“My wife and I worked with Bridget Mendes from the Keri Shull team to purchase our first home, and we couldn't have been more pleased. Bridget was responsive, knowledgeable, and direct (which we greatly appreciated). We had very specific needs and a very small area that we were searching in, and  Bridget found us exactly what we were looking for. … Having lived and worked in the area for a long time, she educated us thoroughly in what to expect and what to look for in the Arlington market, and we came away incredibly prepared. When we found the house we ended up purchasing, Bridget's advice on an offer strategy was invaluable, and won us the house against long odds! Thanks for everything!” Read More ▾

“Bridget is by far the best real estate agent in the DC metro area! She is a hardworking, genuine and kind person and she made our home purchase a seamless and easy process. We were returning to the DC area from living several years overseas, and had to conduct the entire transaction across two continents, and a six-hour time zone difference. Even … while conducting negotiations and working with the lender and title company she was there with us every step of the way. Her authentic communication style was wonderful and it was so frequent, she made it seem as if we were stateside working in the same town. We hit bumps in the road early on with our lender and had issues with their process. She took the initiative to thoughtfully represent us, proactively addressing any concerns. Bridget is well experienced in the Northern Virginia area, she truly understands family values, she understands the importance of finding the right schools, and she seemingly knew every neighborhood we were interested in. Bridget works to understand what her clients’ needs are, and worked endlessly to support what we were looking for. For example, when we first started looking for homes on the internet, Bridget drove out ahead of time and studied each of the houses we were interested in. She matched our preferences, with the notes she took on each home, which made it easier for us to base our decision. As we looked at each house, we realized that Bridget knew what we were looking for. She is an agent who truly understands the needs of her clients. Bridget takes customer service to an entirely new level. Bridget has a natural ability to gain the trust of her clients, with the listing agent, the lender, the title company and with everyone around her. Her responsiveness, her careful attention to detail, her open and transparent communication and her positive attitude is contagious. This is what sets her apart from the rest. Bridget is second to none. She strives for excellence and is the best agent out there!” Read More ▾

“Ask for Bridget Mendes and you won't regret. As a first time buyer, I gained so much knowledge of the real estate business because Bridget is thoughtful and thorough in making sure I understood the DMV market, the options and expert feedback. I was out of the country during the final financing  process and also the closing, Bridget kept me … in the loop, called me several times to relay information about the close. She actually waited in the car for 2hrs for POA to be delivered by DHL at my friend's place. An agent should help not just to buy a house but to buy a home, to have a quality gainful experience in the process and I'm thankful for Bridget for that!” Read More ▾

“I had the pleasure of working with Bridget Mendes to purchase my first home this past month, and I had a wonderful experience! I was rather particular in the things I wanted in the house and the location I wanted to live in, and Bridget was patient, provided me a number of options to choose from, and took the time … to visit quite a few homes with me. Her knowledge and experience were instrumental in helping me analyze the advantages and disadvantages to each house and to navigating the process as a first time home buyer. When I finally found the perfect home, she not only ensured we made a competitive offer but also helped me think through potential renovations to add additional value to the home. I’m so excited to move into the house and can’t say enough good things about her. Thank you Bridget!!” Read More ▾

“We really enjoyed working with Bridget of the Keri Shull Team. From the start, she explained the whole home-buying process in detail while setting realistic expectations for us as first time home buyers. When we started visiting homes, Bridget was honest and answered all of questions while helping us understand what aspects to look for, from the approximate … age of appliances and how much longer they might last, to ideas on how to improve a house, such as whether a full renovation or a quick coat of paint was needed. She was open to hearing our thoughts after each house, and after seeing a few houses let us take the lead on picking which we wanted to see as that fit our style. Once we found our house, Bridget provided recommendations on mortgage lenders and other service providers, but also stressed the importance of shopping around for the best deal. During the process she even recommended contractors for us to interview for the work we wanted done. Throughout, Bridget was quick to answer all of our questions and let us know if we were missing anything.” Read More ▾

“Bridget Mendes has been absolutely the *best* realtor. Our home search was long (over 12 months) due to changed circumstances, market conditions, and not finding what we were looking for. Not once did Bridget ever discourage us, tell us we would never find what we were looking for, or give up on us. We eventually found our new home, and … ended up in a competitive situation, which she helped us win with her expertise, strategy, and high level of responsiveness!
