Profile

Joe Hawkins is a seasoned real estate professional and respected voice in the Atlanta market. Originally from Port Charlotte, Florida, Joe has called Atlanta home since 2002, when he began his career working in the city’s vibrant condo and high-rise communities. Over the past two decades, he’s developed a deep understanding of how Atlanta’s housing landscape has evolved — from urban growth to today’s expanding suburban markets.

Joe is known for his collaborative leadership style and his ability to blend practical market insight with a big-picture perspective on the industry. He’s passionate about sharing knowledge, fostering professional growth, and helping others navigate the ever-changing real estate environment.

Outside of work, Joe is all about family. He’s a proud dad to a 12-year-old daughter and part of a close-knit family — with three sisters, five nieces, and a nephew — all living just minutes away in Roswell.
