ZillowVERIFIEDNick and Donna were fantastic, and we could not have been more pleased with their service and the outcome of our home sale. Nick and Donna were easy to work with, friendly, professional, and looked out for us throughout the process. They and their team kept us fully informed, managed the sale deftly from end-to-end, and gave us the confidence we needed during the negotiations with buyers. Nick, Donna, and team's efforts and results were outstanding, and were the reason that we sold above list price, with very favorable terms, and on a timeline that worked for us. We were incredibly happy with our partnership with the Lutkins Group and they will be our first call when we are looking to purchase our next home.

ZillowVERIFIEDI had the absolute pleasure of working with Nick and Donna of Lutkins Group to sell my home, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. From the very first meeting, Nick and Donna was professional, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to helping me achieve the best possible outcome. They provided expert advice on renovations, pricing, and marketing, and it was clear that they had a deep understanding of the local market. What impressed me most was how Lutkins went above and beyond throughout the entire process. Communication was always timely and clear, and they were always available to answer questions and provide updates. The listing went live, and within couple of days we had multiple offers well above asking price. I felt confident and supported every step of the way, and the sale of my home was smoother and more successful than I ever could have hoped for. If you're looking for a reliable, dedicated, and result-driven top notch agents, I highly recommend Nick and Donna. They truly made this experience a wonderful one. G. Afsar

ZillowVERIFIEDWe were so fortunate to have Nick and Donna as our real estate agents. Their knowledge, professionalism, and experience made the selling process a breeze.

ZillowVERIFIEDThis is our second real estate transaction with Donna and Nick and both went perfect! Nearly five years ago, they helped us find our perfect home, premarket, saving us money and getting the home quickly as desired. And now, as we start our post retirement adventures, they helped us quickly sell our home. We got an incredible offer the first weekend, well above h asking price and zero contingencies! Donna and Nick are the best in the business!

ZillowVERIFIEDNick and Donna handled the sale of my home. Donna was fantastic at recommending some upgrades, repairs and refreshes to help sell the home. She even made most of the arrangements. They are extremely knowledgeable, professional and thoroughly committed to helping in every way they can. I highly recommend this duo for all your real estate needs.

ZillowVERIFIEDI worked with Nick on several rental properties and he helped us to find the best rental property with a quick turnaround. We recently bought a house with the support of Nick, Donna, and their team from the house tour, selecting the right house, making the right offer, and selecting the right people to work throughout the offer till closing. Nick and his team were incredibly responsive and proactive, promptly addressing any questions or concerns we had and consistently keeping us updated throughout the process. Their professionalism and attention to detail instilled confidence in us, making the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend Nick, Donna, and their team to anyone in search of a dedicated and knowledgeable real estate agent who truly goes above and beyond for their clients for both rental and sell/buy properties.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I had the pleasure of working with Nick and Donna in the search for our first home. We would have gotten nowhere without their years of experience and expertise. I think what we appreciated most about Nick and Donna was that they went out of their way to overcommunicate - before, during, and after the sale of the home. Look no further - this is the team you want to work with. Thank you again Nick and Donna!

ZillowVERIFIEDThe Lutkins are amazing. Thank you, Donna and Nick, for all your help and with such a great result. The original sales price estimates aEURoeas isaEUR? was $300 to 350K. Based on the Lutkins direction, contractors and about $30K we were able to sell the house for $514K. Again amazing! Thank you!!! My sisters townhouse in Virginia Oaks, in Gainesville, Virginia was in bad shape. As a single mom and sick the last few years she never was able to take care of her house. Her house was a hoarders house. You can see from the pictures the condition it was in bad shape, a hole in the kitchen floor out to the back deck, water damage on two levels, and so much more, it was a real mess.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe could not be happier with the excellent service provided by Donna and Nick. When we decided to list our house, we interviewed several agents. Most had the same ideas, didnt seem too excited to list our house, etc. However, as soon as Nick and Donna saw the house, they picked up on little improvements we had made, unique qualities our house had, etc. Knowing what would be important to potential buyers. They came up with a fantastic strategy to list the house, with the timing of the coming soon announcement, release of drone photos, 3D walkthru photos, listing date, open house schedule, etc. Once confirming we were comfortable with their proposed schedule, they took the lead and scheduled all the services to meet that schedule. Their description of the house for the real estate websites accentuated the unique qualities of our house, which made it stand out to potential buyers. We had thousands of views and hundreds of saves within hours of the announcement. Results speak for themselves, as the house sold in a few days at well over asking and with a two week settlement date. We were completely impressed with their professionalism, communication and wisdom about what buyers were looking for in our area.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe loved working with Nick and Donna for the recent purchase of our new home. We are newer to Virginia and the NoVA area and Nicks expertise of the local neighborhoods, communities and towns really helped us find the perfect area for us. Nick always acted with urgency and was always thinking three steps ahead. When touring homes he was sure to point out the things we would need to think about should we move forward with offer and was always prepared to answer the questions we had about different homes. Given the market we had to go through multiple offers before purchasing our dream home and each time the transaction was seamless. We were always confident in the guidance Nick and Donna provided and even when our offer wasnt accepted we felt confident we went forward with the strongest and best offer we could. Nick was always encouraging as well, letting us know that he was confident wed find the right for home for us, and BOY did we! Home shopping and buying with the Lutkins is like working with a trusted friend. We would certainly recommend them 100%!

ZillowVERIFIEDNick and Donna made our house buying experience easy. We relocated from out of state and knew very little about the local market. Nick really listened to what we were looking for and helped us find our forever home! He is knowledgeable about the market and when we found our dream home, his strategy was so spot on that we are now living in the first and only house we made an offer on. If you are looking for someone who is a great listener, strategist, and will get you into the home you want without the crazy bidding wars, call Nick and Donna.

ZillowVERIFIEDI?ve known Nick and Donna for years, and trust them completely. They know this area better than anyone, and are always on top of every aspect of the market. They are also honest and never push their clients. It?s been so great working with them and the entire home buying experience was almost completely stress-free because I always knew I was in good hands despite the market fluctuations . They consistently go out of their way for their clients and I consider them to be personal friends. I highly recommend Nick and Donna Lutkins for both home buying and home selling, hands down. They are absolutely first rate.

ZillowVERIFIEDThe Lutkins team was very helpful throughout our entire process but I believe the most helpful thing was in the initial meetings where Nick and Donna gave us very clear data and documentation on the items that were needed in order to get our house ready to sell as well as the correct pricing approach for the home.The entire process went very smoothly. Donna and Nick set very clear expectations and all of them were met or exceeded. We were very pleasantly surprised with the time frame that we were able to complete this listing and sale.Communication was excellent throughout the transaction and we were always aware of what would be happening next. Both Nick and Donna were very responsive by text, phone, and email.I would absolutely work with Donna and Nick Lutkins again as well as recommend them to my friends and family.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe were extremely pleased with Nick Lutkins and his team at the Lutkins Group and Compass Relators. They assembled a team to cover 3 regions in our search for a new home in the DC metro area. With their expert guidance and overwhelmingly professional approach, we were able to accomplish a comprehensive home search in Northern Virginia near Arlington/Fairfax/Mt Vernon and Manassas/Ashburn/Reston as well as Maryland north of the beltway. With the extended team that Compass offers, we covered more ground in less time with greater efficiency than we thought possible. Accomplishing a search from out of state is challenging and the Compass team assembled a group of professionals including Nick Lutkins, Justine Pope, and Jocelyn Vas. In 3 weeks we saw homes in all 3 geographic areas, narrowed down to the area most suitable for our needs and found the perfect home. Nick guided a successful offer in a competitive bidding situation and a complication-free closing process. We highly recommend all three realtors for anyone looking in the DC metro area and thank them for their diligence and assistance.

ZillowVERIFIEDI can't say enough about my experience with Nick and Donna Lutkins! I was on a compressed timeframe to purchase a home earlier this year and Nick was able to leverage his knowledge of the local market to find a great home in an excellent location in my price range. This was no small feat given the craziness of the market at the time. Nick went above and beyond to work with me through it all, from recommending a lender to facilitating a complex negotiation through supporting me post-sale. I appreciate Nick and Donna for their integrity, swift and direct communication, and willingness to advocate for their clients.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe wish to share the outstanding experience we had with the Lutkins Group Realty. At our initial meeting, Donna & Nick were clear on the process and market pricing of our home. After signing, they walked us through the timeline and assisted in finding us contractors to do some cleaning, repairs and even a moving company. Their choice of photographers was excellent, including both matterport and aerial, as well as the stills. As offers came in, they sent them our way and within 24 hours of closing we were selecting a buyers offer. Donna patiently answered our questions and explained both pros and cons of each offer, encouraging us to make the decision that best suited us. Due to having moved out of state before closing, we closed electronically. It was extremely easy and took less than 30 minutes. I would highly recommend using them again. They are good, honest people and made selling so easy.

ZillowVERIFIEDWhen my wife and I began our search for a new home we started by going to Open houses through which we met Nick and Donna. Our first impression was that they were seasoned real estate professionals and could help us navigate this crazy market. The Lutkins did indeed help us find the right house at the right price and sell our existing home. Before we started, we explained the challenge was selling our house and getting it closed prior to the settlement on our new home. We met with Donna and Nick and developed a strategy whereby they explained what we needed to get done prior to listing, the timing, and the pricing. We followed their guidance, and the sale was flawless. During the listing Donna was in constant communication with us and the buying agents. We sold our house in one day, over the asking price. It was amazing. Throughout the whole process, both Nick and Donna were there for us providing daily updates. The Lutkins Group support team coordinated all the activities associated with the closing on both properties making it a painless process. There is no other way to say it than this team is the best hands down. Would we use the Lutkins again? Yes, in a heartbeat.I know we have said it many times but once moreaEUR|.. Thanks Donna and Nick.

ZillowVERIFIEDThe Lutkins Group and their team are absolutely the best! They were recommended to us by my brother-in-law who recently used them to sell his home. Donna and Nick were very knowledgeable of our neighborhood and the current market and made the process of selling our home very smooth and easy. We received multiple offers above asking price and they helped us choose the best offer for us that gave us the flexibility for our move out date with no contingencies. They also helped us with the purchase of a new construction home and were very helpful when we had issues with the builder.The Lutkins Group made our home selling and buying experience stress free and a pleasure. I highly recommend their entire team. They were always responsive, professional and an absolute joy to work with.

ZillowVERIFIEDThe Lutkins group did a fantastic job helping me with my home search and helping me deal with a myriad of problems when it came to selling my place. I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking to purchase, sell, or rent a place. They were easy to reach, professional, quick to respond either phone or email. They were everything I wanted and expected out of a realtor. What really made them stand out compared to other realtors that I have experienced is that they went far above and beyond what I would have expected any realtor to do. Specifically speaking, they took a ton of personal time to assist me during a flood of my place by covering expenses (until I had the funds to pay them back), helping organize contractors, and provided general advice/support every step of the way. I particularly liked that I have never felt pressured to buy or sell and that they were always honest and upfront with me about the entire real estate process. Ive worked with Nick and his son Garrett Lutkin who made me feel like family. The Lutkins group is a small family run real estate group that would be an awesome choice to help you with your real estate needs.

ZillowVERIFIEDSelling a house can be really stressful. We were concerned about selling our house in such a hot market. We were not sure how to price it, how much to do to the home to get it ready, and how to position it for the right buyer. Nick and Donna were the perfect agents for us! They came into our home and knew instantly the best approach to take. Everything they said about who was are best buyer and how the process would go happened exactly as they predicted. We listed the house on a Friday and had a contract on Monday. Nick and Donna are very well-connected in the area and had a number of resources where they could share our home for sale. The fact that the market in our area is so fast right now really helped, but I have confidence with all of their resources and connections, the house wouldve sold fast and for top dollar at any time. Their communication, business processes, and professionalism was totally on point. We knew what was happening every step of the way. When potential buyers came to our door, Donna was already on the line with their agent. I highly recommend Donna and Nick Lutkins for any real estate transaction. Their experience, expertise, and professional support is the best. Plus, theyre really great people, which makes everything even better!

ZillowVERIFIEDI dont think there are words for me to describe just how incredible it was to work with Nick and the rest of his team. As first-time home buyers, we were afraid the process would be overwhelming, but they were patient in explaining the entire process upfront, and then walking us through each and every step. Being available to answer any questions we might have as they came up. They were open and honest about what it would take to make competitive offers, but at the same time were not actively pushing for us to buy a home just for the sake of owning property. They really went out of their way to ensure that what we bought was right for us and our needs. I couldnt imagine working with anyone else. The process was seamless, and we felt included and informed throughout. They were quick to respond to set up showing, put offers together, and ensure that the offers we submitted were what the sellers agent wanted them to be (which is ultimately why our offer was accepted in our case). Once we had an offer selected, the rest of process worked like clockwork. They make it so easy to keep on top of any obligations you may have, and send you reminders in order to stay ahead of what is coming up next. I cannot imagine working with another team. If you are in the market for an agent, this is a one stop shop. Look no further. Nick, Donna, Sam, and the rest of the team are incredible and I guarantee you will not regret your decision to have them represent you as your agent. One agent simply cannot do the work that this team does, as seamlessly or as quick as they do.

ZillowVERIFIEDThis was my first time buying a home, 2nd time for my Wife. I didn't really know what to expect going into everything. My Wife and I looked for a few months, but had no luck. Then one day I requested an agent meet us at a house my Wife and I were interested in and everything changed from that point on. We met Nick Lutkins, who at this point I can say is not only our amazing realtor, but a good friend as well. Through the whole process we've worked with Nick, his wonderful Donna , and awesome Garret. They all went above and beyond when it came to what it was we were looking for. Communication was excellent. I can always reach Nick whenever I had any questions, and he really made the process in this crazy market enjoyable and painless. His area knowledge and experience really helped us narrow down what exactly we were looking for, and in the the end we got exactly what we wanted for the right price. If you want someone who will truly look out for you, then I highly recommend Nick and Donna Lutkins.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe sold our home in September 2021; Donna and Nick were an absolute pleasure to work with and were able to handle our needs perfectly when we told them we were moving to France on the first of September - so they only had a very limited window of us being in Ashburn, let alone the US to work with. They were extremely helpful and responsive whenever we had questions: they were able to quickly provide the information for local talent for repairs and handywork (which my wife and I both appreciated supporting our communities tradesmen.)We began receiving notifications to approve or decline showings almost immediately when we notified Donna and Nick that we were ready for them, all before the open house.Donna and Nick both clearly respected our concerns regarding COVID: both wore their masks and they brought little placards to put on desk near the entry that masks were required inside the residence prior to the showings and open house.We would highly recommend Donna and Nick for any future realty needs: their ability to effortlessly adapt to the unfortunate realities of a COVID world combined how genuinely kind and responsive they were, shows an incredible level of competence and empathy for evolving situations.

ZillowVERIFIEDI'm confident that the Lutkins Group got us the best offer for our home with minimum hassle and maximum profit. We interviewed another broker and a "flat fee" competitor before selecting the Lutkins Group to sell our house. From cleaning and staging to pricing and paperwork, Donna had the answers to all our questions. Nick and Garrett hosted an open house over the weekend which brought in multiple offers above our asking price. The rest of the team helped guide us through the process and made every detail as easy as possible for us. When I asked the flat fee broker how they could charge less for their services they replied "volume". With further questioning, I realized this meant less time and fewer services for their clients. They were lukewarm to holding an open house and didn't seem to know much about our neighborhood. By contrast, Donna's sales expertise and deep knowledge of the Northern Virginia market were obvious and quickly delivered results that were beyond our expectations. Thanks!

ZillowVERIFIEDDonna & Nick proved to be the most competent realtors we have encountered in the past 10 years. Their selection was based upon an interview that my wife and I had with the top 3 realtor firms - all 3 firms had excellent ratings. One of the top 3 firms fell out early in the process. Nick and Donna distinguished themselves by relating to us as far as our wants, and how best they could help us achieve them by applying their collective years of accumulated knowledge. It was their repeated demonstrated skill at anticipating contractors' with a variety of skills we needed. This alone though wasn't sufficient. We quickly found accessing the more competent contractors usually meant waiting weeks - because these skilled, reputable contractors were all backlogged. Accessing truly competent contractors was Nick & Donnas' most proficient and valuable skill for us. They had contractors at our door the next day, when we were told by contractors we contacted, that it would take 4 to 6 weeks to do our work because they were all backlogged. Nick and Donna and their extended team of support personnel kept us always well informed on; scheduling prospective Buyers' access to our home, Title, Inspection and Settlement matters. Nick and Donnas' skill resulted in us receiving a winning offer in the first 3 days of $10,000 above our listed price, and this also included a cost escalation clause for an additional $22,000 - now that was Remarkable. Settlement occurred within just a few weeks from the initial winning offer. Nick and Donna... What a Great Team For Us !!!!

ZillowVERIFIEDDonna and Nick are truly the best! Selling a home - especially in a compressed timeframe - is amongst the most stressful events that a person/couple can experience. Having Donna and Nick's steady hands throughout was beyond helpful. There are so many nuances, relationships and 'surprises' to manage throughout and there is no substitute for the even-keeled guidance that comes from a deep level of experience. They were consistently available - early/late, weekends and otherwise which is extremely helpful then things are moving quickly. We would gladly work with Donna and Nick again and highly recommend them for your consideration.

More importantly, they are honest and genuine. Even though we encountered delays on my parents' out of state home sale, Nick was able to negotiate an extension of our original closing date with the seller. He always answered calls and texts quickly and was always available for questions. I would highly recommend The Lutkins Group.

Review for Member: Nick and Donna Lutkins
ZillowVERIFIEDNick did a great job negotiating the best price for me. There is an art to writing an offer, not just picking a low number. We were putting in an offer for a house that already had an offer in-hand. Nick talked to the realtor to understand why the homeowners hadn't accepted the 1st one, and worked with all parties to pick a fair offer for me that was attractive and low. When a home inspection uncovered a foundation problem, we were stuck: our offer stipulated the inspection was for information only. Nick saw an opportunity based on his experience! Now that the homeowners knew about the foundation damage, they'd have to disclose it if we walked away. He got them to drop their price a little to help with fixing the problem!

ZillowVERIFIEDI highly recommend The Lutkins Group for your real estate needs. They were on top of everything through the entire process. Agent, Marcia Stewart, knew exactly what we were looking for & kept in contact with us constantly. Most importantly, she alerted us to listings before they went to market in order to get early viewings. Being new to the area, she narrowed down specific areas that were closest to our needs and wants. We ended up getting the house we wanted because of her and The Lutkins Group creativity when it came to placing an offer with added incentives that made it more appealing. Even after our purchase, Marcia gave us many recommendations for services & places to go in the area that we ended up using. Their experience and professionalism made the entire process run smoothly and efficiently.

ZillowVERIFIEDIf you are looking for a caring, genuine, and yet witty agent, look no further, Donna Lutkins is the one! She and her team are knowledgeable, efficient, well organized and quick to reply and address issues in a timely manner. Donna helped us sell our first home and patiently showed us around in this frenzy market until we found our forever home. We love and appreciate her honest feedback. There were a handful of times where she would point out potential areas of concern and explain to us why she thought so. In hindsight, we truly believe she saved us from future headaches and money pits. One of the few agents that sticks to her word and actually follow through. Thank you Donna - it's been an absolute pleasure working with you. The Lin Family

ZillowVERIFIEDDonna and The Lutkins Group team are true professionals through and through. My wife and I were not sure if trying to sell our house in the dead of winter was a good idea, but Donna assured us it was the perfect time. She was very knowledgeable with every aspect of prepping and selling our house; from the pictures that highlighted our home to the marketing strategy that brought in multiple offers and ending with the selling of our house at way above asking price. There was constant communication with Donna and her team so we, as first-time home sellers, never felt alone. We always had their helping and guiding hands throughout the whole process. She also introduced us to the realtor in Florida where we bought our new home. We cannot thank Donna enough for reassuring us that now was the absolute best time to sell and to not wait until Spring when the competition grows. 10 out of 10 and five stars for Donna and her team!Steve & Mina

ZillowVERIFIEDWorking with the Lutkins Group was great! They delivered when they said they would, they were very responsive and helped us navigate the winding road of both buying our new home and selling our existing home. So glad we had professionals on our side!

ZillowVERIFIEDWhen we decided to downsize our house, we interviewed several realtors. Nick and Donna was the winner. They gave a very professional presentation of their skills and more importantly they were very personable and easy to talk with and felt they would be easy to work with. Our initial impression was right on. They found us a buyer almost immediately with an over list offer. They showed us several condos and houses that matched our requirements eventhough there is a very limited inventory in our area. They did a fantastic job of keeping us informed every step of the buying and selling process. They were great and made the buying and selling process easy. I recommend Donna and Nick to anyone that is buying and selling a house.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe worked with Nick and Donna for both buying and selling. They are an amazing team and have wonderful people working with them. The whole Lutkins group is great. We had VERY specific wishes for our new home and Nick listened and understood exactly what we were looking for in a property and was diligent in keeping us updated in this competitive market. He was very responsive and I felt like he really prioritized and expedited getting us in to see a property when we showed interest. I feel his knowledge of the area, current market and guidance on the contract details were the key factors in us getting our home over other contracts. This was our first time selling a home and I was grateful to have the Lutkins group assist with that as well. Donna is extremely knowledgeable on home sales and guided us every step of the way. We were confident in her recommendations on home sale preparations and did a fantastic job getting us a good price. Their team members Sam and Eowyn really kept us updated every step of the way and helped make sure we had everything in order so that it all went smoothly. Thank you Lutkins Group!
