  • I love [The Koitz Group’s] level of service!!  Like going to the Four Seasons!! - Miles P.
  • “As a first time homebuyer, I was nervous about starting the process of looking for a new home. The prices in the DC metro area only added to my apprehension with the firm budget I was working with. Working with the Jason & The Koitz Group was the best decision my spouse and I could've made. They assured us they could and would find us a house we would love. Showing us every option and giving us pros and cons. We were treated as though we were the only couple they were working with. We found the home of our dreams, and thanks to their negotiating and suggestions got it at just the right price! Highly recommend them to anyone who wants to be treated like a friend and not just another customer!“ -  Johnny C.

  • “I have had the pleasure of working with Jason Koitz in the hunt for my first home. Given that I am a first time home buyer it was and is a scary process, let alone I had no idea what I was doing. However Jason has made it such a easy, smooth and educational process. He is the ultimate professional, he was very diligent throughout the process and truly listened and understood what it was exactly I was looking for. He was very honest and upfront all while keeping my best interest in mind which I appreciated most. I would and will work with Jason again in the future and would highly recommend him!!” - Greg F.

  •  “Jason Koitz at [email protected] may just be the best that ever did it. True story, I'm a homeowner in Petworth and was disappointed by two separate realtors who wasted 5 months of my time when Jason aka Superman got it listed, fixed-up, and under contract in less than 3 weeks. We had nine offers and sold for substantially more than the asking price. I know, I know too good to be true right? No this guy is the real deal. He also works with this amazing team made up of his family, you know what they say about guys who love their Mom. Jason is about his business, he has a clear vision, listens to the client, approached my deal as if it was his house and his money on the Line, always communicates his ideas, next steps and can clarify any misunderstanding you may have, he relies on data and his artistic eye on how to revamp/ stage your home and you know what that equals, yes sir, cha Chin. Seriously, you cannot go wrong, this team has you covered from top to bottom, start to finish and the boy is thorough, every I dotted and every t crossed. I also felt that I was talking to/ meeting with an old friend during every interaction with him; he's a good soul and an even better realtor. Oooooh 1 more thing, do yourself a favor and ask him about Phil the contractor, I never thought I would use the word honest and contractor in the same sentence, but it's like you get the best if everything hassle free above board treatment.“ - Work P.

  • The Koitz Group is wonderful.  They are knowledgeable, patient and very easy to work with. Our house-hunting and house-selling experience was as painless as possible due to their expertise. We still turn to the Koitz Group for recommendations whenever we need something done to the house.  We have recommended The Koitz Group to everyone we know as THE ONLY real estates agent to work with!" - Leesa F and Jon B.

  • "It was wonderful to work with you -- and, as you said, not dull! Your patience and willingness to listen, not to mention your expertise and terrific follow-through, made a seemingly endless process bearable." - Jennifer and Bob G.

  • “When I need a real estate team in Bethesda, I always call the Koitz Group. There's really on two things I expect out of any real estate agent: consistent communication and high quality customer service. Gretchen, Kevin, and Jason have consistently nailed both of these two expectations right on the head, and I recommend them to anyone I know moving into the area.” - Steve Castaneda

  • “As a Mortgage Lender, I have known hundreds of Real Estate Agents and Gretchen is the best of the group. She is exceptional with her market knowledge and her client first approach. I have worked with Gretchen since 1993.” - Joseph L.

  • “Gretchen and her son, Kevin, provided excellent guidance and assistance during the home purchasing process. The Koitz Group assisted in the purchase of our first home from soup to nuts. The attention to detail, courteousness, professionalism, and expertise displayed were all first rate. Gretchen and Kevin led us to our desired home, helped us secure the best possible mortgage (through their numerous contacts), and have continued to connect us to their wide network of service providers, e.g. painters, floor repair, etc. I would not hesitate to recommend the Koitz Group to anyone planning on purchasing or selling a property in the DC metro area.” - Neil P.
  • “I've worked with the Koitz Group on a professional level for a number of years now. They are always professional & put their clients first. I look forward to working with them in the future, and anyone would be lucky to buy or sell with them.” - Eric Bramlett

  • “Gretchen is a terrific agent who certainly knows the local market. She went above and beyond in helping us get our house ready to go on the market. It's nice to work with a person you know and like than a stranger! So even if you are just meeting Gretchen, take the leap of faith and you'll be glad you did.” - Peter M
  • “My husband and I have had the pleasure of working with Gretchen on two separate occasions . . . in both instances, and at all times, she was most helpful, informative, able to establish realistic expectations, easy to reach, responsive, patient in the face of "dumb" questions, accommodating of family pressures and constraints, and particularly sensitive to our personal trauma of buying and selling in a "foreign" market. I have no doubt that the ease with which we bought and sold our home is a direct reflection of Gretchen's personal style and mannerisms." - Judith S.
  • “Gretchen and her team sold our house quickly and professionally in a declining market at very close to our asking price. She combines traditional with new and creative marketing tactics and provides excellent advice and service to her clients. She was also a strong advocate for us as a buyers' agent, and we enjoyed working with her and her team. We worked with other real estate brokers prior to Gretchen and the contrast was striking. We would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the DC area, especially MontgomeryCounty.” - Josh D.
  • “My salesperson, Gretchen Koitz, was of the highest caliber of professionalism, caring, and efficiency I have ever experienced. (I have sold four houses over a period of forty years)" - Barbara R.
  • "Gretchen is a terrific agent! Knowledgeable, hardworking and personable...I interviewed 5 agents and picked Gretchen...I'm glad I did." - Gail J.
  • "Wow are you professional and personable. Thank you for handling the sale of our home and the extras, too! Our whole family appreciates and thanks you." - Jim and Carole L.
  • "After we switched (from another real estate agent) to Gretchen, we had a fantastic experience. Our agent was hardworking and industrious -- we really felt she had our best interests, not her own, at heart. We couldn't have ended up with a better agent and have been recommending her left and right ever since." - Frances W. and Wib C. 
  • "Thank you for selling our house! From the time you surveyed our house about three months before we planned to sell and suggested what improvements we could make, we felt that we were in good hands. Then, when our house sold in four days, we knew that we had made the right choice in realtors...Your warmth and kindness made us feel that not only did we have a first rate realtor, but that we also had a good friend." -Alison B.
  • “I began casually trawling the Koitz website in November 2012, with an eye to downsizing from our large family home in Bethesda to a smaller, in town Residence.  My husband and I were toying with the idea and expected the process to take a long time, so we were wary about talking to a realtor, who would be eager to move things along to a sale and a quick commission. In my first conversation with Jason Koitz a couple of weeks later, it was instantly clear to me that he was a prize. He cautioned me to slow down, not to rush a change like this after 20 happy years in one place. He also brought Gretchen in to help us get a realistic idea of what price our home would likely bring. Between the two of them, we had an extremely happy experience, both on the selling end and the buying one. Both of them are down to earth and friendly and, best of all, extremely knowledgeable. As it turned out, they and their tireless team helped us find a perfect spot in DC and sold our house in four weeks. We could not be happier with the Koitz Group.”  - Vicki P.
  • “Gretchen is fantastic. She and her team made this purchase/sale a remarkably pleasant experience. We will recommend them to anyone we know who is buying or selling a home in the area. They went way above and beyond our expectations. They are bright, friendly, honest and not at all pushy. We were comfortable every step of the way." - Doug & Sandy L.
  • “Being removed from the transaction by thousands of miles could easily have been, for us, a nightmare of anxiety and mishaps.  Somehow you managed to keep your time zones straight, maintain good communication with us and provide us with a sense of tremendous confidence.  Having been through four major real estate transactions in as many years, I qualify as a masochist and an expert on real estate agents,  I can state with confidence that you are among the best.” - Henry T.
  • “Wise and polished beyond his years, I recommend Kevin to everyone I know.” - Josh C.
  • “What do we sellers look for in a real estate agent? (1) Efficiency (2) Keeping us informed (3) Keeping promises (4) Skill in negotiation.  I rated you superior in all four respects.  Thanks again for a job really well done” - Sidney G.
  • If you haven't worked with Gretchen before, let me tell ya: always listen to whatever she says.  She hasn't been wrong yet and we would possibly follow her to the end of the earth if she told us we'd like living there. :) - Debbie D.
  • “Gretchen and her team sold our house quickly and professionally in a declining market at very close to our asking price. She combines traditional with new and creative marketing tactics and provides excellent advice and service to her clients.

  • “Gretchen handled the 2003 sale of out home in Kensington, MDand the purchase of our home in Garrett Park, MD. The sale of the house in Kensington became something of a challenge as we approached the closing, but she handled the situation expertly. We were able to wrap up both transactions within 75 days with excellent results. I strongly recommend her.” - Brad C.
