About Josette Skilling, Realtor in Bethesda
I’m Josette Skilling, a full time, effective real estate consultant focused on delivering results and outstanding service for those buying or selling homes or condos in the Montgomery County area. I am a proud member of the Maryland Association of Realtors, The Greater Capital Area Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors. This comment captures what I strive for every day:
The difference between Realtors was like night and day…
~Jeanne Reedy, walking out of a successful settlement after her home failed to sell the first time
I’m a long time Maryland resident and I work mostly in Montgomery County and DC. A lot of my work is in Bethesda, Silver Spring, Chevy Chase and Kensington. Bethesda Naval Hospital is a prime spot for relocating military families or civilians with jobs at that facility and as such the areas surrounding it have much to offer.
For those of you who know me, you know I’m a straight shooter and don’t sugar coat the advice and news you are getting. I understand that buying or selling a home is stressful; after all, it is the biggest financial transaction most of us make in our lives. But it’s important to have a little fun along the way and being fully informed and comfortable with your decisions will make your transaction an enjoyable one. Nothing is more satisfying for me than for you to realize your dreams and that is why I enjoy the heck out of every day..
My passion is talking about real estate, whether it’s for your home today or in the coming year or two. Many of you say you don’t want to bother me too early in the process but believe me it’s no bother. In fact calling me early can save you time and money by helping you make the right choices all along the way. Starting early is a great thing and you will not be wasting my time! Many of my clients have plans one or two years out but they are making changes now based on our early start to their future.
I find that my primary job is to listen. In listening I find out what my clients need and can help them make good decisions to get to their goals, whether in Bethesda or other parts of Montgomery County. It’s not about me at all or what I’ve done in the past, what my clients really want is to get their problems solved! Knowing the market well and being able to handle the analysis of local data really let me give my clients enough information so they price well.
More than anything else I do, this is the critical step that allows all the rest of the marketing efforts to be succesful for the sale of real estate in Bethesda. So I can never overstate the importance of helping people make good decisions about the most important financial transactions of their lives.
In our current real estate market it’s imperative for sellers to understand that while it’s always about location, location, location now it’s really about condition, condition, condition in almost an equal portion. With literally hundreds of choices buyers need to have your property on their #1,2, or 3 best list. And to get there it takes a team effort. When sellers do their part to clean, repair, neutralize and present their property they set the stage for me to be successful at marketing to a very broad range of buyers from print advertising to a heavy Internet presence. A home that is presented beautifully in photographs and visual tours invites buyers in!

My goal is for you to trust and appreciate my real estate advice and actions so much that I’ll earn your referrals for those you know planning to buy or sell a home in the Bethesda, Potomac, Chevy Chase, Silver Spring or Kensington area, again and again – not out of obligation, but because you truly believe your family, friends, co-workers and neighbors will benefit greatly by working with me.
While my philosophy is not common in our industry, it enables me to work to my high standards and create an environment of trust, and frankly it’s the way I’d wish to be treated myself. It makes every day a pleasure to go to work, but don’t take my word for it, here’s what a few of my recent clients have to say about how I helped them…
