Meet The Checkmate Group

We were lucky to be referred to Peter Lopuch through a good friend, in our search to buy a home. It was really great to work with Peter. He is not only very knowledgeable in the DMV area, but has a great customer service attitude that put us at ease throughout our search. As our search covered a wide area from VA to MD and finally in DC, he showed great interest in understanding our needs, continuously fine tuning the search criteria, which greatly helped us narrow down our options. He consistently went above and beyond, offering all sorts of advice and help, even after we bought the property. We are extremely happy with how the whole transactio...

Excellent Real State. Peter Lopuch helped us to find the right home for us. Peter was always available for us when we had questions or when we wanted to visit homes at the time we required. Peter was not pushy and showed lot of objectivity when we asked for advise. He made us aware of important details we didn’t catch related to the home or location. Peter provided recommendations for lender and was ok with our choices and the many times we requested additional information or clarifications on the terms of the contract. We are very happy with our house and the negotiation outcome. We had very good end to end experience with Peter.

Peter Lopuch is an outstanding realtor. He helped me sell a Condo apartment in Ballston, in Arlington. He was very active in inspecting and advising me on preparing the apartment for sale. Kept me informed through every step of the process, always got back to me quickly when I had questions, and best of all, sold the apartment the first weekend it was listed, at the asking price. I would happily work with Peter again. I have no doubt his knowledge of the local market was a major factor in getting a quick sale.

Our experience with Peter Lopuch has been absolutely wonderful from start to completion. Peter made the entire process of selling our condo extremely seamless and kept us abreast of what was happening on a daily basis. Since we're not in the real estate business, Peter did an excellent job with all the details, both minor and major, and did an excellent job of keeping us informed of what was happening. Peter is dedicated, trustworthy and a very responsible real estate agent. We wouldn't hesitate to call upon him again in the future.

My husband and I are relatively new to DMV area. A friend of us, who had previously worked with Peter to find his home, recommended him to us. We are forever grateful to both of them:) Peter Lopuch is not your average real estate agent. He LOVES his job and that kind of dedication and passion makes a huge difference every step of the way. He not only helped us with standard industry resources but also helped us to better educate ourselves about different neighborhoods in the DMV area. He was flexible, patient, professional, super supportive, knowledgeable, timely and an absolute pleasure to work with. Peter, thank you for everything:)

We had a great experience with Peter Lopuch in helping us in purchasing our first home in Waldorf Maryland; Peter literally walked us through the whole process, he was patience with us as this being our first home and allowed us to dot all our I's and crossed all our T's in the transaction.

Peter was great in helping us find a home in Arlington, VA. We have been in the place for 6 months and are happier then ever! He is a great professional and is very knowledgeable of the DC -Metro area. Would recommend to anyone finding a home in Arlington, VA!

Peter Lopuch was incredibly helpful in our search for a home in Ashburn, VA! He ensured that the process went smoothly and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the homes we looked at and, ultimately, our beautiful place! Peter was with us every step of the way and we are so grateful for all the effort he put in!

My name is Ms. J. Harris and I am client of Mr. Peter Lopuch. I can honestly say I am more than satisfied with his excellent customer service. He assisted me in finding my house this year 2021. What I respect about Peter more than anything is his attitude toward me, his patience with me He never rushed me and his honesty in our conversations in helping me make the right decisions in choosing my house. He listened to what needs were needed to accommodate me to live in a specific house. I felt valuable as if I were his only customer. Even to this day He has made it clear that I could still reach out to Him for any questions and concerns that may aris...

Peter was great! He was very helpful and knowledgeable. Answered every question that we had and got the job done quick! Will definitely call him if I need to find another place in the NOVA area.

Peter was a really great agent and he was very helpful! I'm glad to have met him and be able to get help from him. He's friendly, nice, very caring and patient!

Larry Riggs quickly lined up some homes for me to view that fit my preferences and within a week from contacting him I had made an offer on a home. The process of closing on the home was complicated by a number of outside circumstances, but Larry was always available to answer questions or to take care of his side of preparations for closing. He recommended the financer who saw us through all the way to closing, and gave advice on handling the offer on the home that let me get a good price for it. His wife Sandi was also very kind and proficient through the process of closing. Larry's knowledge of the area and professional connections let us move qu...

Kat Wetzel put in a great deal of effort to clear out, clean out, and spruce up the house (inside and out) at low cost, but with maximum results. Her enthusiasm and confidence stood out in all she did. She feels like a friend, not just a realtor. I am hard-pressed to think of anything that she could have done better.

Kevin was outstanding. From beginning to end, he consistently exceeded expectations. He is the reason why we got the house we wanted, despite the very short time frame, the competitive market, and the fact that he was out of state! He made it happen and took care of everything for us. Highly recommend Kevin LaRue.

Tracey helped my family sell our parent's home and did a fantastic job! It was a no-brainer to retain her for our own home sale. Tracey was always available and willing to help when we needed her! I would highly recommend Tracey Barrett to family and friends - she gets your home sold fast!

I know many Real Estate Agents and had opportunities to go with others, but I am glad we went with Chelsea. We are extremely grateful and beyond satisfied after working with Chelsea. Our hard requirements were not easy to meet, but she enthusiastically searched, toured, and ultimately found us the perfect home. I will refer all of my friends to Her after this experience. Chelsea maintained complete professionalism while providing an exciting and fun house search. She is knowledgeable about the market, easy to talk to, prompt, and polite. 10/10 would recommend

I have worked with Daniella several times. She always amazes me with her extensive knowledge of the real estate industry, regulations, and best practices. For the second time, she saved me money on a home purchase. I have and will continue to refer my family and friends to her. Thanks, Daniella!

Jeannie Nguyen was a pleasure to work with, inspiring confidence from the start. Jeannie helped us establish an ambitious but realistic sales price and she never lost confidence that we would find a buyer. While we were considering spending money on improvement to enhance our sales appeal, Jeannie recommended we save our money and let the marketing strategy work, which it certainly did! We couldn't be more satisfied with Jeannie's services and will certainly recommend her to our friends.

I selected Tracey based on her RSC-D qualifications knowing that the sale of the house would be problematic due to a divorce. Tracey was up to the challenge and was unwavering in her commitment. She was impartial throughout, diligent in getting the house ready for sale, and drew upon her network of contractors who had faith in her that they would get paid from the sale proceeds. In turn with this challenging sale, she worked with my lawyer and a special commissioner as she gained experiences that buttressed her RCS-D designator. Professional, respectful, and non-judgemental throughout the whole process. I have and will continue to send friends and f...

Kristin is absolutely amazing at what she does. When we decided to sell our home, my husband said "Do we really even need to hire a realtor? wow, did Kristin prove him wrong! Her hard work through the entire process made it very clear to us just how important hiring an expert realtor is, and what a difference it makes! My husband has said over and over again, "I don't know how I thought we could do this without a realtor." Kristin went above and beyond to guide us through each step of the process and make sure we were well-equipped to sell our home quickly and for the best possible price. She communicated effectively, explained everything clearly, a...

I can't recommend Kevin enough. He goes above and beyond what is expected and even in tough situations will find solutions. Extremely knowledgeable about the area and always has great references and vendors if your property needs anything. Kevin has been with me for all my purchases and moves, I can't imagine dealing with anyone else. If you're buying or selling do yourself a favor and let Kevin LaRue handle it!

Chelsea was fantastic and we will be sure to recommend her to others.

Gina found the needle in a haystack home that fit our needs perfectly! She helped facilitate communication with the builder and explained every step of the new construction process. We had a great experience and are extremely grateful to her for finding the home of our dreams!

Worked with Kay a few times. She always gets the job done!

This is the second home purchase I have done with Magda and her service, attention to detail of the properties, and attention to detail of my needs in a home and neighborhood have been over the top. I cannot say enough how critical she has been to making the entire home purchase process painless and very enjoyable. The home we got is exactly what we need. I just can't say enough about how conscientious Magda has been through the entire purchase process.

Tracey Farmer was amazing! She was upfront with my husband and me about how everything would work. We had never sold a property before and were not familiar with the process. Tracet was on top of everything and kept us up to date on everything that was going on. Tracey was very transparent with my husband and I. She has been more of a friend than an agent. I really appreciate that. Also, our property was sold quickly. I highly recommend her to friends and family.

One of the best decisions we made when moving! My husband and I are so happy we decided to go with Ideal Agent because it led us to Katherine! She was so amazingly knowledgeable, reassuring, and overall just so wonderful through the whole experience of buying for us! She made sure to hear all our concerns and come up with a step-by-step plan for our busy family and really made us feel like she had our back and we were taken care of! We couldn't express enough how thankful we were to have her as our agent and if we were to ever move again we wouldn't do it any other way than with Katherine! Kat was always there for us when we had any questions or con...

Kay Wetzel was courteous, responsive and patient. She listened to me vent and was always positive.

Kat was friendly, and seemed ready to go to work for us from the "git-go". Always willing to hear our desire for the sale and willing to compromise where applicable. Life would be good if all the everyday people we have to work with were as wonderful as Kat Wetzel. Definitely will be at the top of our list the next time we need a realtor.

We absolutely love Kat. As stated before she sold two homes of ours and helped us buy one. Each and every time she has been a godsend. She makes the stress of selling on top of moving a breeze! She was always there when we needed her and made us feel like family. We will always use her and she's our number one when referring to others. We love her!

She was just great

We are retired home builders, spec house builders, and house flippers. Kat was the best agent we have used. Highly recommend using her as your agent. Her ideas/suggestions, property photos, and helping with staging and closing are top-notch.

Ms Norton is an excellent agent. She is extremely knowledgeable and very helpful, and help me through every step of the process of selling my old home and buying my new home. I highly recommend Ms. Norton to anyone who is contemplating buying or selling a home. When the first buyer's loan fell through, Ms Norton put my house back on the market immediately. There were two buyers on the same day. Outstanding. Would gladly use this company again if the need arises. The entire experience was stress free.

Ben was great to work with very punctual and up to date on market trends!

I genuinely don’t think we could have done it without her! Sam was just excellent. When we picked our new home, she helped me figure out what my family needed and the style I wanted. That sped up the search process so much that we only had to walk into one home! When we wrote the offer, she helped me negotiate a great price and worked to include some furniture and fitness equipment. Throughout the entire process, she Reviewed and explained all the documents throughout the process reducing my stress and helping my confidence. She completed a thorough final walk-through inspection and found that two significant appliances were no longer working. This ...

I can't say enough positive things about Marc. I've never met anyone like him. Not only is he a true gentleman and, a great listener, he possesses tremendous knowledge about sales in Reston. He provided excellent guidance and took so much stress off my shoulders by organizing condo cleaning, carpet cleaning, washing machine gasket repair, reglazing the sink in the mstr bath, installing the vanity top and adding electrical outlets to the enclosed sunroom. WHEW. the word. AMAZING just doesn't seem adequate. not to mention unlimited patience. If I was in real estate I would hire him in a split second. He deserves a huge bonus. Simply AMAZING. I could n...

My husband and I were first-time home buyers. Stacy would always explain everything to us to make sure that we understand. She was always fine with us bringing our parents along to get their opinion. She would always send us everything in a timely manner. It was a great experience with her and we would definitely recommend her to others!

Chelsea was a phenomenal help in our search for finding a home. She was able to bring peace of mind during a stressful move and helped us in every way that she could to keep the process moving forward. Would absolutely work with her again and recommend her to anyone.

Anuzia went above and beyond to help us get the most value for our home. The market was already getting stormy and she still was able to get us top dollar and an extremely quick turnaround. Highly recommend it and will use it again. Thanks Anuzia!

Laura makes herself available and is incredibly attentive. I would recommend Laura to everyone because I will be working with her myself in any future transaction! It is truly her life's passion to find your dream property. Thank you, Laura!

Tracey is a true professional that looks out for her clients and their best interests. This is my 2nd property sale with her and I wouldn't consider any other agent to help me with any real estate needs. She is confident in her knowledge and confident in her communication to get the job done

Tracey was awesome! Was always there for questions and to assist with anything we needed. We would highly recommend her to family and friends!

I selected Tracey because she knows the local area, has a fantastic sales record, and felt she represented our best interest in the sale of our home. She was always available to us to answer questions during the process and worked hard to get us the price we wanted. Thank you, Tracey!

She treated you like family was comfortable with her.

The moment Tracey stepped foot in our home we felt at ease. We knew with the very first conversation with her she was going to do her best to sell our home and get us the best deal possible. There was no need to stress or worry about anything other than packing up the house because Tracey had every single detail taken care of. She stayed in touch with us at all times and she was quick to get us answers when we had questions. Tracey is an incredible realtor and we were blessed to have her helping us with one of the biggest transitions in our lives.

Tracey worked with us for over 8 months through a tedious building process. We felt that we could call on her at any time for advice. She advocated for us throughout the entire process. We felt we were well represented by Tracey. Tracey was the epitome of what a good agent should be.

Tracey has helped us sell two of our homes and buy three homes. She always makes the process stress-free and is always honest and has been helpful each time. Tracey is not only our agent but our friend and my husband and I consider her part of our family. We would recommend Tracey to anyone and know that whoever we would refer her to would be just as happy with her as we have always been!

I buy and sell several properties every year. Trust is a key in my selection which is built over time. Was very flexible with my schedule which was key to getting pictures and listing timed perfectly. She has the best followers than anyone I have ever worked with.

Had a fantastic time buying our first home with Tracey, so of course we had no one else in mind but her for selling the same home. We're so lucky we had the opportunity to work with someone who has so much knowledge and experience.

Tracy handled everything! I wouldn't have wanted to use anyone else!
