A Legacy Home, Ready for Its Next Chapter.

6 BD | 6 BA | 5,142 SQ.FT.

One in a million, indeed! It was an absolute honor to represent the sale of this extraordinary Tudor Revival home, which has been in the same family for generations. With nearly a full acre of land in one of Bethesda’s most desirable locations, this property offered a rare blend of history, character, and potential. Originally built by Frances Hopkins—of the Johns Hopkins family—in collaboration with architect Robert F. Beresford, 7611 Fairfax has long stood as a pillar of timeless elegance. From its grand entertaining spaces centered around beautiful fireplaces to the separate two-story cottage originally used as stables and driver's quarters, every inch of the home told a story. Over the decades, this home has been the backdrop for countless gatherings, celebrations, and cherished memories. Now, it passes to new owners who are eager to write the next chapter—taking full advantage of the sweeping lawn and iconic setting, all just minutes from the heart of downtown Bethesda. It was a privilege to be part of this meaningful transition. Homes like this don’t come around often—and this one will forever remain a special piece of local history.

This one was a showstopper- and a record-breaker.

5 BD | 4 BA | 4,049 SQ.FT.

With impeccable design choices and a full-scale renovation by Cabin John Builders, this home looked straight out of a Serena & Lily catalog. From the La Cornue range to the custom wine vault, every detail was thoughtful, elevated, and perfectly executed. We knew this home wouldn’t be for everyone- it needed a buyer who could appreciate its beauty, functionality, and the lifestyle it offers. So we treated the launch accordingly, investing in prep, pricing strategy, and marketing that matched the caliber of the home. The result? A record-breaking sale at over $1,000 per square foot- and a seamless transition for our sellers into their next chapter. Grateful to have helped tell the story of this one. It was a dream- and now, it’s someone else’s.

Where Luxury, Legacy, and Lifestyle Meet.

6 BD | 7 BA | 5,982 SQ.FT.

We were thrilled to help write the next chapter for this extraordinary home in the heart of Kenwood. Rich with modern upgrades and timeless design, this home offered an unmatched blend of luxury, space, and location—and buyers took notice. Previously owned by NHL star John Carlson during the Capitals' unforgettable Stanley Cup win, this home already had a story worth celebrating. Meticulously renovated and expanded in 2015 by Alan Adler of Arbor Homes and designed by GTM Architects, the property stood out with its thoughtful layout, entertainer’s dream basement, and backyard oasis featuring a heated in-ground pool. From its welcoming chef’s kitchen and flexible floor plan to the dedicated movie room, sauna, and two laundry rooms, every detail had been crafted for comfort and style. And the location? Simply unbeatable—set on one of Kenwood’s iconic cherry blossom-lined streets, just steps from the Capital Crescent Trail and minutes from downtown Bethesda. The new owners fell in love with the unique combination of historic charm, modern amenities, and vibrant community life. We're so honored to have represented this remarkable sale in one of the most beloved neighborhoods in the DC area.

A Hidden Oasis in the Heart of Kent.

5 BD | 5 BA | 4,625 SQ.FT.

It was love at first sight for the new owners of this exceptional brick colonial in Kent. Nestled on a beautifully landscaped .38-acre corner lot, this home captivated with its lush gardens, private koi pond, and heated pool—an entertainer’s dream, inside and out. From the moment you step through the Chicago brick-accented hallways to the light-filled living and dining rooms that open seamlessly to the backyard oasis, it’s clear this home is something special. Every detail—from the marble-appointed primary suite to the versatile attic retreat and the cozy lower-level playroom—offered comfort, charm, and flexibility. Just one mile from MacArthur Blvd’s beloved shops and restaurants and within easy reach of local parks and trails, the location combined suburban serenity with urban convenience. The new buyers were instantly drawn to the sense of retreat this home offers, all while staying connected to the best of Northwest DC. It was an honor to help our clients find the perfect match for this remarkable property—one where countless memories are ready to be made.

Classic Chevy Chase Charm with Modern Comforts.

6 BD | 7 BA | 5,623 SQ.FT.

The sale of 6410 Shadow Road was a seamless match between timeless design and discerning buyers seeking both style and substance. Nestled on a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of Chevy Chase, this classic home offered the perfect blend of charm, space, and location. From the moment it hit the market, interest was strong. Buyers were immediately drawn to the beautifully landscaped lot, thoughtful layout, and inviting living spaces that transitioned effortlessly from formal to casual. Whether it was the warmth of the fireplace, the sun-drenched kitchen, or the quiet elegance of the backyard, each space spoke to the lifestyle today’s buyers crave. The home’s proximity to downtown Bethesda, top-rated schools, neighborhood parks, and major commuter routes made it even more desirable. After years of being lovingly maintained, 6410 Shadow Road was ready for new owners to make it their own—and they couldn’t be more excited to continue its legacy. It was a pleasure to represent this sale and help usher in the next chapter for such a special Chevy Chase home.

A Showstopper Sale, Strategically Done

6 BD | 9 BA | 8,185 SQ.FT.

This sale was all about helping our clients move into their next chapter. After raising their family in this home, they had just finished building a stunning new modern property nearby. It was time to let go of this one, and they wanted to do it right. The house had a serious wow factor. One of the most beautiful backyard setups we’ve ever seen, with a pool, hot tub, lush entertaining space, and even an indoor lap pool. But there were two other homes for sale on the same street. One was brand new construction. The other was larger. We knew our listing needed to stand out. So we focused on strategy. We advised on high-impact updates, brought in a trusted contractor, and partnered with a stager who made the home shine. Once the prep work was done, we launched with a broker preview and postcard campaign to target local buyers. We started at $3.2M and gave it time to find the right audience. After a couple of months, we recommended adjusting to $3M to hit a key search bracket and open up new eyes. That move worked. We drew in a fresh wave of buyers and received a strong offer. The home sold for $3.09M. This was a great example of how smart prep, strategic pricing, and client trust lead to results.

Historic Charm, Record-Setting Results.

3 BD | 3 BA | 1,764 SQ.FT.

This one meant a lot. These clients are not just longtime supporters, but great friends. We helped them buy this beautifully renovated home four years ago, and when they decided to move to the West Coast, they came to us to help close this chapter. The home was truly special. A perfect blend of historic charm and thoughtful upgrades, with stained glass, a gas lantern, and flawless craftsmanship throughout. It was one of the most beautiful homes of its size in the neighborhood, which presented a unique challenge — it needed the right buyer, not just any buyer. We worked closely with our clients and stagers to refine the presentation, blending their existing furniture with carefully selected pieces. We hosted a pricing tour with top local buyer agents to get market feedback, launched privately within our network, and used every tool in our playbook to create momentum. That prep paid off. We went live, and within one day, the perfect buyer stepped forward with an offer at full asking price. It was by no coincidence - we had gotten this buyer in front of the property with our pre-launch marketing and that allowed them to get excited pre-launch. Not only did we close $100K above their original purchase, we also set a record price per square foot for Logan, Shaw, and the U Street Corridor at the time. Grateful to help these friends wrap up their DC chapter with a win. Onto the next adventure.

Classic Charm Meets Prime Location in Friendship Heights.

4 BD | 5 BA | 3,636 SQ.FT.

4839 Western Ave NW, Washington, DC 20016 was a charming and well-maintained home just steps from the heart of Friendship Heights. With four bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, and a thoughtfully updated interior, the property offered a perfect blend of character and functionality. The sellers were identified through our Likely to Sell tools, and after consistent follow-up, we guided them through the listing process—from staging and prep to marketing and showings. The home generated strong interest immediately, with over 60 inquiries and multiple private showings within the first few days. After the first weekend on the market, we received several offers and secured a quick, smooth sale. The success of this listing strengthened our relationship with the sellers and led to additional referral opportunities in the neighborhood.

Historic Elegance. Modern Living. Sold in Logan Circle.

3 BD | 3 BA | 2,500 SQ.FT.

1337 Vermont Avenue NW was a striking Victorian rowhome located on one of Logan Circle’s most iconic, tree-lined streets. Blending historic architecture with tasteful modern updates, the home featured multiple living spaces, high ceilings, and a private outdoor area—making it especially appealing to buyers looking for charm and functionality in the heart of the city. The sellers, who had owned the property for several years, were referred to us through a past client and were ready to make their next move. We partnered closely with them on pre-listing strategy, including light updates, staging, and custom marketing designed to highlight the home’s unique character and prime location. Interest was high from the start, with strong showing activity and positive feedback. After receiving multiple offers, we negotiated favorable terms and successfully closed with minimal time on market. This sale was a standout example of how thoughtful presentation and strategic pricing can deliver top results in a competitive urban market.

Success Isn’t Always Fast—It’s Earned.

2 BD | 3 BA | 1,426 SQ.FT.

Selling a home does not always lead to a return big return on investment and a highlight reel huge win. Our sellers purchased the condo during COVID to be closer to family and loved the first-floor walkout with no need for a lobby or elevator. At the time, it felt like the perfect fit. But a few years later, life changed. They weren’t using the place as much, and it was time to sell. Buyer sentiment had shifted. What was once a huge selling point became a sticking point. First-floor units weren’t getting the same attention. On top of that, we were competing against newer construction, resale units in the same building, and the fading appeal of “brand new” that comes with any resale. We listed. We adjusted. We pulled the listing, restaged the unit, relaunched with fresh photos, and gave it everything we had. It took 9 months and 26 days. We dropped the price from $1.15M to $925K. And ultimately, we got it done. Launching before a listing is truly market-ready can set you back if you are not as a desirable product. Our clients originally wanted to list with their furniture and hang onto the unit a bit longer. In hindsight, we wish we had pushed harder to wait until it could show at its best. We’re grateful for our clients’ trust and patience. Not every listing is a fast success story, but every one is a chance to maximize every detail we can to get as close to our clients goals as we can.

Success Stories

As first-time home buyers, we greatly benefited from Jack Shorb’s expertise in the home buying process and deep knowledge of the DC market. He was incredibly helpful in getting our “ducks in a row” for the purchase and was always flexible when scheduling tours across multiple neighborhoods. When we finally found “the one,” even in a competitive situation, Jack advised us on negotiations that helped us beat out more than four other offers. Since closing, all of his recommended contractors have been fantastic. We can’t recommend The Shorb Team enough!

Madeline Freed

As first time sellers, we had such a positive experience working with Jack to sell our home in DC. Jack could not have been more helpful -- he was highly responsive to all of our questions about the local market, showed a keen attention to … More

Lily Bou

Jack’s knowledge and experience were invaluable in navigating a complex home purchase. We faced a few unexpected challenges along the way, and Jack remained patient, professional, and supportive at every turn. I would recommend him to anyone relocating to the area. I love our new home and am grateful for all that Jack did to help us secure it.

Room2Bloom

Jack and Justin were incredible to work with! We felt like they listened to every bit of information that we shared about what we were looking for in a home, and they delivered! They always looked out for our best interests and made buying a home feel seamless. We had a specific area that we were searching, and with the efforts of Jack and Justin we were lucky to find a home that wasn’t on the market! If you are looking to purchase a home in the DC Metro area, and don’t know where to get started, you should seriously consider connecting with Jack and his team.

Jack Carpenter

Highly recommend working with the Shorb Team! Jack and team were wonderful at guiding me through purchasing my first home and were very patient at walking me through each step of the process from looking at places to closing.

Kelsey Quackenbush

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Ellie Shorb as we purchased our first home. She was incredibly thoughtful and responsive to our needs. She was extremely supportive and went out of her way to listen to our wants and needs. We never in anyway felt pressured or rushed in the process. Ellie went out of her way to ensure we felt fully informed and comfortable before making any decisions. She made the entire experience enjoyable and continues to support and help us as we settle into our new home. We can not say enough wonderful things about Ellie and our experience!

Carla Marie Vizzini Burt

We can’t say enough good things about our experience working with Ellie Shorb! When we decided to purchase an investment property that was too good to pass up, we realized we needed help. From the day we contacted her, Ellie was fully on board, bringing her enthusiasm and positive energy with every interaction, and keeping everything moving smoothly. From advice on our offer and assistance facilitating price negotiations, through arranging for money back from the seller for issues identified during inspection, she provided full support (even while she was on vacation)! Having her on our side was an immense help as we navigated the inevitable bumps in the road associated with purchasing a property, and it allowed us to keep a positive attitude as well. We are very happy with our new purchase, as well as our buying experience, and highly recommend Ellie and her Team!

Tracy Lang

Ellie Shorb is the ultimate real estate professional, and she has a great team and more broadly has great support from Compass. Ellie and her team developed a game plan which we approved and made adjustments to reflect market dynamics. Extremely knowledgeable about our area, extensive contacts in the industry and a stickler for all relevant details. Highly ethical, very personable, able to identify a wide range of service providers if needed, available nearly 24/7 regardless of whether she was in town or not — Ellie Shorb and team did an outstanding job.

Terence Stewart

Ellie Shorb has the best combination of attributes to help her clients with a successful real estate transaction: experience with both buyers and sellers, a contact list a yard long to help get things done, a sense of humor and common sense to solve problems, and communication skills to help with marketing, negotiations and problem solving. Ellie is a kind and fun person—so easy to work with. So much so, I chose Ellie to help me sell my house and then buy another one! And if I had to do it over, I’d call her and her team again.

Moira Schoen

We can’t imagine a better team to work with than Jack and Ellie! They came highly recommended to us when we set out to buy our first home, and their service exceeded our expectations. Jack was with us through each step of the process, supporting us during our inspection, keeping thoughtful track of all of the details, explaining things in understandable terms, and providing professional input and helpful perspective. He clearly has a knack for the real estate market and an expert understanding of the home buying process. Jack and Ellie also regularly checked in to see how we were doing and went above and beyond the call of duty to help us with different aspects of the process, from handling correspondence to coordinating and working with vendors. Even after closing, they continued to support us with resolving issues quickly. As a result of their excellent professional support and expertise, our home buying process was as smooth and stress free as possible, and we are now settled into a home that we absolutely love and couldn’t be happier. We highly recommend the Shorb Team for your real estate needs!

Meg Wood

I've bought or sold 8 houses in my life and my experience with Ellie Shorb was the best. She listens well, follows through impeccably, was very helpful with out of town details (getting an alarm installed and selling a piano), and is a very positive person, which is important to me. All this on top of selling the house in that first few days and above my asking price. Very professional and service oriented. I'd recommend her highly to others.

Ralph Williams

Ellie is wonderful to work with. She is upbeat and has boundless energy. During the house hunting process, we changed our minds many times about the neighborhoods in which we wanted to live, but even with our indecision, Ellie was unflappable and remained committed to finding the right house for us. We didn’t have the opportunity to work with Jack as much, but even our brief interaction with him was extremely positive. Like Ellie, he was pleasant and highly professional.

Eulynn Shiu

Ellie was kind, enthusiastic and caring for the sale of my chevy chase home. A bittersweet adventure for me. She made the process simple and had great ideas of marketing my home for sale. We had eight offers and the house sold for well over the asking price. She walked me through every step of the process with love. I recommend her and her team highly.

Amy Light

Ellie is the realtor you want going to bat for you! She has the qualities everyone looks for in a realtor - trustworthy, hardworking and a good listener. She not only sold our house quickly, but was and is the expert we expected. Our particular sale was complicated by the fact that we are living overseas, AND had tenants living in the house. She successfully overcame those challenges, and the house sold in the range and time frame we expected. We would highly recommend her, and will look to her again for future transactions.

Krista Schmidinger

We first met Ellie in 2018. We remained in contact with Ellie, although we were not shopping for a home at the time. When we were ready to begin our home search, Ellie diligently sought out homes to fit our family's needs. Ellie made herself readily available and always provided us with the necessary information to submit a competitive offer. In short, it was great working with Ellie!

Taurus Moore

I rarely write reviews, but in this case I feel I must. Ellie Shorb gets my highest recommendation for anyone selling or buying a home. Her expertise comes through in all points of strategy and guidance. She goes above and beyond with help on anything related to the work. And her warmth and patience makes working with her a true pleasure. In all these ways, she made the home sale process very smooth and with an outcome that was better than I could have expected.

John Vance

The Shorb team was the best. Ellie is very professional, always available (day or night) to respond to our questions, and really knows the real estate market well. We followed her advice and we had a bidding war for our property as she predicted.

cristina Alvarez

Ellie was great, quick and efficient with the sale of our house in Bethesda. Excellent follow-through, accessable, lots of good ideas. We had been working with Ellie for a while. She took the time to understand us, our objectives and some special needs. So when we finally decided its was time to sell, she was ready and had developed a good relationship with us and new how to structure a transaction with us that would work. Excellent use of technology....text, Whatsapp, docusign... it was a big plus that brought convenienence and simplicity to a couple on the go! thanks Ellie

H

Ellie was a dream to work with in selling our home of 20 years. She helped us price and market the home such that it was under contract within days. She was thorough, efficient, responsive, detail oriented, supportive, positive, and patient. Thank you, Ellie!

Carol McDonnell

Thank you to The Shorb Team for helping my brothers and me sell the family house recently. Ellie handled the process professionally and communicated clearly from start to finish in a very calm and confident manner. The team is very knowledgeable about the real estate industry and about the DC area in general. I would certainly like to work with The Short Team in the future!

David Vance

Ellie & Eric of the Shorb Team were great. They made the stressful process of both buying and selling as easy as possible by handling all the details competently, remaining upbeat throughout, and always being aware of how to make the process work for their clients. I would definitely use them again!

Paul Berman

Jack helped us purchase our dream home! He was patient as we toured each home comparing pros and cons of each in detail, and helped us envision improvements where possible. He provided sound advice throughout our house search and helped calm nerves during an intense inspection! He checked in with us regularly to make sure we were comfortable with each step of the process. Jack explained the things we didn't understand in terms that we did, and handled himself professionally. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor to assist us, and couldn't be happier than we are in our new home!

Dale Scyphers

Ellie and Jack were great partners with us selling our home. They had expert knowledge of the real estate market, great marketing skills, resources and enthusiasm. Thank you Shorb Team!

Catherine Horvath, DNP, CRNA, CHSE, CNE, FAANA

So grateful to Ellie and Jack for all their help in selling this condo, which failed to sell last year, with a different realtor. I truly appreciated their responsiveness, their communication skills, and their footing the bill for the staging! They always knew they could sell my un-sellable unit. And they did! Here's to the Shorb team: Ellie and Jack Shorb! Hip, hip, hurray!

Wendy Leibowitz

Ellie Shorb was instrumental in helping us identify the right home for us, after a multi-month search, and then in assisting us in securing the property. We are very grateful and would happily recommend her to others or serve as a reference.

Kanad Virk

Ellie and her team have been tremendous partners through our house-hunting process, and made the usual rigamarole as easy as possible. We felt like we had personal and trusted representation at every turn, and look forward to working with them again in the future.

Ashley Piraino

I could not be more pleased with the service provided to me by Jack and Eric. I just closed on my first property, and it has been a rollercoaster, but Jack has been very patient, responsive and thorough in teaching me how everything works. They made the search process fun, and provided advice where necessary while being careful not to sway my decisions based on their own preferences. I will be coming back to the Shorb Fafoglia Group when it's time to sell/buy again!

Pushker Mookim

We are first time home buyers and Ellie was such a gem to work with! She made this process as simple and straightforward as possible. Can't recommend her and her team any higher!

Danielle Zimmet

Ellie's depth of experience and knowledge was evident from our first day of working with her - she really made the whole process easy for us. She and her team were fantastic to work with at every stage.

Kendall Burman

Eliie Shorb and jack Shorb were so kind, helpful and reassuring during a very stressful (moving) process. And they sold our house so quickly! They really guided us through the process.

Robin Stein

Ellie is a pro! She not only has a firm grasp of the real estate market and process, she has a can-do attitude for her clients with no ask too great. She is there for you every step of the way - with a smile. She made the process of getting our house ready for market less stressful and she had fantastic ideas to making it look its best. Having our house under contract in 4 days is a testament to her expertise and professionalism. Ellie has the right combination of knowledge, skills and style when it comes to selling or buying your home. She is the best!

Deborah Brafford

The Shorb team is fantastic. Ellie helped us every step of the way. I would recommend the Shorb team with no hesitation.

Bill Delaney

Easy and great to deal with. Really knows the area. Would definitely use again.

James Vance

We could not be more pleased, and fortunate, to have had Jack as our realtor for the purchase of our home, with Justin's assistance. They, and the whole team at the Shorb Fafoglia Group, didn't just exceed our expectations, they surprised us throughout with expertise, contacts, referrals, and advice that went above and beyond what we expected. The home we'd just sold had so many problems that once we found the house we wanted, we were very diligent and particular about everything from insulation and settling to soil and climate risk. He was unfailingly patient, enthusiastic and helpful, meeting us there many times, often with little notice. He noticed things that the inspector, and a structural engineer, missed; he brought in an expert to assess the landscaping/hardscaping and visualize both possibilities and limitations; he navigated a tricky situation with the sellers' furniture skillfully and with good cheer. His instincts and expertise crafting and negotiating the offer were unerring, spot on. There wasn't a single aspect of buying our home with Jack that wasn't easy, enjoyable and thoroughly explained. The frosting on the cake? Jack is also wonderful human being, kind, thoughtful, smart, a true pleasure to work with.

Claire Fontaine

Jack was really great! He helped us to buy our first ever house in early 2021. He and his business partner Eric were really helpful and professional during the whole process. We also felt they really cared about finding the best home for you and they really try to understand what you’re looking for. We got our amazing house on our second offer and it was definitely thanks to their knowledge and experience that we got it. We can’t recommend him enough, buying your first house can be really confusing and scary but Jack made it “easy”.

Rosa Romero Gómez

Jack was a wonderful realtor! He helped us buy a house late 2020- Jan 2021. Our search included 3 offers so was not short, and also we tried to weed out houses online to look at a minimum number of houses in person re: the pandemic, which worked out well. Jack was so helpful, patient, responsive and knowledgeable during the whole process and we really felt like he cared about us finding a great house. We would highly recommend having him as your realtor!

Emily French

I met Jack at an open house of a condo I stopped by to look at. My previous experience buying a condo was not as successful and I had all the fears and doubts in my head that the new experience would become like my previous one. As I was checking out the condo and asking many questions, I realized how knowledgeable and informative Jack was, and most importantly how nice, patient and pleasant he was when answering all my questions. I immediately decided to hire jack as my agent. I knew I could trust him to help me buy a place that not only met my needs, but also was a good investment in the long run. Throughout the shopping process, Jack helped me become more focused on what exactly I wanted my place to look like and intelligently narrow down my options. Home buying can be a very stressful process, but Jack made my experience fun. Thank you, Jack!

Mahsa Sa

Jack was a fantastic realtor to work with. He guided us through the entire home buying process with ease and enthusiasm. In a competitive market, Jack helped us write four offers, and end up in the place of our dreams in April 2021. He stayed on top of listings and was great about recommending places we would love. Truly a joy to work with -- We cannot recommend him more!

James Giaccia

My boyfriend and I had a fantastic experience working with Jack. He found us our dream home! And along the way, he was a pleasure to work with: he was knowledgeable and always forthright, showed good instincts about the pitfalls of potential options, and anticipated our needs. He saved us a lot of time by pre-screening homes and ruling out locations he knew I wouldn't like. And, given that we were first-time homeowners, he walked us through the entire buying process with care.

Lily Bou

I was a first time homebuyer, and didn't really know how or where to start. Jack, and his business partner Eric, were terrific through every step of the process. They helped me find exactly what I was looking for, get an excellent deal on the property, and deal/follow through with the builder afterwards (it was a new property so there were expectedly a number of issues that needed following up on). Throughout the process Jack and Eric were extremely knowledgable, thorough, accessible, communicative, dogged, and consistently helpful to this first time homebuyer. I can't recommend them enough.

Jeb Fain

We couldn't have asked for better realtors than Jack and Eric. They were very responsive to our needs and answered all of our questions whenever we had them. Eric worked with us patiently as we constantly changed our minds about what were looking for in a house and helped us eliminate options. Jack helped us negotiate with the seller and came up with some creative strategies to help us bring the cost down. They were very organized, friendly, and professional.

Ben Marcus

Jack is a customer-focused realtor, goes the extra mile, and knows the region's real estate market well. He is incredibly accessible and helpful, and, through his good listening skills and knowledge, has a good instinct of which places to show a buyer. He helped me buy a beautiful place in Capitol Hill.

Saphira Baker

Jack and Eric are wonderful to work with, and I very highly recommend them! They showed us a great selection of homes, and adjusted our search quickly each time we learned more about which neighborhoods we liked. They responded incredibly quickly to all our questions with thorough answers, and they guided us seamlessly through the moving process. Great work, guys!!
