Before entering real estate, Justin Kirkwood served in the U.S. Army, where he developed the discipline, accountability and resilience that continue to shape his professional approach today. “Military service instilled a strong foundation of leadership, preparation and problem-solving,” he shares. “These qualities translate directly into real estate transactions where strategic thinking and calm decision-making are critical.”
Kirkwood focuses on the South Florida market of Miami-Dade County, including Coral Gables, Pinecrest, South Miami and Brickell. With 10 years of industry experience, he works with luxury sellers, waterfront property owners and homeowners seeking strategic guidance to maximize the value of their properties in competitive markets. “From the beginning of my career, I recognized that real estate is both a business and a service industry,” he recounts. “Preparation, communication and trust play a major role in achieving successful outcomes.”
Recognized by RealTrends as a verified top individual by sales volume nationwide in 2025, Kirkwood leads the No. 1 Zillow seller partnership team in Florida. “I coach agents, implement conversion systems and ensure that every seller opportunity is handled with a high level of structure, urgency and professionalism,” he explains. “It impacts my own production as well as the performance and development of over 700 agents across the brokerage.”
Kirkwood is passionate about initiatives that support youth development and enjoys creating opportunities within local communities. Recently, he watched his 4-year-old child attend school for the first time. “It was a reminder that success isn’t only measured in business milestones, but also in the ability to show up consistently for the people who matter most,” he says.
Outside of real estate, Kirkwood’s hobbies include fitness, reading and family time on his boat.
