Best Realtor in Bethesda, MD

People search that exact phrase a lot, so here's a straight answer instead of a sales pitch. I'm Olivia Fenton, a Realtor with The Scott Team at Samson Properties. The Scott Team has been named to Washingtonian's Top Real Estate Agents list in 2023, 2024, and 2026, and I actively work Bethesda, a market where new construction and close-in classics trade at very different prices block by block, as part of my wider Montgomery County practice.

The honest answer

Who is the best realtor in Bethesda?

There's no official title for that, no governing body that hands out the crown, so be a little skeptical of anyone who claims it outright, myself included. What I can tell you is my actual record. I'm part of The Scott Team at Samson Properties, a family team my mom Alecia built and I joined in 2014. Washingtonian named the team to its Top Real Estate Agents list in 2023, 2024, and 2026, which is an independent magazine's call, not something we nominated ourselves for. I'm rated 5.0 stars across 76 reviews on Zillow. I work Bethesda as an active, regular part of my Montgomery County practice, with the full Scott Team at Samson Properties behind me.

None of that makes the decision for you. The best realtor for your sale is the one who actually picks up the phone, knows your specific street, and tells you the truth about your timeline and your number. That's the bar I hold myself to, and the fastest way to find out if I clear it is to text me and ask a real question.

Bethesda$1,349,10735 days

Bethesda figures (222 homes sold in August 2026, up 0.7% year-over-year) cover 20814, 20816, and 20817, sourced from Redfin's market data for the three months ending August 2026, since I don't yet have a full Bright MLS breakdown built for Bethesda on this site. Bethesda runs well above the countywide average, which tracks with its mix of close-in classics and new luxury construction. I'll pull the live numbers for your specific Bethesda street on a call.
