ZillowVERIFIEDSave yourself! Do NOT use Mario or his partner Dimitri to sell your house. I had to fire Mario after he lost MULTIPLE contracts and offers on my townhouse. The 1st contract fell through due to an inspection which noticed a 4in hairline crack in the wall of the utility room of my middle unit townhome. Mario was extremely adamant in saying I MUST hire a structural engineer to diagnose the crack before I repair & put back on market, against me saying this was a minor issue I hired a structural engineer & the report concluded there were no structural problems (which I already told him). After getting the crack repaired Mario said he is LEGALLY obliged to post all the documents on our listing, in which I told him sounded crazy because issue was repaired. Mario went out of his way to insure buyers were aware of the FIXED CRACK. After losing 4 contracts & offers all for asking price! He then tells me he will take the documents down! and recommend we reduce our price by $15,000!! I explained the situation to his broker Jim Lyons who was very understanding on why I need to fire Mario because I believed there was a 0% chance he could sell my house. All Jim Lyons could do was waive our staging fees. I would have fired Mario sooner but we were getting offers basically every 3-4 days. Dealing with Mario gave me anxiety due to him losing month of time and THOUSANDS of $$$. Overall Mario is a nice person, but I wouldnt trust him to sell a house. So bad Ive decided to get a real estate license myself before I hire anyone else to sell property for me. 1404 Milbank Rd. Woodbridge VA

ZillowVERIFIED Mario Rios has been uncommunicative and unpleasant to work with. Not only does he send tons of listings that don't even fit basic criteria you're looking for (such as pet friendly), but I also requested to look at multiple properties a week or more ago with the understanding that my current lease expires on the 30th. It took me reaching out today to find out not only has he not done any of the legwork for reaching out to those properties, but he's not even in town. He asks me if I'm available to look at houses with him 2 days before I'm supposed to move. Absolutely not recommended.

ZillowVERIFIED In the past 5 months, we have purchased and sold homes through KWMetro Center, ONE Residential in Alexandria VA. Our Realtor, Mario Rios, and his team proved to be efficient, effective, patient and caring in helping us to list our home and to purchase the new home we chose. We are grateful for his professionalism; and gladly recommend his services to others. Every aspect of the process was supported.

ZillowVERIFIED Mario is a great agent! From the beginning, my husband and I had our eyes on a specific home. We purchased the house we wanted thanks to Mario's knowledge of the market and superior negotiating skills. He and his team made the home-buying process super easy and words can't express how grateful we are for all their help!

ZillowVERIFIED I worked with Mario during both the purchase of my first home, and then the sale of that same home several years later. Mario is very professional and prompt in communicating. As a buyer, his recommendation on what offer was needed to get the home was exactly right - I just beat out competing offers without overspending thanks to his advice. As a seller, his staging team prepared my home very professionally. Mario scheduled 8 hours of open houses in one weekend and quickly attracted an offer I was very satisfied with. Mario again provided prompt and accurate counsel as before.

ZillowVERIFIED We bought our dream home after only looking for 1 month and we couldn't have done it without Mario! As first-time home buyers, Mario was incredibly informative about the process and what to expect and answered all our questions timely and thoroughly. The entire time I felt Mario had our best interests at heart and could fully trust him through his recommendations on appraisal, offer, negotiations, and more. We would definitely recommend Mario for anyone in their home buying journey. We were so grateful to have such a trusted partner and advocate during our home buying process. He knocked it out of the park! .

ZillowVERIFIED My husband and I were connected to Mario through Zillow and we knew right away that he was the perfect person to help us by our first home. As newlyweds who were very tentative to engage in the Northern Virginia real estate market, Mario was informative, educational, and stood with us through the whole process of buying our first home. He answered all of our silly questions without making us feel stupid. He always felt that he always took the time to explain things to us, and always made us feel like a priority, even when he had so many other clients. He was engaging, supportive, and really made us feel like we were heard whenever we were looking at homes, or had concerns. When we did finally find a home to put an offer on, he was extremely helpful in creating a competitive offer, and was quick to put our offers in as soon as possible. Without him we would not have been able to buy our first home. He even made the process of closing on our home as easy as possible with the title company. I would recommend Mario to any and all of my friends looking to buy a home. He and his team made buying a home (almost) easy in this crazy market. Thank you Mario!

ZillowVERIFIED Mario was an excellent realtor, especially during the touring and negotiation phase of my girlfriend and my home search. Neither of us had purchased a home before, but he helped us explore the market and find the right place for us. He was always responsive and cheerfully willing to go on countless tours with us. When the time came to make offers, Mario helped us figure out how to negotiate with sellers and craft a winning offer. Because of him, we won the bidding for the second home we looked at. Finally, Mario took a real interest in our home search and was willing to spend countless hours talking with and reassuring us. We would work with him again.

ZillowVERIFIED Mario Rios was very helpful and efficient in our home search. He provided very useful information during our search that lasted several weeks some of which required video tours from remote locations. This led to finding a property that fully satisfied our needs. We highly recommend Mario for your real estate needs.

ZillowVERIFIED Mario Rios was a rock star for my Wife and I through the buying process. Our journey was a tad different where we had a certain budget and time frame to move from like 6 states away. Mario was kind, worked hard, and was very knowledgeable about the area. Even post close Mario continues to provide information to us, like getting our carpets redone in the new place. This man is a ROCKSTAR, if you are selling or buying in ALEXNDRIA, VA , Mario is your guy!

ZillowVERIFIED We found Mario randomly on Zillow and could not be more thrilled with what the Zillow gods bestowed upon us! Right out the gate, he was informative and worked with us to get what we were looking to own, always available for our questions and concerns. Thanks to him, we got a home we are over the moon for and he helped the process go amazingly smooth!

ZillowVERIFIED Mario's advice on putting together an offer was the difference that enabled me to get the home I now own. I would not have known what a winning offer was without him. Through the whole process, from initial consultation to settlement, he was very responsive, respectful, knowledgeable, and honest. His study and realistic assessment of the market in the neighborhood I ended up buying in helped me make a very well calibrated offer.
