    Working with Eric and the Debbie Dogrul Associates team was the best experience we could have asked for. My wife and I were first time homebuyers and just closed on our home today in Alexandria, VA. From start to finish, Eric explained how the homebuying process worked and what to expect. Anything that we had questions about were answered quickly by Eric. He was always so flexible and always willing to work with our schedule. We will definitely be working with Eric and the DDA team once we are ready to move into a bigger home!

    Eric is THE man. His expertise, connections, advice, and personality are invaluable. The real-estate market is pretty wild right now, but Eric helped us navigate the journey with ease. He was extremely flexible, heard and understood our needs, while also providing the transparent advice needed for us to make good decisions. We now have a beautiful condo in a great location that we can transform into our perfect home. A large part of that is due to Eric. Thanks again man!

    Exemplary performance from a stand out professional! I was stationed in Germany looking for homes in Alexandria, Virginia. I specifically wanted to do a VA assumption loan, which allows the buyer to inherit the sellers interest rate; some being as low as 3%. This can be quite lucrative especially now considering the average interest rate is 7%. However, these assumption loans are quite rare. Last year, only 3,000 of the approximately 8 million home loans were assumptions meaning I had a .03% chance of getting one. Regardless of the odds, Eric proved his dedication and tenacity everyday. I sent him to scout potential homes from Stafford to DC. He showed me fantastic properties in Mantua and Falls Church. For 6 months, I felt like I was treated as his only client. It was in his best interest to try to sell me on some of these other homes so he could collect his commission quickly. But, he could tell I was not in love with what I was looking at. The fact is, there are minimal homes that have assumption loans and I was slowly giving up. I was prepared to expand my search not using the assumption loan as a discriminating factor. Eric, on the other hand, was undeterred. He told me to keep the faith, and approximately 3 hours later from that fateful conversation he found my dream home. His relentless research and networking led us to a home that was to be listed within 72 hours. It was located in Del Ray, a much sought after neighborhood in Alexandria within walking distance to Old Town. Even better, the assumption loan was 2.25%! Eric's dogged pursuit allowed us to save approximately $900,000 in interest over the course of the loan. When my wife and I met 10 years ago, we always dreamed of living in Del Ray but never thought we could afford to. But, Eric made that happen. He didn't just help us find our new home, he simply made our dreams come true - as corny as that sounds. The day we closed, Eric and I went back to the house and had a celebratory drink. I remember smiling ear to ear grateful to be standing in my family's forever home and saying a toast to a stellar real estate agent and even better friend.

    The only thing I regret about posting this review is that it took me so long to do it. Eric Carrington is an experienced real estate agent with the perfect mix of knowledge, intelligence, and skills needed to navigate a unique housing market. We closed on our home back in FebruaryaEUR"it was the first house we looked at (and loved), and we beat out all other offers on the first try. To know what the current market is like, that was a HUGE win for us. We buckled up, expecting a crazy roller coaster ride, and got our dream home in a dream neighborhood. Eric and his team are the reason for that. Hes a masterful negotiator, a reliable communicator, and an overall nice personaEUR"very easy to work with. I highly recommend him for your real estate needs. Weve been in our home for roughly six months now, and we still love it. It feels like home, and our kids have already made new friends and are ready to start at their new school. Thank you so much, Eric!

    We are first time home buyers and Eric was fantastic. We felt very confident in our decisions and he had answers to all of our many many questions. Any fears we had about buying a home completely vanished when working with Eric. He's professional, responsive, but most importantly he was "real" with us and let us know of any red flags or potential concerns right away.
