"WORSE AND DANGEROUS PLACE FOR HOME BUYERS AND AGENTS, PLUS IF YOU ARE BLACK, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE. YOU WILL BE TREATED LIKE TRASH HERE. OMG where do I Start. Who pays their agent 50% commissions in the 21st century when awesome companies like Samson Properties offers 100% commissions + trainings + free E&O plus free headshots and all kinds of freebies and a great company culture. CB Potomac office almost killed my dream of becoming a real estate Rockstar. I started a little over a year ago but did 24 transactions and over $10 million in combined sales volume as a 1st year agent. As a new agent, these people gave me a 55% bonus rate and was taking 5% every time for franchise fees and all kinds of fees, I never used the office, made million dollar deals on my own with little to no support (thank God for my excellent mentor George who clearly deserved his 25% cut on my commissions for the 1st 3 transactions) so I made about 25% on those transactions but as time went by and I was making millions of dollars worth of volume with zero leads from this office, (of course they send the leads to all their white friends. They pressure you to use their title company and lender. I mean this experience was a nightmare) I started receiving offers from other brokerages like Samson for a 100% commissions and contacted the broker to give her the opportunity to offer me a better commission rate so I don't have to accept the offers, not only does she ignore you or never respond to issues in a timely manner, she just started bashing the other firms for being unprofessional and how agents were going there and coming back to CB. Believe me, they didn't even try to get close to 90% nope, rather Kelly sent me a very insulting message stating how all I care about is money. Meanwhile I decided to join Samson and they completely abandoned my clients that had pending new construction transactions, the way Kelly handled one of them traumatized him so much he gave up on the transac transaction. The other client ended up alone til closing, no assistance with walkthrough, settlement, nothing, Kelly and CB sat down and were just waiting for the commission check, again remember these clients are middle class black people, they're not their typical white Millionaire friends. They would have never treated them with so much disrespect and disregard. I remember I even offered to take care of these clients for the 5 months they still had before completion of their new built, once again CB wanted me to do all the work and be paid the $3000 they sent me out of an almost $12,000 commission check. If not, they said Kelly herself will handle the clients if I couldn't accept the pay cut for leaving. Guess what, the clients hardly ever heard from Kelly before and after closing. WOW who only cares about the money here. These people are negligent and racist, I am glad I joined Samson, completely night and day, I love real estate even more every day."

"One of the best managed offices I have worked at during the last 20 years! Kudos to our manager Kelly Nicklas and her crew! It has it all! Also being in the middle of Park Potomac is a plus!"

"I can’t say enough about the great experience I had with Mojgon Pirnia in buying my own home. Her engaging personality and positive attitude is priceless! She is both energetic and hard working. She took the time to listen to me and understand my needs, then helped me find the perfect home and aggressively negotiate the best price. She is very knowledgeable on all aspects …"

"This is the worst company to even think about hiring to represent you Patricia marks who works for them miss led me into purchasing my first house and they not doing nothing about it the county is taking me to court for something that they created it."
