ReviewCarmen did a great job selling my condo in a very tough market this summer. Her connections and expert knowledge about the Downtown Silver Spring market is what really made the difference. Additionally, Carmen was always available to answer questions. She also worked with me in a collaborative and informative way when I was alternate ideas about pricing or process. I would recommend her to anyone looking to sell in the Maryland area, especially those looking to sell a condo.

ReviewCarmen and her team are GREAT! I researched extensively online to find a top-notch realtor and team, and I'm very glad and grateful that I chose them. Carmen and all of her team members have been hard-working, patient, and friendly. They were also highly effective and efficient at getting my house sold quickly for a great price. I highly recommend Carmen, who I nicknamed Diamante (Diamond :)

ReviewCarmen was highly recommended by a colleague and she truly exceeded the already high expectations. Carmen and her team are absolutely FANTASTIC! Her Montgomery County knowledge and years of experience as a realtor were invaluable in the purchase of our Rockville home. She is truly a master. If you are buying or selling, I cannot think of a better ally to have on your side. She is very smart and knows how to adapt to challenging circumstances with ease. You feel as if you are her only client, that is the VIP care she provides. I hope to stay in touch with her for many years to come!

ReviewWe were very fortunate to get the opportunity to partner with Carmen. She and her team were wonderful to work with. From our first meeting she was diligent in hearing us out and working closely with us to stage and present the house in the best possible light. She and her team made sure to engage with potential sellers and gave us excellent feedback on the showings, and once a buyer expressed interest she diligently followed up. Once a contract was in place she ensured the communication between us and the buyer was productive, respectful, and effective.

ReviewCarmen was so knowledgeable of the area and understanding my needs. She made the process so easy! What I appreciate most about Carmen is that she continues even years later to stay in contact. This exemplifies true customer service! She would be my first call if I were looking to relocate to another home. I would highly recommend her and her team if you are looking to buy or sell!

ReviewMy father passed away unexpectedly while getting ready to sell his home. Carmen was our realtor and went WAY above and beyond the call of duty helping me get his property sold. She made countless trips to the condo, arrangements with a dozen vendors, and put her own personal work and touch to make the sale go smoothly. I live out of state and had to rely on Carmen's expertise completely. I truly do not know what I would have done without her and her team.

ReviewWe cant recommend Carmen highly enough. She was everything youd want in a realtor: responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in finding the right home for us. She guided us through every step of the process, from organizing viewings through closings, always making us feel like a top priority. Carmen anticipated issues before they came up, gave us candid advice when we needed it, and went above and beyond to make a stressful process feel manageable. Carmen and her team are sharp, organized, and truly put their best selves into their work.

ReviewCarmen and I have completed our fifth home real estate adventure together. As in the past, every step of the process moved seamlessly. She and her team are always available to assist in any way possible. The reminder emails showing next steps in the process are invaluable. Her knowledge of the area and of my requirements are so in sync that I have purchased properties sight unseen via video tours and have never felt disappointed on move-in day. Over the years, our relationship has developed into a solid friendship.

ReviewAs a homeowner, you naturally think that your house is worth several million dollars. We did, but after discounting all the happy memories that our home has provided us during the last 24 years - watching the kids grow, having friends over, enjoying the outside trees as the season changes, and watching the sunset (I've told friends that was part of our mortgage) - we've come to a more realistic approach. There was only one "realtor" for us and that is Carmen Fontecilla of Compass Group. We're so glad that we listened to her advice and we have no regrets at all. Carmen has her pulse on the market - especially the Hampshire Greens market. Hampshire Greens is Carmen's "playground". We firmly believe that we priced it right thereby getting several offers in 4 days and subsequently settling with a price higher than we asked for. We can't believe how fast things happened but then again Carmen worked her "magic" and here we are furiously packing and preparing to move to sunshine state! We can attest that Carmen truly had our best interest at heart. She was serving as part "therapist" when things got so stressful and we had a million questions. Of course, she calmed us down and offered recommendations on how to deal with the dilemma at hand. She was even coordinating timing with our realtor for the new house to ensure that everything fit perfectly. Thank you, Carmen, for an awesome job!! Angie and Virgil

ReviewCarmen is an exceptional agent, with a passion for her craft that is exuded through her knowledge, professionalism, responsiveness and overall commitment to providing her clients with exceptional service! I had an amazing experience with Carmen, from beginning to end, and I know she will be my realtor for all future transactions! Carmen made a great first impression, and taught me the importance of making a great first impression to potential buyers, which made it easy to get interest in my property and help get it sold quickly. An agent like Carmen is rare in this industry, and I am so happy to have found her and to have worked with her. She truly is a cut above the rest, and has a reputation that is well deserved and backed up by her performance in every regard. I am truly grateful to her and her team!

ReviewCarmen was so easy to work with and knowledgeable about the whole process! I was a first time homebuyer, so I appreciated how she explained the steps and guided me through everything. Her experience really shows and she actually listens to you and remembers what you say and want. She wants to you to find a home you love and doesn't pressure you if you don't feel comfortable. I was able to get my second offer accepted during this crazy market. She is amazing!

ReviewCarmen and her entire team were absolutely incredible to work with during our entire home-buying process. We had to do most of our communication from a different state and were worried about trying to buy a home when we were not local. However, Carmen spent hours going through detailed information about the different areas and the market history so that we had the most up to date information to base our decision off of. She made the process seamless and we wouldnt have been able to buy our beautiful new home without all of her expert assistance. We will definitely be using her to help us sell our home in the future, and we cant recommend her and her team enough!

ReviewI first met Carmen Fontecilla in early 2009. Since that time, she has helped me with purchasing 2 homes (a single family home, then a townhouse), and the sale of 2 single family homes. Believe me when I say this - this woman knows her stuff!! She and her team did an outstanding job staging the 2 homes I put on the market. She explained the market and why I should price the homes as she suggested. I trusted her and I received great offers and purchases on both houses. With the homes she helped me to purchase - I told her what I was looking for and she tailored her search to places that were perfect for me, and even got me in to see a few properties before the open house. After I purchased my townhouse at the end of 2022, she and her team assisted me with meeting all deadlines, and introduced me to other professionals who were instrumental in helping me with the transition. It was all very smooth and easy. I highly recommend her and her team - they are PHENOMENAL!!!

ReviewMy partner and I were lucky enough to work with Carmen and her team as first-time home buyers. It goes without saying that we would not have been as successful in this turbulent market without them, but it may not be overstating it to say that we may also not have survived this process!Out of all of the realtors we researched and interviewed, Carmen simply blew us away with her expertise, approach and attitude. She asked incisive and pointed questions to figure out what we were looking for, showed infinite patience with our questions, and developed a comprehensive plan to pursue both "starter homes" and "forever homes" in varying parts of the area. She set up an "orientation tour" and showed us several homes that we were interested in across the entire county (I think seven in one afternoon, in addition to two open houses we went to alone). When a new home of interest came on the market later in the week, Carmen made sure we could see it right away (even though she herself was out of town due to a family situation), scheduled an immediate but comprehensive pre-inspection before the offer deadline, helped us understand the disclosures and other considerations as to whether we should submit an offer. Once we decided to move on the house, she helped us develop an attractive offer. She stayed up late with us past 10 PM as the sellers considered multiple offers and eventually selected ours!Once our offer was selected, Carmen's experience shined through, working with us and our lender to ensure that we were ready for a very quick close in less than a month. She and her team helped us understand all of the documentation and made us comfortable with that turnaround. When we found that the (new) refrigerator wasn't working at walkthrough, Carmen worked with her realtor counterpart to ensure that a solution was reached and the refrigerator was repaired/replaced. When we were unavailable, Carmen showed up to our house and monitored the delivery and installation, keeping us in the loop the entire time. Once we scheduled the movers and moved in, she continues to check on us and offering tips and good cheer.We could not be happier with our selection of Carmen and her team, and with our new home. While we primarily worked with Carmen directly as her client, special appreciation goes to Michelle and Laura for stepping in and showing us homes when Carmen had to leave town at the last minute, and to Heather and Isabel for being responsive and patient with all of the process and documentation. While we intend to stay in this house for a very long time, if we ever have any realtor needs, Carmen will be our first call. She should be yours, too!

ReviewI cannot say enough about how amazing Carmen and her team are. Ive had the pleasure to work with them for about 2 months while buying our first home. This was not an easy market and using a VA loan made everything even more difficult. Carmen was incredibly knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the current market, as well as the entire VA loan process. Even when sellers werent interested in taking our offers with the VA loan, Carmen came up with different ways to make us stand out. Every challenge just made her stronger! She never gave up on us and our dream to buy our first home. She spent so many hours with us at open houses and showings, even on zoom calls to share different ideas. After our first meeting, she already knew what we liked and disliked about properties. It was so nice to be understood and comforted during this difficult process. Even when we felt like it wasnt going to happen, Carmen kept the faith and made it work. I am so incredibly thankful to her and her team. We would not be in our beautiful home without them. Special thanks to Heather, Isabel, and Laurette for always being there with any questions we had. If youre looking to buy in the DMV area, please contact Carmens group. You will make a friend for life!

ReviewWe are so grateful to Carmen and her team for helping us with the purchase of our first house. Buying during a seller's market can be so discouraging, but Carmen's team was positive, assertive, and strategic to help us land our dream home. Carmen treated us like family (she literally held my baby multiple times so I could focus on the house tours). Carmen is so talented, she has incredible instincts, and she clearly loves what she does, which makes your home-buying experience as enjoyable as possible!

ReviewIt is with great pleasure that I submit this review about my exemplary experience with Carmen and her team. I bought and very recently sold a condo with Carmen and I can honestly say she is the best realtor that I have ever worked with (I have bought and sold two home previously). When I first met Carmen to find a condo in Silver Spring she helped me to think about and prioritize what I was looking for in a new home. I have never had a realtor take this kind of approach and it was very eye-opening for me. I was able to quickly discover my top, aEUR~must have priorities for a home. Likewise she has made selling the condo equally pleasant and efficient, keeping me informed of developments as we went along. I am also impressed with her comprehensive understanding of the market (she was right about everything) and I am so happy that I took her advice on staging, for example. Especially since I have been remote this whole time and Carmen and her team were able to beautifully stage the condo and remove everything in preparation for the new owner, without me needing to come back. TWorking with Carmens team, Heather Ness, through email, the process was also a great experience. It was efficient especially once we were under contract things moved quickly. Thanks again to Carmen and Heather for helping me sell my condo!

ReviewCarmen is the most amazing realtor. She has helped us sell two homes and buy one. She is thoughtful, deliberate, kind, compassionate, and a master strategist. She knows the local market - buyer and seller perspectives - and leverages a vibrant network with full service options to serve her clients. Carmen is also incredibly intuitive and warm and will constantly assess and anticipate her clients needs and clearly communicate at all times. We are moving out of the area and I wish we could take her with us!

ReviewCarmen Fontecilla and her team are amazing, knowledgeable professionals and we highly recommend them! Carmen has shepherded us through three transactions in Bethesda and Rockville, and each time she has surpassed our expectations. Most recently, Carmen sold our house which went over asking and with no contingencies, plus free rentback while we coordinated our move. What more could a seller ask for? Not only is she savvy and experienced, she gets phenomenal results and she exudes warmth and care. She really listens and works with her clients as a team effort. She guided us through every step from preparation and staging of the house to after closing.Our first transaction with Carmen was with a Rockville condo in a building where many units were for sale and we despaired that ours could compete. She sold our unit while all the others sat on the market! We knew she was a treasure and we were thrilled to work with her again. We are forever grateful for Carmen's dedication and hard work and we whole-heartedlyrecommend Carmen Fontecilla and her team!

ReviewCarmen is a master in her craft and truly cares about her clients. After we had purchased our home through her, she took the time to guide us with recommendations for improvements when we asked for her assistance. Then through the inception of sell versus rent out our home, she provided her honest perspective. When we decided to sell, she had a strong plan and we were pleasantly surprised when we received many offers well beyond asking price. She and her team expertly staged the home to ensure it was in top shape for showings. She knew when to put it on the market, the duration and quickly walked us through the offers. When we are back in the market, we will certainly look to Carmen to guide us again!

ReviewWe could not recommend Carmen Fontecilla more highly as a realtor! As first time homebuyers who had negative experiences with prior rental agents, we were apprehensive about the process, and she took the time to patiently explain things to us and guide us through our months long search. She was also incredibly responsive and flexible, there to talk with us any hour of the day, on a moment's notice, and regularly squeezed us in for tours at the last minute in this hectic market. Additionally, Carmen really listened and got to know our (pretty particular) preferences, and we felt supported - but never judged or rushed - as we looked for homes. Anxieties and uncertainties frequently arose, but Carmen was always a source of reassurance and clarity. She was also a great guide during the inspection and offer process. She brought to bear lots of very helpful knowledge of design and structural engineering issues, based off her civil engineering background, which is a very unique value add. And to top it all off, she was just a delight to work. We'll frankly miss our weekend searches with her, as she became more than a realtor but a trusted advisor and friend. It's hard to imagine having to go through this process without her. Thanks so much, Carmen and team!

ReviewI'd rather mark 7 star! Carmen is the most professional agent I have ever met. She and her team work 26 hours a day. Respond quick and everything in detail. She and her assistant even do staging by themselves, quick and professional, make it like 5 start hotel. She also know how to remodel house. Her suggestion is highly evaluated by my contractor. Carmen has sharp eyes on market. She know exactly how and when to do what. She is also a warm heart people. Always help me, make me feel work with a friend but not agent. My house is low value, I don't think she will make a lot of money. But she work as serious as those million dollar house. All in all, Carmen is not a good, but the BEST !

ReviewMy wife and I would like to thank you, Carmen, and the rest of the Compass Team for everything related to us finding our perfect home. We knew we were looking for a needle in a haystack in Washington, DC. With our requirements, budget, and ideal neighborhoods, I personally questioned our sanity at several points along the way. But we pressed on, learning invaluable information along the way, and with Carmens tireless optimism and energy, we remained confident we would indeed find our perfect first home at some point. When the stars finally aligned and we made an offer (our first), Carmen and the team were relentless, trying to get us any advantage possible, while also protecting our interests. This period will always stand out to us. Carmens aggressiveness down the stretch, along with the teams quick work, were ultimately the deciding factor in this process. As we write this from the living room of our new homeaEUR"a home with everything we ever dreamed of and then someaEUR"we both want to let you know how grateful we are for your teams efforts throughout. Its been a month since our move, but after the holidays and travel to see family, it remains surreal that we found such a wonderful home. Thank you for being such an important part in this truly beautiful period in our life.

ReviewCarmen is an excellent and knowledgeable agent. After our first meeting a year in advance of listing our house, we developed immediate confidence in her advice and skill. She laid out several key recommendations to prepare the home for sale, patiently supporting our timeline. Carmen connected us with reliable contractors and other individuals to facilitate the final preparation for the market. As the time for listing approached, she guided us through important decisions and used up to date information to set the asking price. The staging and photos of the home attracted significant attention and we received multiple offers well above asking price. Carmen's 22 years experience proved valuable when choosing the strongest offer. We really appreciate all that she did for us. It was such a pleasure to work with Carmen and her team!

ReviewI am not a particularly trusting person. And I am a small business owner so I have a lot of skills in a lot of areas that have made me successful. But in spite of how frequently savvy I am, I also know when to let someone take the driver's seat because they know their business better than I ever could. That's what I did with Carmen and her team - and I couldn't be more relieved that I did. Working with Carmen was a joy. And in spite of the unexpected ups and downs of what I had just assumed at the outset would be an easy sale (the market is really the wild west out there), she was a rock. I came to trust her implicitly. Carmen never pushed me to make a decision, but rather made suggestions that were logical and in my best interest -- even when they weren't the easiest decisions to make. She knows her market and she knows how to respond to it. She knows how to negotiate a deal without drama. Her team, especially Heather Ness, was always on hand whenever I had a question or concern. I felt totally surrounded by competent people doing their best work possible. There's no better experience that one can have than that. Thanks Carmen!

Her knowledge on how to market your property is of great benefit to you, the seller, and of also great appeal to the buyer. Dan and I are so happy with the results from the sell of our home. Within two days, there were 20 offers which resulted in a sale of $165,000 over the asking price. We highly recommend Carmen for a successful sell or purchase of your property. FYI, Carmen is also fluent in both English and Spanish.

ReviewCarmen came highly recommended by friends who had worked with her twice before. I had started working with Carmen pre-pandemic, but had to delay a few months. Once I listed, she and Jasmin had multiple offers on the table and my unit under contract in 4 days. After the buyer pulled out just before closing due to financing, she went to work and had one of the original parties that had been interested under contract in less than 48 hours and even provided me some extra time in my unit. Buying my new home took a few months because of market competitiveness, but Carmen and Jasmin made sure I was getting the best home for me. I never felt pressured to go beyond what I was comfortable. And when I did win an offer, Carmen was a fierce advocate of making sure that I got the best deal and the repairs needed. When I worried, she assured me she knew what she was doing. I put my trust in Carmen and that was a decision I never regretted. I highly recommend Carmen and Jasmin.

ReviewCarmen helped us to find the perfect house during a difficult and crazy housing market! When we started our search during the coronavirus pandemic, we were particularly nervous about going inside houses. Carmen did everything she could to make us feel more comfortable; she even offered to look at houses ahead of us by herself and would only bring us if a house was worth us going inside. Even though this doubled the amount of work for Carmen, as she would have to see a house twice if we wanted to see it, she didn't even hesitate if it would make us feel more comfortable. As we got more comfortable going into houses, we still refused to go into houses with other people inside at the same time, so she often asked other people to leave if they were at a house during our appointment time.During our house search process, Carmen stayed with us every step of the way despite the fact that it took us 10 months to find our home! She never gave up on us and kept encouraging us, even sometimes when we were ready to give up. She gave us good advice and was patient with us even when we didn't always listen to her. Carmen was always available, night or day, including on weekends. She always showed up to every house we wanted to look at, even when we gave little notice and sometimes at the last minute! She always made us feel like we were her only clients and she always had time for us, no matter what.We are so happy that Carmen helped us find the perfect house!

ReviewWe could not be happier to have worked with Carmen to sell then buy our new home. We first met several years before listing our condo and appreciated her expertise in the local market and her patience as we waited until the right time for us to sell. When we decided to list our property with Carmen, we were impressed with her attention to detail as we prepped our property for listing. She gave us ideas for repairs and touch-ups, even down to the color and finish of the paint. Carmen recommended several reasonably priced contractors who offered creative solutions for our repair needs. Our listing generated multiple offers and the sale closed, above asking, within a month. She was with us all the way through closing, where she found some incorrect fees and brought down our closing costs.Carmen and her team really shined when we went to buy a house in a very challenging market for buyers. We appreciated her support and unwavering confidence after our first few offers were unsuccessful. Finally, we had an offer accepted on a home. Carmen worked quickly with the sellers agent to schedule a showing, make an offer, and inspect the home. After the inspection, she negotiated a sellers credit of thousands of dollars to our closing costsaEUR"a tremendous accomplishment in this sellers market. We were lucky to have Carmen help us through the process of selling and buying a home and could not recommend her more highly.

ReviewIn a wordaEUR"OUTSTANDING. People often say that its difficult to put things into words, but not in this case. It is simple when the words flow easily. Carmen and her team at Compass Realtors are AMAZING, EFFICIENT, HONEST, and RELIABLE. We cannot express how thrilled we are to be represented by an agent that is so fantastic and intelligent that we can only imagine other agents pale in comparison. Carmen has been our agent for the last 11 years. She assisted us with the purchase of our current home and advised us to rent our condo when the market was not favorable to sell. She advised us to rent even though the commission for her would be less than if we sold. An agent that puts the needs of her clients ahead of her own personal gain is the sign of someone who truly takes her fiduciary duty to the highest level of honor in her profession. We had multiple offers on the condo and Carmen was up late at night securing the best possible outcome for us. We finally sold the condo and Carmen was able to negotiate for us $6k over asking price!! Carmen is now in the process of assisting us with the sale of the home she listed for us over 11 years ago and will then, in turn, assist us in buying our new hopefully aEURoeforeveraEUR? home. During this current process, she has been available night and day and even on weekends to assist with simple matters such as selecting kitchen tiles and carpets. Although we know we are not her only clients, she makes us feel like we are the only ones that matter. We imagine she makes all her clients feel this way. She is also honest-- a refreshing quality when dealing with one of your most prized possessionsaEUR" your family home. We cannot say enough great things about Carmen. Her assistants Heather and Jasmine have also been terrific and a true pleasure to work with from facilitating paper work transactions to advice on staging. I would wholeheartedly recommend Carmen and her team to anyone looking to enter the real estate market. She is a gem and Compass should be privileged to have her represent them.

ReviewI recently sold my condo in MD and purchased a condo in another state. Carmen was the miracle worker who successfully got me through this most stressful experience. From our first meeting Carmen came up with a detailed plan that covered every base through the entire process. Her professionalism and kind caring spirit exceeded all of my expectations for selling and purchasing.

ReviewI had THE most efficient experience selling my condo. I live out of state and Carmen and hear team handled everything end-to-end with the home sale process. From listing, to staging, to listing and selling it was seamless. I received full asking price the first day the property was listed. I'd highly recommend Carmen and her team for your home buying and selling needs.

ReviewCarmen was great! I was a first time homebuyer and she really held my hand throughout the entire process. Carmen has a lot of experience and is very knowledgeable about the local market. It took me over a year to find a place I liked but Carmen was very patient and never pressured me. I would highly recommend Carmen and her team for first time homebuyers in the DC area!

ReviewThis agent represented our interest extremely well. She has significant market knowledge, professional connections, and technical expertise. She was definitely not in a rush for us to commit to a property. Carmen was committed to our satisfaction and cared, truly cared, for us as clients.We highly recommend her.
