The Synergy Group Wisconsin Ave, Chevy Chase

The short version: Scott Sachs and the Synergy team are knowledgable, responsive, and the absolute best. You will not be disappointed! The long version: Scott Sachs is a freaking national treasure. I'm erecting a small monument to him in my gorgeous backyard in my new home. My wife and I first worked with Scott 8 years ago, when he got us into an under priced condo in upper NW DC. To be clear, it was a giant dump - but we saw Scott's vision for what it could be. He is a renovation swami. Lo and behold, 6 months and several contractors later it was a beautiful and affordable home, that ultimately almost doubled in value during our 7 years living there. As our family grew, we became ready to sell and partnered once again with Scott, who somehow managed to look younger and sharper than when we first met him. Scott generated a ridiculous amount of interest in our home. We were are Redfin "hot home" within like one hour of posting. The night before our big open house, I went home to straighten the artwork. Walked in, heard my fire alarms, smelled smoke, and discovered a small fire in our attic. Called 911 first, my wife second, and Scott third. The fire fighters came and addressed the fire by spraying my entire house with hundreds of gallons of water, which managed to destroy all the floors and walls. I called Scott dumbfounded and sobbing. He dropped what he was doing and was the first one on the scene after the fire fighters left, mopping up water with towels, getting on the phone with fire damage remediation companies, and literally giving my wife a shoulder to cry on. A short and somewhat painful 2 months later, the house was completely fixed and sold for above ask. Was it a miracle? No. It was Scott Freaking Sachs. He went so far above and beyond the call of duty and has remained by our side as we get settled into our new home. Consider yourself lucky if you sign with Scott and his team. We sure were.

Can't say enough good things about Daniel Schuler from Synergy Group. He helped us find our wonderful home. We had numerous stimulations, and in this tough market, he still managed to it. He was and still is very responsive to us and is very knowledgeable of what can and can't be done in a home. We are so happy to have found him and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an agent. We have also dealt with Scott his partner and both are extremely professional. You can't go wrong!

I knew Daniel from a few different friends who have used him through the house buying and selling process. I gave a pretty broad idea of what I was looking for within a location and he was able to run with it! He got me all set up and always made time to discuss options as well as seeing different properties. Was able to find a house fairly quickly and with Daniels help beat out three other offers without having to play back and forth just from the fact that he came so prepared with what it would take to get which was a big priority of mine. 30 days from acceptance to close and him and Kristin took care of everything and I never had one single issue. Plus his contacts for everything you need to get the house and update is unparalleled, from landscaping, insurance, carpentry, painting etc. Highly recommend Daniel and all of the Synergy Group!

Scott is an amazing realtor. I have had the pleasure of working with him as a buyer twice now and he goes above and beyond. In the first deal, he did a lot of work helping locate the right house and advising through the offer. In the second deal, there were issues post-close on which he worked just as deftly and diligently. Both properties were in DC -- one a house and one a condo, and he did an amazing job on both deals and continues to be a resource. I could not recommend him more highly.

I highly, highly recommend that you work with Scott Sachs as your agent if you are in the hunt for a new home. Scott is friendly and personable. He's professional and extremely knowledgeable about the DMV area; he's not pushy and is always honest, he'll look out for your best interest and is an excellent negotiator. Scott is patient and willing to put in the work needed for the house hunting journey which can be frustrating, long and difficult, especially in the DMV. During our interview with Scott, we mentioned that diversity was very important to us, and he was not only respectful of that but was familiar with the areas that met our requirements. No matter your background, Scott will be able to find you a home that meets your comfort level and the vision you have for you and your family. A quick example of how accommodating Scott is for his clients: When we finally settled on a new home, we wanted to purchase furniture ahead of time so that it would be delivered around the time we moved in but we didn't have any floor plans and couldn't get them from the county yet since we weren't officially the owners (closing wasn’t for another couple of weeks or so). We made an appointment with Scott to visit the home again so that we could record the measurements we needed. By time we got to the house, Scott was already there and actually taking the time to measure and draw out the floor plans all on his own, for us, by hand. We were surprised and very grateful. Go with this guy, you won’t regret it.

From start to finish, Daniel guided us through the process of selling and buying. He took our personal circumstances into account and made reasonable recommendations that led to a great outcome. Our home sale was more successful than we ever expected. Daniel made time for us, worked around our schedule, and we're very happy with all of the outcomes.

Scott Sachs is a cut above most real estate agents. He listened to my needs and goals, and he worked with me in a very professional manner to make it all happen. I highly recommend him to anyone considering a real estate transaction.

We think the world of Scott Sachs and his team at Compass Synergy Group. We set an ambitious plan to rent, move, and sell within two months, and we could not have made it happen without Scott's help. The house sold so well above asking that it set a new floor for the neighborhood. We're trusting Scott with the next leg of our real estate adventure and recommending his services to anyone who asks.

Scott is the consummate professional, his end-to-end knowledge of the uniquely sophisticated and fast paced housing market surrounding the D.C. area is present in every step of the process. I could talk at length about the recent sale of our home which was driven by Scott’s tenacity and work ethic. From the moment Scott first walked through our home to the moment the transaction closed, Scott was intimately involved. Scott guided us through updates and renovations, design choices and staging, contractor recommendations and fair market list pricing (which he drastically surpassed all expectations). At no time was a decision made where Scott was not consulted or involved, yet not once did Scott push his opinions on us. He simply laid out all options to help us make the most informed and financially beneficial decision we could. However, it’s Scott’s true intangibles that set him apart from his fellow peers and other professionals. Scott’s ability to blend his professional yet compassionate approach to the real estate process is unmatched. You will realize very quickly that not only are you gaining an unmatched asset but you will be gaining a life long friend.

Scott is a fantastic broker! He is a very skilled negotiator and great to work with. He asked thoughtful questions and always gave his honest opinion on a house, even if it meant the home search would take a bit longer. He is also a lot of fun to be with. We laughed a lot and it made the home buying experiment enjoyable!
