Description
For Adam Kirkham, a second generation Realtor®, you could say that Real Estate is a family business. Born and raised in Utah, Adam attended Olympus High School and later graduated from the University of Utah. While in school Adam worked at Kirkham Real Estate, the family-owned boutique Real Estate company started by his mother Carolyn Kirkham, a well-known Realtor® in the Salt Lake Valley. Adam entered the real estate world as a sign-post installer for his family and eventually went on to hold down every job possible at Kirkham Real Estate - including, but not limited to, listing photographer, self-learned web designer, marketing coordinator, and anything he could do to help family company run smoothly.
In 2005, after years of learning the trade first-hand, Adam had come to the realization that his future career was in Real Estate. He obtained his real estate license and helped grow Kirkham Real Estate into one of the premiere boutique offices in Salt Lake City alongside his mother and brother. Adam eventually joined Summit Sotheby's International Realty, a full-service brokerage catering to the entire state of Utah, serving as a Managing Broker in the Salt Lake City area.
From 2011 to 2018, Adam earned the prestigious Salt Lake Board of Realtors® Hall of Fame Award, an award only given to a few dozen realtors in his marketplace. He has been a recipient of the Realtor 500 Award in 2019 and 2020. Adam served as the Salt Lake Board of Realtors® President in 2018 and will serve as the Utah Association of Realtors® Treasurer in 2021. Most recently, Adam was named the 2020 Realtor of the Year by the Salt Lake Board of Realtors®, recognized by his peers for his exceptional level of service and standards in the real estate field.
Adam is married and the father to an amazing son and three wonderful daughters. His favorite thing outside of the real estate world is to spend time with his children outside in their garden on the small family farm they own. He loves anything having to do with basketball, having played since he was a boy, and is an avid NBA fan and roots for the University of Utah teams. For the last five years he's been a volunteer coach for the Olympus Jr. High Boys Basketball team and enjoys attending games with his children and wife Leslee.

Testimonials
Adam always goes above and beyond what you ask. He is so knowledgeable and able to answer every question you ask him. He treats you like you are his only client and always is there to help in any way. Adam makes it so that you don't have to worry about anything. The home buying and selling process can be stressful and Adam makes it as easy and smooth as possible. We were days away from having our first baby and Adam made it so we didn't have to do much but pack up our old house and move in to the new one.
Adam exceeded our expectations at every turn. He seamlessly helped us navigate the bumps in the road, and was patient with us and never tried to accelerate our home-buying process. His expertise and real estate savvy was essential to our positive outcome!
I highly, highly recommend Adam to anyone selling or buying a home. He sold our home and found us the home that we are now living in. We felt like we got top dollar for our home, and we were able to snatch up our dream home we are currently living because Adam found it when it first listed and got us to move on it fast. He answered all of our questions, any time of day or night, and listened to us in what we wanted in our new home. Eight months after we had finished working with him - he sent us a custom painting of our home we sold! It was such a thoughtful gift that is framed in our new home! Thank you Adam!
Adam is a professional in every sense of the word. He understands the market, is realistic and gets stuff done. I have used him many times and every time I come away satisfied. I highly recommend Adam Kirkham!
Adam sold our home for us a few years ago. We were so happy with everything Adam did for us. He always had our best interest in mind and was available at all times to answer questions. He was clear and straightforward about the market and our home sold quickly. We were very happy with the negotiated sale price. He is professional but very relatable and kind! I would highly recommend him!

Until I worked with Adam, I had thought that Realtors were overpaid. That commission just seemed like a lot for what I understood their service to be. That all changed when I saw all Adam did to sell our home......
His understanding of the market, management of our expectations and tech savvy were invaluable in the process. My paradigm shifted and I found myself trying to pay him more! I give him the highest marks in every category.
Adam is a true professional but treats you like a friend. He has both sold my home and found us our current home. He goes out of his way to personalize the experience and is available at the drop of a hat for any questions no matter how trivial they seem. I have recommended Adam to all of my friends and family and my Sister in law and best friend both used him to buy their homes.
Adam was most helpful with our first purchase and now with our second purchase. We feel very fortunate that we had his expertise to help us all the way through the process and I would highly recommend him.
