Ernest Hawkins

As a real estate agent in the Kansas City Metro area and surrounding communities, I genuinely love what I do. For me, it's more than just a job – it's a lifestyle centered around bringing joy and a positive experience to everyone I work with. I make it a priority to stay highly informed about local properties, schools, and entertainment options. Whether you're buying or selling, my dedication is to ensure you have the best possible representation and a smooth, successful real estate journey.

Military Relocation Professional - MRP
At Home With Diversity Certified
Committed to Excellence Certified C2EX
CIPS- Certified International Property Specialist

As a "Child of the World" who has happily settled in the Kansas City Metro area, I bring a unique perspective to the local real estate market. Growing up as a military child, primarily overseas, afforded me incredible opportunities to experience diverse cultures and landscapes – a journey I'm always eager to continue.

My commitment to service extends beyond real estate. I proudly served our nation in the US Navy and, after 9/11, in the US Air Force. Later, I contributed as a civilian contractor, supporting network infrastructure in Iraq and at the US Embassy in Baghdad. These experiences have instilled in me a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and a dedication to helping others.

When I'm not focused on assisting my clients with their real estate needs, I enjoy the natural beauty of the region, often kayaking on a local lake. I also have a passion for culinary arts, drawing inspiration from my global experiences to create delicious dishes for family and friends.

I'm excited to leverage my diverse background and dedication to help you navigate the Kansas City real estate market
