Spencer has always been fond of photography and journalism, and at one point it was his main passion and pursuit.

He attended Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, and Martin J. Whitman School of management, and studied photojournalism as well as entrepreneurship and emerging enterprises.

During his time in university, he was passionate about getting involved with the local community. Applying his photography, writing, and storytelling skills, he worked with a number of local organizations, including Interfaith Works CNY, Auxygen LLC, the Rescue Mission. and Acropolis Development. He has also photographed for a variety of different University publications, while traveling the East Coast to cover high profile sporting events, and other newsworthy topics for the University.

He studied abroad in London, working on 9 assignments over 14 weeks throughout Europe, including an international migration study in Glasgow. While abroad, he documented life and culture in London, Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Paris, Rome, Florence, Venice, Barcelona and Amsterdam. He also attended meetings w/ photo editors and journalists at The Guardian, Reuters, and the Associated Press to engage about the rapidly changing socio-political state of Europe and the Middle East.


Born and raised in the Washington, D.C. metro area, today Spencer Bodian brings a sophisticated real estate approach, and deep desire to provide exceptional service to each and every client he works with.

As a top producing realtor, advisor, team leader, and investor, Spencer guides his clients with experience and insight, doing whatever it takes to ensure they are making the best possible investment decision, while catering to their individual lifestyle preferences. 

He learned the ins and outs of the real estate industry through his previous role as a development, leasing, and marketing manager for Acropolis Development in New York, where he worked with both residential and commercial clients to broaden the company’s market presence. Today, Spencer leverages his creative thinking skills to find the best solutions for every client, while tapping into his extensive network to make the right connections and deliver optimal results.

After deciding to take his business and technology based approach to the next level with Compass, Spencer began the District Spotlight Group in Washington D.C., Maryland & Virginia: a small, hyper focused real estate team offering the highest degree of white glove service to clientele, carefully balancing real estate, lifestyle, and investment focus to manifest clients’ dreams and accomplish their goals.

In 2020, Spencer expanded his business into South Florida, teaming up with Bento Queiroz to gain a foothold in the most rapidly growing market in the United States, and one of the most desirable locations for buyers, sellers and investors on a global scale.

Spencer takes pride in having such diverse market knowledge, and being able to truly service clients in multiple markets domestically, and also internationally.
