The Story
Born in DC. Raised on Real Estate. Built Through Discipline.
Lance Hawkins was born in Washington, DC, and raised in Prince George's County, Maryland—right outside the District of Columbia. He attended DeMatha Catholic High School in Hyattsville, Maryland, and went on to earn a Master of Science in Cybersecurity and a Master of Business Administration from the University of Maryland.
For over thirteen years, Lance has worked within the demanding, high-stakes environment of the federal government in downtown Washington, DC. That experience shaped his approach to everything: disciplined execution, analytical thinking, attention to detail, and the ability to remain calm and strategic under pressure.
Real estate runs in his blood. Born to a father who is a 20-year retired Army Captain and self-taught carpenter from Northeast Washington, DC, and a mother who is a real estate investor and rehabilitator from Southeast Washington, DC, Lance carries a family pedigree for the industry—and a genuine passion for helping people navigate one of the most significant decisions of their lives.
Lance brings an elevated eye to every property he touches. He understands space, presentation, and value in a way that combines instinct with strategy. Whether he's guiding a first-time buyer through the nuances of the market, preparing a home for a high-impact launch, or helping a client make a well-timed investment move, Lance operates with the same care, precision, and professionalism that defines his entire career.
