Chamber Member of the Month

We are celebrating Justin Hough, KC Homes - RE/MAX Revolution as our Chamber Member of the Month!


Justin, originally from the Gladstone area, later relocated with his family to Smithville. His strong dedication to assisting others and serving the community has always been a driving force in his life. When he's not excelling as KC’s top Realtor, he prioritizes being a devoted father, husband, and provider. Justin and his wonderful wife have a daughter in college, who is a dancer for the National Champion Sam Houston State Bearkats, and a son who is a competitive gymnast and flag football enthusiast. Their son aspires to follow in his father's footsteps and become a Realtor someday. Justin believes in leading by example and instilling in his family the values of honesty, integrity, and hard work necessary for success in both personal and professional realms.


Passionate about the small-town atmosphere with excellent schools and abundant outdoor activities, Justin's family enjoys the close-knit community while having convenient access to the Northland region. Justin himself finds joy in fishing, hiking, attending church with loved ones, staying fit, and exploring new adventures in Smithville and Kansas City.


An entrepreneur since the age of 19, Justin dedicated 18 years to the fitness industry before transitioning his expertise and experiences to real estate. With a 18-year fitness career behind him, he highly values his gym/fitness connections and takes pride in motivating others to lead fulfilling lives. Justin's profound knowledge and genuine affection for the city and the Northland area are evident in his work. He is thrilled to assist you in navigating your real estate endeavors with confidence and success.
