Doug Williams – Land Broker | Brokerage Leader | Land Specialist

Doug Williams is an experienced land broker and real estate professional serving Maryland’s Eastern Shore, Delaware, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and the broader Delmarva Peninsula. Since joining National Land Realty in November 2024, Doug has focused on helping landowners, investors, farmers, and outdoor enthusiasts navigate the opportunities and complexities of buying and selling rural real estate. As Broker of Record in both Maryland and Delaware, he combines extensive brokerage experience with a deep understanding of land, its potential, and the factors that influence its value.

Doug specializes in agricultural land, timberland, recreational and hunting properties, rural homesites, and land with residential, commercial, or future development potential. His approach goes beyond simply marketing acreage. He works to understand each property's characteristics, intended use, market position, and potential opportunities, helping clients make informed decisions about their real estate holdings. Whether representing a landowner considering a sale, an investor evaluating an acquisition, or a buyer searching for the right farm or recreational retreat, Doug brings a practical, detail-oriented approach to every transaction.

A lifelong resident of Maryland’s Eastern Shore, Doug has called the Delmarva Peninsula home for more than 55 years. His familiarity with the region's agricultural communities, rural properties, hunting traditions, and land-use considerations provides valuable local perspective. He understands that every tract has its own story and that successful land transactions require more than a listing price and a marketing plan. They require a thorough understanding of the property, its market, and the goals of the people involved.

Doug's real estate career is supported by more than 35 years of professional land surveying experience, including nearly two decades as a partner at The Land Group and G. W. Stephens & Associates. Licensed as a professional land surveyor in Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia, he brings an uncommon technical perspective to land brokerage. His background in property boundaries, easements, topography, development planning, GPS/GIS mapping, and land records helps him recognize important property considerations and communicate more effectively with buyers, sellers, surveyors, engineers, and other professionals. While his primary focus is land brokerage, this technical foundation remains an important advantage when evaluating rural real estate and helping clients navigate complex property issues.

Doug holds real estate licenses in Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. His experience across these markets, combined with his surveying background and familiarity with the region, allows him to serve a broad range of landowners and buyers. Through National Land Realty, he also has access to a specialized land brokerage platform designed to connect properties with qualified buyers through targeted marketing, broad exposure, mapping technology, and additional land-focused services.

Outside of real estate, Doug remains closely connected to the land and the community he calls home. He lives just outside Hebron, Maryland, with his wife, Sue Hudson, who is also active in the land real estate business. Doug serves the Hebron Volunteer Fire Department as Treasurer, a member of the Board of Trustees, and a Fire Line Officer. When he is not working with clients or serving his community, he enjoys hunting, boating, and traveling.

For Doug, land is more than a real estate asset. It is a resource, an investment, a livelihood, and a legacy. His combination of brokerage experience, regional knowledge, technical expertise, and personal appreciation for the outdoors makes him a trusted resource for those looking to buy, sell, or make the most of their land across the Delmarva Peninsula and surrounding markets.
