Hi, I'm Baya — a real estate agent at Compass helping buyers and sellers across DC, Maryland, and Virginia find homes that actually fit them.
I'm a Compass agent working out of Old Town Alexandria and calling Del Ray home. I work with first-time buyers, growing families, and longtime sellers across DC, Maryland, and Virginia.
People hire me when they want an agent who'll tell them the truth — even when the truth is "don't buy this house." The home you choose shapes your daily life: your morning coffee spot, your dog's walking route, whose kids your kids grow up with. That's a big deal, and I take it seriously.
I'm fierce at the negotiation table when I need to be, calm at closing when you need someone calm, and I don't disappear after the offer is accepted. If you're thinking about a move — soon, eventually, or just trying to make sense of the market — let's grab coffee.
My DMV: a pour-over from Hypergoat to start the morning, dinner at Josephine when it's a special one, and long walks along the Potomac almost every morning. I live in Del Ray and work out of Old Town — come find me at either one.
