Desmond McKenna

For experienced DMV agent Desmond McKenna, the client always comes first. Driven by the belief that every buyer or seller deserves world-class service regardless of price point, Desmond consistently creates personalized, five-star experiences designed to exceed expectations and change lives.

A native of Castleblayney, Ireland, Desmond knew he was meant to be in real estate ever since he discovered his love for architecture as a kid. And although his penchant for customer service first led him to the world of hospitality, he quickly realized he could no longer ignore his longtime passion: guiding others through the nuanced yet necessary process of buying and selling their homes. Today, Desmond is a trusted agent on the DMV scene who brings 11 years of industry experience to every transaction. Throughout that time, clients have come to count on his hospitable, straightforward approach and his knack for taking all the stress out of any home search or sale.

For Desmond, real estate isn’t about the bottom line; it’s about helping people make the right decision for their future, often anticipating what that decision should be before they even recognize it themselves. He matches his relationship-first philosophy with efficient service and a commitment to arming every client with the knowledge they need to navigate the process both smoothly and successfully.

A big believer in creating value for his clients, Desmond goes above and beyond to make each experience as convenient as it is memorable. How? By providing thoughtful, white-glove service that spans everything from putting clients up at a luxury hotel when listing to offering free staging without the strings attached. A 20-year DC area resident, Desmond knows the city inside and out, and he loves helping clients explore the restaurants, bars, stores, and museums that make it such a special place to call home. Whether you’re a first-time buyer on the hunt for a curated condo downtown or a seasoned seller relocating to the suburbs, Desmond has the local insight you’ll want on your side when navigating your next real estate adventure.

In his spare time, you can find Desmond cooking, watching political documentaries, and spending time with his friends. He currently resides in Dupont Circle, a neighborhood known for its charm and unique restaurants.
