Lavina was the best in helping us find the perfect place for us as first time home owners. She was professional, courteous, and answered every question we had regardless of how simple or complex it was. She was very responsive through call, text, and email, and anytime we had a question about the home she would immediately contact the sellers agent and we would have an answer within hours. We felt like she always represented our best interests throughout our offer to closing, and helped us to work with the seller to have multiple repairs done that made our new home safer. She checked in with us every step of the way, and helped us find the perfect place for us and negotiated strongly to get it within our budget. We were so lucky to have her and are so thankful with how hard she worked on our behalf with us, our lender, and title company.
I had a wonderful experience working with Lavina. She was very patient throughout the entire process, always listened carefully, and truly understood our needs. She never pushed us toward something we did not want or need. Instead, she focused on helping us find a house that matched our needs and budget. Her professionalism, knowledge, and responsiveness made the process much easier and less stressful. I highly recommend Lavina to anyone looking to buy a home.
Lavina was outstanding in handling our sale. She is a true professional. She offered advice, guidance, and real time assistance as she walked us through every step of the process from our first meeting through the settlement. I would highly recommend her for your next real estate transaction.
Lavina Samtani provided exceptional service from start to finish. She was professional, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile to help me sell my house during a highly stressful time. I am incredibly grateful for Lavina's support throughout the closing process; she was always available to answer my questions and guide me through the final steps. Lavina made the entire home-selling experience a financial success for me. I highly recommend Lavina Samtani to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
I met Lavina Samtani at an open house in Germantown, and she was super friendly and easy to talk to. After that, we arranged to start looking for a house together. I had to stop my search for almost a year because of some personal stuff, but when I reached out again, she picked up right where we left off. She was just as kind and helpful as before. Even after we passed on a few houses, she never gave up on us and never pushed us to buy anything we didnt want. She gave us honest advice based on our budget, helped us get the seller to cover some of the closing costs, and reminded us to make sure the home warranty was transferred from the previous owner. She also gave us tips on how to settle into our new place, which really helped. Lavina was patient, supportive, and truly cared about finding the right home for us. I'm really glad we had her by our side, and I would definitely recommend her to any buyer looking for someone who actually cares.
Bought my house with her skills. We looked at over 15 houses in only 4 days. I finally found my perfect life house. The closing went perfectly. Her dedication and contacts made the experience easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend Lavina Samtani??
Lavina was amazing to work with. Her knowledge of the market as well as her integrity made the process stressless for me. Lavina actually cares about her customers. She was very communicative and detailed throughout the process. She went above and beyond to ensure I was well taken care before, during, and after the process. I have worked with Lavina with the purchase of my home as well as the sale of my home and both experiences were impeccable!
Lavina is an amazing realtor and person. She very quickly got to know What I wanted in a home And what would suit us best. She was also very quickly able to evaluate whether a property had hidden issues Like water damage or uneven floors that concealed a bigger problem. She was very patient with me when I wanted to see properties that she already knew wouldn't suit us. She never let on that She knew what my response was going to be in advance. We covered a very wide geographic area At my request. She never complained and always made herself available. She was able to get us quick showings and dealt with other agents so smoothly that I didn't realize how much work she was doing behind the scenes. Levina Has uncanny knowledge ofBeing able to price the market, How much the homes or lots were going to fetch. What details it would take to get the contract. Her network of associates is amazing. They, like her, are honest, meticulous and hard-working individuals in a variety of fields. Home inspectors, moving companies, junk removal, contractors, etc. She has vetted them all. We were extremely happy with the referrals she gave us. I Trust Lavina implicitly. Her honesty and integrity are a core part of her personality and it shows in everything she does including her work. She is very much a treasured asset in your search for a new home or selling your old home. Lavina has become a friend and I am ever thankful that she was referred to us. I can unconditionally recommend Lavina for your realtor with the highest of praises and complete confidence that you will be happy to work with her.
Lavina was recommended by our Baltimore-based agent as someone who was very knowledgeable in the Montgomery County real estate market. From the start she was helpful, personable, responsive and always on top of things. She and my wife (who did most of the searching) got along so well that by the end of the process they became good friends. Lavina consistently showed that she was well attuned to our priorities and always provided solid guidance in our search. Once we found our new home she continued to provide strong support from negotiation through closing. I could not recommend anyone more highly than Lavina - she is simply the best out there.
Was very responsive and had her ear to the ground in a fast moving market. She held viewings the same or next day when I saw an interesting listing she sent me. Lavina was knowledgeable about how to make strong offer in the Frederick market and helped me find a new home within a month!
I highly recommend Lavina! I immediately knew she was fully vested with me in selling my property and had my trust from the beginning. I worked with her for about 3 months...she went above and beyond in handling the smallest to largest detail. Please give Lavina the opportunity to list and sell your house, you will not be disappointed!
Ms. Lavina was incredibly professional and treated me like her own son. She had my back from the beginning as a buyers agent and made sure to dot the is and cross the ts. She even helped me save money on closing costs! Very thankful to have worked with Ms. Lavina. You definitely made a client for life :)
Lavina is the best agent that we have ever worked with. After recently moving back to the US from Australia, we wanted to find a house within 2 months. In this crazy market, we were very specific about the suburb, school district, our price range, etc. Lavina took it up as a challenge and delivered in a manner far better than I expected! She has always been there to answer any of our questions, guide us through the entire process, recommend lenders / contractors etc. During all our meetings, she ensured to make us always feel special and her topmost priority. She also helped us throughout the closing process where we had a challenging lenders agent who dropped the ball and messed up our timeline. Lavina did not hesitate to pick up the phone and talk to the lender?s agent to ensure that we were looked after right away. Without any hesitation, we would highly recommend Lavina to make your next home buying / selling experience simply amazing. Thanks for making our home buying experience effortless!
Lavina made it her personal mission to get us into our dream home! She has a passion for what she does- she is experienced, knowledgeable, and a powerful advocate who will offer her honest and valuable opinion. She was so patient with us as first time home buyers and guided us through the whole process, kindly responding as we called sometimes multiple times a day. She is a wonderful realtor and lovely person.
Lavina is a masterful realtor and an exceptional person to work with. If youre looking to buy or sell real estate, youre in supremely capable hands with Lavina. She conducts business with utmost integrity, skill, and pride in every step of the home buying process. If youre looking to buy or sell in Montgomery County, MD, its hard to find a better human being or realtor than Lavina.
Lavina is an excellent agent, especially for first time buyers like myself. She always puts her client first, and will always go the extra mile to protect her client. I knew very little of the home-buying process before starting with Lavina but she took time to hear all of my concerns and educate me fully on the homebuying process. She was patient, knowledgeable, clever and honest with me throughout the whole process, and extremely personable as well! I highly recommend Lavina for all homebuyers, first timers especially.
My husband and I had an amazing experience buying our new home with Lavina. She was extremely detail-oriented and was incredibly conscientious throughout our buying process. Lavina took the time to ensure she understood what we wanted, and never disappointed. Without hesitation, we would highly recommend Lavina to represent you... shes a fabulous advocate!

She is also a great advisor and is always honest and direct about what to expect and what is realistic for youre family. If youre looking for a high quality, high integrity agent, we highly recommend Lavina.
Lavina is an amazing agent who has a lot of passion in what shes doing. My husband and I found out about Lavina totally by mistake. The real estate agent that we were supposed to meet up with never showed up, and when we called his company, they introduced us to Lavina and we are so glad that he decided not to show up. After we gave her our dream home and our budget, she got to work right away and after a short amount of time we became home owners. She straightup gave us her truth opinion in every single houses we were interested in, went the extra mile to find out more details on the neighborhood, and even after the purchase was willing to help us feel comfortable in that home. We are from New York, and it hasnt even been two years since we moved here but she provided the safest, most perfect neighborhood we ever wanted. She is very professional, and has a lot of confident in her job. I really do recommend her to first home buyers just like us.
Working with Lavina has been fun and educational. This was my first home buying purchase. She acted as a guide and someone who was on my team. Thanks to her insight, feedback and strong negotiation skills, I got the home I wanted. I will recommend her to friends family and co- workers. Thank you Lavina!
Lavina is an expert agent around Germantown, MD area and is pleasant to work with. She is always available when I have a question on the subject and was greatly helpful to buy my rental property recently. I would be most happy to recommend her to all of my friends.
Lavina extremely professional. Returns calls promptly and goes the extra mile to make sure or concerns were taken care of. Lavina sold my mom home and again she came through when we made the purchase of an investment property. Both transactions went smoothly. We will definitely use her service if needed. Thanks Lavina you are the best.
She was very helpful and very patient. She did not pressure us to buy the instant we saw the first house. As a first time homebuyer she explained the whole process and provided with great recommendations with regards to other services. I would recommend her in a second.
We have been working with Lavina for many years now. She is the most conscientious, client-oriented, thoughtful professional we have ever worked with. She guided us through not only buying a house, but also selling it giving us invaluable advice following the market trend. She is utmost flexible in accommodating her client. We only have good things to say about her service. When we sell our current house, we will again work with her.
Lavina has acted as both our buyer and seller agent/Realtor for many years. We trust her in-depth knowledge of real estate which comes from many years of experience with all types of transactions. Her savvy negotiating skills have both saved us money and gotten us the most for our property. We highly recommend her.
Lavina, helped my son find his first house . She showed us other houses and pointed out the pros & cons for each. She helped us narrow down our choices and she made the process smooth and was there to answer any questions we had. I was so impressed with her that when I was going to sell my parents house (they passed away) I had her help me set the price & helped stage the house. The house was sold and again she was there any time we needed her. I will be moving soon and will use Lavina to help me set the price & stage the house for a quick sale. Thanks for all the help you have given my family. PS my other son will be looking for a house and Lavina get ready he is a trip. Gary T
My experience with Lavina has been excellent. She has always expressed a realistic opinion regardless if that was to her benefit or not. She is very knowledgeable, active and honest. She helped me see what the market indications with respect to pricing my property was and investigated the market in order to price it correctly. She helped me both with buying and selling my property. I recommend her very highly.

My wife and I have been using Lavina as a realtor since 2013 and we have always had an amazing experience working with her. She helped us secure several rentals and we made our first home purchase with her in 2017. We will absolutely use her again in the future when we are ready to buy our forever home. If any friends or family members are looking for a realtor we always recommend Lavina.
Lavina is knowledgeable about her work. She is professional when she works with you. In my case as a first time home buyer, Lavina was there for us all the way, taking the time to help us understand some of the language of home buying we did not know. She took the time to show us as many houses until we found what we were comfortable with. We appreciate you for all you did and your continued support. Thank you, Lavina. Jane Kahugu
I knew Lavina was the right realtor for my wife and I, from our initial appointment. She completely understood what we where trying to acomplsih and treated us like family not like just another transaction. Lavina helped us sell our home and purchase a new construction! She is very knowledgeable dealing with new construction contracts and had the right question to ask the builder. Due to builders delay Lavina was an essential tool and strived to negotiate proper resolution from the builder. Lavina did excellent job handling our sale of our home and new home. Overall we are very thankful and appreciative of all the help she has handed to us!
Lavina is a professional, patient, knowledgeable, great with first-time homebuyers, honest, hard working agent. She helped us through every single step of the process and always was there to answer any question we had. She gives her honest opinion when asked and only wants best for her client! Buying a home with Lavina as our agent was smooth, enjoyable, and stress free. Working with Lavina not only introduced us to an agent who we would use again and also recommend over and over, but also a friend! Thank you Lavina for all of your hardwork, you are wonderful!
Very well versed in real estate business. Approachable, dedicated and result oriented individual. Pleasant personality, easy to connect, people oriented real estate agent to work with.
Lavina helped us with the Sale and Purchase of our homes. She was amazing in the sale of our home and we could not be happier! Sold in less that 10 days for asking price. She was incredible and we were very happy with Lavina. We had a long house shopping process finding what we wanted but Lavina did try very hard to accommodate as we had alot of things on our must have list and a budget and I do believe it was a team effort. I was glued to zillow in the end and ultimately I was the one to finally find our home after Lavina had showed us a ton! She did make the appointment and helped us from start to finish in buying the house. Would definitely reccommend!!
I chose to work with Lavina because she was the only person who actually listened to me. I was a first time buyer and I was not ready to make any offers when i started looking. Lavina understood that and let me take my time getting my qualifications in order. When I was ready she was right there to guide me through everything at my speed. Lavina was always very professional and kind. I strongly recommend hiring Lavina to represent you whether buying or selling a home.
We put our house on the market and Lavina helped pave the way for a successful sale before the holidays. Lavina helped host two open houses and was very proactive in following up with agents of potential buyers. She has a great deal of knowledge and is always willing to make informative suggestions in the negotiation process. We encountered various obstacles regarding home inspection fixes and Lavina was able to save us by finding all the proper contractors we needed to get the job in a cost and time efficient manner. While our house was on the market, Lavina was enthusiastic about showing us new properties to move to. She was quick to seal the deal on a fabulous home in the prime location we were looking for. She is widely respected in the community and highly reputable. Look no further and trust that you are in safe hands. Thank you Lavina!
Lavina is amazing. Very knowledgeable, professional, gives her honest advice and did a great job negotiating to get areas notated during the home inspection to be fixed. Ive purchased two houses using Lavina as my real state agent and this year my son bought his first house thanks to her.
My husband and I had been looking to move for about 2 years before deciding that we were actually ready to do so. A friend of mine recommended Lavina to us and I really can?t say enough good things about her. She is knowledgeable, approachable, personable, endlessly patient, and incredibly generous with her time (including mornings, evenings, and weekends over the course of several months). She answered every question and explained every form and every part of the process clearly and thoroughly. We highly recommend her and love our new home. In addition to all of this, Lavina sold our old house quickly and for more than we had anticipated. The whole process was as seamless as possible.
Lavina is awesome. She has been a lot of help in solving a concern that resulted from my home purchase. Thanks Lavina for all your support. I really appreciate the time and effort spent.
Lavina has been our listing/buyer agent for many years. She continues to provide in-depth knowledge and expertise of the MD/DC real estate market - helping us negotiate challenging contracts and navigate the purchase and sale process. She brings her extensive experience as a Realtor and personal style to each successful transaction. We highly recommend working with her.
This is our second experience working with Lavina. Previously she helped us purchase our first home and recently helped us not only sell our home, but buy a new home. She was able to manage the process so that we would experience as little inconvenience as possible. She was extremely helpful, hard-working and is extremely knowledgeable about both the buying and selling process. She was quick to respond to our questions and flexible with her time. I highly recommend Lavina!
I knew selling my home was going to be very emotional for me. This was the first house I had owned and I had worked hard to make it my own. I interviewed several agents and Lavina Samtani was the obvious choice. She understood what I was going through and advised me of the process and encouraged/supported me every step of the way. What an amazing person she is! She planned and organized open houses and put out signs every weekend. If I had questions, she had the answers. Other houses on my street had been on the market for a year, after just 3 weeks I had an offer on my home. Lavina has a wonderful personality and I couldnt have asked for anyone better to have helped me during, what could have been, a difficult time. I highly recommend her.
Highly recommended! This was my first home and I was so fortunate to find Lavina! Her personality is warm and caring, her attitude is positive and encouraging and her work ethic is strong and admirable. Throughout the process, I found myself confused and overwhelmed many times. Lavina reassured me, educated me and was Never pushy, letting me take the lead while she supported me as a close friend would. When it is time for my second home, I am happy to know I already have the perfect agent on my side.
My wife and I have worked with Lavina twice now. We are so glad that we found her. She simply is great! She is very patient and really understands how to treat her clients with great customer service. She has an excellent grasp of the real estate market and how to navigate through the transaction process. She really helped us work through the home selection process and finally through the transaction. We highly recommend Lavina to anyone who is considering buying or selling a home. She just made it easy and fun for us.
Lavina has been very accommodating through out our search and sale. We searched and visited so many homes. She gave insights on what would be good and not. She went out of her way to do things that your everyday realtor does not do. I will use her again and highly recommend her to anyone searching for a home in Montgomery County or elsewhere. Thanks Lavina.
This is our second experience working with Lavina. In both cases, she has been amazing. She was exceptionally patient and helpful to us as we navigated the decision between renting and buying a home this time. She is a hard worker, has a fun personality, is extremely knowledgeable about the real estate process, and is completely dedicated to her clients. I was amazed with the efficiency which with she worked on things, often sending emails and advice at all hours of the day. She treated us like a member of her own family. I cannot recommend Lavina enough!
Trying to get a tenant when your house is not quiet ready to be rented, is not easy. Lavina has helped us a lot. She would go above and beyond for her client!
I am so glad I found Lavina! She was very active in my search process-- once she knew my general preferences, she quickly emailed me appropriate listings, and set up many property visits. She was extremely flexible in scheduling house tours, and she clustered them in such a way that we saw multiple locations in the same general area. As we saw properties and I was able to more define what I was looking for and what didnt work for me, Lavina adjusted her searches quickly and accurately. Lavina was nearly always reachable by phone -- and when I had to leave a message she always got back to me the same day, usually within an hour. She actively worked with me through the entire process-- she wanted to find the right house for me, not just have me purchase something that would have just been ok. She was aware not only of the properties in their current state and their current value vs. list price, but also she was thoughtful about the neighborhood, resale value, and potential upgrades/projects to increase value and livability. Lavina worked aggressively during the negotiation phase of the process to get me the best possible price. She kept me informed of the status of the process, and clearly explained my options when it came to specific terms in the offer. Lavinas enthusiasm, confidence, and professionalism was so helpful to me during the entire househunting process. I have already and will continue to recommend her to my friends and coworkers.
Lavina has been representing us for over three years now. We have successfully purchased and sold one property with her and are currently looking for more investments using Lavinas local expertise.
Lavina demonstrated a professional relationship with our interests as her first priority. We were informed of the entire selling/buying process in a timely fashion.
