Once a fixture at the Playboy Mansion and on reality TV, Kendra Wilkinson is hard at work these days, rolling up her sleeves and sweating it out in the world of Los Angeles real estate.
The former reality star-turned-realtor was recently snapped hosting a three-hour open house over the weekend for a three-bedroom, three-bath property listed for $1.5million in Westlake Village.
Though she was once known for racy outfits, stilettos, and posing alongside fellow girlfriends of Hugh Hefner, she now means business in black flats, real estate signage, and a clipboard.
What's more, the open house also happened to fall on Mother's Day, when the majority of other moms are being pampered and celebrated.
But exclusive DailyMail.com photos instead show the 39-year-old Playboy alum placing signs, sweeping the entryway, and making the property look attractive to potential buyers under the blazing 90F degree sun.
She was seen pulling out open house signs, from Ernie Carswell & Associates and Douglas Elliman real estate, from the back of her car.
The mom-of-two looked every bit the professional in a leopard blouse and black pants, with her blonde hair pulled into a sleek ponytail.
It was obvious that she is taking her new profession seriously and was not distracted by anything going on around her.
Kendra, who turns 40 next month, began her real estate journey when she got her license in 2020 and joined fellow reality star realtor Mauricio Umansky's The Agency.
Her property show, Kendra Sells Real Estate on Discovery+ and Max, which showcased her struggle as a new agent in the bustling and sometimes cut-throat industry, was canceled after two seasons in 2022.
Kendra has two children from her almost ten year marriage to professional football player Hank Baskett III, 42, which ended in 2018, and produced their son Hank Baskett IV, 15, and daughter Alijah, 11.
It hasn't been an easy road for this former sex symbol who moved into the Playboy mansion at age 18, and became one of the famous trio of Hugh Hefner's girlfriends.
She was able to parlay her time with Hef—60-years her senior—into multiple successful reality shows including Kendra on E!, Kendra On Top with the We Network, and Kendra Sells Hollywood.
On social media, she often advertises properties that are on the market and other open house events.
She shared photos of the time slots for the showings days earlier, with the caption: 'What my Mother's Day weekend looks like!!'
In a candid Instagram post days after the open house, Kendra admitted that her burgeoning real estate career has not been as lucrative as she wants and needs to support her family.
'I spent years out of the spotlight before I chose to become a realtor and yes, I definitely need the money,' she wrote on May 13.
'Am I making sh*t tons of money…I sure hope that day comes.'

Fans of the the first Girls Next Door spin-off show remember a crying Kendra shorty after the birth of their son, questioning her then husband Hank about their financial future after his football career ends and reality show fame ends saying she hadn't been to college and had no skills.
At the height of her fame, she was commanding $10,000 just to appear at a pool party in Las Vegas.
She went from living the $100million Playboy mansion, to a $2.5million home behind gates in Calabasas to now a $3,500-a-month rental in the Agoura Hills area of Los Angeles County.
Last week, the former TV star took to Instagram to address claims that she is 'still holding on to her ex '.
She penned a lengthy message to her followers while reflecting on the ways she has 'changed.'
'I just got a comment basically saying I'm not the same, I come across sad, still holding on to my ex,' Kendra began. 'I just want to say that….yes I have changed.

'Yes I've been depressed as I've stated in almost every interview I've been doing and no I'm not holding onto my ex!! I'm simply giving him respect he deserves being an amazing co parent.'
Wilkinson then explained that interviews are not easy for her due to the topic of her Playboy days being brought up 'every single time.'
The mom-of-two added, 'I've tried for years to avoid going backwards but people still have a hunger for it i guess.'
On a positive note, Kendra told her fans that her life 'has actually been fun and exciting.
On September 6, 2023 she made headlines when it was revealed that her ex-husband had driven her to the hospital emergency room after having a severe anxiety attack along with a deep bout of depression.
'It was the lowest place I've ever been in my life. I felt like I had no future. I couldn't see in front of my depression,' she told People magazine in January of 2024.
She has previously revealed that she did not form many close friendships during her five years living at the Playboy Mansion
After not eating and sleeping for days she said her head was constantly spinning. Kendra says she kept asking herself, 'How am I going to succeed? What am I doing wrong in my life? Do I give up?'
While she waffles on whether her years with Hef actually 'saved' her after troubled teenaged years, or 'really messed my whole life up,' one thing is sure, her children keep her motivated and going strong.
Her proudest role these days is as a mom.
Kendra's social media accounts are filled with photos of her cheering on son Hank at his basketball and hockey games, or daughter Alijah at her sporting events.
