Testimonials

"Hugh and the Sotheby's Team are truly world-class. If you are considering a home purchase in the DC area, I highly recommend you reach out to their team. In an incredibly competitive market, Hugh made the entire process seamless. The trusted relationship he maintains with selling agents across the industry and his deal execution skills resulted in us finding and buying our dream home just 6 weeks after we began our search. He was available 24/7, answering calls and texts throughout the day. We were the first people in nearly every home we liked, and Hugh's understanding and clear explanations of the market and process made this the best possible first-time home-buying experience I can imagine."

"A remarkable experience. From start to finish, Hugh was professional, committed, and strategic as we worked to sell my house. Hugh handled every detail with care, from prepping and staging the home to crafting a smart pricing strategy. His negotiation skills were next-level—firm when it mattered, but always fair. I felt 100% confident knowing he was advocating for me every step of the way. He also brought trust and heart into the process. This wasn’t just a transaction—it was a meaningful transition for me and my family, and he honored that completely. If you’re looking for an agent who is sharp, honest, and committed to your success, Hugh is your guy."

"You want Hugh by your side as you navigate this real estate market and purchase your home. He has an incredible understanding of the real estate market and approaches bids with an aggressive and winning strategy. I now live in my dream condo, and Hugh probably ended up saving me tens of thousands of dollars with his suggested strategy to come in strong with my initial bid to get ahead of a bidding war. Throughout the home-buying process, Hugh was always patient when I asked the same questions over and over and did an excellent job explaining contingencies, strategy, etc. Hugh is responsive, professional, personable, and is a pleasure to have along as you find your home."

"I could go on for days about how wonderful, kind, and thoughtful Hugh was throughout a very stressful process. His "bedside manner" was just fantastic, helping me navigate the homebuying process as a first-time buyer. He listened, made me feel seen, and never pressured me. I raved about Hugh to nearly all of my friends, and I truly do not think he could have made the process any better! Thank you, Hugh!"

"I really can't say enough good things about Hugh and the way he handled the homebuying process for us. As first-time homebuyers looking in a very competitive market, we had a lot of questions and anxiety about the process at first, but were quickly put at ease by Hugh's honest and laid-back approach. Hugh is extremely professional and responsive, and conducts his business with a high level of integrity. He coached us through our search, helped us put together a competitive offer that was within our budget, and a couple of short months later, we are loving our new home. Thank you, Hugh, I will be recommending you to friends for years to come!"

"We met Mr. McDermott two years before we listed our house for sale. He has led us through the entire process as it relates to timing, price, showing our house to prospective purchasers, creating a truly reflective brochure of our home, all while maintaining communications and honoring our own scheduling and timing issues. We cannot recommend an agent who is more professional, honorable, and true to his principles than Hugh McDermott, resulting in a great contract for both us and the purchasers that settled on time and at the right price."

"Hugh has been awesome to work with us throughout our entire home-buying process and beyond. He gracefully pivoted when we went from looking in Alexandria to looking in Bethesda, MD. His calm and patient demeanor was a bonus as he walked us through options and scenarios. He is extremely professional and friendly, which came in handy as he conversed with agents on our behalf. Finally, we are most grateful for the way he advocated for us when an issue arose during the process. Hugh has continued to be helpful to us after closing, as we do some work on our new home."

"Hugh provided the best experience throughout the home-buying process. He is personable, professional, and provides helpful insight. My fiancé and I spent almost every Saturday with him for 2 months looking for the right first home, and we sincerely appreciate his dedication and guidance! We've already let him know we'll be seeking his help when we're ready to upgrade."
