Thu is an absolute treasure trove of knowledge when it comes to real estate and flipping homes. She will offer her honest suggestions and candid thoughts whenever you view a new home with her. Right off the bat, she can tell you what she would personally fix to not only improve quality of living but also increase the resell value of your home. What I really enjoyed about working with Thu is the fact that she never tried to put me onto a property for her benefit, never tried to get me to hurry and decide to close a deal quickly. Quite the contrary, Thu made sure a first time buyer like me was judicious with every decision I made and she ensured I had all of the information I needed to make the most informed decision. Thank you again Thu for the incredible work! I have and will continue to refer your name out to any buyers and sellers I know.

Thu is a great realtor who took the time to help me find a place to call home. She spent so much time during the week and on weekends to show me places. Thu was so knowledgeable about the housing market and she took the time to share her thoughts on places we looked at in Virginia. I was having such a hard time finding a place and Thu was the realtor that actually said she would find me a place. She did! I would recommend Thu Vu to anyone who was looking for help in finding a place in the DMV. Thank you so much for all the kindness you showed me and for taking the time to find me a great place to live!

Thu provided my first experience working with a realtor and I have her to thank for taking all the stress out of a typically very stressful process. From the first moment working with her, I could tell I was in the right hands. Her nearly 20 years of experience in the Arlington real estate market, relentless work ethic, kind and professional demeanor, and genuine inclination for my best interest was obvious from the start. Despite a challenging outlook in the rental market with diminished inventory and extensive demand, she fought tooth and nail to fulfill my wishes. She worked around the clock and made herself available at all hours, 7 days a week. It was clear to see that she was always thinking and working for her clients. With little knowledge of home construction or upkeep, I was in the dark from many hidden red flags to take note of when apartment searching. Thu was an invaluable resource in providing expert advice on all topics throughout my search and even still to this day! I will be recommending Thu to anyone I encounter who is looking for an agent and I look forward to working with her again in the future. Thank you, Thu!!

I was lucky enough to have Thu as my realtor to guide me through the purchase of my first home in 2021. I knew nothing about the process, but Thu always took the time to answer my questions and proactively provide me with information every step of the way regardless of how busy she was. It was a very intimidating process, especially with the market being so competitive, but I was able to find the perfect condo within my budget thanks to her. She always worked efficiently to make sure that we met deadlines and were in a competitive position. I appreciated that she was detail-oriented and transparent about pros & cons of a property so that I could take everything into consideration before making decisions. To me, that shows that she really cares about her clients and their needs rather than just trying to making a sale. I highly recommend Thu if you’re looking for a realtor! She was a delight to work with!

Thu is a consummate professional. She knows the in-and-outs of real estate, possesses in-depth knowledge of the NoVA market, and focuses entirely on her clients.
In my case, I no longer live in my condo in Clarendon. I reached out to Thu for help. The first thing she asked was, "Is this your forever home?" No. She advised that the best course of action would be to lease -- a source of passive income until I decide to sell.
The place had to be renovated. I wanted to do a quality job so my tenant would have a nice place to call home. Problem was, I didn't know where to begin. Thu gave me a list of vendors who provided quality materials that wouldn't break the bank. The result is a well-appointed apartment that I am very proud of.
Next came the marketing. This was all Thu. She hired a professional photographer who took very flattering pictures of the apartment, accentuating the best parts, like the new kitchen, the new bathroom, and the new floors. She wrote a short summary that hit on all the key features, and the result was a very attractive listing.
After just one day, several inquiries came in. More came in the next day. Thu wanted to list the apartment before Memorial Day weekend, and this she achieved, but not without sacrificing her evenings to make the deadline. That's dedication.
She scheduled showings for Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. It only took a few hours before I found the ideal lessee -- a young army officer whose next duty station is in the national capital region.
Now came the drudgery. Thu perused HOA documents to make sure the required agreements were signed. Next were the contracts. Thu made sure the lessee and I signed all contracts on the same day. And that's all it took -- one day. This is thanks in no small part to Thu doing the legwork beforehand to ensure that when the day came, all documents that needed to be signed were ready to be signed.
In addition to helping me, she also helped the lessee. He had many questions, as one would. Thu answered them openly and honestly. In the end, he was confident that he was headed into a good situation. I hope he likes the apartment and calls it home. (Thu also arranged space for his PODS container.)
Keep in mind that while Thu was doing all this for me, she has several other clients for whom she's doing the same thing, all while maintaining the same excellent quality of service.
I'm extremely thankful that Thu was my agent. She stood with me every step of the way, advised when I had questions, and reassured when I had doubts.
This wouldn't have been possible without her.
I highly recommend Thu. She's an honest and scrupulous person.

Thu Vu masterfully handled all of the many details involved in selling a condo that I co-owned. I could not have asked for a more supportive agent who understood that not everyone is happy to have to list a beloved home during trying times. She also understood that many details of the process were foreign to me and advised me well throughout the process. It’s fair to say that Thu went well above and beyond the call of duty during this sale, and I’ve witnessed her do so for another seller from the same condo community. I have no reservations recommending this smart, personable, talented realtor to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Thu is an awesome and extremely professional realtor. I had a really great experience with her and cannot recommend her high enough! She was very attentive to my search criteria and requirements, went out of her way to meet the needs of my schedule, and always felt that I was a number one priority on her clients list. She worked diligently to research the market, and when were were reviewing the places on site she always provided excellent commentary on the conditions of the place and possible gotchas. One of the most amazing things was that she not only listened carefully to my search and budget requirements, and showed me matching places, but she also used her deep real estate experience to give me crucial advice about the places we saw or were going to see, and even suggested a few places which I initially hadn't been considering; and the best thing is that I ended up moving into one of those places, and cannot be happier with it!

Thu is a great agent who always puts your interest first. I've been relocating from a foreign country with my family a couple of years ago and she helped us to find a nice condo very-very quick and for surprisingly reasonable price. A year later we were looking for an upgrade and she helped us again. She always was looking for the best for you. Highly recommend.

We wanted to move in under a month and with her vast knowledge of the industry, she made that happen. She joined us to all viewings and represented us by asking questions about things that we would have never thought of asking. We felt like we were in good hands which made the process stress free.
I very much recommend working with Ms. Vu and wish other professionals would learn from her exceptional customer service. A NOVA gem.

This year was the first time we used a Real Estate agent to help us find a fitting home to rent and we were kind of kicking ourselves for not doing this before. Thu Vu is truly a one of a kind professional who far exceeds the norm of competency. She has demonstrated her position in the top-shelf league of Real Estate agents once and again by covering all the bases we know about but also addressing the elements normal home seekers would have missed. This is what I look for in every establishment. Someone who truly cares about the client's welfare. Thu Vu managed a delicate situation that went south fast when the prospective landlord decided to change the lease 9 times. Yes, we signed the lease 9 times because the landlord and the property manager kept changing their minds and making errors on things like move in date, length of the lease, utility equipment liability, old wall paint, even monthly rent! We totally panicked and were geared towards the next best home on the list, but Thu got on the phone and visited with the manager stopping this nonsense. Our experience with signing the lease to rent this home could have been miserable if it wasn't for our real estate agent. She kept us calm, notified us of every move, always responded to us within minutes, and brought us progress. Being a Northern Virginia Agent for over a decade, she has negotiated with pretty much all major players and agencies in the area, giving her an advantage on achieving the desired terms and price for her clients, which is what she did for us.

I had a Condo in Arlington and I lived in Florida. My tenant was moving out so I had to find another renter or sell. No matter my decision, the Condo needed work. That is where Thu came in. The kitchen needed remoldeling, painting, work on the bathroom. Thu knew all the people I needed to get my Condo in good shape. From people in granite for the kitchen to painters and hardwood floor people. Without ever worrying about it Thu put everything together. My Condo was perfect, it looked great. We tried renting it but that didn't work out so I put it up for sell. Thu was all over this. In no time at all it was sold, at the price she set. Her making money is not her thing. She had a job to do and she put in more time then anybody I have ever worked with. Working on my place doing what she had to do was amazing. I never met a real estate person with the drive, professionalism than Thu. I would recommend Thu to anybody that wants an honest hard-working woman to do the best job. She is a great person.

Thu is the best realtor I have ever worked with! She helped me to purchase my first home. She was very patient and listened to all of my concerns about one of the biggest purchases of my life. She was able to find the perfect home for me and my family. I would recommend her to anyone!

My family has worked with Thu on several occasions. We used her and will be using her again to help find tenants for our rental. The youngsters in the family have used her to purchase their first homes. We’ve also referred her to friends who had questions on potentially buying and real estate market trends. She’s very knowledgeable and always very proactive in sharing information and resources, communicating what’s going on and what needs to be done, and following up. And she’s very personable which makes her easy to work with. I definitely would recommend her because of her professionalism and responsiveness and she will look after your bests interests at all times.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for helping us find a place for my son. He enjoyed working with you and we appreciate your assistance in getting everything finalized. After the apartment flooding, the 2 MONTHS in the hotel, dealing with the previous apartment manager, his insurance company, and TRYING to find a roommate and/or apartment, we were all at wit’s end. Thank goodness you found that condo; and it’s RIGHT NEXT DOOR to his work!

Thu is a fantastic agent. We had a very specific set of requirements for our home but Thu scoured all the listings and managed to find more than one that would work for us. When the transaction proved more difficult than most, she navigated the sticky parts beautifully. She helped us when we first moved to the area and we were so happy with her work that we went back to her two years later when we had to move again. I have no doubt I will look to her again when we have to move next.

My husband and I were very happy to have Thu as our agent. We were in the middle of a big reno of our condo and wanted to list the property so we could have a renter as soon as the repairs were completed. We contacted Thu Vu and she was on it immediately! She came to look at the unit, gave suggestions and prepared flyers for the area. She kept us abreast of everything that was going on, and her strong advertising skills drew many interested clients and we received a qualified candidate within our needed timeline. We definitely could not have done this and received a great rental price and excellent tenant without Thu.

Working with Thu was amazing guide in our home buying journey! Her deep knowledge of the local market and attention to detail helped us find the perfect house within our budget. She was always one step ahead - sending us listings that matched our criteria before they hit the market, pointing out potential issues we might have missed during viewings, and expertly negotiating on our behalf. What truly sets Thu apart is her responsiveness and genuine care for her clients. She answered our texts and calls promptly, even during evenings and weekends, and patiently explained every step of the process. When unexpected challenges arose during closing (for multiple properties), she advised us about our options and found solutions to keep everything on track. She recommended very competent people to work with as well (inspector, title attorney, etc.). Thanks to Thu's expertise and dedication, we're now proud homeowners in Northern Virginia! I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

About Thu Vu
I grew up in Arlington, Virginia in a large entrepreneurial family. I attended the McIntire School of Commerce at the University of Virginia. My passion for all things real estate started early in my teens when my father owned a real estate brokerage and continues to this day, 20+ years later.I see real estate as two sides of the same coin as both a challenge and a reward. There are no two deals that are alike. For sellers, I find ways to best highlight and market their home to net them the most money. For buyers, I find a home that most matches their wants, needs and desires and negotiate the best deal. For investors, I help maximize their return on investment. Moreover, I continually strive to stay on top of training, technology, education, and development.
My biggest joy and work is my son. My hobbies include reading, theater, volunteer work, volleyball and football.
