In the tumultuous Washington, D.C. housing market, Maya Hyman seeks to be a steadying presence, offering years of experience and leadership in real estate.

The creative, calm, and strategic realtor combines trust and consistency in her work at Compass Real Estate. As part of the Maya&Kate Team, she leverages her firsthand knowledge of renovating her own homes to give clients the best possible care.

With deep roots in Washington, D.C., the Maya&Kate Team brings a combined 62 years of experience to the real estate market. The team provides in-depth industry knowledge and a deep commitment to service, serving some of the most prestigious neighborhoods in D.C., including Bethesda, Silver Spring, American University Park, Forest Hills, and Crestwood, among others.

Leadership Rooted in Clarity and Calm

Described as composed and steadfast, Hyman is both Vice President at Compass and co-lead of the Maya&Kate Team. At the company, she is valued for her “steady guidance, attention to detail, and proactive approach.” She has built a boutique real estate practice grounded in trust, consistency, and long-term relationships.

Her approach is grounded in active listening, managing complexity with ease, and clear communication. Her goal is to help clients feel heard every step of the way.

A Design-Informed Strategy

Hyman’s hands-on experience renovating her own homes shapes her professional lens. Through that process, she developed a deep appreciation for how thoughtful design and strategic improvements can dramatically enhance functionality, livability, and value.

As a result, she advises clients on seeing a home’s potential, not just its present. Hyman uses her practical and creative perspective to bring a new understanding to clients, advise on specific updates before the sale, or assist homeowners with revitalizing a well-loved space.

The Boutique Experience

The Maya&Kate Team offers a personalized approach curated more like an advisory relationship than a typical sales process. Clients work closely with Hyman and her team from start to finish, receiving customized support tailored to their unique goals and timelines.

The ultimate goal, Hyman claims, is for homebuyers or sellers to feel clear and confident in the process, whether the task is identifying the right opportunity or positioning a home for top value.

Personal Philosophy With Professional Impact

Hyman believes progress does not require perfection, but thoughtful planning, a clear vision, and the patience to wait for the right opportunity. She brings this belief into every client interaction, helping people make intentional decisions that reflect how they truly want to live.

She focuses on the potential, choosing an optimistic path forward while also keeping in mind the long view that will help her clients achieve their goals. With her hopeful philosophy and grounded professionalism, Hyman reaches for success.

Building for the Future

Hyman strives to expand the team’s advisory services in the future. She envisions the company growing so they can support clients not just at the point of sale, but throughout their homeownership journey.

Personalization and the high-touch approach are central to Hyman’s boutique services. As her business expands, she holds those values in high regard. She wants to continue “building a business known for integrity, insight, and genuine care.”
