    About Pauline Knipe

    Born and raised in the Washington Metropolitan area, I attended the University of Maryland and graduated from the University of New Orleans. Since 1999, I have been a licensed Realtor focused on serving home buyers and sellers in Vienna and the surrounding areas. Since that time, I have sold over $200 million in properties and have consistently been in the top 1% of Realtors (producers) nationwide. I enjoy walking my clients through the challenges of every real estate transaction so that it is the least stressful it can possibly be for them. I am particularly adept at advising people on how to prepare a home for sale and how to price a property to move " without having it be undervalued. I also apply creative thinking to every situation in order to deliver results, whether that means deploying grassroots marketing tactics or tackling tough negotiations from a fresh, new angle. I've found homes for several buyer clients that were never on the market solely by seeking those sellers out in specific neighborhoods of interest to my clients. I have lived in Vienna since 1996 with my husband Jim, a former USMC Officer, and our two sons. My favorite past-time, apart from hanging out with family and friends, is petting dogs that are out for a walk with their owners, as I run along the W&OD trail. I have yet to meet a dog that I didn't love.

    Pauline is a brilliant realtor! Your best decision will be hiring her. We started looking for a home early, and she made sure to stay in communication and monitor the market for homes we were interested in. She has an exceptional knowledge of the northern VA real estate market. I always felt at ease knowing she was our realtor. She was super responsive at all times and skillfully secured a deal for our new home in a competitive market. I can't recommend her enough.

    I cannot say enough good things about working with Pauline. We were intimidated by relocating within the competitive Vienna market and wanted an expert on the area. A friend immediately recommended Pauline and I am still grateful. She listened to us and was responsive at our initial meeting. Not only did she find us our current house, which we are thrilled with, but she helped us list our previous home with a tight turn around time. Her recommendations for cleaners and contractors were invaluable in helping us get our house ready for the market. We received multiple offers and the offer we accepted exceeded our expectations. Though we hit a few snags during the closing process, Paulines expertise and support kept everything on track. I do not believe we would have found or successfully closed on our current home had we used another agent. On top of being extremely competent and knowledgeable, Pauline is also a delight personally. I would absolutely use her again (which hopefully wont be anytime soon) and will recommend her to friends in the future.

    Pauline was incredible to work with. She was thoughtful of my budget, was always extremely responsive to any/all of my questions, and most importantly, understanding. As a first-time homebuyer, I was very unsure of many aspects of the homebuying process. Pauline guided me through the entire process from start to finish like an old friend and helped me make decisions that were right for ME. Having worked with a few other realtors, this was an invaluable quality. She knew the market, knew the area, and had a knowledge that fought me to get the best deal possible. I cannot overstate how amazing Pauline is!!

    Pauline is the reason we are now sitting in our amazing first home that we have been dreaming about for years! Her knowledge of the area, process, and way with people makes for a truly enjoyable home buying process. We immediately felt like family to her, and knew she always had our best interest at heart. We would not be here without her!!
