The Denny & Leyla Team – Evers & Co. Real Estate

This review is for Denny, who walked my GF and I through our first home purchase. From the start Denny was informative, friendly, professional, and endlessly patient. I had assumed buying a home would involve a protracted period of looking around and thus anticipated having some time to really read up on the whole home buying process. However, we found the home we wanted on the first day out and put an offer in that night. As a result, the whole thing was immediately fast-​tracked. My GF and I basically just let Denny run things from that point on and he took great care of us. He patiently and knowledgeably answered all our questions, even when they involved repeated phone calls for questions that were probably mostly the result of naivety and anxiety than actual substance. In the long run we got the house we wanted at a price we could afford. Having seen first-​hand what a mess a crooked real estate can make of things a few years earlier when my mother was selling her house in NC, I went into our first meeting with Denny harboring a very skeptical view of real estate professionals but Denny proved to be someone that you could completely trust to look out for your interests. In the end we feel like we not only had an agent we could rely on but a new friend. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home in the DC region.

Denny and Leyla helped us purchase our first home in December 2015 and we can’t say enough wonderful things about them. It took us almost 2 years before we found our house and we never felt pressured or got discouraged during the hunt. We changed our minds on what we were looking for a thousand times and they patiently adjusted the parameters and sent more houses our way. They provided solid advice during the offer, contract and closing stages, as well as provided us with invaluable recommendations and words of wisdom when we finally settled on a renovation project.
They also often made us feel like we were their most important clients and went out of their way to accommodate our schedule.
We highly recommend using The Denny and Leyla Team to purchase or sell your next home.

Denny is a first-​class professional. We had a lot of difficulty with complex problems in closing on a purchase. Everything from mold to stolen compressors to bad appraisals. You name it we had it. Through it all Danny was the consummate realtor. He calmly and methodically dealt with every problem while at the same time keeping us calm and focused. Trust me, you could not ask for a better real estate agent!

Denny recently helped us purchase our new home in Accokeek, MD in June, 2015. All of the praise for Denny’s work and professionalism on this site is well-​deserved. He is dedicated, knowledgeable and responsive. We had no trouble finding houses on which to make offers, but getting the short sale contracts to close was a real challenge. From our experience, it appears that Denny is one of the few DC realtors who can successfully navigate the complexities and risks of a short sale. After five houses and four escrowes, we finally got the house we wanted. Denny was patient and helpful through it all. He never pressured us as to any houses or prices. We felt his advice was always spot-​on and properly motivated. In addition to being a great realtor, Denny is also just a really nice guy — a joy to work with. Leyla was not involved with our purchase. Denny was wonderful, and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Denny and Leyla were wonderful in helping me purchase my home! They were easy to work with, responsive and very helpful with all the questions I had. They were always available when I needed them and even helped after the purchase of my home with recommending wonderful contractors. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Denny and Leyla were incredibly helpful as my girlfriend and I bought our first apartment in the US. We are both from other countries, and they were especially helpful and patient helping us navigate through the entire legal and administrative process. On top of that, they were responsive and able to accommodate our complicated schedules to go see houses.
This all would have been enough for a 5-​star review, but readers should know that they also managed to be friendly and incredibly nice throughout the process.
I highly enthusiastically recommend them.

Denny helped us purchase our first home. We’d gone into the process expecting it to be difficult and stressful, but Denny was an amazing asset. His knowledge, professionalism, advice, and expedience actually made the process easy. Easy to the point where we wondered if we had messed up or forgotten something. We truly felt he was helping us find the right house, not just make a sale. We ended up buying in a neighborhood we hadn’t originally considered, and it was a better decision than we could have imagined. We wholeheartedly recommend Denny. If we ever need a realtor, our first and only call will be to him!

I knew Craig McCullough personally before contacting him when deciding to purchase my first home. I wanted to work with someone familiar as this was a new process for me, but that doesn’t take away from how professional Craig is. Craig was very helpful in guiding me throughout the whole process and showing me properties within my price range and specifications. Craig is knowledgeable of the city, the properties and financial and tax questions that arise when purchasing a condo. Craig was very patient throughout the whole process and did not try to push me into deciding and buying a property, he was willing to work with me until finding the right property. I would recommend anyone to Craig who is in the market for a home. Craig also recommended a loan agent, David Toaff, who also was excellent and pleasure to work with.

Denny & Leyla recently assisted a client of mine in purchasing her first home. They are professional, patient, knowledgeable and above all (in my opinion), extremely honest and concerned for their clients’ needs. They have a humility and kindness to them that make them extremely likable and trustworthy.
It has been a pleasure working with them. When you can combine expertise and professionalism with great personalities, you have a great team on your hands!

My wife and I moved to DC after almost 10 years overseas and knew almost nothing about the DC real estate market or the specifics of home ownership. Leyla and Denny spent a great deal of time educating us on all of the intricacies of the DC real estate market, as well as the entire home buying process. They spent hours with us looking at houses all over the city, and also showing us the surrounding neighborhoods and amenities. Even though we spent quite a bit of time searching for our home, we never felt pressured in the process; in fact, we were constantly told not to make a commitment unless we were completely sure of the home.
When we finally found our home, Leyla and Denny were able to quickly move on the offer and take care of all of the paperwork extremely quickly, and we had our offer accepted prior to that weekend’s planned open house. Even after this, they stayed in touch with us to help answer all of our questions about the process, and even helped us with finding some very good movers (at a great price!) and with other administrative issues involved with the move… they even checked in with us frequently to ask if there was anything that we needed support with.
The DC housing market can be quite intimidating, but Leyla and Denny were true professionals in guiding us through the entire process. I recommend them without hesitation.

I’ve worked with Denny twice now, and each time he has gone above and beyond helping me find a place I love. I really feel like he did more than other realtors would have. He handled the entire process both times. And lightening fast. I agree with the other review, he took time to learn what I was looking for, and then only showed me those.

Denny and associates helped me find my first condo (coop). Being my first place, I didn’t have much money to spend. Denny and I looked at many properties as soon as they came on the market. Often, a place would be sold or have multiple offers before I could place my bid. Denny had patience with me. After losing 4 bids in the same building, Denny helped me make an offer one more time. I wanted to quickly offer my max, but I followed Denny’s advice, staying lower than my max but above asking. He saved me thousands; my offer was still accepted. Denny is a great realtor. I would recommend he and Leyla any day.
Leyla showed me a property when Denny was out of town. They really do make a great team.

Denny has been my realtor as both a buyer’s agent and a seller’s agent. In our most recent work, he assisted me in buying a townhouse in the city.
I work 60+ hour weeks and so my time to look for a place and to close on the transaction was very limited. Denny was excellent at always being prepared and anticipating what I would need and ask throughout the process. He was clear from the beginning what I was looking for. He knew the neighborhoods I was considering very very well. He understood what I could be flexible on and what my deal-​breakers were. He guided me step by step through the process working with my financial institution and the title company to make sure everything happened. I seriously don’t think I could have done this without Denny’s specific help. Highest recommendation for Denny Horner and those that know me know this is no small feat!

I simply cannot speak highly enough of Denny. He guided my husband and I through our first home-​buying experience, and from the initial discussions to final closing, Denny was helpful, informative, reliable, and engaged. He listened to what we wanted and helped us identify the questions we didn’t know we should be asking.

Denny made the experience fun (without being flakey or silly) and we had peace of mind knowing that he was representing our interests in all discussions. I would recommend Denny without hesitation or reservation.

Denny assisted us in buying our first condo in the highly fast turning DC real estate market. We had very specific requirements for a property that will be ideal for us. In three months, we were able to find a place that had everything that we were looking for: great location, huge bedroom, and beautiful patio. His guidance and experience helped us to win bidding competition on that condo.
Denny was extremely helpful trough out all stages of the process. He was constantly showing us different condos and houses as soon as any of us found something interesting. He always allowed us to make our own decisions about the property and provided his point of view only when we asked for it. We wrote four offers before everything worked out but we never felt that his advice was pushy. Denny was incredibly patient with us; he was always ready to bargain price down for us, and critically evaluated the market worth of the properties that we were interested in along the way. We are sure that we escaped many pitfalls through the entire process because of Denny’s careful guidance.
We greatly enjoyed working with Denny and we strongly recommend him to all our friends without any reservation whatsoever.

We found Denny through a friend of ours when we decided to buy in DC. Denny was extremely knowledgeable of the city and the properties. Instead of showing us random properties, he would give us information about the building, the neighborhood and its history before he showed us any property. This saved us from a lot of wasted time. It was clear to us that Denny was interested in us being happy with our purchase and not just selling us a property. He was very responsive and educated us on the neighborhoods and condo living. I would recommend anyone to Denny who is in the market for a home.

I used Denny in 2009 to help in my search for a home and after about 8 months of searching we finally found something that fit my needs. Denny was a great help, very patient, it’s not exactly easy to find a «cheap» fixer upper in the DC area, and never seemed to wear from my constant requests to look at homes. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an agent that is truly interested in helping you find a home.
