Kind and Informative

Kirk Hawkins is both knowledgeable and warm, which makes him a great conversationalist. (What you’d expect from a TV journalist.) What you don’t expect to find out is that he’s also a Realtor! I’ve loved the variety of high-profile guests he has brought on so far, and am enjoying hearing their stories of homeownership-especially the first-time buyers. It’s one part “House Hunters” and one part business / life inspo. I can’t wait for more!
