About Bethesda Brokers
Maryland & DC's premier attorney-owner real estate brokerage providing legal protection in every transaction with specialized expertise in complex real estate and Medicaid planning.
Our Story: Filling a Critical Gap
Bethesda Brokers was founded with a simple but powerful mission: to provide families with the unique combination of legal expertise and real estate knowledge needed to navigate complex transitions while protecting their most valuable assets.
Too often, families facing eldercare decisions are forced to work with multiple professionals who don't communicate effectively, leading to costly mistakes and missed opportunities. Our attorney-managed approach ensures every transaction is reviewed with legal precision while maintaining the personal touch of a boutique brokerage.
We saw families struggling with questions like:
"How do we sell mom's house without affecting her Medicaid eligibility?"
"Can we protect dad's assets while ensuring he gets the care he needs?"
"What are the legal implications of this real estate transaction?"
"How do we navigate both real estate and Medicaid rules simultaneously?"
Our answer was simple: combine the expertise under one roof with a licensed attorney who also happens to be a licensed real estate broker.
