Alexandria, VA | August 10, 2026 — Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices PenFed Realty, one of the nation’s premier real estate brokerages with over $8 billion in annual sales volume, is excited to announce the appointment of acclaimed real estate leader Marriah Unruh as Vice President, Agent Growth & Development. Marriah will spearhead the company’s agent coaching, development, and growth initiatives.

Marriah brings more than 20 years of distinguished executive leadership, real estate sales, and brokerage management experience. Recognized nationally as a RISMedia Real Estate Newsmaker, she is a certified Maxwell Leadership Coach, DISC Consultant, and health and wellness coach specializing in performance psychology and habit alignment. A forward-thinking advocate for modern technology, Marriah actively champions AI-driven workflows in content creation, client communication, and lead follow-up—helping real estate professionals streamline operations, elevate client engagement, and grow their business.

"Marriah is one of the most respected and well-connected leaders in our industry, and her track record of developing agents speaks for itself," said Kevin Wiles, President & CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices PenFed Realty. "Agents are drawn to leaders who genuinely invest in their growth — and that is exactly what Marriah does. Her relationships across the industry, her depth as a coach, and her forward-looking approach to technology will create real, lasting value for our agents and the clients they serve. We could not be more excited to welcome her to the team."

In her role, Marriah will expand PenFed Realty's agent development ecosystem. Working closely with regional leadership, she will design and lead high-energy virtual and in-person masterminds, sales training events, and tailored coaching programs that help top producers and growing teams build sustainable, high-growth businesses. Her work builds on a company culture defined by deep support for its agents — from cutting-edge technology and AI-powered tools to hands-on coaching and one of the most agent-focused service models in the industry. It is an investment that shows: agents who join PenFed Realty grow their business by an average of 36% in their first year.

"Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices PenFed Realty has long held a great reputation in our industry, and the more I discovered about the programs, technology, AI-driven tools, and proven systems available to agents, the more compelling this opportunity became,” said Marriah Unruh. “When you combine those resources with exceptional agents, a globally trusted brand, and a leadership team genuinely invested in its people, the opportunity is extraordinary. I am truly excited to step into a role centered on what I love most: helping agents unlock their potential, grow thriving businesses, deliver exceptional value to the clients they serve, and supporting them as they live their very best lives."

Beyond her executive achievements, Marriah is a dedicated community advocate. She serves in committee roles with the Northern Virginia Association of REALTORS® (NVAR) and remains passionately committed to local philanthropy, championing organizations that support children and young adults in their healthy development, as well as other community sponsorship initiatives.

PenFed Realty is delighted to welcome Marriah Unruh to the executive team as she leads this next chapter of agent growth and development across the Mid-Atlantic.
