What Our Clients are Saying

I can’t possibly recommend Seth and his team more highly. Everyone in his group made the sale of my condo super easy, very efficient and incredibly quick. I’ve been living in London for 12 years and have been managing a condo in DC that whole time. I’ve been on the fence about selling it because of the distance and all the hassle I would have to deal with. I honestly don’t know what I was worried about. Seth took care of everything. He found me a contractor to touch up the condo to make it sale ready, he put me in touch with a stager that made the place look stunning … it was a breeze. Throughout the process, Seth was incredibly professional, super dedicated and went above and beyond. He was very responsive and was quick to resolve anything that came up. Even when the offers came in, he and his team created a summary of all the different offers in one excel sheet that made it super easy to understand and compare them against each other. And all of this in the middle of a global pandemic and was done without me flying to DC!! And I got an incredible price on my condo. THANK YOU Seth and the team for helping me through this process, getting me an incredible price and all of it without me having to travel to DC!!! You guys are amazing.

Dear DC Market Sellers or Buyers – I can’t imagine a better agent and support team than Seth Turner offers. He was recommended by a friend for selling my condo, and he did not disappoint on any front. In fact he gave me insights and timely emails that made me confident about his services and end goal of selling my condo. In the end, with his strategic advice, I got the selling price I wanted. His team, including Betty Cole, were incredible every step of the way, especially given I was living in Pakistan at the time of sale. They were great through the end with all preparations required in providing detailed steps and guidance to make it a smooth transaction. Hope to work with them again in the future and highly recommend Seth Turn to anyone buy or sell, or just good ole market advice 🙂 – Thanks again Seth and team!

Seth has been my realtor to purchase two homes in DC and recently he helped me sell one of the homes. Simply put, Seth is incredible to work – he’s incredibly responsive, knows the market inside and out and truly has the best interests of his clients in mind. Back in 2015 we were close to buying a home and Seth recommended we passed on it given some of the history with the home as he thought there would be issues down the road with the home – he could have stayed quiet and collected his commission but he did what was best for us the buyers. Recently with COVID-19, we were able to sell our home in DC completely remotely while living in Ohio. Seth managed the entire process for us on the ground in DC and everything went incredibly smoothly, including the sale going significantly over our asking price given Seth’s market and negotiation skills. I have recommended Seth to all our friends in DC and they have had the same great experience with him, I’ve used other realtors in Ohio and they do not compare, he’s the best.

Seth recently represented us in the sale of our home on Capitol Hill and there are so many good things we can say about him. We have been represented by Seth and his team in a number of transactions, and he has also assisted family members and friends realize their dreams as well. Seth possesses extensive knowledge of the DC market and truly understands how best to guide his clients to achieve their goals. Seth and his team have assisted us in both purchasing and selling property and his skills are unparalleled on either side of a transaction. His team is group of consummate professionals singularly focused on providing a positive experience. They are masters of marketing and nurturing relationships that benefit all that have the pleasure of working with them. We would be remiss if we did not also mention Betsy, the Director of Operations for his group. She is on point in assuring the client experience is smooth and seamless. We have conducted numerous real estate transactions over the years and believe us when we are willing to say that their team is the best it gets! You need people like the Seth Turner Group representing you if you are looking to maximize the return on the sale of your home, or gain an edge when purchasing in this very competitive market.

Seth was a consummate professional throughout this process! Calm, knowledgeable, and always one step ahead of the game, he and his team led us through the process of selling our home with ease. While there were three other homes on the market in our development at the same time, Seth helped us to sell our unit within 72 hours of the listing. I cannot say enough positive things about him as an agent!

I’m not even sure where to begin…Seth is the seriously the best, not only realtor, but also – advisor, expert, “listener” and much more. We had the pleasure of working with Seth in 2015 as we were looking to purchase our first home — Seth found the perfect penthouse condo for us and secured a great deal for it as well. Fast forward 6 years later, he just sold the same unit for us. He listed it, and had it closed (check in our hands) in just 26 days!!! Not only that, but had multiple offers and over ask too! We are so grateful for the quick work he and his team did for this property and Betsey his dir. of operations really keep the train moving and was there to make sure all parties were moving on time. Not only did he help us buy our first home and sell the condo (our 3rd), he has been a great sounding board, advocate and expert in real estate not just in the DC area but throughout our relationship as we have moved to the NY & NJ area too. We couldn’t recommend him enough and I’m happy to chat with anyone about my experiences with Seth and the Seth Turner Group — all of his team are really top notch.

If you are looking for someone with savvy, professionalism, knowledge of the area — Seth is your Agent. We chose to work with Seth after he sold the unit below our condo the year prior. We had a multitude of real estate agents solicit their services to us as we prepared to sell our U Street place. We chose Seth because in addition to his exceptional customer service, he provided a logical, fact based and objective analysis of the area. These skill sets proved exceptionally valuable as his meticulous attention to detail helped us navigate through the selling process.

We cannot say enough good things about our home-buying experience with Seth Turner. From the initial meetings (via Zoom due to Covid) it was clear that we had found someone truly knowledgeable about the area/market and passionate about finding his clients the right home and fit. Seth and his wonderful team (Jeremy Aldridge and Betsy O’Keefe) are always responsive, always listening and worked hard to meet our sometimes difficult schedule. This was critical in the fast, competitive market we were faced with for this purchase. We really appreciated Seth’s candor and honesty throughout the process. He asked questions to make us think and consider all angles so we were confident in our eventual purchase. As we were moving to the area from out of state, we relied on his recommendations for other professionals throughout the process, including the lender we selected which further demonstrates his strong local connections with other quality people/companies. We give Seth our strongest recommendation for anyone considering a home purchase in the Washington DC area.

I was a first time homebuyer and Seth and his team were a dream to work with! I was so impressed by their communication, professionalism and incredible patience as we journeyed through this process together. My calls and emails were answered so quickly and the buying process went smoother than expected, especially since I was working with the DC HPAP program and I credit that to their hard work. I couldn’t have asked for a more kind, dedicated and organized team. It truly was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend Seth, Jeremy and Betsy to anyone looking to buy a home in DC!

Choosing Seth Turner as our realtor was critical to our ultimately very successful house-hunt.  We chose Seth after interviewing with several other area realtors and can’t recommend him highly enough. His market insight, professional judgment, and personality are all beyond superlative.
Seth took the time to listen to our wants, evaluate our means, and help frame our expectations for buying our first home. As we navigated an extremely tight Capitol Hill housing market—where inventories stood at a 7-year low, rationally priced properties moved within days of listing and overpriced ones languished for months—Seth was instrumental in helping us stay level-headed.
He counseled patience when the owner of the first house we fell in love with and made an offer on was unwilling to budge on an unrealistic list price. He helped us stay enthusiastic when we saw a string of lackluster properties. And ultimately, he helped us snatch up a stunning house on Lincoln Park within four days of listing, during an intense bidding war that erupted before the open house even occurred. If it hadn’t been for his guidance on selecting a lender, pricing our bid and escalator clause, and negotiating other terms of the offer, I’m certain we would not have gotten the house.
His knowledge and guidance throughout the inspection and closing processes was similarly indispensable. Everything from signing the offer through getting the keys in our hands went smoothly, with Seth anticipating and resolving issues before we were ever aware of them.
In short, we will be recommending Seth and the rest of his team to all of our friends and family in the future.

Seth was great! Even when I had unexpected deadlines, Seth was always ready to help and take care of what I needed. He got things down quickly and effectively. He understood what I was looking for and was able to find a great opportunity that I likely wouldn’t have found on my own. He clearly has a good working relationship with other realtors in DC, which makes it easier for him to negotiate and get deals done. He’s very professional and easy to work with. I highly recommend him.

We are so happy we worked with Seth! Seth helped us buy a home in DC while we were moving from Boston during the pandemic, and he and his team made the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. He helped us negotiate with difficult sellers so we could end up in the home that we really wanted. When we were interested in another property that had a questionable investment value, Seth gave us excellent advice and we ruled it out. All of Seth’s recommendations for a lender, inspector, and title company were fantastic as well. He is delightful to work with and is well-regarded in DC real estate circles.

We loved working with Seth to buy our first home in Alexandria, VA. He was very knowledgeable and despite us being new to the process, we felt confident throughout with him by our side. Seth is very personable and so easy to get along with – we are thrilled to have found our home, but certainly miss working with him. He was very responsive to our requests to see homes in the area and he understands how quickly things move in this market. With Seth, we were confident that we bought our home for the best possible price and his negotiation strategies helped us immensely in such a competitive market. Seth is supported by equally wonderful colleagues who made the contract process very simple. I can honestly say that the whole process was fun and headache-free. We would gladly work with Seth again in the future and would recommend him without hesitation!

There is no better real estate agent in the region… and I would say likely the US. I have worked with Seth on multiple transactions over the last 8 years. A house purchase, a house sale, and multiple rental listings. His guidance and honesty have said me a lot of $ and heartache. We cannot recommend him highly enough (seems we are not the only ones as he is consistently voted one of the best realtors in DC).

Seth Turner is pure magic. In addition to understanding the market and giving sound advice whether you are considering purchasing or selling property, he is a joy to work with. We’ve had the privilege of working with Seth and his colleagues for years and have never been anything but impressed and thankful for his work and results. If you are looking for an agent to work with who is smart, hard-working, kind, generous, and experienced, look no further than Seth Turner.

Seth and his team were fantastic. They helped us with both the selling of our condo, and the purchase of our new home. It was clear from the first time he came by for a consult, to closing day on our condo, that he and his team were prompt and thorough. This was my first time selling a home, and Seth was extremely thoughtful and patient in guiding me through the process. On the execution side, he brought in a great team which included a professional staging company and photographer who both did an excellent job showcasing our place. I have no doubt that Seth’s engaging personality also helped move our property to the top of the list as well! When it came to finding a new home, Seth had great instincts on the market and what makes a good investment. He never pushed but guided us through the complicated thought process that can overwhelm any home buyer in the DC market. In the end he was able to negotiate an off-market deal that was perfect for us. Whether you are buying or selling, I enthusiastically recommend Seth and his team. Or, if you are really lucky, to have them for both!

If we could give more than 5 stars, we would. Seth is fantastic. We’ve used him twice: to buy our condo, and then sell it 3 years later. Seth just has that intangible ability to work with other agents, buyers, lenders, condo associations, etc. to get what you need as his client. But he’s not all talk…what impressed us most is his complete and total knowledge of every aspect of the real estate business. And if he doesn’t know the answer to something (which is rare), he gets it for you (I’ve annoyed him with questions about Fannie Mae mortgage approval guidelines on owner occupancy ratios). Seth is impeccably organized and you never have to ask him anything twice or remind him of something you told him before. He just doesn’t miss any details. I’m really not trying to exaggerate, either. Here’s an example: he has the forethought for his buyers to do things like write into his contracts for the seller to provide a copy of their Title Insurance policy so you can get a re-issue rate and save $500 or more. That’s just one of many examples of things that other agents don’t even think to do. On top of everything, Seth is unbelievably generous and thoughtful. We’ve received “anniversary” cards for the date we bought the condo, and he even sent us Valentine’s Day chocolates…he does all those little things to show how much he really values you as a client. This all just demonstrates the extra level of commitment and friendship he establishes with his clients, and it just makes sense that this degree of attention to detail and professionalism will translate into the best outcome that you, as Seth’s client, can possibly get.

My husband and I first met Seth almost 8 years ago at an Open House and since then he has helped us buy/sell a condo in Shaw, and most recently, buy a home in Brookland. We have referred him to numerous friends and family in the Washington, DC area and all have had nothing but wonderful things to say about him! Seth is extremely helpful, honest, thoughtful, and responsive. He gets to know the clients he is working with and he never tried to steer us into something that wasn’t ‘us,’ while still managing to open our eyes to new neighborhoods and options we might not have previously considered. All while being very patient; it took us nearly a year to find our first place and six months for the second. Once we decided, Seth was extremely helpful and knowledgeable on both ends of the process – both buying and selling. Ultimately, we were able to sell our condo off market (for more than we anticipated), and buy a place for much less than it was listed for after a smart negotiation process. We really trusted him to watch out for us and he delivered. Seth is a fantastic realtor and and I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Seth was exceptional assisting in all aspects of the sale of my home. I lived overseas at the time of the sale so I put a lot of time into researching the agent to sell my home. What stood out to me is that Seth’s properties sold fast and often above the Zillow estimate. He puts a lot of effort into the analytics of home sales. Seth was incredibly knowledgeable and patient in talking me through the entire process, especially the legal concerns as they related to the sale. As a first time seller, he made the process easy and had a checklist for each step. He put a lot of time into making sure the property looked as good as possible, helping me find the right staging company for the right price. It all paid off, as the property was only on the market for 3 days before we had multiple offers above the asking price. After we received a formal offer, his team guided me through the rest of the process, ensuring that it went as smoothly as possible. If you want to sell your home quickly for the best price, Seth and his team are the way to go.

I was given a referral for Seth. So glad that I was. Seth and his team made the recent sale of my father’s apartment easy. I accomplished the sale remotely by phone and computer. Seth engineered a remodel of the apartment and the funds were pulled from closing. I lifted a finger only to approve and sign documents. The facelift was amazing. In a highly competitive market, it was under contract within the week. Seth and his team were very helpful and service oriented, I could not be more pleased with the process and the results.
