I’ve spent my entire adult life working in real estate across Northern Virginia and Washington, DC. I got started in 1980 after studying urban studies and engineering, and I have been a real estate broker since 1989. Over the years I have helped clients buy, sell, and invest in homes, land, and investment properties, at every budget level.
I am also a three time cancer survivor. That experience shaped me in a big way and taught me to stay steady, positive, and proactive through life’s biggest decisions. If you’re thinking about making a move, I’d love to be a resource. Reach out anytime.

“If you are looking to buy or sell your home, Karrina Brown absolutely can get it done. Her intelligence and integrity are unmatched. I have personally seen her handle five real estate transactions, and I wouldn’t go with anyone else. It’s easier to tell you what Karrina won’t do. She won’t show you homes out of your price range. She won’t show you homes that don’t have your non-negotiable features. She won’t ghost you and she won’t waste your time. What Karrina will do is talk to you about your needs and respect your choices. She will show you homes that fit exactly what you described. She will do the “homework” about other home sales and trends in the area. If you are looking to buy, Karrina makes sure you have a sense of where your choice will be in any neighborhood. If you are looking to sell, Karrina will help you figure out a price for the sale you are comfortable with. Karrina helped my brother rent an apartment, then buy a townhouse, then sell the townhouse.. When I saw how she helped him with laser focus and intention, I asked her to help me buy a condo and later sell the condo. She even helped me figure out what to upgrade to make my condo sell quicker, which was important for me. Karrina did all these things while keeping her eye on the pulse of the ever-changing DC area real estate market, and maintaining consistent optimism.”
— Whendy C., Seller • Mclean, VA“Karrina is definitely a professional at her job. She helped us find a home as soon as we contacted her. She's a very kind and helpful person, and she helped us with the entire rental process; all we had to do was move in. I would definitely contact her again and recommend her without hesitation.”
— Claudia O, Buyer • Annandale, VA“ I am writing this letter to provide a strong recommendation for Karrina Brown. Ms. Brown eagerly and persistently showed me apartments/condos until we found the right one for me. She was professional, genuinely supportive and had the right negotiation skills to "seal the deal." She also had an excellent knowledge of the area she was showing me. I would highly recommend her as a great real estate agent! Sincerely, Ken Macdonald”

Karrina was very responsive to our ever-changing needs. We were buying the house from afar so she was constantly setting up viewing appointments that coincided with our schedule, as well as her own busy schedule. She did not hold back on her honest opinion of each house and her gut instinct to include an escalation clause in our offer was the reason we secured the house we wanted. When Karrina was unavailable, her colleague Luisa stepped in and didn’t skip a beat. Both ladies are a pleasure to work with.

FAQs
How can you help me prepare my home for sale?
1
Every home starts in a different place. Some are ready for showings at any time, while others may need a little maintenance, decluttering, or preparation before buyers walk through the door. I’ll walk through your property and recommend effective, cost-conscious improvements to optimize its value. From simple updates to larger projects, I have trusted contractors and local connections to help you get your home market-ready.
Do I need staging, and what does that include?
2
Staging looks different for every property. Sometimes it’s helping you tidy up, de-clutter, and add a few decorator touches. Other times, I bring in attractive furniture to showcase the home at its best and create a strong online presence. It might be as simple as improving curb appeal with a clear, welcoming path to the front door. Together, we’ll determine the right staging plan to present your home in the strongest possible light.
What is your marketing plan for my home?
3
I sell more because I do more. I hire top photographers and videographers so your home looks exceptional online. Your property will be promoted across listing platforms and strategically targeted using AI to reach buyers most likely to be interested. I use yard and directional signage when appropriate, reach out to qualified prospects in my network, and often create detailed video tours to highlight upgrades and special features. I also host Open Houses to help buyers envision themselves in the home. I don’t stop working until your property is SOLD.
How do you handle offers and ensure a smooth closing?
4
Getting the offer is just the beginning. My job is to maximize your position and negotiate the strongest possible terms. With years of contract experience, I carefully evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of every offer in the context of the current market. I prepare paperwork thoroughly, screen offers to anticipate potential pitfalls, and stay ahead of issues so transactions close and close on time.
