"If you have a chance to work with Branches Realty, Take it. They are collaborative and work tirelessly to find the right solution for their clients. We had very specific needs (4+ bedrooms and MIL apt zoned for our kid's existing schools that we could afford) and Branches knocked it out of the park. My husband and I had some life changes that led to needing more space while living in our first home. Licia Galinsky and her team at Branches helped us determine whether it was a better investment to renovate or sell or buy a different house. We spent hours and hours trying to arrange quotes, meet contractors and architects, etc. It was time-consuming and frustrating. Licia came in, evaluated our property, and got us the information we needed that week. Once the decision was made to sell, we were able to go from living in our home to staged and ready to sell in less than 21 days (including landscaping, internal or external painting, junk removal, and packing and storage). When it came to negotiating, Licia was solidly in our corner expertly negotiating on our behalf. She was honest and conducted herself with the utmost integrity through both transactions (the sale of our old house and buying a new house). She made a very stressful time go as smoothly as possible. I can't say enough good things about Licia's (and her team's) work."

"My husband and I wanted to buy a retirement house in this area while still living in CT. The smartest thing we did was to enlist Licia's help. She really is the smart, personable, kind human being and hard working, not-pushy, highly experienced professional you dream of. We took advantage of her encyclopedic knowledge of Silver Spring, Chevy Chase, Takoma Park, DC, University Park, Kensington, Wheaton etc. to help narrow our geographic focus. She immediately grasped our priorities and deal breakers, and she didn't waste a minute of our time. Licia is tireless, upbeat and confident after a long personal experience in real estate development and representing buyers and sellers. That positive attitude is important because house hunting can be a real drag. Licia kept reminding me that we would find the right house, and much sooner than I expected, we found the perfect house in the perfect location. She then steered us painlessly through an excellent negotiation and all the endless minutia of buying a house. We couldn't be happier. Since then, she has gone above and beyond to help us with what we want for the house. We feel very lucky and grateful we found Licia and Branches with its architect and pool of talent and resources. My husband and I happily and highly recommend you team up with Licia to make your dreams come true."

"We can't speak more highly of Licia at Branches Realty. Her deep knowledge of the Silver Spring / Takoma Park area, combined with her limitless patience and enthusiasm for house-hunting, helped us find the perfect home for us. We were ready to buy a house but hadn't started the process in earnest and were daunted by all it entailed. Licia made it fun and easy. Over the course of two months she took us to dozens of different homes in the area, and sent us more to check out on our own. We were impressed at how she really listened to what we were looking for in a home and seemed genuinely excited to introduce us to various options that could fit our needs. When we were finally ready to put in an offer, she negotiated a great deal for us, handled all the details smoothly and efficiently, and patiently explained every step of the process to us first-time homebuyers and real estate novices. We couldn't have been happier with both the process and the outcome, and we've recommended Licia to all our friends looking to buy a home in the area."

"We cannot say enough about how helpful, effective, and reliable Licia and her whole team were during our home-buying process. This was my first time buying a home, my wife's second, and Licia was incredibly patient and kept us on track to get through the process successfully. She wrote offers that were very competitive and gave us great advice. Licia was also very accessible and could be relied upon to either answer the phone, text and email right away or very quickly. When buying a home, there are a ton of other service providers and companies involved every professional Licia recommended also operated with the same high level of professionalism and reliability. We are so happy with our new home and so grateful to Licia and Branches Realty."

"We cannot say enough about Licia Galinsky and her team at Branches Realty. After reaching out to Licia about selling our home, she met with us the next day, had an excellent pricing strategy, and helped us get the house in good shape. She went WAY above and beyond to host an open house that showcased not only our home but also the surrounding neighborhood. Within just a few days of being on the market, we had multiple offers. Licia was in constant communication, provided excellent guidance, and was just a lovely person to work with. The process was more smooth and successful than we ever could have imagined, and we are so thankful for the chance to have gotten to know Licia."
