Client Reviews

Terry & her team did a remarkable job selling our home during these unprecedented times with the Covid-19 pandemic and the severe economic downturn. Terry was generous with her time & efforts, and provided superb guidance. She also took special care in listening to, and more importantly, abiding by our concerns. Compared to other brokers and agents we have used in the past, Terry more than earned her compensation. Terry truly understands the market. My wife & I highly recommend Terry to sell & buy your next home. Thank you, Terry. Keep up the good work.

Terry and her team are truly the real estate pros in MD. We could not have had a more positive experience in selling our Walkersville home. This was not our first time selling, and we can say without hesitation that Welcome Home Realty is the best when it comes to: Advising the homeowner as to what work needs to be on the home before selling, Realistically pricing for the market and a quick sale, Professionally staging, photographing and marketing your home, Advocating for you in the negotiation process, and Making the selling process go as easily as possible.

We took Terry’s advice (paint, carpet, other updates and repairs, as well as listing price) in a competitive market (there were 3 similar homes within a quarter mile of ours) and had an acceptable offer in just 3 days…for over our listing price. We could not have been happier! If we ever live in Maryland again, we will be calling Terry and the Welcome Home group first.

We just completed settlement on the second home we’ve sold through Terry and her team. My main criteria for an agent to sell a house is to actually engage in selling the house, not just listing it and hoping someone else will sell it. Terry exceeds at meeting that requirement. She is not just a professional; she is a knowledgeable, experienced, highly qualified expert. Her use of professional photographers and stagers is icing on an already prize-winning cake. She monitored every detail following the signing of the contract and squashed hitches before they even had a chance to fully materialize.

By the time we settled on the second house, we had already moved out of the area and Terry went to settlement without us and stayed until she knew our funds had been wired to our account. To top it off, we couldn’t be happier than to have received full price offers on both houses due in no small part to the staging and photography and her extensive marketing and showing follow-ups. If I could, I’d give Terry and her Welcome Home Team six stars since they’re better than what others think is the best. Terry’s clients are lucky people.

This team worked to help us to transition from a townhouse to a single family, and we could not have been more pleased. They were responsive, professional, and helped craft a strategy for our unique situation. We sold our home for a price at the top of my expectations, and found our dream home with their help as well. Recommended!

We were extremely fortunate to have found Terry. From the planning steps for the sale to the final paperwork stages we were supported by Terry and her office team as if we were always her primary concern. She understood the unique qualities of our quirky cabin and advocated for the property as if she were the homeowner herself. We had relocated to the opposite side of the country and she assumed the unofficial role as the de facto property manager in our absence. She coordinated and oversaw a few small maintenance issues that we were unable to do ourselves. This way way beyond what we would have expected from her but she was more than happy to assist in any way possible. Terry is the ultimate professional and we felt we had the best of friends helping us to sell our beloved home. We can’t possibly thank her enough.

Without Terry, Kristi, and the Welcome Home team, I probably wouldn’t have a home of my own right now. I went from a married, stay at home mom to a divorced working mom after living in Frederick for only two years. Not only did Terry help us not lose money on the new house, she helped me find financing to buy a new home that would suit my new status before we even gave her the listing on the house. Just that generosity would have earned her five stars in my book, but she and her team went even further. Kristi Burford kept in touch with me regularly through the entire six-month process. She really listened to my needs and concerns for the new home, and she never flagged in her assurance that we would find the perfect house for me and my children. She thought further ahead than I did and pointed out considerations that I was too overwhelmed to consider. She was readily available to show me a new listing at any time, often bringing them to my attention within hours of a house coming on the market. Terry’s marketing program is the most sophisticated one I’ve encountered. She really wowed me and the ex-husband with her professionalism, her understanding of how online listings work, her knowledge of pricing and her ability to negotiate. Working with her was by far the best home transaction experience I’ve ever had. The actual transaction was also very smooth. Once I had narrowed down my choices, Terry walked through the property with me really looking at the condition of the homes. She is VERY knowledgeable about home systems, which was of tremendous help when I made my final decisions. I can not praise Welcome Home Realty Group, Kristi Burford, and Terry LaScola highly enough.

Terry La Scola and Kristi Burford, of Welcome Home Realty, made the difficult job of buying a perfect home and moving much easier due to their professionalism and knowledge of the market and the Frederick community. I first met Terry six years ago when she helped my daughter and her family find their current home and negotiate an amazing purchase price. When I decided to move closer to them, I knew I could count on Terry, Kristi and the whole team to provide the guidance I needed – and I was NOT disappointed. Although I had stringent requirements as to the size of home I was looking for and the furniture I was bringing to my new home, they found the one place that matched my requirements and then negotiated a significant reduction in the sale price. I heartily recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home in the Frederick area.

Kristi and her team at Welcome home realty group did a really great job for me, I had priority such as: School rating should be more that 8+. good community with colonial, cooking natural gas – no electric and most important the given price range. Kristi has really good knowledge of the surrounding/location, so it becomes easy to find house quick. This group not only doing the job of selling or buying house but most important is they ensures their customer are fully satisfied. Starting from mortgage approval, making offer, acceptance by both parties, getting things done like home inspection and repairs if needed and settlement. Kristi is really pro-active and quick in response.

Welcome Home Reality Group exceeded my expectations when both selling our SFH (family home of almost 18 years) and finding a TH to accommodate my belongings and meeting very specific criteria I had, including price. I know that I’m not easy to please and it would be difficult to find what I wanted for the price I wanted it, but with the help (and patience) of Kristi, WE DID IT! I am SO HAPPY! On the selling side, God Bless Terry! She is truly amazing. She is an expert. She knows this industry. Just trust her and it will work out. What I appreciated more than anything else was her level of compassion because this process was extremely challenging for me and we had a few obstacles along the way. I’m so thankful. WHRG (the entire team… Shari, Lori, Amanda, Kristi, and their fearless leader, Terry… and their referrals) EXCEEDED my VERY HIGH expectations!

We had an excellent experience with the Welcome Home Realty Group. Terry’s advice and marketing recommendations were right on target. I would recommend her highly to others.

This is our second time using Terry LaScola and her team.. they are AmAZing! I originally found her through Dave Ramsey’s endorsed realtors because I knew she could help us make wise financial decisions as first time home buyers. We ended up loving that home and making a nice profit on it 5 years later, which helped us purchase the home of our dreams just recently! Her team worked miracles for us, getting our house on the market quite literally overnight and selling it in one week. We were under a very tight schedule. They took care of all the details that are completely over my head, while keeping us very informed along the way. Moving is supposed to be stressful, but honestly it couldn’t have gone any better. We are so grateful for the integrity and professionalism of this company and we recommend them highly to even our own family and friends! You want Terry on your side :o)

Terry and her team were helpful and responsive thru the entire sales process. They guided us with staging our home and came prepared with staging items from their inventory Terry negotiated a fantastic deal on our home! We have recommended Terry to our daughter, and she is now using Terry as a buyers agent. Terry is professional and personable and will work diligently with her team until your house is sold!

My husband and I have had the pleasure of both buying and selling a home with Terry and her team. We can’t recommend them highly enough. It was comforting to know that we had a true pro in our corner working to get us the most favorable deal in each circumstance. Terry was very patient with us in our search for a home to buy. When we were selling she was able to get us under contract in less than two weeks in a challenging market! Her professionalism and industry knowledge are unmatched!

“We found Terry on Zillow and decided to call her given her track record. She was the last realtor we interviewed and although has a higher commission rate, was FAR and AWAY the best realtor we met with. She was extremely professional and attentive, and has a proven business model that we trusted would give us the best results.

Terry and her team- Amanda and Lori- walked us through each part of the selling process (this was our first home sale) and were always immediately responsive to any needs or concerns we had. Many of the services Terry offers as part of the commission- such as professional staging, amazing professional photography, and pre-market appraisals- were absolutely imperative to the quick sale of our home in a tough market.

Terry and her team were able to get our home under contract in 27 days during the worst, snow-filled winter in years. We were under three months from listing to closing. Not only was the house under contract quickly, but the offer was almost list price with very little back in buyer credit. She not only helped us, but also helped our neighborhood get back at a place it should have been.

I highly recommend Terry and her team. They are, without a doubt, the best at what they do. Not only are they professional, experienced, and efficient, they are wonderful people. Even though they have many clients, they make you feel like you are number one. Exactly how it should be. Thanks Terry, Amanda, and Lori!”

I was very, very happy with Terry LaScola and her team. Not only was Terry extremely knowledgeable and professional, but she was also compassionate and sensitive regarding the sale of my home. She always explained the process to me in detail, so I knew what to expect from the beginning to the end of the sale of my home. Additionally, she was very upfront about any issues that might effect me. If I called either Terry or her office staff, I received a friendly greeting, and always an answer to my questions. I hope to purchase a home and the near future, and I would definately use Terry and her team again, to look for a home. I highly recommend the Terry La Scola Team.

Terry and team are fantastic! They are very responsive and answer all questions. I was a first time home buyer and they treated me like family. I felt comfortable trusting their advice and judgement. They found me exactly the house I wanted, in my location area and within my budget. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a great home buying/selling experience.

Terry is a highly professional and talented realtor-absolutely the BEST in the area! She had a plan for the sell of our home and we followed her recommendations and sold our home within a few days, for above asking price! If you need a realtor, Terry is the one to contact.

We worked with Terry La Scola and her team to sell our home during the Fall of 2013. I called Terry after reading all of her positive reviews on Zillow. I met with two other agents, but chose to work with Terry because she had a very professional system for listing a home. And, she had an excellent understanding of how buyers search for homes today.

Terry and her team were very efficient and professional from day one. We received helpful hints from the staging appointment. The photos and listing were excellent and really brought out the best of our home. We always received quick responses from her team.

Most importantly, Terry provided excellent advice during what can be a very stressful time. Our home was under contract within 2 weeks of going on the market.

I would highly recommend Terry La Scola to anyone who is considering listing their home. She and her team absolutely lived up to their excellent reviews.

Great experience with Terry at the helm. Even with a very tough condo market in Bethesda, she cultivate an offer from ridiculously low to an acceptable compromise. If I could give her 8 stars for Negotiation skills I would. At closing the buyer came in asking for a ton of cash in escrow to pay for fixes to appliances – one a Viking refrigerator recall and the other a small light on the stove. Seriously??? I was ready to walk away, but Terry saved the day by pointing out a clause in the contract in Montgomery County for as-is transfer of appliances. YAY!

Her and her team ARE great!! Help us with ever step. Return calls quietly. Extra help all the time. Like the moving boxes. Have recommend already Great job. house sold in about 10 days in Sept after school started.

I picked Terry after interviewing couple of realtors, she came a cross as a professional realtor who knows her business, although I could get a better rate from others, I chose Terry, and it was an excellent & wise choice, she worth the fee that she charged, The most impressive thing about dealing with Terry’s team is her assistant Amanda, she makes everything & every process easy for you. I strongly suggest Terry, she & her team will be my first choice if I plan to buy a property in Frederick, MD

I would highly recommend Terry and her team if you are selling your home! Terry and her team are professional, effective and knowledgeable. She and her team easily handle all of the details (and there are many) required when selling your home, and they do a great job of staying in touch and keeping you informed as the process moves forward.

We really appreciated the assistance of a professional home stager that helped us get our house in picture-perfect shape before photos were taken. The photos turned out beautifully, and our home was well-represented online.

Although selling your home is a nerve-wracking and stressful time, Terry and her team do their absolute best to answer all your questions and walk you through the process with care and concern. The whole experience could not have been more positive!

Terry’s preparation and energy level were impressive. She walked us through every step of the process and her guidance was always spot on. WE have recommended her to several of our friends and each of them has been equally impressed.

We sold our house much quicker then expected. She helped us determine a reasonable price and instructed us on what we needed to do to sell our house. We had a contract in just over a month and sold it for what we were expecting.

This is a very interesting time to buy a home. I was glad that we had Terry beside us working through every detail. She knows the local area. She was always very professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Terry and would definitely work with her again.

As first time home-buyers, Terry coached us through the entire home-buying process and proved to be very knowledgeable in every aspect, from local expertise, lending, negotiation, and building quality/inspection. We quickly came to trust Terry not only for her industry expertise, but also her display of high moral and ethical standards.

Terry did an amazing job selling our townhome. It was a challenging short sale and she that was under contract very quickly (within 2 weeks) but took a long time to close. She worked very closely with the banks and our title company to ensure the best possible outcome. Terry has a great team and I would recommend her to anyone!!!

Terry helped me purchase my first town home and then helped me sell it two years later in a very reasonable amount of time when I had to move out of state. On top of that, I was able to make a decent profit off of the house. I’ll continue to recommend her and her team to anyone I know that is looking to buy or sell a home!

Terry was a pleasure to work with. She moved a house in a couple months after it had languished for a year and a half. I would have saved a lot of money had I known about Terry sooner. I’d recommend her without hesitation.

As a first-time home buyer, I found Terry to be extremely helpful throughout the entire process. I knew next to nothing about the home-buying process coming in, and Terry served as a valuable guide and resource in answering any questions I had. I found a great home and felt prepared and confident in each step to settlement. I would highly recommend Terry!

Terry was a great to work with. She represented us both as a buyer’s and seller’s agent. Terry made sure everything went smoothly and was always responsive. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home in this area.

Terry is very attentive, responsive, detail-oriented, knowledgeable, friendly, caring, understanding, and professional. Her knowledge of the market and her years of experience were vital during our home search. My husband and I will continue to work with Terry for all our buying and selling, as well as questions about our new home. – October ’13
