Strategy Matters
Thinking of Selling?
It’s time to sell. The decision is clear, but the transition isn’t easy. Your home has been your sanctuary for years. You’ve made many memories in this location, but the time has come—as it does in many peoples’ lives—to make memories elsewhere.
Now, this transition isn’t just your everyday sale. Selling a home is likely one of the largest financial transactions you’ll be involved in. That’s why it requires strategy and attention to detail. With the right plan in place, you can get the best possible price in the fewest days on market.
Thinking of Buying?
It’s time to find your next home—the home that fits this new chapter of life. You’re ready for the right amount of space, the new location, and to feel like you’re truly “at home.” As exciting as this transition can be, it’s a big one. You want to find a home, ensure it’s up to par, and get an offer accepted within your price range and within your timeline, without going back and forth competing with other buyers.
Truth is, you deserve a seamless experience. One where your search is painless…and you’re prepared, focused, and clear on what you truly want. To get there requires guidance.

In Their Words
“Think Lou Sagatov for any of your most complex and out-of-the-box real estate situations. Our family was fortunate to secure Lou’s services for purchase, sale, and full-fledged make-over of our single-family Colonial (Vienna) we had to rent out for over a dozen years while stationed overseas.
Lou secured our winning bid in an excruciating bidding war, served as a general contractor, project manager, and a visionary in renovating our home in a way that it spent less than 24 hours (!) on the market before going into a “Pending” status, and then pulled off the most streamlined closing process.
Lou — thank you for being you!”

This was my first time purchasing a house alone. Lou made it sure I feel comfortable in every step during the process. He sees properties from buyer’s perspective of course but as well as seller’s. Lou is very straightforward to tell me (in details!) about what I can/cannot do with the property even as potential. His communication is so good that I didn’t have to feel anxious which is the best thing you can expect from him. I feel comfortable contacting him even after 2 years of the deal! He also cares how I and my family are living in the new property. He is very sweet! If I ever have to sell property, I’m 100% sure I will talk to him first. No one else!

Lou Sagatov is an ideal realtor. He was available to us 24-7, was extremely prompt in returning calls and emails, made ever meeting on time even though driving from Fairfax to Arlington; and told us from the beginning the exact price we should charge. He was very patient and empathetic with us as we overpriced because he understands seller psychology: (we all think our homes are the best, right?) Being a builder by profession, he was able to provide a complete list of qualified, competitively priced artisans for home improvement, but in all candor advised against over-investment, thus putting our interests above his own (we could have gotten a higher price by improving, and he a higher commission, but our profit would be lower–and he cared about that). His attitude was always positive and his temperament calm. This last trait was perhaps the most important one, as there were times when we sellers became anxious. Even after closing he stayed with us, making sure our payment went through. Simple a great pro all around.
