Hi....I'm Kate Kelly, and welcome to my website! Real estate is in my blood. That’s the answer I always give when people ask me why I went into real estate. My grandfather was a commercial developer, and my parents did several renovations throughout the years. My mother was also a highly respected broker and my grandmother owned and operated our family company (Kelly Real Estate☘️) for pretty much my entire life. She also managed her own multi-family residential building, which I now manage. So I grew up learning all the ins-and-outs of the industry. Looking back, I’m incredibly impressed at the way the brokers in my family always put their clients FIRST. And, I have no doubt that was the secret to their success. So in my real estate journey that is exactly the same path I am following. You come first…You are my most important consideration…YOUR happiness and success is MY happiness and success. I truly care about my clients and their needs, and will go above and beyond to ensure you get the best price for your important investment. I hope to create an exceptional real estate experience for you and in the process carry on my family's exceptional legacy of service.
