Buying a home is one of the largest financial decisions you will ever make. The agent you choose determines how well you are prepared, how clearly you understand your options, and how confidently you negotiate when it matters most. That is what it means to have the right person in your corner.
I am Roger Taylor, Washington DC real estate agent, licensed with Compass and serving buyers in Washington, DC and Maryland. I have been working in the DC metro market for 11 years, and I hold the Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist designation. Before real estate, I spent 13 years as a Senior Consultant at the International Monetary Fund, working across six continents with 190 member countries. That background shaped how I approach every client relationship: analytically, strategically, and with a clear process from the first conversation to closing day.
Your agent is your edge
Compass was ranked the #1 brokerage in the U.S. for five years in a row by RealTrends Closed Sales Volume. I am proud to be part of that team, and more importantly, I want you to understand what that affiliation means for you as a buyer.
It means you get access to Compass Private Exclusive listings before they reach the open market. In a competitive market like Washington, DC, seeing properties before other buyers do is a real advantage. It means you have the tools, technology, and brokerage support behind every offer we make together. And it means you are working with an agent backed by the #1 brokerage in the U.S. by closed sales volume.
What buying in Washington, DC and Maryland actually looks like
The DC metro market moves quickly and has its own dynamics that matter whether you are buying in Georgetown, Chevy Chase DC, Kalorama, Capitol Hill, Dupont Circle, Cleveland Park, Woodley Park, or surrounding DC neighborhoods, or in Prince George's County, Montgomery County, or Howard County in Maryland.
Every market within the DMV has its own pricing patterns, inventory rhythms, and competitive dynamics. A buyer coming in without a clear strategy is at a disadvantage from the start. My job is to make sure that never happens to my clients.
Before we look at a single property, we build your strategy together. That means understanding your timeline, your financing, what you need in a home versus what you want, and what your plan is if the first offer does not go your way. Most buyers do not think about that last question until they are sitting in the middle of a multiple offer situation. We think about it before we ever schedule a showing.
What you should expect from a buyer consultation with me
A 30-minute call with me is not a sales pitch. It is a working conversation. By the end of it, you will know exactly what the buying process looks like in DC or Maryland, what you need to have in place before making an offer, and whether we are a good fit to work together.
I am licensed in Washington, DC (License SP98375653) and Maryland (License 5023499). I serve buyers across the full DC metro area and am ready to go to work for you.
