I love [The Koitz Group’s] level of service!! Like going to the Four Seasons!! - Miles P.
-
The Koitz Group is wonderful. They are knowledgeable, patient and very easy to work with. Our house-hunting and house-selling experience was as painless as possible due to her expertise. We still turn to the Koitz Group for recommendations whenever we need something done to the house. We have recommended The Koitz Group to everyone we know as THE ONLY real estates agent to work with!" - Leesa F and Jon B.
-
"It was wonderful to work with you -- and, as you said, not dull! Your patience and willingness to listen, not to mention your expertise and terrific follow-through, made a seemingly endless process bearable." - Jennifer and Bob G.
-
“As a Mortgage Lender, I have known hundreds of Real Estate Agents and Gretchen is the best of the group. She is exceptional with her market knowledge and her client first approach. I have worked with Gretchen since 1993.” - Joseph L.
-
“Gretchen and her son, Kevin, provided excellent guidance and assistance during the home purchasing process. The Koitz Group assisted in the purchase of our first home from soup to nuts. The attention to detail, courteousness, professionalism, and expertise displayed were all first rate. Gretchen and Kevin led us to our desired home, helped us secure the best possible mortgage (through their numerous contacts), and have continued to connect us to their wide network of service providers, e.g. painters, floor repair, etc. I would not hesitate to recommend the Koitz Group to anyone planning on purchasing or selling a property in the DC metro area.” - Neil P.
-
“Gretchen is a terrific agent who certainly knows the local market. She went above and beyond in helping us get our house ready to go on the market. It's nice to work with a person you know and like than a stranger! So even if you are just meeting Gretchen, take the leap of faith and you'll be glad you did.” - Peter M
-
“My husband and I have had the pleasure of working with Gretchen on two separate occasions . . . in both instances, and at all times, she was most helpful, informative, able to establish realistic expectations, easy to reach, responsive, patient in the face of "dumb" questions, accommodating of family pressures and constraints, and particularly sensitive to our personal trauma of buying and selling in a "foreign" market. I have no doubt that the ease with which we bought and sold our home is a direct reflection of Gretchen's personal style and mannerisms." - Judith S.
-
“Gretchen and her team sold our house quickly and professionally in a declining market at very close to our asking price. She combines traditional with new and creative marketing tactics and provides excellent advice and service to her clients. She was also a strong advocate for us as a buyers' agent, and we enjoyed working with her and her team. We worked with other real estate brokers prior to Gretchen and the contrast was striking. We would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the DC area, especially Montgomery County.” - Josh D.
-
“Working with Penelope was an absolute honor. It was clear from the first time I met Penelope that she was competent, knowledgeable, professional, and enjoyable to work with. I am certain that my husband and I were in the best hands for purchasing our home.”
- Justine R.

“My salesperson, Gretchen Koitz, was of the highest caliber of professionalism, caring, and efficiency I have ever experienced. (I have sold four houses over a period of forty years)" - Barbara R.
-
"Gretchen is a terrific agent! Knowledgeable, hardworking and personable...I interviewed 5 agents and picked Gretchen...I'm glad I did." - Gail J.
-
"Wow are you professional and personable. Thank you for handling the sale of our home and the extras, too! Our whole family appreciates and thanks you." - Jim and Carole L.
-
"After we switched (from another real estate agent) to Gretchen, we had a fantastic experience. Our agent was hardworking and industrious -- we really felt she had our best interests, not her own, at heart. We couldn't have ended up with a better agent and have been recommending her left and right ever since." - Frances W. and Wib C.
-
"Thank you for selling our house! From the time you surveyed our house about three months before we planned to sell and suggested what improvements we could make, we felt that we were in good hands. Then, when our house sold in four days, we knew that we had made the right choice in realtors...Your warmth and kindness made us feel that not only did we have a first rate realtor, but that we also had a good friend." -Alison B.
-
"We can't say enough about Penelope Frissell. She was thorough and professional throughout our search, and she alleviated our stress the entire time. We were thrilled with her work and her integrity as a Buyer's Agent, and are delighted to count her as a friend." - Stephen & Denise T.
-
“Gretchen is fantastic. She and her team made this purchase/sale a remarkably pleasant experience. We will recommend them to anyone we know who is buying or selling a home in the area. They went way above and beyond our expectations. They are bright, friendly, honest and not at all pushy. We were comfortable every step of the way." - Doug & Sandy L.
-
“Being removed from the transaction by thousands of miles could easily have been, for us, a nightmare of anxiety and mishaps. Somehow you managed to keep your time zones straight, maintain good communication with us and provide us with a sense of tremendous confidence. Having been through four major real estate transactions in as many years, I qualify as a masochist and an expert on real estate agents, I can state with confidence that you are among the best.” - Henry T.
-
"We're notoriously deliberative about making big purchases (it took us 3 years to buy a couch.) Penelope really took the time to get to know our likes and dislikes and patiently took us through dozens of homes until we found the perfect house for us." - Maria G.
-
“Wise and polished beyond his years, I recommend Kevin Koitz to everyone I know.” - Josh C.
-
“Gretchen handled the 2003 sale of out home in Kensington, MD and the purchase of our home in Garrett Park, MD. The sale of the house in Kensington became something of a challenge as we approached the closing, but she handled the situation expertly. We were able to wrap up both transactions within 75 days with excellent results. I strongly recommend her.” - Brad C.
-
“What do we sellers look for in a real estate agent? (1) Efficiency (2) Keeping us informed (3) Keeping promises (4) Skill in negotiation. I rated you superior in all four respects. Thanks again for a job really well done” - Sidney G.
-
If you haven't worked with Gretchen before, let me tell ya: always listen to whatever she says. She hasn't been wrong yet and we would possibly follow her to the end of the earth if she told us we'd like living there. :) - Debbie D.
