Because Trust Matters…

At Spera, our name means hope, trust, and guardian—and we don’t take that lightly. When you place your dreams in our care, we treat them as if they were our own

You’re not just buying or selling a house. You’re making one of the most important decisions of your life, and facing that decision by yourself might feel overwhelming. As a seller, you might be unsure how to price your home, what upgrades to make, or how to find a realtor you can actually trust. As buyer, you may be feeling pressure to make a move before you’re ready, worried about choosing the wrong home, or struggling to understand financing. It’s only natural to feel that way; many people feel lost in the process, and that’s exactly where we come in.

I’m Troy Patterson, and I’ve helped hundreds of buyers, sellers, and investors across the DMV navigate complex real estate decisions for nearly two decades. With a background in nonprofit leadership and deep ties to this community, I bring both strategic insight and a commitment to service that runs deep.

At The Spera Group, we start with you. We take time to understand your goals, your concerns, and the life you’re trying to build. Then, we create a tailored plan around your timeline, your budget, and your future. Our approach isn’t about pressure or quick wins. It’s about providing clear, honest guidance so you feel confident every step of the way. You’ll get expert negotiation to protect your bottom line, marketing that gets your property in front of the right people, and a team that communicates every detail so nothing gets missed. We also offer access to trusted vendors and resources to make your move easier and more cost-effective.

You deserve more than a transaction—you deserve someone who treats your goals like their own. If you’re ready to talk about your next step, book a 1-on-1 strategy call, explore our free valuation and MLS search tools, or just reach out with your questions. We’re here, and we’d be honored to help you.

What Our Clients Are Saying...

"I have worked with Troy twice and both times he not only showed a great level of professionalism when dealing with difficult situations but he also showed me a great level of compassion. My latest purchase was my first investment property in the middle of a public health emergency and he walked me through the entire process. He referred me to a wonderful and very knowledgeable lender and I cannot imagine going through such a major purchase without his input. Troy is the realtor that I will always refer my friends and family to and if anyone is serious and smart they will use him as their realtor. I look forward to working with him again in the future."

- Renika R.

"Troy was wonderful to work with! He provided excellent expertise on the local neighborhoods, insightful commentary on potential properties, viewed over 30 properties with me, and helped me to close on the perfect home that had an unusual and challenging closing process. Despite dealing with bizarre building conditions that impacted my ability to secure a loan, Troy managed to help me navigate the process to close within the 30-day time period, as specified in my purchasing agreement. He also provided valuable advice to ensure I purchased a home that was within my ability to maintain the property."

- Tracey S.

"Everyone's vision of their dream home is different. I wanted a total gut renovation project. Where was open. Troy listened and never second-guessed my requests or needs. He instead used feedback on properties to gauge what was important to me and we ultimately found the place that was perfect (or would be when I was done) for me. He was patient through several rounds of negotiations and protected me when the sellers tried to insert language that would have been harmful to my long-term interests. I highly recommend Troy!"
