gave her the encouragement and knowledge
she needed to move forward in becoming

to inspire and encourage me to this day,”
Laura said.

in advocating for our customers.”

With 25+ years of experience, Sue Kelly,
a full-time real estate professional, knows
the ins and outs of the real estate market.
She understands value, pricing and
negotiations, and as a St. Louis native,
she knows the neighborhoods, especially
West St. Louis County and the central
corridor.
More importantly, she cares about her
clients. It’s just one more reason Sue has
earned the distinction of being a top producer.
“It was our first time buying a home and
we were so lucky to work with her,” said
Erika. “It was such a great experience
… Sue responded and answered all our
questions giving us certain confidence in
our decision.”
Sue can help clients sell their present
home and/or find and purchase their
new one. She loves working with firsttime
home buyers and teaching them the
ropes.
“I really like teaching people to decide
what is important to them, helping them
to figure out their priorities so that they
make the right decision because it is an
important one,” she said.
Sue also has a network built over more
than two decades to smooth the process.
“I’ve done a whole lot of networking, and
I have a lot people in hand –– stagers,
lenders, inspectors and designers –– resources
that will keep things easy for both
sellers and buyers,” she said.
