What We Do Best

Nalls Home Partners specialises in residential resale - which is a fancy way of saying we help people buy and sell the houses they live and play in - throughout the entire Washington DC Metro area - now, by popular demand, including Virginia too! We take particular pride in working in all price ranges and in every kind of situation: first time buyers, move up buyers, retirement and vacation buyers, listings large and small ...just about every year we have a sale over $2,000,000 and under $200,000. ALL of our buyers and ALL of our sellers can expect to receive EXACTLY the same service regardless of the number of 'zeros' in their price range - THE BEST AVAILABLE. We really mean it - if there is something we can do to improve - just let us know. Heck, we're even blogging now to keep our seller's listings exposed

Nice Things Our Clients Have Said About Us

"My good fortune in finding Barbara herself, of the many well-credentialed real estate agents in the Washington area, was evident from the moment we first spoke..... from the beginning, she was the consummate professional in all respects ? knowledgeable, attentive, thorough in every detail. I was especially pleased with how quickly she grasped my tastes and preferences, in both house styles and neighborhoods, and guided me to properties, any one of which would have been a "good fit." When we found the townhouse that was destined to be mine, her skillful negotiations and exceptional judgment culminated in a winning purchase in the most challenging of circumstances. My delight in the house, and in the extra-ordinary dedication and experience Barbara brings to her work, has only grown over time. She is commended with my greatest enthusiasm.

"I just wanted to write and thank all of you in the Nalls group for your help with finding this new place for me. Everyone on your staff was extremely patient and professional. I really enjoyed working with you and getting to know your team."
Matt G., Washington, DC

"Thank you for all of your help in selling my parent´s home. It was a very difficult time for my family and all of you were both understanding and professional in accomplishing the task at hand. We were appreciative of your analysis as to the real estate market in the Chevy Chase area and your suggested pricing of our house. In addition, we valued your input when offers were made. All of you were so helpful in obtaining the resources needed to "present" the house. I was particularly appreciative of your help in locating charitable organizations so that we could donate furniture that my family no longer needed. We could not have accomplished everything without the help that you and your staff gave us. Thanks again for a job well done!
Dena W., Chevy Chase, MD

"I just wanted to send you a note letting you know how much I appreciate all the Nalls team did in helping me sell my home in Rockville. Your attention to all the details and timing of the entire selling process was impeccable! Not once did I worry about the details or wonder if things were on track. You always gave me a heads up before I could even think to ask the question. Your presence at offer time and especially at settlement was greatly appreciated and was a source of comfort to me. During such a stressful and emotional time as it is selling a home, it was wonderful and comforting to have you and your team managing and supporting the entire process. Thank you for everything - I can´t tell you enough how much I appreciated having you in the picture.
Heather M., Potomac, MD

"I am writing to let you know how pleased I am with Barbara´s efforts to sell my house. She quickly sold my house for a reasonable price at a time when the market was very slow. I am delighted that she surpassed my expectations in this and almost every other regard. In addition, Barbara made the process seem manageable to me. I had lived in the house for almost 13 years and the idea of getting the house ready and actually moving seemed overwhelming. At each step, Barbara remained cheerful and confident. Her strong spirit carried the sale and me with it. Throughout, she was clear, direct and provided the expertise I needed to make the best decisions possible..... Barbara´s energy, commitment and sheer ability to sell make her an outstanding real estate agent. Barbara brought both an appreciation for the seller´s personal attachment to the property, the buyers´ needs and her own professional knowledge of the market to make the sale as painless as possible for all concerned. As you can tell, I cannot endorse her highly enough." Katharine K.

"She has natural abilities to succeed that others must learn. Any client would be served by retaining Barbara. Any buyer can be sure that she will guide them with sage advice.

"In early September we got word that one of the large townhomes in our development would be going on the market3;..we decided to go for it. After some fancy footwork and help from our fabulous real estate agent, Barbara Nalls, we were able to put a contract on the house before it even listed! Not only that, but we found couple looking to purchase their first home who made an offer on our house. We were able to sell the house without having to list it! It was an unbelievable experience.."
Helen F., Gaithersburg, MD

"I have had the opportunity to work professionally with Barbara Carnemark Nalls on countless occasions for the past twelve years. Throughout the course of our professional relationship, I have seen Barbara function in virtually every aspect of the real estate profession - as a buyer broker, as listing agent holding open houses and as the sellers´ representative and the buyers´ representative working with ratified contracts. Additionally, as Barbara and I share mutual clients throughout the many phases of the real estate sales cycle, I am privileged to hear our clients feedback with regards to Barbara´s level of service. I have found Barbara to be one of the most thorough, professional and responsible real estate agents that I have had the privilege of working with in the Washington D.C. area. I truly respect the level of mutual trust she shares with her clients3;this trust is paramount to clients making such tremendous investment decisions. Barbara consistently maintains a high level of professional standards and ethics that are critical to her unquestionable success as a realtor.

"How can we ever thank you for everything you have done for us? You´ve been with us since the beginning and have witnessed the highs and lows. We often comment that we don´t know what we would have done without you. We´ve felt so fortunate to work with all of you3; Thanks for everything.

"Thank you so much for all your help with our home selling and buying. We had a great time getting to know you and your team."
Dawn M., Silver Spring, MD

"I would like to take this opportunity to provide some comments to you about Barbara Nalls, who recently listed my house in Chevy Chase. I first met Barbara approximately two years ago3; at that time, I had my house listed with another agent3;. when it did not sell, I rented it and when the time came again to put it on the market, I called Barbara3; I must tell you, I have never worked with a more knowledgeable, aggressive agent, and I am not easily impressed. Barbara put an incredible amount of energy into my listing, holding open houses, ads in the paper, cross-referencing with other agents etc. In addition, she had the patience of Job in dealing with a demanding client (me), and a difficult tenant3; I will use Barbara again; I do not know what more anyone could do3;"
Glenn N., Chevy Chase, MD

"I want to take this opportunity to tell you how much we appreciated working with all of you when we sold our house;you gave us professional and expert advice; and accurately gauged the market. Neither myself nor my wife were at all familiar with the process of selling a home. Barbara and her team guided us through this process, protected our interests in the sale, and were always available to answer all our questions promptly3; it was great working with her and the Nalls team.
Alex K., Chevy Chase, MD

"Barbara was a wonderful realtor. She made the sale of the house we had lived in for 37 years far less traumatic than it could have been. She was very creative in her sales methods and generated unbelievable interest. Her hints for getting the house ready for sale were invaluable. Plus, she is a genuinely nice person."
Hal & Kay J., Bethesda, MD
