Given the fast-paced lifestyle of Northern Virginia, it’s a relief to work with someone who can simplify your journey while delivering expertise across multiple disciplines. With over 18 years of experience and more than $60 million in real estate sold, Desiree Gribschaw blends the talents of a seasoned real estate agent, interior designer, and staging expert to help clients buy and sell with confidence.
Desiree has built her business on local knowledge, design intuition, and client advocacy. As a longtime Northern Virginia resident and Army spouse of over 20 years, she deeply understands the unique challenges of military relocation. Whether helping a buyer explore options in a single day—or purchasing sight unseen—Desiree is known for her tireless dedication, often working from dawn to dusk to ensure her clients are fully informed and completely satisfied.
She’s also cultivated a trusted network of contractors, painters, electricians, and landscapers, all committed to maximizing your home's market appeal and value. Sellers benefit from her eye for design and strategy; buyers gain a vision for what a property can become. Her passion for renovation and design allows her to help clients see a home's potential beyond its current state.
A graduate of Sweet Briar College, Desiree began her career in the financial sector before transitioning into mortgage lending, land development, investing, and property management. In 2006, she joined Gilded Manor as a designer and has since merged her business and design experience into a comprehensive real estate practice.
She has been a resident of Northern Virginia since 2006. She is married and has two amazing daughters. Her husband grew up in the area, attending West Springfield High School. When she is not living and breathing real estate, she likes to garden, travel for design inspiration, relax at the beach, cook gourmet meals, enjoy fine foods, and craft delicious cocktails!
