About The Wateridge Group
Northern Virginia Real Estate Advisors
There are just so many real estate agents in Northern Virginia. In fact, there are 13,500 of them—and counting! So, how do you make sure you are working with the right real estate agent? How do you protect the investment in housing you will make over a lifetime of decisions? And how do you get the most from your property when you finally are ready for a change? We would suggest asking an entirely different question: Why hire a real estate agent when you can instead partner with a real estate advisor?
It all started 10 years ago when Danielle Wateridge, the Founder and Team Lead of The Wateridge Group, began her career in real estate with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices PenFed Realty. As Danielle reached many milestones and found much opportunity for growth, she decided to form her own team of rockstar agents and support staff. In building the team, it soon became evident that one of the most important traits that each team member possessed was the spirit, enthusiasm, and drive to help and serve others. With that, the vision and mission for all of us at The Wateridge Group put emphasis on advising, educating, and most importantly treating each and every client like family.
Not only does the team strive to foster the relationships that are built with clients through the transactional process, but it is made known that we are available for support and advising far into the future. What sets us apart is not only our precision and expertise when it comes to buying, selling, and investing, but it is our attitude. Internally, it starts with a teamwork driven environment, so that the we can be in the best position to support and cheer on our clients.
With that, we understand that real estate decisions can be some of the largest milestones in our lives, and it would be a privilege for us to assist you in taking that next step.

Meet The Team

Danielle Wateridge, a Northern Virginia real estate advisor and longtime South Riding resident, brings a rare blend of deep local roots, sharp strategy, and heartfelt care to every client she serves. Her background in law and finance, paired with the discipline she developed as a collegiate athlete at George Mason University, shaped a calm, strategic approach to real estate rooted in clarity, education, and trust.
After years in patent law and investment banking in London and New York City, Danielle returned home to Northern Virginia with a renewed sense of purpose: to help families navigate major life transitions with confidence and care. Early in her real estate career, she recognized a common thread among homeowners - not confusion about their goals, but a lack of steady, advisor-led guidance and education to help them move forward with certainty.
That realization shaped her mission: to serve as a lifelong real estate advisor, providing clear guidance and honest insight through every stage of homeownership, both during a transaction and long after it’s complete.
Now ranked in the top 0.05% of agents and having guided more than 300 Northern Virginia families, Danielle leads The Wateridge Group with a commitment to low-stress, high-education experiences rooted in connection and care. As a mom of three, she understands the emotion behind every move - and believes real estate doesn’t have to feel overwhelming when you have the right advisor by your side.
Clients consistently describe her as warm, strategic, and unwavering in her commitment to doing what’s right. For Danielle, real estate isn’t transactional - it’s stewardship built on trust, education, and relationships that extend well beyond the closing table.
