Douglas Morningstar

REALTOR®

Douglas uses his past experiences in consulting and financial services to bring unique value to his clients. A strong attention to detail and personal touch define how Douglas approaches his business. He works to understand client needs and matches those needs to potential homes and neighborhoods.

Douglas has experienced Washington from many neighborhoods that have been home through the years including Foggy Bottom, Glover Park, Capitol Hill, Friendship Heights, the West End and his current location in Dupont Circle. He is familiar with many other areas of the city as well and recognizes the uniqueness of each. He is excited with the changes that are making Washington an amazing and diverse place to call home whether it’s a studio in a glass high-rise or a renovated row house in an up and coming neighborhood.

Prior to his real estate career, Douglas worked at Fannie Mae and gained valuable insight into mortgage financing and the housing market. This experience also helped solidify his attention to detail and strong customer service focus by working with all levels throughout the organization. He has experienced the ups and downs of the mortgage market and understands how important it is for clients to make the right decisions when buying or selling a home.

When not working with buyers and sellers, Douglas spends his time honing his cooking skills while entertaining friends and family. He spends as much time as possible with his dogs, Sundae and Camden, and he and his partner travel whenever there is an opportunity with Paris being a favorite city.


Outstanding experience working with Jenn and Doug. They helped me find the perfect luxury condo, and I’m thoroughly enjoying the lifestyle it offers.

"Jenn and Doug were professional, attentive, and truly understood what I sought. Their expertise and dedication made the process smooth and stress-free. I couldn’t be happier with my new home. Highly recommend Jenn and Doug to anyone seeking exceptional service."

Doug was professional and resourceful.

"Doug was attentive and helpful. He was realistic and offered advice on units to look at and what the state of the market was, helping to strategize whether to counteroffer, etc. He's an agent who genuinely wants to help you find an ideal home rather than just make a quick commission."
— Abhijit Khanna

Doug knew how to help us define what we wanted.

"It took us several tries--at least three--before finding Douglas Morningstar, our quietly remarkable real estate representative at Compass. But it was worth it. Reassuring from the start, Doug knew how to help us define what we wanted, and, more importantly, needed, and consistently sent us helpful photographic material illustrating the variety of apartments within our parameters that Compass had to offer. Doug backed this up with visits to properties, often at a moment's notice, with detailed knowledge and with constant support. Patient in the extreme and unobtrusive, he was always "there" for us over the several-year period during which we looked for our "pied Ă  terre." And he found it for us. Practically perfect according to our requirements. Moreover, he managed to pull together all the administrative strings necessary to secure a closing on a very tight schedule. In short, we lucked out. Just by chance we saw a Compass sign, and just by chance we came to know and respect Doug. But chance only goes so far. In this case, coincidence was backed up by sophisticated expertise, widespread connections and technical innovation. And we now look forward with pleasure to enjoying our new home and--to having found a new friend."
