Bought a Single Family home in 2026 in Locust grove, VA.
I recently purchased my new home, and I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about my real estate agent, Chris. From the very beginning of the process to the final closing day, he was absolutely outstanding and went far above and beyond anything I could ever have expected. Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions a person can make, and it can often feel overwhelming and stressful. However, he made the entire experience feel smooth, organized, and manageable every step of the way. His professionalism, knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and constant communication gave me complete confidence throughout the process. What stood out most was his dedication and genuine care for his client. No question was ever too small, and no concern ever went unanswered. He was always available when I needed him, quick to respond, and consistently worked hard to make sure my best interests came first. It was clear that he truly cared about helping me find not just a house, but the right home for me. There were several moments during the process where he went the extra mile to help me, and his patience, honesty, and guidance made all the difference. He advocated for me, explained every detail clearly, and made sure I felt comfortable and informed with every decision along the way. Because of his hard work, dedication, and commitment, I am looking forward to getting settled into a home that I absolutely love. I am beyond grateful for everything he did for me and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. If you want someone who is trustworthy, hardworking, knowledgeable, and truly care about his clients, he is the person you want on your side. Thank you again for making my dream of owning this home a reality. I could not have done it without you!

Chris was an exceptional agent to work with. He exceeded our expectations. He responds quickly to questions. Always gave great advice to help us in our decision-making plans and negotiations. His insight, experience and strategic thinking clearly set him apart from others. He was able to anticipate issues before it arose giving us the ability to have the time to consider all options. Never rushed us. Chris has a huge knowledge base of the Fredericksburg market and surrounding areas. Always kept us informed of the market picture on a regular basis. He sent us clear concise data of local sales and listings, pricing strategies and the dynamics of the various neighborhoods as comparisons. It was clear we were working with someone who knows this market inside and out. Most importantly, Chris stays fully engaged in every detail from contract to close. He remains on top of all the nuances of the transaction, proactively managing timelines, coordinating with all parties, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. His responsiveness and dedication gave us tremendous peace of mind throughout the process. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and highly capable realtor who truly advocates for his clients, we highly recommend Chris Ognek. He is simply an outstanding real estate agent.

Chris and his team are THE top realtors in the VA area! They are attentive, knowledgeable, friendly, professional, determined, detailed, resourceful, etc. It was such a pleasure working with Chris throughout this process. We were always informed throughout the process and he took the time to learn our styles for the house we both wanted! His negotiation tactics to help you get not only the house you want but the deal you want. This was my husband and I’s first house so it was a super special moment. Even still he is still resourceful throughout the learning curve of being a first time home owner. I will definitely recommend him as a realtor to anyone in the area.

He anticipates issues before they arise and provides thoughtful guidance every step of the way.

Working with Chris was one of the best decisions we made throughout our entire home search process. From day one, he carried himself with the utmost professionalism …. never pushy, never rushed …always making us feel like our goals were his top priority. We originally came to Chris looking for land, and he proved immediately that he truly knows the Fredericksburg area and surrounding region inside and out. His depth of knowledge gave us real confidence that we were in the right hands. What happened next was something we didn’t expect: on a whim, we decided to take a look at a few resales just to see what was out there …. and we found our next home. Without missing a beat, Chris pivoted seamlessly and guided us all the way to closing. That kind of flexibility and attentiveness to what his clients actually need is rare. Throughout the entire process, which spanned a few months, Chris was consistently responsive, resourceful, and creative. When challenges came up, he found solutions by thinking outside the box rather than hitting a wall. And through it all, it was genuinely painless. If you’re looking for an agent who is knowledgeable, patient, and truly invested in your best interest, look no further. We cannot recommend Chris highly enough!

Chris is one of the most honest people I know. He truly believes being in business is to help people. I used to think that real estate agents need to be "local" to have knowledge of the area. What I've learned through Chris is that good agents can find other good agents. Chris has now helped me find an agent in Maryland to buy a house, and more recently found me an agent in New Jersey to help me sell a house. Both of those agents were like him, friendly, honest, patient and most of all incredibly knowledgeable of the business. Chris has an amazing team around him so even if you are just planning renovations, reach out to him. He spends a lot of time keeping up with the latest regulations and available loans. One of which is a fantastic program for firefighters, teachers, healthcare workers. He will put in the work to find you every penny available whether you are buying or selling. If you need an agent - ANYWHERE, call Chris first. You won't regret it.

Chris did a superb job helping us buy our single family home. His extensive knowledge of contracting work and local vendors was what we most appreciated. Working with him remotely, we relied on his video tours, first hand account, and constant communication to guide us through the home-buying process.

We worked with Chris Ognek after a family member passed away in Fredericksburg, VA, and we live out of state. Chris went above and beyond — helping with the home cleanout, coordinating with an estate consignment company, and even facilitating the sale of some household items. He was honest, reliable, and extremely knowledgeable throughout the entire process. We truly felt he had our best interests at heart. His professionalism and guidance made a difficult situation much easier. Highly recommend Chris!

Chris is an amazing real estate agent. He started with a very thorough evaluation of our home and made several recommendations. We proceeded with those those, and the rest was history. In less than 36 hours after our house went on the market, we had multiple showings and two offers. We closed in minimal time, and throughout the process, Chris went above and beyond to make sure it was the smoothest sale we have ever been a part of. We have worked with multiple agents in the past as we’ve lived all over the country - so we know when someone is the cream of the crop. Chris and Q Real Estate is exactly that!

Chris Ognek is #1! He is professional, very knowledgeable, trustworthy and genuine. He provided expert guidance when we sold our home and purchased our forever home. After having our home on the market in 2023/2024 with no success, we switched realtors and Chris sold our home immediately. The very next day, Chris helped us find the home we were looking. Although the house had another offer, Chris was critical in getting our offer accepted. His style from start to finish is perfect. We are so grateful for Chris. He is an exceptionally talented real estate agent and a good person.

Chris was amazing helping us purchase a Virginia home from Texas for an upcoming military move. We had no idea he helps as many folks as the stats show because every time we called he was there. I was even TDY for a few weeks and he coordinated zoom chats between the 3 of us. His dedication is readily apparent and he taught us as much as researched. Many thanks Chris!

Chris helped us so much in navigating a difficult buying market. We are so happy with our choice to work with him in both buying and selling our home. Chris was patient and available as we home searched over the course of months. We had a pretty specific idea in mind and the end result was exactly what we had hoped. We found a beautiful home in the area we wanted, at the price we wanted. On top of all of that Chris moved quickly in getting our home on the market, guiding us every step of the way. This lead to a quick sale that we were more than thrilled with. We also had the pleasure of working with Chris' associates, Craig and Rosmary, over the course of the process. Chris and his team were knowledgable, helpful, and quick to respond. At the end of the day, we couldn't have been more happy with the outcome of our purchase, our sale, and our choice to work with Chris.

Bought a Single Family home in 2022 in Fredericksburg, VA.
Chris was absolutely great to work with. My wife and I moved to the area and bought a house "sight-unseen" and Chris went the extra mile to give us the confidence to forward with a purchase. He walked us through what to expect with the market, how to structure a competitive offer, how to navigate the back and forth with the sellers, and prompt connections with the closing agent. When we made it to town he even arranged for a general contractor to meet with us at the property to discuss any maintenance issues and upgrades we were interested in. Before getting under contract, Chris visited each property we were interested in and did detailed video walkthroughs at each property noting what was good and, perhaps more importantly, what was not. Even though the deal has long-since closed, he continues to support us with advice on the area and more! If you are interested in moving to the area, definitely work with Chris!

This is my third home transaction with Chris. I have sold two houses with him and bought one. Chris is a wonderful person with whom to work. He has a great sense of humor but he also has a keen eye and sense of the real estate market. His advice has always been SPOT ON. All of my moves were personal homes. One sold in three days. The most recent one sold in ten. The process of buying with him was also super stress free and happened on time with no issues. I strongly recommend Christ to anyone looking to buy or sell in Northern VA. Thank you Chris for all that you do!! - M. Welsh

Chris was excellent to work with. We first worked with Chris on the purchase of rental property several years ago. Chris asked the right questions, and guided us through the purchase and provided insight on the rental process as well. That investment was one of the best we have made. Recently, Chris helped us sell our primary residence and once again proved his worth! Chris helped us navigate the tumultuous market and peacefully leave our old home. Soon we will be building our final home and Chris is already providing essential information for that process. Thus, if you are looking for investment property, buying or building we highly recommend you give Chris a call.

Bought a Single Family home in 2020 in Braehead woods, Fredericksburg, VA.
There is no way we can express adequately our appreciation of Chris Ognek’s helpfulness and professionalism. He made everything go smoothly for our family under extraordinary circumstances. My mom and dad decided to move to Virginia in the midst of the COVID crisis. They wanted to be in a home nearer to family. Chris listened carefully to their specific requirements and lined up a few homes for them to visit. At 83, and 87, they needed visits to be kept to a minimum and specific to their needs. Chris met that need. In one day they saw four great houses and were able to choose one that was perfect for them! Now they are five minutes from family, and even in the midst of the corona virus, we can keep an eye on them and they can feel connected to family. In addition to helping them choose the just right home, Chris took care of all of the details, from helping with offers, to helping with inspections. We relied on Chris for guidance and he came through every time. We recommend Chris without reservation and we hope you will have the good fortune to have him working for you just as he worked for us. You can’t do better than Chris Ognek.

With Chris' help, we just closed on 2 rental properties in a highly competitive housing market with a complex and challenging mortgage process. Chris guided us along the entire process, was aggressive with pricing negotiation and helped us make some key decisions along the way. Chris is hands down the smartest and most financially savvy Realtor I have ever worked with. He has your best interests in mind and will always give you his recommendations, even if it is contrary to what your initial plan may be. Chris has experience in all areas of real estate and has all the contacts and connections in the mortgage, construction and property management communities to help you buy your next home. You will not find a better Realtor anywhere. Give him a call.

As an out of state seller I certainly found a real estate agent that I could trust and rely on with the selling of my house in Fredericksburg, VA. Q Real Estate was a great choice for our family. My agent, Chris Ognek, put me in contact with a really good contractor to complete the necessary renovations to ultimately sell the house for more than the 'as is' condition. He negotiated a contract within two days of listing the property as "Coming Soon" As a first time seller, Chris and his assistant Craig walked me through the selling process. They were professional, helpful, and full of integrity. I am absolutely delighted with the results that Q Real Estate delivered. Thanks for everything!

With Chris' knowledge of the local market we were able to not only find a great new house, but to stage, list and sell our old house quickly. Chris and team were able to help us navigate the uncertain market resulting from Covid19. Chris helped to list at an appropriate price, drive incredible traffic over the course of 2 days resulting in multiple offers, which ultimately led to an above asking price! If you're serious about buying or selling, you'd be remiss not to use Chris Ognek and Q Real Estate!

My husband and I just bought our first house, and we chose Chris as our realtor because he was highly recommended to us by my parents who had used him ten years ago(so you know he’s been doing this a long time). And it shows:I’m convinced he knows everything there is to know about the real estate business. We went into the house buying process knowing very little, and we were actually out of town for half of it. It was such a relief to know that Chris was on top of everything. It was clear that he always had our best interest at heart and he still encourages us to call him with any questions or issues that arise with our house. Seriously you won’t find a better realtor, and we will never use anyone else!

Chris was fantastic!!! We were selling and buying a house at the same time. He pulled together a great team, and showed a lot of patience during this whole process!!! He was available for questions, and was prompt in his responses. There were a lot of hiccups in the process for both buying and selling, and Chris and his team got us through those. He was no pressure, always comfortable around him, he put us at ease with the process. He really worked well for us, especially when we were looking at houses to buy. He would do his own inspection of the properties, and then tell us what he found, good and bad, and gave us his opinion. He was also willing to work with me when I traveled, and had to face-time to view houses we were interested in. His recommendations were spot on, as were his suggestions. At no time did we ever question his integrity, and he consistently proved and displayed his professionalism throughout the process. We cannot say enough about how much we recommend Chris to help anyone when it comes to buying or selling a house, yet, even though it seems an understatement, we highly recommend Chris and his team if you are looking to buy or sell a house.

With a few minor kinks right before closing, Chris, who was vacationing in Hawaii, worked diligently to see that the contract would make it to closing and protected my interest. Thank you Chris.

My fiance and I just went through our first home buying experience with Chris Ognek and could not have had a better experience. Chris was patient with us and took the time to explain the process in detail as well as answer all of our questions. Chris made sure to look out for our best interest and having his extensive expertise was a huge asset to us not only in the purchase of our first home but also as a learning experience for the future. We look forward to continuing to work with him in the future and will absolutely recommend him to family and friends. Kate Goddard and Justin Estes

Chris is a no nonsense realtor. He wasted no time in meeting with me and providing me with great recommendations that were cost effective! He made the process a smooth one and he is a PHENOMENAL negotiator which is extremely important when buying and the sale of a home. Craig was awesome in taking care of the administrative portion very effectively. It was a smooth sale that didn't even make the market!! Which means Chris was on ready, set, go from the beginning. Thank you Chris to you and your team for helping me to move forth in my next journey with peace of mind! Many blessings, Ann

My house buying experience in Virginia was enhanced by Mr. Chris Orgnek’s superior knowledge in various topics and his ability to connect to people. What Chris didn’t know…he researched. Always provided an answer. Understood my urgency and worked all night to provide great suggestions for next day. Always felt that you had my back; in the search for the perfect home. What impressed me the most was your ability to listen and pickup the clues.

Chris has been phenomenal with assisting us in our first time home buying purchase! We had a very pleasant experience with finding time that fit both schedules to view houses. When it came down to the meat and potatoes of the process it was smooth as can be. He made this scary process a lot less scary. Chris is very knowledgeable and passionate to find the right house for you.

In everything that we buy, we do our due diligence & when it came to purchasing our first home, it was 100-times the effort. Home buying was a very big deal for us. Choosing Chris was an obvious decision - he has a great track record, has raving reviews from previous clients, he's local, he knows the area and the industry. We must have looked at tons of houses, lost out on several homes, looked at the same house 3 times and most horrid of all - we got involved in a bidding war situation. Chris helped us in all of these and truly made the home buying experience a pleasant one. If you are looking to buy or sell a house, Chris is your guy! You won't regret it.

If you’re looking to buy a house and need help, Chris is definitely the guy to use. He helped my husband and I find the perfect home. When you ask him questions about anything to do with the real estate market in VA, he knows the answer without hesitation. It’s very calming to know you can trust him and he doesn’t try to push you on any house. He makes sure you are getting the right house and for the right price!

My husband and I were very pleased with our home buying experience with Chris. Not only is he friendly, but I really liked that he's not your typical pushy sales type. He's very open to hearing exactly what you are looking for and really digs deep to help you find that perfect home. My husband and I closed on our very first home recently moved in that same weekend. We've only been in our new home only a week now and already it feels like Home Sweet Home. I really don't think we would have found the perfect little house without Chris' help and expertise. Thank you so much Chris for everything!!! Will definitely not hesitate to recommend you to anyone we know looking to buy or sell a home in the area.

Awesome Buyer Agent! I purchased a home with Chris Ognek. He is very professional and prompt and provides exceptional advice and service. I was able to purchase a house with $10k in concessions, owner paid closing costs, and overall $20k under the VA assessed value. This leaves room for a $20k cash out refinance in next few months.

My wife and I sat down with 5 other realtors and Chris was the one that felt right. He was punctual, professional, and confident in his abilities to sell our home without coming off as aloof or cocky. He assisted with ensuring that our home was prepared to sell without cutting any corners. He was available to talk to if any issues came up and made sure that if we had all questions, comments, or concerns came up he was there. I would strongly recommend Chris over any other realtor in the area. If we bought another home we would only deal with him and no one else. Top notch service guy who gives you quality and the results showed.

Sold a Townhouse home in 2018 in Stafford, VA.
Chris and his team represented us when we purchased our home 3.5 years ago and in the sale of that property in March 2018. We had an offer in 5 days and closed 30 days later. He successfully overcame a low VA appraisal on the sale of our home with his brilliant negotiation skills and tremendous understanding of techniques to overcome such issues. He was able to help us complete home inspection repairs while we were in Idaho purchasing another home. We returned home and most of the repairs had been completed by his team. Finally, we returned from Idaho to find a windstorm had caused damage to our siding that had just been replaced. We were able to get a repair estimate with a repair date for the week after closing. We left a check for the repair with the keys. Chris negotiated the deal with the buyer. He and his team are the best real estate team I have ever known by far and we have purchased 6 homes and sold five of them now. So we have some experience. We recommend the Q-Team to all that will listen. Thanks Chris and the Q Real Estate Team. Alan

Sold a Single Family home in 2018 in Fredericksburg, VA.
First off, Chris was an answer to our prayers! He really showed his value from the start when he thoroughly researched the value of our house - much higher than other appraisers have concluded just 6 months earlier. This is how we knew that our God, Jehovah, approved of Chris. Then we really started to see Chris' skills in this business - his recommendations in staging the house, and his high-tech camera, really got the interest in our home rolling. What was against us was the market of 2017 in Fredericksburg. Throughout even the flattened period of interest Chris checked up on us, and performed market analysis. Once we relisted in January, after taking a break at the end of Fall 2017, we got a relatively low offer. Then we started to see Jehovah's hand on Chris even more so. Chris was able to bring their offer up much closer to our asking price, and convinced the buyer's agent to recommend they address any issues in the house themselves - even about 90% of the issues that were identified by the home inspector. Towards the end of the sales transaction things got really ugly with the buyer party - having to do with a separate bill of sale on furniture they were interested in us conveying. Chris was on vacation, to boot! But he was able to handle the matter outside of cell service range, communicating consistently though emails, and get us through closing! We are very grateful to have had Chris Ognek as our listing agent, as well as Craig Adams, his "right hand", who also came through while Chris was on his vacation. If Chris and his company were in the Charlottesville, VA area, no doubt he would have been my buyer agent.

Couldn't have made a better choice when choosing an agent to help my wife and I purchase a home. Chris walked us through over a dozen homes in the greater Fredericksburg area until we found one that we thought was perfect. He was able to answer all of our questions thoroughly and honestly, which made the home buying process very comfortable. After finding our home, Chris and his staff ensured that everything went smoothly all the way to closing. I would absolutely recommend Chris to anyone looking to purchase a home in the area.

Great investment experience with Chris Ognek as our representation. He netted us a $61,000 gain on a property he found for us in Stafford, VA 5 years ago, with an average $200 a month positive cash flow. At the time, the total property value was $135,000, and sold Dec. 2017 for $199,000. Total return over the 5 years was therefore approximately $73,000. The kicker is that we found a program that let us purchase the property for 0 down.

When you refer to someone as an expert in their profession, Chris is at the top tier of that in the real estate business. He helped us sell the home he helped us buy in 2011. His knowledge of getting a home ready for sell was spot on, from writing the listing, photo angles, setting the price fair for the market, and negotiating with the buyers agent were flawless. Our home was under contract in less than 10 days! If you are looking for a realtor that really knows what the market is doing, Chris is your guy. If you want someone who doesn't treat your home as a "piece of inventory", Chris is your guy!

Chris was recommended to us by a friend and we contacted him about buying a house a full 7 months before we were even ready. Chris got us prequalified immediately and setup a time to see homes for sale. He made the whole process simple and easy. We loved checking out all the homes. He even showed us several more after we were almost certain of the one we wanted. We just needed verification by looking at a couple more. The most important quality that Chris brought to us was his in-depth knowledge of the mortgage process, the pitfalls we might experience, and the need to find the best financing deal available. Chris left us no doubt that the only people he was working for was my wife and me. Thanks for getting us in our new home, Chris!

Chris Ognek is hands-down the best real estate agent I have ever worked with. As an active duty Air Force member, I have bought and sold 7 homes, and Chris is the most responsive, knowledgeable, and hardworking professional I've dealt with. He took on a challenge with our home, as it was a rural property quite some distance from D.C. My wife and I are stationed overseas now, and we just accepted we would have to pay our mortgage payment for several months due to our home's distant location. Instead, Chris sold it within a month, and for our asking price. He is simply outstanding (and a veteran too, which I respect).

Bought a Single Family home in 2017 in King george, VA.
I took me a while to think through what I wanted to say about my experience of working with Chris to get the home I wanted. For me to say "he did a great job" really didn't cut it--he really deserves so much more. I was extremely impressed with the overall service. The house I wanted was a short sale, and anyone who has ever navigated the craziness that kind of negotiation can be will understand how amazing it is that was in the house in under 4 months. Chris also made some expert recommendations concerning property inspection that I was reluctant to fork over the $$ to do if it wasn't required for the sale to go through, but I followed his advice. A problem was uncovered that would have been a financial disaster for me had I discovered it after the sale was final. Consequently, we were able to negotiate a better price with the selling bank with the unearthed knowledge. Lesson learned! Listen to your realtor... Thank you so much, Chris. I am very happy with my new home.

We started working with Chris Ognek 8-9 months ago, searching for our first home. His knowledge of the Spotsylvania/Fredericksburg/Stafford area is remarkable. At the beginning, we were all over the place, throwing our ideas and requirements at him, unsure of what would fit our family of 5. Through it all, Chris was very patient. He never ceased to send us lists of houses that might interest us, and he was always willing and ready to show us those that caught our eye. We were surprised he didn't lose his mind as we were often conflicted. He sorted out our thoughts, presented us with many options, and offered great tips and advice. As a result, we were able to refine our list of key criteria and to find a home that met them all. It may have taken us a while, but it was worth it. We felt very at ease working with him. He's surrounded by a great team that displays the same level of patience and responsiveness. Our price was well negotiated and all of our demands were met. Even after we've purchased our home, Chris is still around, giving us valuable tips, and making sure we don't feel abandoned. Seriously, we couldn't have found a better realtor.

When my dad died last year, my sister and I took some time to go through his house and upgrade it a little. When we were ready to sell we interviewed 3 real estate agents in the Fredericksburg area and Chris was by far the very best. From the start he was professional and knowledgeable about the local real estate market. He made a recommendation about the asking price for the house and we took his advice. With a week or two we had an offer for full price. Chris sold our dad's house in record time for the top price. We asked a lot of questions about the buying/selling process and Chris patiently and fully answered all our questions. He managed the sale of the house, the inspection, the loan process, fulfilling the contingencies. We trusted his advice and he never failed us. He was just great and I highly recommend him and will definitely hire him again if I need a real estate agent.

Chris Ognek helped us sell our home in Fredericksburg, VA. We were incredibly impressed with the service and knowledge provided by Chris. He helped us in understanding how to best present our house to buyers, when to list the house, and what pricing would be appropriate and realistic. Before listing the home, Chris let us know what we could expect and gave us advice on how to de-clutter our home so that it would appeal to others. He also made professional photographs of the home that made us want to purchase it again! During the selling phase, we received automated notifications regarding showing times, etc and prompt feedback from Chris regarding buyer feedback. When we received an offer, Chris gave us a very exact analysis of our costs, etc so that we fully understood what our gain/loss on the house would be. The entire process what extremely professional and smooth sailing with Chris. Our house sold in a much shorter time than we anticipated, and we are convinced it was because of Chris' expertise and valuable advice. Thanks Chris!

HIGHLY recommend Chris and his team! I bought my house from Chris in 2009 but in 2011, life took me to other states and I am now living in FL. After having rented the house for 5 1/2 years, I decided to sell it, hoping the market was again strong enough. I thought being out of town would complicate the process but Chris handled it all for me--he even conducted the move-out inspection on my behalf! After discussing the condition of the house (he had taken pictures during the move-out inspection), he advised me of my options. Deciding for the "as-is" option, he handled all the viewings, keeping me informed every step of the way, and was able to get me a cash offer within 10 days of being on the market. He is definitely an expert on the market in the NOVA area and I trusted him every step of the way. If life ever takes me back there, he'll be my real estate agent again!

Upon starting my home search in Stafford/Fredericksburg, I stumbled upon Chris' review and set up an appointment. After 14 months of site visits, pinpointing specific areas and analyzing each home down to fine details, I landed on a foreclosure purchase. It was a challenging task with communication from the bank and listing agent, but Chris was persistent in obtaining an answer for each item along the way. Closing went smooth and I am happy with the whole home buying experience. Chris will give you honest answers about the home, price, area and surroundings with no pressure to go with something you don't feel comfortable with. Best realtor experience I have had. Thank you again, Chris.

Chris was prompt, business-like, efficient, and was able to sell our land quickly. When we reached out to us, he immediately called back, he followed up, when there was a problem, he always proposed solutions. Would recommend him without reservations.

This was our first experience buying a home and Chris was with us every step of the way. He took the time to walk us through the process as well as explain the local market in a way that we understood. Chris was able to take very vague guidance from us and put together an exceptional list of homes, from which we purchased our first home. He accomodated our schedules and met us at locations that were convenient to us. Very personable and professional, I would recommend Chris to my family and closest friends.

We are so happy with Chris! He helped us find the perfect home for our family. We were first time buyers and had no clue of what we needed to know or ask, but he was sure to answer any questions and gave us any information he believed we needed to know. He never pressured us and he was very knowledgeable about the areas we were looking to purchase in and not only that but also in things he saw wrong with the homes we were looking at. He was always punctual and patient with us, which was something we needed in an agent because as I said we had no clue in the first thing of purchasing a home. We looked at many homes to make sure we knew what we wanted and if he had to, he would rearrange his schedule to be able to meet with us. He made the home buying process a breeze compared to what we thought it was going to be. I would highly recommend him to anyone we know that is looking into buying or selling a home.

We had a very positive, successful experience with Chris and his team at Q Real Estate in selling our house. He was very knowledgeable and helpful during the whole process - from getting our house ready for the market all the way through the selling process. Chris was incredibly attentive to our needs: answering questions along the way, keeping us informed of each step, and helping us get everything accomplished to have our home sold much faster than we imagined. Selling our home went much quicker than our family had anticipated and Chris was exceptionally sensitive to the emotional processing necessary for the process as this was our home for a long time. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend Chris for any real estate project need you may have – he is patient, knowledgeable about the market and process, informative and helpful for every step of the way and he really listens and helps you achieve the goal you are after – whether buying or selling your home. We consider ourselves very lucky to have worked with such a wonderful agent.

"We had a very positive experience with Chris and his team at Q Real Estate in selling our house. He was very attentive to the details of the overall process, kept us well informed of everything that was going on. After the initial two weeks of activity, when the first traffic slowed a little, Chris changed the overall marketing strategy to attract more prospective buyers. He was active in getting solutions to the items identified in the home inspection needing resolution. Chris was always available to answer questions regardless of the time of day or night. Having bought and sold many homes in the past, this was the best experience we have had."

Chris Ognek of Q Real Estate has been an absolute pleasure to work with. As a 2nd-time homebuyer with limited experience and knowledge, he had the utmost patience and never pressured me to make an offer. He had a good grasp on what I was on the market for and walked me through every step, and you could always count on an immediate response -- regardless of the time of day. Chris is a true professional with a genuine interest in assuring customer satisfaction. Once we found the one, he took care of every single detail – making it smooth and stress free for me. Needless to say, I would, and will, strongly recommend Chris to anyone that’s on the market to purchase a home.

I am trying to sell my property in Fredericksburg and cannot say enough good things about Chris. I found his name while searching the internet for an alternative to my current selling agent with whom I have little confidence. Chris was kind enough to provide me with a second opinion regarding an offer I had received. Within a few minutes, Chris inspires confidence. He listens well, is extremely knowledgeable, and has at his fingertips a number of helpful insights and suggestions which he is able to communicate clearly and effectively. Anyone looking to sell or buy a home in Fredericksburg and the surrounding areas, including northern Virginia, will greatly benefit tremendously from his experience, advocacy and sound advice pleasant nature. Had I known about Chris earlier, I would I would selected him as my selling agent.

Being a first time home buyer my wife and I wanted to find the right agent that would listen to our needs and answer any questions that we had. Chris was that person. Chris Ognek was professional and attentive during every step of the home buying process. He was diligent in inspecting each house we viewed. Giving us helpful tips on what to look for and what to stay away from. If you are in the market and looking to buy Chris is the perfect match for you.

Chris helped us buy our first home and we couldn't have asked for a better agent. He was always extremely responsive when it came to the almost endless questions we had. He has a thorough knowledge of the market and was able to foresee that we would be priced out of the area we wanted since the housing market was heating up, so he was able to find us a great place just outside of our area. We were even able to get more house with our money. Chris only had to show us a few homes before he found us one that was within our price range and had what we were looking for. He and his team were on top of the entire process from start to finish and went above and beyond what I expected. I would recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home and get the most bang for your buck.

Chris was absolutely fantastic. I have not enjoyed working with agents in the past, but my experience with Chris was absolutely 180 degree difference. He listened to what I wanted and worked very hard to find help me find it. Once we did, he helped me envision how it would become 'my' perfect home. Throughout he was friendly, responsive and helpful. And when it counted his negotiation skills when above and beyond what I had dreamed for. I am so very happy I worked with Chris and recommend him highly.

Chris was extremely helpful and efficient in helping us purchase a home. We set aside a weekend to house hunt since my husband and I were living in different states at the time. After looking at a few homes the first day and listening to our comments, Chris knew exactly what we were looking for and showed us the perfect house the next day! He made the process extremely easy with his knowledge of the area and his ability to listen to what buyers want in a home.

Chris represented us in purchasing a home and he and his team could not have made the process easier. His market knowledge, responsiveness, experience in buying older homes, and attention to detail are impressive. I also appreciate his business-like approach, and his ability to make things happen in a timely manner. His team, which included his title company, was very proactive in keeping the process moving. Chris handled our negotiations with the seller, and the rest of the process in an organized, professional manner, which helped to close the deal in only 3 weeks. Chris' entire team was a pleasure to work with, and I recommend his services highly.

i was initially going to purchase my home by myself in hopes it will give me leverage on the asking price but decided to get a realtor. We randomly found Chris and he seemed very nice on he phone. Within two outings we were able to find a house we wanted to purchase which happened to be a new construction home. Chris's team did everything they could to make the process as smooth as it could be. I see others talking about his responsiveness but you gotta understand he does have other clients as well but he would always get back to you that day. I would go back to Chris in purchasing a home or selling.

We wanted the best realtor in the area to sell our home, so we went on-line to see who people were talking about. One person's name was mentioned over and over as the one to call - Chris Ognek. We met with Chris and it was clear from the outset that he is a thorough professional. We signed on with him and he got our house sold in less than a week! That was beyond our wildest expectation! We don't hesitate about recommending Chris. If you want the best in the area, Chris is the one. Period!
- Daspied★★★★★
Bought a Townhouse home in 2016 in Fredericksburg, VA.
Diligence, experience, and charisma are the adjectives that first come to mind when asked about Chris and his team. He isn't your average 9-5 realtor, and on more then one occasion he was able to accommodate his busy schedule to ours. As first time home buyers we couldn't have asked for anything more. Start through finish, and then even after, Chris has always managed to make himself available to answer all of our questions while also providing insight on options we had never considered as first time home buyers. Insights such as a 203k loan, a 9 year investment payoff strategy, and the long term value/rental rates in the local area. Utilizing his experience we were able to negotiate more then 5% of the final price as credits. This allowed us to retain all the earnest money and not increase the total loan amount, simultaneously paying off the entire VA funding fee -- we were blown away. Rest assured we were in good hands, and you will be too.

Bought a Single Family home in 2016 in Stafford, VA.
I needed to move quickly, and with specific conditions: acreage for my rescued dogs, and a single-story, move-in-ready home (for an elderly parent), within 20 minutes of a military base for defense employment, near animal and human hospitals, and a price ceiling of $300k. There was 1 ideal town in VA that fit the bill, and 1 home within that town during my timeframe. Chris knew my operating budget, deal-breaking conditions, and moving timeframe. I let him take it from there. Chris put me out front of other Buyers by negotiating a cash purchase, and then sealed the deal by negotiating a convenient vacate timeframe for the Seller and myself. Moving 2500 miles was challenge enough, but Chris Ognek made sure the perfect home was ready and waiting. Thank you!

We met Chris Ognek in 2009 when we purchased our first home, and we couldn’t have been happier with the job he did. Throughout the entire process he was very professional, knowledgeable, and very patient, therefore we trusted him from the very first moment we met. In 2011 he helped us in the process to obtain an investment property and he always advised us with what is best for us including the repairs. It was a foreclosure , so some work needed to be done , and we did most of the work ourselves following his suggestions. He also helped us listing the property for rent, we have a happy family living for many years. Chris also helped us this year to find a second investment property. He helped us with the loan process, and he was clever, this one was sold a is , but he negotiated and the seller did most of the repairs. He is also helping us with the repairs that are left. He knows the right people to do the job. He keeps in constant communication with us. For us Chris is a friend we can trust, we always ask him for any advice, he is always there for us. Rosa and Allan

Chris Ognek helped my wife and I find a perfect home despite tight time constraints (0-closing in two months) due to rising rent costs. He even helped us find grant money and a mortgage company that he trusts! His professionalism, expertise, and communication were above and beyond what we expected. At first, my wife and I set the itinerary with houses we saw online that we liked; we didn't really know what we were looking for and they were all terrible. It took only one trip with Chris picking the properties for us to find a house we loved, even better than we expected. We placed the offer that night and the rest is history. We are now happily moved in to our first home and hope to be here for many, many years to come!

Listed, but didn't sell my Single Family home in 2016 in Stafford, VA.
Chris is an excellent realtor. He is the 3rd realtor we have used to attempt to sell our house, which has been on the market over 2 years. He did his homework and provided us a different alternative to selling the house. Although his method did not result in a sale, it did generate a lot of interest and traffic, which we had not seen previously. We changed our listing to sell or lease. Chris provided a thorough review of a potential renter to increase our comfort level to consider this option. I would put Chris first on my list of realtors and I have bought or sold over 7 properties. There were 1 or 2 times when I was waiting for several hours for a reply, but I am an impatient person so I maybe a little harsh in evaluating responsiveness.

Sold a Condo home in 2015 in Aurora highlands, Arlington, VA.
My wife and I had a great experience with Chris Ognek as our agent selling our condo. Chris was very knowledgeable about our area, challenges with condos, and how to maximize value of our condo. When we found issues with our condo detracting from the value (not at all Chris' fault), namely excessive highway noise, Chris suggested a novel change in tactics to get the place sold with the maximum value. The resulting strategy started a sense of urgency and created a bidding war. Once we received all our bids, Chris recommended the bid to accept. Chris was also instrumental in conducting very tough negotiations with the buyer during the closing process. The buyer came to the table and demanded a significant amount of seller financed updates to be made post home inspection. We expected to walk, but Chris came up with a unique compromise that eliminated half of the buyer's request (the expensive, unreasonable ones), and for the remainder, suggested that the buyer split the cost with both agents (buying side and selling side). My wife and I didn't have to pay a dime! The upgrades were coordinated entirely by Chris and was done to the buyer's satisfaction such that we were able to proceed through settlement and closing without any more issues. What an experience! I don't know where we would be without Chris. Probably still stuck with our old condo.

When we put an offer on the house we had a lot of issues with the seller to say the least. Chris and his team worked diligently to adapt to every new date change and monetary change and kept us informed the entire time. If we move I would only choose Chris to sell our home.

Chris was awesome, selling our home in 11 days, for more than we expected, at a time when there numerous homes in our neighborhood that had been for sale much longer than ours.

I would use him again without question, and would highly recommend him.

"If you are looking for more than your garden variety realtor (excuse my expression) Chris Ognek is the realtor for you, Chris along with his staff are with you all the way, the years of experience and knowledge under one roof is truly remarkable. There was never a question that could not be answered, if he didn't know for sure someone in his office did. With Chris you will always feel as though you are his one and only client. He is straight forward to the point, not pushy but always available to answer any and all questions. Yes this is his profession, but he wil always make sure situation is right for you rather than yes this is what you want (so he makes $). Chris along with his staff are available day and night, not your typical 9-5 leave a message, contact you during business hour's! I tried not to infringe on that, but knowing the option is there Was very comforting. I researched for about 6 month's trying to find that perfect realtor, almost gave up, then I found Chris ognek and was so happy that I did. In the future if I am ever to sell and or buy real-estate in the future or just have general questions he will be the one I call, have him saved in my phone on speed dial lol !! So to end from past experience interaction with Realtors no one has even come close to the experience I had with Chris you would be crazy to go else where, so if you are lookin for quality, attention to detail and knowledge then Chris ognek and his team would be your choice, if anyone can make it happen it's Chris he will always give 120%!!

I was referred to Chris by a coworker who had used him to purchase her home and had nothing but the best to say- and I agree. I am new to the area and was unfamiliar with the options available with my wish list and what was available.

In Short: outstandingly patient, very flexible, extremely knowledgeable, timely and most important to us, very responsive through either phone calls, text, or emails. I've already recommended Chris to a co-worker of mine. Chris was absolutely outstanding during the entire home buying process from beginning to the very end. He was very flexible for taking my wife and I to viewings and coordinating several homes in one day to make the most of our time. He took the homes that we showed interest in and also recommended some others. He is very knowledgeable, so there wasn't time wasted with homes that wouldn't be approved by the VA. He is also aware of the neighborhoods and local amenities. Chris is great and we still maintain contact with him today as he has a vast array of knowledge in regards to home purchasing, property management, and home renovations. Great Guy!!

I really cannot say enough good things about Chris. About six months ago, my husband and I began looking at a fixer-upper in downtown Fredericksburg with the plans to renovate it. Now, we are in a newer home in Spotsylvania and could not be happier. Chris was attentive and knowledgeable throughout the whole process. I believe what sets him apart is the fact that he is so loyal; I never doubted once that he was solely on our side. Again, I could never recommend him enough!

We were in a time crunch to sell our home after a previous agent didn't work out, Chris was able to sell our home in less than a month by aggressively marketing the house. This allowed us to move the house in the timeframe we needed without having to cut the price drastically to do so. A true professional that knows his craft well.

Sold a Single Family home in 2015 in Manassas, VA.
My wife and I were looking to purchase our first house a few years ago when we stumbled upon Chris and Q-Real Estate. Working with Chris for those few months back in 2012 was a great experience. His knowledge of the local market and guidance through the entire process was very much appreciated. He helped to find us the right home, did everything he could to ensure that our offer was accepted, and navigated the sometimes choppy waters to make sure we closed. So it was no surprise that when we decided to sell the house a few years later, we went back to Chris to help us out! Once again, Chris's knowledge of the market and dedication to helping his clients not only get a fair and reasonable price for their home, but ensure that the deal did in fact close was invaluable. This particular sale was even more challenging than the purchase of the home due to a very low appraisal. Chris tirelessly worked with the Buyer's agent and us to make it work. Even in circumstances that are not ideal, Chris has proven to go above and beyond what should be required of him to make sure everyone involved in the deal is satisfied with the outcome. I highly recommend using Chris and Q-Real Estate when it comes to either purchasing or selling your next home! If we were to find ourselves back in the DC metro region and in the market for a house in Northern Virginia, I would not hesitate to call Chris and work with him again!

He was very knowledgeable about everything relating to real estate, from buying houses, to selling houses, and doing remodeling work. His experience doing remodeling really came in handy when we were looking at older homes that needed work. He was able to walk in into a home and within 10 min tell us what was worth remodeling as well as how much it would cost and if whether we could do it ourselves. As for as avaliability goes, he was always avaliable. we spend many weekend evenings and weekends with him and he was always happy and eager to show us any home we were interested in. He also went above and beyond by finding homes for us based on types of home we were interested in. He is well connected in that he refered us to an excelent lender and home inspector which made the whole home buying process very simple

Chris recently sold my home in Fredericksburg, Virginia. After being referred three agents and interviewing them, I chose Chris because I liked his strategy, knowledge and honesty. We listed the home when Chris recommended and I received an offer within three days and closed shortly thereafter. The whole process went so fast that I couldn't believe it! In fact, I had to rush and purchase another home in order to vacate the home for the new owners. I truly enjoyed this brief experience with Chris and highly recommend him if you want a straight-forward and honest professional.

He has been a wealth of knowledge, provided far greater guidance, and is far more knowledgeable. I chose him as both a buying agent and a listing agent.

He was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process and was knowledgeable about the area and what homes were available to help us get the best home available in our price range. He knew more about our loan than our VA loan officer, the latter of whom was the only real hiccup in our home buying experience. He knows the business so if he recommends someone, like an inspector or loan officer, it is probably wise to heed his suggestions. I would definitely recommend talking to Chris if you are trying to buy a home.

Working with Chris is amazing. This was a second home purchase with him, and couldn't ask for anything more. He's personable but direct and honest. I'm truly blessed to have an agent like him. If you're looking to buy, sell, or both - I'd highly recommend him. Thank you Chris!

Chris is a fantastic real estate agent! He works fast, and gets results. As a first time home buyer, with a low budget, and some less than hopeful results with another agent, I felt immediate relief the first time I met Chris. I just knew he would find me a home, and he did! I was honest, and told him I knew nothing about buying a home, and Chris remained patient with me through my questions and concerns. After all of the horror stories I've heard from people about buying their first home, I feel like my experience was too good to be true. It was so easy! I will recommend Chris to anyone and I will definitely use him next time I need a real estate agent. If you're a first time buyer, you can be sure that Chris will take excellent care of you. Thank you Chris!!

After speaking with several of the local Dave Ramsey ELPs my wife and I decided to use Chris Ognek of Q Real Estate and we're so glad we did! Chris listened to our wants/needs and worked hard to find the right home for us. Chris has a great knowledge of the market and what repairs/improvements cost, which we found particularly helpful since we were searching for a fixer upper. Chris is straightforward, honest and hardworking, we will use him again if the need arises!

Mr. Chris Ognek is a gentle man of his own words. When I signed contract with him as my seller's agent, he showed me a range of prices for my property. If I choose this level of price, he said he would sell the property within a month. Indeed, he sold our property within a month! He is a man of sincerity, integrity, and honesty, and diligently work hard day and night. All property buyers and sellers, try him first! You wouldn't regret.

We would definately work with Chris again. He is also currently assisting us with selling our other house. His expertise and knowledge of real estate was critical to the buying of our current house. He was always very responsive to all inquiries regarding both houses. His guidance and direction was critical to our enjoying the process. We never had to worry about anything because we knew Chris was on top of it. We appreciate everything he did for us.

We were doing a military relocation from California to Virginia and Chris and his team were super helpful. Morning/Day/Evening, Chris was also responsive and super helpful on all things related to buying a house. It also helped that he was prior military. Showed us 10+ houses and knows everything about all areas. We were new to home buying, and he never pressured us or insulted our "lack of home buying expertise". I give him a thumbs up ! Will have him sell our house when it is time to go.

Chris responds promptly & gives more than enough information to the buyer. Overall, he was patient & not pushy as we went to look at 10+ homes! If you cannot find the home you want, go to Chris about any Reno project big/small. I feel like I was on property brothers! Thanks!

We recently bought our first house and we picked Chris after reading a lot of reviews on different websites. We had been in Fredericksburg before for day trips and had a general idea of the area, but Chris was able to provide some helpful insight--especially regarding possible commuting timeframes. While walking through homes, he was also able to provide a general estimate on what possible things may need to be fixed, and what kind of prices we could expect. Once we found a home, Chris able to very quickly place an offer together and get us some very favorable terms. He was always able to answer any questions while we were waiting to close, and had some excellent recommendations for services needed during the process. We would highly recommend him to others looking to buy a home.

Chris is an amazing realtor! He helped us buy our second house. Our first house was not a bad experience, but after working with Chris on this one, I realized how much better the first experience could have been. He was always able to answer any questions that we had and truly made us feel like we were his only clients. We were dealing with a very bad listing agent and he went above and beyond to see our closing to the end. He is extremely knowledgeable about the market and especially in renovation projects. Because of this, he can walk through a house and give you a pretty good estimate on what things need to be fixed. We highly recommend him to anyone! You will be in good hands!

Chris Ognek is the best realtor ever! I have worked with a handful of incompetent realtors and Chris was a breath of fresh air! He always responds to emails within minutes unless he is completely tied up with meetings or other clients. Chris was so attentive and prompt with contact with me that I felt like I was his only client. When I needed to see a house, he was always available within a couple of hours, which I really appreciated. Sometimes I would feel bad asking Chris to see a house at an inconvenient time and he was always so gracious and never acted like I was an inconvenience! Chris is extremely personable! He is a genuinely kind guy with a great sense of humor. You don't need to look any further for your real estate needs, financial needs, investment needs, mac (apple) needs, counseling needs, etc. You have a need......Chris is your man!!!

Chris helped me find my first home - and in a quick turnaround time. He took the time to explain any and every aspect of real estate and the home buying process with which I was unfamiliar. He gives great advice and guidance when evaluating and comparing homes. He is a wealth of information and resourceful. He flips homes himself, and could explain how to fix potential problems easily and cost efficiently. He can also give estimates of how much repairs or replacements will cost, which is very helpful. He goes above and beyond to make sure everything goes smoothly before and after the purchase. He is professional and pleasant in manner and was always available when I requested a house viewing. Although I am sure he is very busy, I still felt like a priority. I appreciate how I worked with Chris the entire process and was not handed off to an assistant. He negotiated an earlier closing to coincide with the end of my rental lease, and on a date when he could be there as well. He was patient when I was in the decision-making process and didn't push me to do any particular thing. I appreciate Chris' help during my house search and the purchase, and continued support afterwards. He is one of the best real estate agents the Fredericksburg area has to offer, if not the best. Thank you!

Chris Ognek is incredibly personable and provides timely responses to all inquiries. Chris's knowledge of Real Estate, experience in home sales in Northern VA, and networked contacts made him a great fit for us. We started looking as 1st time homebuyers nearly 2 years ago. After a job change and hold on the house search Chris stuck with us to narrow the field in what we were looking for to find a great fit once we got out there looking. His expertise in home remodel and renovation helped us have confidence in our ability to make the home our own. Even though Q Real Estate is based out of Fredericksburg (formerly in Northern VA), we would have never known. Chris was willing to meet us when we needed and provided electronic signature features, very quick responses to email, and answered the phone or called right back. We were so lucky to have found Chris, our contract negotiations and closings were such a breeze from our perspective even though there were significant issues that arose. Chris handled them with ease; stood strong for our wants/needs as homebuyers and kept us informed every step of the way. We can not say enough about him and would recommend him to anyone!

I actually found Chris after having a less than stellar experience with another agent that worked for one of the big name RE companies. I searched online and found Chris. It was because of the great reviews that he already had that I decided to work with him. I can honestly say that Chris has been a great person to work with. He helped me and answered all my questions ( I had a lot being a first time home buyer). Chris is also an investor and that makes him the ideal realtor to help you if you are considering RE investments. I highly recommend Chris

When we found a house Chris acted as a True Buyers Agent to negotiate the best deal and even got us a home warranty that we didn't ask for.

Chris was referred to us while we were stationed overseas from a prior client. We've bought and sold before but that was in NY...and before the recession. So we did our research and found lots of reviews praising Chris. They are true. We recently bought a foreclosure and are very content in our home. We had a list of what we did and didn't want and a budget.Chris set us up with an online account that allowed us to see what he saw was coming on the market. This made for quick work. Once in contract his online savvy and knowledge expedited our side of the process. When the bank or listing agent weren't being responsive, he knew what to do. From the inspector, to the closing attorney and now home improvement contractors, Chris has always referred us to people that work like him...with professionalism and integrity.

Chris is always available and will go any extra mile to help out.

Working with Chris was absolutely great. He is extremely patient and helpful. My husband and I were on a very short time crunch to purchase a home and he made it very easy for us to not just find any house but the perfect house for us! He is also well educated in construction options, as well as seeing every little possible flaw before you make your purchase so you are fully aware of what needs to be done as well as what can be done. I would most definitely recommend him to all that I know and if ever in the position again myself l, I wouldn't think twice who to call.

Bought a Single Family home in 2013 in Fredericksburg, VA.
Chris Ognek is a buyer's dream real estate agent. While meeting with several other realtors Chris stuck out out of the crowd. He doesn't treat us as just another business transaction, he wanted to get to know us personally as well. That really struck a chord and my wife and I instantly knew he was the one to go with. Chris was very patient with us. We didn't know exactly what we wanted in a house so we chose a few listings we wanted to see. He didn't try to sell us the houses we saw, instead he stood back and listened to what we liked and didn't like about the house. He would use the feedback to filter out the current listings on the market and would continue to do so with each house we toured until we found our house. He never once tried to push a house on us, although my wife is a different story. Since we are first time homeowners, Chris would also point out things here and there that a first timer wouldn't know and also spot potential problems. I'm an engineer so needless to say I am a hands-on person, I like to know what is happening at every step. Chris was always prompt in our communications, even though I'd send a dozen emails on some occasions. When we met in person his full attention was on us, he wasn't answering phone calls unless it was absolutely critical. That was important to us. I think what shocked me the most after we closed is that the relationship with Chris does not end after you're in your house. He is still willing to help with any questions or problem that arise with the new home. I had assumed that once the business transaction is over then the real estate agent disappears and moves on to the next person. Clearly this is not the case with Chris. We could not have asked for a better agent. I would very highly recommend him to friends and family in the area. In fact, if we ever decide to sell our new (to us) house in the future and Chris is still around and in the business he will be the first person we call!

I came to know Chris through his community involvement. As founder of a veteran support group "Thank You Vets", Chris has helped fund raise and work with me to find military veterans in the community who could use a "hand-up" as a result of injury, or economic need. I came to appreciate his integrity, organization and commitment, and while I knew perhaps hundreds of Real Estate professionals in the area, I felt that Chris would deliver the level of professionalism that I needed when it came time for us to market our properties. note: We are just beginning the process of CMA's on our properties, and identifying based on these findings, our next step in the process, so the service provided dropbox and address does not perfectly reflect our current professional situation.

Bought a home in 2012.
I did not know I was in the market to buy a home. I got out of work early one day; about 3 minutes away from the apartment I noticed the flyer of a home builder. Since my lease was ending in a few months I decided to take a modest look at what a newly constructed home looks like. I walked into the sales office where I was greeted by a tall attractive sales rep. She was very well put together and only spoke when we made direct eye contact. I took a tour of the three level open concept town house. Every inch of the place was decorated to carry you from one area to the next. After 10 minutes, I was captivated by the freshness of the new town house. Fresh carpet (never had that), stainless steel everything (never had that), a master bathroom (never had that). It was hard to believe that 20 minutes ago the only thing on my mind was parking my rear on the couch and watching ESPN as I munched on some Frosted Flakes, They're Grrrreat. Next thing you know I am sitting in a leather chair getting my credit pulled, while I Google search "what does FHA mean" I left the sales office with 3 credit scores and zillion things on my mind. I knew I could not let emotion push me to buy something that takes 30 years to pay off even if I was "qualified". I got to the apartment skipped the Frosted Flakes, pulled out the macbook and sought the internet for advice. After allowing my thoughts to slow down to a speed of which fingers could coherently type, I decided a good place to start would be to look at what else was out there in the 250K ball park. I quickly realized that pictures could not evoke those feelings I had earlier that day. Finding Chris was an absolute Jack Pot. I received a reply within about 1-2 Hrs. I briefed him on my situation and before you know we were opening doors all over Stafford, Fredericksburg, and Spotsylvania. Chris patiently worked with me for about 4 months, answering all of my first time home buyer questions. Such as, What is an Escrow? What is a financing contingency? How much will it cost to repave a drive way? With most of my work requiring travel Chris's flexible scheduling allowed us to hit the road as soon as I returned from trips. The journey concluded when we received an accepted offer on a single family home in Fredericksburg with lots of square footage for expansion. Thanks Chris!

I transferred from Okinawa Japan, to Quantico, VA in the summer of 2011. Chris came highly recommended from a friend. I began my search while I was still in Okinawa. Working with Chris seemed like I was his ONLY client, even though I knew his client list was long. His attentiveness to my needs were unmatched by any other realtor I had contacted. I flew to the area to start my search and for a week straight, Chris took me daily to see numerous listings, consuming nearly his entire day each day. Once I found a house, the process was smooth. The few questions I did have were quickly answered and everything was taken care of. Bottom line is that Chris Ognek is the Extremely good at what he does, he strives to make you feel like you are his only client when you are searching for a home.

Helped me rent a Single Family home in Marumsco village, Woodbridge, VA.
I have been living in a house for almost 4 years. Chris took time to negotiate with the owner to get us in almost immediately after two deaths in my family. I also have an Autistic 21 year old son who lives with me and doesn't do much of anything to get even the smallest problem taken care of. Chris has been nothing but nice, co-operative and mostly does whatever I may need in a timely manner! In todays world, we must have patience, and I have found that it goes a long way. Kudos to you, Chris for all and more success.

Property managed a Townhouse home in Princeton woods, Dumfries, VA.
We have been renting from Q Real State for 3 years now and have had quite the opposite results. They have always responded to us with any challenges we have had with our home. And believe me, we have had some challenges, not to mention, I have rented from quite a few different landlords that have turned out to be slumlords! I am very happy with Q Real State and would recommend them to anyone looking to rent or buy a home! Thank you Q Real State! And for the record I am not having a good day and can still say positive things!

Look I just want to say how my Better Half and I feel about Chris and his TEAM. I am 100% Disabled and have had plenty of burdens to carry,one getting Qualifiedd for a USDA Guarantied Loan. Well we got approved for a closing on 08-23-2012 then the bureaucracy took over and we did not close untilll 12-12-2012. Chris not only kept me sane,the magic was keeping the seller from canceling an invalidi contract (close by 08-30-2012),Chris and his team walked us through all of th e hassles of buying,moving and is there If I need him for anything we do not understand. I would refer him to anyone needing a agent he says what he means and means what he says .Hard to find these day's just ask our seller about their agent. John L.Wheeler Spotsylvania

Bought and sold a Condo home in 2011 in Oakton, VA.
I purchased my first property with Chris' help a little over a year ago. I've heard horror stories of realtors who didn't know what they were doing, inaccessible, or just not attentive. Chris was NONE of those things. I felt re-assured within the first few moments of meeting Chris. I was instantly put at ease. He walked me through the initial steps of what to do to buy a property and was ALWAYS available to answer questions. I almost felt a little badly, because he always seemed available. There was not ONE step in the process where I didn't believe Chris had everything under control. He was very calm and collective and explained EVERYTHING to me about the home buying process. Not only that, but during the home inspection, Chris' inspector was probably one of the most impressive people I've ever met. He custom made a BOOK for me about my property and what to expect in terms of wear and tear in the future. It had handy tips and tricks to keep my home running efficiently to save me money in the long run. I know without a doubt, that I would have paid a LOT more for my property if Chris wasn't aware of the area and what to expect from the seller. I was BLOWN away by how well the purchase of my home went. Where I was really impressed was after the sale. There was an issue with a utility in my home. I had a long drawn out question about a warranty and was looking down the barrel of a few thousand dollars worth of repairs. Chris responded almost immediately with "I set up all of my clients with a home warranty, relax you're covered". Anyone who is reading this review DEFINITELY knows that customer service is hard to find after a transaction is completed, so again I was BLOWN away by the after care that Chris provided. Even today he CONSTANTLY supplies helpful information about the market, and how to maintain my property to make sure my value only goes up. So, to summarize, Chris knows what he is doing. I am a business professional, and rarely see the customer service in my day to day that I see with Chris. He truly and honestly cares about making his client happy, and he works tirelessly to do it. I still believe that a name means something, and I take my name very seriously. I wouldn't recommend anyone who I didn't have faith in, because it could affect my name poorly. I would (and have) COMPLETLEY, without hesitation recommend Chris to not only friends but even casual business acquaintances, who MY reputation means everything to.

Chris help me navigate the property market in stafford. As a property virgin the process was complex at best and down right painfull at worst. But Chris did a lot of hand holding and provided great guidance throughout the process. And finally we got a great place within our budget and in the area we wanted. I highly recommend Chris.

We have been working with Chris for 4 years and feel he has always been incredibly responsive with any of our questions. He has been willing to work with us between selling and buying our home. His responses are helpful and reassuring. In our recent purchase, he was able negotiate an appropriate price when our appraisal came in too low. We are so appreciative of his efforts!

Choosing Chris as our realtor to buy our second home and at the same time lease our condo was a great decision my wife and I made together. Chris is very professional to work with and he really understands the market, especially in the busy Northern Virginia Region. One of the best things working with Chris is that he sacrificed allot of his time to show my wife and I multiple properties throughout the beltway of the Washington, DC Metro Area; as well, Chris was able to locate a house that my wife and I were looking for. He took the time to explain allot of things to us. As well, Chris offered his assistance with a lease agreement between my wife and I and our renter free of charge. He is very thorough, we never felt rushed and he made sure ALL our questions were answered. We never felt pressured into buying a home from Chris, which is something I half expected of a realtor to do. I always felt like he gave us honest advice and that we could trust him. He is a realtor who I would recommend to my friends looking to buy or lease their property. For the reasons mentioned above is why my wife and I have chosen to use him as our realtor once again now that we are selling our house. Garret Robinson

Bought a Single Family home in 2007 in Dumfries, VA.
As a federal employee for over twenty years, I have worked with quite a few real estate agents, but Chris Ognek has been the best. After we relocated from Michigan, we contacted Chris to find a house. We thought we wanted to live in Alexandria, and Chris worked tirelessly, showing us dozens of townhouses, but nothing we saw met our needs. We were frustrated, but Chris did not give up. He suggested a neighborhood farther south. Thanks to Chris' knowledge of the local real estate market he was able to find us the right place. Once we decided to make an offer, Chris utilized his knowledge of the real estate process to negotiate the best possible price and gave us a great rebate (Chris worked on a flat rate instead of a commission). I have never worked with a more responsive, more competent, or more reliable real estate agent. He is an expert in his field and a consummate professional. I highly recommend Chris Ognek and Q Real Estate.

Bought and sold a Townhouse home in 2008 in Fredericksburg, VA.
Chris helpd us find a townhouse for our daughter and her husband when they got married three and a half years ago. He took the time to not only look at several homs she was interested in, but also talked to the young couple about why one location would benefit them more than the other. Since then he has also listed and rented a home out for my husband and I and helped us locate a new hom for ourselves. He has always been extremely professional, extremely knowledgable and very quick to respond to any questons or concerns. We have been married for over 35 years and have dealt with many real estate agents. He and his company have been the best with which we have ever dealt.

I noted the negative review posted for Mr. Ognek and was motivated to respond. I have known Chris now for 5 years. We met when we were desparate to escape an underwater mortgage situation. We started taking action probably two years before short sales became more mainstream, and Chris was the ONLY realtor who we could find who had a solid grasp on the process and how to deal with the banks and the 'system.' I don't know where we would be now if he hadn't shepparded us to a solution. Since then, because we have complete confidence in his abilities, moral values and reliability, we have participated in other investments with Chris. In every event, he has delivered on every expectation. We have recommended him with confidence to several friends, all of whom have expressed gratitude for getting is a consciencious professional with unquestionable integrity, and that was a very unfair and inaccurate description of his character and capabilities.

I am so greatful that Mr. Ognek was our agent. Mr. Ognek always returned our calls in a timely manner. He knew exactly what my family was interested in and if there was a problem he was "on it," right away. We appreciated his honesty and patience while we were working with him and hope that we can work with him in the future.

His skills as a professional are above and beyond any buyers expectations. Chris’s years of experience and training allows him to be one step ahead of anyone else. He provides fast and detailed answers to any questions any one may have. He listens to the customer needs and wants and will go out of his way to get you your new dream home. When we hired Chris to help us buy our new home we didn’t just hire a great professional we made a good friend as well. Chris is now and will always be our Agent and we recommend him to anyone.

We've worked with Chris exclusively for the past 4 years. Made us feel like he had no other clients, we must have looked at over 20 houses before we abandoned our housing hunting due to a family emergency. A year later we resumed our house hunt and found the perfect house, in a great neighborhood. We still call Chris when we have questions about increasing our home's value or for recommendations on service providers. He always has time for us. Chris is the only realtor we will ever use, and have recommended him to many friends, and will continue to do so.

Chris Ognek helped my husband and I find our home in October of 2010. He was very professional, kind, and helpful. Whenever we had any questions or concerns he addressed them right away. What I liked best about Chris was he was very Honest, and never once did we feel pressured by him or any of his staff. Which is a very rare thing in real estate! Very smooth transaction. Chris was even kind enough to help with real estate advice months after our home was sold. Highly recommended. When its time to sell again, I have no question we will be going back to Chris and his team at Q Real Estate.

I began looking for housing in an area that I am not familiar with at all and was lucky enough to link up with Chris with Q Real Estate. After giving only a few hours notice Chris travelled well out of his way to meet me at a property I was very interested in seeing and he has been extremely helpful every step of the way. Knowledgeable both in the buying and lending aspects Chris has answered every question I had and made me feel very comfortable with the entire process. This has been an absolutely wonderful experience and I can not imagine anything that could have made it easier.

Chris Ognek sold my town home 6 and half years ago. The house was on the market for less than a day and we had 4 contracts. The sale of our home was a smooth process. Chris also spent months with my daughter and her husband trying to find their perfect first home. Chris is a professional and a very knowledgeable agent. He is responsive, listened to our needs so that we were not wasting time looking at homes that are out of our price rage or wrong location making sure your needs are met and then negotiates with the seller so that you are getting a fair price. Chris is great to work with and I would highly recommend him to my family and friends.

Sold a Single Family home in 2012 in Fredericksburg, VA.
Two months ago we landed a job out of state, which required us to sale our home in VA. My wife's friend recommended Q Real Estate. I usually base business on a hand shake. You can tell a lot about a person by the way they respond to a hand shake. Anyways, on the first day I met Chris, I didn't feel any negativity after shaking his hand. From that point on working with him to sale our house was an Adventure I'll never forget. We were trying to sale our home during Thanksgiving/Christmas plus the housing market was really not all that great. Furthermore, we were moving in December and really did not want to handle two mortgages. Chris worked extremely hard with some various clients interested in buying our home. He kept us notified on a weekly basis of what was going on and what the next steps where. Even when our first bid fell through the cracks, Chris helped us keep our heads level and stay positive without feeding us a bunch of "false hope". Glad to say, Q Real Estate helped us make a small profit and walk away from selling our home happy and content. I would definitely recommend Chris to anybody wanting to sale their home or get into a home. Justin

Some and most people get upset and relieve their stress on others. my advice is just say a Prayer. I haev dealt with Q Real Estate (Chirs) as a new buyer and he was exeptionally great. He listenned, and helped us throughout to the end. Even after sigining in my contract i still contact him when i need help and they answer. I have referred many people to him and will continue doing so. my advie is when you are upset, seek the Lord to restore you to your happy self. Thank you Chris for all the help, i will deifinitely use you again in future.

I bought a house through Chris so did my sister in-law and her close friend. We all loved him he was so helpful full of knowledge of the area. He goes way beyond his job helping you even in areas that his job does not require. Even after the purchase was over he still continues to help and keep in touch. He is not like most agents that after you purchase the house they seem to forget you and forget about helping you with anything. I cannot say enough about him. Choosing him will be the best decision you ever make. Mildred Turner

Bought a Single Family home in 2009 in Dale city, Woodbridge, VA.
I decided, with some trepidation, to purchase a house in 2009, when the market was crashing and I was only 26 years old. This was going to be my first house and I was very nervous and overwhelmed by the entire process. He was very patient as I can be picky and we must have looked at 50 homes, most of them in dilapidated condition due to the overwhelming number of foreclosures. He helped me see past the mold, past the damage, and helped me see what it could be. I took a chance and bought a house that basically had nothing in it; no ceiling in the kitchen, no appliances, and mold. Chris told me to look at the prices in the neighboring area and encouraged me to get this great investment. I would have NEVER bought this house withouthhim; I completely trusted him and his expertise proved to be incredible. As a result of his expertise in the markets, the house I purchased was recently appraised for $90,000 more than what I paid for it including the money I spent fixing it up. Chris pointed me towards financing options, at a great rate, that would assist me in acquiring additioanl capital to repari the house, otherwise known as a 203K loan. He recommended a great contractor and the one issue I had with the contractor during construction was handled by Chris personally and immediately. One year later I had an issue with the house due to work done by the contractor Chris recommended. I called them both and it was immediately taken care of, free of charge. This was a year later! Well after I closed, after Chris had been paid, after enough time had passed when he could have forgotten who I was. Free assistance a year fater my purchase? Who does that!? Chris! His personal touch can not be beaten. I plan to rent my house out next year and it will only be with Chris. I can not recommend him enough and he is the only realtor I will use again in the Northern Virginia area.

I worked with Chris Ognek a little over a year ago to buy a house in Centreville, VA. When I first met Chris, I was already tired of the house-hunt and I hadn't had any luck with Realtors. Chris changed my mindset and worked hard to help me find a house to buy. I was so impressed with him that I recommended him to my cousin, who ended up buying a house in Manassas, VA with Chris' help.

This is the most professional, knowledgable Realtor I ever met. He's the owner of the office, a verteran, and academy grad. It doesnt get better than this guy for buying or selling a house. I've done several transactions and they all went perfectly, only because he was on top of every detail and everyone likes him.

Helped me rent a Single Family home in Spotsylvania, VA.
I am renting a house from Q Real Estate. They have never fixed anything we listed on the walk thru and we have lived in this house for 6 months. They never respond to any phone calls or emails or texts. Never again will we rent from Q real estate!!
Response from ChrisChris Ognek 01/31/2013 I am the owner of Q Real Estate so I immediately called my agent who is managing this property. She has been in constant contact with this tenant and was not aware of any problems. Since this tenant moved in, a brand new HVAC system was installed and the dishwasher and refrigerator were repaired or replaced within 24hrs of a call. The owner is also installing a new roof. When asked if there are any existing problems that need to be addressed, the tenant responded that there are not. When asked what prompted this review, the response was something to the effect of just being upset one day but no specifics were given. The relationship between this tenant and my agent continues to be cordial, just as it has always been. My entire staff and I make every effort to provide the highest possible service to both our customers and clients. I was relieved to hear there are no problems or deficiencies affecting this tenant and we will continue to serve them in the best way we know how.
