No. 1 Real Estate Firm Brings Together Leading Teams in Tysons, Vienna
Long & Foster Real Estate, the nation’s No. 1 real estate firm*, has merged its top-ranking Vienna and Tysons offices at a brand-new facility in the Town of Vienna. The company, which was founded in Fairfax County, has merged the two teams under the leadership of award-winning real estate broker Fetneh Schacht.
Agents and employees gathered at the grand opening celebration and ribbon-cutting ceremony at the office on October 12. Guests included Linda J Colbert, mayor of Vienna, Virginia and Gerry Connolly, congressman of Virginia’s 11th District. Also in attendance were members of Long & Foster’s leadership team, Jeffrey Detwiler, CEO of The Long & Foster Companies, Larry “Boomer” Foster, president of Long & Foster Real Estate, and Karen Kidwell, senior vice president and regional manager for Long & Foster’s Northern Virginia and West Virginia regions.
“Long & Foster has a long history of success in Fairfax County, where we opened our first office over five decades ago,” said Larry “Boomer” Foster, president of Long & Foster Real Estate. “I’m confident we’ll build on these results, even better supporting local buyers, sellers and renters, with our powerhouse teams in Vienna and Tysons, now working as one.”
Schacht has been part of Long & Foster for more than three decades, and she brings expansive knowledge of the industry and the local market. She manages a diverse group of top-rated Realtors, and she leverages her career expertise, plus her degrees in marketing and international relations, to help the agents in her office to succeed. Schacht teaches many advanced training courses for her sales associates and is a Certified Real Estate Broker (CRB) and a Buffini mentor. She is licensed in Virginia, Maryland and DC, and she continually evaluates and implements new ways to support her agents in advancing their careers.
“Helping Realtors succeed in their careers is my passion—it not only brings success in their lives, but also helps the community, by helping people find their places to call home,” said Schacht. “I’m excited to now support even more real estate agents grow their businesses and support their clients whether they’re buying, selling or renting in Fairfax County and beyond.”
“With our new office and combined teams, we’re building a powerhouse location and leadership team for real estate agents in Fairfax County, with a state-of-the-art facility that creates tremendous opportunities for Realtors, from collaboration and business development to training and education,” said Karen Kidwell, senior vice president of Long & Foster Real Estate’s Northern Virginia and West Virginia regions. “Additionally, our office’s prime location in the Town of Vienna near Tysons makes it easy for agents and their clients to meet and connect with each other, all in one of the hottest markets in the country.”
Combined, the two teams sold over $650 million in real estate in 2021 and rank among Long & Foster’s top 10 locations companywide.
