    A Recent Off-Market Luxury Sale

    Rosemont, Alexandria VA townhome sold off-market by David Mount in 2025
    A $1,050,000 townhome in Alexandria’s Rosemont neighborhood, sold entirely off-market in 2025.

    Discretion isn’t a talking point for me—it’s how I’ve actually sold. In 2025 I represented the sellers of a $1,050,000 townhome in Alexandria’s Rosemont neighborhood and closed it entirely off-market. We listed it as “Coming Soon” and allowed no showings at all, then accepted a strong sight-unseen offer—so my sellers never had to open their home to dozens of strangers or disrupt their daily lives. The result was full value, complete privacy, and a smooth, low-stress sale that earned a five-star review.

    If you own a higher-end home in Northern Virginia and value privacy as much as price, that’s the kind of quiet, controlled sale I can run for you. Call or text David at 571-946-8418 or email david.mount@thereduxgroup.com.

    Where I bring luxury experience in Northern Virginia

    Real luxury authority is provable, not asserted. Here is where I have personally represented sellers or buyers in higher-end Northern Virginia transactions.

    Featured case: 7510 Willowbrook Rd, Fairfax Station — $1.3 million, sold at full asking price in one week

    In 2023 I represented the sellers of a six-bedroom luxury home with an in-ground pool on Willowbrook Rd in Fairfax Station. We took it to market with the full luxury playbook: virtual dusk photography, professional 2D floor plans, immersive 3D tours, and drone photography — with the pool showcased prominently in the marketing, because that is exactly what high-end Fairfax Station buyers come looking for.

    The result was decisive. We received two offers and sold at full asking price within one week. The accepted buyer had a home of their own to sell — the kind of contingency that quietly kills high-priced deals if it is not managed carefully. I worked the contingency diligently to mitigate the risk of contract fall-out, and I negotiated a rent-back so the sellers could stay in their home while they pursued their next purchase rather than being forced into a rushed move.

    It was a very smooth sale and the sellers were genuinely happy — which is the only outcome that matters when you are selling a home at this price point.

    Other recent Northern Virginia luxury and off-market deals

    • Alexandria — Rosemont: represented the seller on a $1,050,000 townhome closed entirely off-market in 2025. Listed as Coming Soon, no public showings, accepted a strong sight-unseen offer.
    • Fairfax — Eleven Oaks: represented the buyer on a $1.3 million off-market home in 2026 — a sale that never hit the public market, sourced through my luxury-buyer network.
    • Fairfax — Penderbrook: represented the buyer on a $1.03 million off-market purchase in 2022 that I sourced directly with owners who were not listed. I have also represented sellers in this golf-course community.
    • Fairfax — Fairfax Villa and Greenbriar: listing-side seller representation in established Fairfax single-family communities, including a recent Fairfax Villa sale for a military family relocating on orders.
    • Coming August 2026 — Westmore (Fairfax): new-construction listing coming to market. Available now for pre-list conversations with serious buyers.

    If your home sits in McLean, Great Falls, Vienna, Falls Church, Arlington, Loudoun, or anywhere else in Northern Virginia, I would welcome a quiet conversation about the strategy that fits your home, your timeline, and your privacy.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Selling Luxury Real Estate in Northern Virginia

    What is the luxury real estate market like in Northern Virginia in 2026?

    The luxury market in Northern Virginia remains strong in 2026, particularly in McLean, Great Falls, Vienna, and Arlington. Properties priced above $1.5 million are attracting interest from international buyers, tech executives, government officials, and military leadership. David Mount tracks luxury market data closely and provides sellers with accurate pricing strategies based on current comparable sales.

    How do you market a luxury home differently than a standard listing?

    Luxury properties require a completely different marketing approach. David Mount uses eXp Luxury’s global platform to distribute listings to premium channels, creates cinematic video tours, builds dedicated property websites, and targets high-net-worth buyer demographics through digital advertising. Standard MLS listing alone is not sufficient for homes in this price range.

    Can I sell my luxury home privately without a public listing?

    Yes. David Mount offers off-market and pocket listing strategies for sellers who require maximum privacy. Through his professional network and eXp Luxury’s agent-to-agent channels, he can connect with qualified buyers without exposing your property publicly. In 2025, for example, David sold a $1,050,000 townhome in Alexandria’s Rosemont neighborhood entirely off-market: listed as Coming Soon with no showings, accepting a strong sight-unseen offer. In addition, David has represented buyers on off-market luxury purchases in Fairfax — including a $1.3 million off-market home in Eleven Oaks in 2026 — so he knows how quiet deals come together on both sides of the table. That two-sided network is exactly what makes a private sale viable for a seller who never wants a public listing.

    How long does it take to sell a luxury home in Northern Virginia?

    Luxury properties typically take longer to sell than homes at median price points because the buyer pool is smaller and more selective. In 2026, well-priced luxury homes in Northern Virginia are averaging 30 to 90 days on market. David Mount’s pricing strategy and targeted marketing are designed to attract serious buyers efficiently.

    What should I do to prepare my luxury home for sale?

    David Mount coordinates a pre-listing preparation plan that may include professional staging, landscape enhancements, and addressing deferred maintenance. For luxury properties, first impressions are everything — and David’s trusted vendor network ensures your home presents at its absolute best.
