About Tanya Rhoades
After 16 years navigating the fast-paced real estate market of Northern Virginia and Fairfax County, I’ve learned that the best results come from patience, empathy, and genuine connection—not pressure. My calm, confident approach is tailored to each client’s pace, whether you're buying your first home or selling a cherished property. Now based in the laid-back beach town of Ocean City, MD, I specialize in helping clients embrace the relaxed lifestyle of the Eastern Shore and Delaware beaches, while maintaining strong ties to Fairfax County, where I regularly volunteer at a local food pantry in Burke and spend time with my son and his fiancée. This ongoing connection keeps me grounded and reinforces my commitment to helping people feel truly at home, wherever they are. Whether you're drawn to the energy of Northern Virginia or the serenity of coastal living, I bring a unique blend of experience, compassion, and local insight to ensure your next move feels effortless—and exactly right.

What client say about us
From the first time we met Emel, we knew she was the right person to assist us with our homebuying process. There was an instant connection, and we loved how well she listened to our wants and needs. She was patient with us throughout the entire process, viewing MULTIPLE homes and loved having our children join us for home viewings - she even brought snacks for everyone and played Hide & Seek with them, allowing us to look in-depth at each property without distraction. She was very responsive to us and communicative with us from start to finish. We love how personable and knowledgeable she is, leaving no question unanswered - even if it meant doing a little research on her end. We would highly recommend Emel to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. If we're ever in the market again, we will demand her services first. She is hands down a top notch realtor and will put YOU first!
Shane Doss
Extremely professional and knowledgeable. She know about details of the properties that others might have overlooked. Excellent communication skills. I never felt as if I was rushed into buying a house. She was always available to give us a tour of any new properties on the market. I would highly recommend her.

Emel is not at all your average realtor... by that I mean she's someone you can trust 100% to look after your interests, focus on your needs, and truly care about the outcome for your family. She has immense patience, understands the complexity of the decisions that have to be made, and helps guide you through, holding your hand all the way. We've worked with other realtors before and have never felt the level of comfort and trust that she earns so naturally, the ones who just want to dump you as soon as possible, any house even if there is a poltergeist or murder house. Emel knows how to build clients for the long haul, and we really appreciate that. Combine all of Emel's experience with the level of personal support she offers is truly unique in the Northern Virginia area. We were very fortunate to work with her on our most recent move, and look forward to calling her as soon as we're ready to buy again.

I can't thank Emel enough for all her efforts through the negotiation process of finding our home. She always had our best interests at heart and ensured that we were protected from any issues. I will use Emel for all of my real estate needs and recommend her to family and friends.
