Meet Charisse
Principal Broker | Co-Founder
(703) 402-2933
Licensed in Virginia, DC and Maryland
A native of McLean, Virginia, Charisse has been cultivating authentic professional and personal relationships throughout the Washington, DC area for 40+ years. Charisse’s active involvement in her church, children’s schools, philanthropic endeavors, and real estate background have rewarded her with unique and invaluable insight into the local community.
Charisse’s passion for real estate is innate, and her personal experience in property investment, residential design, and construction is extensive. She insists that strategy matters – employing creative, thoughtful approaches unique to each property and client. Charisse “never stops” when it comes to researching market trends, identifying a good investment or simply finding “the perfect home” for a dear friend.
Prior to her real estate career, Charisse worked in public relations at Hayes, Domenici and Nunn before being recruited to lead Washington Life Magazine, the D.C. Metro area's premier insider's guide to power, philanthropy, and society. As Editor-in-Chief, she was responsible for managing staff, marketing the publication, negotiating crucial advertising deals, connecting with local leaders and readers, and increased distribution and profitability during her tenure.
While her family may argue that her interest in local real estate is all-consuming, when she's not scouting residential properties, investment opportunities, or negotiating on behalf of her clients, Charisse pledges time to her children's schools, volunteering at church, fundraising for a favorite non-profit, dining out in the DMV or playing tennis with friends and family.
