About the Listing Agent
Trish Sweeney
Compass
Meet Trish, your go-to agent who truly understands the meaning of "home." While she's been a resident of Bethesda, Maryland, for the better part of her life (she even lives in the house she grew up in!), her career journey is anything but small-town. After graduating college (B.S., Finance and Economics), Trish spent years soaking up the country's best cities—from the beaches of San Diego and Los Angeles to the bustling scenes of Chicago and Nashville. This unique, diverse experience gives her an insider's perspective on what makes a place a perfect fit. Prior to beginning her career in real estate in 2021, Trish mastered the art of high-stakes negotiation during her 25+ years in hotel sales and meeting planning. She’s not just an agent; she's a seasoned professional who knows how to close a deal and keep every moving part—from contracts to contingencies—running smoothly. She pivoted back to real estate because she loves the challenge of each distinctive transaction and the opportunity to make a positive difference in people's lives. When she's not flawlessly navigating the market, you can find Trish traveling, cheering on her favorite sports teams, catching a country music show, or, most recently, trying to perfect a new recipe while baking with her daughter. Trish lives in Bethesda with her husband, daughter, and her beloved rescue dogs.
