We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Kelley Smith a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Kelley thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?

I have been in Real Estate for 14 years. My dad owns a lumber business in the small town where I grew up. I have been around building and the housing market my whole life. In 2008 when the market was crashing I decided to get my Real Estate license. It was sink or swim and I decided to swim and kept swimming.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers

I am a realtor that always answers the phone and do my best to make my clients think they are the only one I have. I go above and beyond to make my client’s experience of buying or selling their home the best.

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?

A great lesson I have learned from my dad was to always go above and beyond for your clients. I always answer my phone and am available 24/7 for them.

Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?

I always made my clients first and made no matter how many clients I was helping they all felt like they were the only clients I had.
