The Team

Washington, D.C. area resident since 2004, this Ohio native was trained in education at Kent State and Johns Hopkins University. Maria began her career as an educator, which served as a natural launching pad for her career in real estate—the communication, listening, and educational skills of a respected teacher is a boon to every one of her interactions, ensuring that her clients are well-informed participants in making critical decisions.

Maria’s client advocacy and market expertise earned her accolades as one of Washingtonian Magazine’s Top Real Estate Agents in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021. In one of the nation’s fastest-growing regions, Maria helps buyers respond to ever-changing market conditions, connect with top service providers and achieve their real estate goals.

A full-time REALTOR^® since 2011, she and her husband John founded Moore Homes in 2019, with the express desire to create the preeminent boutique real estate company, providing extraordinary service to selective home sellers, buyers, and investors in the Washington, D.C. Metro area.

Maria currently resides in Falls Church, Virginia with her husband John, their son Teddy and dog, Gracie. She enjoys exploring new and undiscovered local restaurants, as well as hiking and running along the area’s extensive network of trails.

Falls Church resident and Illinois native, John headed West for college, earning his B.S. from Oregon State University in 1996. He called the Pacific Northwest home for nearly 15 years, working in both the real estate and natural resource fields the entire time. His experience included a seven-year stint with Plum Creek, which at the time, was one of the nation’s largest Real Estate Investment Trusts.

It is in Oregon where John’s passion for real estate development and home renovation really blossomed. He completely rebuilt his vintage bayfront home by hand and later acquired and converted a 40-acre forestland parcel into rural residential building lots near the Pacific Ocean.

John moved to the Washington, D.C. area in 2010 to assume a leadership role in the Federal government, serving as National Program Manager for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, our Nation’s largest landlord. When John moved to Arlington, he finally was able to pursue his lifelong dream of a full-time career in real estate. Full-time REALTOR^® since 2015, John is licensed in Virginia, Washington, D.C., and Maryland, where his listing expertise ensures his clients sell their homes for the most amount of money in the least amount of time, with the smallest amount of hassle.

In his spare time, John enjoys sharing his love of fly fishing and the outdoors with his wife Maria, son Teddy, adult children, Alex and Madison, and their dog Gracie.
