Kristen Hinson

As an Alabama native and graduate of the University of South Carolina’s hospitality program, Southern hospitality runs deep in my veins. I’m especially mindful of providing real estate clients with personal and quality service. I enjoy working with clients from all walks of life and forming relationships that go beyond the sales transaction. Over the past 13 years, I’ve had the fortune of seeing Little Rock grow, meeting new people and trying new things, and I’m certain I’m right where I’m supposed to be, doing exactly what I’m supposed to be doing.

PRESSING QUESTIONS

Best career moment so far:

I represented a single mom when she bought a house a while ago. She mentioned she’d need to buy a rake for her new yard, so that was the closing gift I got her. She teared up, we hugged, we laughed!

Best advice I've ever received:

John C. Maxwell said it best: “You will never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.”

What keeps me coming back to my job every day:

I work alongside the greatest agents at The Property Group. It would be easy for us to work against each other in our industry, but that’s not the case at all. I truly am excited to go to work each day.

The one thing I wish people knew about my field:

It’s about more than connecting a buyer and a seller. It’s helping someone find a house to build memories, start a family and rebuild. It’s extremely personal.

A nonprofit I wish more people knew about:

Little Rock Teen MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers).

Biggest challenges in my career:

I’m a mom to two beautiful kids. They are my everything, but like any other working mother would tell you, there are challenges in finding a work-life balance. I focus on being present, not perfect.

If I could lunch with any woman, it would be:

I would love to have lunch with my great grandmother, Opal. She was amazing. She was barely 5 feet tall, an avid golfer and had the best laugh. I was lucky enough to have her in my life until my early 20s.

What makes Little Rock feel like home:

The personal relationships. When I moved here, I knew very few people. I became involved with the Little Rock Chamber, volunteered with various nonprofits and met some amazing people I’m still in touch with.
