"We were referred to Rory by recommendation of a friend, and we're so glad we made that connection! Rory was ultra-responsive, thorough, approachable, and had great strategic advice on how to approach our bid. As first time buyers, we had a lot of dumb and/or obvious questions, and Rory answered them all (and did so clearly, and with infinite patience for our follow ups). We found our dream house and won on our first offer. Will definitely be passing his name to any friends of ours looking to buy in the area!" - Meredith R.

"Rory is patient, thoughtful, kind, and he CARES about what you want when you are looking for a home. We were lucky enough to have worked with Rory for over a year before finding our home - we saw dozens of listings over the span of 12 months, but he never once complained about the time and effort he was spending with us because he was determined to help find us our first home. Rory is easy to work with, honest, and just all around a good person - the type of person you want to stay friends with after the process is over because he's just that great. Thank you, Rory, for everything you've done for us and for helping us find our first home. We're forever grateful. And don't worry, we'll be back next time!" - Patrick S.
Specialties
Education
With almost a decade in real estate, Rory Obletz ranks as a top agent in the area, year after year. Licensed in DC, Maryland, and Virginia, he’s lived in the area for 20 years and brings a wealth of experience in many different neighborhoods.
Rory began his career in pharmaceutical sales. When he purchased his first home in 2012, he realized that real estate was his calling. After an uncomfortable relationship with a pushy agent, Rory knew he wanted to do things differently. His goal is to be completely transparent and gather the right information to help his clients make the most informed, educated decision. He asks his clients targeted questions, really listens, then comes up with a plan for their success. Rory knows that real estate is a huge investment, and he ensures his clients understand the entire process and encounter no surprises.
Rory grew up on Long Island, studied business and marketing at American University, and spent a semester abroad in Australia. After a canyon swing in New Zealand (which is like bungee jumping), he realized he’d never do that again. Now he lives in Potomac with his two children and his wife, a long-time teacher. In his spare time, you’ll find him walking the dog, hanging out at the pool with his daughters or visiting his family around the country.
