Sue Goodhart

For more than 30 years, Sue Goodhart has built one of the D.C. area's most trusted real estate businesses. She founded The Goodhart Group in 1992 with her husband, Marty, and today leads the team alongside her daughter, Allison. In 2018, the three of them became founding members of Compass's Alexandria office. As a hands-on listing specialist, Sue tailors each client's experience to make sure no details are missed, whether they are relocating, downsizing, or moving up, while her team of buyer agents guides clients through the metro area's fast-moving market with deep local know-how. The Goodhart mission hasn't changed since day one: helping people through the biggest transitions of their lives.

Before starting her real estate career, Sue earned a Bachelor of Arts from Dickinson College and a Master's Degree in Urban Planning from Harvard University, then spent 14 years as a small business owner in Old Town Alexandria. She has worked as one of Alexandria's most established agents, achieving lifetime Top Producer status with the Northern Virginia Board of Realtors.

Sue's commitment to her community goes beyond real estate. She serves on the Board of Directors of the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce as Development Chair, is a past President of the Board of St. Coletta's of Greater Washington, and has held leadership roles with The Campagna Center, The Fund for Alexandria's Child, and the Choral Arts Society.

The Goodhart Group's results speak for themselves. RealTrends ranked the team #1 among medium-sized teams by volume in Virginia for 2025, with 131 transactions and $156.12M in sales, and one of the top teams in the country. Sue has personally surpassed $2 billion in lifetime sales and has been named a Top Agent or Top Producer by Washingtonian each year since inception, as well as by Northern Virginia Magazine and Arlington Magazine. But what Sue values most is the network of trust she's built over decades: the clients, colleagues, and neighbors who keep coming back.

Sue and her team go beyond the MLS for clients across Alexandria, Arlington, McLean, Springfield, Falls Church, and Fairfax in Virginia, as well as the District of Columbia and the Maryland suburbs. Whether you're buying or selling in the DC Metro Area, Sue and The Goodhart Group provide the guidance, support, and confidence you need, always keeping your best interests at heart.
