Success Stories

"I have bought and sold many houses in many different markets, and Kornelia is by far the most detail-oriented and knowledgeable agent I have worked with. She is well-connected in the D. C. market and gets the jump on many listings. As a buyer in a strong seller's market, this information is invaluable in securing my new home. Look no further for the best agent in the district!"

"Kornelia is the best and was a joy to work with in selling our office and buying new offices in our ideal neighborhood. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and always available whenever we needed her by phone or email, with prompt responses. She was particularly helpful when selling our office building; it was not on the market for very long before it was bought at a great price for us. Our new headquarters in Dupont Circle is the perfect place for our nonprofit organization."

"We enjoyed working with Kornelia Stuphan. She is very talented and experienced. She did above and beyond in getting our house ready for sale. We had our asking offer in two days after the open house! Everything went very smoothly. We would highly recommend Kornelia Stuphan. She did a great job for us!"

"We could not speak more highly of Kornelia. After meeting with two different realtors who didn't work out, Kornelia was recommended to us by a friend, and she was an absolute dream. She is the perfect balance between a tough professional and a genuinely thoughtful person. She never applied any pressure to us but really helped us make good decisions. She was also happy to take us around to look at properties, which no other DC realtor offered to do. She was always available to show us places and to walk us through every part of the process. After we were in contact about our new home, she helped us negotiate terms, which was a huge help. When we eventually sell our place, we will absolutely ask Kornelia to represent us."

"Kornelia was amazing. Her suggested list price was $100,000 more than that of another agent we interviewed. Our sales price was more than $50,000 over that. I really think we had such a successful sale of our home because we followed her strong guidance. At her suggestion, we moved into our new house, and in under two weeks, she had the house we were selling prepped, painted, staged, photographed, and listed. Ask her about her concierge service. The process is about as stress-free as moving can get. I am so glad we chose Kornelia to work with and recommend her without hesitation; in fact, I encourage anyone who is selling to give her a call. I am so glad we did."

"We are so thankful that we found Kornelia! We just purchased our second property with her and would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell. We were looking all over DC and were amazed at how well-informed she and her team are about every DC neighborhood we looked at. We've also seen Kornelia in action at one of her open houses - I can't think of a better person to sell a property. She is personable, knowledgeable, and has great taste! After hearing so many horror stories about realtors, we are so thrilled to find someone who was really looking out for us during the buying process. DC real estate is challenging, and you really need an agent with the right balance of savviness, patience, and honesty, which is exactly what Kornelia has! Kornelia, Jan, and Janice made what could have been a stressful process pretty fun!"

Buyer & Seller
"Kornelia and her K Team far exceeded our expectations! She showed incredible initiative and ideas, positioning our home in the best light possible for sale and attracting numerous offers even during a pandemic! She and her staff are unfailingly courteous and hard-working – and their terrific ideas made all the difference in selling our home over asking price. We’d interviewed several realtors before deciding to hire Kornelia – because she is willing to go the extra mile for her clients. Importantly, Kornelia really knows the market – and I cannot emphasize enough how important that proved to be for us. We are very happy with the results – and it was a total pleasure working with her."

"Kornelia is fantastic! I have purchased and sold several properties in the last 30 years - here and in NYC - she has to be the most organized, professional, and diligent agent with whom I have worked. When we ran into a glitch at the beginning, she quickly found a solution that closed the deal. She was very responsive to my calls and emails. I highly recommend her."

"We met with Kornelia when we decided to sell our home in DC early in 2021. She advised us regarding the timing and process that would result in a quick sale at the best possible price. She arranged for the necessary repairs and staging to maximize the appeal of our home and conducted an open house weekend, which resulted in multiple offers above the listing price. She negotiated the final sale price, which was considerably higher than we had hoped. She even referred us to movers and a contractor to refinish the floors in the home we purchased in another state. We have worked with many real estate agents in the DMV over the last 40 years, and none has produced better results than Kornelia. She did an outstanding job, and we give her our highest recommendation."

"From the moment I met Kornelia, I knew I wanted her to sell our house. Upon my initial contact, Kornelia immediately scheduled a meeting and had compiled a beautiful, researched, and well-thought-out book demonstrating how she'd sell our house. Her passion, commitment, and knowledge of the DC market were evident upfront and consistent throughout the process. She facilitated all of the logistics necessary for selling our house at a premium and shielded us as much as possible from the headaches. Grateful for her help, and I couldn't have survived the sale without her!"

"This was our second time selling a property with Kornelia's help, once in Glover Park and once on the Eastern Shore/Chesapeake Bay. The experience couldn't have been better. The whole process from preparing the listing to closing the sale went very smoothly. It was a pleasure working with Kornelia - especially considering the fact that selling a home is almost always also a very emotional transaction. Having somebody on your side who is not "only" business helps a lot."

"I was unsure whether to sell my Georgetown home "as is," or whether to make improvements. Kornelia recommended making improvements and staging. And? I sold my home for almost $200,000 above the listing price in five days! And Kornelia oversaw all of the improvements from painting, reflooring, picking new light fixtures, etc. I did not have to do anything. Bottom line: Kornelia is the best real estate broker in D. C.!"

"Kornelia is the best real estate agent we have ever used. She goes above and beyond what is expected. She is very knowledgeable about the market. She is very responsive! While we considered a ridiculously low offer as not to even counter, she recommended we counter close to our asking. We ended up selling the house at the price we expected to them! We also purchased a home with Kornelia as our agent, and she made compromises that worked for both parties. Kornelia is the best!"
