With more than $1.5 billion in career sales and multiple record-breaking achievements—including Anne Arundel County’s highest sale at $17.5 million—Brad brings unmatched expertise to the Annapolis, Anne Arundel County, and Eastern Shore markets. His deep understanding of waterfront properties, combined with a background in home construction and renovation, allows him to assess value, identify potential, and guide sellers toward maximum return.

Brad’s multifaceted approach is elevated by the Brad Kappel Team, one of the only real estate groups in Maryland to offer a fully integrated suite of white-glove, concierge services. With dedicated marketing, in-house creative services, client support, staging guidance, and the global reach of Sotheby’s International Realty, the team provides world-class representation for every seller and buyer, regardless of price point.

The team’s buyer- and seller-side expertise is strengthened by two specialized agents: Alex Clark, Anne Arundel County’s No. 1 buyer’s agent, known for securing premier opportunities in competitive markets, and Joe Bray, the team’s Eastern Shore Specialist and a leading authority on Chesapeake Bay waterfront homes. Together, they deliver unmatched guidance for clients navigating both sides of the real estate transaction across the region.

Honored among the Top 100 Agents and Teams Worldwide with Sotheby’s International Realty, and ranked one of the Best Small Real Estate Teams in the U.S. by RealTrends Verified, the Brad Kappel Team sets the standard for luxury and waterfront real estate in Annapolis, Anne Arundel County and Maryland’s Eastern Shore.

A graduate of St. Mary’s School in Annapolis, the College of Charleston, and the Chapman School of Seamanship, Brad is an avid boater and active supporter of local maritime and community organizations, including the Eastport Yacht Club, Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Severn River Association, and the Annapolis Maritime Museum. When he’s not advising clients, he can be found boating, paddleboarding, cooking, or enjoying the Chesapeake lifestyle on the Severn River with his family.
