Kendra Hayes
Hi! I’m Kendra—lover of life, wearer of many hats, and forever optimist with an open heart. My journey has taken me halfway across the country to join the amazing team at One Corner KW ONEChicago. Here, my love for people and passion for real estate fuel my drive to make a positive difference.
The Book How Can I Help? by Ram Dass and Paul Gorman had a deep impact on me. It’s a perspective that's stayed with me, changing how I connect with others and approach most things I do. You should read it. It made me cry more than any other book, and deepened a lifelong value I’ve always held: the desire to help.
As a little girl, I was so convinced of the power of helping, my mom would find me tugging on the rubber handrail at the escalator, sure that I could lift people up faster. Now, I wake up every day asking, “How can I help?”
It’s more than just a question—it’s my way of making a difference in a world that craves more kindness, connection, and authenticity. It’s also my way of honoring that little girl with the big heart. I’m a lifelong learner at my core—always on the lookout for new knowledge, creative solutions, and ways to grow. With a background in people, I’ve developed a superpower for finding innovative ways to solve challenges and empower others to create lives they didn’t know were possible. I’m always here to listen, learn, and speak the truth—because I truly believe that knowing the truth is key to doing our best in the world.
I believe life’s too short to play it safe, so I’m all about trying new things. Whether it’s a deep conversation over matcha, or an impromptu adventure, I’m here for it. Let’s make the world a little brighter together. And I’ll ask you (and truly want to know), “How can I help?”
