Nya Alemayhu joins Sotheby’s International Realty after three-plus years of fast-track growth effectively doubling her sales each year, taking pride in serving all communities across the DMV. An Ethiopian-American and fluent in Amharic, Nya believes that successful real estate transactions are rooted in relationships – and that begins with listening to the client’s needs and wants.
Nya’s background is steeped in customer service. Prior to entering the world of real estate, she worked in the high-end retail industry, spending 10+ years building teams, developing relationships and opening stores for top national retailers. Nya remains passionate about service and is fully committed to a positive client experience.
In 2013, Nya started a yoga school, guiding her students toward alignment with their goals for holistic living. Still active in teaching yoga, she brings this same disciplined approach to guiding her real estate clients in their home-buying and selling journey.
In her spare time, Nya travels the world – Portugal and Addis Ababa were her two latest destinations – explores DMV’s vibrant restaurant and cultural scene, and goes on long walks with Maxie and Milo, her Maltese dogs. She lives in the Kalorama neighborhood of Washington, DC and loves discovering all the buzz that the DC metro area uniquely offers.
