More than a traditional real estate agent, Adam Morrow is an advocate for his clients. While he owns and manages Sound Counsel Realty, a full service real estate brokerage, Adam is also a real estate attorney. He has successfully represented buyers and sellers in virtually every type of residential real estate transaction, including traditional buyer/ seller transactions, short sales, foreclosures, and bankruptcy court sales. As an experienced, skilled negotiator, a meticulous researcher, and a creative strategist, Adam has made it possible for his clients to purchase homes and land at significantly reduced prices, while also helping sellers meet their goals and expectations in the sale of their homes.

Adam's clients receive the added value of legal counsel, which includes drafting contractual language (something real estate agents are not permitted to do) and providing counsel throughout the process. Adam Morrow's peers have rated him in the top 2% of lawyers in Washington's Law & Politics magazine. At Sound Counsel Realty, Adam provides clients with an exceedingly high level of professional service.
