Every time we spoke on the phone she was always knowledgeable and was able to answer our questions. You will want her in your corner. She’s a go getter and gets the job done well.

Fantastic experience: As a Realtor in Virginia, I was searching for the perfect agent to refer my daughter to in Shelby, NC. I reached out to several agents, but the moment I spoke with Kelly Howell, I knew she was the one. Her sweet Southern twang was warm and inviting, and her deep knowledge of Shelby gave me immediate peace of mind. Kelly didn’t just help my daughter and son-in-law find the perfect home — she went above and beyond. She invited them to her church. Kelly is a savvy, dedicated agent, a proud mom, and a woman of strong Christian faith. We feel incredibly blessed to have found her, and I can’t recommend her highly enough! Thank you Kelly ❤️

Fantastic experience: My husband and I were first time homebuyers and Kelly made everything a breeze! We hit a few rough spots through the buying process, but Kelly was patient and helped us navigate our next steps and counter what was needed to help us get our home! She was also extremely flexible, as we were an hour away from where we bought, and she always worked with our schedule! She loves her little town and is very knowledgeable of the area and all the spots to explore; & now, we are SO happy to call this place our home too!!!

Fantastic experience: When my husband and I decided to embark on our unexpected journey to sell our home, we were a bit hesitant to use a new realtor. We asked around and Kelly came to us highly recommended so we decided to give it a go. Our experience with Kelly was amazing! Kelly helped us list our home and got beautiful photos done. She marketed our home and was extremely diligent in doing all she could on her end to make sure the deal went through. When things got a bit tough with unexpected circumstances on the buyers side, she prayed for us and was there to walk us through absolutely everything, ensuring we understood the ins and outs of it all. She continued to work hard to make sure our home sold and it did. In the end, working with Kelly wasn’t just another job for her. She truly saw us as people and developed a relationship with us. We truly appreciate her and her wonderful personality. We recommend Kelly hands down. Truly, the best experience, with great results! She is a jewel and we were blessed to have her on our side.

Fantastic experience: She was amazing through the entire process. I felt bad at times because she was working so hard, day and night. Our house was on the market for three days and sold.

Fantastic experience: We cannot say enough WONDERFUL things about Kelly and our home buying experience with her! She is truly an amazing human being in all aspects, and I would highly recommend her services to anyone and everyone I know here in North Carolina. We purchased our home in Shelby long distance from Colorado, which was tricky in itself - but Kelly made the process such a breeze! She was always readily available, viewing numerous homes for us via FaceTime, doing endless research for us…all with a smile on her face, and in a very professional manner! We have nothing but positive feedback about Kelly and will always call on her for any of our Real Estate needs in the future! Hands down, the BEST!

Fantastic experience: We bought our first home during covid and although the world was crazy, the home buying process with Kelly wasn't. She took all of our interests in our first home and made sure to find the perfect fit. We were in our home withing 3 months and was so pleased with the whole process. I highly recommend Kelly if you want a personable realtor who makes sure to take into account everything from schools, price, size and so much more when it comes to picking out your first or 4th home. If we ever sell and buy another home it will definitely be with Kelly helping us.

Very thankful that we chose her!

Brandi Bardwil Published on Google

Fantastic experience: From the very beginning of our journey of selling our home and finding a new one Kelly was by our side!!! I had a million random questions at all hours of the day and she answered every single one with unbelievable quickness!! She truly listened to what my husband and I really wanted in a new home!!! She showed us tons of houses and would never hesitate to say “we will find the one” when each house we would look at didn’t have that feeling we were looking for! She spent so much time with us that our youngest daughter still calls her Aunt Kelly:) When it was time to put our house on the market she was right there every step of the way, and even cried with me at closing because that was our first home! She became much more than a realtor, she became a friend!! She is knowledgeable and caring and the best at what she does!! We never would have made it through this process without her, she is hands down the best realtor around!!!!!!!!

Mario Ziranda Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Hats off to Kelly for being an exceptional realtor. She is highly responsive and I never had a second thought that she would answer all my questions or concerns.

She was genuinely determined to find us the perfect home and listen to all of our wants and needs. She is so sweet and was always available for any questions we may have had! I would whole heartedly recommend Kelly to anyone wanting to purchase a home!

Daniel Allen Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Kelly, is top of the line. We told her what we were looking for. It wasn’t on the market at all at the time. What did she do? She took to the pavement, and found us a home off-market that was for sale by owner. It’s our dream home, and we are forever grateful for her finding the needle in a haystack that we asked her to find.

Natalie J Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Kelly helped us buy our first home years ago when she was just into investments. She didn’t even get any commission from the sale but walked us through the entire thing. When we got ready a few months ago to sale our first home and buy something bigger we knew we wanted Kelly as our realtor. She was there every step of the way. Every time we called she answered! It didn’t matter the time of day. If I was worried about something she reassured me. We ended up closing on time and she pushed the whole thing through. It was in the middle of the pandemic and she was amazing! I would definitely recommend. The lawyers wouldn’t even allow her in for our closing (due to the pandemic) but she sat outside and was the first person to congratulate us!
