Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions you'll make, and we couldn't have asked for a better buyer's agent than Piers with the Bocock Team of Compass. From the moment we met him, we were struck by his warmth, authenticity, and genuine desire to understand exactly what we were looking for. We had a long list of very specific requirements—a particular neighborhood with notoriously limited inventory, a defined timeline, a budget, and plenty of "must-haves" and "nice-to-haves." Before long, Piers knew our preferences so well that he could often anticipate what we would like (or dislike) about a property before we even said anything. Throughout the process, he was incredibly patient. We asked what felt like a million questions, and he never once made us feel rushed or pressured. Instead, he took the time to explain everything, calm our nerves, and help us organize our scattered thoughts…

Before long, Piers knew our preferences so well that he could often anticipate what we would like (or dislike) about a property before we even said anything. Throughout the process, he was incredibly patient. We asked what felt like a million questions, and he never once made us feel rushed or pressured. Instead, he took the time to explain everything, calm our nerves, and help us organize our scattered thoughts into confident decisions. He was kind, honest, and realistic—qualities that made us trust his guidance every step of the way. Thanks to his dedication, creativity, and excellent advice, we found a home that checked the vast majority of our boxes in a very competitive market. Once we were under contract, the buying process felt smooth because Piers was always available to answer questions, advocate for us, and continue providing thoughtful guidance. As an added bonus, our children absolutely adored him. They would get excited every time we were headed out to tour homes with Piers, which made what can often be a stressful experience genuinely enjoyable for our whole family. We wholeheartedly recommend Piers to anyone looking to buy a home. He's knowledgeable, compassionate, patient, and truly invested in helping his clients find the right home—not just any home.
We are so glad we had Piers and Katie as our buyer's agents for our first time homebuying experience! They helped us navigate a competitive market with kindness, patience, and excellent communication throughout the whole process. Thanks to Piers and Katie, we found our perfect first home. We have no doubt that their insider knowledge of the Takoma Park real estate scene played a major role in ultimately getting our offer accepted. They listened to us and were patient with us and our (many) criteria. We never felt pressured. Most importantly, Katie and Piers are fun, kind, and a joy to work with! We highly recommend this team!
Piers and Katie are real rockstars! They are absolutely a superior realty team. In addition, they are amazing neighbors. This realty team has a wealth of knowledge and resources for the clients they serve. I live in North Carolina and was recently tasked with selling my family home in Takoma Park, Maryland after my father passed. Without asking, Piers and Katie took the responsibility of keeping the outside of the house maintained. This awesome team became my realtor and my family. They have great communication skills and empathy.
We couldn’t have been happier in our experience of buying a house with Piers and Katie as our agents. What a team! Friendly and professional, patient, generous with their time, deeply knowledgeable about the local market and area, wonderful in their communication with us throughout our search and then in managing all the steps through to closing—and beyond. I’m sure we came across as a bit “Goldilocks” at first – this house too big, this too small, this one too far out, this one too close in, etc. – but they listened closely, never pressured, and soon guided us to just the right set of possibilities. No other agent could possibly match the familiarity with Takoma Park, Silver Spring, and nearby areas that their decades of living and working there have garnered. They made us feel so welcomed and oriented into the community, and had multiple recommendations for the many services that movin…

They made us feel so welcomed and oriented into the community, and had multiple recommendations for the many services that moving into a new home and town entails. Most of all, they are just really special people, and it’s a delight working with them. I should add that we were conducting our search from four states away, only coming up every other weekend. And that required extra organization and communication, and they pulled it off without a hitch. We felt absolutely confident in their guidance from the word go, and that never faltered. And even now that we’ve bought a house, they continue to provide invaluable advice and recommendations, and make us feel we have made a lasting connection. If you’re moving to the Takoma Park/ Silver Spring area, this is definitely the team for you.
