As a native Washingtonian, Carlos Reyes’ journey in the real estate industry began more than 15 years ago when he started an online real estate company. Since then, he’s helped more than 700 individuals and families as a real estate broker achieve their real estate goals across Virginia, Maryland and Washington, DC. Carlos now helps real estate agents grow their business and has assisted in the development of the “How2” Series, which teaches business fundamentals, execution and leadership.

Recognizing the diversity of the metro DC area, Carlos founded Smart Settlements in 2004 with the goal of providing multi-lingual settlement agents and a high-quality client experience at a convenient location. Smart has conducted more than 20,000 settlements to date.

Beyond the settlement table, Carlos’ work extends into residential property development totaling over 500 million dollars and investing in real estate-related start-ups. His investments have included MMR and I-Agent. Carlos’ most recent investment was Zoccam, the industry leader in delivering client proceeds from settlements. This work led him to start a multi-million dollar real estate fund in 2017 focused on real estate developers' short-term capital needs.

Outside of the office, Carlos seeks to improve and give back to the community by donating to area non-profits, including Jill’s House and Casa Chirilagua. Carlos enjoys traveling, wine tasting, chess and spending time with his wife and two children.
