Missy knows the local market! She had taken the reins and got our townhouse sold quickly!...(Being out of state, this was important). She was incredibly in tune with last minute fixes and upgrades to enhance the property, and the contractors to do them. Missy was able to talk me through all the confusing aspects of selling... Her honestly, and ideas helped move the property quickly! I would highly recommend Missy and her knowledgeable and helpful team for any real estate dealings in the F-burg/Stafford/Quantico are All!

This was the third time that Missy Walden has assisted me and my family. As anyone that has a military family knows, moving can be a very stressful process-to include the home buying/selling process. I can honestly say I do not believe I could have had a successful military move (twice) without Missy and her Team. There was a 3 year gap between the first time Missy assisted us (buying & selling) and this most recent home purchase. There was no question or hesitation whether or not to seek Missy's assistance, again. Some people have to go through several realtors to find the one that has their best interest at heart and will remain 100% dedicated to them-I was fortunate enough to not have to go through that process.
To military families- Missy and her team will make it work. She understands and accommodates any unexpected changes that can occur during a PCS move.
Missy Walden and the rest of the Walden Team are not only truly great professionals, but also are wonderful people. I can not imagine the quality services they provide being matched or be greater with anyone else.

We initially contacted Missy to tour a house she had listed; when we realized that the house may not be right for our family's needs right now (because of an elderly relative) we continued to work with Missy to find the right home. Missy provided detailed information that other realtors never offered us in our many months of looking for houses in northern Virginia. She pursued new construction options for us, as well. Though very pleased with Missy and her team, we ended up in a community outside of the Fredericksburg area. It was hard to leave her guidance and enthusiasm. We are writing this review to say that if you are house hunting in Missy's area, you would do well to look her up. After contacting four previous realtors in other Virginia communities, Missy was the first realtor we felt was working diligently for our interests.

After working with Missy for the past year, we found that Missy is energetic, respectful, and patient. She took the time to find us the right home and impressed us with her experience and knowledge, She knows her stuff!
Not only does Missy have the experience and knowledge required to find the right home for you, but you just might make a life-long friend as well.

Missy and her team are by far the best choice for selling your house. She took the time to go through every part of the short sale. Due to a fast move to NJ, I had to do something with my house in NoVA. She and her team performed a short sale the home. This saved my home from being foreclosed on.
There are options, and she knows them! Don't "give your home back to the bank". Talk to her, she is a problem solver!

The best real estate agent we've ever experienced. We bought an older home and Missy's team, their knowledge, patience, and honesty helped in our financial and renovation concerns and overall decisions. Communication throughout the entire process of buying was beyond expectations. We are now selling our existing home with her because we trust she will represent us to her best ability. Missy is upfront and ready to give 100+ percent for all her clients!

Missy is a wonderful agent to work with! As a first-time homeowner and new Stafford, VA resident, I was pretty overwhelmed with questions. From beginning to end, Missy provided great local and real estate insights and information. Her team was very thorough, trustworthy and professional. I would recommend her to anyone looking to build or buy a new home!

Missy Walden and her team are the best! We recently purchased a home and Missy was so impressed with her knowledge, patience, and responsiveness every step of the way! She along with her team kept us involved, respond to questions, and proactively managed all transactions. Long after the sale, she continues to check in to make sure we are doing well in our new home. She helped us find the home that is perfect for us and we love it.. We couldn't have done it without the Walden Team. We highly recommended her for all your realtor needs!

Missy is both professional and personable. We had an amazing experience and walked away with our dream home for a dream price. She truly fought for what we wanted and didn't finish until we got it.

We were moving to town from another state and only had 1 day to look at homes. We found our house that day, made an offer, had competed for offers and won out in the end. Missy and her team made the out of state purchase easy for us, she came to the home inspection and we did everything but the closing online. It was fantastic. We love our house and neighborhood. If and when we decide to move we'll be using Missy again. :)

Ultimate professional. Went out of her way to make this deal happen. Assisted in both the rental and sale of the home while we were no longer in the geographical area.

I could not have been more happy with the support Missy provided. From the very beginning, all the way through the closing, she responded quickly to our every concern or question. Due to her quick response time and expert knowledge of the process, along with the support of the lender, we were able to close in only 3 weeks! I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Ms. Walden was referred to me by family and was described as "The Best in the Business". We were not let down!
Our moving circumstances were a bit unusual and made it difficult for us to view potential homes. Ms. Walden was more than willing to accommodate my requests and more than proved her reputation as "The Best in the Business".
I will certainly be referring any family and friends I know looking to buy or sell in the Northern Virginia area to Ms. Walden and the Walden Team!

Missy and her team are by far the best realtors in the Northern Virginia area. Her expertise in getting our house noticed and sold were second to none. We live in a different state and she and her team went above and beyond to get projects, inspections, etc completed. She personally went to our house to take care of issues since we were not available. We would highly recommend her to sell your home. She puts her clients first. Cynthia her assistant is amazing. Her response times to questions are immediate. Every step of the way they communicated the process. We would highly recommend Missy and her team for your buying and selling needs. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Missy Walden provided me and my family with much much more than just finding us the perfect home. Her encouragement when I started getting 'down was to remind me that we should "never say quit". Missy' knowledge of the area and the housing market.., along with her expertise in buying a home and dealing the sellers and other agents were very encouraging and calming to me through the whole process. And she put me in touch with the most amazing lender, ms sandy Grimes. There is no way to thank the two of you enough

My husband and I worked with Missy Walden to assist with the purchase of our first home, and we were extremely pleased with her people skills, her ability to communicate effectively, and her diligence in making sure we were constantly informed throughout the process by texting, calling, and emailing in the early mornings, and even late nights. As a service member, we sometimes need someone who is willing to cover down and fill in the gaps when we can't, and Missy was that person for us; she covered down for me while I was away in training and she assured us that we didn't have to worry about a thing because she and her team had the "Brown" family covered. I will also add that I didn't physically see our home until the day before closing, which for me meant that Missy provided me with the assurance from the beginning that made me comfortable enough to trust her with helping us close on our first home.
In addition, my husband and mother-in-law had the pleasure of meeting Missy during the viewing of our dream home and they were extremely pleased with her warm welcome, and her desire to serve us. We highly recommend Missy and her team to assist with your real estate needs. Missy Walden is the truth; she's professional, genuine, reliable, and was willing to go above and beyond to satisfy our home buying needs. Missy will always have a special place in our hearts because she helped make our dream a reality. Much and love respect!

Missy is an exceptionally good realtor. She is very knowledgeable and takes time to explain the details. She is personable and makes people comfortable with the process. She sold my mom's home for us. Her team staged and just made it extremely easy to sell! It looked beautiful when she got done and sold very quickly!
Not only is Missy very good but she also employs great people. Cynthia responds to questions very quickly, even well after working hours. The title company she uses makes the settlement very easy and low stress.
This team is FANTASTIC!

Missy and her crew were so helpful from the very beginning with the process of buying our first home. Even with the difficulties of us being located in Japan during the entire process, Missy quickly found ways around each difficulty we encountered and was so flexible. She took down every detail during our walkthrough and it always felt like she was on our side, treating us like friends/family, and wanting the very best outcome for us. She truly went the extra mile for us and we are so grateful. We are looking forward to working with her again!

We have bought, sold, and built 3 homes in the last 5 years; we consider ourselves well versed in real estate and honestly hate(d) using agents. That is until we met Missy and her team. Missy was our savior while we were relocating from Washington State. My husband was already in VA working and I was still back in WA with our 1-year-old. We flew in, along with my mother in law who came in from Maine, to spend only a few days to look at a number of homes all over Fredericksburg. We had never been in Fredericksburg and Missy was able to explain the layout of the land and suggest neighborhoods and areas that we may be interested in. We had very limited time and Missy was able to show us a large number of homes in a short time, accommodating our schedule (including stopping for nursing breaks). Additionally, she introduced us to Sandy Grimes at America's Choice Mortgage who rocked our socks off with a quick pre-approval letter and even educated us on some rebate options that we had never heard of before.
When we found a home we loved, the buyer-seller was extremely difficult and didn't want to deal with us because we were using a VA loan. Sandy and Missy teamed up to help educate the seller's agent, and the seller, about the VA process. Missy was able to successfully achieve a ratified contract on our behalf, and we closed in August!
We would absolutely use Missy and The Walden Team again in the future. We had worked with agents from big companies in the past and dislike how aggressive they are trained to be; it was refreshing to contact Missy and not be pressured to look at certain homes or make an offer right away on something. We felt like she was working for us, not for a commission. She even bought us a home warranty as a closing gift! We appreciated Missy's direct communication style and ability to "get it done" when we were stressed to the max and just wanted someone to take care of things while we focused on the huge move in front of us. THANK YOU, Missy and team, for being such an awesome group of professionals to work with. We hopefully won't be moving again in the near future but will be contacting Missy when we do. Less

The entire Walden team made our first time home buying experience a pleasure. We tend to be on the picky side, but they remained patient and addressed our concerns in a manner that made us comfortable.

Working with Missy and her team was a great experience. At the end of 2016, we found ourselves living on the West coast with a house to sell on the East coast. Missy managed all the repairs to the house, took professional photos for the listing and then got the house listed and under contract right away. Missy's attention to detail and ability to listen to her client's needs is something rare in the Real Estate world. Missy truly is a no-nonsense Realtor who is a dream to work with. I would recommend Missy to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Virginia. Less

There are not enough good things that I can say about The Walden Team. Missy and her team walked me through every step of the process of selling my home. She assured me we could get the asking price that I wanted when other realtors told me I couldn’t get that amount and she was right. She takes her customers through a step-by-step process that I believe guarantees success if you are willing to do the work required to sell your home. She was there for me at every turn. Her guidance for getting the house ready was amazing, she walked me through each room going over what she thought I should do to get the house ready prior to putting it on the market. Without her guidance I know I would not have gotten my asking price. We achieved every goal we set for selling my home. Missy is one of the most professional and knowledgeable realtors I’ve ever met, she goes out of her way to make sure her customer has the best possible experience. Her team Is proactive instead of reactive. By the time the house was ready to go onto the market there was nothing else to do but let the house sell itself. The house looked so good that I even considered not putting it on the market, it looked so good! If I had it to do again the Walden Team would be my only choice by far!

This is the third time Missy has taken care of me. I have purchased 2 houses and sold one with her. She and her team goes above and beyond for her clients. Missy worked as my buyers agent this time, she was amazing! It was a complicated deal. As issues with the property/transaction occured Missy and her amazing team tackled them , there is no way I could have managed this deal without her! I can not recommend her enough, just the best.

Missy is a go-getter! She worked very hard in our favor. We needed a house in a hurry. Missy had us in our dream home in under a month. She has a ton of local contacts, so the process was quick and smooth. She even referred us a babysitter!!!! We love Missy and are thankful for all she has done for our family...

My husband and I could not have asked for a better relator! Missy Walden helped us every step of the way, and as first time home buyers, made the process as smooth as possible. We were searching in the competitive downtown Fredericksburg area, and Missy gave us wonderful advice on how to be prepared to quickly and successfully put in an offer. She took the time to really get to know both of us and knew exactly what we were looking for, which made looking at houses with her enjoyable and an easy process.
Both of us are busy professionals, and Missy was great with communicating and answering all of our questions via calls and text messages. Her team is organized and prompt.
Missy helped us get an offer in right away and negotiate on a house in downtown. We are so pleased with Missy and will recommend her to all of our co-workers and friends!

Missy and her team were outstanding in every way as they helped me buy a home in Stafford, and sell one on Woodbridge. Missy's knowledge of the market was instrumental in selling my home quickly. She was always frank and forthright with her advice and opinion, and she was always available to answer any questions I had during the process. I would absolutely recommend her to family and friends.

Missy and her team have a well-deserved reputation for being very professional, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Our relationship with Missy began over two years ago via a strong recommendation from a trusted source. She went well above expectations, as we were making a remote purchase, and were not able to commute to view homes. Missy viewed several homes for us and provided a comprehensive assessment of several properties. As fate would have it, she found a gem located in the most desirable neighborhood in the area (Seven Lakes). She was very upfront and advised us that a home in this community will not stay on the market long. After she met with the seller, he was convinced that we were the right family to care for the custom home that he had built 23 years prior, it was his pride and joy. The home had not been on the market for a month and had an immense amount of traffic, we felt blessed to be the family to purchase it.
Fast forward to today, we sought out Missy to list our home for sale. The amount of energy that she and her team exerted was impressive. The level of expertise, and by the numbers proficiency was eye-opening. She is a strategic professional, which takes her craft seriously. From setting a realistic price point to staging and marketing. The effort from her team put forth impressed the critic in us, Missy and her team far exceeded expectations!
It is our firm opinion that the media marketing plan, prompt follow up and Missy’s professional relationships are the sole reason that we had thousands of views, and two full price offers within seven days of listing. The home sold at listing price, which means that we recovered 100% of our investment on a home we owned for two years, and closed in one month!!!!
Thank you, Missy and the Walden Team…..
