Join a Keller Williams Brokerage in Washington, DC
Your best clients rarely stay inside the District. A search that begins on Capitol Hill often ends in Prince George's or Arlington. KW Capital Properties is the DC office of KW Catalyst Partners, on Capitol Hill and in Tenleytown, licensed across DC, Maryland, and Virginia, so you follow the client across the line instead of handing them to someone else.
In DC, deals turn on knowing the quadrant, the rowhouse and its permit history, the condo conversion docs, and how TOPA moves a deal when a tenant has the right to buy first. That is where a real office team earns its keep. Virginia Gergoff serves as Broker of Record, and Casei Baxley leads the office as Team Leader, both working out of our C Street NE location near the Hill. Across the KW Catalyst Partners network, agents closed more than $2.2 billion in volume in 2025 and served 5,492 families. When a rowhouse inspection turns up a surprise or a contract needs eyes before midnight, you get a person who knows the District, not a ticket in a queue. The platform runs behind you; the commission stays yours.
For new agents and experienced producers
New to real estate in DC
DC rewards agents who learn the fundamentals fast, because a first-time buyer in Columbia Heights and an investor eyeing a Shaw condo conversion need very different things from you. KW Capital Properties gives new agents a step-by-step blueprint, one-on-one mentorship, and a plan built around a real income target, so you spend your first year closing instead of guessing. You learn how DC rowhouse contracts, condo conversions, and TOPA (the District's Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act, which can give a tenant the first right to buy) actually work, with a local team that answers when you call. This is where a new DC agent learns the business the right way.
Start Your First Year Right →Already producing across the DMV
Most of us built our businesses the hard way in this market, so we do not think you should have to. You have earned the right to keep more of what you close, and to stop handing off the client who crosses into Maryland or Virginia. Your clients do not stay inside one jurisdiction, and with the KW Catalyst Partners footprint across DC, Maryland, and Virginia, neither does your business. On the economics: you hold the majority split until you hit your annual cap, then 100 percent for the rest of the year, and profit share makes you a stakeholder who earns as the office grows, not just off your own settlements. Command is included in your cap, so the tools you use to farm a DC quadrant and stay in front of past clients are not another line item. Your license moves in as little as a business day, and we help you hold or add DC, Maryland, and Virginia licensure so one relationship covers the whole DMV. Bring your book and keep your momentum.
Talk Splits and Transfer →What you build when you make the move
Training and coaching
Weekly live sessions at the C Street NE office, on-demand courses through Keller Williams University, one-on-one mentorship for new agents, and coaching for producers scaling across the DMV. Specialty tracks for every stage, from your first listing to running a team.
Technology that is included
Command, the KW app suite, gives you a CRM, marketing platform, and business analytics built for agents. It is included in your cap, so farming a DC quadrant or nurturing a past-client database does not cost you a separate CRM subscription or a per-seat marketing fee on top.
Splits and cap, stated plainly
KW Capital Properties uses the Keller Williams commission model: you keep the majority split on every transaction until you reach your annual cap, then you earn 100 percent for the rest of the year. You also share in the brokerage's profit as a partner in the business. We will walk you through the exact numbers for your production in a short conversation.
Local support you can reach
Contract review, document compliance, and tech questions handled in-house by leadership and staff at our C Street NE office, a short walk from the Hill, not routed to a call center. Real people who understand a DC deal and know your file when you call.
Frequently asked questions
Is KW Capital Properties accepting new agents in Washington, DC?
Yes. KW Capital Properties welcomes both new and experienced agents working Washington, DC and the surrounding DMV, whether you are just getting licensed or moving an established book. New agents step into mentorship and a first-year plan; producers step into better economics, in-house support, and a network licensed across DC, Maryland, and Virginia.
Where is your DC office located?
Our office is at 519 C Street NE, Washington, DC 20002, in the NE quadrant near Capitol Hill and a short walk from Union Station, so it is easy to reach by Metro, the Hill, or the neighborhoods you work. You can reach the office at (202) 243-7700.
How do the commission splits and the KW cap work?
KW Capital Properties uses the Keller Williams commission model. You keep the majority split on your transactions until you reach your annual cap, and after you cap you earn 100 percent for the rest of the year. On top of that, agents share in the brokerage's profit. We will walk you through the exact split and cap for your production when we talk.
Do you train and mentor new agents?
Yes. Beyond the blueprint and mentorship, new agents get a productivity track with accountability check-ins, so training turns into listings and closings rather than notes in a binder. You practice scripts, role-play live conversations, and work real lead-generation activities with a coach at our C Street NE office watching your numbers. Producing agents get ongoing coaching and specialty education.
How do I move my real estate license to KW Capital Properties?
It is faster than most agents expect. A license transfer can be done in as little as one business day, and you keep working your pipeline the entire time, so no deals stall. Our team files the paperwork with you and moves your active business, tools, and marketing over, walking you through each step so nothing slips. If you want to work across the region, we can help you hold or add licensure in DC, Maryland, and Virginia so one relationship covers the whole DMV.
What areas does the DC office serve?
Agents with KW Capital Properties work all four DC quadrants, from Capitol Hill and Shaw in the NE and NW to Petworth and Columbia Heights uptown and Anacostia and Congress Heights east of the river. Because the KW Catalyst Partners network works the whole DMV, the service area carries into inner Maryland across Prince George's and Montgomery counties, and inner Northern Virginia including Arlington and Alexandria, so you can follow a client across the DC, Maryland, and Virginia lines.
