Building Dreams, Empowering Communities: Iris McCollam’s Journey In Real Estate And Community Service

LEXINGTON PARK, Md. — Real estate has never been just a career for Iris McCollam; it has been a calling rooted in service, relationships and community. As a REALTOR® with eXp Realty serving Southern Maryland, her mission has always been to help people navigate one of the most important decisions of their lives with confidence, education and trust.

With more than 30 years of experience working with the public, along with a strong background in banking, finance and customer service, McCollam has built her business on professionalism, integrity and personal connection. Being bilingual in English and Spanish has also allowed her to serve and connect with a diverse community of buyers, sellers and investors throughout Southern Maryland and beyond.

Beyond her professional career, McCollam is also a proud wife to a United States Marine veteran whose last duty station was Patuxent River Naval Air Station. She is the mother of two grown children, a proud grandmother and the loving owner of four beautiful dogs who bring joy and energy to her home every day. Family is everything to her, and it is the foundation behind the values, compassion and dedication that she brings into both her personal life and her business journey as an entrepreneur and real estate professional.

More Than Real Estate — Building Relationships Built On Trust

To McCollam, real estate is never just about buying or selling a home. It is about helping families, individuals and investors feel supported during major life transitions. Her clients are not just transactions; they become relationships that she truly values.

As a REALTOR® with eXp Realty and a Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS®) and Real Estate Military Network (MILNET), McCollam brings both local expertise and a growing global perspective to her business. Whether she is helping first-time homebuyers, military families relocating to Southern Maryland, homeowners preparing to sell or international investors exploring opportunities, her goal is always the same: to provide guidance, education, honesty and exceptional service throughout the process.

Deep Roots In Southern Maryland

Living and working in Southern Maryland since 2001 has allowed McCollam to truly understand the local housing market and the lifestyle the community offers.

Throughout her real estate career, McCollam has remained committed to excellence, client advocacy and continuing education within the industry. She has also been honored to receive recognition for her sales achievements and dedication to serving her clients and community.

A Passion For Community Service

One of the things closest to McCollam’s heart is community involvement. She strongly believes that success means giving back and helping others grow along the way.

As the founder of Latinas of Southern Maryland, McCollam has spent years creating opportunities for connection, empowerment, education and support within the Latino community. Serving the Latino community has always been one of her greatest passions because she understands the importance of representation, guidance and creating a sense of belonging for families who are building their lives and futures here in Southern Maryland.

Through outreach initiatives, school supply donations, educational support, translation assistance, community partnerships, cultural events and charitable efforts, community members have worked together to make a positive impact throughout Southern Maryland. McCollam has also used her platform to help connect Latino families with local resources, housing information, business opportunities and community support services.

Her involvement extends far beyond real estate. She has worked alongside local organizations, participated in community discussions, supported charitable causes and continuously used her platform to provide resources, encouragement and education to others.

Community has always been at the heart of everything McCollam does, and she is proud to continue being a voice, advocate and resource for both the Latino community and the community at large throughout Southern Maryland.
