About Clarence
Washington, DC · Northern Virginia · Delaware Beaches
“Behind every move is a story — my role is to guide yours with clarity, intention, and care.”
If you’re looking for real estate guidance that feels calm, strategic, and deeply personal, you’re in the right place. I help clients navigate the Washington, DC, Northern Virginia, and Delaware beach markets with a level of clarity and attentiveness that turns a complex process into a confident, meaningful experience.
A Practice Built on Trust, Strategy & Experience
My advisory style is grounded in long-term relationships, thoughtful strategy, and a steady, composed approach to decision-making. I’ve had the privilege of guiding clients through more than $65 million in residential real estate — a reflection of the trust they place in me and the partnerships that continue long after closing.
My work at TTR Sotheby’s helped shape a luxury-forward standard of service rooted in precision, presentation, and discretion. Today, at Compass, I bring that refined foundation into a modern real estate practice supported by advanced technology, elevated marketing, and data-driven insights that serve clients in competitive and evolving markets.
Where I Work — And Why Clients Choose Me
I’m grateful to serve clients throughout:
Washington, DC
Arlington, Alexandria & Northern Virginia
Rehoboth Beach, Lewes & the Delaware beaches
Clients rely on me for:
- Strategic pricing and negotiation
- Elevated staging and pre-market preparation
- Seamless transitions between DC and the Delaware coast
- Access to Compass Private Exclusives and off-market opportunities
- A steady, informed presence from first consultation to closing
My approach is intentional, relationship-first, and grounded in genuine care. I guide clients to choices that feel thoughtful and right — never rushed.
Who I Am Beyond Real Estate
Community connection is central to who I am. I proudly support New Hope Housing, Sitar Arts Center, and CAMP Rehoboth, championing housing stability, arts education, and LGBTQ+ advocacy across the region.
Outside of work, I cherish time with my husband and our dog in Rehoboth Beach, where we enjoy our second home. Our weekends often include exploring new restaurants, walking through town, or relaxing by the coast. I also enjoy hiking, attending live shows, catching the latest films, and spending quiet time reading or meditating — moments that bring balance and clarity.
Your Next Chapter
If you’re exploring a move — in DC, across Northern Virginia, or along the Delaware coast — I would be honored to guide your next chapter with the clarity, confidence, and care it deserves.

I had the pleasure of working with Clarence Pineda, and I cannot say enough good things about the experience. From the very beginning, Clarence was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind. He made the entire process smooth and stress-free, guiding me through every step with patience and expertise.
Clarence is truly at the top of his field in and around Washington, DC, and it shows. His deep understanding of the local market, combined with his strong negotiation skills, sets him apart from other agents. What stood out the most was his attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable with every decision. He always had my best interests at heart and took the time to explain all the options clearly, without ever making me feel pressured.
If you're looking for a real estate agent who is not only highly accomplished but also genuinely cares about his clients, I highly recommend Clarence Pineda. You won’t find anyone more dedicated, compassionate, or easy to work with!

It was a pleasure working with Clarence. After feeling overwhelmed while trying to find an apartment in DC within a short amount of time, Clarence was a lifesaver. Moving from NY, working with him was educational, and he was very helpful and patient from viewing to signing. He was friendly, had a great attitude, and provided us with all the tips for renting in DC.

Clarence was an amazing realtor! He helped us find our perfect home in a short time frame and we even got it under asking price in this market! He was great to work with, communicated with us throughout the whole process and listened to our needs and concerns. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing realtor and we plan to have him help us again for our next home purchase in a few years!
