EXCELLENT Based on 19 reviews Jaclyn J2025-08-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As first-time homebuyers, my family and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent than Mahdi Salarfar. We were looking for the perfect home in Northern Virginia—something that could accommodate our growing, multi-generational family—and Mahdi delivered in every way. He was patient and kind and always greeted us with a friendly smile and the best attitude ever. His market knowledge was unmatched. We toured over 50 homes, and throughout it all, Mahdi never lost patience. Instead, he helped us regroup and refocus on what truly mattered to us. His honest, open communication was constant, and his insights on everything—from utilities and structural elements to renovation potential—became our most valuable tool in the home-buying process. Mahdi was more than just an agent; he was our advocate and friend. When it came time to make an offer, he never said “no or I don’t think so” to our requests or very specific needs. He simply said, “I’ll do everything I can to make it happen”—and he did always make it happen. If for some reason he he didn’t know the answer (which was rare) he would have the answer for us before we even left the listing. He understood the assignment and the importance of not just the home itself, but the outdoor space and the flexibility for future additions for our growing family. Mahdi went above and beyond every step of the way, and we felt genuinely cared for and supported throughout the entire process. We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home. He is the absolute best at what he does—and we’re so thankful we had him by our side. He is 10 out of 10 the best agent ever and we have made a friend for life and a friendly face for our children. Josh Klassen2025-07-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our experience buying a house with Mahdi was fantastic. He’s a true advocate for his clients. Mahdi eats and breaths real estate. This isn’t his side hustle or hobby, you'll get all his energy and focus. Alanah Daniel2025-05-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After working with Mahdi Salarfar, I can honestly say that I would work with him in the future. He worked with us during a very hectic time as we were relocating to a new area and had lots of things going on all at once. Mahdi is professional, maintained excellent communication throughout the entire process, and always kept things positive. Beyond helping us find a home, Mahdi advocated for us about a certain issue, which not only benefited us but also helped our future neighbors avoid a potentially expensive problem down the line. It was truly a pleasure working with Mahdi. Annette Poore2025-04-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mahdi has been a true blessing for me getting through this project! We’ve worked together for 6 months now doing a whole house renovation & I lived 400 miles away from the property! Mahdi really knows what he’s doing. He has developed fabulous resources. If I asked, he delivered. After months of running multiple road trips from one end of Virginia to the other once we had it ready he sold my house in four days. Four days! He recognized a strong offer and has helped me every step of the way. I could not have found a better partner to help me through this project.

Purchasing our first home in Virginia wouldn’t have been possible without his support. My family and I are grateful not only for his expertise but also for gaining a dear friend.

Al Mcknight2022-08-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I were 1rst time Home owners so you can imagine how stressful that was. Mahdi was unbelievable in his pursuit for us. I manage a hotel and I can honestly day this was the best customer service I've ever had in my life! I can't think him and his team enough for my our dream come true! Just amazing!! John Nystrom2022-05-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My famiy and I just purchased a home in the middle of moving to Ashburn from VT. We connected with Mahdi through Homes for Heros. From the beginning we shared with Mahdi our needs and were clear that we needed an aggressive realtor who is not shy about VA loans. We knew we would have clean offers and Mahdi did an amazing job putting those together for us. We only put in two offers and both were accepted. Mahdi not only met our needs but also is an intelligent agent who understands the market and the stats. This allowed us to be exactly where we needed to be with this purchase. Buying a home out of state can be challenging, but this guy made the process easy and was on top of all the paperwork and super quick to respond. He is easy to get along with, no pressure and honest about the process. He definitely knows what he is doing and I would absolutely recommend him to my own friends and family.
