Kim Hawley is more than just a Realtor—she’s a trusted guide, sharp negotiator, and passionate advocate who brings heart, insight, and precision to every client interaction. As co-founder of The Hawley Team, Kim has played a vital role in building one of the most respected real estate teams in Southwest Florida, helping hundreds of clients navigate the buying and selling process with clarity and confidence.
Kim’s journey to real estate is as diverse as it is inspiring. After living abroad in Melbourne, Australia for seven years, she returned to Florida and fell in love with both the Gulf Coast lifestyle and a fifth-generation Fort Myers native—Martin Hawley. Together, they invested years in church revitalization work, serving communities from inner-city Atlanta to Long Island, New York before returning to Fort Myers, the place Kim has always considered home.
With a background as a certified counselor, Kim brings a rare level of empathy, active listening, and emotional intelligence to her work in real estate. She has an innate ability to connect with clients, ask the right questions, and truly hear what they’re saying—even when they’re still figuring it out themselves. This skill is especially powerful when working with buyers, many of whom aren’t yet sure what they’re looking for in a home. Kim helps them clarify their needs, uncover their priorities, and envision the lifestyle they want to create. Whether it’s choosing the right neighborhood, balancing features with budget, or navigating emotional decisions, Kim’s thoughtful approach gives clients clarity and confidence. Her clients consistently feel seen, understood, and fully supported throughout the process.
Kim is also passionate about Southwest Florida’s coastal lifestyle. A longtime member of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, she serves as a vessel safety inspector and staff officer, offering valuable knowledge to clients exploring boating communities and waterfront homes. When not on the water, you’ll often find her enjoying time on the golf course or spending meaningful moments with family.
Kim’s approach is grounded in service, faith, and excellence. Her goal is simple yet powerful:
"To serve every client with integrity, to work hard, enjoy family, and keep God at the center of it all."
