Hello Alexandria!
We are delighted for this opportunity to connect with you in our Ask McEnearney column where you can submit your real estate questions to us and we will provide you with informative answers from our industry experts at McEnearney Associates.
With forty years of experience, we’ve helped our clients navigate through some of the most complicated and interesting scenarios, and we hope this column will help you become more informed so you can make the most educated decisions about your real estate investment.
We thought that we would kick start this series by asking, Who is McEnearney?
McEnearney Associates is a firm founded in Alexandria by John McEnearney, who had a singular focus on providing clients with exemplary real estate services. As a graduate of the US Naval Academy, John retired as a Captain after a long, distinguished and interesting career and began his real estate career the next day.
Just a few years later, the firm became the market leader in Alexandria and has confidently held that position for 38 years. John’s goal was never to be the biggest, but to be the best, and our associates are the brightest and most experienced agents in the industry.
Today, McEnearney Associates is led by President Maureen McEnearney Dunn, who has grown the firm to more than 380 Associates and eleven residential, commercial, property management and relocation offices. The Alexandria office is led by Executive Vice President and Principal Broker, Dave Hawkins, and Executive Vice President, Michael Day.
Ranked by Washington Business Journal as one of the Best Places to Work and recognized in the Top 100 companies nationally, the firm prides itself as being the trusted real estate resource in Alexandria. The most important thing that differentiates McEnearney Associates is: it’s not about us, it’s about you.
Most importantly, our goal is to always do the right thing for our clients.
When McEnearney Associates was formed, John wanted to create a firm that went above and beyond selling and buying homes for clients… He wanted to give back to the communities that helped make it the venerable and trusted firm it is today.
Every McEnearney Associate stands behind this dedication and a brand that believes in making an investment in the communities where we live and work. We are proud to partner with over 100 organizations and nonprofits that have helped support the Alexandria and wider community and make it the unique and special place that we call home.
