How the Mid-Atlantic’s Best Are Chosen

The Ellies are earned, never nominated. Every name on this page ranked among Douglas Elliman’s leaders in verified 2025 performance, measured across closed sales, rentals, commercial deals, total volume and gross commission income. Forty-one agents and teams across the Mid-Atlantic made the list, along with the region’s Rookie of the Year.

The best real estate agents in Washington, DC, Maryland and Virginia work from Georgetown, North Bethesda, McLean and Richmond, from federal-period townhouses to new construction along the Potomac. Local expertise, entrepreneurial drive and a record to show for it.
