Today we’d like to introduce you to Kim Haynes
Kim , we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I grew up in the heart of New Orleans, where struggle was not just a word—it was a way of life. I watched my mother work tirelessly, stretching every dollar just to keep food on the table. I saw the worry in her family’s eyes, the sacrifices made, the dreams put on hold. But even as a young girl, i made a silent promise to myself: this would not be my story.
Then came Hurricane Katrina, a storm that swept away not just homes but entire lives. Forced to leave behind everything i knew, my family and I found refuge in Houston, Texas. At first, it was unfamiliar, a new city in the midst of chaos. But something about Houston felt different—it felt like possibility. Though i eventually returned to New Orleans for work, she never forgot the feeling Houston gave me.
Years later, i made a bold decision—I packed up my life and returned to Houston, this time with a vision. Real estate was a world i had never stepped into, a career i knew nothing about. But i had something far more valuable than experience—grit, determination, and a heart that refused to settle for less.
As a single mother of three, the road was anything but easy. Balancing motherhood, learning an entirely new industry, and building a business from the ground up tested me at every turn. There were moments of doubt, deals that fell through, and days where giving up seemed like the only option. But i refused to break. With the unwavering support of my mother, who now lived with her in Houston, i pushed forward.
Fast forward nearly five years, and I Kim Haynes is no longer just a woman chasing a dream—I am the dream. I have sold close to millions in real estate, from residential to commercial and investment properties. But i didn’t stop there. I expanded, creating multiple companies within the real estate industry, turning my success into a legacy.
My story is more than just one of financial success—it is a testament to resilience, faith, and unshakable determination. From a childhood of struggle to an empire built with her own two hands, i have proven that no matter where you come from, your future is yours to create.
Kim Haynes is not just a realtor. She is an inspiration.
