Meet April

I’m April Contee—Principal Broker, Founder of EXQ Real Estate.

Since becoming a licensed REALTOR® in 2007, I’ve been committed to redefining the real estate experience through clarity, strategy, and client-first service.

In 2015, I launched EXQ with a clear vision: to deliver an intentional, client-centered approach where your goals guide every move. At EXQ, seamless process meets purposeful strategy—backed by expert insight and a network of trusted partners.

With deep expertise in the DC and Maryland markets, I offer strong negotiation skills, thoughtful guidance, and a curated experience tailored to each client. Whether buying, selling, or investing, my clients make smart, long-term decisions—and I’m here to support them with discretion, confidence, and care at every step.

A refined approach, designed with intention. At EXQ Real Estate, every step is tailored to reflect your vision, your pace, and your priorities—guided with clarity, discretion, and quiet confidence.

We begin with conversation and insight. In a focused consultation, we listen closely to understand your goals whether you are buying, selling, or investing. From there, we craft a tailored strategy that is as thoughtful as it is effective.

With purpose and precision, we move forward. Whether listing your property with an editorial-level presentation, navigating the market with discernment, or identifying strategic investment opportunities—every action is intentional and expertly led.

Behind the scenes, the process runs smoothly. With dedicated back-office expertise, contracts, timelines, and compliance are handled with care and precision—so you can stay focused on what matters most.

A successful close is more than a transaction—it is a meaningful milestone. We mark the moment with genuine warmth and understated celebration, honoring the journey that brought you here.
