Cliff Hawkins AM (10 March 1932 - 15 July 2016) was a real estate agent based in Adelaide, South Australia.[1]

Commencing work at the Lands Titles Office as a draftsman, at the age of 17 Hawkins became the youngest person in the state to qualify as a licensed land broker (now licensed conveyancer). Hawkins subsequently joined the established real estate firm of KJ Powell as a land broker. Hawkins established his real estate business in Adelaide in 1958.[2] Aside from activity in Adelaide, his business established a presence on Kangaroo Island, South Australia from 1963[3] and is the longest established real estate business on the island.[4] In 1966 he became the youngest ever councillor in the Real Estate Institute of South Australia,[5] and in 1981 its youngest ever life member.[6] In June 1988, he became a Member of the Order of Australia for his service to the real estate industry and the community.[7]

In 2000, the South Australian Attorney General appointed Hawkins to a government review panel to report on the National Competition Policy with respect to land agents.[4]

In 2007, Hawkins was recognised by the Real Estate Institute of Australia, being conferred the President's Award honouring outstanding performance, commitment and contributions to the real estate profession.[8]

Hawkins received government appointments to the Land Agents' Board, Commercial Tribunal and the board of the State Transport Authority in South Australia.[9] Outside of real estate, Hawkins was President of Sturt Football Club from 1985 to 1986 and is a life member of the council of Westminster School, Adelaide.[2]
