Testimonials
We had a wonderful time on Friday evening at Farm Brewery at Broad Run, an event hosted by Chris Colgan Team! Delicious food, drinks, and perfect weather. Enjoyed meeting two great football legends who signed autographs for the guests. Many thanks, Chris, to you and your team for a special and fun-filled night!! J Godich
Chris is in tune with the Northern Virginia area and real estate market.
I want to express my great gratitude to Miss Paula Ashby for her outstanding service. From our initial consultation to the closing, she demonstrated unparalleled knowledge, negotiation skills, and communication. Her ability to promptly and effectively respond to our text and phone communication and to navigate thru extensive paperwork was impressive. I'm so grateful to have had her by my side throughout this process.
I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a trusted and talented realtor.
Paula Ashby with EXP Realty was excellent to work with on our recent transaction. She worked with several challenges and got things done as a consummate professional. It will be a pleasure to work with her again the next time I'm so fortunate to do so!
The Colgan team as a whole are awesome. Great folks from different backgrounds make for an enjoyable experience. Aside from a solid team, Hanane Kidari has been absolutely amazing! She has been nothing but graceful and accommodating to me and my needs during my home buying journey. She is always open to answering questions and goes out of her way to work with my schedule. This girl literally works while others sleep ensuring the service provided is nothing but the best. Not only have I found a team of great real estate professionals but have found a forever friend with Hanane. 10/10 would recommend Hanane or anyone from the Colgan team to take care of your real state needs.
Great real estate firm! Extremely efficient and prompt communication and management. They are courteous and very professional to work with.
This team rocks!!! This is my second real estate transaction working with the Colgan Team . I’m so grateful for Chris, Maria, and Vanessa for the consistent communication, coordination, and for making the buying AND selling of my first home as smooth as possible. ????????
Great service! I highly recommend them for BOTH buying and selling your home. You don't meet many sincere people like these anymore. Will definitely send any of my family or friends to them if needed!
Going through a divorce was an extremely difficult and emotional process. Part of that process was the sell of my home. Chris was extremely kind, patient, and understanding through the whole process. He was also very communicative, even though I had the added difficulty of living across the United States on the west coast. There were many many ups and downs through the process, but Chris made a very hard thing as smooth of a process as possible. I both purchased and sold my home through him. I recommend him. Thank you to Chris and his team!
Jay Miller is an exceptional Realtor! From the very beginning, he was professional, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to helping me through every step of the buying process. Jay’s communication was always clear and timely, and he went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. His expertise in the market and genuine care for his clients really set him apart. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and results-driven, Jay is your guy. We couldn't be happier with the experience and being first time owners. Thank you Jay.
Kathy Campbell=best realtor out there!! Hooked us up on Father’s Day. Colgan team, best service. Highly recommend
Torrey is an exceptional realtor! His ability to find homes that perfectly matched our criteria was impressive. Despite the challenges of high competition, Torrey's professionalism, punctuality, and polite demeanor never wavered. We're very grateful for his dedication and will absolutely be reaching out to him again when we're ready to jump back into the market.
The Colgan Team are the best realtors in the dmv! They do a great job at making their clients feel taken care of and informed. They invited me to their client party last month and I had a blast. I met Redskins Legends there too! Avery was especially great at keeping us informed on the market and any events they have!
Excellent to work with, extremely professional and knows exactly what he's talking about. The entire team is very knowledgeable and seem like experts! 100% recommend!!
Chris Colgan and his team really know how to make everyone feel like they’re apart of Team Colgan. Their guidance and knowledge on the housing industry for first time buyers is unmatched.
Paula and the Chris Colgan team were truly phenomenal. As a potential first time home buyer I could not have asked for a more professional and caring team to assist my wife and I while we were searching for a place to live while living out of state. Paula was timely, professional, courteous and was everything we could have hoped for from a realtor when searching for a new home. She and the team truly cares! Thank you all!
Professional and efficient. Chris and his Team ensured that everything was handled promptly. making the entire process hassle-free. Great service!
Hanane helped us find our first home. She was absolutely amazing! She is tenacious but kind and kept us informed every step of the way. She encouraged us to take our time and think about what we really wanted in our first home. Not once did we feel pressured to make an offer or look at a home we weren't sure about. We encourage any first time or experienced buyer to reach out to her if they are looking for an honest, kind, and hardworking realtor.
We recently worked with Chris and his team on a real estate closing. He did a great job for his client and has excellent communication skills and knowledge of the real estate market. It was a great experience.
I cannot recommend Megan Ray highly enough as a realtor. From start to finish—both in the sale of our home and the purchase of our new one—Megan negotiated like a seasoned professional. Her ability to navigate tough negotiations, manage difficult sellers and buyers, and still come out with terms that protected and prioritized our interests was nothing short of impressive.
Megan’s attention to detail is unmatched. Whether it was identifying contract red flags, pointing out inspection items others would’ve missed, or managing timelines with precision, she stayed on top of every moving part. What stood out most was her transparency—she kept us informed at every step, never sugarcoated anything, and always made sure we had the facts to make smart decisions.
It’s rare to find someone who combines such sharp business acumen with genuine care for her clients. Megan treats your transaction like it’s her own, and that kind of advocacy is priceless in today’s market. If you’re looking for someone who will fight for your best outcome while keeping you grounded and informed, Megan is the realtor you want on your side.
"I highly recommend Chris & his whole team"
So happy we chose Chris Colgan to help us buy our first home. Patrick Colgan took us to see several listings with no notice. He was great at keeping in contact through the approval process. Chris put together a late night offer on a hot property for us. He negotiated an excellent deal. We are very grateful and we love our new home. I highly recommend Chris & his whole team.
Was very helpful throughout the process and helped answer any questions.
Chris Colgan Real Estate firm has great knowledge, very informative, & understood what exactly l wanted! I highly recommend this outfit!
My husband and I were ready to downsize and we had the best experience working with Torrey as our Realtor. He was patient and knowledgeable and very responsive to helping us find exactly what we were looking for! We chose to buy our new home before listing our family home and now we have the pleasure of continuing to work with Torrey as we sell our family home. We can’t recommend him enough!
An amazing realtor company, if you are in the DMV you must get in touch with the Chris Colgan team specifically Avery!
Peter Van Cleave is a super solid guy! Highly recommended!
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Megan, and I can't recommend her enough. From the very beginning, she was kind, patient, and incredibly understanding of our needs. She took the time to truly listen and never made us feel rushed or pressured. With my long list of wants and the specific needs of our family, this was a task in and of itself—but Megan handled it with grace and determination.
What stood out most was her transparency—she was always honest and upfront, making sure we had all the information we needed to make the best decisions for our family. It was clear throughout the entire process that Megan genuinely cared about finding the right home for us, not just making a sale. She was tremendous in juggling both the sale of our current home and the purchase of our new one, keeping everything organized and on track.
Thanks to her, we found a place we truly love. If you're looking for someone who puts your needs first, guides you with clarity through the real estate process, and treats you like family, Megan is the one!
Chris was awesome super friendly and got me sweet prices on listings . Can’t wait to move forward
The team is great! All the team members are very nice and friendly, and the events are awesome - what great ways to network!
Jay Miller was awesome throughout the whole process answered any questions we had and made sure we understood everything along the way. If we ever decide to buy again the first person we will call will be Jay!
Shows excellent professionalism and detailed knowledge on not only the area, but also the wants of the client
the best customer service ever I highly recommend .
Jay is an outstanding real estate professional—knowledgeable, responsive, and truly experienced. He guided us through the entire process with ease, always available to answer questions and provide clear advice. His deep understanding of the market and attention to detail gave us confidence every step of the way. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling.
"We would recommend him in a heartbeat"
Chris was very diligent in doing his job and he went the extra mile to make sure everything ran as smoothly as possible for us. It was not the easiest transaction, due to the fact that one of us was out of the country, but Chris stayed on top of everything and made the process very easy for us. We would recommend him in a heartbeat.
Kathy was wonderful to work with when we were looking for our home in VA. She was very knowledgeable about the homes and areas. She was willing to go beyond, just to help us, especially always staying in contact and understanding when there was issues with phone reception. It was a pleasure getting to know her.
Peter is highly experienced and truly solid in his knowledge. I really appreciated the way he explained everything when I was planning to buy a house. His clear communication gave me confidence and helped me understand my options. He guided me toward the best decision for my situation.
Extremely professional, well organized and truly knowledgeable group!
Working with the Chris Colgan team will put you in good hands and will get you best price!
Paula is excellent to work with, along with all of the experts at the EXP realty team ???? Thank you all for your help!
Chris Hall is amazing to work with - he helped us get the home of our dreams! He is polite, responsive, and followed up on all details throughout the buying process. He also assisted us in selling our existing house, which went extremely smoothly. We highly recommend Chris Hall and the Chris Colgan Team for anyone looking for the best buying/selling experience, and we look forward to working with them in the future!
This was our first time buying our home as a family of 5. I never felt down talked, or ignorant because they were understanding and patient knowing we were first time buyers. The team also communicated well with both my husband and I, which I’m extremely grateful for because I felt included and important in this process.
(We talked to another realtor OVER a YEAR AGO and she only talked directly to my husband and would cut me off while talking. Guess I didn’t matter to her since I am a stay at home mom)
Thankfully the process went smoothly, and quickly. When we had questions/ concerns the team was quick to respond and explain. We are now in our home and I’m extremely grateful for everyone’s help!
The Colgan Team has been amazing! They keep me informed about market changes in Virginia and helped my brother get a great start in his real estate career with their guidance and support. I highly recommend them!
Amazing experience!
Peter Van Cleave is great, so personable and genuine. Thank you for everything.
Before selecting the Chris Colgan Team, I checked out the competition. Going with the Colgan Team was an easy decision. They literally work at the speed of light because they leverage technology to the customer’s advantage. Finally, there is a group that operates smartly in the 2020s and makes it easy for all.
I connected via the Colgan Team’s easy to navigate website and was contacted promptly by Marissa (Chris’s assistant) via text. She immediately sent a link that provided listings in my area of interest and it allowed me to further tailor my search. In about 20 minutes or less, Paula (showing agent) texted me and we quickly developed a plan. All of this was done in less than 45 minutes — smartly and simply. Did I mention that I planned to arrive in about 2 days? Paula and Chris sent some additional listings to consider. I had the list narrowed to 7. It included resells and builder move-in ready homes.
Paula and I met precisely at 9:00 and began the showings. All of the listings were within walking distance of each other and she had an efficient plan so to not waste time. The walking provided time away from others so that we could discuss each property she showed. Paula’s insights were particularly valuable concerning certain quality details, HOA fee breakdowns and comparisons, and other items not immediately apparent to me. Paula knew that I had 1 day to view properties and she made the most of it. She ensured that I had time to frequently communicate with my wife throughout the day. While the builders’ reps were great, Paula represented me and had my back. She, and later Chris, pressed the builder for additional incentives.
My wife and I made our selection late that day. Within hours we had a contract.
Forget the national companies, go with the Chris Colgan Team. Chris KNOWS the region, especially Loudon County, VA. His YouTube videos are a wealth of information and are told by one from the region — a boots on the ground perspective. Paula and Marissa were, of course highly professional, AND they were highly personable, which made this process easy and fun.
Thank you Chris Colgan Team!
We found Chris on YouTube. Chris is a pleasure to work with. He was able to find our home with what we were looking for. Throughout the process he was patient, supportive, and helpful. Thanks Chris.
Chris Clogan has gone above and beyond in helping me and my wife in our search for a home in the Manassas area. It’s our first time buying and he’s been a blessing. Thank you Clogan Team!
They are extremely knowledgeable at what they do and are an ethical company to deal with. Highly recommend their agency. Not only did they sell the house fast but guided us throughout the whole process. Thank you Chris Colgan Real Estate and staff❣️
Megan is a rockstar!!! She was amazing to work with and was super knowledgeable and communicative throughout our entire buying/selling process. Moving is difficult no matter what, and we’ve done it multiple times already over the last few years, but Megan made this process the easiest it’s ever gone, and we cannot thank her enough. Highly recommend this team to anyone looking to sell/buy, thanks again Megan!
I recently worked with Chris & Paula at Colgan Team/EXP Realty as a real estate photographer, and the entire experience was smooth and professional. They were organized, communicative, and respectful of my time, which made our shoot run efficiently. The properties were well-prepared, and the collaboration felt easy and productive.
It’s clear the Colgan Team/EXP Realty cares about quality and getting things done right. I’m looking forward to working together on future projects and would gladly recommend Chris & Paula to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful real estate professional.

Peter is amazing to work with. He is truly outstanding and hard working! Highly recommend!
"His integrity and attention to detail is so reassuring"
Chris Colgan will work on your behalf at all times. He will advise you what the best plan of action will be for you and your current needs, but at the same time hear your concerns and expectations. He has years of experience and so many accolades have been awarded to him and I'm sure it will continue. His integrity and attention to detail is so reassuring. He is in constant contact with you at all times. I would recommend Chris and can tell you personally you won't need to even think about contacting another realtor. I'm so thankful that he handled the sale of my family home.
Vince McKnight has been great!
Thank you for the help and attentiveness to what I preferred!
Henane was professional, prompt with responses, and always kept us updated. We found a home in just a few weeks after signing with her via the Colgan group, and finding a rental while living in NY was not easy, but she made it so. We look forward to working with her to find our forever home next year!
Chris was incredibly helpful and kind throughout my home search. I chose to work with him because he was always available and eager to assist me. He is one of the few real estate agents who genuinely prioritizes his clients' interests. Chris feels like a true friend who is always ready to help. I don't think I could find a better agent than him. I strongly recommend Chris to anyone in need of real estate assistance.
I had a great experience there that got me into a place I desperately needed and I'm very grateful. Torri Berry was my realtor and he did a phenomenal job he actually went out of his way to make sure I got the right place
Kathy Campbell has made our home buying process so much easier. She has stayed on top of communication & has helped to ease some of the anxieties we all know can come with the purchase of a home. Every step of the way she has made sure we knew what was going on & has kept us up to date. Both of us had previously worked with other agents & those experiences were subpar at best in comparison to working with Kathy. We highly recommend her if you’re looking for an agent that genuinely cares & is knowledgeable!
As a first-time homebuyer, I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. Hanane, with Chris Colgan team was patient, explained everything clearly, and truly had my best interest at heart. She made the process smooth and less stressful, and thanks to her guidance I found the perfect home, will be referring friends and family for sure.
Highly recommend!
Hanane ????
I worked with Peter Van Cleave. He was awesome. We’ve been working with each other since last quarter of 2024 and he was very patient and I felt like I was his only client during that whole time. We also had one deal fall through and he worked very diligently on a Sunday so show me more homes so My family and I had a place to stay when we made it to VA thank you Pete!
I was paired with Jay Miller. I am very impressed with his experience, knowledge and professionalism. I, as first time land buyer, really needed someone to hand hold me and Jay was just the right person as he is always patient and thorough. I learned a lot through him in the land buying process!
