McNelis & Associates of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices PenFed Realty

We had a truly wonderful experience with Chris McNelis and the PennFed Berkshire Hathaway Solomons team. From the very beginning, they showed not only professionalism and deep knowledge, but a genuine compassion that meant so much during a difficult transition with my parents. Their exceptional customer service, expertise, quality, patience, and especially their gentle, supportive approach made me feel cared for every step of the way. Their expert understanding of the market, and their ability to position both our properties properties realistically and thoughtfully, gave me an incredible sense of trust and confidence during a time when it was needed most. If you’re looking for a real estate team that is reliable, trustworthy, and truly cares about the people they serve, I cannot recomme

Wonderful experience with Chris McNelis and team over two sales, one waterfront property and one "unicorn" property that required a really well-planned and executed marketing strategy. With the waterfront property, pricing was key: Chris knows waterfront. The pricing was precisely right, driving market interest while preserving as much of our capital as possible. Ah! But the unicorn property. Chris and team marketed a house with unusual details and three large outbuildings, just right-- appealing to folks yearning to flee the urban life for space and peace, yet remain close to the city. During a down market, right before the pandemic, we were able to sell the property above the neighborhood price range to people who not only understood what they were buying, but appreciated what th

We started working with Chris McNelis and her team at least a year before listing our property. They provided very useful feedback on our property, including strengths and weaknesses as well as potential investments so that we were able to hit the ground running once we listed. As luck would have it, a shutdown ensued a week after listing, which completely froze the local housing market. Chris and Will persevered, navigating us through the storm. When the clouds parted, Chris and her team didn't miss a beat and through their guidance we successfully sold very shortly afterwards. From their savvy marketing and sound pricing strategy, to their deft-handling of last minute negotiations, We highly recommend their services to anyone looking to buy or sell in Southern Maryland. They are first-cl

Lewie Aldridge is the best choice to be your real estate agent. He guided me through the process and was on top of everything during my condo purchase. He was very knowledgeable and got back to me immediately anytime I reached out. He checked on me regularly and went over and above to make sure everything went smoothly. I now consider Lewie amongst one of my friends. I recommend him with the highest of praise.

The McNelis team is fortunate to have Lewie Aldridge recently join their team of professionals. Lewie is a long time veteran of the real estate industry having owned his own brokerage for several decades. Lewie has sold two of my properties for top dollar since he began in real estate. The first property I could not get anyone to effectively promote and sell due to its remoteness in the mountains. Lewie recently sold our residence in Maryland in the agreed contact time and at above our expected sales price. I would highly recommend Lewie for his professionalism and determination.
