Best Realtors in Arlington, VA 2026 | Blake Davenport & The Davenport Group

Last Updated: October 21, 2026

When Arlington buyers and sellers search for the best Realtors in Arlington, VA, they want a team with the receipts to back the claim. I founded The Davenport Group on that exact standard. Real Trends 2026 named us the #1 team in Arlington, VA by sales volume across all five team-size categories, the #2 large team in the state of Virginia, and the #107 large team in the United States. We have also been the #1 team in Arlington by sales volume for three consecutive years, and ARLnow voted us the Best Real Estate Agent for Sellers in Arlington, VA. That is the level of representation Arlington buyers and sellers deserve in 2026.

If the Arlington market feels like it is slowing down this fall, that is because it is. But not evenly, and your price point decides what that means for you. September showed us countywide inventory is up 20% from this time last year, with 109 more homes on the market in Arlington alone. Showings have thinned out, and rates above 7% have pulled a lot of buyers back. But the segment-by-segment story is where the real picture lives. Under $1 million is where the slowdown is sharpest, with inventory up 24% from last September and sales down 11%. The $1 to $2 million segment is the surprise of the fall, with sales up 9% year over year and days on market dropping from 33 to 20. Above $2 million, luxury has been one of the strongest segments all year, with sales up over 20% year to date compared to 2025.

For Arlington buyers, this is leverage you did not have in the spring. More to choose from in most segments, less competition on most listings, and we have clients closing right now with rate buy-downs that put them in the 5% range. For Arlington sellers, this is not a spring market. If you can afford to wait until next year, that may be the better move. If you need to sell now, pricing expectations have to reset and marketing has to work harder. If you are thinking about buying in Arlington in the next 12 months, the next 4 to 5 months are likely your best shot.

Why The Davenport Group for Arlington Real Estate

The best Realtors in Arlington, VA are not the ones with the loudest ads. They are the ones who actually close at the top of the market month after month, in every season, across every price point. I built our team's record by treating every Arlington transaction the same way: strategic pricing, disciplined negotiation, and honest counsel even when honest is uncomfortable.

Real Trends 2026 ranking us the #1 Arlington team across all five team-size categories, the #2 large team in Virginia, and the #107 large team nationally confirms what our Arlington clients already know. ARLnow's recognition as the Best Real Estate Agent for Sellers in Arlington reinforces it. When a listing is on the line, sellers want the team with the most consistent results in the local market. When a buyer needs to move fast without overpaying, they want a team that has been through every kind of Arlington market.

We work both sides of every Arlington transaction: marketing that consistently outperforms the broader Arlington market, pricing strategy that earns full-price offers, and negotiation discipline that protects buyers in every season, whether the market is running hot or cooling into summer.
