evin Hawkins’ new book, *The REAL AI Guide for Real Estate Agents: No Hype. No BS. Just Real ChatGPT Skills You’ll Use Every Day*, has climbed to No. 3 on Amazon’s real‑estate sales best‑sellers list within three weeks of its release. Hawkins, a leading AI author and speaker in the industry, offers agents a clear, practical playbook for integrating ChatGPT into daily workflows.
Brad Inman calls the 100‑page guide “Smart. Practical. Essential,” noting that Hawkins brings the same clarity that has driven his 30‑year career. The book addresses the fact that, according to the 2025 National Association of Realtors Technology Survey, 32 % of agents haven’t used AI in the past year. Hawkins explains how to start using AI safely and effectively, providing specific prompts that go beyond content creation to save time and boost business.
A standout feature is the “Seven‑Day AI Challenge,” a chapter that Hawkins also teaches in live and virtual training for MLSs and brokerages. Industry leaders praise the book as the AI playbook agents have been waiting for. Hawkins’ signature blue Aloha shirt—“No one’s afraid of someone in a Hawaiian shirt”—helps put newcomers at ease.
The guide was edited by Hawkins’ son, Korey, an honors graduate of the University of Washington and co‑creator of the *REAL AI* newsletter, the first weekly AI resource for real‑estate professionals. The book is available in paperback ($19.95) and Kindle ($9.95) formats, with discounted bulk signed copies for MLSs and brokerages through [email protected].
Kevin Hawkins is editor and co‑founder of *REAL AI*, the industry’s first weekly AI newsletter, and a partner with WAV Group. For media inquiries, contact Korey Hawkins at [email protected] or (206) 619‑5058.
