Long & Foster Real Estate, the largest independent residential real estate company in the United States, is pleased to announce that the Wydler Brothers’ Hans Wydler was named Best Real Estate Agent by Bethesda Magazine.

Each year, Bethesda Magazine invites its readers to vote for their favorite businesses and services, including real estate agents, and the winners were named to the magazine’s 2015 Best of Bethesda list. In addition to Wydler being named Best Real Estate Agent, a number of Long & Foster agents were nominated for the award, including Margie Halem, Lynda O’Dea and Traci Levine.

“This is a fantastic honor for the Wydler Brothers Team, and they exemplify what it means to be highly trained, dedicated agents who serve their clients well. We are proud they are part of the Long & Foster family,” said Gary Scott, president of Long & Foster Real Estate. “We’re also proud of Margie, Lynda and Traci for their nominations. For more than 45 years, our agents have helped buyers and sellers reach their homeownership goals by being the most knowledgeable in the markets they serve, providing the highest level of customer service and having the latest technology at their fingertips, and it’s these efforts that enable us to remain the top real estate company in the Mid-Atlantic.”

The 2015 Best of Bethesda list was published in the January/February 2015 issue of Bethesda Magazine, which is now on newsstands. The list will also be posted online at www.BethesdaMagazine.com in early March.
