Old Town Village Specialist

Old Town Village is a wonderful place to live! Very few, if any, communities in Old Town offer the privacy and seclusion, the neighborhood’s close-knit residents, and the outstanding pool, clubhouse, and other amenities, while remaining within a short walking distance of King Street and the parks and restaurants along the waterfront. OTV has been our base as we expanded our family. As we relocate away from the DC area for our careers, we will be saddened to leave our home, community, and city but simultaneously uplifted to know that someone else will enjoy them as we have.

- Adam & Lauren

We always wanted to live in quaint, walkable Old Town Alexandria and we waited years to find the perfect house. Our home in Old Town Village met all of our requirements: a short walk to King Street Metro and Whole Foods, double car garage, state-of-the-art systems, an end unit townhouse/courtyard home with only two stories, outdoor green space, a community pool and fitness center, and all with the best neighbors imaginable. With historic green space to the west, the vibrant riverfront a few blocks to the east, the shops, services, bike path, and restaurants of Old Town so close by - the location could not be more perfect. Old Town Village neighbors are the friendliest and best we have ever had. We celebrate together, help each other, and support the Alexandria community we all love.

- Marilynne and Jasper

We first moved in to ease my husband’s commute into the District, with King Street Metro just a few blocks away. We soon discovered that his convenience translated into a fabulous lifestyle for the whole family. Our time in Old Town Village has been the best years of our lives!

- Olga

With all the comforts and amenities of the warm and welcoming Old Town Village community, you can pop out of the front door to meet friends at the yoga studio, the coffee shop or at your favorite bar in less than 5 minutes, or you are at the river for sunrise in less than 15.

-Kim & Bobby

We love the location with its convenience to King Street Metro, the free trolley up and down King Street, and the beltway. The walkability in Old Town makes trips to our favorite shops, grocery stores, the theater and the best restaurants in the area a breeze. The neighborhood is fantastic with everyone joining in activities, Friday night happy hours, water aerobics, progressive dinners, picnics and holiday parties. Old Town Village has become known for its generosity to local charities and non-profit organizations. While the community is close to everything, it's also away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

- Cheryl & Bruce

When we were looking to sell our condo and buy a larger home within Old Town Village, Lisa was the first person who came to mind. She is extremely knowledgeable about the area and her sunny personality makes her a pleasure to work with. Finding a house that fit our family (complete with toddler, dog, and cat) and let us stay in our much loved neighborhood was no small task! But Lisa was extremely patient and was able to help us find a home that we love. On the sell side, she offered valuable expert advice as we prepped our condo for sale and navigated marketing and showing our home. Buying and selling a home can be an extremely stressful experience, but with Lisa it was a smooth and positive process. We cannot recommend her enough!

- Brianna and Tom

Lisa was the consummate professional in managing the listing and sale of our home in Alexandria. Lisa is a joy to work with and is highly flexible and collaborative. Her ability to use the latest marketing technology effectively brought us a buyer in two days. Her warm personality and excellent interpersonal skills turned a stressful time into a truly enjoyable experience. Our thanks and appreciation for Lisa as a partner in selling our home.

- Jasper and Marilynne

After nineteen years, we decided to sell our home in Old Town Village. That the move went so smoothly with no problem was because of Lisa Groover, our McEnearney realtor. Lisa diligently, and in a most professional manner, walked with us through all the steps of purchasing our new home and then selling our old one. She displayed great patience at all times answering, probably over and over, all our questions with the greatest aplomb making us feel as if we were her only concern. Noteworthy was Lisa's determination to ensure we were always aware of exactly where we were in the process and of what we should expect next. And, Lisa was always available to answer questions, provide advice and status. Lisa was for us the epitome of what one hopes a realtor is. It was a flawless process and pleasant because of Lisa.

- Bob and Priscilla

Without a doubt, Lisa Groover earned an A+ handling the sale of our home in Old Town Village! We loved her enthusiasm, marketing creativity and willingness to help prepare our house to sell. She was accessible and responsive, and gave great advice, while respecting our ideas and needs. Her knowledge of the real estate market, especially in the Old Town area, and networking expertise made the selling process a positive experience. Many thanks, Lisa!

- Wendy & Chuck

Lisa Groover sold our house in Old Town Village in record time and for the right price! Throughout this process Lisa showed herself to be a highly effective professional who developed a comprehensive plan for selling our home. No detail escaped her. We were particularly impressed with her flair for staging the house and her effectiveness during negotiation for its sale. We would employ Lisa in the future and have already recommended her to our friends.

- Mick and Cathy

Having bought and sold many homes over a 40-year government career, I can say working with Lisa was the best - least painful and most profitable - sale ever. Perfect advice and incredible personal attention sold the home before any listing, and closing took all of 30 minutes. She is by far the best agent ever!

- Steve & Kathy

We recently sold our courtyard home in Old Town Village with Lisa Groover. Lisa was a pleasure to work with and was exceptional in providing what was needed to make our house sell in one day at the asking price. We appreciated Lisa's personal attention to detail, quick response in getting everything in place for our listing and excellent follow through. She listened to our concerns and needs to make sure we were happy with the final product and outcome. Her expert advice on how to stage, what to update and pricing was invaluable in obtaining the best outcome for us. She had excellent experienced contacts to get things completed quickly so that we were ready for the market earlier than anticipated. Working with Lisa was a pleasure and we would highly recommend her services to anyone interested in having an exceptional experience in selling or buying a home.

- Cheryl and Bruce

Lisa helped us buy our new house in Old Town Alexandria, providing fantastic support in a tough market for buyers. Her knowledge of the Alexandria market is exceptional! She really went the extra mile in helping us beyond the transaction and all the way through move in

- Barbara and Mike

Lisa was highly recommended to us as an agent who was knowledgeable and effective. She listened to what we were looking for in a home, was responsive to all of our questions, and moved quickly once we decided to make an offer. In an area where desirable properties sell rapidly, we appreciated her expertise and guidance throughout the process. We were kept up-to-date on the status of our purchase from offer through closing, and continue to utilize Lisa as a source of information about services in the Alexandria area. We whole-heartedly recommend her without reservations.

- Brigid & Jim

Lisa was my agent for purchase of this home and I chose to work with her again when I decided to sell. Within a few days of giving her the listing for my home, it was SOLD! Lisa is extremely knowledgeable of the community, the current inventory of homes as well as recent home sales which enabled her to give me expert and timely advice. Throughout the process, she was responsive, considerate and thoughtful and best of all, a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend Lisa for either your next home purchase, or sale!

- Terry

Lisa’s positive attitude and sunny disposition set her apart from the start. Her qualities, selflessness, generosity and enthusiasm, are so unexpected nowadays in the business environment. They say hindsight is 20/20, and it is easy to say now that if I had trusted Lisa’s vision from the start, the sale of my house would have indubitably been short and sweet, and I would have moved on with my plans a lot faster, a lot easier. Once I followed her advice, and made some changes: Within a couple of days, I got my first great offer for the house…I further implemented her strategies, and a second solid offer rolled in almost immediately. I recommend her wholeheartedly. She is one in a zillion!

- Olga

The best of the breed! Lisa guided me through the process of renting my home when I was overseas. She went above and beyond her role as a realtor. She did a countless number of things that she was not supposed to - but she did because I was in a difficult situation. I would not have been able to rent my place without the outstanding support of Lisa. I would highly recommend her for all of your real estate needs.

- Arundhati

We found ourselves in the position of wanting to sell our house quickly, and knew that we had to do some painting, repairing, and rearranging prior to listing our house. Lisa took what I considered not possible and made it possible. Mike and I often worked long hours, and she met with the repairmen, painter, and the "floor guy" to get estimates and oversee the work. When Mike was suddenly called into a meeting and would not be able to meet the refrigerator delivery crew, he called Lisa. She dropped everything and left a luncheon to go over to the house, empty our refrigerator, and oversee the delivery. Lisa helped us have our house ready for market in record time, and was always there when we needed her.

- Karen and Mike

When I decided to sell my house, I didn't know how much work it would take. Luckily, I engaged Lisa Groover as my agent, and that made all the difference. She knows how to stage a house, where to get items for me to "borrow," how to pace the work load, and was even eager to lend a hand. She kept me informed daily. She was unfailingly encouraging, and it made all the difference. The house sold in less than two weeks for the targeted price we had discussed, and she helped me plan the closing, knowing I would be out of town. I can't say enough about her knowledge and helpfulness. It has truly been a pleasure working with Lisa.
