Nonso Nzegwu2025-01-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Buying a home can be incredibly stressful, but working with Juan Granados and the North Capitol Group turned the experience into a breeze! From our initial consultation to closing day, Juan was a true professional. He patiently guided us through each step, answered all our questions (no matter how small!), and made sure we felt comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. Juan's expertise and dedication aren't unusual because three years ago, we experienced the same treatment as he helped us sell our home. He's always available, incredibly responsive, and went above and beyond to ensure we found the perfect home for our needs. His team at North Capitol Group was equally fantastic, providing excellent support and resources. Big ups to Juan, Lakesha and the North Capitol Group, we are now happily settled in our dream home. We highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a smooth, supportive, and successful home buying experience!

Juan demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and dedication throughout the entire process, earning him a well-deserved A Plus rating in our book. We entrusted Juan with the sale of our late father's income property, a valuable asset that had been in our family for over thirty years. Given the complexities involved, including navigating Washington DC's tenant-landlord laws and coordinating with long-term tenants, we needed someone with profound knowledge and experience. Juan rose to the occasion admirably. His adept handling of the various moving parts ensured a smooth and successful transaction. Juan's expertise was invaluable in guiding us through the process, addressing any concerns or challenges that arose along the way. He went above and beyond to ensure that our interests were protected and that the deal was executed efficiently. We were initially referred to Juan by a friend who had also benefited from his exceptional service. After experiencing firsthand his professionalism and dedication, we understand why she chose him as her realtor without hesitation. Juan's reputation as the go-to realtor in the DC Metro area is well-deserved, and we wholeheartedly echo that sentiment. Without reservation, we highly recommend Juan Granados to anyone in need of a top-notch realtor. His commitment to excellence and unwavering support make him a standout in his field. We are immensely grateful for his assistance and look forward to enthusiastically referring him to our friends and family in the future. Thank you, Juan, for exceeding our expectations and making the selling process a positive and rewarding experience.Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 72 reviews
