About Calvin

Calvin Dretske is a DC-based real estate agent with more than $50 million in sales volume. Since 2021, he has guided buyers and sellers through every type of transaction — from entry-level condos to $1M+ homes — with a consistent focus on sharp market analysis, clear communication, and disciplined negotiation.

Calvin is affiliated with the Mollaan Babbington Group at Compass, where he combines the resources of DC's top real estate team with a hands-on, client-first approach. Every client gets direct access to Calvin from the first conversation through closing.

Before real estate, Calvin worked on Capitol Hill and studied political science at Macalester College. That background informs how he approaches every deal: methodically, with a clear read of the landscape and a strong sense of when to push and when to hold.
