Seller Review
From our first contact with Chris and Shris, we could tell that they were not only nice, friendly people, but they were personally involved in the community. They're also exceptionally knowledgeable about the market, and especially the market in my neighborhood. I have bought and sold numerous homes, and their comprehensive marketing strategy exceeds that of any realtor I have ever worked with by miles! Chris personally canvassed the area to put out the word about our open house, and created the most professional marketing package I've seen in the industry. Together they were a tireless team, and my house had multiple full-price offers within 2-3 days of hitting the market! If I were to list another home in Northern VA, whether buying or selling, I wouldn't even consider partnering with anyone else! When friends or family decide to list a house to sell, or look for one to buy, the Dudleys will be who I recommend they use for realtor needs without hesitation.

Buyer Review
We recently bought a new home, and with all the boxes finally unpacked I wanted to take a few moments to tell you just what a wonderful experience we had with the purchase of our home. If you are in the market to buy of sell your house, or even if you are just curious, please consider giving Chris Dudley at The Dudley Real Estate Group a call. Attentive, responsive and with great attention to detail, Chris will see to your every need and will instill a sense of confidence in the home-buying process. They are incredibly knowledgeable and have at their disposal a great network of lenders, insurance agents and inspectors and together they will treat you with special care and attention and make you feel as though you are their only client. According to those in the know, Chris writes the most beautiful contract, crafted with meticulous care, making it very difficult for the seller to ignore. I cannot recommend Chris at The Dudley Real Estate Group highly enough. Give Chris a call.
