Best of Arlington 2020

Steve Wydler

Real Estate Agent

Experience and reputation aside, Steve Wydler thinks clients are drawn to the real estate practice he’s run with his brother, Hans, since 2004 (Steve manages Northern Virginia while Hans takes care of D.C. and Maryland) because they don’t take themselves too seriously. “There are very few brother [real estate] teams, so we have fun with it and play off the sibling rivalry,” he says, alluding to ad campaigns that depict the two grown men tussling for Mom’s attention and taking good-natured jabs at each other. Despite what the ads playfully imply, the associate broker says he’s happy to share the spotlight—with his brother and the roughly 20 others who make up the Wydler team, which joined Compass in 2018. “Instead of pretending that I’m the best at everything, we [have] a team approach,” he says, which tells clients they are in good hands when buying or selling a home. Plus, they get a few laughs, he adds. “I mean, I think I have a good sense of humor.” –Matt Blitz
