ABOUT
MCM AUTHORITY

Built by someone who gets it.

Mid-century modern isn't just an aesthetic - it's a way of seeing the world. Clean lines, honest materials, a belief that good design should be livable. If you feel that pull, you already know: not every agent does.

MCM Authority exists because finding the right home is only half the equation. The other half is finding someone who understands what you're looking for, and why it matters.

I'm Joshua Baumgardner, a licensed real estate agent with Sotheby's International Realty in the DC/Maryland/Virginia area and a longtime MCM enthusiast. I created MCM Authority to connect buyers and sellers nationwide with agents who genuinely specialize in mid-century modern properties, not just agents who've sold one.

Whether you're hunting for an Eichler in California, a Neutra in the hills, or a Goodman in Hollin Hills, I'll match you with someone who speaks your language.

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
