We had a fantastic experience buying our home with Coleman Residential! They are friendly, fair, and communicate clearly every step of the way. They made the administrative processes as easy as can be, something I didn't expect from the home buying process but came to really appreciate. They also made sure our priorities were always front and center. They handled every inevitable hiccup with ease. We love our new home and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Coleman Residential to a friend!

Coleman Residential has been hands-down the best real estate agency we've worked with ever since we purchased our first property, in March 1986. While every other experience we've had has been marred by issues of one kind or another--inexperienced realtors, poor choice of inspectors, lack of sufficient effort on the part of the broker--John and his team displayed their expertise, experience, and amazing work ethic throughout the entire process. It gives any seller or buyer confidence when their agent is knowledgeable, but another trait of this team is their ability to listen really well, understand the issues you have, and advise you accordingly. With the glut of condos in the muted DC real estate market, selling isn't a prospect you view with much enthusiasm. Our condo also came with significant issues--high HOAs, inconsistent property management, and the building's loss of warrantability by FHA, which ruled out conventional mortgages. The beauty of working with John and Claudia was that they understood how these would factor in and steadily guided us while remaining clear-eyed and optimistic about the potential obstacles. A lot of our success came down to pricing, on which John did not hesitate to offer specific recommendations. We listed on August 20, we had two cash offers on September 12, and we closed on October 2. Those are the kind of results any seller dreams of. As the saying, "the devil is in the details" so special acknowledgements go to Claudia Ornelas, John's amazing right hand, who went above and beyond the call every single time. Ashley Pierre was our friendly taskmaster post-contract signing and was wonderful to work with.

A great team that has your best interest at heart, stays on top of things and returns your call/texts/emails within minutes. Can't recommend enough!

We found John through recommendations on Reddit/social media for first time homebuyers and we're ao glad to have had him by our side through this process. He is patient, knowledgeable, and most importantly, candid. We always felt like we were getting his best advice, even if it meant more work or lost opportunities for him. When some complications arose, John was extremely thorough in researching the facts, vigorously advocating for our best interests, and getting our bases covered. He was always very responsive and we had high confidence through the process that he had our back. He is also just good fun to work with and has a way of keeping things light and adding perspective. We cannot recommend him more highly.

John, Ashley, and the Coleman Residential Team were awesome to work with. Great experience (especially as a first time homebuyer).

John and the Coleman Residential Team were fantastic to work with throughout my home search and purchase. As a first-time homebuyer, I had a lot of questions, and John was always responsive, knowledgeable, and patient in guiding me through the process. He provided valuable advice during negotiations, helped me navigate inspections and closing, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel much more manageable. I always felt informed and supported, and I highly recommend John and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

John is an incredible realtor who helped us find and purchase our dream home. He is thoughtful and real—he’ll tell you why not to buy a house, what the pros and cons of any particular feature of a property are, and what is realistic to expect from a seller or developer. He is also very empathetic, and he understands what a central part of a family’s life a new home purchase can be. He was patient with my million questions about everything and very effective in helping us negotiate key repairs from the seller. He knows and loves DC. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

John Coleman came highly recommended from our daughter, who has bought 2 houses and sold one with his help. Working with John and his team was a pleasure from start to finish. He helped us focus our search and patiently explored numerous houses with us. Once we decided on a house, he and his team handled every aspect of the sale that did not absolutely require our involvement, including routine and non-routine inspections. He involved contractors he knew to give us background information to help with the negotiations. The whole process was as smooth and as stress-free as possible. The team was always available for questions and John also had great recommendations for contractors for work we wanted to do after we bought the house. We would highly recommend John and would certainly use him again if we buy or sell in future.

John and his team recently helped us with both a home purchase and sale in the Hill East neighborhood. No one knows this area of town better or is more in tune with the market than John. His insight was tremendously helpful, especially in navigating a challenging and dynamic market during the sale of our home. His team was always on the ball with respect to deadlines and requirements and made sure everything came together seamlessly. We valued his feedback and guidance, and highly recommend him and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell in the greater DC area.

We found John somewhat randomly through Instagram, loved his vibe, and decided to go with him. It turned out to be one of the best decisions. As two lawyers, we probably required a little extra patience (we asked many, many questions), but John answered every one thoughtfully. Even more importantly, he anticipated the questions we did not know to ask and made sure we were informed, confident, and well represented at every stage. When unexpected complexities arose during the contract, he drew on his deep expertise and extensive network to help us navigate them effectively. Thanks to his dedication, judgment, and responsiveness, we found our dream home and sealed the deal as soon as it hit the market. We could not recommend John and his team more highly!

I can’t say enough about what a great job John, Claudia, and their whole team did selling my home this past spring. They provided best in class marketing, did an excellent job of communicating through every step of the process, and really hustled to take care of all the hiccups came up during the various stages of the sale. The market is pretty tough at the moment, but not if you have realtors like John and Claudia working on your behalf. They’re the best available option in DC and I fully plan on using them again and referring them to anyone I know who’s buying or selling a home in the area.

John was terrific. He listens carefully, never tries to push his own agenda, is extremely helpful, has sound advice about bargaining, and is happy to take work off your plate and put it on his. We appreciated both his candor and his honestly. He also makes himself available whenever needed. Highly recommend. Mike Klarman

Working with John and Ashley as a first-time home buyer was an incredible experience for me. Looking into home ownership felt overwhelming at first but after meeting with Ashley & John I felt more confident in continuing with the process. They are both patient/kind and will answer all your questions along the way. Ashley was great during our property tours. She is very friendly, and also easy to talk to which makes the home tours fun. I can't thank you both enough for all the help. If you are first time homebuyer, I especially recommend this team!

I purchased my first home with John Coleman a decade ago, and this year I sold that home with him and bought a new one. It's incredible to see John's growth as real estate agent and leader. He's become instagram-famous for his house tour videos, but the his approach to the home buying process remains consistent: he listens carefully to your needs, works around your schedule, gives you honest and impartial advice, shows real empathy during the tough moments, treats everyone with respect, and gets deals done quickly. His depth of experience shines in this challenging market: the house we sold was priced just right and sold in a day. This time around I also had the pleasure of working with his whole team, and they were all a delight!

I don't even know where to begin! I cannot recommend John and his team enough! I was a first time home buyer and from our very first meeting, John went above and beyond to ensure that I felt comfortable, answering my millions of questions and walking me though each step of the process. He is incredibly knowledgeable about all things DMV and it showed in every interaction we had with him. What should have been a scary process felt easy (and even fun) with John and his team. If you're looking to buy a home (and especially if it's your first time), John is your guy.

John and his team have guided us through three transactions on both the buy and sell side with the utmost care, straightforward advice and terrific customer service. John's pulse on the DC-market (in particular his deep expertise in the Capitol Hill/ Kingman Park/ Hill East/ Trinidad/ H Street neighborhoods) would have us recommend his team to anyone buying or selling in the area. A better way to say it is that John has really woven himself into the community's fabric over the course of years. He knows the stories behind our neighborhood (and homes, in some cases). His team understands the block-by-block nuances that might driving decision making on price and asset selection. You can't go wrong!
