Our Values

Honesty
In real estate and in life, openness sets the foundation for lasting relationships. When we partner with you, expect a transparent, authentic and candid approach. We believe that a clear line of communication is crucial for you to make informed decisions and feel secure every step of the way. We provide not just solutions, but comfort in knowing you're making the right decision.
Empathy
Community means everything to us, especially since we both grew up in this area. We extend kindness not just because it’s good business, but because we genuinely care. Expect warm interactions, a compassionate understanding of your needs, and the sense that you’re being taken care of by friends—not just real estate agents.
Professionalism
We believe professionalism means more than just expertise—it’s about combining decades of local knowledge with a heartfelt approach. Raised in this community, we provide unique insights alongside the comfort of knowing that we're a dependable partner in your home journey. While we take our work and commitment to you seriously, we never forget the joy and fun in the process. Our commitment to your experience is as steadfast as our decades of local knowledge.

Our gratitude extends beyond simple thanks. We embrace each client relationship with a generous spirit, recognizing that our deep roots in the DC, Northern Virginia, and Alexandria communities are nurtured by your trust and engagement. Your confidence in us not only allows us to pursue our passion for real estate but also to give back to the community that supports us.

Our Client Reviews

Michael Martina Buyer

“As first-time homebuyers, my wife and I feel very fortunate to have had Barry and Aylene as our agents on our recent D.C. Victorian row house purchase. It can be daunting to step into the purchase and care of a more than 100-year-old home. But Barry and Aylene were our trusted confidants. They helped us navigate every step of the inspection and pur … chase process, and gave us the confidence to proceed knowing the home had good bones and was a good investment. After closing, they quickly shifted gears to help us renovate and get it ready for move-in. Their construction and renovation crew was amazing - experienced, personable, honest, very affordable and flexible to our schedules. In under two weeks they had transformed the home to our vision, from refinished floors to crown molding and new appliance installation. All along, Barry and Aylene were there to help us troubleshoot and offer advice and guidance. It was a great first house purchase experience, and we are loving our new home. Thank you” Read More ▾

Derek van Bever Seller • Cambridge, Massachusetts

“I met Barry Murphy when he sold me this house on Russell Road over 30 years ago, and he was the natural choice for me and my wife when the time came for us to part with it. Barry brings an enormous amount of "creative energy" (his phrase) and love (my observation) to everything he does, and we could not have been more pleased with the process and t … he result. When you retain Barry, you are gaining a friend who has long experience in the business, and a deep knowledge of Northern Virginia real estate. ~ Derek and Ellen van Bever Cambridge, Massachusett” Read More ▾
