Joe Serafin

Joe Serafin was born and raised in Northern Virginia, and he has spent more than two decades selling and leasing the commercial real estate he grew up around.

A Virginia Tech graduate, Joe earned his real estate license in 2005. He built his early career at McWilliams Ballard representing multifamily developers and investors, including The Carlyle Group, JBG, and FinMarc, and at one point held licenses in six states up and down the East Coast.

In 2019, Joe founded Serafin Real Estate in Leesburg to bring that institutional experience home. His vision was simple: owners in Loudoun, Fairfax, and Prince William Counties deserve institutional-level representation from a broker who knows the local market block by block. One of the firm's first transactions was a $22 million childcare portfolio sale.

Today Joe has personally closed more than $1.3 billion in transactions, and Serafin Real Estate ranks #1 in Loudoun County for commercial volume sold and is a five-time Best of Loudoun winner. He focuses on the property types that take the most expertise to value and market: early education and childcare centers, churches and faith-based properties, owner-user buildings, NNN investments, and special-use assets.

His approach is data-driven. Every engagement starts with a broker opinion of value built on local comparables and market analytics, followed by a marketing campaign designed to put the property in front of the right buyer or tenant. Most of his clients are owners and landlords, and Joe stays personally involved from pricing through closing.

Joe serves on the board of MAREMA, the Mid Atlantic Real Estate Marketing Association, and has presented on technology in commercial real estate at its annual conference for several years. Outside the office, he spends his time with his family and on the golf course.
