Nya Alemayhu comes to Compass from the high-end retail industry, where she spent 15 years building teams, developing relationships, and opening stores for some of the country's top retailers. Nya is passionate about service and fully committed to the client experience. An Ethiopian-American fluent in Amharic, Nya specializes in assisting those with language barriers to find their perfect home. She is attentive, driven, intuitive, and dedicated to going the extra mile to meet her clients’ needs.

Embracing her entrepreneurial spirit and seeking the fulfillment that comes from helping others, Nya started a yoga company where she guides her students toward alignment with their goals for holistic living; she brings this same approach to guiding her real estate clients in their home buying and selling. When she's not working, Nya enjoys exploring the world, leading weekly yoga classes, and taking long walks with her beloved Maltese dogs, Max and Milo. Her love for the Chevy Chase neighborhood and her continuous discovery of the DC metro area reflect her deep connection to the community. This personal touch is what makes Nya more than just a realtor, but a trusted community member.
