Testimonials

Dean and Colleen Bingham (Recently closed on large building lot in Vienna, VA)

Gregg was a true professional, providing excellent advice all the way through closure. We were very delighted Gregg was recommended to us and we would highly recommend him on the search for your home or land to build your home. My wife and I originally thought we wanted to live further from DC, but after living in the area for a short while, determined we wanted to be closer to the City and its amenities. Gregg was instrumental in removing us from the purchase of a lot we didn’t want to proceed with and helped us to find and procure a beautiful 2 acre wooded lot in a great subdivision in Vienna.

-Dr. K Family (closed on commercial/professional dental office; Ashburn, VA)

I was in need of an agent for a commercial condo purchase I need to make with a very short notice and Gregg came highly recommended from another real estate agent. From the first time Gregg and I talked until closing, he made me feel like I was the most important client. Gregg was my strongest advocate when a few issues came up with the lender and put my mind at ease when I was nervous that the deal may fall through. If you are looking for a true gentleman to represent you in your real estate endeavour, look no further. Gregg will take great care of you and most importantly make your real estate dream a reality.

-Lunsford Family (closed on single family home; Fairfax, VA)

"All I can say is WOW! Gregg was an awesome agent. We utilized Gregg as an out of state military buyer to assist with our relocation to Fairfax. He helped us find a great home, coord everything with the seller, coord everything with the title company, provided valuable wisdom and advice on current market conditions/comps, and got our deal closed on time without issue. He also provided us with a video walk-through of the home since we couldn't be there to do it ourselves. All of Gregg's recommendations were on point. Don't even hesitate, Gregg is the professional and seasoned agent you need for your next real estate deal. 

-Tonie Wallace, CEO (VA, $13MM+ commercial and land sale)

Gregg has been absolutely exceptional in the areas of marketing. His vision to use the latest technology for the photography, websites, aerial video, brochures, presentations, and press releases; his constant communication with me regarding updates; showings, and I must mention his constant and consistent follow-up. Gregg’s ability to retool with changes in selling strategies and creativity afforded me the luxury of not having to chase him down or work to keep him focused. Gregg is tenacious and his gentle negotiation skills with potential purchasers has lead to the current sale.

With all this said, the most important are the trust and respect I have gained working with Gregg. He’ a true gentleman in every sense of the word and I highly recommend him for all real estate dealings regardless of how unique or complicated they may be.

-Cognetta Family (closed farm; Prince William, VA)

Thanks for all your diligence in arranging for the sale of my 11 acre farm. Going in I expected months of effort and lots of give and take with opportunistic bargain hunters. We needed a very fast sale at a certain price in order to apply the funds via a section 1031 exchange to a like    kind replacement property out of state that was going fast. You were intimately aware of the tax saving 1031 exchange rules and made sure the contract for sale had the appropriate 1031 language. You wrote a perfect listing description.

You skillfully handled interested neighbors negotiating with me and gave me good advice on how to avoid conflicts with competing neighboring parties interested in their own benefit at my expense. You did tons of comps and analysis better than any appraisal I've seen to demonstrate an accurate starting price for the listing.

Your work proved itself in practice because your contacts resulted in two cash offers and you skillfully negotiated a 100 % asking price cash offer within 24 hours of the listing going public. That very quick work resulted in our ability to lock down a contract the next day on the replacement farm out of state which was under pressure from competing local farmers who wanted that land immediately. But for that very fast work on your part, we would have lost out on a beautiful replacement farm. So, thanks again Gregg for all you did !

-The DH Family (Residential resale)

"I would highly recommend Gregg Herpst for any real estate transactions. Gregg is a master of his craft and served my family and I incredibly well during what was an extremely trying short sell process. We dealt with many issues (none related to Gregg) during our endeavor and Gregg’s positive impact was unwavering throughout. He was always there, anticipated many hiccups brought on by others and always had a well-conceived plan in place. As a direct result of his diligence, my family and I received the outcome we deserved. His willingness to go above and beyond cannot be overstated.

Three characteristics that I think serve Gregg so well are his vast experience, industry knowledge and personable nature. In my opinion, what truly sets him apart is his willingness to advocate on behalf of his clients. He routinely bent over backwards to get us the result we sought. He’s a sincerely caring, very intelligent, diligent representative who got the job done for my family and I! We are incredibly grateful for his efforts and I can firmly state that he’ll be my realtor for life. Thank you Gregg!"

-Casey and Ryan (Secured long-term lease; Alexandria, Va) 

Gregg Herpst was our now-landlord’s realtor, and was absolutely wonderful during the entire process. He secured us a tour of the property right away, negotiated all the paperwork extremely quickly and painlessly, and answered every questions we peppered him with. We could not have asked for a better, more professional experience, and would recommend him to anyone. 

-Briana Ke (single family home purchase in Montgomery County, MD)

I feel lucky that my friend Maggie introduced Gregg to me as my agent. As a first-time homebuyer, I had very limited idea in terms of the home purchasing process. Gregg  patiently guided me every step of the way. In today's housing market where inventory is historically low and the market is unprecedentedly competitive, Gregg has utilized his experience to help me prepare offers that stood out from the others. His professional way of approaching the seller's agents has left a great impression. When it comes to negotiation, he was polite yet assertive and he made sure my interest was well protected and maximized. I am very happy with the house I've purchased and I see great future potential in it.

Gregg is very quick in response. He has also kindly shared his personal resources to help me navigate the remodeling of the house so I could dodge some bullets from lacking experience. I would recommend Gregg to any of my friends who would want to purchase houses.

-Ryan Kehling, President (Large commercial transaction in VA)

Gregg did a great job from start to finish. He made everything easy and fast, which is not always easy in commercial real estate. He worked with us since day one and was a strong advocate for us in negotiating a strong lease-back with the sellers. Anytime I reached out to Gregg he was there. That is important for me and my company. I would strongly recommend his services to anyone.

 -Franciso Arrubla (Commercial transaction in VA)

Just had a settlement on referral I gave to Gregg Herpst (land and commercial guru). I don’t do either. Within 48 hours of referral, he had located a commercial property, negotiated a contract (under list price) and settled in under 30 days. Clients loved him and PSR, and now I have all of their family residential business. Gregg is an expert in land and commercial and super-easy to work with. 

-Chris and Molly (3rd Residential transaction with clients, Frederick, MD) 

With very short notice, we were in need of an agent to list our town home for sale. Within days, we had professional video, stills, and websites  pro grade brochures. 

Throughout process, Gregg was in constant communication, providing almost daily updates regarding requested showings, open houses and relaying feedback received from prospective buyers. He was able to guide us as first-time sellers through what is typically a very stressful process and ease our minds with his consistently positive and confident attitude. After a short time on the market, we were able to accept a nearly full-priced offer which resulted in a successful sale. I would highly recommend Gregg and his brokerage, Pearson Smith Realty, to any future buyer or seller.

-Mark and Shannon (Residential resale purchase)

Gregg took care of everything we could have possibly asked for. He was always there for us whenever we needed him. Not to mention, Gregg sent us the most amazing gifts throughout our real estate transaction. At a stressful, yet exciting time, we were always surprised with unexpected gifts and heartfelt notes from Gregg to ease our homebuying worries. We are extremely grateful for all he did for us to make our first 

-The Meltzer Family (Residentail resale, Rockville,MD)

"If you are looking to buy or sell a house, Gregg is the way to go. He is knowledgeable, extremely experienced, and his strong negotiations skills make you glad he's on your side! My wife and I can be a bit emotional at times, particularly when it comes to such big financial decisions like purchasing a house, so we really benefited from Gregg's composure throughout the process.

The other big differentiation in our eyes was the fact that he took care of everything from A to Z. Once our contract was accepted I was ready to jump straight to settlement. I've learned that there are a ton of things that need to happen before closing, all of which Gregg was intimately aware and methodically worked through. We would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a true professional realtor!"

– Ooi Family

"Gregg helped us yet again, after just 18 months. We wanted to get out of Baltimore city and move to the suburbs to start our family, so Gregg helped us find our perfect new home in Columbia, MD. Our Baltimore house was listed and sold within just 3 days, and we walked away making a significant profit. The process on both ends, selling and buying, would not have gone so smoothly without this high level of professional real estate services".

 – Josue and Becka Jean (Land and residentail transaction) 

"My wife and I started a small company in order to purchase old homes and renovate them for resale. We spent tens of thousands of dollars on a “flipping houses” course. Though a lot of the classroom information was helpful, nothing came close to the learning experience of that we had after hiring Gregg Herpst from New Home Pros. Gregg negotiated our first purchase after providing us with timely and accurate market data. Gregg also helped us tremendously with renovation selections and budgeting. He then produced a great marketing program for the sale of our renovation and we had a contract within one week. We just purchased our next project through a public auction. Gregg negotiated with the selling agent and auctioneer and obtained an incredible purchase price. We will be closing on this shortly and continue to count on Gregg’s extensive market experience and knowledge. Anyone interested in “flipping” properties for a profit should reach out for Gregg Herpst, as he is a winner". 

- The Stitely Family

"When my husband and I began the search to find our home,we were very apprehensive due to a terrible experience we had a few years back when we initially tried to make our way down the road to home ownership.Gregg assured us that he would make this a positive and fun experience and he certainly did.The minute we began working with him,all of our concerns and fears went out the window. We knew we were in great hands.Gregg didn’t disappoint. Gregg was truly a joy to work with. He was attentive and was always available to answer any and all of our questions/concerns. He stood by us every step of the way, from the initially showing to the settlement table. He made sure that we were comfortable and confident in our decision and really made this such a great, memorable experience for two young, newlywed, first-time buyers. Thank you, Gregg, for finding us the perfect starter home!" 

-The Gregory Family 

"My husband and I have had such an amazing experience working with Gregg, with both the purchase of our new home in Bethesda (Montgomery County, MD) and the sale of our existing home in Silver Spring. Gregg’s intense and vast knowledge of negotiating, financing mortgages, home development, construction and renovations is unmatched. Gregg was totally available, and offered extremely valuable and clear advice along the way that has saved us money and given us piece of mind. We have been so thrilled and grateful to have him on our side throughout the process, and would not trust anyone else more in the process of home buying and selling… both of which have been some of the biggest and most important decisions and milestones of our lives. Thank you SO much, Gregg!!!" 

– The Brown Family (Land transaction) 

"When we first met Gregg Herpst he was extremely knowledgeable about what it would take to build our dream home. His advice and recommendations helped us navigate the through the initial process of home design. When the permitting process stalled with the County for over 7 months, Gregg’s efforts were key in resolving the issues, addressing misunderstandings, and ultimately in our receiving a building permit. My husband and I are grateful for all of the time and assistance he provided us. We would definitely recommend New Home Professionals LLC to others". 

– The Aziz Family

"I simply can't say enough about how positive my experience was with Gregg.Incredibly knowledgeable, patient, easy to talk to and genuinely interested in helping me find right home.Once we found the house, Gregg worked magic with helping prepare the offer to make it as compelling as possible.It worked too, we successfully beat out several competitors.Highly recommend Gregg. Others would be wise to contact Gregg. I promise that you won’t be disappointed". 

– The Carter Family (Land transaction) 

"The land for sales was exactly where we wanted to live, close to our children and amazingly within our budget too. I don’t think anyone could have done it better than you did and we truly mean this because we have worked with other realtor companies and were getting nothing achieved and were always outbid by others. We believe without hesitation that your access to unpublished real estate was the key factor in helping us achieve our goal". 

– Jaime and Yong (Land transaction) 

"We wrote this letter in recommendation Gregg Herpst’s New Home Pros in Great Falls service in helping us in realizing our dream of building a new home in McLean. Throughout the process of our new home construction, Mr. Herpst was a consummate professional. He gave us accurate guidance upon we committed to this tear-down & rebuild project, from finding the right lot on the market, winning the bid of the lot, to picking the right model and options of our new home. He was extremely instrumental of easing the process of contract negotiation and signing and pre-construction preparation. Gregg even provided a great hand in helping us overcoming a few obstacles during the construction phase so that we can move into our new home per planned. We are really grateful to have Gregg’s service for our new home building, and we’d love to recommend him highly and without reservation".

It was great working with him,  we would definitely recommend him to anyone considering a new build!" 

– Lloyd Ntuk, Licensed Land Engineer

"Gregg has always been noteworthy for his ability to manage multiple moving components in pulling a deal together that was advantageous to each owner’s situation. Also impressive was Gregg’s commitment to get a project successfully completed. He worked tirelessly over the phone, e-mail, and at project site locations to ensure each member of the team was fully engaged in advancing the project to the owner’s delight. His familiarity with the steps and participants in the land development process made it a pleasure to deal with him on a regular basis".
