What Clients Say About You

Here is my first review of List with Elizabeth from 2018: Elizabeth Ann Kline is exceptional. My family was in crisis because of my husband's terminal illness, which limited our ability to prepare for the urgent sale of our house. Elizabeth gave me guidance, but also assurance and her offer of personal help. Thanks to her, our home sold the very weekend it went up for sale. I recommend her highly and will always be grateful to her for client care that went above and beyond.
Elizabeth's patience, kindness, and friendliness were truly exceptional. She took the time to answer all our questions, no matter how small, and never made us feel rushed. Her supportive nature and genuine care made all the difference, especially when navigating the complexities of buying our first home. We felt confident and well-informed thanks to her guidance.
We are incredibly grateful for Elizabeth's dedication and support throughout this journey. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who is not only knowledgeable but also genuinely caring and committed to your needs, we wholeheartedly recommend Elizabeth!
Endale and Mekidim
We happened upon her while looking for a home, and she worked tirelessly to help us find the unique fit that was right for our family in moving to the area. Our move was across the country, and Elizabeth made what could have been a difficult process seem easy. She worked many extra hours to make things happen for us, and we know that it's due to her diligence that we found such a perfect home for us. Her entire team was wonderful to work with--zero complaints!
After working with Elizabeth for two months to buy a home in the highly competitive and geographically small West Springfield HS Pyramid, we found ourselves backed into a corner with a landlord wanting to renew our lease and a need to provide stability for our military family. Elizabeth listened to our concerns and went to work exhausting every avenue available to find our family the perfect home within our budget on our limited timeline. Elizabeth understands the market conditions and provided sound informed guidance throughout our house hunting process.Elizabeth's engagement and attention are amazing. While we recognized she was working with other buyers and sellers, we always felt like we had her complete focus and attention. She made us feel like we were her only clients. Would I recommend Elizabeth? YES!!
From the initial search to the final closing, you were there every step of the way, guiding us through the various options and providing valuable insights. Your knowledge of the market and your ability to understand our preferences truly helped us find the perfect home for our family.
I am thrilled with the property and couldn't be happier with the outcome. Again, thank you for your exceptional service and for making this significant milestone in our life a memorable experience. I will not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone looking for a dedicated and reliable real estate agent.
Thank you Elizabeth and to your entire team!
The Morgan's
Elizabeth changed that. Her communication was open and transparent. She had great ideas for what needed to be done to sell our house. Her marketing plan was amazing. The photos, the 3D walk through, and the custom video she made for our home were awesome. In addition, she is a hard worker. She held open houses two days in a row. All of this breathed life into our stagnant situation and resulted in us receiving 4 offers on our home, three of which were over asking price.
We are very thankful for Elizabeth. She turned a difficult situation into a positive one for us. She is a great realtor.
My husband and I met Elizabeth at an open house for a home she was selling in Spring 2023. She was probably the fifth real estate agent we had met by then, and from the beginning she treated us the same as she did for all of the people who walked through the door. Even when she found out we weren't planning on seriously looking for another 3-4 months (we were doing our housing market research at that point), she dedicated time to talk to us at the open house, talk through some tips for the future, and even met with us at our home on a weekday evening as though we were already her client. All the other agents we had met at open houses until that point either didn't pay attention to people, or blew us off the moment they found out we weren't looking seriously just yet. During her consultative visit in our home she broke down some of the aspects we needed to know for the market and also what we needed to do to stay competitive (including when using a VA loan, which is what we had). She directed us to a couple of her local lender contacts, one of which we ended up going with who was extremely responsive to us and knowledgable about the VA loan process.
With the craziness that is the NoVA market, my husband and I were prepared to have to rent for another year, but Elizabeth was determined to find us the right home. Every time I emailed her with a potential home, within 1-2 hours she responded to try and set up an appointment. She made herself available and was also very responsive to us. Also, I'm the kind of person who asks a million questions and at no point did I ever feel "talked down to" or treated as though I was silly for asking the question.
We stumbled upon a home that was a "right house, right time" situation, and Elizabeth guided us in our first ever offer to stay competitive while not asking for more than we were willing to give. The sellers accepted and within a month we closed! Just wow! The process was so smooth, it made our head spin with just how seamless everything was. Seriously, we kept thinking "this is too easy - when is the other shoe dropping?" but it didn't! Elizabeth worked closely with all parties and was in constant communication with us on everything via email and text, including giving us guidance on what to look out for, reminders of all deadlines, etc. She would also share her own experiences when buying property with things that worked or didn't work for her, which helped us in some decision making. Her assistant Regina is also great and very responsive!
From the moment we connected with Elizabeth, her professionalism and genuine enthusiasm for helping us selling our home were evident. We are stationed in Hawaii and Elizabeth has eased the process by went above and beyond. Her knowledge of the local real estate market was truly impressive. She provided us with comprehensive and up-to-date information about the neighborhoods and her expertise made us feel confident and secure throughout our home selling process.
What truly sets Elizabeth apart is her exceptional dedication and responsiveness. She was always available to answer our questions, promptly address any concerns, and provide valuable insights. Her attention to detail was remarkable. Her personalized approach and genuine care for our satisfaction made us feel like we were her top priority.
Thanks to Elizabeth expertise, we sold our home in a quick and profitable manner. Her guidance and strategic advice were invaluable, resulting in a smooth and successful transaction.
We highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone in need of a realtor. Her professionalism, market knowledge, responsiveness, and dedication to her clients are truly exceptional. She surpassed all our expectations.
Thank you, Elizabeth, for everything you have done for us. You are an outstanding realtor, and we are grateful to have had the privilege of working with you!
We happened to come across a house we loved on a Saturday, and on the same day worked with Elizabeth to draft up an offer. By Monday, we were under contract and beat out 5 competing offers for the property.
We 100% would recommend Elizabeth to anyone and everyone looking to buy a home in the Northern Virginia area; Elizabeth is organized, professional, personable, responsive, and will prepare you for every step of the home buying process!
P.S: If we ever sell our house we know who to call. 😉

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the role of a real estate agent?
The main role of a real estate agent is to help clients buy, sell, and rent real estate. This includes
residential and commercial property, along with land. Of course, this is just a very basic answer to this
question.
Real estate agents play a very important role when you need to buy, sell, or rent a property. They have licensed professionals with the necessary training and supervision to guide you through any type of real
estate transaction. Agents work under the supervision of a real estate broker.
While an agent will have different duties to perform when working with a buyer compared to a seller,
the general duties will remain pretty similar. Some of the tasks real estate agents will perform for you
include:
1) Answering phone calls and responding to emails.
2) Scheduling showings and appointments
3) Creating and updating property listings
4) Performing a real estate market analysis
5) Keeping up with the market trends, best practices, and other real estate news, especially on a local level
6) Take care of all marketing tasks for the property for sale or rent
There are many things a real estate agent will do for a client, based on the type of transaction and the needs of the client.
Benefits of Hiring a Real Estate Agent:
If it’s time for you to buy, sell, or rent a property, hiring a real estate agent offers several benefits. You will have a licensed and qualified person to guide you through the process. Plus, real estate agents have industry and community connections to help you.
One of the biggest benefits you will gain when you hire a real estate agent is their local expertise. A good agent will understand the local market and trends. They will know how to properly price your property and negotiate a fair deal for you.
How do real estate agents get paid?
Most real estate agents are paid by commissions. They don’t earn a salary or an hourly wage. Some real estate agents do get paid a fee for listings. This type of agent is often called a flat-fee real estate agent. Flat-fee agents are rather rare.
When a real estate transaction happens, there is a commission paid, usually by the seller. This commission will be split four ways between the buyer’s agent, the seller’s agent, and both the brokers for the agents. The actual commission split will depend on the agreements between the agents and the sponsoring brokers.
How the Commission for Real Estate Agents Works:
When a real estate agent lists a property for a seller, the seller will sign a listing agreement. This is a contract that will provide the details of the listing, including the commission, which might be called the broker’s compensation. The commission is always negotiable based on federal antitrust laws.
Most real estate transactions will include a commission between 5% and 6% of the final sale price. This can fluctuate a bit based on the market conditions and the agreement made between the broker and the seller.
While the seller will pay the commission, it’s often factored into the asking price, which means, the buyer indirectly pays the commission through a higher purchase price.
Both agents involved in a real estate transaction already have agreements with their sponsoring brokers. In some cases, the commission is a 50/50 split with the broker, but this split can vary quite a bit.
Once the real estate transaction has closed, the commission will be paid. If the final sales price was $300,000 and the commission rate was 6%, the total commission paid will be $18,000. This will be split 50% for the buyer’s agent/broker and 50% for the seller’s agent/broker, or $9,000 each.
From there, the commission will be split between the agent and the sponsoring broker. It might be a 60/40 split giving the agent a $5,400 commission and the broker a $3,600 commission.
How do I find a good real estate agent?
When you’re ready to buy or sell a home, you want to hire the right real estate agent. Finding a good real estate agent isn’t always an easy thing. However, there are a few things you can do to make it easier to find the best agent for you.
One of the best ways to make sure you have a great real estate agent is to get a referral from someone you know. Many people find their real estate agent by talking to friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors that have worked with an agent recently. Of course, you can also talk to your social media connections to help.
It’s also very common to find your real estate agent online. However, you want to make sure you do plenty of research when you start looking online. There are many real estate agents to choose from and you need to make sure you get a good one.
As you do your research, you will want to look at any reviews about the agent. There are many websites that feature reviews about the many real estate agents you can choose from. Make sure you do your due diligence before you hire any agent to help you buy or sell a home.
A Few Tips to Help You Find a Good Real Estate Agent:
1. Define Good:
The word “good” when used in front of “real estate agent” can mean different things to different people. You might be looking for an agent that is the best possible negotiator and you don’t really care how nice they are during the process. Someone else might care more about how well they get along with their agent.
Take the time to figure out what “good” means to you before you start looking for a good real estate agent for you.
2. Check Their License:
It’s important to make sure the real estate agent you hire has an up-to-date license. If they don’t, you want to move on. Just go to the real estate department website for your state and you can check the status of the license.
3. Consider the Certifications
If you have a unique type of property or you’re looking for a specific type of home, the certifications of your real estate agent become rather important. Some agents have taken extra courses and have met specific parameters to become certified. You might find an agent certified in military relocation or as a buyer’s agent.
Use these tips and make sure you do your research when trying to choose a good real estate agent.
How do I know if a real estate agent is reputable?
One of the best ways to know if you have a reputable real estate agent is through good research. The online world can tell you quite a bit about an agent. Of course, it’s smart to start by verifying if your agent has an up-to-date real estate license.
Once you have verified the license, it’s time to move on to further research. Just because a real estate agent keeps their license up-to-date doesn’t mean they are reputable. Most real estate agents will be reputable, but you do want to be on the lookout for a scam or just an agent with a bad reputation.
Read Online Reviews:
It can be a sign of a not-so-good real estate agent if the online reviews are not very good, or there aren’t very many. Make sure you read reviews on multiple websites to ensure you get a good sense of what others think about your agent.
A real estate agent with a solid reputation will have plenty of good online reviews. Whether you find reviews on Google, Facebook, Zillow, or another website, you can gain trust and get a sense of the agent through reading reviews.
Look at Certifications:
It can be helpful to look at the certifications of a real estate agent, too. Most agents that aren’t very reputable won’t go the extra mile to gain certifications. If an agent is certified in a specific area, it can be a good sign.
Check Their Listings:
Good real estate agents tend to have plenty of good listings. Of course, this might not be the case with an agent that works only with buyers. However, if you are looking for an agent to list your property, you can certainly check their listings to make sure they are reputable.
Meet the Agent in Person:
If an agent doesn’t want to meet in person, it’s likely not someone you want to work with. An in-person meeting can make it easier to get a better sense of whether they are a reputable agent or not. Plus, it will help you use your gut to make a better decision about whom to hire for your real estate transaction.
Why hire a licensed real estate agent?
There are many good reasons to hire a licensed real estate agent when buying or selling a property. If you’re selling, an agent can help you sell your home faster and for a higher price, compared to trying to do it yourself. Buyers will gain a master negotiator to help them navigate the process of buying a home.
Top Reasons to Hire a Licensed Real Estate Agent:
1. Expert Negotiator:
Whether you’re buying or selling, you need an expert negotiator on your side. There are plenty of things to negotiate throughout a real estate transaction. Your agent will act as your expert negotiator.
2. Price Expertise:
A good real estate agent will know how to set the right price when you need to sell. They will also know what the fair market value is of a property when you need to sell it.
3. Understanding of the Legalese:
A licensed real estate agent has gone through education and training to understand the legalese. When an agent gets their license, they must pass specific national and state exams. You will benefit from this as you will have an expert to help you navigate the legal side of buying or selling a process.
4. A Personal House-Hunter:
Sure, you can look online for a home you want to buy, but a licensed real estate agent knows how to find the right home for you. They often have a network they can use to help find homes you might not be able to easily find online, too.
5. An Objective Party:
With a licensed real estate agent, you get an objective party that will tell you the truth. This can be very helpful when selling your home, as you might have an emotional attachment that makes it harder for you to sell your home.
There are many good reasons to hire a licensed real estate agent. With the right agent, your property can be sold faster and for a higher price. As a buyer, you’ll have an expert to guide you through finding and buying the right home.
