Wil Hernandez Featured as Rhode Island Real Producers' “Agent on the Move”

Wil Hernandez is featured as an “Agent on the Move” in the October 2026 issue of Rhode Island Real Producers. The six-page profile, titled “The Daily Grind Pays Off,” looks beyond the closing table at the habits, relationships and firsthand experience that have shaped his real estate career.

The daily grind behind the results

According to Rhode Island Real Producers, Wil has been licensed since 2011 and has worked in real estate full-time since 2018. His career has surpassed $58 million in sales volume, and the publication reports that he produced $14 million in volume last year, earned the 2025 Circle of Excellence Platinum Award and ranked among the top 10 sales agents in his brokerage.

The feature makes clear that those results did not happen by accident. Wil's guiding principle is simple: “Keep showing up.” His routine often starts with a 5 a.m. workout, and he prepares the next day's priorities the night before. Prospecting and follow-up remain central to his schedule, with a goal of making meaningful contact with people every day.

A business powered by relationships

One of the most telling details in the feature is that approximately 70 percent of Wil's transactions now come through referrals, primarily from past clients who introduce him to friends and family. Wil credits that loyalty to honesty, clear communication and continuing to show up for people beyond the transaction itself.

Experience beyond a single transaction

Wil brings more than an agent's perspective to the table. Rhode Island Real Producers highlights his experience as a homeowner, investor, property flipper, landlord and Realtor®, giving him firsthand insight into the decisions his clients face.

Before moving into real estate full-time, Wil earned a Bachelor's Degree in Business from Nichols College and worked as a Fund Accountant Manager handling multimillion-dollar investment portfolios. He also spent time in banking, where he developed a passion for helping people understand budgeting, credit and the financial preparation involved in homeownership. That analytical and educational background continues to influence how he advises clients today.

Helping buyers, sellers, landlords and investors

The feature identifies Wil's specialties as first-time homebuyers, sellers, landlords and investors, with particular experience in multifamily properties. Fluent in English and Spanish, he serves clients across Rhode Island's diverse communities and works to make the process understandable at every stage.

The work ethic behind the story

Originally from the Dominican Republic, Wil moved to Rhode Island in 1999. He credits his mother as one of the strongest influences on his work ethic, describing the determination and solution-oriented mindset she modeled for him. That example continues to shape the way he responds to challenges in both business and life.

Growth without losing sight of what matters

As Wil's business has grown, so has his focus on using his time intentionally. The article describes how he has learned to delegate tasks when appropriate so he can protect time for prospecting, client relationships and his children. For Wil, long-term success is not only about production. It is about building the freedom and quality of life that make the work worthwhile.

Being featured by Rhode Island Real Producers is a meaningful moment in that journey, and Wil is grateful to the clients, colleagues, friends and family who continue to support his business. The October 2026 feature was photographed by Jamie Harrington and edited by Stuart Titus.
