What people are saying about Crystal.

This testimonial comes from one of Crystal’s clients:

Novins & Street is a game changer. Before I called them, my house had been on the market for a month (at $749,900) and I had only received a single, very low-ball offer ($712,000). It was depressing. My realtor at the time was advising me to drop my asking price significantly. I decided to call Novins & Street on the advice of a former neighbor who had worked with them on the sale of his home. They knew all about my house even BEFORE I reached out—they do their research! I was confident I was making the right decision from our first conversation.

We took my house off the market for two weeks. I followed their advice and did some manageable touch-up work ($7,000 in cosmetic updates). Then, their team staged the place to perfection (our staging is free), and we went back on the market (at $749,000). Within three business days, I had three offers on my house—all for well over my original asking price (a bidding war)! I was honestly floored. I accepted an offer ($800,000) in under a week and I was able to move forward with my life!”

Crystal Street is truly the best! With her help we were able to purchase a fabulous house in our dream neighborhood and sell our current house for more than we ever anticipated. Crystal provided us with clear guidance every step of the way and responded to our questions day and night. She maintains positive relationships with other realtors in the community and stays up to date on market changes, which is critical in a competitive market. We fully trusted Crystal throughout this process and felt she always had our best interest in mind.

Crystal went above and beyond to help us successfully sell our home after we relocated out of state suddenly. Having to sell our home from a distance was a daunting prospect, but she made it as seamless and easy as possible for us. Because of Crystal's neighborhood expertise, she priced our home perfectly and got us several offers above list. Crystal and her team will take the best care of you and your home!

Thank you again for all you did! We weren't planning to turn this around so quickly, but we're actually under contract on a house here already. You getting our house sold and closed so quickly has been a huge blessing and has helped us get settled in our new city even quicker than we expected.
Thanks again!
Evan and Kate Jarvi, 2931 Woodlawn Ave.  

My name is Jon and I recently sold my property with Crystal. I was a first time home seller and interviewed many realtors. I had found some realtors I was comfortable with, and some who were immediately off my list. Crystal was my last interview and within 5 minutes of speaking with her I knew I’d found my realtor.
Her knowledge of my neighborhood, her ability to price my home correctly and her overall positive demeanor throughout the process was all class.
Crystal Street is a true professional and I could not have been happier working with her and if you hire her to list/sell your home I know you’ll experience the same high level of service that I did. 2944 Woodlawn

If you are looking for a trustworthy and knowledgeable real estate agent, look no further than Crystal Street! I've worked with several agents, as this was my 6th home, and she was the most reliable, yet. Crystal's expertise in the neighborhood, and the entire area, helped me understand the market so that we priced the home to sell. We had multiple offers and were under contract in two days! Crystal also worked with me on my timeline and schedule, and she was incredibly responsive to my questions and any changes in my plans. I highly, highly recommend Crystal. She goes above and beyond at every step of the process. I simply cannot thank her enough! Alicia Miller 6906 Chestnut Ave

My husband and I have been working with Crystal for 3 years now. When we first moved to Northern VA from Richmond, our realtor in Richmond recommended Crystal to us. What a great recommendation! Crystal first helped us buy our townhome in Alexandria. She was always super responsive and quick to get an offer out when we were ready to buy. She is so knowledgeable and has amazing connections with local contractors. Even after we purchased our townhome, Crystal continued to stay connected with us. We worked with Crystal again when we sold our townhome and, again, what a great experience! Crystal makes everything easy! When our HOA gave us a list of things to take care of, Crystal worked so hard to get us good referrals of local contractors to take care of the work to be done. She always comes through when we need help and we appreciated everything she did for us. We were trying to move while also about to have our first baby and Crystal helped make the move less stressful! She sent a stager over to give us tips on decorating prior to photos and showings, and the house turned out beautifully! If we ever move back to the Northern VA area, we would definitely work with her again!! If you’re looking for a home in NoVA, do yourself a favor and call Crystal; she is such a sweet person and a great realtor to work with. Reid and Rachael Blosser, 5324 Buxton Ct, Alexandria

Crystal Street is amazing. She gives exceptional advice on how to prepare your house for sale. She does a thoughtful, in-depth analysis of the market and comparable sales and a fantastic marketing plan. She wraps the sense of the neighborhood and the community into her approach which gives the prospective buyer a feeling that there is something special to be found. Crystal was with me every step of the way from start to successful finish. She was patient with my many questions and upbeat at every part of the process. If you want a top notch professional who will do an amazing job for you, Crystal is the one. Betty Charles, 2934 Woodlawn Ave.

We hired Crystal to sell our home in Jefferson Village in October 2021. It was an easy decision. Partly because she is a friend from the neighborhood, but mostly because she is a true real estate expert in the community. She and her business partner at Novins and Street use a very data-driven approach to pricing. For the nearly nine years we lived there, I would look forward to receiving their monthly newsletter explaining real estate trends and insights in our community, and I participated in at least one of their free seminars. Both the newsletter and seminars are incredibly informative and interesting. When we decided to sell our home, we met with Crystal and agreed on a target sales price, based on comps and data about our local market, and the approach for listing it. Within a week of listing our home we received multiple offers, all over asking price. The final sales price was nearly the exact target price we agreed on. But in addition to their data-driven approach to pricing, Crystal's warm, friendly, approachable, and hands-on style made the entire process go so smoothly. She made us feel comfortable and confident from our first meeting all the way through closing. Crystal and Novins and the Street group are true professional and real estate experts, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell or buy in the Northern Virginia area.

Crystal recently represented us twice – once as sellers, once as buyers – and we recommend her 100%! Crystal provided outstanding advice on how to ready our home for sale, and made all the details feel easy instead of overwhelming. She also helped us narrow in on target properties for purchase and knew just what to do when it was time to make an offer. Crystal understands the emotional and financial aspects of moving and is a true “pro” at what she does. Bob and Kirsten

Crystal was a dream to work with! She helped us navigate the red hot housing market and stay sane! She was always positive, confident, and gave us her honest, professional opinion. She put me at ease by answering any question I had, no matter how small. Crystal also sold our house. We loved that she was a neighborhood specialist and lived right around the corner. She could easily pop over to help lock up or turn the lights off after showings. She also knew exactly what to price our house at and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the outcome!! Crystal is the best. I would recommend her to anyone selling or buying! The Pratts

I was so fortunate to work with Crystal to sell my house over the summer. She had keen insights into the market and the neighborhood; and provided really good guidance in terms of how to get the home ready, when to list and then post-contract, simplified the entire process to get to closing. Easy-peasy and I made a little money too! Diane Vaccaro

After a thorough realtor search to sell our home, we selected Crystal and couldn’t be happier. Her preparation and analytics were far above the competition..she knows the market well and it shows!
Once we selected her and got the process rolling she provided her expert team to help us - from the stager, contractor, and photographer to the title company, her team is top notch. She was always quick to respond via text and/or email and she took a lot of time to guide us through all of the decisions and actions we had to take. Whenever we needed help, she was willing to go above and beyond - letting us borrow a couch for staging, bringing in our trash barrels when we were out of town for showings, endless walk throughs, etc.
Finally, the showings and negotiations went without a hitch. Crystal had us booked solid throughout the weekend, and because of her hard work we were able to select the best offer among many.
We can’t say enough good things about Crystal, we wish she were available at our new location to help us through the buying process as well. We wish her all the best, and would encourage any prospective home seller or buyer to use her expertise. -Christian and Kate

Crystal is an experienced, intelligent realtor who knows the housing market and got us multiple offers all above asking in just 3 days. From the photographer to the stager, she works with a professional team of people who made selling our home seamless. - Marjorie Tharp

We worked with Crystal to buy a new house and sell our current house in the spring of 2018. She was extremely knowledgeable, honest and very responsive to all of our questions and emails. Her assistance in guiding us through the process was invaluable, and she always willing to go the extra mile to make sure that we could meet our goals. Not only was our existing house under contract in five days due to her efforts, but she helped us to obtain our current house in a very competitive market. The house we ended up buying had multiple offers and a short offer deadline. We went to the open house on our own, but she made sure that she stopped by to see the house and introduce herself to and talk to the listing agents. She was the only agent who took the initiative to stop by the open house, which left an impression on the listing agents and helped to strengthen our offer so that we were ultimately selected.  – Ben and Antonia   

"We can’t say enough good things about Crystal Street. As our real estate agent, she gave us valuable advice and went above and beyond in order to help us sell our house in a challenging market. We had never sold a home before, and she immediately put us at ease. She came to our first meeting armed with detailed information about comps in the area and with recommendations about what we needed to do to position our home to its best advantage. We took all of her advice and never regretted it. If we still lived in Northern Virginia, we’d definitely use her again!"  Bob and Lisa Gough

 
I learned a lot from working with you. I really like your very focused approach, and your expertise made a huge difference, both in deciding how to market the house and in the very quick sale. Thank you again for all the help, encouragement, and advice. -Barbara

We met Crystal through a recommendation well before we made the decision to put our house on the market.  When the time came to sell, we never considered working with anyone but Cystal.  I can't imagine there is anyone with more knowledge of our market and neighborhood.  This was our first time selling a house, which was complicated by the fact that we happened to be living overseas throughout the whole process.  What could have been a stressful process was greatly simplified by Crystal's expertise, professionalism, and communication.  From assisting with getting the house ready for market, to pricing and listing, Crystal exceeded every expectation we had.  It didn't hurt that we went from listing to close in less than three weeks with multiple offers well above asking price as a result of Crystal's listing recommendations.  We'll soon be looking for our next home and have no doubt Crystal will help us find the right house for us.  -Justin and Melissa 

The Novins Group was the perfect Realtor for us. We worked with Crystal McCall Street and she was nothing short of amazing. Crystal was incredibly helpful, efficient and professional. Having a neighborhood expert gave us a great advantage and our house sold in just three days. Crystal also quickly helped us find our new home in the area. We had a short timeline to work with and she did everything in her power to search and show us properties as soon as they got on the market. Her responsiveness was remarkable. We often wondered how she could drop everything and consistently make us her number one priority. Selling and buying a home is not the easiest thing in the world, but Crystal made it so. We would highly recommend The Novins Group and Crystal McCall Street.  -Jean and Allan Capon
