Over the past 4 years, we have sold two houses and rented out two while working with Caroline Heinen. She is practical, professional, and responsive. She knows the DC and Maryland real estate market extremely well. She is honest and has your best interests at heart. My husband and I strongly recommend her!
My wife and I have had a good deal of experience in working with over 12 different real estate agents over the past ten years as we have renovated historical properties and then put them on the market. Of all of those agents, Michael Heinen and the team were absolutely at the top of our list. They were creative, superb in terms of communication, and readily responsive to any suggestions we made along the way. Our last property to be sold was an 1898 chapel/residence with thirty-foot ceilings and a large stage in the living room. While many have expressed their appreciation for its unique beauty over the years, it was indeed very buyer-specific.

Of all of those agents, Michael Heinen and the team were absolutely at the top of our list. They were creative, superb in terms of communication, and readily responsive to any suggestions we made along the way. Our last property to be sold was an 1898 chapel/residence with thirty-foot ceilings and a large stage in the living room. While many have expressed their appreciation for its unique beauty over the years, it was indeed very buyer-specific. (Not everyone wants 30 ft. ceilings and a large stage in their living room.) Michael created a fine brochure informing about the historic setting of the chapel and the neighborhood along with very fine pictures from many different angles. He also followed up on ALL suggested contacts we thought might be interested in its purchase, ranging from institutions to specific professional musicians who would appreciate its fine acoustics. When it became clear that another approach was needed he suggested that we have it staged in a contemporary fashion. Not only did he personally undertake the moving of all antiques and securing some quite heavy rugs, but he also split the cost with us of the staging along with the creation of new pictures. At all points, he kept us aware of all of the efforts being made to sell the chapel ranging from calls and appointments made to holding numerous open houses. There was follow-up with every person who expressed an interest. At the end of the day, we received a solid offer and while the purchasers did have a realtor, they quickly figured out that Michael was the one who could "make things happen" and the whole purchase process and move-out was done within a few weeks. We are indeed grateful to him and would recommend his services very highly without any reservations.
White glove service all the way. Reliable communication and responsiveness. Especially appreciated their diligence, patience, and willingness to take initiative throughout the buying process without any pressure tactics. Highly recommend!

Caroline was always assessable, very easy to work with (enjoyable in fact,) and answered all questions with market context, and detailed research. During the virus uncertainty and housing market swings, she investigated and leveraged multiple opportunities developing a good level of property interest both foot and virtual. She has access to and consults with multiple realtors, contractors, property managers, and building engineers enabling her to manage projects quickly, and cost-effectively, with an eye for style trends. She knows extremely well the greater DC housing market as a longtime resident and professional. Caroline has a great ability to anticipate opportunities and manage around barriers. She knows well the contract side of a purchase and sale and keeps clients ahead of obligations. Property purchase and sale can be a very trying experience but not in my case, as I gained much confidence and trust working with Caroline, and was totally satisfied with the outcome.
I have over 30 years of experience in the residential real estate industry and have met countless Realtors in that time. Caroline is one of the best in her field. Professional in every sense, she blends that with a comfortable command of the topic and an easygoing nature with people. I commend her work with me on a recent transaction and highly recommend her services.
Michael was a great agent to work with. We met him at an open house he was hosting and felt that he was friendly and very knowledgeable about the local market. He was very responsive and professional and gave us a lot of great advice while navigating a new housing market. Not only did we get the expertise of Michael but he also worked closely with Graciela and Caroline which gave us the edge of using three agents to bounce thoughts off of. I would absolutely recommend working with Michael to anyone looking to purchase a home in the Maryland or DC area.
