Timothy Neal - BNI Tysons Referral Masters #N150
 
I like to give accolades to Karen for responding to a same day request for the delivery of a beautiful gift basket for my wife and 15 nicely gift wrapped boxes of candy for my former coworkers. I called Karen this past Tuesday around 1pm with an urgent request to create a gift basket and come up with small token of appreciation gifts for my former co workers by 4pm that afternoon. Karen responded superbly, she told me she would put something nice together and have then delivered to Champps Restauraunt at Pentagon City in Arlington. Karen was true to her word, the baskets and gifts were beautiful and delivered on time. My wife and former co workers were throughly impressed and appreciative. Thanks again Karen I will be using you in the near future and recommending your services to my friends , family and business associates.

I just wanted to share what being a part of BNI has done for me and my real estate career. A few years back I made a life changing decision. I took the real estate licensing courses and tests, got my license to practice in Virginia, and embarked on a new career that I had absolutely no experience. For the first 10 months of being a "Realtor" I didn't sell even 1 house and as you might imagine, I became extremely frustrated and began questioning my decision regarding my real estate venture. Then just as I was about to throw in the towel, a mortgage lender I knew invited me to a BNI meeting. Wow! The best advice anyone has given me in years! Come to a BNI meeting and build your business with the “Givers Gain” philosophy.

After that first meeting, I went up to the BNI-NOVA ambassador, Marvin Powell and asked “How do I join?” Marvin gave me some important information, guiding me through starting my own chapter, The Northern Virginia Business Alliance and mentored me as a new BNI member. I also took advantage of all the amazing tools made available to me through Sam Schwartz and BNI-NOVA and the trainings provided by Sam’s team, Kirk Johnson and Dave Boyd. The leaders of BNI-NOVA made it easy to turn my budding chapter into a highly successful BNI-NOVA referral “machine.” As my chapters membership grew, I found my own business grew too. I finished my first full year as the Top Rookie Producer in my office and third highest grossing Rookie Agent in my company out of 1000’s of new agents. When the economy started it’s spiral down, my BNI team chanted “We will Not Participate in This Recession!” And committed to each other that none of our sales would suffer and pledged to make it the best year ever! And you know what? Last year was my best year ever. When the average sales Agent in Northern VA in the Washington DC metro Real Estate Market sold less than less than 3 houses, My BNI team helped me to sell nearly 100 homes sold and over $18,000,000.00 in sales volume, putting me in a elite class of the top 1% Sales Producing Realtors in the entire country! I could have never accomplished my success without the driving support of the members of The Northern Virginia Business Alliance and BNI-NOVA.

Ernest Marshall - Quality Carpet One

We have completed a major flooring project in our house with the installation of carpet, hardwood and bamboo flooring. The quality of the work was excellent as the flooring specialists worked very quickly and efficiently to complete the project in minimal time with the least amount of disruption. Quality Carpet One people were very professional as they explained the varius options so that we could make a good decesion on the type of flooring best suited for our needs.

They do a great job at reasonable prices! I would recommend them for all your residential or commerical needs.
