Robert was incredible to work with. He was encouraging yet realistic and helped my family obtain a beautiful home within their price range. We appreciated his attention to detail and vast knowledge of each home we viewed. As first-time home buyers, at no moment did we feel pressured to act, nor were we ever left in the dark. Robert was with us each step of the way, taking the extra time to call and iron out the small details. Robert truly cares for his clients, and it shows. Thank you again, Robert, for going above and beyond for us.

I can't say enough great things about Kathy Smail with Capital Crest Group at Long & Foster. Kathy was by my side as I sold my current home and purchased a new home. I had so many questions and concerns, Kathy made the entire process smooth and as stress-free as possible. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the local market and guided me through every step with patience and professionalism. Her attention to detail, responsiveness, and genuine care for my needs made all the difference. Kathy went above and beyond, virtually staging my home before it went on the market and adding just enough of her own accessories to give it a warm welcoming feeling. As I searched for a new home, she also provided additional guidance to help me envision how I could make my new purchase feel like a home. I truly felt like I had an advocate in my corner, ensuring that I found the perfect home at the best possible price. Whether your a first time home buyer or looking for your forever home, look no further than Kathy Smail. Kathy is a realtor who is knowledgeable about the area, professional and truly wants to help you sell your current home and/or help you find your dream home. "Highly Recommend"

Kathy was a pleasure to work withaEUR| again. Two years ago she sold our house in Crownsville during Covid, and within a week. We then moved to Two Rivers in Odenton and wanted to move to The open spaces of Colorado. Kathy, a wonderful friend as well as realtor again helped us through the process of getting the house ready to show and found us a great buyer! We recommend Kathy to everyone we know. She knows and executes the process of listing and selling your house with ease. You will be as pleased as we were when she lists and sells your house!
