ZillowVERIFIEDWe loved Dare, and would highly recommend her to anyone selling a home. She helped us with our home sale on Capitol Hill, from beginning to end. She managed the renovation of our home, including getting multiple bids from contractors, many of whom she had previously worked for before and could vouch for. She suggested a home inspector we liked a lot. We ended up being extremely satisfied with the work that was done.We loved her attitude and approach. She was confident, and helped us move forward, without pressuring us unnecessarily. She was nonjudgmental. She gave us space when we needed. We felt like she was letting us make decisions, but also was willing to sit in the driver's seat as much as we needed. She spent tons and tons of her time -- much more than we would have expected from her. She told us beforehand that she enjoyed managing renovation projects, and it was clear that she did. She came by the property frequently during the renovations, to check on how things were going.She took the lead in marketing the home, and in negotiating the sale for us. The sale price ended up exceeding our expectations.We'd work with her again without hesitation.

ZillowVERIFIEDDare represented me and my partner as the Seller. We were impressed by how quickly she set everything in motion once we decided to list the property for sale, and she and her team made smooth sailing of the journey to closing. We were uncertain about the impact of the pandemic on the market value of our downtown condo, but Dare was spot on regarding the days on the market and the top sales price we could expect. She not only had excellent instincts, but she also backed up her recommendations with research. Our well-placed confidence in Dare was the key in overcoming our doubts about certain aspects of the Buyers offer. She anticipated our questions and gave us frank advice. We never doubted she was a true professionalaEUR"she helped us assess the market value of our home almost 2 years ago when we first contemplated selling our property, even though we werent ready to list at that time, and when we more recently became ready to list the property, she suggested we delay by a few months until market conditions improved. This demonstrated to us that Dare had our best interests at heart and wasnt simply out to make a quick commission. Dares team echoed her top-notch serviceaEUR"they were thorough, professional, responsive, and communicative. We highly recommend Dare without any reservations!

ZillowVERIFIEDIf you want an expert with wonderful relationships throughout the real estate network, Dare is your gal! Especially in this unprecedentedly competitive real estate market, Dare patiently and steadfastly worked with us to find our home and her stellar reputation and relationships in the DC real estate community no doubt gave us a leg up in the offer process. She's very responsive to messages, quick to not only get access to the houses, but by the time you show up to look around she's already gotten the scoop on the house and the buying/selling circumstances which allowed us to have a complete picture as we were contemplating if it was the right spot for us.However, her greatest asset is her reputation throughout the real estate community. Realtors love working with Dare, which gives her buyers a leg-up when entering an offer process. We have heard horror stories about others' home buying experiences, but thanks to Dare and her wonderful experience and relationships, we had a dream home buying experience that allowed us to stay in our desired location AND our desired budget. Thank you Dare and the entire Compass team!!

ZillowVERIFIEDDare has been my agent as both a seller and a buyer. In both roles, Dare has been exceptional. She (and her whole team at Compass) are really responsive and expertly manage both the process and the communication throughout the ups and downs of buying or selling a house. I have and would recommend her to anyone.

ZillowVERIFIEDI could not have asked for a better agent than Dare. On top of being a first time homebuyer, I was also buying a home in Washington from a different state and during a pandemic. Dare connected me with my lender, did an excellent job at selecting properties to show me on my house hunting trip, put together a fair and competitive offer, and helped to guide me through the closing process when we hit a snag due to a title issue. She was patient and flexible throughout the process, and I would not hesitate to use her again or recommend her to a friend looking to buy or sell property.

ZillowVERIFIEDI bought and later sold my home in NE DC with Dare and she is the best. Dare worked with me for as long as it took until I found the perfect house when I was buying and sold my house quickly and easily when the time came to sell. Her contacts and relationships with websites and blogs help gain attention and potential buyers. She went out of her way to help with odds and ends, made the house look wonderful with a few touches and was easy to reach throughout for questions and concerns.

ZillowVERIFIEDDare is the absolute best!! I still can't believe I got randomly matched with her on here. Even though I was looking in a lower price range and I'm young, she never acted like I was less important than clients buying at a higher price. She was responsive, showed me homes all over DC, and referred me to a lender who gave me an excellent rate. I just closed on a condo in DC as a 22-year-old with no cosign with her and the lender's help.

ZillowVERIFIEDWorking with Dare on the purchase of our first home was an absolutely wonderful experience. She took the time to listen to what my wife and I were looking for, and put a lot of time and energy into finding us the exact right home in the Capitol Hill area. She's a pleasure to work with, was incredibly patient in answering all of our questions, and is incredibly knowledgeable about the local real estate market. We had been passively looking at the market for several years, but after first meeting Dare, we had closed on the home of our dreams within about four months. We strongly recommend Dare to everyone we know!

ZillowVERIFIEDThis sale was a really big deal for us and we wanted to make sure we made the best choice in an agent. My wife and I have both bought and sold several homes and have dealt with good and not so good agents. We interviewed several agents and Dare was the only one with a truly creative marketing approach and pricing strategy. Immediately upon hiring Dare we had strong buyer interest. Unfortunately, the sale was not as easy as we expected with two contracts falling apart at the last minute. But Dare remained positive and diligent and we ultimately sold at a good price and within our time frame. "Full Service" is an understatement as Dare provided referrals for movers, stagers, liquidators, maintenance crews- whatever we needed to get the home sold and have a smooth move. She provided sage advice at every turn and is a delight to work with. Highly recommended.

ZillowVERIFIEDDare helped us find the perfect home and more importantly she expertly guided us through the financing and negotiation process to make sure we could complete the transaction. This was the second home we bought with Dare and wed enthusiastically recommend her as an expert on the area, especially Capitol Hill, and a great partner to have in the housing search. She is always responsive, flexible, knowledgeable -- and above all friendly!

ZillowVERIFIEDAs a first-time home buyer, there was much that we didn't know. Dare was patient and clear in explaining the process and helping us not only find a great house, but put together a competitive offer. Her knowledge of the local community gave us an advantage too. Dare is not at all pushy and throughout the process, she listened to us and let us lead the way...though we didn't know exactly where we were going!

ZillowVERIFIEDDare was fantastic to work with in purchasing our first home. She has inside knowledge of the Capitol Hill market and was able to connect us with an off-market property that we would never have known about without her insight.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy wife and I would highly recommend Dare! We have worked with her twice - buying our place and then selling it a couple of years later when we were moving out of the area. Both experiences were fantastic. Mostly recently we sold our condo. She walked us through all of the steps, recommended a local contractor to help us with painting and repairs, and made the entire process easy on us.The plan she put in place for us to sell our condo worked perfectly and we sold it at a great price and quickly. We would highly recommend Dare!

Review for Member: Dare Johnson Wenzler
ZillowVERIFIEDDare is a proven agent who's very knowledgeable of the Capitol Hill market. This was one of the main reasons we chose her to represent us not only to sell our former house on Hill East but to also assist us in the purchase of our new house just a few blocks away. Selling one house in order to buy a new one meant that timing was critical for us. Dare made sure our best interests were always in mind throughout this whole process. On the sell side, Dare works with a great team who saw that our house was beautifully staged for the open house and advertised heavily using multiple types of media. When offers came in, she was pivotal in helping us navigate the process. She was determined to get us what our house was worth, and her negotiation skills were impressive. Overall, we are very happy that we chose Dare as our agent. She was very responsive to our needs, honest and to-the-point about any questions/concerns we had, and never pressured us at any point in the process. Her knowledge of the Hill is something we can attest to. We highly recommend her for buying and/or selling on the Hill!

ZillowVERIFIEDDare, quite simply, was amazing. Throughout the entire process she was there - giving expert advice and guiding us along the way. Without question Dare went above and beyond. After the final walk-through, when the buyer noticed some lightbulbs were burnt out and a toilet handle needed repair - Dare went to the hardware store herself and fixed it all. Amazing!I would highly recommend Dare.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe hired Dare after she was recommended by a family friend and could not have been happier. We live on Capitol Hill and wanted to stay in this area for our new house. Dare is extremely knowledgable about Capitol Hill. She helped us navigate bidding on multiple properties that made us feel comfortable with where we were going. She helped us structure our bids as well that made us appealing to sellers and walked us through the whole process (even celebrated with us after closing). We also used Dare to sell our old place and she was great. We got a bid over what we thought possible and she helped us with all of the minutiae involved in that process. We couldn't recommend her or her team more highly. She was great.

ZillowVERIFIEDWhen my family and I moved out of state, Dare was represented us expertly in the sale of our Capitol Hill home. Dare executed a brilliant marketing plan - mobilizing skilled contractors for reasonable rates to prepare and stage our home for sale. Dare's strong network of fellow agents helped spread the word about our home. She attracted the buyers who valued our home the most (hundreds of thousands of dollars more than the list price).

ZillowVERIFIEDDare was an absolutely fantastic realtor. She found us a beautiful home that was exactly what we were looking for before the house went on the market. Since we got the property pre-market we locked in a great price.

Review for Member: Dare Johnson Wenzler
ZillowVERIFIEDWhen I decided to sell my 2-unit, Capitol Hill townhouse, I scoured the Internet to find an agent who I felt would do a good job. I looked at each agent's individual web site, ratings, list of properties sold, experience, etc., and eventually narrowed it down to two. Then, based on a telephone interview, I chose Dare. I could not be happier with that choice.I was immediately impressed with Dare's comprehensive marketing plan. It was a thorough, well thought out approach with detailed, specific steps to help me get the best price for my property. Dare has some unique attributes in that regard, such as her own syndicated blog, favored positioning on Zillow, Trulia, etc., and has clearly developed an entire marketing program--she doesn't just list the property and put it into the MLS. She employs an effective strategy designed to get the property sold. As an out of town owner, I was also impressed with her willingness to take charge of the many small fix-up projects which would be necessary to make the property show well. She had contacts with excellent contractors, who did the work at very reasonable prices, and with my approval arranged for everything, monitored the progress, and sent pictures when the work was finished. Her judgement with respect to what needed doing and what was not essential was outstanding. She even helped with paint color selections, based on her knowledge of what purchasers like.Although I used to be a real estate agent myself, I was unprepared for the myriad of rules involved when selling property in DC, and was thankful for Dare's expertise in that regard. Moreover, when tenants are involved, there is a lot of "hand-holding" involved if things are to go smoothly. Dare was absolutely outstanding in handling two sets of tenants, and managed to keep them happy during the preparations for selling. That is essential, because a troublesome tenant can cause unbelievable problems and huge delays in selling a property.Perhaps the most valuable service which Dare provided was proper pricing for the property. She utilized a team of experienced agents to help arrive at a price which would attract interest and hopefully competition, without being too low. The current DC market is very unusual based on my experience, and the "old" technique of starting out high and lowering the price often results in either no sale, or getting lower offers than if the property was priced properly to begin with. That very thing happened to some friends of mine, so I knew first hand how essential proper pricing was. Dare's technique was spot on, and we ended up getting multiple offers which competed against each other, resulting in a final sale price substantially over my asking price. It was so high, in fact, that we accepted a slightly lower offer than the highest one, because it had no appraisal contingency and we were afraid the property would not appraise.Finally, the service after the contract acceptance was also exemplary. Dare has a very competent team which organizes all of the paperwork (of which there is a lot), and coordinates everything through closing. In summary, every aspect of this transaction went smoothly and professionally. I would unequivocally recommend Dare to handle the sale of your property, which is why I took the time to write this fairly lengthy review. I am entirely confident you will be pleased with her services, and your property will get sold at the best possible price with the least hassle.

ZillowVERIFIEDOld & historic Capitol Hill homes come with a unique set of challenges that can make a big real estate transaction tricky. Dare doesn't just know what to look for in these charming, old homes, but she also has a long list of helpful contacts that can help make a sale a success. She knows all of the home inspectors, lenders, and home improvement handymen who understand the unique nature of the Capitol Hill neighborhood. Dare's a joy to work with, and the team of other professionals she works with makes an otherwise stressful process very easy. Dare helped us sell our home above asking price, and she's helped several of our friends find great new homes on the Hill!

ZillowVERIFIEDDare is awesome! She knows Capitol Hill so well, and we couldn't have bought the house we did without her. She took our needs into consideration, showing us a variety of houses in different areas, helping us see the potentials and pitfalls of each property. She was straightforward and honest, helping us understand different aspects of the process that we knew nothing about. She shared her knowledge of and possible concerns about places we looked at as if she was buying it herself, while still being supportive of whatever decision we wanted to make. When we put our first offer in, she explained the process to us and helped us negotiate an offer we felt comfortable with that she knew would be very compelling and competitive, and all within our budget. When we were outbid over our budget, she encouraged us not to go higher, and that there would be something better. It didn't take long for her to find it, and she found it before it even went on the market! Because of her insight into the market, understanding of what we wanted, and knowledge of the area, Dare was able to find us a home that we love in an enjoyable area that continues to grow better and better each day. And we got it without having to get into a bidding war. (In fact, the day we closed, another house practically identical to ours went on the market and got three offers for about $20k more than what we paid for ours.)We love Dare, and have already recommended her to friends, who are about to close on a new condo with Dare's help! We'd definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a place on the Hill and beyond!

ZillowVERIFIEDDare was amazing. We could not recommend her more highly. We were new to the city when buying, so it was incredibly helpful to have a realtor who knew the ins and outs of the area as well as Dare did. She was patient with us as we basically figured out what we were looking for while we were looking. We also had MAJOR issues with the seller, and because we are first-time home buyers it was absolutely essential that we had an experienced person behind us. Dare really went to bat for us and we will absolutely use her the next time we are in the market for a home. We've already recommended her to family.

ZillowVERIFIEDMs. Johnson (She'll wring my neck for calling her Ms. Johnson) listed my place in Capitol Hill spring of 2014 and I can't speak highly enough about her expertise and familiarity with the area. When I first met with her to discuss my property, she was prepared with a detailed analysis of housing trends which was nicely blended with her experience and market outlook for Capitol Hill. Once I agreed to proceed, she took over and did the rest! She arranged everything including staging, pricing confirmation, open houses (including two soft showings), negotiations, inspections, etc. Selling and purchasing real estate tends to be a very stressful process. Dare eliminated a great deal of stress through her knowledge, preparation, and communication. The result of her techniques yielded multiple offers above asking price. Most importantly, everything went as planned!We've retained Dare as our real estate agent twice-- both as buyer and listing agent-- and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a competent and caring agent.

ZillowVERIFIEDDare was absolutely incredible! Dare made purchasing our first home a great experience - she helped us through every step of the process and was an incredible advocate on our behalf during the offer process. We would not have been able to get such a great house if it wasn't for Dare. She is really straight-forward, tells you exactly what you need to hear rather than what you want to, and does not try to sugar coat anything. We really liked a house early on in the process, but Dare told us that we could do a lot better for our money. So we listened to her, and she was right - we got our dream home at an even lower price. She also found out about the home before it was on the market, and she got us in to see it twice before the open house. That way we were able to start getting everything together for the offer right away. Dare has lived in the Capitol Hill neighborhood for years, so no one knows the area better than her. She also has a business management background, which paid huge dividends in the negotiation process. Her knowledge of the area also means that she knows a number of contractors, handymen, plumbers, and inspectors, and she will tell you exactly who to get for the work you need and the budget you have. Plus, she really sticks to her word. There was a leak in the furnace that she said she would take care of. We didn't realize that she paid a plumber herself to fix it! We highly, highly recommend Dare!

ZillowVERIFIEDDare and Topher were fantastic to work with. They were on top of the sale from the first time we talked about the 'idea' of putting our house on the market. They went above and beyond the call of duty, stopping by the house to let in a repair guy if I was running late, to getting out there with tools to fix something before the inspector showed up. What I appreciated most was that while they worked hard for the sale, they were low-key in dealing with us. Not pushy or over the top, just straightforward and really easy to get along with. Then the house sold for a good deal over asking and we got our offers (multiple bids and escalation clauses!) after 4 days. They really know the Hill!

ZillowVERIFIEDDare worked with us on the purchase of our home on Capitol Hill this past summer. She was extremely knowledgeable about the area, and the realtors and developers working in the neighborhood. When our closing date got pushed back because of issues on the builders' end, she aggressively pursued our best interests and got us into our house on time. Aside from her professional expertise, she is really nice and fun, too! We loved working with Dare and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking on the Hill or surrounding areas.

ZillowVERIFIEDDare was extremely accommodating and knows the Capitol Hill area like the back of her hand. Could not recommend a realtor who is easier to work with than Dare. She gave great advice and it's clear that her priority is finding the right home, not getting herself the highest commission possible (I have dealt with several realtors whose priorities run the other way).

Review for Member: Dare Johnson Wenzler
ZillowVERIFIEDDare was on the case weeks before I moved to Washington, sending listings and, more importantly, listening to what I was looking for and helping to focus the search. This was all the more important because I didn't know Washington at all and wanted to buy within a month of arriving. As a first-time buyer I wasn't sure whether I could even make a purchase happen, but she was able to clear up the confusion of diving in with guidance about both an unfamiliar process and a new city. Better yet, she negotiated a great deal. Because of her, we were able to make an offer in a couple weeks on what must have been the third or fourth place we saw on the search. I'd recommend her to any prospective homeowners, though especially to first time buyers and those who are new to the District.
