Homes With Heart

Real Guidance From A Mother-Daughter Team You Can Trust

At HK Team, we believe real estate should feel personal — not transactional. As a mother-daughter real estate team based in New Jersey, we bring heart, honesty, and real connection into every home we help buy or sell. Working together allows us to blend two strengths: years of experience with fresh energy, modern marketing, and a deep understanding of what families in our communities truly need.

We’re proud to serve Essex County and surrounding New Jersey towns, helping clients find the right home, the right neighborhood, and the right next chapter. Whether you’re a first-time home buyer, upsizing, downsizing, or selling a long-time family home, our approach remains the same:

we guide you as if you’re part of our own family.

With Coldwell Banker’s industry-leading tools and our hands-on, relationship-focused service, we provide:

  • Clear communication every step of the way
  • Local neighborhood expertise
  • Strategic pricing and marketing
  • Skilled negotiation and advocacy
  • Support that continues long after closing

Buying or selling a home is emotional — and we honor that. Our clients trust us because we listen, we care, and we show up for them. At HK Team, you’re not just working with real estate agents…

you’re gaining a team that is truly invested in your story.

Emma Kingsley

Hi, I’m Emma — a personable, caring, and outgoing New Jersey real estate agent with deep roots in the Maplewood/South Orange community. I was born in Manhattan and raised right here in SOMA after my family moved in 2003. I graduated from Columbia High School in 2019, spent years working in some of the neighborhood’s favorite restaurants, and built strong connections through nannying — so helping people has always been at the center of my life. Real estate has been a lifelong passion for me. I’ve always had an eye for homes, decorating, and interior design, and I grew up watching both of my parents work in this industry. My dad was a real estate agent in the area before he passed in 2019, and it means a lot to me to carry on the work my parents started. Now, partnering with my mom at Coldwell Banker, I’m proud to be doing exactly what I’ve always dreamed of. Clients describe me as patient, funny, reliable, and always available. I’m a great communicator with strong neighborhood knowledge, and I bring a modern, social-media-savvy approach to marketing homes. I truly go above and beyond for the people I work with — whether that means answering late-night questions, guiding first-time buyers, or making the entire process feel less stressful and more personal. If you’re looking for an agent who knows the community, cares deeply, and will support you every step of the way, I’d love to help you find your place here.
