My team is recognized as the #1 Team in the Long and Foster Office and ranked among the Top 100 Long and Foster Agents out of over 11,000 agents company-wide.

Ratings & Reviews

Elizabeth Thomas

Chris and Marilyn, my sincere appreciation to both of you. In the beginning I was an ‘unknown quantity’ as to my plans, whether to buy or rent and when! You were patient and helped me explore all of my options at my own speed. I met a lot of agents when I first started looking, and I’m glad my intuition to choose you proved spot on! You have my sincere recommendation to anyone.

Chris Brennan was fantastic! Working with him was a pleasure! He was very patient with us and always followed up – we feel very lucky to have found Chris. We feel we met an exceptional realtor and a new friend! He is a credit to his profession and we would recommend his services to all!

Carolyn Hird

Marilyn, I received a complimentary letter from your client concerning the purchase of his home. He was quite impressed with your excellent customer service and communicated this to the head of Marriott Relocation! In what appears to have been a stressful transaction you went above and beyond to make the move as easy as possible. I truly appreciate your hard work and everything you do for Long and Foster. Thank you and keep up the good work!

When I hear of friends, family and/or clients needing a realtor in the northern Virginia area, I immediately ask them if they have chosen the best real estate team. Almost everyone says, “I think so”. I then follow-up with, “Well, if you don’t have the Brennan Team then you don’t have the best! Because they treat you like you are family!” As a person who has moved 48 times, bought and sold 15 homes I have experienced a lot of real estate professionals. Marilyn and Chris listened to what we were looking for in a home. They gave us frank advice and helped us find the home of our dreams! They never controlled our decision making process, but always gave a lot of things to take into consideration. Throughout the negotiations, Marilyn and Chris were caring and we consider ourselves blessed to have found such a beautiful home and so very thankful for Marilyn and Chris Brennan!

Eddie, thank you for referring Marilyn and Chris to me. As you know I had been working with another real estate agent for about a year without any luck in finding a home. In the short time I have been working with them, I was able to find the perfect home and I closed on it last Friday! Marilyn Brennan is by far the best Realtor I have ever worked with. What sets her apart from all the others is her dedication to her clients. I could tell right away that her main concer was to find a home for me. She understood my style and what my needs were. One main thing that set Marilyn apart from the others is her responsiveness. I had quite a few questions throughout the process, and I always felt comfortable asking her. Even if she didn’t have the answer to something immediately, she would find out the answer and always get back to me in a timely manner. There is no doubt in my mind that I would and will refer Marilyn to anybody and everybody I know who is looking for a home.

May Caffi, Senior Director, Relocation and Immigration Services

Marriott International’s Relocation Team has been working with Marilyn Brennan with Long and Foster for many, many years! She is considered by our Relocation team as one of our top agents in the United States. The transferees always rave about her knowledge, compassion, negotiation skills, and her ability to listen to the needs and to find the right location and the right house that works for them. Our transferees rate the real estate agents and Marilyn and Chris always get the highest rating. Marilyn is our go to agent for the executives moving to Virginia, and I am confident that they will deliver a great experience for you and your family!

Craig S Smith, Marriott International Group President

I have worked for Marriott International in various overseas locations for over 27 years. Returning to the US and the process of purchasing a home left me feeling like a new immigrant having to sift through all the processes. An American face, passport, and accent - but it felt like I had moved to a foreign country. Marilyn took me by the hand and guided me through the entire process, performing many taks that I should have followed up on myself. We ended up closing on our home while still living in Hong King which should have made the process even more challenging. It wasn’t. Not a single detail was missed. She answered a barrage of questions, followed up on every detail, and sent me reminders when I fell behind. Many of my friends described how soon after closing their realtor disappeared…commissions earned. Marilyn and Chris continue to represent us, follow-up on items, and advocate for us. They protected us throughout the entire sale and post-sale process.
