Dex and Ellen Payne, Vienna VA
Think Lou Sagatov for any of your most complex and out-of-the-box real estate situations. Our family was fortunate to secure Lou's services for purchase, sale, and full-fledged make-over of our single-family Colonial (Vienna) we had to rent out for over a dozen years while stationed overseas.
Lou secured our winning bid in an excruciating bidding war, served as a general contractor, project manager, and a visionary in renovating our home in a way that it spent less than 24 hours (!) on the market before going into a "Pending" status, and then pulled off the most streamlined closing process.
Lou -- thank you for being you!
