Mark McConnell

Growing up in a military family and graduating from Fairfax County Public Schools, Northern Virginia has been home for most of my life. Moving frequently taught me how important it is to choose the right neighborhood and how critical smart marketing is when it is time to sell. As a full-time Realtor® with Debbie Doğrul Associates (DDA) at eXp Realty, I guide clients through every step with clarity, care, and a long-term perspective.

As part of the #1 eXp Team in Virginia, my clients plug into a powerful and proven system. Debbie Doğrul Associates closes more than 500 homes each year, has more than 1,800 client reviews, produces more than $365 million in annual sales volume, and is powered by more than 35 full-time Realtors dedicated to exceptional service and results. Backed by this award-winning team, my personal production of more than $15 million in annual sales and more than 25 homes sold each year means you benefit from both high-level strategy and hands-on support.

Before real estate, I spent more than a decade as a district manager for a Fortune 500 retailer, helping grow operations from two stores to more than 130 nationwide. That experience sharpened my skills in logistics, marketing, sales, team leadership, and operations. My nearly 10 years as an award-winning, published photographer give me a unique edge in staging, visual storytelling, and creating marketing that truly stands out in competitive Northern Virginia markets.

One of my favorite client success stories is helping Paul and Deb Wydra navigate both sides of their move at the same time. On the buy side, we negotiated their new home for below list price while still securing important protections, including home inspection, financing, and appraisal contingencies, giving them peace of mind in a fast-moving market. On the sell side, we timed their listing for a peak window, positioned the home strategically, and attracted strong offers. They ultimately sold for $25,000 above asking with waived contingencies, maximizing their equity and simplifying their transition.

Today, I specialize in listing strategy, home preparation, and advanced marketing, supported by staging certification and extensive experience guiding clients through probate and divorce-related sales. Whether you are selling a longtime family home or buying your next chapter, you can expect clear communication, data-driven guidance, and strong advocacy at every turn.

I proudly serve homebuyers and sellers throughout Northern Virginia, including Fairfax, Burke, Springfield, Falls Church, Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax Station, Bristow, Clifton, Centreville, Chantilly, Leesburg, Purcellville, Ashburn, Broadlands, Haymarket, Brambleton, Gainesville, Reston, and Sterling. If you are searching for homes or considering a sale in any of these communities, I would be honored to help you craft a tailored strategy for your move.
