Joe Hinkle

After nearly 30 years as a dairy farmer, Joe decided to obtain his real estate license in 2002. He worked his first two years with a brokerage out of Long Prairie until deciding to become a broker and open Hinkle Realty officially in 2004 with his wife Diane who also obtained her license in 2007. As a team they operated Hinkle Realty until June 30th, 2021 when they turned the business over to their youngest son, Jordan. Joe and Diane have 5 children and 12 grandchildren—they love spending time with them. In their spare time, they enjoy traveling, cheering on MN sport’s teams, taking day trips on the motorcycle, and being involved in many church activities. Joe is keeping his real estate license but scaling back to being an agent and enjoying some more free time.
