Realtors can extol their own accomplishments and virtues. Many have impressive sales records. But what went on during the sales process, before and after? Only clients can answer those critical questions. It’s with great pleasure that I give you a sampling of testimonials from some of my clients, both buyers and sellers. I’m proud to present these, because this is what fuels my real estate career: helping people meet their needs.
“Terry Carter, an experienced and savvy agent, sold my condo unit in a challenging market and did an outstanding job. That’s the bottom line. But just as important to me, Terry – unlike many others I’ve worked with – is also down-to-earth, genuine and completely comfortable to work with. He’s the perfect combination of bulldog and gentleman. The way he wisely laid out strategy and then advised actively through the process gave me great confidence and trust – just what one needs when conducting one of the most important business transactions most of us ever undertake. Terry is one of those few in a tough profession who stands head and shoulders above the rest. And perhaps most telling – long after completion of the business relationship – we are friends.”

“Terry was great. I had been thinking about selling my condo in DC for a while and Terry helped walked me through the pros and cons of staying put, renting or selling. He was generous with his time and combined a professionalism with a personal touch. When I did decide to list my unit, Terry was able to provide top-notch, full-line service and advice. Probably of most importance, he got the pricing right. As I was a part-time resident of DC, Terry was able to help line up professionals to stage the unit, remove all of my furniture, produce wonderful brochures and get the unit featured in a way that generated a lot of interest. Having listed the unit in the middle of the market downtown, imagine how pleasantly surprised I was when the unit was on the market less than a week after having generated multiple offers. He definitely knows the market, is professional and assists his clients every step along the way.”

“Terry was the second broker I hired; I wish he had been the first. My first listing was on the market for 3 months without a single offer or indication of interest from anyone. Terry told me what I had to do to sell my home, kept following up with me until I did it and I got an offer in one week, which resulted in a successful sale.
It was clear from the start that Terry was different than other agents. He wasn't simply trying to accumulate a large book of listings and counting on buyer's brokers to find and sell my home for him. My condo didn't simply get sold, Terry sold it; he actively marketed my home and sold it very quickly in the worst real estate slump of my lifetime. I would highly recommend Terry Carter to anyone.”

“A few years ago, I began looking for a home to purchase in the Alexandria/Kingstowne area. As it had been some time since I had gone through the home buying process, it was important that I found a real estate agent who could ease my anxiety. Terry Carter was referred from a co-worker and I couldn't be happier with the service he provided. Trying to find a home within my budget, plus dealing with the tumultuous housing market, non-responsive banking institutions, and homeowners was a difficult task. However, Terry made the process very simple for me and went the extra mile in making sure I found a home that fit my needs.
I've been in my home for 2-1/2 years now and am very happy with the decision. Terry added a personal touch that is not found with all agents. After spending many Saturday and Sunday mornings looking at properties with Terry, it was evident that not only is he an excellent agent, but a good person as well. I would highly recommend Terry to anyone looking to purchase a home.”

“To interested buyers/sellers, I want you to know I have never had a better experience than working with Terry Carter to sell my Washington, DC condo. His research to help me determine my asking price was invaluable and provided me with a great deal of confidence. Terry is detail oriented, knowledgeable of DC real estate law, responsive and follows up to make sure everything is handled correctly and expeditiously. He will go over and beyond for you.”

“In 2010 we listed our Chinatown condominium with Terry Carter and not only did it sell after being on the market for one day, it sold for above the asking price! We could not have been happier with all of Terry's hard work. We had a three month old baby and Terry took it upon himself to prepare our condo for listing. He was with us on every step of the way from creating an excellent and effective marketing and pricing strategy to even meeting painters and workmen at our home to help us along. Thanks to Terry we were able to afford the house of our dreams for our growing family. We would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone looking for a Realtor in the Washington DC area!”
