Alison Glanz Watkins
AGENT
Buying or selling a home is more than a transaction—it’s a major life moment. Alison brings a strategic, client-focused approach to real estate, drawing on her background in learning and development at McKinsey & Company. She has spent years guiding people through complex decisions with clarity and confidence, ensuring her clients feel informed, empowered, and at ease throughout the process.
As a longtime rental property owner and manager, Alison understands real estate from both a homeowner’s and an investor’s perspective. Her keen eye for design and expertise in home renovations—combined with deep market knowledge and strong negotiation and project management skills—help clients make well-informed decisions, whether they’re purchasing their first home or expanding their portfolio.
Having relocated multiple times across the U.S. and abroad (Italy, Japan, Dubai), Alison understands the challenges of moving and brings valuable insight to help ease her clients' transitions. She connects easily with people from diverse backgrounds, offering practical solutions to make every move as seamless as possible.
Alison loves the balance of nature and city life in her Takoma Park neighborhood, where daily walks along Sligo Creek with her dog, Rocky, are a favorite part of her day. When she’s not helping clients, she embraces the outdoors—whether hiking, skiing, or walking the beach near her second home on Cape Cod. Always up for exploring, Alison is often planning her family’s next travel adventure.
Dedicated to sustainable living and empowering others—especially women—through homeownership, Alison is committed to making every real estate journey a positive and rewarding experience.
