How many real estate agents in District of Columbia?
Count taken September 5, 2026Page built September 5, 2026
1,168 real estate agents in District of Columbia had a published, current brokerage profile when we counted on September 5, 2026. That is 0.2% of the 493,081 agents counted across the United States, and ranks District of Columbia 44th of 51 states and DC.
"Agent" on this page means a person with a live profile on a brokerage's website at the time of the count. It is not the number of licences District of Columbia has issued, which is higher because many licensees are inactive or unaffiliated, and it is not REALTOR® association membership. The count covers 14 brands; see how the counting works for what is and is not included.

Largest real estate brokerages in District of Columbia
The ten biggest real estate companies in District of Columbia by number of agents with a published profile. A company that publishes no office names (Keller Williams, RE/MAX, Compass and others) appears as one row.
| Brokerage | Agents | Share of attributed agents | Brand | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Compass | 364 | 31.2% | |
| 2 | Keller Williams | 331 | 28.3% | |
| 3 | Coldwell Banker Realty | 125 | 10.7% | Coldwell Banker |
| 4 | Corcoran | 112 | 9.6% | |
| 5 | Real Broker | 46 | 3.9% | Real Brokerage |
| 6 | Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices | 45 | 3.9% | |
| 7 | RE/MAX | 38 | 3.3% | |
| 8 | CENTURY 21 Redwood Realty | 30 | 2.6% | Century 21 |
| 9 | CENTURY 21 New Millennium | 27 | 2.3% | Century 21 |
| 10 | HomeSmart | 24 | 2.1% |
By brand rather than company, Compass has 364 (31%), Keller Williams has 331 (28%), Coldwell Banker has 125 (11%), Corcoran has 112 (10%) and Century 21 has 57 (5%). A brand's figure adds up every company operating under that name, so a franchise like Coldwell Banker or Century 21 is spread over many rows in the table above but appears once here.
Which District of Columbia cities have the most real estate agents?
Cities are taken from the office or agent address as published; suburbs are counted separately from their core city.

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Washington | 1,019 | 87.2% |
| 2 | Washington, DC | 6 | 0.5% |
| 3 | Beltsville | 4 | 0.3% |

| 5 | Charles Town | 1 | 0.1% |
| 6 | District of Columbia County | 1 | 0.1% |
| 7 | Falls Church | 1 | 0.1% |
133 District of Columbia agents (11.4%) have a profile that names no city and are counted only in the state total.
Websites, phone numbers and email
Among the 685 District of Columbia agents whose profiles we check for a personal website, 8.0% have a site of their own rather than a page on the brokerage's site. The national figure is 7.2%. 94.0% of the 1,168 checked agents publish a direct phone number (national: 90.7%). Every counted agent has a published email address, which is the inclusion rule. In District of Columbia, 61% of those addresses are on a franchise domain, 33% on the agent's or the office's own domain, and 6% on free webmail such as Gmail or Yahoo. No address appears on this site.
Where the data comes from
The count is built from the public agent directories of 14 brokerage brands operating in District of Columbia, led by Compass, Keller Williams, Coldwell Banker and Corcoran. Brands that publish no directory, and independent brokerages outside those networks, are not counted, so the true number of working agents is higher than the figure on this page; the ranking of brokerages and cities is among the networks we can see.
The source is a per-agent contact file, the District of Columbia realtor list at usrealtorlist.com; an agent is counted here only if that file holds a published, current email address for them, which keeps the count to working agents.
