Ken Trotter delivered exceptional results that exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we signed the listing paperwork to getting under contract, the entire process took just 18 days – and what an incredible sprint it was! Ken's marketing strategy was comprehensive and aggressive in the best possible way. He organized 3 public open houses, coordinated a broker's open, and somehow managed to navigate around a federal holiday without missing a beat. The cherry on top was securing a feature in Washingtonian magazine, which really showcased the property beautifully. Ken's professionalism, market knowledge, and tireless work ethic made what could have been a stressful process feel seamless and exciting.

“Superb From Beginning to End”

I can't imagine a better buyer's agent. Ken was superb from beginning to end. He really listened to what we wanted and started by coming to our old home so that he could better understand our perspective. We had very specific criteria and Ken searched the entire metro DC area to help us narrow our search. Once we settled on Lake Barcroft, Ken's expertise really kicked in!! With his connections and local knowledge, he was able to find and get us into several houses that were not yet on the market! Since we wanted lakefront property, this was extremely important. He even introduced us to several residents of the neighborhood so that we could get a good feel for the community. We eventually purchased one of those not-on-the-market houses and couldn't be happier. Lastly, his expertise during the negotiation, inspection and closing process was superb. Even after we moved in, Ken continued to follow up to ensure that we settled into the local social scene and had great recommendations for yard service, housekeeping and more. We couldn't have been better served. - Baumgartner Family, Buyer

“Sound Guidance, Market Savvy”

“Real Estate Savvy, Smart, And Super Efficient”

Ken is real estate savvy, smart, and super-efficient. He hustles and is always on the ball. We sold our home in a sellers' market, but still, he did not "coast." He's data-driven and very professional. We highly recommend him.

- Flannary-Albertella Family, Seller

"Savvy, Fair, And Easy To Work With"

We set the bar high when we chose to work with Ken. He met the challenge and we couldn’t be more pleased. Ken is savvy, fair, and easy to work with. He offers a valuable perspective on the market and process that helps make difficult decisions easier. Because of COVID, we moved out of our home entirely and left it to Ken to stage the house. The staging was beautifully done and our home sold immediately at the full asking price. If you are considering selling and need an agent, save yourself time and energy, just call Ken. Ken earned our highest recommendation; he is a 5-star agent. - Patton-Pace Family, Seller

"Proactive, Responsive and Attentive"

Ken, a consummate professional, delivers high-quality, high-touch end-to-end home selling services. We were not living in the area and needed to sell our condo. His knowledge and research of the market, demographics of potential buyers, and expertise in all phases of the real estate sales process culminated in a full price offer 9 days after listing. Ken referred and coordinated the services of excellent contractors and stagers to make our condo ready. He personally extended himself in pursuit of finding a certified plumber who could meet our very tight deadlines. In addition to being very proactive, responsive and attentive, Ken is a delight to work with. We felt very cared for, confident and enjoyed a very positive, engaging and productive experience. We highly recommend Ken and will be working with him again to find our next home. - Ghosh Family, Sellers.

"Patient, Knowledgeable, Honest, Trustworthy"

Simply put, Ken is amazing. He is the most patient, knowledgeable, honest, trustworthy, responsive, etc service provider I've met in as long as I can remember! After buying my last condo in 2007, I had actually planned to avoid using a real estate agent again because I had such a poor experience. But after giving Ken a try, he renewed my faith that agents can be great and can do what's in their client's best interest. During my home search/buying process I always felt that Ken was on my side and that really meant a lot to me. He also showed me a bunch of places and I never felt rushed. And was very responsive to my often crazy questions. I could go on and on but I think the point of this review is clear --- hire Ken and you'll be very happy! - Lakritz Family, Buyer

"Maximized My Profits"

Ken is amazing; we worked together so well to make sure that we maximized my profits in selling my house.

Deering, Seller

"Knowledge of The Northern Virginia Real Estate Market"

Ken was amazing to work with and his knowledge of the northern Virginia real estate market is second to none! - Rojo Family, Buyer.

"Ken Went The Extra Mile in Advertising"

Our house was not an easy sell. It was one of the highest asking prices in our zip code zone for many years. We had our first offer within 3 weeks. Ken really did his marketing by holding a lecture at the house which highlighted the antique European wood carvings that were found throughout the house. Our house was a major article in our local newspaper, and we were featured in Real Estate publications. We feel Ken went the extra mile in advertising our house. I believe his tenacity and attention to detail are what sold the house. I recommend him at the highest level possible. - Fernandez Family, Seller

"Ken Has a Broad Understanding of the Communities"

Ken helped us find the home that we love. Being new to the area we were not sure where to begin. Ken was very helpful in finding the right home, in the right area, for the right price. He was always available to answer my questions when I called him and if not he would call as soon as possible. During our search, he was there seven days a week. Never missed an appointment. With our busy schedule and timeline, this was very convenient having him always available. Unlike other agents that only focus on one area, Ken has a broad understanding of the communities and this made it easy to find what we wanted. I would recommend Ken and use him as a future Realtor® again. - Montoya Family, Buyer

"He's Thoughtful and Meticulous"

We had a great experience selling our house with Ken. He's thoughtful and meticulous and really seems to understand what's necessary to help meet your selling goals (within reason, he's not a magician). Ken and his team are going to work to give you good advice and set up reasonable expectations, and take care of or coordinate all of those little things that go into selling a house. - Weisman Family, Seller.

"Great Support, Sound Advice!"

Ken was a professional and a pleasure to have worked with in selling my DC condo. Great support, sound advice! My condo had been a rental for the past 8 years, so we needed to take care of the paperwork re DC's TOPA. (Google it!) Ken was able to navigate through the paperwork effortlessly. Ken was also on top of everything that we needed to do to get the condo prepared for listing and for the open house. He had all contacts ready which made the process easier. The condo was so ready in fact - the photos were great btw - that we had an offer on hand the day after the listing went live! Of course, we accepted the offer! Thank you, Ken! - Bernardino Family, Seller

"Gave Excellent Advice"

Ken was an outstanding agent for selling our mother's house. He met with us several months in advance to help plan a timeline and schedule improvements. He reassured us that it was no trouble to sell the house even though none of us lived in the local area. After our mother moved out, he arranged for improvements and staging in a timely manner and the house sold within a weekend, only one month after she moved! Ken listened to our wishes and gave excellent advice regarding market conditions, pricing, and final negotiations. He was a pleasure to work with throughout the sales process and did a great job. We are very grateful! - Sundgren Family, Seller.

"Exactly What We Wanted and Needed"

Ken Trotter represented us in the sale of our home in Lake Barcroft and we couldn't be happier. His level of professionalism and expertise resulted in the quick sale and full price offer that we were hoping for. Ken also assisted us prepare for our out of state move by connecting us with all of the other professionals that we needed, such as movers, stagers, and downsizing help. This is the second time that we have listed with Ken and both experiences were exactly what we wanted and needed. We highly recommend him. - Pratte Family, Seller.

"Everything A Realtor Should Be!"

Ken is everything a Realtor should be! We were initially impressed with his staging and presentation of other homes in our area and appreciated his overall approach to selling a house. Ken was able to expertly assess the value of our home through all of the daily clutter we had accumulated and brought together a team that helped us to transform our home. His professional knowledge helped guide us in maximizing our home's appearance and ensured that every square foot contributed to its ultimate value. Beyond having good instincts, we believe Ken also applies a very precise methodology, and certainly some art, to his work. Hiring Ken was the best real estate decision we ever made! - Synder Family, Seller

"Dream Home Found in Just 2 Months—with a Newborn in Tow"

We loved working with Ken. We had a long wishlist, an unreasonable timeline, and a brand new baby. But Ken’s commitment, pulse on the market, understanding of what we were looking for, and (endless) patience provided so much calm and assurance. We didn’t start our search until after our baby was born and were in our dream house by the time he turned 2 months.

- Eisenberg & Korsos Family, Buyer

"Compassionate, Strategic Guidance in Selling My Father’s Home"

A trusted advisor referred me to Ken for assistance in selling my father's home, and I couldn't be more grateful. He came to our first meeting highly prepared; he had already taken time to familiarize himself with the neighborhood, and based on the information I had shared, he presented clearly-defined options outlining how we might approach the selling process. Once I was ready to move forward, Ken made a few key recommendations about property enhancements, staging. He project-managed the entire process, providing me timely updates throughout the process and simplified my decision-making process each step of the way. Each service provider that he recommended did an excellent job. When it came time to put the house on the market, Ken's strategy was spot-on - it was clear that he was in tune with both my goals and needs and the current status of the market. We received multiple strong offers over our asking price. In my line of work, our team talks often about the art and science of client service. Ken embodies both. I appreciate how he guided me through what was an emotionally overwhelming process of selling a parent's home, while also navigating the logistical challenge of me living across the country in a different time zone. He is strategic, thoughtful, detail-oriented, wise, and empathetic and has set the bar incredibly high for any other realtor I would work with in the future. I only wish that I could work with him where I live! - Siemer Family

"A Total Professional"

Ken is such a gem! A total professional and a pleasure to work with. - Ghosh Family, Buyer

“Always on Top of The Details”

Ken Trotter did an excellent job as our realtor. He was always on top of the details of the selling process from beginning to end, and he meticulously did a weekly status check with us by phone to assure that all details were being addressed. Everything seemed to go like clockwork because of Ken’s focus on every pre-marketing detail imaginable. When we decided to do some remodeling updates he was able to suggest several professionals for us to work with. A renovation contractor, flooring contractor and a stager all proved to be fastidious in the details of their work. No matter what type of service was needed, Ken knew someone who was able to do a good job expeditiously at a reasonable cost. Ken had several open house showings, and the house sold within a couple weeks due to the excellent and attentive work of Ken and his knowledgeable, reliable professional contacts.

Marvelous experience with Silvia, our Realtor®. Silvia answered every question and concern we had, she took her time to show us multiple houses before finding the right one. She was able to save us thousands in closing costs! We are very thankful for Silvia’s help, her devotion to her job made our experience flawless. We will definitely work with her in the future! Ortuno Family, Buyer

“A Home Seller’s Dream”

Ken is a Home Seller's dream. He helped us sell two homes (a rental and primary residence) within the last 6 months for top dollar, fetching multiple competitive offers. He is a marketing genius. He takes the time to get to know the property, its best features, its history, and its potential. He translates that information into the home's story and buyers cannot help but see themselves in the next chapter. He gives great advice about what upgrades are necessary, what will help sell, and what is fine to leave for the next owner. Ken is the consummate real estate professional. I would not recommend anyone else for a home sale in the Arlington/Falls Church and nearby areas. - Gamache Family, Seller

"Added Bottom Line Value"

Ken was a tremendous resource as we sold our house on Lake Barcroft. We have known Ken to be the premier real estate agent on the Lake ever since we bought the house in 2016. He really added bottom line value for our sale. Specifically, we had been thinking about selling for some time but made a very quick decision to do so just before the increase in rates took hold over the summer. Ken advised us ably to move quickly to put the home on the market. With Ken's support, we were able to get the home to market in an amazingly short time (two weeks) and we were able to obtain three qualified offers within a week, two of which were well above asking. The sale moved quickly and smoothly because of Ken. In particular one of the two high bidders offers proved unexpectedly complicated. With Ken's deft handling, we were able to move to the next bidder without loosing a beat and obtaining an equally acceptable offer well above asking. In short we cannot say enough about Ken Trotter. He is a skilled real estate agent whose background as an attorney proved most helpful to. Our family cannot speak more highly of Ken. We highly recommend him! - Wicks Family, Sellers

"Sold Quickly and Above Asking!"

Our house sold quickly and above asking! The whole process was easy and took our needs into consideration. - Moreland Family, Seller.
