A Passionate Agent on a Journey of Excellence
For Kingsley Ifezue, real estate is more than just a profession: It’s a pathway to achieving greatness and to building a better life for his family. With an impressive eight years of experience as an agent and five years as a broker, Kingsley’s dedication to his craft and his clients has earned him a reputation as one of the most knowledgeable and well-rounded agents in the business.
Kingsley’s journey into real estate began in June of 2015, when he started his career at Keller Williams Lakeside while still operating his own professional moving company, Movers R Us, in two states — Michigan and Florida. However, the physical demands of the moving business and the desire for more flexibility led him to make a pivotal decision to transition to real estate full time and pursue a new challenge.
“I became an agent to learn something new,” Kingsley said. “I also wanted to service my customers better with having that knowledge and being able to help them buy and sell property.”
Since then, Kingsley’s career has been nothing short of remarkable. His career volume stands at $12 million with a total volume of $7 million achieved in the previous year alone. He is also an active member of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) and has earned accolades such as the Highest Recruiting Agent award in 2017 from Arterra Realty.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, Kingsley has an impressive educational background, graduating with a 4.0 GPA from L’Anse Creuse High School and earning the Distinguished Honor Graduate title in the United States Army in 2001. His pursuit of excellence didn’t end there: He has acquired various certifications, including the Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE), Military Relocation Professional (MRP), Seller Representative Specialist (SRS), Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR), and the At Home with Diversity (AHWD).
When asked about the life events that have shaped him, Kingsley highlights his U.S. military training and when he moved to the Metro Detroit area in 1997. These experiences instilled in him a determination to build generational wealth and to create a better future for his family.
In January of 2018, Kingsley attained broker status, an accomplishment driven by his relentless pursuit of the next level in his career. However, the road to becoming a broker was not without its challenges. “I am always a high achiever,” Kingsley shared. “I wanted to reach the next level of my career. Once I received my broker license, I asked my prior managing broker if I could train as an associate broker, but I was told I needed 15 years of experience, so I decided to start my own brokerage.”
Today, Kingsley’s brokerage — Detroit Metro Realty — boasts 16 agents and has a single location in downtown Mount Clemens. What sets his team apart is their comprehensive training in title, property management and different loan scenarios, making them well-versed in every aspect of real estate
