About Max
Max pairs a formal background in finance and commercial real estate with a childhood of following his parents as they worked in residential real estate. Having completed many renovations, Max has built an understanding of how projects get done, and problem-solving skills. Even though early in his career, Max has already worked with a number of high-net-worth clientele and is familiar with the luxury market. He believes that the relationship is more important than the transaction, and finding the right investment/perfect home for his client is the number one priority.

When Max isn't working he enjoys cooking for friends and spending time in his gardens. As the son of two immigrants, family is not nearby, so his friends have become his family. These relationships he has built are the most important thing to Max and help make him a better agent


Client Testimonials


ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…

We had such a great experience working with Max while searching for our first home in DC. Right from the start, Max took the time to truly listen and understand what we were looking for — not just in terms of square footage and amenities, but what would make a place feel like home and best align with our lifestyle. As first-time buyers, the process was naturally stressful at times, but Max’s steady guidance, responsiveness, and regular check-ins made everything feel far more manageable. In the tough and competitive DC market for single-family homes, that’s no easy feat.

What we appreciated most was how patient, upbeat, and hard-working Max was throughout. Even when we got outbid or things didn’t go our way, he kept us encouraged and focused, and was always ready to jump in with a new idea or opportunity. Thanks to his persistence and support, we ended up in a home we truly love. Our family is incredibly grateful to have had Max as our agent, and we’d recommend him to anyone — especially if you want someone in your corner who’s thoughtful, trustworthy, and genuinely wants the best for you and your family.

Working with Max was such a pleasure. I went into the process never having bought property before, and Max made everything easy, simple, and low-stress. He has deep knowledge of the DC market; he was extremely generous in sharing his knowledge and time; and he consistently anticipated (and addressed) questions and concerns I had as a first-time buyer.I feel very lucky to have met Max and to have had the opportunity to work with him on my first home purchase. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!-Fred

"Working with Max at Compass has been an absolute pleasure! From start to finish and beyond, we are so fortunate to have had the guidance of Max throughout the process. My husband and I appreciated all the effort and time that was spent by the team on our perfect first home search. From viewings to negotiations to closing - you want to use them! I know we only just purchased a home, but we will definitely be using them in the future too! Thank you to Max, Lindsey and Daniel - we appreciate you so much!"

"Moving to an old folks home once one reaches 80 is a pretty traumatic experience but Max and Daniel held my hand and coached me to bid farewell to my beloved Beekman Place condo after living there over 20 years and loving every minute but I found I could no longer physically navigate the steps. Rather than roll their eyes at how dated the unit had become, they both offered incredibly useful suggestions as to what needed to be renovated, found me the best moving company in the area that handled my artwork with care, put no pressure on me timewise so that I could pack based on my own schedule, found an outstanding renovation crew to update and modernize my unit that has one of the best views of the US Capitol and the Washington Monument in all of DC, found a staging company that would put the best face possible on the completed unit, offered me updates on its progress and best of all, never made me feel like a bother when I needed a quick question answered or wanted another word of advice about the sale. They are honest, they know the real estate market so well and Max has a vested interest in Beekman because he own two units there and sits on the BOD as Treasurer. What more can any homeowner ask for in a realtor?"
