Excellent from start to finish. Had a great understanding of the market and area. Communication was top notch with thoroughness and transparency. He made the process smooth and simple. Highly recommend John and his team in any real estate dealings.
John aEURoeRumaEUR? was outstanding from start to finish. His knowledge and expertise is remarkable and we would not have been as successful throughout this process without him and his team. My only regret is NOT taking his advise on choosing a lender. Had I listened to Rum we could have saved ourselves some headaches and delays! Lessons learned. Next time around I will go with Rums advise 100% of the time.
John aEURoeRumaEUR? Rumcik and his team did a fantastic job facilitating our home buying experience in northern Virginia. Since we were located in a different state at the time of purchase, we relied heavily on Rums knowledge of the local area and he and his team were always extremely proactive and quick to set up virtual showings. Rum was able to help us navigate a difficult market with high rates and worked within our budget to find a home that checked all our boxes. Lastly, Rums access to a team of highly skilled contractors made those inevitable home remodels easy and less daunting. Overall, I would highly recommend Rum and his team and look forward to working with them again in the future!
I consider ourselves lucky that we connected with Rum. We were flirting with the idea of selling our home of 7 years and were clueless on the selling process. Rum was confident that wed be able to sell AND find our dream home. He filled that promised and much more! I never thought wed be able to get our dream home in the NoVA area but due to Rums expertise, we did! Rums energy and absolute relentlessness to make his clients happy is evident. To top it off, he does so much for the local community. A quick search would show you all you need to know about all hes done. He has a kind heart for people - look no further if youre trying to find a good, experienced realtor who is not about cutting corners.
My husband and I really got lucky getting connected with Rum! His enthusiasm and energy is infectious, and it was present at every interaction we had whether it was on the phone or in person. His willingness to go above and beyond to make sure we were exactly where we needed to be was unfailing. We had a VERY SMALL area that we were looking at (based on school zones) and we still managed to secure our absolute dream home. My husband and I fell in love with our new home immediately and Rum stopped at nothing to make sure we had all of our ducks in a row to be able to submit our offer before the open house was even over ^_^. Rum's knowledge of the real estate market and local area is superior. He fielded all types of questions, practical and hypothetical, with ease and we really felt secure in the fact that he had our best interest in mind at all times. 2023 rates are crazy, IYKYK and if you don't be glad, but Rum still managed to use his expertise to put us in a financially beneficial situation. I would recommend Rum to any of our friends and family without hesitation and we will be inviting him to our housewarming, haha.
5 stars all the way in all fronts! If I can give 10 stars I would. And I must say that John and his team hit it out the park for me. I've bought and solve properties for over 20 years with all the moving and relocating that I do. I have worked with at least half a dozen realtors over the years and by far John and his team are the best ?? ??. I wanted to sell all three properties that I had in exchange for my forever home. The market was very competitive and with 21 bidders I got my forever home with great advise from this team. No other realtor could have done that for me. I was super impressed right out the gate. Ryan and Holly are awesome too. Ryan handled the on site ...what I call ...tactical stuff...Holly dealt with customer service by making sure my needs were met. And John ran the operation with such expertise that allowed me to land the contract and close on a property I really wanted that met all of my family needs. On top of it all, they advised me every step of the way from many different angles on the sale of my 2 properties and renting out the third at the best price to bring me an extra income. I needed this team and needed this level of experience and expertise to execute all these negotiations with timing and precision. On top of that, he gifted me cookies, fancy champagne and a super nice knife. I am expecting another Rum knife though....wondering if I'll get another one to add to my knife collection...just saying.
John was absolutely the best. We connected with him through Zillow and had helpful conversations with him almost immediately. John fought for us to get us a good deal, answered all our questions and -- perhaps most importantly -- shielded us from the most stressful parts of the home buying process. My wife and I could not imagine buying our first home with anyone else and we will be recommending John to all of our friends who are looking to buy homes in the Northern Virginia/Alexandria area. He's a good man who happens to be a great realtor as well and we were so grateful to have Rum on our team.
I have bought two homes with John and sold two homes with him. Not only are John's instincts are uncanny, he was able to uncompromisingly leverage our position with poise. The ONLY reason I won't be using him for my next transaction is because I purchased out of state. Highly recommend over even your family members who are Realtors!
Rum is one of the few agents who knows what he's doing. He's extremely responsive and knows exactly what the other agents are thinking. He's not pushy and will go along with whatever crazy tactic you want to try but will offer his professional opinion. I wouldn't have gotten my offers pushed through if it wasn't for Rum!
Rum is fantastic! We had thought of a few options for selling prior to meeting with Rum, and without having to say anything to him, he had anticipated our needs and thoughts and had already prepared a few selling options for us. He knows the industry very well and in addition he did his research on our area to help ensure we made the best decision. Rum is really supportive, extremely responsive, and really took our best interests to heart.I really feel like he was fighting for us.
Rum was in touch several times a day when necessary. He came through with contacts for contractors, lenders, even homeowners insurance! Highly recommend! He's incredibly resourceful.
Rum not only found me my dream condo, but helped me through the entire process. A first time homebuyer, it was a very enjoyable experience. He was available to answer a whole array of questions! He also helped me find an amazing tenant when I moved. We plan to call Rum in a year when we sell the condo and buy a single family home.
Rum is highly knowledgeable and will expertly guide you through the process of buying or selling. If you want a true advocate for your real estate purchase or sale, he is the guy to call!
Rum was a joy to work with. He was always very responsive and a champion for my interests. I had the pleasure of working with when I bought and sold a home which can be very stressful. He was very patient and had a way of calming me down during the process. In addition I never had any problems with the mortgage companies he recommended along with other service providers. I highly recommend him as a Realtor if you want someone who has your back and can negotiate to get the best price for a home and also any potential upgrades if buying new construction
When you hire a realtor, you want someone who has no qualms in fighting on your behalf. You want someone who will fight tooth and nail for your benefit. You want someone who treats your money as if it were their own. John is THE MAN! And there is absolutely NO way we would have had an equally impressive experience buying our house (new construction with a VA loan) if we had a different realtor. I firmly believe that. We were first-time home buyers and were ignorant to the whole process, and quite frankly.... stressed out to the max! John came in and quickly took our stress from a 10 to a 0! He was always responsive, honest and never seemed annoyed to have us calling and texting (believe me we did that a lot) haha. He was always professional - and by the end - he honestly felt like a close friend of ours. We absolutely LOVE him and will sing his praises to everyone who will listen. If you're reading this review (and are in the market for a realtor), call him. Please.
I have worked with Rum on 3 separate occasions and I will continue to use him as my realtor. His knowledge about real estate, attention to detail and love for his job and clients are what keep me coming back. Having a realtor I can trust is the most important thing for me and Rum has his clients' backs. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rum to anyone who needs assistance with real estate matters.
Rum was great at explaining everything I had questions for as well as bringing up things that I probably wouldn't have thought about during the selling and buying process. He was always quick to respond to my questions and I'd definitely recommend him to any friends looking to buy/sell in the area!
"Rum" Rumcik did an amazing job both selling and buying my new house. Rum went over and beyond what a typical realtor would do to help me get top dollar for my house and a great deal on my new house. The entire experience was great from start to finish because of Rum's extensive knowledge. I highly recommend Rum to anyone that truly wants to have a realtor that will have his clients best interest.
John "Rum" Rumcik is everything you hope to find in a realtor. He is honest, straightforward and extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the home buying process. I have worked with him for a few years now; first helping me find a great rental property and now helping me to find my first home. He has shown an amazing amount of patience throughout and I am extremely confident referring family and friends to him.JJCAlexandria, VA
Rum has been our realtor for several years. We have a long story on great deals that wouldnt be accomplished without his intervention; here are some of them.On December 2008, we bought an investment property in Lorton VA. He was able to get it for us with a really good deal, thanks to his tenacity fighting with the banks and other investors.On September 2009 he was able to sell my primary residence in Fairfax Station VA for full price regardless we had a foreclosure across the street.On October 2009 he got for us an incredible property at an incredible price in Gainesville.For more than 5 years he has getting for us the better tenants you can have for our rentals.I can continue on and on but here is the bottom line: Hes the best realtor we have had. We would recommend him without hesitation to anybody that wants a realtor on his/her side, and get the best possible deals.Robert and Marta M
Well, it's been a year since we moved into our dream home in Gainesville, VA, and I thought it was time to give feedback on the performance of our realtor, John Rumcik from Remax.The bottom-line is that John got the deal done and handled *everything*. I'm not going to say that the process wasn't stressful, but he made it as easy as humanly possible. I came at him with a pricepoint in mind, and he hit that figure perfectly with exactly what we were looking for. His contacts with other professionals in the industry made financing, inspections, and closing as easy as it could possibly have been. Importantly, he negotiated every last penny out of the builder -- he actually was able to get them to pay 100 percent of our closing costs.Importantly, when I decided to rent our old townhouse, John found the perfect tenants for us -- great credit scores and good stewards of our property. And their rent check comes like clockwork each month. That in itself makes me thankful that we selected John as our real estate consultant.I would recommend John to anyone who needs real estate consulting. In fact, I already have, several times.Andy Schmidt, Gainesville, VA
