About Molly
A blurry photo of a street scene with a light

From the beginning, Molly has had an entrepreneurial spirit and would sell almost anything that was not nailed down; her lunch or her sweaters: sold! With booming businesses in babysitting, gardening, dog walking, and housesitting, at the age of 11 she had earned over $1,000 in one summer alone. She was reluctant to go to summer camp because she knew her market share would be diminished greatly by going to camp in the Poconos.


Molly grew up in Norwalk, Connecticut, and attended the performing arts high school Interlochen Arts Academy in Traverse City, MI where she was awarded the distinguished honor of winning the Young Artist Award of 1969. She earned her B.A. at Sarah Lawrence College where she was a Rockefeller Fellow in Womenā€™s History.


Mollyā€™s post-grad move to Washington, DC was generated by her passion for womenā€™s equity concerns. She worked for several non-profits dealing with pay equity for women. This led to being invited to develop the first political column in a national womenā€™s magazine and becoming the first Washington editor of GLAMOUR Magazine. That year she was highlighted as one of GLAMOURā€™s 10 Women to Watch. Later, Molly went on to produce the Washington-based Charlie Rose television program.


Molly honed her business acumen by owning and operating five Davidā€™s Cookie stores in the DC area. Between locating, leasing, and negotiating on all the storefronts, she discovered her passion for real estate and thus began her career in 1987. Since day one she has brought her patience, listening skills, and friendly demeanor to every transaction. She has remained a top producer and notable member of the Washington area real estate community for over three decades. 


Mollyā€™s love of problem-solving, strategic planning, market knowledge, and becoming a partner with her customers ā€“ helping them find their place in the world ā€” continues to delight her.


Molly is married to Jeffrey Jay, a psychotherapist, with whom she has four children, and they live in Bethesda. She is actively involved with the giving group Many Hands, hiking, rug hooking, storytelling, and the arts community.
