Monty Boland
Agent
Testimonials
"
I own and lease out a lovely apartment in a troubled building with a great location. Monty was attentive from start to finish. As a result, the process of renewing the lease on the unit was smooth and successful. He was always courteous and professional -- keeping track of deadlines, making the extra efforts, and answering each of my many questions. He made me more money by recommending a way to win a higher percentage increase than I was originally considering! The tenant agreed to the increase and I am happy for the additional income. I highly recommend Monty's services. Hire him!

Monty helped me buy an investment property and he was amazing to work with. Monty is knowledgeable, smart, patient, cheerful, attentive and very client oriented. He listens to what you need, helps you think through your objectives, provides sound advice and works with you providing ongoing support. Monty is responsive, punctual and reliable, but he is also flexible and responsive. If you want an excellent agent at your side, I highly recommend him.

To be quite honest, I probably would not have followed through on a home purchase if I hadn't been working with Monty. As a nervous and completely uninformed first-timer, I tested the patience of a few realtors before finding one as caring and professional as he was. Monty took the time to "hear" what I wanted in a house and home and worked to help match the market to my preferences rather than suggesting that I "settle" for what was available. In addition, he ensured that I met and understood all of the requirements and expectations of house buying and home ownership, from loan qualification to inspections to closing -- and he has even provided follow-up information on service contracting and furnishings that might be needed.
Monty was a joy to work with throughout the experience. Thanks to him, I have a beautiful house in a great neighborhood. While I sincerely hope that this will be my "forever home", I will not hesitate to call him again if I have occasion to buy another property or a need to sell, and I have provided his contact info to friends who are considering moves. I will always be glad I found Monty Boland!

Monty Boland is an outstanding, diligent and very knowledgeable about the housing market in the MD/DC metropolitan area. He managed to help me purchase a condominium at Grosvenor Park after my bid wasn’t accepted, because the first offer was rejected and the bank then lowered the price by $20,000. Monty learned of this and notified me, resulting in the purchase of the condo at a very reduced cost. It’s all because Monty strives to help his clients in the best possible way.

Monty did an excellent job helping us find our dream home. He was patient, knowledgeable and professional every step of the way. He even stayed after settlement to jump start our car in the parking lot. Above and beyond.

From our initial contact when I inquired about a property to sifting of possibilities to a final decision, Monty was available, prompt in his response and forthcoming with information. He established good rapport and answered all my questions and sought answers when he didn't know something. His follow up and follow through were much appreciated. Dealing with my daughter in Boston who was seeking the property and me here in Maryland, her on-site rep could have been tricky but Monty handled it with clear communication. Five stars!

Monty is a wonderful realtor! We were first time home buyers in an extremely competitive market and Monty was the perfect person to navigate the process for us. He was ALWAYS available to show us a house, even on short notice. He was quick to get us comps in the neighborhoods and check in with the listing agent for all the homes that we were intersted in ASAP to get a feel for the situation, and help us get an offer in quickly if we wanted to go that route. Most importantly, he NEVER pressured us to go above our budget, or move on something we weren't sure about. In a little over a month, we purchased a home that checked all of our boxes. In this crazy market, we were worried we would have to purchase at the top of our budget, but we were able to get a home well within our budget with Monty's help. We highly recommend him!

I met Monty in 2018, and for both personal reasons and the pandemic I thought it would be impossible. Monty kept answering every question and doubts, kept showing solutions and giving me all the encouragement I needed to keep going! He is not an average real estate agent! He is the one! Personal! Human! Has a beautiful family and understands how personal it is own a home! Thank you Monty!!

Monty Boland is an excellent communicator. This makes him a good listener. He can determine his client’s “real” real estate needs. I have worked with Monty on two moves...so far. His recommendations and guidance were invaluable.

Monty Boland was great to work with! We really appreciate that he reached out to us to sell our condo after helping us rent it a few years ago, the timing was perfect and it would have never happened without his connections and ingenuity. The process was as seamless and smooth as we've ever seen. He was very professional and always responsive and anticipated questions and potential issues. Many thanks Monty!

Monty has been fantastic through the whole process! We knew what we were looking for, but were in no hurry to buy. Monty persevered and regularly sent us properties to consider. When we finally found the right one, he was like a pit bull advocating for our interests, navigating around costly challenges and guiding us through settlement. He kept us well informed and never hesitated to pick up the phone on our behalf. Monty earned our unqualified recommendation.

Monty is fantastic! In 2013 we worked with him to sell our house in Chevy Chase for above asking.
He went the extra mile with his wife who is an interior designer to get our kitchen remodeled and staged for sale which made the photos beautiful.
I’d recommend Monty to anyone who is looking for the best!

Monty found our new home. It was such a pleasant experience from the first moment we "met" over email.
Monty worked hard to understand both my husband's and my similar and different likes in a home. I honestly do not think I have ever encountered anyone as positive, or patient, as Monty.
Once we found the home we both liked Monty helped us locate a lender, an incredible building inspection company, and he followed through on all of the many things that are easy to overlook after a contract is negotiated.
I cannot tell you how many times my husband and I have looked at each other and said how thankful we were that Monty represented us in our purchase.
I found his insights, knowledge, and experience invaluable to us.

Monty has been a true pleasure to work with. We started working with Monty in 2016 when my wife and I were searching for our first home in Montgomery County, MD (MoCo). Despite being newcomers to the market, Monty made it a stress and hassle free process. He was always available to discuss each step of the way whether in person, by phone, or email.
As a lifelong resident of MoCo, Monty knows the area very well and has a lot of insights that other realtors won’t have. For example, Monty knows the reputations of local businesses (e.g., lenders, roofers, home inspectors, contractors, you name it) which saved us from having to spend a lot of time in the vetting process.
Most importantly, we always felt like Monty had our best interests at heart during the home buying process, and that resulted in a low stress, low pressure, enjoyable experience!
We now consider Monty to be a close friend and we’re once again working with Monty as we look to upsize our home.
Thanks, Monty!

Monty Boland was fantastic.
He understood what I needed. Persistent but patient. We only toured three places. He understood. Could not have worked out better.
I always felt like he was “on it.”
Never felt annoyed by the process. Looking to buy again soon.
Good luck!

I can’t say enough nice things about Monty. He not only helped us find a true gem of a house but helped us navigate the purchase process, helped us with new homeowner projects, and helped us get our previous condo rented. Monty can do it all. Any real estate agent can setup an email alert for you with random properties based on some variables. Monty actually spends time getting to know you and what things are important. Then he helps find properties that truly meet your needs. We only viewed 4 houses before we found the right one. Through Monty’s superb negotiation skills we went under contract in 3 days and were ready to close in only a couple of weeks. Finally, I think what makes Monty a great agent, besides his local knowledge, responsiveness, process, and negotiation skills, is that he has an incredible team of contractors ready to help you turn any house into a home. Monty didn't just say goodbye at the closing table. He helped us and manage all the little projects we needed to do as homeowners (painting, chimney sweeps, ADT, utilities, etc). Monty not only has a “guy” for everything, but professional contractors, painters, landscapers, etc. We enjoyed working with him so much that we had him helped us rent our Condo in D.C. Again, Monty managed that process with incredible responsiveness and skill.

Monty made finding our last two apartments so quick and easy, even when the timelines were extremely tight. He knew exactly what we were looking for and was always able to negotiate additional concessions. Looking forward to working together again on the next one!

Monty has been so incredibly helpful with my apartment hunt! I am moving from out of state, and he was able to coordinate with my father to find several great listings and to help us narrow it down to one that checks pretty much every must-have box I can think of. His knowledge of the area, quick responses, and patience were all highly appreciated, and I’d definitely recommend seeking him out if you are trying to find your perfect place.

Monty is a professional, knowledgeable and savvy agent that facilitates a stress free process. He is polite, attentive and responsive and provides his service with a smile and positive attitude. He listens to his client and answers questions and provides sound advice while patiently allowing the customer to consider and weigh all options. We bought and sold with Monty and both experiences were great. I highly recommend Monty.

This is our second time working with Monty and again he made an overwhelming and stressful process easy and seamless. He is very helpful and responsive, knows the market well and made sure we felt confident in our decisions. I hope that we have found a home that we will be in for a long time, but if we ever have to move again we will definitely call Monty!

Monty helped me sell a family member’s condominium during a stressful period. What could have ending being a complicated transaction, because I wasn’t the primary owner and because the condo was a mutual, (I know, complicated) turned out to be relatively stress-free transaction. Monty is very knowledgeable and affable. He takes the time to explain things and shows up on time ready to work. Thanks for helping us out during a difficult time. I highly recommend Monty for all your real estate needs.

After working with two agents for almost eight months and still not finding
the right house, I met Monty during an open house in Chevy Chase. He helped
me to put an offer on that house. Even though I did not end up buying the
house, Monty made a very good first impression on me. As a result, I
continued to work with him in the house search. Seven weeks later and after
an intense search and making offers on five different houses, we found a
property in Chevy Chase, which we ended up buying.
There were two things that I would like to highlight. First, Monty was very
responsive and patient. Whenever I saw a house that would come on the
market I would call him and we would go see the property within a few hours
whether it was middle of a working day or the weekend. This was essential
given how competitive the real estate market has been in the area. Monty
was always honest and I never felt that he was pushing me to buy a house
just so that he could make his commission quickly. He understood what my
preferences were and he would give me objective feedback.
Monty was also very resourceful during the buying process. He referred me to
the best people, including a loan officer who gave me the mortgage with best
terms.
Monty has what it takes and I am confident that his hard work, patience and
honesty will take him a long way in the real estate business.

Monty is an excellent realtor!. He knows the real estate market, is respectful of the wishes of his clients, and is a pleasure to work with. Over the years we worked with a number of realtors and he is, by far, the best of the lot. There are lots of realtors in this area but only a few can match Monty's competence, efficiency and wise guidance.

Monty Boland is simply the very best real-estate broker we have ever worked with. He listened carefully to what our needs were and helped us negotiate and navigate the purchase process. He went over and above to assist us as we were not living locally. His strong attention to detail was invaluable, his quick response time was reassuring and his extensive list of contacts for auxiliary services really facilitated our move. Reach out to Monty-you will be glad you did!

About Monty Boland
Are you looking for a real estate agent that cares more about what YOU want in a property than how quickly you settle? I am different from other agents because I am patient, yet have a relentless work ethic whether it be on the purchase or the sale of a property. Over the last nine years, I have assisted buyers, sellers, and renters in the DMV by focusing on the quality of the client experience rather than the timing of the settlement itself.I firmly believe that the same agent that is showing you the property should be the one negotiating the transaction, attending the home inspection, talking to the title company, lender, and coordinating any contractor(s). This ensures an incredibly smooth and enjoyable experience for the client which is of the utmost importance to me and I believe how real estate should be.
I would love to assist you with a property, whether you own it or would like to!
