About Shayla

Savvy. Diligent. Integrity. Professionalism. Connections. These are a few words that describe Shayla Frye’s approach to real estate. Clients are quickly drawn by her warm and kind spirit and are anchored by her professionalism and commitment to the flawless execution of their goals. For Shayla, selling homes isn’t just business, it’s also about seeing families through to their next milestone, achieving and adapting to new lifestyle changes, and acquiring or liquidating assets. Whether a client is experienced in the real estate market or not, Shayla possesses the skills and knowledge to advise them and produce their desired results. A partnership with Shayla is a lasting one. She is a trusted partner and a great resource, even after the deal is closed. 

As a local DMV native, Shayla knows the area intimately. Growing up in Prince George’s County, living in Washington D.C., and working in Virginia, there are very few areas that are unfamiliar to her. Shayla graduated from the University of Maryland in College Park, a proud Terrapin, and earned her Bachelor’s degree in American Studies with concentrations in Family Science and Anthropology. Her passion for people and culture enables her to easily connect with people on all levels. As a first-generation Jamaican American, Shayla also has ties to communities abroad and understands the complexities of navigating new environments which is helpful when working with relocation clients and helping to make their transition a smooth one.

Prior to entering the real estate profession, for ten years Shayla served with the Department of Homeland Security as a Physical Security Specialist and Advisor. During her tenure, she held several positions and worked with multiple agencies. With her extensive background in advising, consulting, and project management she brings a thorough, diligent, and analytical approach to real estate. 

When Shayla is not negotiating deals for her clients, she is taking in every second of life. She loves to spend time outdoors and at the beach, whether down in the Florida Keys or in the Caribbean with family and friends. Shayla maintains connections within the community as a humanitarian serving on the Board of Directors for the Joseph and Vera Douglas Foundation (JVDFF). Prior to that, she served with a local organization, L.U.V (Let Us Volunteer) where she served as Volunteer Coordinator and established partnerships with S.O.M.E (So Others May Eat), Ronald McDonald House Charities, Capital Area Food Bank, Food for Others, Martha’s Table and Food for Friends. Shayla believes that nurturing relationships and community ties are essential to living a life of fulfillment.
