About Derry
Working under pressure, meeting deadlines, and caring for people's reputations are just as much a part of Derry's experience as a Realtor® today as when she was a makeup artist.
Derry and her husband relocated from London to Georgetown in 1998 and remodeled their historic home on N street, so not only is she familiar with relocation first-hand but she completely understands and can advise on the process that is involved in remodeling historic homes. Derry's international experience, a keen ear for listening to her clients' needs, and a keen eye for helping her clients visualize possibilities are just a few of the qualities that Derry brings to the table. She is passionate, caring, knowledgeable, and professional and able to find creative solutions to challenges.
This past year has given her a sense of great pleasure as she provided each of her buyers or sellers a gift of a tree at settlement.
With every home, a tree is planted.

Derry's Reviews
6/28/25Dionne Anderson
This review is far overdo. When Derry Haws was referred to me by a family member, I could not image at that time, the journey I was about to embark on with Derry. She did more than meet expectations, she knocked them out of the park. Derry is very knowledgeable and a true expert of her field. She is a remarkable Agent who deserves all the Koodo's. She listens to hear exactly what your needs are and make suggestions, while also giving options that will better help you meet those needs. She is professional, patient, kind, and caring. She also brings with her a database of remarkable vendors who she has maintained relationships with for years. Now that speaks volumes in itself. She not only helped me sell my home family home, but also assisted me through one of the toughest changes in my life. I will be forever grateful to Derry for all the services she provided and all the hats that she wore during our journey together. Thank you so much for everything Derry and I wish you the best in all your future endeavors. You will truly miss out if you do not select Derry Haws as your agent.

Derry Haws
Derry Haws came highly recommended and we were not disappointed. She has a vast and deep knowledge of the business of real estate, resources and professional relationships that makes for good results as well as having a sterling reputation for ethical conduct. Her timeliness, communication style and attention to detail was extraordinary during the selling of an inherited home located in the Washington, D.C. area. The sale was complicated by the fact that the seller, who is my niece, lives on the west coast and throughout the entire process was dealing with significant health concerns. With my niece’s consent, Derry included me as my niece’s support system to assist in my niece meeting the deadlines that led to the successful sale of the home. Derry has exquisite taste and the home was beautifully staged which contributed to the successful sale of the house within a few days of the pictures being posted. We highly recommend her services.

For fifteen years we have worked with Derry Haws renting and selling our homes in Washington DC. She has always produced excellent results, often on short notice. Most recently, she helped us prepare and market our rental property after our existing tenants abruptly left in late summer 2023. Mindful that the summer rental season was slipping away, she put our minds at ease and went into action. She immediately reached out to contractors who got the house ready to show in a minimum amount of time. She started her marketing campaign the moment the old tenants moved out, finding excellent prospects within a week. She quickly found viable alternatives to clients who dragged their feet and put off decisions. In the end, despite the advent of fall and the school year, she closed the deal with new renters, less than two months after putting the house on the market.
Derry’s marketing savvy is unmatched. She not only used on-line resources effectively but mobilized a wide network of contacts. She showed uncanny skill in identifying prospects most likely to be serious about our particular property. She earned the confidence of everyone with whom she worked, thanks to her frequent and clear communication. We were kept informed every step of the way and, drawing on her timely information, were able to make decisions promptly. Derry also made sure we understood District of Columbia regulatory requirements, so we could avoid any missteps that might slow down the leasing process. She repeatedly showed her keen eye for detail, suggesting key improvements to make the property more attractive, both on the interior and the exterior.
We would recommend Derry without hesitation for both sales and rentals in the DC metro area. Anyone who works with her can look forward to a positive, collaborative process and successful outcome. Stephen Kontos & Janet Miller
