Adolphus was licensed as a real estate broker in Maryland and in the District of Columbia in 2010 after twenty-five years of affiliation with other larger real estate brokerages. In life we have dreams – We can truly say that we are following our dream! In 2010, we felt that the time was right to open the doors to Adolphus Hawkes Realtors, LLC. The market was in a disaster state at that time! However, we wanted to share our real estate knowledge and experience and to develop a brand that educates first time buyers and motivate sellers. We exclusively represent sellers as sellers’ agents and buyers as buyer agents if that’s the wish of our clients and customers.
