TTR Sotheby's International Realty

Lyssa Seward of The Seward Group | TTR Sotheby's International Realty is an outstanding realtor who guided us seamlessly through the purchase of our new home, as well as the sale of our existing home. My husband and I were focused on downsizing to a townhome in a popular subdivision in a very tight market, and Lyssa found us a property that we loved. She closely advised us on every step of the offering process navigating lots of back and forth with the seller's agent. Her experience in the real estate industry was invaluable during this transaction, especially negotiation of the contingencies. She remained unflappable and confident throughout the whole process and was always available for all of our questions and concerns. Lyssa's service as a buyer's agent was terrific, but she and her team really shined during the preparation and sale of our house. From the moment she saw our home, which we had lived in for 22 years, she knew exactly what needed to be done to get it ready for today's market with a big, powerful impact. She coordinated painters, carpet companies, hardwood floor refinishers, professional stagers, and a videoographer/photographer, all while managing our budget requirements. The presentation of our house was fantastic, and we were very happy with the results -- a full-price offer with no contingencies after just one day on the market. My husband and I strongly recommend Lyssa and her team at The Seward Group for buying or selling any home. Their vast, in-depth experience, professionalism, and marketing savvy were critical factors in both of our transactions. And with Lyssa's no-pressure, but steady approach, you really can't be in better hands.

Melody Abella was absolutely wonderful to work with throughout our home-buying journey. She was professional, knowledgeable, patient, and always available to answer our questions. She guided us through every step, made the process much less stressful, and truly listened to what we were looking for. We are very grateful for her support and expertise and would highly recommend Melody to anyone buying or selling a home in Arlington or Northern Virginia. Five stars all the way!

Working with Lyssa Seward (alongside her daughter Carly and The Seward Group) was the best decision we made during our relocation back to Alexandria from out of state. Together, they seamlessly quarterbacked three major undertakings at once: helping us buy our dream home, turning over and leasing our Alexandria townhouse, and project-managing two weeks of post-closing repairs before we moved in. Lyssas deep roots and off-market network near Waynewood helped us spot an incredible off-market home. Facing competing interest, she arranged a last-minute Sunday pre-offer inspection to fit our travel window, had Charlie Seward review the findings, and guided us on the winning offer strategy. All while Carly secured 24-month tenants above asking price on our townhouse before it even officially launched. Best of all, during the two weeks between closing and our move-in, Lyssa didn't just hand us vendor names.. she and Carly project-managed our entire repair list, gathering quotes and meeting contractors on-site (shout-out to Charlie Seward for his guidance and Purnima Trifonova for effortless settlement coordination!). You will not find a better advocate than Lyssa!

Working with Laura was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Her knowledge of the market and willingness to stay the course even when things became difficult managed to get us to closing during a difficult market, and unique situation. As a military family, she understood our unique needs - and also handled everything needed in the local area for us as we were located multiple states away. We felt at ease knowing she was there to help in all ways that we were unable to. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and always available to answer my questions. Their expertise in pricing, marketing, and negotiations helped my apartment sell. What stood out most was their genuine dedication and commitment. They truly cared about achieving the best possible outcome for me and went above and beyond to make sure everything stayed on track through closing. I highly recommend Laura to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. If you're looking for someone who is trustworthy, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with, you won't be disappointed.

We could not have been more pleased with Lyssa Seward and her team throughout our home-buying experience. Lyssa was exceptionally attentive, proactive, responsive, and thorough from the beginning of our search through closing. Her attention to detail truly stood out. She consistently stayed one step ahead, anticipated potential issues, kept us informed, and made sure nothing fell through the cracks. She was also remarkably accessible whenever we had questions or needed guidance. Lyssas professionalism, knowledge of the Northern Virginia market, and genuine commitment to looking out for our best interests gave us tremendous confidence throughout the process. Linda and I are extremely grateful to Lyssa and her entire team and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone buying or selling a home in Northern Virginia.
