About Derry

Derry Haws is an international real estate professional whose life and career have been shaped by global experiences and a passion for people. Born in Bronxville, New York, she traveled the world from childhood, receiving her education in New York, Milan, Madrid, the Swiss Alps, London, and Surrey. This multicultural foundation, combined with over 30 years in film, television, and music—including training at the BBC and work alongside icons such as Freddie Mercury, Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, and David Bowie’s makeup team—gives Derry a uniquely creative and strategic perspective. Since 2004, Derry has built a trusted real estate business serving clients across Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. Her work is almost entirely referral‑based, a reflection of her integrity, deep knowledge, and consistent results. She listens closely, helps clients envision possibilities, and approaches every transaction with a balance of professionalism, friendliness, and genuine care. Derry’s thoughtful nature is reflected in her signature gesture: planting a tree for each client at settlement—a living symbol of growth, roots, and new beginnings. With her international background, seasoned experience, and client‑first philosophy, Derry’s mission is simple: to guide every client with clarity, creativity, and heart—and to leave them smiling.
