Joe Gunerman

Connecting with Joe Gunerman and The Davenport Group was the absolute best decision, making our home-buying experience in Maryland and the DMV area unparalleled to our previous home searches. Moving halfway across the country, to an area my family had no knowledge of, seemed daunting when the opportunity presented itself. After extensively researching and discussing our options of realtors, we unanimously agreed to work with Joe. Of the realtors we reached out to, he was the first who provided us peace of mind. His leadership and communication skills, sharing information in a clear, easy to understand way, gave us the utmost confidence in ourselves to make the right decision. During the search process, Joe sent us a plethora of professional advice and data to help us understand the market, identifying key trends and showcasing what it would take for us to get our dream home using facts and testimony- not speculation. This provided us an opportunity to best understand what homes were realistic, and what it would take to submit a competing offer. When the time came for us to put an offer on a house, Joe separated himself from any realtor we’ve worked with in past home searches. This solidified him as the best we have ever worked with, seen, or heard about. He gave us honest instruction and information, emphasizing how to separate ourselves from the rest of the offers amidst a competitive housing market. When we heard our offer was accepted, it felt surreal that all pieces fell into place; we owe this success to Joe for his professionalism, proper guidance, and positive attitude. Joe continued to advise us through the closing date and beyond, ensuring we made the right decision both in our home and with him. We have already recommended him to friends and family, and we will continue to do the same. Joe and The Davenport Group provided us with an eye-opening and extraordinary experience, and we will absolutely call on them again!

In September, my husband and I closed on our first home in Falls Church and it truly could not have been a better experience. Joe worked with us not just as our realtor but as our friend. He was thoughtful in his recommendations and honest as we toured each home. Joe was so mindful of our requests and understood how important the location was to my husband in terms of commuting and to me and my small, local business. Throughout the home search Joe demonstrated a deep knowledge of the DMV area and he made sure that we were aware of any listings that fit our preferences. It was always a lot of fun to walk through homes with Joe, even when it ultimately wasn’t the right fit for us. When we toured THE house, Joe had arrived at the address early and texted us “I think you guys are really going to like it.” Joe never pressured us one way or the other but he intently learned our preferences and he was exactly right. This brick home in Falls Church, near the metro, in the McLean school pyramid, with a yard, checked all of our important boxes. Joe got right to work and quickly put in our offer that afternoon. We were thrilled it was accepted. During the home search process, Joe also gave excellent recommendations for financing. We were able to lock in a low interest rate with a local mortgage company who Joe was well connected with. Joe was always incredibly flexible in coordinating the home inspection, the appraisal, and closing. He and his team were with us every step of the way and even when it should have been overwhelming, we knew we could count on Joe to help answer our questions and quell any concerns. Throughout this process, so many of our friends and families have shared how terrible their first time home-buying experience was. We are SO thankful that ours was truly the opposite. Working with Joe and the Davenport Group was the best decision we made. We cannot recommend Joe enough. His expertise and thoughtful approach to home-buying and selling in the DMV area is unmatched. While we will certainly enjoy living in our first home for the next several years, we know we will reach out to Joe when the time comes to sell and buy again.

Joe Gunerman is an exceptional realtor who went above and beyond to find our dream home in Del Ray, despite the tough market. His expertise and dedication were evident from start to finish. Joe's deep knowledge of the local area was evident right away and he was very calculated with how to best approach our offer. He was always transparent but also kept our needs top priority. His communication was prompt, direct & informative, making us feel like valued clients throughout the process. We were not able to be there for the weekend the house went on the market and he was able to book the first time slot and promptly provide us detailed videos and notes on the house so we could make a decision from a far. We really trusted his judgement and know he wouldn’t lead us astray. He’s a very trustworthy agent. When it came to negotiations, Joe skillfully advocated for us, ensuring we got the best deal possible. Throughout closing he was dialed in and helpful every step of the way along with the rest of The Davenport Group team involved who made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. In short, Joe is the go-to realtor in Alexandria. Can’t recommend him enough!

We would recommend Joe Gunerman to anyone who is looking for a realtor! My fiancé and I interviewed a few realtors in our early preparation stages but knew instantly that we wanted to work with Joe the day we met him/interviewed him – he stood out to us from the rest! From his professionalism, positivity, knowledge, communication/time management skills, and more: From day 1, Joe arrived early to our scheduled initial meeting with a folder of useful information which he took the time to explain in depth: a list of reputable lenders, an article highlighting different strategies on how to make a competitive offer, information about his team, and the step-by-step process of purchasing a home. Joe also took the time to get to know us as individuals, the type of properties we are looking for, the locations we desire, and our budget. He was also very attentive to our timeline with house buying. My fiancé and I can have very busy work schedules - We were always appreciative of how flexible and quick Joe was in scheduling after-work hour house tours. He even was very proactive in scheduling private tours on properties with less than a 24-hour request notice from us. Joe also made sure that another member of his team was ready to assist us with any house tours in rare situations in which he was unable to attend himself. When it came to the actual house hunting process – we were impressed by how involved and attentive he was with the properties we toured. He was transparent and insightful with explaining to us the good versus bad of every home we saw, the type of maintenance each home would require, things that would need to be replaced sooner versus later (ex: roof, HVAC, water heater, etc). – It really helped us feel empowered to make informed decisions on whether we wanted to put an offer on a house or not. When it came time to finding the house we wanted – Joe was very thorough with helping us write up an offer. Fun fact – Joe was on a plane when we toured a single family house that we wanted to try to purchase after our private tour. Despite being 30,000 feet in the sky, Joe was still able to write us an offer on the house and guide us through the whole process while being midflight! We felt very well supported to have our first offer on a house submitted the same night we toured it and to have that offer be accepted the next day. That type of success would have not been possible without the level of professionalism, proactiveness, knowledge, strong teamwork, and guidance that Joe and his team excel in. Throughout the closing process of the home, Joe continued to be a great resource in sharing with us his recommended local contractors/vendors (ex: general contractors, landscapers, plumbers, etc) for our house needs and wants. Buying a house in the DMV area is tough especially as first-time home buyers. My fiancé and I never felt pressured or stressed during the house searching + buying process because we truly felt that our best interests were prioritized and well represented by Joe and his team.

Joe did a phenomenal job as our real estate agent! We were referred to the Davenport Group by a friend of a friend of a friend (pretty good if they’re telling that many folks about their experience), and were super impressed by the entire team! Joe was super flexible with scheduling, and when I’d hit him up with a question, he would respond within minutes!! I’ve bought a few houses, and from start to finish, I’ve never had a better agent than Joe!

They don't come better than Joe Gunerman! He helped me buy a dream condo in DC. He listened to what I was looking for and went above and beyond to make everything fall into place. I was extremely impressed with his communication and transparency from beginning to end & know I can continue to use him as a resource after the sale closed. He is thorough, patient and knows his stuff. Thank you, Joe!

Joe Gunerman was a consummate professional from the first inquiry phone call to closing day. He literally was there with me every step of the way. Understanding my timeline, the neighborhood where I wanted to buy, and effectively analyzing the Washington DC market, Joe consulted and advised in a timely manner and was able to answer every question that came up. He showed me various listings, got me into the places I wanted to see, and helped me objectively evaluate the pros and cons based on my particular needs. I enjoyed the process and our brainstorming post-showing chats. Anytime I had a thought on a particular listing or any other random comment, Joe was thoughtful, responsive, and most importantly trustworthy and easy to talk with candidly. With Joe on my team, I was very happy with the one-bedroom condo I purchased on Capitol Hill. Only someone who truly understood the DC market like Joe could get the ideal result I was looking for—a great property at the ideal location for me at the right price. We worked together as a team and were able to execute an effective negotiation for the property. Joe is a realtor I highly recommend without reservation, and will certainly continue to use Joe for future DMV transactions. I’m confident that you’ll also want Joe on your team. You won’t regret it.

After our first call with Joe Gunerman of the Davenport Group, there was no doubt we wanted to work with him. Easily the BEST decision we made. His experience as a realtor and extensive understanding of the Arlington and Alexandria market were invaluable. He listened to us express our hopes and concerns, and provided us with clear and informed recommendations, all the while never making us feel pressured. Joe proved to be a trustworthy advocate for the sale of our home, that resulted in an incredible experience and offer that was made possible thanks to him. If you're looking for an excellent realtor with a friendly and professional demeanor, who is extremely responsive and genuinely cares about your wants/needs, then don't hesitate to contact Joe. You won't regret it! We highly Joe and the Davenport Group!

I cannot begin to reccommend Joe and The Davenport group highly enough. During this process I was a first time home buyer for Washington DC and spent almost all of the buying process across the country in Arizona. I have unending thanks & gratitude for Joe Gunerman and the team at The Davenport Group for being the best team in the game. From the first time i met Joe (virtually), he was so welcoming, warm, fun, & helpful. Buying across the country was no easy task and they went above an beyond to make this process a breeze. I felt SO comfortable with Joe throughout this entire process & I just know i will be thankful for him every time I look back on my first home buying experience for the rest of my life! I had a million & 5 questions buying cross-nationally & in a big city as a first time buyer. Joe went above & beyond to educate me– He really wanted to make sure I didn't just “find a place” but that I loved it, that it was "home. I was able to secure the place below asking price, and it was as beautiful as I could imagine upon closing. He ensured every party that we worked with along the way had my best interest at heart. I wouldn't have known to do without him. He is a rockstar. I am forever grateful. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you to Joe and the whole team at The Davenport Group!

Joe was truly the best agent we could have hoped to partner with for our first home buying experience! He guided us through all the basics, answered our endless questions, was incredibly responsive, and helped us get the perfect house with a super creative strategy! Seriously you cannot ask for a better partner than Joe, and the support of the whole Davenport group!

I was new to the DC area and did not know if I was going to end up buying in DC, MD, or VA, but Joe was able to show me homes in all of them! Joe gave me his honest opinions about prices and showed me comps. He never pressured me to go in too high or over the price with which I was comfortable. I always felt like Joe was on my team and was not just trying to make a quick sale. He looked out for me throughout the process (and helped me negotiate with the seller!) I could not have asked for a better experience!!
