Yasmin Abadian moved to Montgomery County, MD with her family in 1966 when her father joined the World Bank. She grew up in Bethesda, attending local public schools - Carderock Springs Elementary, Cabin John Jr. High and Winston Churchill High School. In 1976, she moved to Los Angeles where she attended UCLA and graduated with a Bachelor's of Science degree in Kinesiology/Exercise Physiology. While at UCLA, she worked with the physically and mentally challenged as well as in cardiac rehabilitation ... most notably at the Pritikin Longevity Center in Santa Monica.
Yasmin moved back to the DC area in 1981 and pursued a career in health and fitness; unfortunately, in the 80's, there weren't many options in health care that inspired her and she had been quite disillusioned with the medical profession and its emphasis on disease management rather than health care. So, in 1983 Yasmin decided to pursue a career in business. In 1986, Yasmin gave birth to identical twin girls and as a consequence, sold her business to spend more time with her girls. When they turned 3, Yasmin decided to get back into the business world ... choosing Real Estate, which she hoped would allow her some flexibility.
Yasmin truly loves the Real Estate profession. With her background in counseling as well as her experience in business and marketing, she has been able to combine two fields that she enjoys. Yasmin feels that part of her job is not only to market homes, but to also help the client through the sometimes stressful process of buying and/or selling a home (usually the biggest transaction of ones life!).
From professional staging and photography for each listing to regular market trend reports and individualized home searches for each buyer, she makes sure that everything is taken care of, from consultation to closing. In addition, when you hire Yasmin, not only do you get the benefit of herknowledge and expertise, but also the benefit of her dedicated, hard working and enthusiastic team. Together with Yasmin, a multi-million dollar producer, their relationship, through a shared focus and goals, results in the best possible service available in the marketplace.
Yasmin currently lives in Potomac with her husband Jim McWhorter. Together, they have four children. She loves this area and its people! Having traveled extensively throughout the world, she still feels that the Washington, DC area is one of the most beautiful and culturally diverse areas in one of the richest and most exciting regions of the country, if not the world! But, mostly, it’s home.
