What can I say - Cindy and Craig are truly the Dynamic Duo! They perfectly balance each other with combined decades of real estate and property management experience. In an internet era when some might think real estate agents don't provide as much value as they used to, Craig and Cindy proved the opposite to be true! And we're so happy we trusted them with one of the most important financial decision of our lives! Like many others during the COVID era, we decided it was time to upgrade. But that meant buying in an insane market. Every morning, we would keep an eye on listings, and text Cindy as early as 7am to schedule an appointment before that day's slots were filled. She responded instantly, and we saw many hot homes literally hours after they were listed (and shortly before they were snatched up!). Meanwhile, Craig gave us invaluable advice on the build quality of various listings, and whether many inflated prices were really worth it. They quickly understood what we were looking for, and what it would take for us to win bidding wars without overpaying. And when it came time, even with us scanning the listings daily, it was THEM (not us) who found our dream home. We can literally say we wouldn't be living in it if it hadn't been for Cindy and Craig. When it came time to sell, they were again the perfect team and we trusted their judgment completely. Thank goodness we did. Both were voices of reason for what needed to be fixed to get us the best value back. They had the connections with excellent contractors, who gave us fair prices and did great work. They were there to meet deliveries (we had already moved out), and verify the quality of services performed. But not only that - Craig PERSONALLY power-washed our brick walkway and patio and repaired a damaged doorway, while Cindy planted new bushes in the backyard. I mean, WHOSE AGENTS DO THAT?!?! Buying and selling a house can be an emotional roller coaster. But we were so happy to have Cindy and Craig in our corner. In a span of only three months, they were practically members of the family! Please do not miss out by choosing another agent team. We couldn't have been happier, and wish everyone the Cindy and Craig experience!

Cindy and Craig are a phenomenal real estate team! Cindy sold us our old home almost 10 years ago where we happily made memories building a new family. We were so impressed by her advocacy for her clients that we knew we wanted to hire her when we were looking for more space for a growing family. Cindy and Craig helped us find the home of our dreams in the perfect location and sold our old home quickly and efficiently. We were extremely impressed by their expert knowledge, dedication and advocacy for their clients. It was so incredible how Cindy and Craig went above and beyond the call of duty. They were with us every step of the way from both the buying and selling end, and we felt we were in the best hands and couldn't be happier. We HIGHLY recommend them and cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service they give to their clients. We are lucky enough after all of the ups and downs of the market to be in a wonderful home and even luckier that we can call Cindy and Craig friends. There is no doubt, if you work with them, you'll be in great hands.

Helping us Buy Our First Home was a 5 Star Experience! Clemmer & Schuck were extremely thorough, highly responsive and spent a lot of time discussing/explaining issues from start to finish. We received A+ Service. The Real Estate Market has been incredibly intense over the past few months, and our agents showed us over 30 homes before we found the right one. They gave us candid assessments of each home we saw and did very well at focusing the search on homes that would be of interest to us as we developed our preferences throughout the process. The Service from McEnearney was reflected well in the great service we received from our agents.

I have only words of praise for the Clemmer & Schuck team. Cindy helped me buy my adorable Del Ray bungalow around 2007 , and when I was getting ready to get married, she helped me sell the house with significant profit in 2013. Finally, when my husband suddenly passed away, she and Craig Shuck helped me sell my husbands Arlington townhouse in early 2020, in 3 days for $13,000 over the asking price, right when the Covid 19 pandemic was hitting and everything was closing down. To say Cindy and Craig go the extra mile isn’t adequate. They literally came over and cleaned up parts of the house when I couldn’t be there (did I mention I was trying to manage selling the Arlington, VA house from Dallas, TX!), and Craig met the roofers for me in my absence. From their years in the business, they also have an invaluable rolodex of amazing workers — from painters, roofers, deep cleaning companies to screen door repair people (who can fix it the day before open house!). Cindy and Craig are extremely knowledgeable about the market, and honest about pricing options. They work with you on that aspect based on how much you are willing (or able) to put into your property to get it on the market. And, they give great advice when it comes to contract time. I can’t speak highly enough of the Clemmer & Schuck team and the FULL service they give their clients. I will only use them to buy and sell in Northern Virginia!

Cindy and Craig are consummate professionals with unmatched experience of the real estate business, the local market, and construction. They helped us buy our first home, and having never been through the process before, we were grateful for their knowledge, thorough explanation of everything, and responsiveness--which is always important, but even more so in a market as competitive as the DC area. They were the first call we made when we decided to sell our home recently, and they helped make the process as smooth as possible for us--even during a pandemic, and with a new baby. At the end of the day, Cindy and Craig are not just our realtors, but have also become our friends. Our only regret is that we are moving across the country so couldn't use them to buy our new home. But we will always wholeheartedly recommend them to our friends in the DC area who are buying or selling. In this area, you need a realtor you can count on and trust, and who is really on the ball and can move quickly. Cindy and Craig are all of that and more and our successful experiences buying and selling are proof of that. Thank you both for always helping us get where we need to go and with the best result!

Cindy and Craig have been amazing through the process of not only renting but also the journey of being first time homeowners. We couldn't be happier with the support, patience and attention, especially during these challenging pandemic times. We were able to get the home we fell in love with despite the crazy competitive market and it was thanks to their responsiveness!

Cindy and Craig are outstanding realtors! Their vast experience in the process of selling homes was invaluable to us. The wealth of their knowledge made our experience extraordinary! The advice they provided in preparing our home prior to the sale was spot on! Their personal attention to our many questions and concerns was very much appreciated. In addition, they made themselves available to provide access for repairs to our home. They communicated with us frequently and kept us informed throughout the entire process. We highly recommend Cindy and Craig as your realtors if you are considering selling your home!

Cindy has had a positive impact in my life on two occasions. In 2004 she helped my nephew find a home near Fort Belvoir that I shared with him until early this year and in January 2006, she found the home that I now own and share with my fiance and her three children. Simply put, you could not wish to find a better and more proactive Realtor than Cindy and on a personal level, you could not ask for a better friend in the DC area. She is a patient and caring individual that took the time to get to know me and my desires as well as took the time over a greater than 3 month period to help me find the perfect home to meet my extensive requirements. I can personally attest that Cindy will work exhaustively with you to find the right home, in the right area, and at the right price to keep you happy for years to come. SHE IS A WINNER!!!! Very respectfully,

Hey Cindy - I just wanted to write to say what a great pleasure it was working with you. "General Contractor Clemmer" doesn't even begin to describe how easy you made the process of getting our home ready for sale. We wanted to do several upgrades to the townhouse before selling it, and you did it all, from getting us quotes, to arranging workmen's schedules, etc. All we had to do was choose colors of paint & carpet, and choose one of the contractors you recommended, then of course, to reimburse you for your out of pocket costs. We did not have to lift a finger in order to get our house in the best shape possible. You could not have made it easier for us!!! And I couldn't imagine anyone being more on top of things!!! You kept us informed every step of the way and then some, just enough to be well-informed, but not burdened by details. Thanks again for make the sales process so painless and giving us your great advice along the way. We'll refer you to all our family and friends in the area. Townes of Hillwood - Alexandria

Cindy, Francisco and I would like to thank you for your superb work in selling our condo in Marina Towers. Living in Indiana made it difficult for us to handled the Virginia property as a rental. Once we made the decision to sell, you helped us tremendously by getting the unit updated & ready to put on the market. You didn't just sign a listing agreement to sell the property, you took on the added responsibility of finding us the right contractors and service providers, worked with suppliers to select tile, granite counter tops, kitchen appliances, refinish parquet floors, install carpet and much more...always keeping in constant contact every step of the way with information, prices and pictures. Once all selections were made, you worked closely with contractors and the building to ensure the work got done quickly and correctly. And last but not least you staged the unit with your own accessories & furniture in order to give the condo a "personal" touch. We are relieved to be "ex-landlords" and could not have done it without you! Again Francisco and I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts and we feel we have a friend for life. Most Sincerely,
- Helen Thomas McIntosh!

Cindy helped me and my husband prepare our home of 20+ years for market. She helped us find an appartment to live in during our transition time by supporting us both with guidence and emotional support I much needed. When we were ready to purchace our new home she listened to our needs for one floor living, easy access to public transition, and staying close to our support system of friends and Church.Cindy listened to our financial limits and was able to guide us in finding the right new home for us to 'age in place'. We are grateful for all she did for us.

Cindy has now helped us buy and sell two homes. She was with us through our first home purchase and never tired of answering our most basic and novice questions. Over the years of working with her she has long since become a friend as well as our agent. She was most helpful in walking us through the offers and contractual processes that neither my husband or I had experience with. By the time we sold our next house and bought another one we worked together seamlessly!

From beginning to end, Cindy provided us with professional yet personalized service. As we were buying from across the country, it was very helpful and comforting to have Cindy doing all that needed to be done, including reminding us and informing us of every detail along the way. She also had so many local contacts, that any question or service we needed was attended to promptly and effectively. We LOVE CINDY!!!

Cindy is a wonderful person and a hard-working realtor who delivers solid results. She helped us sell our Del Ray bungalow expeditiously during a seasonal slow period. As an Alexandria resident, she knows the community well. She is also an ace with marketing -- online and in print and mailings. My husband and I were thrilled with her service, advocacy, good humor and diligence throughout.
