Meet Bridget

I help discerning buyers and sellers make confident, future-ready decisions about where and how they live. My work centers on homes designed to perform, adapt, and hold value over time—places that actively support healthy living, resilience, and long-term well-being.

As a residential real estate advisor with TTR Sotheby’s International Realty in the Washington, DC metro area, I specialize in high-performance, intelligently designed homes that integrate thoughtful architecture, resilient energy systems, and smart home technology. I previously practiced real estate in Seattle, and my experience across highly competitive markets shapes how I evaluate value, design quality, and long-term performance.

My perspective is also informed by close relationships with exceptional Sotheby’s advisors around the world. Those connections provide ongoing insight into global standards of quality, design, and what endures as markets, lifestyles, and technologies evolve.

Before real estate, I built an international career as a journalist, producer, and on-camera host, contributing to major global media outlets and profiling cultural change-makers across film, television, media, and the arts. That work sharpened the skills that define my advisory approach today: listening deeply, navigating complexity, earning trust, and communicating clearly in high-stakes situations.

I am a published author, and storytelling remains central to my real estate practice. Whether I’m positioning a distinctive property for sale or guiding buyers through nuanced decisions, I focus on crafting clear, compelling narratives that reveal not just what a home is—but what it can become.

My practice is grounded in emerging building science and future-ready design. I hold Green, Smart Home, and Pearl certifications and am active with local environmental organizations, including the Potomac Conservancy. I work closely with innovative architects, builders, designers, and trusted service providers to help clients understand how systems, materials, and technology contribute to healthier living, resilience, and lasting value.

I live in Vienna, Virginia, in an award-winning modern home that reflects the principles behind Live Wise DMV.
