David Mount Real Estate
I never planned on becoming a real estate agent. Most kids have ideas about what they want to be when they grow up… fireman, policeman, doctor. Not me. I never felt a draw to any particular vocation as a child. As a teenager, I was always that guy who was a good listener. Someone who was there to support a friend, whether in need or striving toward a goal. I never liked being the center of attention. But I always found it fulfilling to be an empathetic friend and give people practical advice. Because of that, I thought maybe I’d become a therapist or a counselor of some sort.
But growing up in Northern Virginia, I (naturally) started working for the federal government right after I graduated from James Madison University (JMU). A few years into my analyst position in the Department of Defense, I realized that sitting behind a computer screen analyzing data all day and writing reports wasn’t as fulfilling as I had hoped. As a recent college graduate, I was making a good salary with unbeatable benefits, but I didn’t feel like I was in the right place long-term.
I believe there’s a vocational sweet spot at the intersection of what a person is good at, what the world needs, and what a person finds fulfilling. I yearned to impact people's lives in a tangible way, but I never really knew how.
In my free time a few years into my government job, I picked up a book on real estate investing. It sounded amazing!! Find motivated sellers, buy apartment complexes at a discount, renovate them, refinance them, and earn a great return. Simple… well, not quite. I soon discovered that “mom-and-pop” apartment complexes in Northern Virginia don’t really exist, so that real estate strategy wouldn’t work for me.
So I did what every reasonable person would do, I started Googling. I stumbled across real estate wholesaling content online and proceeded down the rabbit hole. The business model is to essentially find sellers who need to sell quickly and are willing to sell at a discount and then sell the contract to another buyer and earn a margin.
I made the decision that this was going to be my winning strategy. I found a real estate coach and hired him to teach and train me on how to succeed with the wholesaling strategy. After printing letters, hand-addressing, stamping, and licking thousands of envelopes, I ended up with a few dozen seller phone calls. Ultimately, I didn’t find any sellers who I could actually help. In retrospect, I believe there was a massive misalignment between who I am as a person and that business model. Is there a place for this business model? Sure. But did it really fulfill my desire to impact people's lives in a tangible way? Survey says… No!
A few months after my first failed foray into real estate, I had a conversation with a good friend of mine from church who had successfully launched his real estate career a year prior. He encouraged me to get my real estate license. It was a different approach than I had originally thought, but I decided to pursue it.
I had no idea what was involved in being a real estate agent until I actually started. I was part-time at first, which was nearly impossible for me at the time. I couldn’t bring my phone into my office because of security reasons, so I was limited to working after business hours and making occasional phone calls during my half hour of lunch.
During the six months that I was a part-time real estate agent, I was able to help two groups of tenants rent out a property. I enjoyed the process of helping people decide where to live and through a series of providential signs and conversations decided to go all in, despite the fact that I hadn’t yet helped anyone buy or sell real estate yet. I pulled the plug on my government job and jumped into real estate full-time with ZERO “backup” plan. I had extremely high confidence that this was the right move.
Twelve years later, I can say with absolute certainty that becoming a real estate agent has been one of the best decisions of my life. Not only have I gotten to work with hundreds of people buying and selling real estate, but I get to see the real impact of my work on people's lives.
Someone recently mentioned that I must “like houses” because I’m a real estate agent. As I reflected on that comment, I would actually disagree. I don’t “like houses”; I like people. And as an agent, I get to help people make wise decisions about where they live and guide them through choppy waters. I get to be both a skilled negotiator/tactician and a therapist at times!
As a follower of Jesus, I get a chance to live out my faith through my work by praying for, and sometimes with, my clients. And with the skills I’ve acquired in this industry, I get to be a blessing to people who are making important decisions about their family and financial lives. Whether I'm working with a luxury seller, first-time or upsizing buyer, downsizing seller, or military relocation, I'm honored to walk alongside people in one of life's most important chapters.

A Christian Real Estate Agent in Northern Virginia

About David Mount
I built my real estate practice around one idea: that buyers and sellers in Northern Virginia deserve an agent who treats the transaction like it’s the most important thing happening in your life that month — because it usually is. Whether you’re selling a family home you’ve lived in for thirty years, buying your first place in Fairfax County, relocating for a PCS or a new job, or transitioning through a major life change, the work I do for you is the same: defensible pricing, sub-market-specific marketing, responsive communication, and honest advice whether you want to hear it or not.

Education & Northern Virginia Roots
I grew up in Burke, Virginia and graduated from Lake Braddock Secondary School, then earned my degree at James Madison University before starting my career as a Department of Defense analyst. Northern Virginia isn’t a market I learned — it’s home. That local fluency shows up in sub-market pricing, neighborhood-specific marketing, and the network of trusted vendors, contractors, attorneys, and lenders I work with across every NoVA jurisdiction.
Areas I Serve
Active listing and buyer representation across: Fairfax, Burke, Centreville, Springfield, Clifton, Vienna, Oakton, McLean, Great Falls, Reston, Herndon, Arlington, Alexandria (both Fairfax County and the City of Alexandria), Falls Church, Annandale, Ashburn, Leesburg, Sterling, Manassas, and Woodbridge. Sub-market specialization matters in Northern Virginia — I run a different pricing and marketing strategy for each one.
Specialty Practice Areas
Across 12+ years of Northern Virginia transactions, my practice has developed two areas of particular procedural depth:
Inherited property and estate sales. I am well-versed in the procedures that govern Virginia estate-property sales under Title 64.2 of the Code of Virginia (Wills, Trusts & Fiduciaries). I work regularly alongside Northern Virginia probate and estate attorneys, understand Certificates of Qualification, Certifications of Trust under Va. Code §64.2-804, the 4-month inventory and 16-month accounting timelines, multi-heir coordination, and Virginia partition actions. I handle executor, personal representative, and successor trustee clients — including out-of-state and overseas heirs. Read the full Estate Sale Guide →
Retiree relocation home sales. I work with long-tenured Northern Virginia homeowners selling to retire and relocate to Florida, the Carolinas, Tennessee, or Arizona. The workflow is built for dual-state coordination, Section 121 capital-gains planning, decades-of-belongings logistics, and remote document signing. I maintain a vetted destination-state REALTOR® network and partner with you to select the right buyer’s agent in your destination metro. Read the Retire & Relocate Guide →
Beyond those two areas, I also serve downsizers, divorce home sales, military PCS, move-up sellers, and luxury home sales across Fairfax County, Arlington, Loudoun, Prince William, Alexandria, and Falls Church.
How I Work With Clients
For Sellers
Every seller engagement starts with a free, no-obligation on-site valuation: written comps from the last 90 days, a defensible list-price range, a prep-budget recommendation tailored to your sub-market, and a written marketing plan you review before signing anything. My listings are typically under contract in 10–22 days with 99–102% list-to-sale ratios on correctly-priced homes.
For Buyers
Every buyer engagement starts with a short strategy conversation: budget, timeline, must-have neighborhoods, and the specific offer playbook that wins in each Northern Virginia sub-market. I work with local lenders, inspectors, and closing attorneys who know the Fairfax County and Arlington transaction dynamics and deliver on timeline.
The Redux Group of eXp Realty
I lead operations at The Redux Group — a high-production team brokered by eXp Realty, one of the largest real estate brokerages in North America. The Redux Group brings deep Northern Virginia transaction data, a full marketing team, and a professional support staff behind every listing and every buyer engagement. You get the focused attention of a solo agent and the infrastructure of a top production team.

Read the full Christian Real Estate Agent page.
Why hire a Christian real estate agent in Northern Virginia?
Clients often choose a Christian realtor because they want an agent whose ethical framework, communication style, and care for their family align with their values. For Northern Virginia sellers in particular — facing inherited-property decisions, retirement moves, downsizing after raising a family, or divorce — having an agent who treats your home sale with reverence, patience, and integrity matters as much as transaction skill. David brings both: 12+ years of full-time experience, $130M+ in lifetime sales, and a faith-driven approach to every client relationship.
Does David Mount serve clients who are not Christian?
Absolutely. David is honored to serve clients of every faith background and walk of life. His faith shapes how he works — with honesty, care, and patience — not who he works with. The majority of his 200+ clients have come from across the spiritual and cultural spectrum of Northern Virginia.
