Sven is an incredible realtor. Can’t recommend him enough! We helped us sell our townhouse in March 2025 in TWO WEEKS. He knows the market so well, understands how best to position your property to get optimal exposure and interest. He has an amazing contact list of contractors, so any repairs/work/cleaning that needs to be done prior to sell happens quickly and in a reasonable price range. He definitely goes above and beyond! You won’t be disappointed, I promise you that.

My family and I have been working with Sven for the past decade. He has been a pivotal and insightful realtor who prioritizes our needs by going above and beyond to ensure we secure our ideal property. He works around the clock for his clients—asking thoughtful questions to understand their needs, researching neighborhoods and amenities, and negotiating fair prices to protect their budgets. Sven has been instrumental in helping my family secure properties in Hyattsville, Silver Spring, and Washington, D.C. He is an amazing and caring realtor who always puts his clients first. He even connected us with reasonably priced contractors for construction or repairs whenever needed.

Sven is truly the best realtor, and I cannot recommend him enough when buying your next property.

We were fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Sven Skarie when we bought our home in Montgomery Village, MD in 2020. When it came time for us to sell, we knew to call Sven. He made the process as easy going and stress free as possible. When it comes to marketing, negotiations, and overall strategy, he is the best hands down. Sven's photographer made our house look amazing. The drone shots were instrumental in capturing the value of our specific location and from a marketing standpoint, made our property stand out above other similar properties. We had nearly 40 appointments scheduled before the open house. We ended up getting nearly 20 offers before the close of the second day all due to the strategic marketing. The photos are attached here for reference. We ended up selling our house $40k above listing price in large part due to Sven and his marketing ability. His communication is great, and his knowledge is super helpful for the many questions we had along the way. We highly recommend trusting Sven Skarie for your real estate needs.

Sven was a fantastic agent. He was knowledgeable about the countless DC neighborhoods and Maryland cities/areas we toured (Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Potomac, and Silver Spring). Most importantly, he listened to what we wanted and did a lot of research before sending us curated lists of properties matching our preferences.

He was an excellent resource for learning and navigating the crazy DMV housing market. Thanks to his professionalism and knowledge, we got a property that received close to 10 offers (and the lender's appraisal showed that the price we offered was right!). His network of trusted and professional inspectors, lenders, and contractors helped us to get superior and reasonably priced services and complete our housing transaction on time.

We found Sven thanks to a colleague that had a great experience with him as an agent. We're so happy he was available.

Thanks, Sven!

Sven Skarie is an outstanding and professional real estate agent who serves the Maryland/DC/VA area via Long and Foster and DC Area Homes. Sven helped us buy our home recently in Bowie MD and we are extremely happy with the result. Sven showed us the area including Silver Springs, College Park, Laurel, Lanham, and Bowie. He is an extremely good listener and will very quickly learn what it is you are looking for and help you focus on just the right houses. The Maryland market moves very quickly and Sven understands this well. He also has excellent contract writing skills when it comes to making your offer as strong as possible. Sven is fast, professional, and extremely knowledgeable about the local area. We are indebted to him for helping us find our first home. Thank you Sven!

Sven Skarie was an incredible help when my husband and I purchased a home in Bowie MD. We needed to find a home on a short timeline and toured multiple homes in College Park, Silver Spring, Rockville, Laurel, Hyattsville, Riverdale Park, Lanham, and Bowie. Sven made the stressful process go incredibly smoothly. He listened to what we wanted, let us realize that seeing a listing wasn't the same as seeing the house, honed in on our must-haves, and showed us options with patience and good humor.

Thanks to his extensive knowledge of the area and the current market, he helped us find our house the day it was listed and write a competitive offer that was accepted. We were able to close quickly thanks to his lender and inspector recommendations. We couldn't have done it without his expertise and I am so incredibly grateful we found him. Not only did we purchase a great home, we already have a friend in the neighborhood.

Working with Sven proved to be seamless and professional. I especially enjoyed how quickly the house went on the market and his intuitive approach to making decisions.
