Judy’s inclusion underscores his reputation for client service, market knowledge, and professional performance.
With more than 900 completed transactions and $1.17 billion in lifetime sales, Judy has established himself as a leading real estate agent in Washington, DC.

His career includes work with historic rowhouses, downtown condos, investment properties, and long-held family homes, giving him a comprehensive understanding of the local market.
Washingtonian’s ‘100 Best Agents’ distinction is awarded to real estate professionals who demonstrate strong client service and market expertise. The Elite Producers Platinum designation reflects Judy’s sustained sales production in one of the region’s most competitive markets. This is not the first time Judy has been recognized; he has also been ranked #2 Agent in Washington, DC by RealTrends 2026 and named to the Washington Business Journal’s list of leading DMV producers.
Judy’s approach to real estate is characterized by direct communication and honest advice.

The current Washington, DC housing market presents a mixed picture. According to recent data, the median sale price is approximately $695,000, down 0.77% year over year, while homes spend a median of 49 days on the market. Sales activity has increased by 7.9% from the previous year, with 1,839 homes sold in the latest reporting period. Homes are closing for an average of 99% of their asking price, and about 26.6% sell above list price. However, 31.2% of listings experience a price reduction, indicating that buyers remain selective and pricing is crucial.
For buyers, the current market may offer more time to evaluate properties, but correctly priced homes in sought-after neighborhoods can still attract competition. Sellers should not assume multiple offers and should base their strategy on neighborhood-level sales data. Judy’s expertise in this environment is valuable, as he helps clients navigate these nuances.
Based at Washington Fine Properties’ Logan Circle office, Judy serves clients across Washington, DC, Northern Virginia, and Montgomery County. His experience spans residential properties, historic homes, condominiums, and investment purchases. He combines detailed market analysis with a focus on long-term implications, helping clients make informed decisions.
Judy’s recognition by Washingtonian, along with other industry honors, highlights his continued excellence in a competitive market. As the DC real estate landscape evolves, his track record and client-centered approach position him as a trusted advisor for buyers and sellers alike.
