Steve and Wendy Dean Carlozzi


“Wendy Dean is the best real estate agent we’ve ever known.  She has the pulse of market trends and buyer preferences.  We knew Wendy when she lived in Townes of Ballston(TOB) and that she’d successfully sold other TOB townhouses. When we decided it was time to sell our Townes of Ballston home, we turned to Wendy.  This proved to be one of the best financial decisions in our lives.  We met with Wendy and talked.  She listened to everything we felt and thought we knew.  And then Wendy carefully explained what we were overlooking and outlined a plan to gain the best return for our investment.  She’s a full-service, hands-on agent who focuses on exceeding seller goals.  With her sense of current styles, she knows just what to do to make a dwelling desirable.  And with her legal background, she is a master negotiator until contract signing.  Following Wendy’s advice, we put our house on the market at the right moment at the right price. She talked to us regularly throughout the process, which ended quickly with a closing above listing.  We are so grateful for her partnership.” Arlington, Virginia Buyer and Seller

“Power team! You can’t do better. Helped us buy our dream house, then sell our other house for top dollar. You can’t get better professional service. Wendy and Steve were with us every twist and turn, providing timely and expert advice.” Arlington, Virginia Buyer and Seller

“After living in Arlington for almost five years, we finally decided it was time to move on from our rental and purchase a home. Wendy and Steve were exactly the team we needed to successfully navigate the home buying process in the ultracompetitive north Arlington market. Their relationships with fellow realtors and negotiating expertise were evident, as they helped us find a lovely home and submit a successful offer after only 4 days of searching! While under contract, Wendy and Steve went above and beyond to ensure that we received the maximum value from our new home. Wendy negotiated repairs to the home and Steve routinely worked with the seller’s realtor and title company to ensure that our closing went smoothly on an incredibly short timeline. After the sale, Wendy and Steve have continued to follow up with us and have assisted us with finding vendors for home improvements and repairs. We can’t speak highly enough of the professional approach, commitment to customer service, and attention to detail that we’ve experienced with Cherry Blossom Realty. We HIGHLY recommend Wendy and Steve for any family searching for a home in DC area!” Arlington, Virginia Buyer

“Wendy assisted my family in the purchase of our home in North Arlington. We chose her because she is an attorney and the managing broker at Samson Properties Arlington .She was really fantastic! Wendy knows how to write a strong offer that can compete in the hyper-competitive market of North Arlington. During the contingency period, she knew exactly where we had leverage and room negotiate, and where we did not. In addition to her knowledge and negotiating skills, Wendy’s other competitive advantage over other brokers is the team that she offers to her clients. She introduced us to the right loan officer at the mortgage lender that offered the lowest rate for our jumbo loan, provided a quick, on-time closing, and who held our hand throughout the mortgage process. Wendy brought in the right home inspector who identified the “must-do’s” and “nice-to-do” items. Then, Wendy used that information to get the seller to take on some of the closing costs and save us money. During the contingency period, Wendy was totally on top of all communication with us, the seller’s agent, and the contractors performing needed work before closing. As a bonus, Wendy paid the first year’s premium on our home warranty out of her commission! Wendy let us know that we can come to her with any questions after closing. I honestly don’t think we would have gotten the perfect home for our family with another broker. Thank you, Wendy!” Triangle, Virginia Seller

“Wendy Dean is an exceptional realtor/broker. She overwhelmingly exceeded our expectations. If you are looking for the very best, you have to give her a call. She knows her craft and the market she serves. My wife and I chose her to sell our home and her persistence is totally unmatched. I have bought and sold several homes in my life and Wendy rose above all the rest. She is now our family realtor. You are treated as a family member not just a client. We really appreciate her professionalism, knowledge and marketing skills. Everything she does to get your home sold is done professionally. The pictures she posted on various websites are not cell phone pictures. Her pictures are done by a professional photographer. Our home sold in less than a week. I STONGLY Wendy next time you are ready to do any real estate transactions. You will not be disappointed.”

“This was our second time using Wendy as our agent, and once again we couldn’t been happier with the process and the outcome. Our home sale went off without a hitch, sold above asking price, and with favorable contingencies due to Wendy’s negotiating skills. The whole process was made easy due to Wendy’s professionalism and friendly attitude. I would highly recommend Wendy.” Arlington, Virginia Seller

“Wendy was a former neighbor, so we turned to her once we began considering a move. A few friends who had worked with her on sales of their own homes praised her work, so we were confident that she was as talented a real estate agent as she had been a great neighbor. She laid out our options and the pros and cons of selling — and selling then vs. later. After some serious thinking, we decided to sell our townhouse in the Ballston neighborhood of Arlington and asked Wendy to be our agent. She helped us find a top-notch contractor to make some needed repairs and some cosmetic changes, ran an effective open house, drew multiple bids without wasting our time, and worked smartly to get us an awesome deal that met our timeline and exceeded our expectations. In fact, the final price ended up being a record for our community, which impressed all our neighbors and made them almost as happy as it made us. If we had it to do all over again, we wouldn’t change a thing.” Arlington, Virginia Seller
