MaryEllen Rubenstein is a consummate professional in real estate. From start to finish, Mary Ellen was reliable, helpful, patient, kind, and knowledgeable. She listened to me and gave me her advice when appropriate or requested. She communicated with me every step of the way and was immediately responsive when I needed her. I never felt pressured or rushed. I had a feeling that she and I were a team. I would be delighted to recommend her to anyone needing a real estate agent.

MaryEllen has been a longtime friend. Over the last few years she has talked with my husband and me about the real estate market and what our next move should be. She happily showed us numerous properties. There was no pressure to make a move until we were ready. When we found a property that excited us, we listed our house, sold it in 2 days and closed on our new home within 2 weeks. It was stressful, but MaryEllen was there to "hold our hands" the entire time.

We had an excellent experience working with Maryellen Rubenstein as our real estate agent. She brought extensive knowledge of the local market and provided clear, thoughtful guidance that helped us make confident decisions throughout the sale. Maryellen’s expertise in managing the legal and financial aspects of selling a home was invaluable. She handled every detail with care and precision, ensuring the process moved forward smoothly while protecting our interests. Equally important was her patience and steady professionalism. She took the time to explain each step, answered questions thoroughly, and moved the sale forward without pressure. Throug...

Mary Ellen is the epitome of professionalism, courtesy, and patience. For about 9 years she has worked with us to find a "downsized" home in the area and always has been available to meet, advise, and listen. She is a credit to your company.

It was such a pleasure working with MaryEllen on the sale of our home. She is very knowledgeable about the market and was an outstanding resource throughout the process of preparing our home for the market, setting the price and negotiating the sale. We were particularly glad that we contacted her early in the process because she gave us excellent advice about which home projects (e.g., painting) likely would be most important to prospective buyers. We were very happy with the outcome. We received an offer within the first few days, and the sale closed within a month.

This is my 3rd move using Maryellen as my re agent so you can imagine she's one of the best. Maryellen is extremely savvy in all aspects of the selling process: firm when she knows the needs of the home and the market as well as a deeply trusting agent (now a friend) and empathetic listener. She knows what needs to be done and helps you through it all. She is fair, honest, caring, and goes above and beyond in all ways. Choose Maryellen and you will never be disappointed.

I am glad we had MaryEllen as our agent. She was very knowledgeable, and she was always available to answer my questions. I would definitely use her as my agent should the need arise.

Mary Ellen and Marissa were a pleasure to work with! They went above and beyond to help make sure our poperty was at it's best to sell and to market the listing. We were in another state during much of the time our house was for sale. It was wonderful to know that Mary Ellen and Marissa had everything under control.

Working with Mary Ellen Rubenstein was an absolute game-changer for me. From the very beginning, her expertise and personalized guidance made the entire home-selling process feel manageable. I truly don't know if I could have navigated everything without her support and dedication. Mary Ellen's deep knowledge of the Brambleton market was evident in every step, from my initial consultation to the final closing. She was a fantastic communicator, always keeping me informed and staying one step ahead of any potential issues. Her professionalism, positive attitude, and genuine care for her clients helped me feel confident and stress-free. I am so g...

MaryEllen has been our agent for the sale or purchase of 5 homes. She is an absolute superstar! Not only did this last home go under contract on the first day on the market, it did so on the first showing for $50,000 over the asking price. The transaction was easy, seamless, and without a glitch of any kind. Although we have moved out of state for retirement, we would recommend MaryEllen to friends and former neighbors enthusiastically and without any hesitation. For us, there simply isn't a better agent available.

I reached out to MaryEllen to guide us through the sale of our home. She was professional and we knew each step that was to happen and MaryEllen was available to us always when we had questions. The closing of our home was so comfortable. We had total confidence in her abilities and she was there all the way through the sale and closing of our home. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a realtor.

What truly sets Mary Ellen apart is her unwavering dedication to making the entire process smooth and stress-free. From start to finish, she was incredibly proactive, always keeping us informed and ensuring we stayed on track. She expertly handled all negotiations, securing the best deal possible for us. No detail, no matter how small, was overlooked—everything was managed with the utmost care and precision. Thanks to Mary Ellen’s exceptional support, we never once had to worry about any aspect of the transaction. Her deep knowledge of the local market and commitment to excellence truly made all the difference.

I was so lucky to find MaryEllen during my house search. She was an incredible realtor who taught me so much about the home buying process and made it a lot easier on me! I am so grateful for her help these past couple of years and I am glad to have finally found a home to call mine.

MaryEllen Rubenstein was outstanding in helping us navigate through the successful sale of our home in Reston. We are so glad we selected her as our realtor as she really worked with us to determine what improvements would add value to the home, helped us to manage the stress and anxiety of the buyers' offers, stepped in to check on things, especially the pool, when we were out of town, and negotiated an awesome sale for us! We would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a positive real estate transaction experience.

MaryEllen Rubenstein communicated the selling process well and then created an atmosphere where we worked as a team with excellent outcomes. She was a delight!

Pleasure working with you again MaryEllen! Thanks for everything

Mary Ellen did an extremely good job helping us sell our recently deceased mother's house. She was on top of it all the way through, and did a few things that were really above and beyond our expectations. Her knowledge of some of the odd things about selling real estate in Reston really came into play as well. I would highly recommend Mary Ellen to anyone buying or selling property! Simply a fantastic agent.

I have worked with Mary Ellen on a number of home sales and purchases, she has been exceptional. She always goes the extra mile. I was moving from FL back to VA and she went to a number of houses and toured them for me. She knew what I was looking for and was instrumental in finding my eventual home purchase.

Mary Ellen was fantastic. She was responsive, well-informed, and guided us carefully through our very first home buying process. She took the time to really understand our needs and always made us feel like our goals were the most important thing to her. We felt that we could deeply trust her. Everything went smoothly and we would recommend her to anyone looking n the future.

I've known Mary Ellen for quite a few years - our daughters went to school together. When I made the decision to sell, she was the only agent I considered. Mary Ellen far exceeded my expectations. She walked with me and held my hand as we went through the process of getting my house acceptable for the buyer. I was very anxious about all of it, but Mary Ellen had my back the entire time, and there was a great result. We had a buyer before even going to market, so we didn't do any advertising. There was quite a bit of work that needed to be done before selling, which is why it took a bit longer than I expected. The buyer hung in there as we made the...

A fantastic broker. Got the job done with no pressure and in a competent manner. A real pro. Fun and easy to work with. Clear communications. Trustworthy!

Mary Ellen was terrific. She answered calls in the appropriate time, She was available with support and guidance when needed. Made everything crystal clear and went out of her way to make sure things went smoothly.

When faced with the decision of starting the next chapter of my life in a new home, there was no question in my mind that the person I wanted by my side was Mary Ellen Rubenstein. Having worked with her 18 years ago on the sale and purchase of a home, I was familiar with her professionalism, as well as her empathetic nature. Her experience in the real estate market over the years is invaluable. Every detail was handled with Mary Ellen’s usual unflappable grace. And her hand-holding, albeit virtually, is second to none. Thanks to Mary Ellen everything went smoothly, and I’m on my way to starting my next chapter!

We have used Mary Ellen for three transactions. She is both highly professional and very personable. She is an invaluable resource for vendor referrals if one needs a contractor, lender, etc.

Mary Ellen is an excellent broker. She was extremely well organized and very responsive. She was very patient, was not pushy, and listened to what we wanted when we were searching for a new home. She had great references for tradespeople to help prep our home before selling. She priced and marketed our house really well so that we ended up with multiple offers and sold over asking price. She represented us well to the other agents, loan officers, title company, etc. Overall, we were very pleased with her services and will refer her to others.

Mary Ellen was very knowledgeable and provided excellent advice and guidance. Mary Ellen was wonderful to work with. She really was extremely helpful and very responsive. I felt very comfortable with her and trusted her completely. I would highly recommend Mary Ellen. She really made the process of selling my home go so smoothly. She also goes out of her way to be helpful and supportive throughout the process.

Mary Ellen Rubenstein is an excellent representative of the real estate world. She knows and understands the local market very well. She explain the whole process in a very simple way, from getting our home ready for the market and throughout the last minute of closing. She was with us throughout the whole sales process and guided us throughout it. I highly recommend her.

When you’ve lived in a house for 36 years and brought up three children in it, whose the agent you want by your side, when the perfect family comes along who wants their children to grow up in this perfect house, Mary Ellen Rubenstein. She’s there for you to answer all questions, guide you through the process, and support your emotions. She’s just a text away no matter what the time. I can’t say enough good things about her. Oh and let’s not forget the great recommendations she gives you for movers and people to help move you! Leaving after 36 years is hard but Mary Ellen has made the process easy!

Mary Ellen exceeded our expectations for a realtor. We had absolutely no hiccups in the process - which never happens! Her use of social media is leading edge - 3d tour, drone video, amazing pictures and the website reach is exactly what is needed in this market. From the day we signed the contract, she was on top of every detail. She truly made the selling experience easy for us. HIGHLY recommend her to all of our friends and co workers.

She is the best, super professional. My husband and I are really impressed and happy with her performance.

Mary Ellen was an amazing help! I have purchased homes in the past with different realtors and none of them compared to the hard work and dedication that Mary Ellen showed when dealing with me and what I was looking for. Her work ethic far exceeds any realtor I have ever dealt with. I will not deal with anyone else in the future besides Mary Ellen. She was patient, understanding, professional and most importantly she cared. I will not recommend anyone but Mary Ellen as well. She was that good. Thank you Mary Ellen!

Mary Ellen Rubenstein has the 3 P's we were looking for on our journey. She is professional, prepared, and polite! She provided fantastic guidance and was available to us for all of the questions and handled all of the myriad of changes (appointments, new houses on market, others off, etc) that are part of the house buying process. And something that you can't fake, we could tell she genuinely cared about us and wanted to make sure we were comfortable with the process and ask all the right questions of us to better serve our needs. It was due to Mary Ellen's experience that we were able to package our offer the right way to win the bid on the hous...

We previously worked with Mary Ellen when we bought our first townhouse 6 years ago. We knew she would do another wonderful job with our newest search of a single family home. Mary Ellen is polite and kind, she is responsive and responds to emails/ texts/ phone calls quickly, she knows her stuff and delivers the information you need to know in ways that make you feel respected and appreciated. The task in finding our home was not exactly easy, during a pandemic and during a sellers market. When there were no houses coming on the market, she still kept in constant communication and reassured us that we would be finding our dream home and she delivered!

We had worked with Mary Ellen on six previous real estate transactions. There never was any question as to who we would trust with the recent sale of our home.

Mary Ellen was referred to us when she was with Coldwell Banker and we were considering moving in 2014. We put our move on hold. Mary Ellen and I stayed in touch over the years and she was who we contacted when the time came to sell. We could not have had such a smooth sale without Mary Ellen's help. We always knew we were in good hands selling when we no longer lived in Virginia. If there was a category higher than excellent I would have chosen it. How about OUTSTANDING!

This was our sixth real estate transaction handled by Mary Ellen Rubenstein. The success we enjoyed during the first five transactions made it a no-brainer to continue working with her. This was the smoothest transaction I can remember ever having. Fast sale, fast close, got more than asking, not a single hiccup. Mary Ellen is a solid professional in every sense of the word. She is a pleasure to do business with. We would happily work with her again and give her our highest recommendation!

We appreciate all your advice and guidance prior to putting it on the market, during and after. Thanks very much!

In the past ten years, my wife Lynn and I have relied on Mary Ellen Rubenstein to sell three properties, and when we purchased two properties. We have recently used her to purchase one, and will to sell one in the very near future. In addition, two of our adult children have each relied on Mary Ellen Rubenstein when purchasing properties. In every instance, the transactions have come together like clockwork. Need I say more?

Mary Ellen was a pleasure to work with. Her professionalism, knowledge of the area, negotiation skills and personality made my home purchase a very easy transaction. She listened, understood my needs and provided excellent service throughout the process.

Mary Ellen is professional and knowledgeable, and really works hard to understand her clients needs. If you're considering her to be your realtor, consider no longer. Just say yes!

This is our fifth transaction with Mary Ellen and it won’t be the last. She is an absolute pleasure to work with, is highly knowledgeable about the local market and we count on her for referrals to many other professionals necessary to complete the transaction. The entire transaction to purchase our home took place without so much as a hiccup.

I cannot recommend Mary Ellen highly enough. In preparing to sell the house, I interviewed three brokers. Mary Ellen was head and shoulders above the other two candidates, one of whom is also active in the area and has a relatively high profile. Mary Ellen's professionalism and knowledge of the market was apparent from the first moments of our initial meeting. Mary Ellen went on manage the sales process exquisitely. I received an offer at list price without having to stage the property or have open houses, etc. She leveraged her network to achieve the optimal results, get the list price, with the least amount of hassle. I cannot over emphasize ...

First time home buyer, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Mary Ellen is great at reading the situational cues and providing you what you need. If you want someone hands off, she'll do that. If you want an aggressive negotiator, she'll do that too. Very knowledgeable about the area, along with all facets of the house, inspections, etc.

I’m not technically the first time home buyer, but was not familiar with home buying process at all and needed lots of ‘hand holding’. Mary Ellen was very kind and patient with me and my daughter every step of the way and made the whole process pleasant and painless. I’d recommend Mary Ellen to any and every home buyer!

Thank you Maryellen for your guidance, thoroughness and professionalism during our relocation. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience during what is a hectic and anxious time.

Mary Ellen Rubenstein has been helpful from start to finish in her engagement with us as well as managing expectations, supporting us through many decisions, providing painting, plumbing and staging support. It had been a long time since our last home sale and most everything has changed. Even after the sale, she has returned all our calls and answered our questions. Moving has been a huge change in our lives. Mary Ellen made the process less stressful. We're extremely satisfied with our home sale experience and would recommend her highly.

Always accessible, professional and just a super pleasant person to work with.

Mary Ellen impressed us from the beginning. She listened to our needs and came up with a comprehensive plan to sell our home. She was supportive and very helpful through the entire process. She interfaced directly with our relocation company and promptly responded to their requests. We interviewed 3 realtors and Mary Ellen was the clear choice!

This is our second transaction made with Mary Ellen’s help. Both sales were for under $300,000. But Mary Ellen treated us like million dollar customers. Besides her warmth and professionalism we have really appreciated her ability to help us find contractors for various repairs and upgrades.

As a first-time home buyer, I really didn't know what was out there. Mary Ellen helped me figure out exactly what I wanted and worked around the clock (and while on vacation!) until I finally found the perfect home. She made the process easy with prompt and helpful communication and went out of her way to cater to my needs. I 100% recommend Mary Ellen to anyone looking for a professional and caring realtor.

Mary Ellen Rubenstein was great to work with for the purchase of my new home.

Mary Ellen Rubenstein is GREAT. She is knowledgeable, professional, straight-forward, and friendly. She answered all of our questions, offered suggestions, and delivered truly personal service. We have already recommended her to friends and will not hesitate to contact her again for our future real estate needs.

Thank you Mary Ellen for all your hard work! We will miss you!

Mary Ellen was very professional and gave great advice on how to market the house and worked with us to get a sale at a price we wanted. Mary Ellen was always available to answer concerns we had and to guide us through the process. Mary Ellen definitely is a top notch real estate professional and one I would recommend to friends looking to sell a house. My husband first meet Mary Ellen in a social situation and was greatly impressed by her knowledge and commitment to working with sellers. That is one of the main reasons we chose her to be our realtor.

Mary Ellen Rubinstein was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, efficient, and delightful to work with.

Mary Ellen Rubenstein is professional and thorough. Her knowledge of the Reston area really showed as she worked with me to find a home that fit my needs. She was also friendly, approachable, and excellent at keeping in timely contact with me and the selling agent. While buying a home for the first time is fairly intimidating, Mary Ellen and Century 21 Redwood helped make the entire process approachable and helped me find a home I love.

We have been working with Mary Ellen since we moved to the area in 2014. She is an excellent agent and ALWAYS has the best interests of her clients at heart. She does an impeccable job communicating during all phases of the process and conducts all of her transactions in the most ethical manner!

Mary Ellen was a joy to work with. Her attitude was positive and encouraging, relieving our anxieties about our house sale. She moved us efficiently through the process, was always professional, and looked out for our best interests. She took the time to explain everything along the way and was very proactive. She was always available and responsive to our questions. Mary Ellen represented Century 21 very well, and we knew she had the backing of a solid organization. On several occasions she consulted with her colleagues and this made us confident we were getting the best advice.

We knew Mary Ellen previously and we're very confident that she would be able to help move our property in the market place. Suzanne Parisi also deserves great credit in assisting with negotiations with the buyer's agent. It was great teamwork and both agents sold the home in 2 days.

This latest home purchase was our fifth transaction with Mary Ellen. She is always a pleasure to work with and we have great trust in her. She takes care of the property whether we are buying or selling as if she is our partner in the transaction and it feels as if she is a member of our family. This has been enormously helpful to us as we have often been away or were remote during the transactions. We are quite confident we will be working with Mary Ellen again on more real estate transactions in the future. We are becoming more interested in buying homes to restore and resell. Working with Mary Ellen gives us confidence in this potentially risky e...

Mary Ellen was a great resource and incredibly helpful. As first-time homebuyers, we had no idea where to start, and she made finding and buying a home so easy for us. Mary Ellen was a blessing. She was very patient and knowledgeable about the area, housing code (for example, we saw several houses that advertised a "bedroom" that wasn't a legal bedroom), resale value, and updates that a house might need. Mary Ellen was very professional and on top of all the details related to the contract and contingencies. We really enjoyed working with Mary Ellen and think very highly of her. We'd highly recommend her and would definitely hire her again if we...

Mary Ellen Rubenstein is an agent with a "can do" attitude who was readily available and always found a way to make things happen without any hesitation. She was calm, efficient and friendly, always taking the time to give us feedback after every showing and was quick to follow up at all times. There was nothing left undone. Her professionalism went a long way in assuring us through every step of the process of selling our home!

This is the 2nd house ME has sold for us. The current sale has been a 2 yr process. ME came over twice in the last 2 yrs to work with us on how to best get ready for a sale (but we werent even sure we were ever putting it on the mkt). The showing and sale were easy because of ME's expertise and approach to really work for us. She even provided extensive guidence (when asked) regarding our purchase of a new home in Crozet (out of her region). She reviewed contracts and helped us ask the right questions. She was the most critical and influential member of our team in our relocation. We could not have done it without her. We received an over asking pri...

It says a lot when your agent loses sleep the night you're waiting to hear if your offer is accepted. We can tell she truly cared about finding the house that was meant for us. Mary Ellen worked with high attention to detail at every step of our journey. As a first-time home buyer, she carefully explains aspects of the home evaluation and terms of purchase. She also went above and beyond to protect us from potential extra costs from our seller requests. She made herself available at all times and worked quickly with the seller's agent to get us answers. We cannot thank Mary Ellen enough for her help in buying our home!

We were referred to Mary Ellen by my cousin. Mary Ellen provided excellent service and representation. She was invariably early to all appointments. She was scrupulously ethical in all of her dealings with us and other brokers and sellers. She was proactive in researching and finding homes for us. She was very flexible and responsive in meeting us to look at properties. She even re-arranged her vacation so she would be available to show us houses. She carefully explained all of the terms of the contract of sale and provided good advice in making offers on houses. She was aggressive on our behalf with the seller's broker in seeking to resolve issues ...

Working with Mary Ellen was an absolute pleasure. As first-time homebuyers, my girlfriend and I were unsure about the whole process, but she guided us through with incredible expertise. She helped us put in an offer and closed the deal in less than a month! The entire experience was seamless, thanks to her dedication and attention to detail. Her ability to understand our needs and find the perfect property was truly impressive. I can’t thank her enough for making our dream of owning a home a reality. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and efficient real estate agent. Our real estate agent's exceptional communication sk...

And, in the end, she got me a good price! As a result, she put me at ease throughout the entire process. I would without any hesitation recommend MaryEllen Rubenstein to anybody looking for a truly professional realtor.
