Testimonials

The video tour of our home was exceptional and we liked the email feedback. We wish you could sell our lake house in SC! We would feel very comfortable referring your services to family, friends, co-workers and neighbors.

Bill & Connie Harris - Reston, VA 

Todd, Karen, and Jeff,

I can't thank you enough for everything you did to get my house sold in eight days! Not only did you sell my house in eight days, but you also went above and beyond when it came to preparing my house for closing. This is the first house that I have sold and because of your team it was an enjoyable experience. It's obvious that you care about your clients and are always looking out for their best interests. Buying and especially selling a house can be a very stressful experience however your exceptional service and knowledge of the real estate industry made it a smooth and easy transition. I feel fortunate to be a Cerino Homes client and am looking forward to working with you again in the near future. I would most definitely feel comfortable referring Cerino Home’s services to family, friends, co-workers and neighbors!

Chad Ramey – Sterling, VA

Our experience with Cerino Homes was outstanding - clearly the best experience we've had in our five moves!!!  Beth was awesome - the most dedicated realtor we've ever had - and Todd's experience was invaluable throughout the inspection, inspection negotiation and closing. We would without hesitation feel comfortable referring Cerino Home's services to our family, friends, co-workers and neighbors!

Tony & Kim Heldreth - Leesburg, VA

Our experience with Todd Cerino was very pleasant from start to finish. Todd was receptive to our specific family needs and did not pressure us in any way. Todd went out of his way to ensure he knew our interests and tastes and therefore could recommend more desirable properties. Being and out of town relocation Todd kept us informed every step of the way and was our local go to guy when we could not be there. I would not hesitate to use Todd again.

Jay and Carol Jasunas – Sterling, VA

We had an excellent experience. You were very organized and helped us get everything done. You made getting our house ready for sale as painless as possible by providing us with a staging service, recommending contractors and even doing things at the house when we couldn't. When we moved out we never had to look back!

Rick and Anna Vaughan - Arlington, VA

I have to say you were very patient and understanding. I had specific needs - that got even more specific over time. You are so easy to work with, and I really appreciate your being available in all ways all the time: phone, email, in person. Your automated system that sends listings was great. I would be not just comfortable but happy to refer people to you. Thanks for everything.

Jessica Balick - Sterling, VA

We really appreciate how thorough you are with everything, always following up with the appropriate parties, and checking in with us. We also liked the qualitative analysis you put together to show us what a fair and reasonable price for a given property would be.

Mike and Karyn Speckhardt - Potomac Falls, VA

We had a great experience. Selling our home long-distance would have been extremely stressful had the Cerino’s not treated our home sale as their own. They took care of everything for us from initiating and holding several open houses, to changing light bulbs, to representing us at the closing. We would feel very comfortable referring their services to family, friends, co-workers and neighbors!”

Dan and Kirsten Julevich - Sterling, VA

From the initial meeting until the end, Karen and Todd were on top of all the details. They prepared me for a successful sale and followed up with reminders to ensure I did not loose my way. Fabulous selling experience! I feel that CerinoHomes know how to work in the NoVA market…a very demanding one!

Danita Brittain - Reston, Virginia

What can we say…we just would not be where we are today without your expertise, guidance, support and dedication. You remained positive and encouraging through the entire process. We simply cannot thank you enough! We would definitely recommend your real estate services to a friend!

Thank you,

Scott, Drea & Jack Lawson - Ashburn, Virginia

I appreciated how you answered e-mails and phone calls quickly with the information we requested. Your had the knowledge, experience, and resources to make purchasing our house go smoothly. And it did! Good professional teamwork between you two! You will definitely be our first choice as the Realtor we will refer in the future.

Thanks,

Don & Carol Dick - Ashburn, VA

You gave us constant reminders on what we had to do in order to complete the process. This was so important to us since it was a fast close and very busy time for us. You also explained everything from start to finish in a way that made sense to our non-realtor minds.

Would you feel comfortable recommending our services to a friend? Absoultely, we already have!

Thanks for everything!

Pete and Danielle Jones - Fairfax, VA

We would definitely feel comfortable recommending your services to a friend. You guys were great. You were very patient as we searched for the "right" house. You were always accessible. Thank you again for a great experience!

Gene and Tami Bredow

Do you feel that we adequately explained the real estate process and what you could expect during each phase of the process? Yes!! We had no idea what to expect and the two of you reassured us of what to expect and what our roles were in the process, as well as your roles. In summary, you made the whole process stress free for us.

Would you feel comfortable recommending our services to a friend? Most definitely! If only I could buy more homes and have everyone I know buy and sell too, I would want Cerino Homes taking care of all of us every step of the way!

What made Cerino Homes unique was their personal touch. It wasn’t just a business relationship restricted to real estate, but the start of a friendship as well. From the start, we were comfortable enough to share with them our insecurities in home buying without feeling that I would be taken advantage of. The Cerino’s looked out for us financially and emotionally. This being our first time buying and selling, I did not realize how smooth the whole process was and how fortunate we were with the Cerinos until afterwards. Hearing about others’ experiences in home buying and how difficult it has been for them, I am convinced that it is because Cerino Homes was not on their side. :O)

Dear Todd and Karen,

You both were so thorough and detailed in explaining the process to us and keeping us statused throughout. We would absolutely recommend your services. We plan to recommend you guys to all our friends “back East”! You are very professional, yet professional and friendly. You are very thorough and clearly have a home selling process down that works for you. I also appreciated the overview that you put together for reviewing the contracts on our home – it made it all easier to understand. Please use us as a reference anytime! :O)

Mike and Karyn Speckhardt

Working with Todd and Karen was the best real estate experience we have had to date. They guided us through the process and the many obstacles that we encountered. They looked after our best interest while helping us find solutions to problems and make the best possible choices. We would feel very comfortable recommending them to a friend!

Ron and Elizabeth Freeman

Todd & Karen,

As you know, this was my first home purchase. Your patience and responsiveness relieved all the anxiety that came along with being a first time home buyer. I went into the process with many questions and you seemed to always be one step ahead and were able to anticipate each and every question that I had. You both have a command and knowledge of the local real estate market and were able to make this a very pleasurable experience. I cannot thank you enough for going through this experience with me every step of the way. You definitely went above and beyond the call of duty. I will definitely recommend your services to those that I know and will be on the lookout for future referrals.

Best Regards,

Chad Ramey

Todd and Karen,

Out of all the business I have ever referred out, I must say that your thoroughness and professionalism has been outstanding. Thank you and I will send you all my Loudon referrals.

Take Care,
Tina C.

Dear Todd and Karen,

After initially contacting CerinoHomes, you set up an immediate face-to-face meeting. We were very impressed with your warmth, knowledge, and initiative. Throughout the buying process, you were always professional and accommodating. I have already referred you to a friend. Thank you for a pleasant experience.

Fondly,

Hashim and Jen

Dear Todd & Karen,

This letter is being written to express our gratitude to you both in helping us every step of the way while I purchased our new home.

Buying a first home is an extremely emotional, yet happy time. There were so many things that we didn’t understand along the way – and you both made us feel educated and capable of comprehending the market and the overall process of buying a home. You demonstrated your knowledge and understanding and answered all of our questions (and we certainly had a lot!)

Regarding the siding issue, this was something that you both went above and beyond what really had to be done. As minimal an issue as it may have seemed to anyone else, it was the one thing that would "complete" our purchase and we appreciate the time and effort that you extended to make the situation right.

I have already put so much into the house thus far – and everyday it is becoming more and more "our home sweet home".

You are both always welcome anytime! Again, a special thanks and appreciation for everything that you’ve done for us. I will absolutely recommend anyone to the both of you that might be interested in purchasing a home (especially a first home!).

Good luck with all of your future endeavors and may your daughter know that she has wonderful parents – parents who really care about people making a start.

Thank you for making the purchase of our first home a memorable experience!

Best Regards,

Jill & Brad (& Maddox)

We felt that all details were explained well and would absolutely feel comfortable recommending your services to a friend. We were very happy with your services and will always work with you in the future.

Thanks so much,

Joe and Jan Adams

Todd and Karen,

We just wanted to take the time to put into words the appreciation for what you guys have done for us in the process of selling and buying our house. It is amazing to wake up every morning in our new home, We thank God for putting together a great team of ambassadors and friends working on our behalf, that were able to guide us through the entire process of selling and buying in such a small period of time.

As a computer professional, I sought an agent who included internet marketing as part of their tool kit, I wanted an agent that could communicate with me via e-mail and understood the value of the internet as a selling point; but what I got was so much more than that, there are not enough words to qualify what our experience was with you guys and hopefully will continue to be for many years to come.

Your knowledge of the market, your professionalism, diligence, and your overall understanding of your customer's needs and priorities were fundamental in making this a smooth process and ultimately our dream come true.

One thing is now clear in our mind, that you guys have created the perfect formula, and put the perfect team together and ultimately that explains your success in this competitive market.

We cannot thank you enough for the house we love!

Sincerely,

Mauricio, Diana, Juliana and Alex

Todd – you should get (or have an honorary) PH.D. in psychology…you were a fantastic counselor throughout the process!

No one could have helped us better with our first home purchase! The fast-paced Northern VA market was also very new to us. Thank you for knowing the process, doing your homework on our new house, and efficiently guiding us through the process!

Sincerely,

Brandi and Roger Bhojwani - Arlington, VA

Dear Karen: On behalf of all the staff and agents at RE/MAX Premier, I would like to personally thank you for helping to make our Third Annual Family Festival and Motorcycle Ride-A-Thon a huge success. Thanks to people like you, we were able to raise over $44,200 for Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) and over $2,600 for HEROES, Inc.

The unselfish help and sponsorship we received from you was especially gratifying. Your professionalism and generosity in contributing your time on your day off were inspiring and speak volumes about your values. We are thankful to have people such as you in our community. You’re the greatest!

Warm regards,

Tom Donegan, Broker/Owner - RE/MAX Premier

Dear Todd,

I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the outstanding service you provided my family with both selling our previous town home and purchasing our new single family home. From our initial face-to-face meeting to review our needs through the time we officially moved to our new home, you have been there all along the way, providing excellent guidance and quality consultation.

It was clear from the start that you were going to be focusing on our best interest and you proved it through your actions. As two busy career professionals, my wife and I were limited in the time we had to look for homes and often times not even able to timely get to a fax machine to expedite paperwork accordingly. You made yourself 100% accessible, even coming to our home at 10 PM for a simple signature and to make certain we were knowledgeable and comfortable with the entire buying and selling process – a process that we had limited prior experience with. Of special mention was the fact that you introduced us to a neighborhood we hadn’t previously considered and know we live there and are ecstatic about spending the next several years in our new home.

Everyone knows of hundreds of real estate agents just in their own community or circles, but not everyone understands how certain people are able to differentiate themselves. I can wholeheartedly and without hesitation recommend and endorse you as a person and as a real estate agent to anyone that is in need of such representation. I have found you to be extremely knowledgeable in your industry, as well and empathetic, hard working and focused on providing the best service you can.

Thank you!

Jerry Milwit, Homeowner - Oak Hill/Herndon, VA

Todd and Karen,

Thank you so much for being great realtors. I appreciate you being available to answer all of our questions. Best of luck in the future…we’ll be sure to send all of our friends to you when they begin looking for homes.

Tyler and Ali

What you did well: Explained the process of buying a home, answered all questions promptly and thoroughly, were available day and night, got to know us as customers and met our needs!

Tyler and Ali Maxey - Reston, VA

Dear Todd:

On behalf of the entire Centreville High School PTSA board, I would like to express our heartfelt thanks for your donation of $XXX.XX to our scholarship fund. Due to your generosity, we will be able to award yet another scholarship to a graduating Centreville senior. It is gratifying to know that we live in a community that feels so strongly about supporting our children and their futures.

Sincerely,

Marguerite G. Shapalis, President - Centreville High PTSA

I want to acknowledge the work done by Todd Cerino, Real Estate Agent. I have talked with Todd about personally buying a town house within this next year and he has been incredibly helpful in giving me numerous opportunities to see all ranges of town homes and locations that fit my needs. He has sent me his real estate finder through email and this is absolutely wonderful because it sends me updates of all the town houses that go on the market that are in my price range and location. Now I am always up to date about what new real estate is out there!

Thank you for your hard work and persistence in keeping up with me and my ever-changing needs!

Sincerely,

Dr. Maggie Alvarez - Washington, D.C.

Dear Mr. Cerino,

On behalf of the Centreville High School PTSA, I want to thank you for your very generous donation to the PTSA’s scholarship Fund. Your donation has made it possible for us to provide another general scholarship for this year’s class. Our scholarships are awarded based upon a student’s character and accompanying ways of demonstrating character while a Centreville student. Your donation enables us to recognize another senior to whom the younger students can look for example and guidance. Again, many thanks for your generosity. We hope to be able to thank you soon in person.

Very truly yours,

Lucy D. Preston - CVHS Scholarship Committee

Hi Todd & Karen,

Just wanted to take a moment to thank you both for your excellent work! I have been a realtor for over 25 years and you guys were some of the easiest, most professional people to work with…..Thanks again!!!

All the Best!
Mary Murphy Pelot

If you are thinking of working with Todd and Karen in the purchasing a new home, congratulations, you are in very good hands indeed. They are absolutely the very definition of professional. Their objectivity, attentiveness, and diligence are unrivaled. I felt that I could not have been better represented in my search for a home. Once I found my home, Todd and Karen were exceptional negotiators and advisers. They were committed to protecting my financial interest and maximizing my investment. They were a pleasure to work with. I cannot recommend them and their services highly enough. All through escrow, Todd and Karen were in contact with me constantly. What’s more, they were continually looking over the shoulder of everyone else involved in the transaction to make sure they were doing their part. To say they were on top of things is an understatement. If I decide to purchase another home in Northern Virginia, they will be the first people I call.

Kevin Rose - Ashburn, VA

Hi Todd, Karen and Ashley!!

Thank you so much for all your help with our home sale! We could not have done it without you and feel so blessed to have worked with you and RE/MAX. Most importantly, I really appreciate your support for my best friend, Brian Bedell --- it goes without saying that you are very special people for donating such an incredible auction item to raise money for the Bedells (Brian and Amy told me to tell you “thanks again” too).

We certainly feel lucky because we not only had the guidance of a fantastic Realtor team, but we made new friends in the process as well!

Hope to see you soon and please keep in touch (we’ll do the same)!

Warmest Regards,

Mike, Shannon, and Tyler Ryan - Herndon, VA
