Walter & Alex Woodson are excited to have just joined forces with Middleburg Real Estate and Atoka Properties, the oldest and most prestigious real estate firm in the area. They will be working in company offices in Middleburg, Purcellville and Leesburg, bringing the highest levels of service and integrity to their clients.

In addition to their specific real estate experiences and expertise, the Woodsons bring a unique array of talents to the table to support their clients.

A cum laude graduate of New York University and Manhattan native, Alex worked for nearly a decade in the intelligence community where her discretion was key and where her organizational, analytical and communications skills were honed, and which she applies now in her work for clients.

While raising her family, Alex was extremely active in her community, in her child's school, in various civic and social groups and within her church. Most recently, she served on the Vestry and as Junior Warden at Trinity Episcopal Church in Upperville and on the board of the Upperville Garden Club. She also is an active member of the Middleburg Garden Club. Alex and Walter were asked and served for three years on the Parents' Council of their daughter's school; Sewanee: The University of the South.

About to enter his 10th year in real estate, Walter's work runs the gamut from upper end estates, to family-oriented homes, to weekend getaways for those lucky enough to escape to the country. He also handles select land sales.

Also a graduate of New York University, Walter spent 25 years in governmental and public affairs, most recently as Senior Vice President of a major national trade group and then as COO and Secretary/Treasurer of another highpowered lobbying firm. These posts required significant managerial, budgetary, communications, public relations, marketing/advertising and political skills.

Walter began his DC career serving as legislative director for a senior member of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Walter, a native North Carolinian – but with deep Virginia roots going back to 1600s – moved with Alex to Alexandria, Virginia, in 1979. They moved to Middleburg in 2004.
