Margaret and PJ made the whole process of selling my home as easy and stress free as possible. I appreciated their timely communication and help with things big and small every step of the way. They both were a joy to work with and I highly recommend the PB team to anyone looking to sell their home in NOVA.

Over the past 4.5 years, we've had the pleasure of working with PJ Braun to buy two homes and sell one. PJ has been consistently outstanding throughout each transaction. He's not only incredibly friendly and approachable but also highly informative, guiding us through the process with ease. His expertise and calm demeanor were invaluable, and we always felt confident with him by our side.
When selling our home, the entire Poole/Braun team was involved, and it truly felt like working with family. They were all hands-on, supportive, and made the experience as stress-free as possible. PJ’s expertise and the team's collective effort gave us confidence every step of the way. We highly recommend PJ Braun and the Poole/Braun team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Norma Stratton with Long and Foster has been our 'go-to' realtor since we first met her at an open house over 20 years ago. Her knowledge of the market in and around Alexandria combined with her caring customer service cannot be outdone. As part of the Braun Team, Norma and Peter Braun brought a level of expertise and services that ensured success. They knew the touches our town home needed in order to make it not only presentable, but market attractive/competitive. As out-of- state homeowners, we fully trusted their decisions and recommended service providers. They kept us fully informed of repairs, open houses, potential buyers and all the necessary closing dates and documents. We whole heartedly recommend Norma and the Braun team to anyone looking for a home or selling.

Buying a house through Poole/Braun is truly a team and family effort. We could never have imagined feeling as welcomed to our new home in Hollin Hills as we did with PJ, his wife Cecelia, his Mom Lee and Dad Peter and their colleagues Margaret and Norma.

PJ's deep knowledge, enthusiasm and respect for mid-century modern homes was a huge plus for us in purchasing ours! We moved to a brand-new part of the country for us -- yet felt instantly at home, connected and supported in the community, because of PJ's joyful generosity of introductions and resources.

Thank you, PJ and team at Poole/Braun for all you did to make us feel like family!

Poole/Braun was awesome to work with and they did a great job marketing and selling my house. They are experts in the area and care deeply about their clients. Lee and Peter made everything go as easily as possible. I would highly recommend them for anyone buying or selling in the Hollin Hills/Old Town Alexandria areas.

The Poole Braun Team has been an integral part of our real estate growth over the last few years! From working with PJ to find our first home, to selling it and purchasing a new one years later - he has provided not only constant guidance and encouragement, but true enthusiasm for our new phases of life. He is patient, positive and is always willing to think through things right alongside us. He is a trusted partner in every sense of the word, and we could not recommend him and the rest of his team enough!

Lee Braun and her team did a fantastic job marketing and selling my house at 7210 Beechwood Road in Alexandria. They staged beautifully and captured everything stylishly with professional photographs and video. After a super successful open house on a rainy weekend, I was pleased to accept a good offer in few days later. This group knows their market and are true professionals!

I had such an enjoyable experience working with PJ Braun to purchase my home in northern VA. I wound up in the neighborhood I wanted and couldn’t be more thrilled with my home.

Not only did PJ provide guidance on the purchase itself, he referred me to multiple service people/companies upon my request. Since I am knew to VA, this was a huge help!

Peter and Lee Braun were simply awesome in the sale of my home. While they are located in Virginia and my house was in Maryland, they made sure I did not have to travel back to Virginia for the closing. They were also very contributory in making my house appear well as a clean and pleasant appearing home, placing simple decorative items in the home. I could not have asked for better agents to help me! Thank you! Thank you!

My wife and I worked with Lee and Peter to sell our Alexandria home. They're very well known in the community, and were highly recommended to us by several neighbors. They are candid, thoroughly competent in marketing, house design, and real estate market conditions, and coached us through preparing our house for a timely sale. As a team, Lee and Peter (and their very capable son PJ, as well as their efficient staff) advocated excellently for us. I have no doubt that we will ask them to represent us again. If you're seeking a successful sale of your home, we can't recommend the Braun Team highly enough.

PJ and Lee Braun are true professionals who brought effortless ease to the entire transaction, when we sold a condo at Belle View. Their advice on how to get our condo ready for sale was helpful and it also saved us money. They even assisted us in finding the right people to help us out .
More importantly, they are good problem solvers. They interacted successfully with the mortgage agent when the buyer's loan application seemed to hit a snag.
We wish them continued success.

The whole Poole/Braun team was easy and wonderful to work with! They gave great advice about home improvements, and responded quickly to questions or problems. Margaret Keagle was helpful, supportive, caring and patient! She carefully explained so many things to me in order to help me make decisions. Asking Margaret and the Poole/Braun team to work with me was one of my best decisions ever!

PJ and the Poole Braun team were absolute dreams to work with as we searched for -- and ultimately purchased -- a home that we love. From day one, PJ really took the time to understand what we were looking for in a home. His honesty, candor, and impressive knowledge of homes and neighborhoods in the region were invaluable as we searched for our dream home -- which he ultimately identified himself! With Poole Braun, you don't just feel like a client but a member of the family. I can't recommend them enough.

Peter and Lee were fantastic to work with and are long time experienced, professional realtors that bring so much to the table. We were out of town at the time our home was listed and they took care of everything from staging, listing, holding an open house and selling it very quickly. They also have great service providers who took care of fixing/repairing a number of things so we could close on time. My wife and I would heartily recommend the Poole Braun team to all buyers and sellers.

The Poole/Braun Team made buying my new home a great experience. They really listened about what I wanted, educated me about the possibilities, and helped me find and purchase my dream home. Buying a new home is stressful, but the Poole/Braun Team made it a smooth, positive experience.

Margaret Keagle worked with me for two years while I waited for the right time to purchase. She is not only extremely knowledgeable but also very helpful. It is wonderful knowing you have a true professional taking care of you. And she made the whole process fun! Got the exact property I wanted and a new friend, too!

PJ and the Poole/Braun team were incredible throughout our entire home buying process.

I would highly recommend PJ to anyone looking to purchase a home - our experience was nothing but perfect.

PJ Braun really delivered the gold for us! He coordinated his team members to best market and present our condominium for sale and we had a solid offer in TWO days. It was the smoothest property sale we have ever experienced and I personally recommend him to anyone buying/selling real estate in the Northern Virginia area. Thanks again PJ!

This was a difficult time to find and buy a house but thanks to the Poole/Braun team we ended up with a wonderful house. But their service extended far beyond this. It seemed to us they were our partner in the entire process and they were always there with us at every step. Even after closing, when the deal was completely, done they visited us at the new house to help us get settled and find our way in a new environment. Perhaps the easiest way to sum up our experience is that this never felt like a business arrangement, rather it was like working with close friends. We are very grateful to them.
