Our Story

           James Kelly Jr. began his real estate journey in 1971 after being called to service in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. The varieties of cultures he was exposed to while serving in the military laid the foundation of his character. The commitment and discipline learned during this journey is what made James the man he is today. He was drawn to real estate seeing the potential to establish long lasting relationships and fulfilling his burning desire to help people achieve their dreams of owning a home.

          James continued his growth and development working as an agent for 4 years eventually becoming a Broker in 1975. That same year James founded Kelly Real Estate (KRE) where the company employed a dozen agents. James continues in his commitment to further the real estate industry, and help other agents achieve their potential in life. James and his wife still enjoy their tradition of morning breakfast together where they continue discussing potential real estate opportunities and the financial market.
