Testimonials
""Clay was knowledgeable, offered great insight, and was extremely responsive. Could not have been more satisfied or impressed.""
- Will C., Tenant Client"Vici Boguess is Dependable"
"In short, she [Vici] made what could have been a difficult, tense time for me into an easy situation as I knew I could depend and rely on her to lead me through it."
- S.M., Seller Client"We would like to recognize Sissy Zimmerman for her expertise and hard work in helping us buy and sell our homes. Over the years, Sissy has been our realtor and has also helped our son and daughter-in-law buy and sell several of their homes. With her deep and broad real estate knowledge and attention to detail, she has always offered expert and timely advice that enabled all of us to have a smooth transition in what could be a stressful time.
We recently bought the house across the street from us in Old Town Alexandria that was owned by our friends/neighbors. One might think that we wouldn’t need a realtor for what seemed to be a simple transaction, but they would be wrong. Sissy helped us at every step to negotiate price and conditions of the sale and was always on top of the situation in her communication with the sellers’ realtor and the lawyer handling the closing. She thought of several important things that we hadn’t, which made the transaction go more smoothly.
Selling our townhouse could have also been stressful. Sissy correctly urged us to move out before listing our house, and then she arranged for it to be newly painted, carpeted and staged throughout to become much more desirable. She answered every query by text, email and phone immediately and kept us updated on the situation, not only of our house but also on the two other homes on our block that went on sale a week or two after ours. After we received an offer, Sissy immediately came to our new house for us to sign the contract and all the paperwork and arranged for the home inspections and our closing within two weeks.
We would highly recommend Sissy Zimmerman as a realtor to anyone, but particularly in Old Town, where she is so familiar with the housing situation. She is great at buying/selling a house, but even better at following up on all the details (large and small) that accompany a purchase or sale. She is prompt and professional but also treats us like family and has made what could have been a difficult transition into a pleasure."
- Tom & Bonnie M."Clay Burke is a Total Rock Star and I Highly Recommend Him"
“Being that I was a first-time home buyer, I was obviously a complete novice with respect to all things real-estate. It was an absolute pleasure and a tremendously edifying experience working with Clay Burke. He was incredibly patient and accommodating as I was constantly juggling a hectic work schedule, so the overall experience was much less daunting than I had initially expected it to be. In the end, I found a place that I absolutely love and there is no chance I would have landed where I am today if I had not been working with someone as acutely aware of the market and dialed into my needs as Clay. He is a total rock star and I would highly recommend him to anyone!"
- D. Summer, Buyer & Seller Client"Clay was very professional and responsive at every moment of our real estate transaction. He was extremely easy to communicate with via phone, text, and email. He took the necessary precautions during the pandemic to ensure safety, facilitated the seller/buyer transaction seamlessly, and assisted with the VA mortgage and condo association requirements. I could not have asked for a better real estate agent. Highly recommend for anyone interested in purchasing or renting their next MD/VA/DC home! "
- Noah H., Seller & Buyer Client"Vici Boguess Took Amazing Care to Understand Our Needs"
"Vici Boguess is fantastic! She took amazing care to understand all of our needs and requirements to make sure that we found a house that fit us. She was always there to provide us sage advice and kept all of our considerations in mind. We are blessed to have gone through the experience with her... The tight coordination between McEnearney Realtors was a pivotal reason we found our home. Vici's knowledge of all of the homes that were coming into the McEnearney stable gave us plenty to choose from."

- M.K., Seller Client"Clay Burke is An Absolute Pleasure to Work With"
"Clay Burke is an outstanding professional. He helped our daughter find her first home without any pressure. He educated her about real estate and advocated for her throughout a complex sale that involved many inspections and contract revisions. Clay was always available and quick to keep us up to date on all relevant information. His guidance was invaluable. Clay was an absolute pleasure to work with and we strongly recommend him."
- B. Hoffman, Buyer Client"Vici and Clay Were By Our Side Throughout"
"Vici and Clay were a pleasure to work with on both the selling and buying sides of our recent real estate transactions. We were relatively inexperienced with the world of real estate and, as busy professionals who travel frequently, we were not always easy to wrangle. But Vici and Clay were supremely patient, understanding yet firm throughout the entire process. We felt taken care of throughout and could tell that they were always acting on behalf of our best interests. They were a true team and without them we would not have been nearly as successful with our two transactions. For us, these were major life decisions and I'm glad that we had Vici and Clay by our side throughout."
- C.H., Seller & Buyer Client"Both Clay and Sissy gave us their all. We could not have asked for more in their understanding of our needs/desires etc. They both were extremely professional."
- H.L."Sissy Zimmerman Exceeded our Expectations"
"Sissy and her team by far exceeded our expectations. She was always very responsive, knowledgeable and joy to work with. She continued to aggressively market our townhouse to the end and really put a lot of work into the sale."
- E.M. & A.M., Seller Client"Clay Burke Exceeded Our Expectations"
"From the moment we reached out to Clay, he exceeded our expectations. He was professional, highly-responsive, provided honest yet respectful feedback on properties, and overall just made us feel comfortable and confident throughout the home buying process. As first-time buyers, we were excited but apprehensive to take the plunge. We had A LOT of questions and Clay took the time to answer each one. We always felt like a priority. One of Clay's strengths is that he's very good at offering honest feedback on properties without ever overstepping. The condo we ended up purchasing was the first one we bid on. It had been on the market for only a couple of days and already had a lot of interest. There were a few competing bids but Clay helped us write a strong offer and negotiate quickly. Being that the property was also brand new construction, Clay walked us through the specifics of the builder contract, inspection, and appraisal. The entire process went unbelievably smooth. Sure, some of that is a testament to the quality of the property itself but we attribute a great deal of it to Clay's hard work. We never once asked ourselves - where are we on X? We always knew what the next step was and how to plan accordingly. We would highly recommend Clay and his team to anyone looking to buy in DC/VA, especially first-time buyers."
- S. Busch, Buyer Client"Vici Boguess provided an incredible level of service and support to our home buying experience. She was very responsive to our texts, calls and quesetions. Whenever, we needed a detailed explanation on something, she took the time to go over it with us until we understood it. We appreciated that she worked hard to understand our needs and our likes/dislikes. Vici's exceptional reputation and relationship with other agents allowed us to gain important knowledge that ultimately allowed us to make a winning bid in one of the most challenging real estate markets in the country in a time period that is almost unprecedented."
- K.A., Buyer Client"Service was exceptional. BBZ was a tremendous help with all the details both of buying and selling. Team was very professional. It was a delight to work with them."
- K. Waugh, Buyer & Seller Client"Above and beyond!. Sissy and her team of Vici Boguess and Clay Burke are the epitome of professional and knowledgeable agents.
