A native of Frederick, Maryland , Devon Makrides offers solid real estate knowledge, a wealth of contacts, valuable community volunteer experience, and a warm, outgoing personality that puts his clients at ease and inspires confidence. He works with clients of all ages, from first-time buyers to empty-nesters, in all price ranges, and in all types of housing from single-family homes to condominiums.

“To be most effective, I want to be passionate about what I am doing,” Devon states. “The real estate sales industry moves quickly, demanding results; but with customer service at its core, it is still a very relationship-centered business, and that’s how I’ve operated my entire professional life.”

It’s important to Devon to work for people whose mission he believes in whole-heartedly. “When I transitioned to real estate sales, I chose to work with The Maryland Group because while it stands out as a leader in the residential market, it continues to place a heavy focus on building relationships with clients.”

Devon's approach to sales is simple. “No one wants to feel like they’re being pitched something; they want to know that you’ve listened and heard their needs,” he explains. “Understanding what a client wants, and furnishing them with the necessary facts to make an informed decision, that is what makes a transaction enjoyable for all parties.

Solution- and resolution-oriented, highly communicative, and driven to provide outstanding service, Devon thrives on working in residential real estate sales. “I love what a new home represents for my buyers; a new start, new beginnings, creating new memories. And I get so much satisfaction from seeing my sellers achieve a milestone as they make a successful home sale and move to the next chapter in their lives.”
