It is really quite amazing that we bought and sold a home during this upheaval and, Delia, we are grateful for the role you and James played in making it happen. We could not be more pleased with how the sale of our lovely home turned out, and we have you, James, and WFP to thank for that. Looking back on this experience will always bring a smile — thank you.
James has been in this business for over 10 years now, so I consider him a savvy vet. Even in his younger/greener days, he was wise beyond his years. Back in Spring 2012 I was searching for my first home, and James was the man to have in my corner for exploration, negotiation, attentiveness to details, etc. A best friend and fine agent
Working with James through the home-buying experience was great. James knew the areas that I was targeting well and was able to provide me with a lot of useful information concerning the different locations. He made the entire process of purchasing my home much less painful than I otherwise imagine it would have been. I highly recommend.
James was fantastic — very responsive and always able to meet when we needed him. After losing out on our first few offers to bids that were 6 figures above asking, he stayed positive and we ended up closing on an incredible home in our preferred neighborhood. Our mortgage lender — a friend — couldn't believe the closing price on our home. James' sound advice, which included preaching patience, was instrumental to our success. We highly recommend him.
I've known James for about two years now and I can confidently give him five stars across the board. He worked with my wife and I to find us the exact home we wanted in our neighborhood of choice at our price point. We toured a bunch of houses to find the right one, and his extensive knowledge of the area and the local housing stock helped steer us away from homes that would require too much work and find the home with the right bones. James lives in DC in a neighborhood nearby, so he's been a constant source of information well after closing. From recommendations for contractors and plumbers to knowing the best restaurants, James has consistently helped my wife and I feel like we're home. At this point James has helped several of our college friends and coworkers find their homes, and I would recommend him to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home in the DMV.
I got great results, they were very helpful to me during an extremely stressful time. I had a realtor prior to Delia McCormick, tried to sell my property, and had no results with them. I made my appointment to meet with Delia after I had some surgery. When I came out of the surgery the house had been destroyed by flooding. You can imagine, being ill and coming out of a situation like that, not knowing what to do. But Delia was very calm and professional. She hung in there with me during the whole process. They were the very best that you could be and ended up being able to sell the house. They were very knowledgeable, patient, and professional.
James represented us in the sale of a very difficult property in DC and the purchase of a home in Maryland. He's an outstanding agent and gave us confidence in every area of the transaction, whether advising on the market, negotiating the deal, coordinating inspection/financing/closing, or recommending reputable third-party vendors. We wouldn't consider using anyone else.
We worked with James on our home purchase, and he was great! In a couple of short weeks we found a home and made an offer. His local knowledge of the area and network of contacts made it extremely easy. We're glad we found him and would highly recommend him as an agent.
James is very professional and handled my real estate transaction with care and integrity. He is very pleasant to work with. I would recommend him to my friends and family.
James was my agent for the purchase of my very first home, a Co-op, in Washington, DC. James was referred to me by close friends who had used his services in the year prior. He was very knowledgeable about the DC housing market and very patient/attentive to all my questions and concerns. We found my home after just one day of touring. He quickly negotiated a significant seller subsidy for me to help cover closing costs, as I had not been saving for a very long time. Closing went smoothly with no issues. One thing I appreciated most about James was his long list of connections in the industry. He introduced me to several excellent lenders and a great home inspection company. Since I purchased my home, James and I still chat regularly to catch up or discuss new properties. He hosts events for his clients throughout the year at his home in Washington, DC, which are always fun and have great food. I definitely plan to work with James in the coming years as I look to buy a larger home in Northern Virginia.
I was very pleased overall. Every time there was an obstacle, they were resourceful and came up with a solution. On multiple occasions, there was an issue and they always told me what to do or who to call. They always gave me the information right away. They were very responsive.
James was the ultimate professional with great real estate market insight. He approached our home deal with a plan in mind, and we appreciated everything he did for us. As first-time home buyers, we were lucky to work with James, someone who is an expert, articulate, and patient and easy to work with. We couldn’t be happier throughout the process, and I would fully recommend James 100%.
James is a fantastic Real Estate Professional. He was key in finding us a condo that we love and helped us get it for the best possible price. He is a DC-area native, so he knows the area better than your average agent! Make sure you go with James!
We really enjoyed working with James. He negotiated a great deal on our dream townhouse during a market with short supply. James was always available during our search (including nights and weekends) and quick to set up and attend appointments on new listings. Great personality, very knowledgeable and gives sound advice!
As first-time home buyers, we had no idea where to begin in the process. James helped us every step of the way and was available day or night to answer any questions we may have had. He is extremely knowledgeable about the market and provided great guidance for us throughout the whole process. We would recommend him to anyone.
James Gregory and the wonderful McCormick Gregory Team were my agents during the sale of my DC house. James walked me through the entire process and was always available to respond to my numerous concerns. From the moment I met him, James helped me liaise with the right contractors and advised me on how to showcase and stage the property for success. It paid off, and the house sold in just couple of days! Thanks, James and the McCormick Gregory Team for making this very emotional process less painful and actually a successful one.
James and his team helped us find our first house during the winter and summer of 2018. We visited property after property, and James was very patient with us as we crossed properties off our list and narrowed down what we were looking for. We ultimately found our house in the beginning of the summer, and James helped us negotiate the deal and we even beat out an all-cash offer. We found James very easy to work with, responsive, patient, and perhaps most important, very experienced. If there was ever a time when James could not show us a property, another member of his team would seamlessly step in so that we didn't miss out on seeing any houses. We would definitely recommend James and his team to other potential buyers (or sellers) in the area!
James made the process of selling my condo as easy as it could be. He was always available for any questions I had and provided me updates on the status of the sale. His team is very knowledgeable about the market, the sale process, and were able to answer any question or scenario I presented.
James was great from the search through negotiation and closing. His local knowledge and responsiveness helped us win in a multiple-offer situation. As first-time buyers he was helpful in teaching and guiding us through the process by keeping us from feeling overwhelmed.

James was awesome to work with. His insight and experience were invaluable in securing me the home I wanted at the lowest price possible. I can't recommend him enough.
James helped my wife and I buy our first ever home, and we couldn't have asked for a better agent helping us through this process! He was with us at every step, explaining all of the complicated aspects of home buying in an easy-to-understand way. At the end of the way, we closed on the house that we wanted at the price that we wanted, and it was all thanks to James. we highly recommend him!
James and his team at WFP were the reason we got our house in the ultra-competitive DC market. Without his expertise and guidance, we'd probably still be on the hunt!
James was an excellent agent for the sale of our Glover Park condo. He educated us about the process beforehand, effectively marketed our unit while it was on the market, and managed the closing with like a pro. I highly recommend James.
Our relationship with James spanned over a couple of years from when we initially showed interest in moving until the big day. He was very patient with us, and we never felt hassled or pressured to make any decisions regarding the sale of our home or purchasing a new home. When it came time to listing, he worked around our schedule and gave us great suggestions to prepare our home for sale. We sold our home in less than a month, from showing to closing! He was a great partner and we would definitely recommend him and his practice to anyone looking for a smooth, hassle-free selling/buying process.
James was fantastic in helping my wife and I find a home. He was always responsive when we needed him but also cared about what we wanted. Unlike other agents who we have worked with in the past, James was never pushy and always made time for us over the course of a long search with many tours. He knew the local area very well and was not simply trying to secure a sale.
Have worked with James on several transactions, and each time it has been smooth. He's very knowledgeable about the area and has some great insight. He was very flexible in terms of times and always accessible. Would highly recommend!

The McCormick/Gregory team at Washington Fine Properties could not have made the home-buying process any easier.

We would recommend the McCormick/Gregory team to everyone.
Cheers,
Your team was superbly competent, responsive, and diligent through the entire process; no small feat given the curve balls along the way.
Many, many thanks.
I am writing to share with you my opinion about Delia McCormick in helping us sell our family house. This was a very difficult task because of the age of the house, the number of similar properties on sale in the area, and because of the season. Delia was superb in coaching us through this experience as well as understanding, helpful, caring and delivering the ultimate result. We cannot imagine how anybody could ask for more in a similar situation like ours. We'd like to express our utmost praise and thankfulness for her endeavors. Additionally, her husband John and son James stepped in at critical moments to help us throughout the process. What an amazing team! We won't hesitate to recommend Delia to others in the area.
Sincerely,

James was wonderful to work with throughout the process. He listened to the type of home and neighborhood we were looking for and really delivered. He was so knowledgeable of the neighborhoods in DC and Maryland and had a great sense of price/value. He was incredibly responsive and available to walk through houses. His advice during the offer process was spot-on and, ultimately, got us into a great home. He was so easy to work with and, in general, a great guy. I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy in the DC area.
James and Delia are the consummate professionals. They sold three properties for me and did a great job in each one. Their patience and fortitude made it fun to work with them. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to get the best for their home.
