In Loving Memory of Peggy Murdock Ferris. Peggy passed away on 2 May, 2026. She was our friend and mentor. She was a recognized leader in DC real estate, with more than 40 years of experience. She was a co-founder of the Compass Chevy Chase office, where she was known for excellent timing and negotiation skills, pricing acumen, tasteful staging and a deep understanding of how the housing market moves. 

Peggy had a large network of devoted clients, often multiple generations in a family. She worked almost entirely on referrals, a testament to her high quality of service and tireless efforts to meet the needs of buyers and sellers in the Washington area. 

Peggy's personal touch transformed a transaction into a positive experience. Clients would say: "she's available 24 hours a day", "she listens and hears my needs and priorities", "I knew that Peggy acted in my best interests", "she treats me like a dear friend", "my kids love her". Those are also the reasons why other Compass agents looked to her as an adviser on tough issues. 

Before her real estate career, Peggy taught art and photography in Montgomery County and DC public schools. She held a masters degree and was a sixth-generation Washingtonian. She volunteered regularly at the Interfaith Works Women's Center in Rockville and she supported many local causes. In her memory, donations may be made to the Interfaith Works Women’s Center.
