include that term in our offer to maximize competitiveness. (3) Barak has a great team: When we started this process, we did not appreciate how important it was for a realtor to have a team. Now, we could not imagine conducting a real estate transaction without a team. Apart from Baraks value, the Sky Group made buying and selling easy: - The Sky Groups transaction manager, Allison, helps the process go smoothly from the time the contract is signed through closing, dealing with lenders, appraisers, title companies, etc. - We moved out before we sold our condo, and the Sky Groups listing coordinator, Jane, coordinated repairs, staging, listing, etc. to make the process easy for us.

ZillowVERIFIEDThe Sky Group were suggested to us by a friend to sell our house. Barak and his team took care of everything and got us top dollar for our house. We were very pleased with their work and their results. Give them a call to sell your house with peace of mind.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I found Anna by chance- we were curious about a property in Takoma Park and saw her name on the listing. She called back almost immediately to discuss our home buying needs. Even though that property wouldn't work for us, I could tell within minutes that she would be an easy person to get along with and had a lot of great knowledge about the real estate market. We quickly got to work with Anna and were very happy with her response time to questions, requests, opinions on houses and areas, the market, etc. When it came time to make an offer on a house we loved, she did a great job communicating with the other agent quickly and knew insight in order to make us a more attractive offer (such as, a stronger down payment, going just a little over our offer price, waving contingencies in a seller's market, writing a letter.) All of these things paid off and we got our house! One of the best things about Anna is her team at The Sky Group too- each member is so responsive and organized, that it made it easy to schedule appointments and understand next steps! In particular, we LOVED Kim, their design coordinator in charge of staging our house to sell. She made our house come together so nicely and was a blast to work with. We are very glad we went with The Sky Group.

ZillowVERIFIEDBarak is the best in the business! He leverages the latest tech (including access to off-market listings), has a great understanding of the DMV market, and has an awesome team to help out with any request. In a super competitive market, having an agent like Barak can be the difference between winning and losing. I can honestly say we would NOT have won the house we did without his expert guidance.

ZillowVERIFIEDI would like to think Chris Yurko and his team at the Sky Group at Long and Foster so much!! It was my wife and Is first time buying a house, and Chris really went above and beyond for us. We really felt that we could call him at any time. Any questions that we had he always was able to answer them and explain things in a way that we could understand, because to be honest, we had no idea about any part of this process. He was very transparent and we truly felt that he had our best interest at heart. I'm so glad that we chose to go with him for our first house. He treated us like family and I feel thats how it should be. We trusted him with the biggest decision of our lives and he really came through for us. So, thank you Chris and everyone who assisted!!

ZillowVERIFIEDBarak and his team were so helpful and attentive. As a first-time home buyer, I was a bit lost and anxious, but Barak made sure I had all the information I needed, was asking the right questions, and put me in touch with other excellent service providers, from my lender to home inspector and a repair service. I'm so grateful for him and his team---1000% recommend them to any one!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe worked with Anna and her team over a roughly six-month period buying our new home and selling our old one. On both sides, the experience was exceptional. As a buyer's agent, Anna understood the rapidly changing and very competitive DC market. When we located a property, she helped us put in a competitive bid. She also provided great recommendations for financing. Ultimately, our bid was accepted and we got the home of our dreams! On the seller's side, Anna had a strong sense of what buyers were looking for. She helped coordinate a facelift for our old home that made it more attractive. She and her team bought materials, helped arrange contractors and pretty much took care of everything ahead of listing. We ended up with a lot of interest in the house and it sold quickly for a great price. Other members of Anna's team at Sky Group were every bit as good as she was. Everyone was extremely responsive, competent and friendly. 5.0 star reviews are a dime-a-dozen on the internet, but this was a true 5.0 star experience. We would highly recommend Anna to anyone looking to buy or sell.

ZillowVERIFIEDI had never gone to a showing before, let alone put an offer in. Barak and his team walked me through the whole process. From making sure I had all the forms, to walking me through every single point of a contract. He also did a great job negotiating - saving me a good bit of money at closing. He knows the DC area really well. I looked at dozens of places with him, and he talked me through the pros (and cons) of each place. I was able to move through the process quickly (the whole process only took a few months) without having to settle. Buying a home for the first time was an incredibly daunting experience, but Barak and his team made it manageable, and if/when I buy again in DC, I plan on working with them again.

ZillowVERIFIEDBarak and his team are excellent. He has a team of hardworking professionals that are prompt and on top of the myriad tasks that go along with home buying. He's responsive with your questions, following up with sellers, and helping to get things sorted out-- especially crucial for a first time home buyer like myself. He also has an excellent relationship with builders, developers, and sellers across the DMV and that's something you can benefit from. He showed me numerous properties that hadn't even hit the market yet. Ultimately the home I chose to make my own was never advertised and that helped because it was mine before anyone had a chance to engage me in a bidding war. That wouldn't have been possible without Barak's relationships. More than that Barak makes the entire experience very personal, and takes excellent care of his clients. You really feel like you matter to Barak. And that's because you do!

ZillowVERIFIEDIt is my pleasure to provide feedback on my experience working with Josh Warner. I did not do a lot of research to find a relator when I decided to sell my co-op and look for a new condominium to buy in downtown Bethesda. I was familiar with the Sky Group because my sister worked with them when she purchased her house in Bethesda and had an excellent experience. So, I reached out and received an immediate response from Josh. I felt as if I hit the jackpot. I could tell from his professionalism, communications style, experience, patience and overall demeanor that he was a very good match. He proved that time and again with his thorough knowledge of the local market. He focused first and foremost on helping me find a home that met my needs rather than closing the deal. Throughout the past several months, Josh has been there every step of the way. He always answered every call or text no matter what time of day or night and he always signed off by saying "my pleasure." His mentorship, honesty and hard work ethic are beyond reproach. He walked me through every step of the negotiations during the sale of my co-op through the purchase of the condo I fell in love with. Josh recommended an excellent finance agent to assist in purchasing my new home, referred me to an amazing crew of movers that made for a speedy transition and much stress reduction. He absolutely surpassed my expectations. The best part is that I feel like I have a new friend and a friendship that will continue to grow.

ZillowVERIFIEDI truly believe that without Barak as my agent, my offer would not have been chosen over the other multiple offers we were up against (even ones with higher asking prices). His solid reputation and relationships in the industry go a long way. Having the support of his team, especially Carri, throughout the entire process was extremely comforting. She was super responsive, accessible, and made sure that none of my questions went unanswered. Barak and team really go the extra mile to make their clients feel excited throughout the home- buying process. I am so happy that I worked with Barak to purchase my first home!

But thanks to Baraks creative thinking, we were able to submit an offer to a seller whod delisted her property, and our offer was accepted! We still cant believe what The Sky Group managed to pull off despite the challenging market condition. Barak and his team are truly first-class professionals, respected even by their competitors.

ZillowVERIFIEDOn a recommendation from a friend, we recently worked with Barak and his team on buying our first home in the DC suburbs. The process couldn't have gone more smoothly. Barak is a skilled real estate professional with a unique knowledge of the DMV real estate market. He found us our perfect home in a neighborhood we would never have found without him, and advised us on how to win a bidding war to get it. He is a straight-shooter who tells it like it is. Barak and his team, including Carri, Tristan, and Josh, are all extremely helpful and professional. As first-time homebuyers, we really appreciated the attention to detail from the Sky Group throughout the process. Barak is a trusted advisor and someone we will think of as a friend for years to come. We will strongly recommend him to anyone in need of a realtor. Thank you so much, Barak!

ZillowVERIFIEDWithout Barak's knowledge of the market /area and expertise when putting in our offer, I know we would not have had our offer selected! We were one of three offers put in on the house one day after going on the market and the sellers chose ours thanks to Barak's guidance. And it was the first house we put an offer on! Barak worked seamlessly with our lender and made the whole process as smooth as can be. As first-time homebuyers, we had a LOT of questions and Barak answered them all and more. He made us feel comfortable and eased our worries. To be first-time homebuyers in a pandemic was definitely scary, but with Barak & his great team, we truly had nothing to worry about! If you're looking to buy in the DC metro area - definitely reach out to Barak & his team!

ZillowVERIFIEDI connected with Anna through Zillow, and was hesitant to use an agent who was not recommended by a personal contact. However, it was immediately clear that Anna is extremely knowledgeable about the DC market, and willing to spend the time to help me to find the right fit. I was a first-time home buyer, and I had a million process-related questions. Anna and Carri Wheatley from Sky Group patiently answered all of them, and spent a lot of time negotiating on my behalf with the seller. The whole process was less stressful than anticipated, and I highly recommend Anna's services!

ZillowVERIFIEDBarak Sky is an amazing agent. After months of suffering through failed deals and bad agents, I needed a new agent who aEURoegot itaEUR? and found Barak on Instagram of all places. At first I wasnt sure what to expect with his funny videos, but me let assure you when it comes to finding your house, there is no one who works harder. Are you tired of pushy agents who are in a rush to only get a commission? I was and Barak is not only efficient, but also hes sincere and patient. Want to look at 5 houses and not make an offer? Not an issue with Barak. I sensed he was more interested in making a connection so he could get us what we actually wanted regardless of how much time it took and 6 months later thats exactly what worked. Barak is the type of agent I would recommend to any potential client. I would also recommend some of the other members of the Sky Group: Tristan Alleyne, Chris Yurko, and Carri Wheatley. Top notch realtors who went above and beyond to make my wife and I very comfortable with our home purchase and getting out of a potentially very bad one.

ZillowVERIFIEDBarak was an absolute pleasure to work with on my search to find my first home. Barak spent a couple different Saturdays with me showing me several places that he thought would be a good fit for me. After getting my feedback on which places/areas I liked best, he was able to tailor an even better list for me to view on my next touring day. I never felt pressured into buying a certain place, and he took all of my feedback sincerely. Barak was a great resource to talk to about the pros and cons of each place when I was making my final decision. Once I decided on a place, Barak and his team helped me with the whole process of making sure everything went smoothly. I would highly recommend Barak to anyone looking to purchase a home

ZillowVERIFIEDJosh is a standout, dedicated, and caring agent. He stands by you and represents you to the utmost degree of ethics, professionalism, and most importantly what you want. I was sent to him by another agent who represents the DC/VA area. Josh was given a VERY aggressive goal to find me the perfect home in less than 2 months. Moving from Florida to Maryland, my timeline was extremely aggressive as I had to be out of my previous apartment in Florida by June and I had only moved up to Maryland late March. From April to late May, we searched high and low to find the perfect home. Josh was extremely helpful in navigating the market and pinpointing locations that were on my hit list. We were dealt every wild card you could possibly imagine and even had moments where we both felt a bit defeated; however, through thick and thin, Josh made every single effort to ensure that at the end of our searching I got exactly what I had envisioned. This is where Josh truly overdelivered on his promise. Every single attribute (price, location, style) of a home that I listed from day one was checked off and it was because Josh never gave up on our search, on me, nor on himself. Josh is an optimistic, charismatic, and a collaborative partner in crime. It will be odd not speaking to him everyday but in the end we gained a mutually beneficial relationship and learned so much from the entire process. My favorite part about working with Josh was that it never felt like we were working. We were able to have fun, joke, and enjoy the process together even through our tougher moments. Thank you Josh and the Sky Group for everything you did to welcome me back to home to Maryland! I am truly grateful and will always have a special place in my heart for Josh!

ZillowVERIFIEDA HUGE thank you to Josh Warner over at The Sky Group of Long & Foster Real Estate. When I first started my journey to buying my first home, he was there 100% of the way. He was very knowledgeable and always responsive to any of my questions. AND THERE WERE MANY lol. This was my first home buying experience and I was SUPER nervous about making such a BIG commitment to owning a home. He made me feel at ease through the whole processes and I never felt pressured while looking for my home. He was understanding, PATIENT and encouraged me to not rush it. I look forward to working with Josh again in the future and HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I talked with lots of agents in the area before deciding to work with Barak. We were both impressed at how quickly Barak understood what we were looking for and immediately identified the areas that we should focus our search. While his system automatically sent us emails with new postings, Barak was quick to email about other listings that had not been officially posted or to emphasis a listing that he though had potential. During our search, he was very responsive and got us in to see houses quickly which turned out to be super important as offers were often due within days. As we worked through closing, Barak and his team were great about answering our questions and helped to get everything taken care of so that we were able to close in less than a month. When a few issues came up after the sale due to the fault of the seller's realtor, Barak did not just disappear. Instead he did everything within his power to make sure that things were settled. Thank you Sky Group for helping us find our home!

ZillowVERIFIEDTLDR: TOTES. AMAZEBALLS. Barak was a referral from a trusted friend of ours and during our first meeting, we presented him with quite the challenge (in my mind at least): we were first time home buyers with zero knowledge about buying a home in DC, a lease that was ending shortly, and a very specific list of location, price, and amenities requirements for our future home. Not only was he not concerned about the aforementioned challenge but promised us it this process was going to be fun. It's so obvious that Barak loves what he does and his enthusiasm about all things real estate is super contagious. He was INCREDIBLY responsive to ALL of our questions 24/7 (we had a lot of questions) and he and his team (love you Yasemin and Clark!!) worked like a well oiled machine from the minute we put an offer in to closing (and even after!!). We felt super supported throughout the entire process and could not be happier with our brand new condo. Thank you Barak and the Sky Group for everything!!!

ZillowVERIFIEDI promised Barak that if he could help us sell our townhouse AND get our forever dream house in Palm Springs, CA, that I would be writing this review by our pool in that Palm Springs dream home (which I'm doing right now :)). We switched from a prior realtor to Barak and his Sky team after we were getting into a time crunch with selling our townhouse in Silver Spring, MD in order to purchase our forever dream home in Palm Springs, CA. It seemed like we might lose our forever home in Palm Springs due to an expiring contingency contract, but Barak and his team really brought their A-game to help us achieve our goals. When it seemed like our negotiations with selling our townhouse were going to fail. Barak went the extra step to make it happen (which I am forever grateful for). Thank you, Barak!! And Josh Warner was great as our open-house "face" -- he brought a lot of expertise, knowledge and enthusiasm in hosting our open houses. Anna Mackler was great with quickly identifying some staging changes that made a big difference in showcasing our home. Their teamwork was great, and I would highly recommend Barak, Anna, and/or Josh as a realtor.

ZillowVERIFIEDI have to say, I lucked out. The very first time I pressed the button on Zillow to express interest in seeing a property, I ended up meeting Nick. I was brand new to home-hunting and, admittedly, quite naive. Immediately, I could tell Nick was a kind person who would be easy to work with. He handed me his card at the end of the viewing, but wasn't pushy, which I appreciated. I reached out to him and he encouraged me to keep looking and, it turned out, had already done some searches to find properties that might meet my needs. Nick then took the time to get to know me and my hopes for the future - not just what I was looking for in a property. Nick and I traveled a long road together - with many bumps along the way - over the course of the next few months, but I'm glad I had him along for the ride. He navigated tough situations with grace and established positive relationships with all parties involved. He was incredibly responsive, offered sound guidance, and was patient with me even when he didn't fully agree with my views or approach. And he recognized when a consultation with his Sky Group team was needed, which gave me confidence that I had a group of people working in my best interest. In the end, I ended up with the best property possible for my budget in DC and still can't believe "we did it!" If you're looking for an agent who will be a partner in the home buying process, who puts your needs first whenever possible, cares about you as a human, not just as a home-buyer, and maintains an optimistic, positive attitude, even during tough times, Nick is your guy.

ZillowVERIFIEDLet's be real. We all have this vision of what looking for a new home is going to be like... we're going to LOVE everything we see, and every home will have convenient open houses with free drinks and food. The reality for my wife and I was that looking for a home for us and our small daughter was a series of unresponsive owners/agents who couldn't meet us at the times we wanted and over-sold the property and didn't really understand what we wanted. This went on for months. Frustrated, I contacted Nick Veizaga at The Sky Group. Before we even talked about locations or houses or prices, Nick spent the better part of an hour on the phone with us asking about our interests, our careers, our growing family, and everything else that helped him to understand who we are. Nick took that information, filtered in our budget, and lined up three full days of showings. He picked us up, he had keys to every house, he knew the details of the surrounding area as well as the minutiae of the home itself such as when the windows had been installed and how old the roofing was. The home we found was exactly what we were looking for and we got it at a bargain, thanks to Nick's knowledge of the neighborhood market and understanding of the sales cycle. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to put down roots in the Washington D.C. area.

ZillowVERIFIEDBarak worked tirelessly to find and show homes fitting my parameters- many of which weren't yet on the market. In the end, we closed on a home I had fallen in love with but was already under contract. We ended up with first right of refusal despite multiple higher offers AND closed lower than asking. That wouldn't have happened with someone who had a less sterling reputation or less juice. Barak has continued to be accessible and advocate for me since closing. Can't recommend enough!

If you live on planet earth and you do care about things like money, taking time to choose the right home, and not being rushed into something you don't want, simply hire another broker who actually will care for the the buyer's needs and support them along the way.

ZillowVERIFIEDBarak was immediately likable and always professional from our first meeting through to the final closing of our condo. I can honestly say that we have never worked with an agent that was so accessible and willing to answer questions, manage our concerns, and guide us through the unfamiliar territory of purchasing a condo in DC.
