Two agents.
One standard.

Not an assistant. Not a showing coordinator. Olivia and Spencer are present at every walkthrough, every offer, and every closing, providing the kind of attentive, honest representation that earns clients for life.

Our story

A partnership rooted in this city - and in doing right by our clients.

The Olivia Merlino Group came together because two of DC's top-performing agents shared something more important than a business strategy: the same values. Both Olivia and Spencer are native Washingtonians who grew up on Capitol Hill, and both built their careers on a foundation of honest, data-driven counsel.

What you get when you work with us is access to both of us - not an assistant, not a showing coordinator. We are present at every walkthrough, every offer, every negotiation, and every closing.

Our combined track record reflects what happens when local expertise meets genuine dedication: consistent above-ask results for sellers, buyers who feel confident in every decision they make, and clients who come back - and send their friends.

What we believe

The principles we work by.

Honest counsel

We give every client the same clear, informed perspective we would want for ourselves. You can trust that what we tell you reflects the market and your best interests, not what is easiest to say.

Results backed by data

Every pricing recommendation, every offer strategy, every negotiation position is grounded in market data. Gut feelings are for other agents. We trade in numbers.

You get us, not a team

When you hire the Olivia Merlino Group, you work with Olivia and Spencer - directly, personally, and throughout the entire process.
