Since becoming a licensed Realtor in 2004, Joe has assisted many wonderful buyers and sellers and worked with the best real estate partners in the Capital Region. Throughout his career, whether the local housing market has been in a fast-paced frenzy or a lull, Joe's business has prospered thanks in large part to generous referrals from current and past clients, friends, family, and colleagues.
Prior to real estate, Joe was Vice President of Information Technology at Washington Mortgage Group (WMG) for seven years and a Project Manager at Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) for 10 years, where he directed several key efforts for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). He brought his strong organizational and project management skills into real estate which helps to streamline his clients' transactions.
Joe's sharp negotiation skills, attention to detail, and in-depth local market knowledge are delivered by a personable demeanor sprinkled with a bit of humor. Joe is a Northern Virginia native raised in McLean and attended George Mason University where he received a degree in Economics. Since 2014 Joe has lived in the Brambleton community of Ashburn in Loudoun County. He has decades of accolades from clients and colleagues, including these most recent testimonials:
“Joe O'Hara delivered, by far, the most professional representation and best experience we have ever received during a real estate transaction, representing us as sellers most recently, but initially as buyers. In both instances, Joe was thoughtful, articulate, and prompt with his advice, and communications throughout the transaction process.”
“If you are looking for a great Realtor, look no further than Joe O'Hara. The recent sale of my condo in McLean, VA marks the fifth time I've worked with Joe over the years, starting way back in 2004.”
When he is not helping his clients, Joe enjoys spending quality time with his family and friends, visiting a great restaurant, traveling to Cape Cod, and an afternoon in Annapolis. An avid runner, Joe has completed several full and half marathons and enjoys participating in charity events throughout the year.
