Welcome to 5 Elements Real Estate Advisors

5 Elements, in Asian culture, represents earth, wood, water, fire and gold. In real estate, I translate into location, design, structure, technology and people. The first four elements contribute to the real property, but the key is the “people”. My philosophy is simple: it’s all about people. I always put my clients best interest first and provide exceptional services whether they are buying or selling, renovating or building a home. I thrive to be their life time real estate advisor.

Great agent! Professional and responsible! My wife and I have bought two homes through Fenny and we really appreciate her service.

I worked with Fenny for my first home in Nov. 2018. She’s very nice, responsive, and professional! She replied to my texts or answered my phone calls almost immediately and answered all my questions. When it was close to the closing date, she also provided some tips to clean the house and keep it last longer! I strongly recommend her!

only with your help and support that I have been able to manage all the condo transitions, which tend to get a bit stressful when I am located so far away. My parents are also blown away by your professionalism, knowledge and attention to your clients. You are amazing! A million thanks to you – you are a rockstar!

Inara

It was such a great experience to work with Fenny who listed my house and then sold it in …just a few days! She is very professional, highly responsible, and always kept everything well planned and organized. She did great market analysis and also gave us a lot of useful advice.

She is the best person and realtor ever! My husband and I think that we were so lucky to work with her and love this new house! When somebody who I know looks for their new place, I‘ll highly recommend her to them. Thank you so much, Fenny!!!

hjlzwoelf12Buyer in Fair Lakes, Fairfax VA

I found Fenny last year through Google search and started working with her to purchase my first home. She’s very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole process. Me and my husband didn’t know much about the housing market in northern Virginia. She’s very honest and wouldn’t force us to buy anything quickly so that she can close a deal.

I was incredibly fortunate to work with Fenny, a fantastic and seasoned realtor! Working with Fenny was a joy and with her guiding me through the entire process of selling my home, I felt completely at ease. Her thoroughness of resolving any concerns or issues were beyond what I expected. Her capability and excellent service was truly outstanding. Everything she recommended was right on point. Fenny is an amazing person and I am grateful to have worked with her. She deserves five stars and much more!

Fenny did a great job helping us find the condos we like very much with her excellent geographic knowledge and negotiation skills. She is very friendly, patient, and professional. With her help, we sold one single house and bought two condos this year.

liuernest

If you need a realtor who protects your interests, is masterful at negotiations, Fenny is who you need. Not only is she knowledgeable about real estate trends, she is also mechanically minded in her approach to protecting your real estate investment property. She applies herself to the transaction as if it were her own, and she helped me with home inspection negotiations in such a creative manner that was a win-win for both parties!

M.JingSold a Townhouse in Burke

Fenny is definitely a realtor you want to work with. She is really patient and professional. She helps us buy a condo at a pretty low price which received 8 offers on its releasing day. We are more than thankful for her service.

frpweikingBuyer of SFH in Ballston, Arlington VA

Fenny, we have so much respect for your professionalism, communication, customer service, integrity, diligence, advocacy, perspective and knowledge. You routinely go above and beyond, and it has been a pleasure to work with you in each of our (many!) interactions. This is why we are so happy to recommend you to any friends/colleagues, because we have complete confidence that they will have a memorably positive experience.

Shankar

enny was an extraordinary agent! Competent, personable, professional throughout the entire process! Her tactful suggestions and her ability to project manage preparation of the house for sale were especially effective. I wish I had another house to sell to have the joy of working with Fenny again! Thank you so much for helping us, Fenny!

Hyunju Jane

Fenny Hurwitz is an exceptional agent. Fenny looks out for the best interests of her clients on projects big and small. She uses her deep knowledge and experience in serving her clients with the utmost care, constant discretion, and personalized attention. She is responsive, reliable, and professional. We have worked with Fenny and also recommended her to our friends and colleagues for both residential transactions and investment opportunities.

Esther L.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Fenny as our property buyer agent, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From our very first conversation, she took the time to understand our 5-year plan and carefully analyzed the best options based on our specific requests and needs. This personalized approach set the tone for the exceptional service we received throughout the entire process...

  • "What happens if buyers decide NOT to work with an agent?" It’s a question we hear often, but the reality is—it’s very uncommon.

💡 Why? In highly competitive markets like the DC metro area, having an agent is almost essential. In fact, a 2023 survey by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) found that 88% of home purchases were made with the help of a real estate agent or broker.

Without an agent, buyers face major challenges, like:
🏡  Scheduling showings.
🏡  Writing competitive offers.
🏡  Connecting with reliable loan officers.

An experienced agent streamlines the entire process, helping buyers navigate contracts, negotiations, and other complexities—especially in a fast-moving market.
  • Earlier this month, we shared that the National Association of Realtors (NAR) implemented new real estate commission rules in 2024 that affect how agents are paid.

Naturally, this prompts many questions about how these changes may affect home prices and affordability, especially for first-time buyers, in 2025.

💬 What are your thoughts on these new rules?
