About Judy

Selling or buying a home doesn’t have to be stressful. You need an experienced guide who knows the Northern Virginia housing market and a plan designed to fit your needs and goals, so you can get the most money from the sale of your home, relax, and move on to your next chapter.

Most people don’t like to negotiate, but I love it. I care. I listen. And I will deliver an extraordinary home selling/buying experience.

My family and I moved to Northern Virginia in 2004 on a military assignment. We loved the area so much that we decided to stay. I am the wife of a retired Army soldier. In my 12 years as a military spouse, we moved four times so I know how stressful it can be!

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology and an Associate’s degree in Business and Marketing. I have spent most of my professional life in sales and customer service; my takeaway is that the key to success is to simply listen and help people get what they want. Above all else, I pride myself on my strong ethics and professionalism. In my spare time, I enjoy running, working out, camping, skiing, and traveling to new places.

I am honored to have been chosen by Washingtonian Magazine as a Top Real Estate Agent in 2020 and 2021 and to have been in the top 50 agents for Century 21 in Virginia for the past three years.

“My wife and I are both active-duty military. I have bought and sold 5 homes. Hands down, Judy is BY FAR the best real estate agent we have ever worked with. Her attention to detail, clarity and timeliness of communication, and advice/expertise were impeccable. Throughout the entire process, we felt our interests were being represented. We would not choose another agent”

Testimonials

Judy was absolutely amazing. In the initial meeting she was friendly, professional, and prepared. I did phone interviews with five (5) Agents and met with two (2). Upon meeting Judy, it was clear that working with her would be the right choice. Throughout the process, her guidance, advice, support, knowledge, and experience made her worth her weight in gold. At each point where a decision was needed, she actively listened and ensured she was clear on expectations/outcome before: 1) giving advice and 2) being actionable with "the client's decision" (I would recommend heeding her advice as it will be in your best interest- smile). Her tailored and focused efforts, which included access to her network of service professionals, virtual staging-as needed, home modeling, beautiful pictures, and 2 Open Houses; culminated in multiple offers and a contract just after 1 week from official listing. I highly recommend her as an Agent of Choice, who will exceed your expectations.

Hi Judy, I just wanted to thank you once again for all of your help during these past 2 months. You helped me through q uite a challenging time of doing a sell/move that could have tanked early on and/or failed in the final stages. I knew I'd made an excellent choice when I chose you as my realtor from Day 1, Minute 1. I will be sure to pass the word to anyone who asks! I'm sure I nagged and bugged you enough these past weeks, so I'll keep it short. Take care and stay safe and thank you thank you thank you!

Judy Petrak is the BEST!! I listed my house on For Sale By Owners (FSBO). After a week of calls from realtors wanting to list my house for me, I decided to interview some of of them in case the FSBO did not work out. I did not connect with any of them. While looking at listings in my neighborhood, I saw a house that was only on the market for seven days and was under contract. So, I decided to call the listing agent, JUDY PETRAK. I contacted Judy on a Friday, met her a few hours later, and immediately wanted her to list my house. Her personality, knowledge and organizational skills are unmatched. The entire process from start to closing was stress free thanks to Judy. She listed my house on a Friday and we were under contract on Sunday! TWO DAYS…AMAZING!! If you are in the market to buy or sell, do yourself a favor and contact Judy. It is more than a job for Judy, it is her passion. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Judy started as my realtor, but now she is a friend. Thank you Judy!!

Judy is a real Pro! She understood our neighborhood and it’s history of sales which made negotiations with prospectiv e buyers a breeze. Our home sold in 1 day. As we had bought our next home before selling our existing home, Judy was able to help manage getting us to closing remotely so it all went smoothly. If you have a chance to work with Judy, DO IT!

I was very happy with the entire process and the work that Judy did. The house was under contract within two days of it going on the market and the deal was finalized within three weeks. And the house sold at 15K above the listed price. I just left it in her hands and she took care of it all!!!

I cannot speak any more highly of Judy Petrak. It's rare that someone is well above average in multiple aspects of thei r job but Judy truly is. She possesses every single characteristic you would want in a realtor and she taught us so much along the way, she has the heart of an educator and has a genuine desire to help us get the perfect home.
Review by
Parker and Jane Tomasi
Judy is extremely personable and easy to communicate with. She works tirelessly to help buyers find the perfect home and makes herself available at all hours, to include weekends, and holidays. Judy fiercely represents her client’s interests and is a tough negotiator who works hard to obtain the best price possible as well as seller concessions. Finally, Judy contributed $1500.00 from her personal sales commissions to help cover closing costs. A gesture that when combined with other seller concessions she had secured, allowed for a refund of almost half of our earnest money deposit at closing.

Hector Lima, Dumfries
Judy is an amazing realtor! Not only is she very knowledgeable, but she also cares about her clients. She has gone above and beyond with us and has walked us through every step of the process in selling our home and buying a new one. I would 100% recommend Judy to my friends and family!

Fereshta Karzai, Montclair
We hired Judy Petrak to represent us in purchasing a new home and selling our current home. She was a true professional. I really see how her knowledge and insight sets her apart. I will recommend Judy to everyone as she deserves the highest praise. She knew the true value of properties both in what we were looking to buy and on the sale of our current home. From the professional pictures to the staging recommendations, our home looked amazing and stood out among the competition. In our home purchase she saved us money, health and peace of mind in buying our new home. In a market where buyers are waiving inspections to compete, we were able to get a contingent inspection and found a few items that saved us in our purchase. Judy goes above and beyond for her clients and is such a great advocate. Real estate transactions can be confusing and stressful and Judy thought of everything. She also took time to explain everything. The whole process was smooth and as easy as it could be because of Judy's care, knowledge and attention to detail. If you want someone you can trust who you know will advocate for your best interest, don't hesitate to hire Judy Petrak!

Judy Petrak was amazing! From the moment we hired her she hit the ground running, and accommodated all of our requests a nd last minute searches. Judy was extremely patient with us, and beyond helpful. We were first time home buyers and Judy walked us through each and every step of our home buying process. Can't say enough good things about Judy. If we were to ever need to buy/sell a house again, we would absolutely contact her.

Judy sold our home in three days. She is amazingly knowledgeable about the entire process and spot on for what we neede d to accomplish to get the place ready to sell. She hired an amazing photographer and made sure our home looked as new. Judy is an absolute professional and would recommend her to anyone in the market, whether buying or selling a home.

To Whom It May Concern: The decision to go with Judy Petrak as the realtor, to sell our home, was because of many reaso ns. I knew Judy prior to this transaction so it was a given that she was going to be very professional and knowledgeable of her job. We felt Judy was a good fit for us but most of all, we needed someone to comfort and ease our mind through this process. Judy exceeded our expectations. Her response time was impeccable. There was never a thought of "did Judy receive our text or email?". When I look at Judy, I think of classy, elegant and very well put together. Well, that was how the presentation of our home looked. The photographer she used was amazing. We received numerous compliments on the photos that were used, the aerial video (the music was a nice touch) and most of all, the elegant tri-fold pamphlet. Our Buyers used a VA Loan. Therefore, the process took longer than we had wanted but with Judy by our side, everything went very well. I could go on and on but overall, I would highly recommend Judy as a realtor. She has your interest at heart and will go the extra effort to make you happy.. We have had 3 other real estate experiences prior to this transaction and I have to say this was the best experience for us. I think the buyers also felt comfortable with her. They had met her at one of the open house event. Should you have any further questions about our experience, please feel free to reach out to us via email at mike.hill5@yahoo.com or tramhill@yahoo.com. V/r, Mike & Tram Hill

Chuck Wheeler. Dumfries, VA
Judy is more than a Realtor to us. We consider her to be a great friend who also happens to be an incredible realtor. Judy helped us through every process of purchasing our home while we were stationed overseas. Which can be difficult because of the time zone differences. Communication and managing expectations are two crucial skills for any Realtor and Judy managed both of these skills at the highest level throughout our entire process. We would highly recommend Judy to anyone looking to help them with their home buying/selling/renting needs. We love Judy Petrak!

I met Judy 2 and half years ago when I was looking to rent a home. She took me on different showings but also mentioned the pros of owning a home. I decided not to buy at that time. However something she said stuck with me...she made the comment regarding one of the homes and that she would not let me buy that house. That let me know she cared about my well being and not just selling/buying. Fast forward to this year. I reached out to Judy ready to buy. She made a suggestion on a location she thought would be best for me...but me being the person I am (stubborn), I wanted to look at other places. We looked at homes in other locations...and guess where I found my dream home?! The same place Judy recommended! She listens to your wants and needs and has the best suggestions. She also respects your opinion. From putting in an offer to the final closing, Judy was always available...no matter the time! She is the best...no question!! Thank you Judy!!

I worked with Judy to sell my old home and her knowledge of the local market convinced me she was the right agent to wor k with when buying my new home. Judy recommended a home inspector forr me who was extremely thorough and professional (and personable). Her recommendation and the home inspector’s quality of service saved me from purchasing a home with a multitude of hidden problems that I would not have been able to afford to correct. Judy answered all my questions within the day, or let me know she was working to find the answers. She was always clear in her emails and in conversation. She explained the purchase contract well enough and simply enough that I was not confused and felt confident moving forward with any actions. The home buying process can be daunting, but Judy made every step of the way easy and stress free. I truly believe she is one of the best agents out there.

I interviewed three brokers. Of the three, Judy Petrak was the most prepared, most knowledgable, and gave me the most pe ace of mind about selling my home. She communicated clearly and frequently throughout the home selling process, and had infinite patience with my questions and concerns. She was also empathetic and understanding when it came to inevitable bumps in the metaphorical road to a sale. I would highly recommend her!
