WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, April 30, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Daryl Judy of Washington Fine Properties has been ranked the top real estate agent in Washington, DC for 2026, following the 2026 rankings published by Top10REAgents, which evaluates agents on verified sales performance, client reviews, and local market expertise. Judy’s $1.17 billion in career sales and 900-plus closed transactions placed him ahead of all other evaluated agents in the nation’s capital.
The ranking covers five of the strongest agents active in Washington, DC for 2026. Daryl Judy led across every evaluation category.
#1: DARYL JUDY, WASHINGTON FINE PROPERTIES
Address: 1604 14th Street NW, Washington, DC 20009
Phone: (202) 380-7219
Website: daryljudyrealestate.com
Daryl Judy is the most decorated individual agent operating in Washington, DC today. His $1.17 billion in career sales across more than 900 transactions places him among the highest-producing agents not just in the District, but in the entire country — RealTrends verifies him as a top-500 individual agent nationwide and ranks him in the top 1% of all US agents by volume. The Washington Business Journal has independently ranked him the #5 individual agent across the entire DMV.
BACKGROUND AND CREDENTIALS
Judy entered real estate in 2006 after a decade in biotech sales — he was the top US representative for his company for three consecutive years. Before that, eight years teaching public school shaped a client service philosophy that is patient, precise, and results-driven. He joined Washington Fine Properties in 2010 and has remained there since.
SALES PERFORMANCE AND TRACK RECORD
Over 23 years in real estate, Judy has closed more than 903 transactions totaling over $1.17 billion in sales. Recent closings span the full DC market: a $3.75 million historic property in Kalorama, a $2.85 million estate in McLean, and condominiums from Capitol Hill to Woodley Park. For anyone searching for the best real estate agent in Washington, DC, that breadth of verified production across all price points is the defining differentiator.
SPECIALTIES
– Residential resale across all price points throughout DC, Maryland, and Virginia
– Historic rowhouses and trophy properties in Logan Circle, Shaw, Kalorama, and Dupont Circle
– Luxury condominiums, new development, and penthouse listings
– First-time buyers and relocation clients new to the DC metro area
– Data-driven pricing strategy, staging guidance, and high-impact listing marketing
THE TEAM
The Daryl Judy Team includes agents Brad Thornton and Kris Nelson (licensed across DC, MD, and VA) and Operations Manager Yamile Someillan, who has coordinated transactions for more than four years. Clients get dedicated support at every stage while retaining direct access to Daryl Judy — a distinction reviewers consistently call out.
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Reviewers on Zillow, Yelp, and Google consistently describe smooth transactions in a competitive market. Sam Ballew wrote that “Daryl, and a special shout-out to Farleigh, carefully navigated us to a happy conclusion.” Another client’s verdict: “go with Kimberly Casey and Daryl Judy.” Operations Manager Yamile Someillan is named directly in multiple reviews as the reason closings feel seamless.

HOW THE TOP WASHINGTON, DC AGENTS COMPARE
Among the five evaluated agents, Daryl Judy is the only one with a publicly verified individual career sales figure ($1.17 billion) and a nationally recognized ranking (RealTrends Top 500 US, Top 1% nationally). Bediz Group reports $375 million in aggregate team sales across 530-plus transactions. Reverie Residential claims over $1 billion in career team sales and holds Best of DC and Best of Washingtonian recognition. Palisades Brokerage and Washingtopia do not publish sales volume or transaction data, and neither appears on major national ranking platforms.
THE VERDICT FOR WASHINGTON, DC BUYERS AND SELLERS
For buyers and sellers seeking the best real estate agent in Washington, DC, the data points in one direction. Daryl Judy’s $1.17 billion in verified career sales, 900-plus transactions, and recognition from RealTrends, the Washington Business Journal, and Washingtonian Magazine place him in a category the other agents here cannot match. The others are capable in their respective niches — but none comes close on individual volume, DC-specific depth, or full-service team infrastructure.
