My name is Gaylie Corens, and I help people move into their next chapter with clarity, confidence, and a sense of calm. Whether you're buying your first home, moving up, downsizing, or selling a longtime residence, my goal is to guide you through the process with expert strategy, heartfelt service, and a plan that makes sense for your life.

I’m a Certified Real Estate Planner and experienced Realtor® licensed in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. I bring more than just market knowledge to the table—I bring strong business acumen, deep local expertise, and a heart for helping people. I’ve lived in the D.C. Metro area since 1998, bought my first home in Arlington in 2001, and have spent the past 13+ years raising my family and building my business here in Alexandria. I know this area inside and out, and I understand firsthand the intensity and competition of this market.

Before real estate, I spent years in corporate and regional leadership roles with Target and Nike, and also worked as a flight attendant with Southwest Airlines—an experience that fed my passion for travel and taught me the importance of great customer care. I hold a degree in Business Management, and I’m the founder of Torchlight Homes, my real estate business built on integrity, strategy, and service. I am currently proud to be a member of The FASS Results Group, a highly respected and successful team at eXp Realty. Together, we collaborate to bring best-in-class service, resources, and results to every client. Working alongside other top-producing agents pushes me to stay sharp, innovative, and always focused on excellence.

Real estate had been an interest of mine for years before I made the leap—and once I did, I never looked back. With my background in business, operations, and client service, real estate became the perfect fit. I love educating my clients, helping them make smart decisions, and showing them how real estate can be a powerful tool for building wealth and creating freedom.

I bring a high level of skill, creativity, and calm to every transaction. I’m a strategic thinker, a strong negotiator, and a clear communicator. I believe in setting high standards, solving problems proactively, and always doing the right thing. Most importantly, I truly care about the people I work with and take pride in being a steady, trusted guide through what can often be an emotional and complex process.

Outside of work, I’m a mom, a wife, a devoted animal lover, and an avid traveler. My husband and I met here in the area, married in 2008, and welcomed our daughter in 2009. Our home in Alexandria is filled with laughter, books, rescued pets, and a love of nature and good conversation. We travel often, camp when we can, and stay grounded in the community we love.

Real estate is personal. When you work with me, you’ll be heard, informed, and empowered—and you’ll have a strong advocate in your corner every step of the way.
