About Ron Mangas, Jr.

Ron Mangas Jr. has redefined how modern residential architecture is valued, marketed, and sold in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. Recognized among America’s Best Real Estate Professionals by The Wall Street Journal and RealTrends, he ranks consistently within the top one percent of agents nationwide. A Washingtonian “Best Agent” for more than a decade and an NVAR Lifetime Top Producer, Mangas was also honored in 2014 as one of the National Association of REALTORS® 30 Under 30, recognizing his early leadership in the profession. 

With more than two decades in real estate, Mangas has built one of the region’s most respected careers in the luxury market. For over fifteen years, he has devoted his practice exclusively to representing modern and contemporary architecture, a segment that accounts for less than one percent of the region’s housing inventory. His deep understanding of design history and his lifelong reverence for the arts allow him to position architectural homes not merely as properties, but as cultural assets. This perspective, combined with a record of consistent top-tier performance, has made him the definitive choice for clients seeking meaningful results in the modern and luxury market.

As founder of listModern, Mangas created a first-of-its-kind platform dedicated to elevating modern architecture, its designers, and the places that define it. listModern exists to amplify the exposure of architectural listings represented by Ron Mangas, Jr., providing a level of reach, production quality, and narrative depth that no individual agent could achieve alone. Beyond the
D.C. region, the platform also collaborates with select agents and brokerages nationwide, extending its influence through editorial storytelling and architectural features that advance
appreciation for modern residential design.

Within the Washington metropolitan area, Mangas’s leadership extends beyond sales into cultural advocacy. Through initiatives such as the annual DMV Modern Home Tour, he has created a
stage for modern architecture to be experienced, celebrated, and preserved as an integral part of the region’s identity. 

“The soul of modern architecture is connected by the continuum of architectural history,” Mangas explains. “Without understanding its origins, one cannot comprehend the principles that define modern design.”

In a city renowned for its civic monuments, Mangas has elevated modern residential design onto the same stage, establishing himself not only as a leader in real estate but as the foremost voice advancing Washington’s modern architectural identity.
