We recently sold our waterfront house in Annapolis overlooking the Chesapeake Bay. Brad Kappel and his team guided us at every step of the way, from advice on staging and bringing the house to market, to helping us navigate challenging market circumstances, to getting the best possible price. Brad's knowledge of the Chesapeake Bay area, and Annapolis in particular, was a key asset at every step. His savvy insights into market dynamics and how best to present the house to prospective buyers was invaluable. Brad or a member of his team hosted every showing, ensuring that interested buyers were given deep insight into the value of the house and its man...

Navigating the complexities of selling our unique, historic cottage in an unpredictable market felt daunting, but Brad Kappel and his exceptional team skillfully positioned our property, resulting in a successful sale in just five days. Additionally, they were incredibly responsive, addressing every question and concern with expertise and thoughtfulness. We are immensely grateful for their outstanding efforts.

I gave Brad an impossible task - to sell my home in 10 days during a gap between tenants, and to get us a close date 60 days beyond that. He and his team delivered: we got an all-cash offer with no contingencies, and the close date we wanted. We were not his biggest clients, but he treated us as if we were.

We had a very challenging property -- fantastic lot, great location, house desperately in need of extensive renovation. Brad sold the home quickly at an excellent price. His team is terrific. The transaction was handled smoothly. Every person we dealt with was professional, efficient and trustworthy -- exactly what you hope for in a real estate transaction. We would recommend him highly.

We truly cannot say enough good things about Brad Kappel. He sold our waterfront home off market and in record time, which still amazes us! From the very beginning, Brad brought a level of professionalism that immediately gave us confidence—but it was his warmth, honesty, and genuine care that really set him apart. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, yet down-to-earth and personable—exactly the kind of person you want representing your home. Brad made the process seamless and stress-free, and we always felt like we were in the best hands. If you have a waterfront property to sell, he is your guy. Brad knows the market inside and out, and he truly goes ab...

Brad and his team were excellent to deal with from start to finish...always very responsive and professional. They provided good market insight as well as "staging" the property. As a result they were able to sell our property in short order. They also were very thorough with regards to the processing and paperwork required to bring the transaction to fruition and subsequent settlement. I would highly recommend them!

Working with Brad Kappell was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. He was a true professional every step of the way—responsive, knowledgeable, and always made us feel like a top priority. Brad treated us like new business, even though we knew he was juggling a full plate. Every question we had was answered quickly (often within minutes via text), and every interaction made us feel like we were his most important client. If you’re looking for a realtor who goes above and beyond, Brad is the one you want in your corner.

Brad Kappel and his team were wonderful to work with in selling our home. Brad was personally involved in all aspects of the process. And it was Brad’s key insight on market timing that led us to put our house on the market sooner than we planned – and we are so glad he recommended it. Three full price offers in 3 days and sold above asking price! Brad’s team was completely professional and enjoyable to work with – and Mistie was amazing. Efficient, professional, and so responsive to any question we had. She made things as stress-free as possible. They have our highest recommendation!

We could not have been more pleased with our agent Brad Kappel. Our house was on the market for only two days. We got three offers, one of which was 100 K over asking price with no contingencies, an offer we couldn't refuse

We couldn't recommend Brad more highly. His team is organized and highly professional. He sold our home in two days, for above asking price, with no contingencies!!! You can't ask for better!

I cannot speak highly enough about the exceptional service provided by Brad Kappel and his team at Sotheby’s.

The results speak for themselves — strong interest from serious buyers and a swift, successful sale. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional results.

I hired Brad already knowing that he is the number one agent in Maryland and my expectations were very high. Brad and his team surpassed even my very high expectations. From the very first meeting Brad was very professional and very well prepared. His detailed knowledge of the market and of the anatomy of a home are impressive. All the steps, from the listing to the closing were performed with an extraordinary attention to details and professionalism. Brad is very resourceful and has a great team.

Brad sold our house extremely quickly & helped us find our new home in exactly the area that we wanted. I can not recommend them enough. If you want what could be a very stressful process to actually be enjoyable/easy, call the Brad Kappel Team. We don't plan on moving again, but if we do, that's who we are calling!

Brad was referred to us by a family member and he was the best real estate agent we’ve had the pleasure of working with. Brad and his team were extremely thorough and made the entire process seamless. We ran into a couple of headaches and without Brad I’m certain that those things wouldn’t have turned out the way they did. He is a top-tier, one-of-a-kind person. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Brad was incredibly knowledgeable and organized. He helped us close quickly and secure the right price for the market. Brad helped us feel confident and secure in our property purchase. We would highly recommend Brad and his team.

We recently closed on our new home with the help of Brad, who helped us create an offer that beat out 11 others. He communicated with us perfectly from the start of our search until closing day and after. He is very knowledgeable about the market and the quality and value of the homes we saw.

We had one of our best real estate transactions working with Brad! He helped us purchase our first Beautiful home in Annapolis. Brad assisted in making every aspect of our out-of-state move go smoothly!

Brad Kappel is a gentleman amongst men! A true professional at the top of his game. I wish I could give him 6 stars! I recently sold my waterfront home with Brad to the first person who viewed it. I was at that point homeless, with 2 months to settlement and we had to be out. He found a house for me to buy and strategized on how we were going to beat out the competing bids and we closed in a month! Then I had a small house to sell in Annapolis and I listed it with Brad and it was sold before we could even take pictures! It never even hit the market. He knows all of the other agents and has a great network. We got well over the asking price. It has t...

Having just sold our long-time Shady Side cottage through Brad Kappel, we can enthusiastically recommend him without reservation. We were impressed by Brad from the get-go when he arrived for our initial interview having already taken the initiative to do a drive-by of the property, enabling him to present us up front with an exhaustive compilation of well-chosen comparables. Brad's presentation of our property was expertly done, with first-class professional photos, a well-produced personally conducted video tour, and well-prepared descriptive material. His familiarity with the market, his sense of timing, and his negotiating and persuasive skills ...

This is the third time we've worked with Brad, to buy, sell and buy again. Each time, he showed excellent knowledge of the Annapolis area, listened to our wants and needs, made the appropriate adjustments, and was, overall, a pleasure to work with. In this seller-friendly market, Brad urged patience, held our hands when we got frustrated, and kept us focused on what was important. Ultimately, we found a wonderful waterfront home. We continue to call on Brad's vast list of contacts in the area to complete some work on the house. We highly recommend Brad to anyone looking for an agent in the Annapolis area.

Based on word-of-mouth recommendations and his having previously sold several homes in our area, we interviewed Brad Kappel when we decided to sell our family’s home for the last 7 plus decades. We were immediately impressed with the quality and detail of his preparation and his forthright approach to the discussion. His perceptive analysis demonstrated clear understanding of several unique factors that we believed needed to be taken into account in marketing the property. Once we agreed to list the house with Brad, we came into contact with his obviously carefully chosen team of Sotheby’s colleagues and others who deftly and swiftly executed his ma...

I cannot imagine a more hard-working, customer-first, polite, professional, courteous, responsive, and above all, just wonderful person to work with, realtor. Brad is the 12th realtor that I have worked with, all in a quite high-value market, and Brad far exceeded any other realtor's performance. Many thanks to Brad and his team!

Brad was incredible to work with. He was highly experienced and knowledgeable in the selling process of a specialty home like ours. He was attentive throughout the process, very communicative daily, and responsive to all of our questions and concerns. Brad’s assistant, Mistie, was also available, supportive, and pleasant throughout. We really couldn’t have asked for better. And our home was under contract in only four days, after we received multiple offers. 10 out of 10, we would recommend Brad and his team to anyone we know in this area who is selling a home.

These guys were great. Sold our waterfront home in Anne Arundel on the Chesapeake bay in days. Highly recommended.
