About Thierry Roche - Fairfax County Realtor & Radio Show Host

Thierry has been a Realtor for over 20 Years in Northern Virginia. During this time he has focused on developing unique money saving strategies for his clients of homebuyers, homesellers and Investors that have garnered attention of the major news media outlets. In addition to currently working as an active full time Realtor, Thierry also hosts the weekly talk radio show, "Inside Real Estate", the longest running Real Estate Radio show in the Washington DC Metro Area.

He is a quoted Real Estate Authority in the Washington Post, Washington Times, Fairfax Journal, Washington Business Journal, WMAL Talk Radio, WWRC Talk Radio, WBZS Business Radio, Channel 8 TV News, and CBN TV National News, and ABC Radio.

Thierry's unique strategies and techniques have been tested and proven exceptionally effective in saving tens of thousands of dollars for home buyers and home sellers. In 1994, by the age of 27, Thierry had obtained the #1 Ranking out of thousands of Realtors in the entire Mid-Atlantic Division for the largest Real Estate company in the entire world, Century 21.

This is a feat that had never been achieved by someone that young, and has not been matched since. In 1993, Century 21 flew Thierry and 15 of the top agents in the world to Hollywood in order to exclusively showcase them in Century 21’s annual national Television ad campaign.

By his mid-thirties, Thierry had already obtained the top award of “Lifetime Achievement” and the coveted “Hall of Fame” award from Re/Max International. These two awards are only obtained by a very few select agents and brokers in the world, based on the absolute highest total volume of homes sold throughout an entire career.

Of the rare few that make it to the top level (most don’t achieve it until their retirement years), Thierry had made the top level by his mid-thirties. He is ranked in the Top 1% of all Realtors Worldwide.

He has conducted scores of Seminars educating Buyers, Sellers, Homeowners & Investors with his unique “Insider Information” on how to literally save tens of thousands of dollars by taking advantage of his strategies and techniques that were squeezed out of his weekly Radio show interviews of hundreds of different experts in fields from mortgages and residential investing, home buying and selling, Real estate taxes, insurance and home repairs and improvements.

Several Newspapers, including the Washington Post and the Washington Times have run many feature articles about Thierry’s unique groundbreaking techniques that ‘guarantee’ money saving results for homebuyers and sellers.

Articles have included home buying savings and finance strategies to get the best price & terms that are used exclusively by industry insiders. Also, different strategies used by Insiders for reading the local markets to find the best deals, and then save thousands ever year on normal homeownership costs of mortgages, taxes, insurances and maintenance/repairs.

Articles for home sellers have showcased his techniques to maximize home selling prices, while saving time in any market environment, especially when other homes are not selling. His investing articles preach how to conservatively invest in houses to make millions, without relying on price appreciation, plus he even shows how to make money, if houses go down in value. Thierry even exposes some of the closely guarded industry insider secrets to home ownership -- cost saving strategies that will save the average homeowner thousands of dollars every year on items from taxes and insurance to mortgage financing and home repairs/improvements.

Thierry is the Realtor that is consistently hired by other Realtors and mortgage bankers for their own ‘personal’ real estate consultation, strategies and services. Thierry is known as the ‘Realtor’s’ Realtor. He is also the one that other agents and brokers go to for consulting about their own real estate investments.

Thierry has hosted the Washington DC area’s longest running exclusive real estate Radio talk show, “Inside Real Estate,” providing “insider information” on buying and negotiating techniques, home selling positioning and strategy for the best price, financing guidance and savings, residential investing and wealth creation and homeownership tips and tricks that will save tens of thousands of dollars on home taxes, insurance, finance, repairs and maintenance and improvements.

When not selling Real Estate, Thierry enjoys spending time with his wife and children, fishing, skiing, socializing with friends and family, and being outdoors.

Testimonials

Thierry Roche is simply the best real estate advisor you could ask for. I have worked with Thierry for over a decade to buy and sell my personal residences and many investment properties. He consistently provides superior support in terms of education, information, and action, and his understanding of the market and the process are unsurpassed.

With his guidance and support, I developed a significant investment real estate portfolio that has changed my life, and even though I do invest in some other markets, I have yet to find any other real estate professional with the completeness of knowledge and tenacious approach to finding the right property and getting the deal done.

In a real estate industry with countless hacks with little experience and shallow advice, listen and learn from Thierry, and let him guide you to outstanding real estate decisions. He will simply deliver the results that others can't.

-- Earl Eck, President, Noble Knowledge Solutions, LLC

Thierry’s guidance &; understanding of different Real Estate markets combined with his knowledge of Investment fundamentals and tax savings has helped me roll out of two investment properties that had a combined net positive cash flow of $175.00/month and get into 2 other properties that now give me a combined net positive cash flow of $753.00/month. Plus I paid $0 in Capital gains taxes when we rolled into the new properties and best of all, I have no more property management responsibilities.

-- Eric Leigh, Residential Investor, Fairfax, VA

As a Commercial Real Estate Broker I'm always on the lookout for new investment opportunities for my own portfolio. But I also know where to go to get the best insider expertise in the Residential investment field for increasing my positive monthly cash flow, finding where the best opportunities exist and the best tax strategies to save money. That’s why I use Thierry Roche as my own personal Investment Realtor instead of relying on myself.

When I need a new twist on an investment idea or I need to know what’s the hottest -- and MOST EFFECTIVE way -- to invest capital, Thierry Roche is a fellow investor I know I can count on for stretching my knowledgebase.

Even with my experience as a Real Estate Editor for one of the D.C. area’s largest newspapers, authoring a book on investing (Real Estate Investing Made Simple), and writing hundreds of articles both in print and online, Thierry and I will spend hours talking about the latest investment strategy in real estate (and I’m always the one with the questions!)

Thierry has shared with me new, profitable Real Estate Investment strategies and techniques to increase Investment property monthly cash flow time and time again.

-- M. Anthony Carr, Author (Real Estate Investing Made Simple), Investor, National Speaker. Former editor, Washington Times. Now, a top-ranked managing real estate broker for Weichert Realtors on the entire East Coast.

Over the past few years, Thierry Roche has referred several of his clients to my company WJD Management, a Northern Virginia residential property management firm. His clients’ portfolios consist of properties that he hand-picked for them.

And after they engaged our services, I observed that all of their homes were what I would consider to be prime investment properties. My business partner and I already own a number of rental homes, and we recently decided it is time to begin searching in earnest for more.

I am a real estate broker and could easily do this myself (and receive a commission on each transaction as well) but we decided that it makes far more sense to let Thierry find them for us because of his expertise in this venue.

-- David Norod, Principal Broker, WJD Management, LLC

I’ve moved a lot, due to corporate relocations. I’ve bought and sold 8 homes in my lifetime. The most frustrating and infuriating of all of them, by far, was my 8^th purchase, when I used Thierry Roche as my Real Estate Broker.

It wasn’t until after I sat down with him to go over my many needs and wants for my upcoming home purchase that I found out how much I didn’t know. I thought I was quite experienced in buying homes, but I didn’t realize how many different techniques existed that could save me money on my home and financing.

Don’t get me wrong, I am happy about the fact that I met Thierry and listened to his many ideas for unique ways to buy homes and save money on the whole process. I’m elated that I used some of those techniques and literally saved over $38,000 on my financing. Plus I saved several thousand dollars on my purchase price. Subsequently, I’ve used his ideas for home repairs and working with contractors to save money on several different occasions.

The upsetting part is that I had 7 previous, lost opportunities to save thousands of dollars on my other homes, and no one ever educated me about any of these strategies. So I wonder what financial position I would be in by now, if I had met Thierry on my first home purchase, rather than meeting him on what will probably prove to be the last home purchase of my lifetime.

-- Michael Carlton, Springfield, VA

Over the last seven years I have used Thierry, both as a buyer and a seller. It probably goes without saying that if he wasn't good at what he does that I wouldn't have more than a one deal history with him.

But it's more than understanding the basic nuts and bolts of a real estate transactions that keeps me going back. Thierry understands more than WHAT to do -- he understands WHY to do it as well. Given that no two deals are ever the same, his creative approach to the process, from identifying the right property, to structuring the deal, to financing options, to what to do with the property once you own it, have given me a high level of confidence, since I first began real estate investing.

His understanding of the real estate market, especially from the point of view of an investor, is extraordinary. My experience is that there, in the deep end of the pool, the talent bench is very shallow with most agents.

I have personally recommended Thierry to several of my friends and co-workers. His no-sales-pressure approach to buying and knowing-and-doing-what-needs-to-be-done approach to selling is what I'm looking for. His breadth of experience in the real estate business is invaluable in a ";normal"; market. In today's market it is even more so.

I have used professionals in many fields. I have never recommended one as often or as vehemently as I have Thierry.

-- Gene McMillan, South Riding, VA

We have worked with Thierry on three real estate transactions and have recommended him to our parents, siblings and co-workers -- all of whom hired him.

Thierry has a keen understanding of the Northern Virginia housing market, not just in the actual buying/selling transactions, but also strategies for saving tons of money on the purchase and sale.

He's a master and understands our local market inside and out. When it came to selling, he taught us how to price the home, how to stage it and showed us the kind of marketing materials required to sell the property. He even targeted the selling of our last house to a specific buyer and developed a marketing plan around that prospective client.

And we sold in five days, with four offers! We will continue to use Thierry to handle our real estate needs and appreciate his logical, tenacious approach to buying and selling real estate.

-- Jeff &; Heather Kircher, Fairfax, VA

As the owner of Realty Sign Post Company, I deal with lots of real estate agents. And when my friends and I decided to purchase a foreclosure property as an investment, we chose to work with Thierry because of his experience in dealing with investment properties. All of us have been very happy with that decision because of Thierry's excellent service and knowledge.

When we looked at potential investment properties, Thierry was great at educating us on what to look for in investment properties. He recognized ‘simple fixes’ as well as problems that would involve a lot more time and cost. With Thierry's help, we’ve bought two great positive cash flow investment properties so far. I highly recommend him.

--Ryan Myers, Co-Owner, Realty Sign Post

We cannot say enough that hasn't already been said about Thierry Roche. We owned 2 homes in Annandale, the first of which we were fortunate enough to be selling when the market was extremely hot.

In May 2005, we contracted with a good friend and Realtor to sell our primary residence. It was a wonderful experience, and the home sold within 3 days. In the weeks that followed however, we attended a Thierry Roche ‘Home Selling/Capital Gains Avoidance’ seminar. And, despite the wonderful experience with our good friend/realtor, we decided to work with Thierry Roche to sell our other Annandale investment property.

After several meetings, it was clear Thierry had his hand on the pulse of the market, although beating much slower. It was very apparent that Thierry was not only a realtor, but someone who was knowledgeable about market conditions, capital gains, tax planning, investment strategies, a true educator and so much more.

Thierry sold our investment property in five days in what had turned into, a 'down market'. He basically walked us through the entire process from contract signing, to helping with contractors, to capital gains advantages and right on through the settlement table.

We have since developed an even greater relationship and developed a strong feeling of confidence with Thierry, especially after having recently purchased 2 more investment properties through him in the last year. And we look forward to being kept in the loop.

Thanks again, Thierry, for your patience, guidance and friendship.

--Tom and Dawna Taylor, Mason Neck, VA

I started working with Thierry before I became a mortgage professional, shortly after I attended one of his investment seminars. As a young medical device salesperson at the time, I wanted advice on how to best invest my heard-earned commissions.

Thierry understands all aspects of Real Estate Investing and is eager to share his knowledge. Thierry's experience and expertise guided me through my first transaction. And, even though I now have access to hundreds of real estate professionals, I have continued to rely on him, many times, over the years for his investing advice and to find other properties that fit my guidelines.

I am now happy to assist some of his other clients, with their financing needs. In working with Thierry from another side, I continue to see the same professionalism he showed me as a buyer, as well as to hear the confidence in the voices of his clients. They tell me they know they are getting a good deal and how excited they are to have found a good property to add to their portfolio – thanks to Thierry’s guidance.

Thierry, I listen to you on the radio regularly, and I really have a very high opinion of your knowledge and expertise. But yesterday was the first day I attended your seminar -- and now my respect for you has gone up many, many times.

I really wanted to write you and thank you for doing such a great job! And I am looking forward to having some kind of working business relationship with you, so we can benefit from your knowledge.

--Dinesh Mehra, Reston, VA

We originally talked to another realtor, who recommended that we list our home at $289,000. We decided to get a second opinion from Thierry Roche who, after viewing our home, and educating us on the market changes that were about to happen, felt it should be listed at

$10,000 more.

We were quite impressed with Thierry's knowledge of the market and what makes buyers motivated to buy one home over another, and obviously we hoped that his evaluation of our home was correct. So, we listed with Thierry at $299,900.

I am happy to say that our home sold within 9 days at $314,000 with two offers - a full

$4,100 more than our asking price -- and $14,100 more than the other realtor had recommended

It pays to deal with someone who truly understands the market, and we are very satisfied that we did. We would highly recommend Thierry Roche and his team to anyone considering selling their home.

--David K., Gainesville, VA

As a first-time homebuyer, I had a great deal of anxiety about my foray into the labyrinth of real estate transactions – I was scared to buy because of the intimidating process, and scared to hesitate too much longer because of very favorable lending rates and appreciably lower home prices.

I was introduced to Thierry by a coworker, who recommended him professionally and personally – he was both her family’s real estate agent and a friend. She said he was a straight-shooter, he’ll tell you how it is.

So when I first, nervously, contacted Thierry … I told him how it was for me. I was a first-time buyer, and I was going to have a LOT of questions and might need some hand-holding.

Thierry did better than just answer my questions and quell my anxieties. He educated me about the entire process, from what I could reasonably afford (and qualify for based on my finances), through the mortgage process and closing.

As a professional, he wanted to be sure I thoroughly understood both the transaction and the process to complete it. The result was a smooth and successful purchase of my first home.

I look forward to working with Thierry again!

--Johnise Molloy, Herndon, VA

I have worked with Thierry Roche on the purchase of multiple investment properties that I now own in Virginia. I have found his insight into the real estate investment market insightful, useful and financially profitable.

I relied on him for a clear picture of potential investment income from each unit, and found him always to be right on-target. He clearly understood my risk appetite and requirements, always following through diligently. I found him to be a patient teacher, as I learned from his experience.

The biggest complement I can give Thierry is this... after working with him for just a short time, I requested he put bids on properties, ";sight unseen,"; by me. I relied on him to grade the physical state of the property, its investment potential etc – then to just call me when only we were ready to put in a bid.

It was not until after I had purchased the unit that I would even do my first walk-through of the property he chose for me. Now that's trust… he earned it.

--Dr. Les Zuckerman, Potomac, MD

Thierry was not my first real estate agent but in 2000 I heard him on the radio talking about his free investment seminar I figured I would go. I quickly purchased my first VA foreclosure through Thierry and his process. He had the lender and Title company lined up and the entire process was very simple. So simple, that I referred several friends to Thierry and they have referred their friends. I always look to Thierry for Real Estate advice and use him in transactions whenever possible. My only mistake I’ve made in purchasing real estate is not finding him sooner.
