CLARKSVILLE, Md., Feb. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Northrop Realty, a premier real estate brokerage serving Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington, D.C., and North Carolina, proudly celebrates its 25th anniversary. From the inspirational beginning that launched one of the most successful real estate teams to becoming one of the region's most respected brokerages, the Northrop Realty journey is a testament to vision, resilience, and unwavering commitment to excellence.
A Legacy of Achievement
Founded in 2000 by Creig and Carla Northrop as The Creig Northrop Team, the business began with a dream and a single park bench conversation that sparked a passion for personalized client services and an innovative approach to real estate. The Creig Northrop Team quickly grew into Maryland's #1 real estate team. Recognized nationally three times as the top team in the nation by RealTrends and the Wall Street Journal, the Creig Northrop Team evolved into Northrop Realty, a full-service brokerage, in 2018, ushering in a new era of growth and opportunity. In 2019, their first full year, Northrop Realty became the number one specialty brokerage in the nation in RealTrends.
In 2025, Northrop Realty headquartered in Clarksville, MD now boasts 17 regional offices, including five in Delaware and two in North Carolina, and 400+ real estate professionals. As a multi-billion dollar full-service brokerage, Northrop Realty has been named a top place to work in both Maryland and Delaware.
A Vision for the Future
"When we started this journey on a park bench in Ocean City, we knew we had something special," said Creig Northrop, Founder and CEO of Northrop Realty. "What's remained constant is our dedication to our clients, surrounding ourselves with the best professionals in real estate, and serving the communities that we call home. As we celebrate this milestone, we look forward to continuing our legacy of excellence and innovation for many more years to come."
"We grew our team one person at a time," said Carla Northrop, CEO of Northrop Realty. "The important part of building this business was to ensure that the culture of inclusion and sharing of knowledge was at the forefront. The success of Northrop Realty is shared with every real estate professional who has been part of our journey."
"Long & Foster has long prided itself as a company where real estate agents can build a lifelong career, and there's no better example of our success than Creig and Carla Northrop," said Patrick Bain, CEO and president of The Long & Foster Companies. "Creig and Carla joined our brokerage as a small team that soon became one of the nation's top and Northrop Realty is now a market-leading brokerage—and still part of our Long & Foster family. I'm truly impressed with all Creig, Carla and their team have achieved over the years and congratulate them on their 25th anniversary."
