About Rob Hawkins

Rob Hawkins has been involved in real estate since the late 1990s, beginning his career in Australia before buying, selling, and renovating homes himself. Over the past five years, he has helped many homeowners and buyers across the Franklin District navigate important property decisions with clarity and confidence.

While Rob has received industry recognition and awards, his focus has never been on talking about himself. What matters most to him are the needs, circumstances, and goals of the people he works with. Much of his business comes from referrals and word of mouth — something he sees as a direct reflection of the care, honesty, and quality of service he provides.

Before focusing on real estate, Rob built a diverse career across policing, aviation operations, government advisory roles, and high-performance coaching. His background includes senior operational leadership with Qantas, analytical and senior advisory roles within the Australian Government, and years spent coaching athletes and supporting men’s health and wellbeing.

This experience shapes the way Rob works today — calm under pressure, highly organised, and grounded in listening before advising. His studies in economics, psychology, industrial relations, and project management underpin a practical, balanced approach to complex decisions, where context and accuracy matter more than noise or opinion.

Rob believes people don’t buy or sell property for the sake of it. They do it to facilitate change — to right-size, relocate, free up capital, or pursue the next chapter of life. He welcomes the opportunity to sit down for a coffee, have an honest conversation, and provide clear, unbiased advice that’s right for the client — not the agent.

Listening First. Advising Second.

Rob has a clear and honest communication style. He is a good listener and always follows through on what he said he would do. Rob has a lot of integrity and he is a hard worker.- Miranda Millington
*****Excellent***** A huge thank you to Rob for all the hard work and support he provided during the sale of our property. Rob made the experience as worry-free as possible by guiding us through the entire process in easy steps. He gave sound advice and was totally committed to ensuring we achieved a sale that was as stress free as possible and beneficial to both parties. His hard work made all the arrangements (including travelling out of Auckland to go over paperwork) very easy. Rob always responded when we had questions, no question was too small. He made us feel supported throughout the journey with his professionalism, communication, and integrity. *****We would fully recommend Rob. *****- Jenny & Dawn
The persistent agent. Rob was engaged to sell my Papakura house and the process took an extended period of time. During this time Rob never lost focus or enthusiasm and was engaging and professional right through the process until our successful sale goal was achieved. Based on my experience with Rob I would use his services again and would recommend him to others. Subsequent to the sale Rob instrumental in my purchase of a house in another South Auckland suburb- Ian M
