With kind regards, I thank you.” – Al
“I met Long & Foster Realtor Maria Hardy-Cooper through a very good friend who had worked with her on the purchase of a second home. What we thought initially would be a very smooth intra-family sale of an estate property, turned out to be anything but that! However, throughout the roller coaster process which ultimately resulted in the property being sold on the open market, Maria never wavered in providing excellent guidance and support, culminating in the successful sale and settlement of the estate property at $30K above list price. Maria Hardy-Cooper shall forever be my Realtor of choice!” – VM
“Maria has been a fixture in our residential real estate experience from the very first home we purchased in DC. We can always count on her to provide multiple options and remain focused on what is best for her clients. She is truly a family member!” – Buyer of Greenvale St NW
“You cannot find a more knowledgeable, professional and personable agent than Maria. Her passion and expertise are an unbeatable combination. She was my only choice when I decided to sell my house; and by the way she was the agent who sold it to me 12 yrs prior. We have stayed in contact and she has always been super responsive, even when I just had a question. Her advice and efforts were directly responsible for my home receiving an offer above my asking price by the third day it was on the market.” – Seller of 26th St NE
“Maria has been my go to realtor since 2005. I can always count on her to be very professional, extremely knowledgeable and competent realtor. Over the years I’ve come to notice that whenever I’ve called her, rarely does she not answer. And if by chance she doesn’t, it’s always been my experience that, by her own initiative, she will send a quick note by text or just explain why she wasn’t available when I called. That’s quality service that I’ve come appreciate. This year, she was my listing agent for the sale of my family home. Maria shopped my home before it was officially listed and after only a week on the market, I accepted a strong offer. I always recommend her to anyone who needs a good realtor.” – b bernales
“Maria has been our trusted agent for over 15 years. When considering our recent purchase, Maria was our first and only thought about who should represent us. Throughout the entire process, Maria was thorough with every detail and maintained a positive approach. It always showed that she had our back and we appreciate her counsel.” – Buyers of Ellicott St NW
It was a pleasure working with you during our house-hunt this Spring. To be honest, I didn’t think we would find something so soon that fit our primary criteria: access to Montgomery County schools, quiet neighborhood, within the beltway, and within our budget. Beyond that, we had been bracing ourselves for having to lose out on multiple offers before having an offer accepted. But that didn’t happen either, as our very first offer got accepted. Thank you for helping to make the whole process smooth, timely, and enjoyable, unlike the nightmare stories we have heard from friends! – G. & A. W.

I am delighted to recommend Maria Hardy-Cooper as a real estate professional. Maria has been my agent for buying a condo in Washington, D.C., and she devoted an unbelievable amount of energy and time to collecting and sending me listings of possible places and then in showing me many of them when I was able to visit the city.

I could not have asked for a more wonderful person to work with, and I recommend her absolutely without reservation. – Prof. J. McCalla

Although frankly I never had any doubts, and pretty much told my seller that with as good an agent on the buyer’s side (you), this transaction will almost assuredly go through, and for him not to worry at all. You are right, you can pretty much count on a transaction going through by knowing who the agent is working it.” – J.G., Realtor
