Episode 31: Kaylynn Kelley, Real Estate Consultant
Kaylynn Kelley looks at the full picture for her clients’ lives and futures as they relate to their #housegoals: What do they want right now? How are their lives structured? How can they get clear on finding a home that truly fits their needs? Helping her clients answer these questions is Kaylynn’s superpower.
We talk about Kaylynn becoming the broker she wished she had when she and her husband were house hunting, a little bit about the market, peeling back the onion of what her clients say they want versus the root of their real desires (lots of psychology involved in real estate!), manifestation, mindfulness, and more. Kaylynn teaches anyone who wants to know how they buy and sell at the same time and is an incredibly community-driven human. She very much walks her talk.
She’s a mom, a go-getter, and she has the best auto responder ever. As Kaylynn says, she makes your #housegoals a reality.
