Kelly Bello: Jacksonville's Realtor Mom on the Rise

Meet Kelly Bello: Jacksonville's Realtor Mom on the Rise | Real Estate Excellence Podcast

When I sat down with Kelly Bello for Episode 36 of the Real Estate Excellence Podcast, I knew her story would resonate. Kelly is one of those agents you can't help but root for. A single mom of two young boys, she didn't just enter the Jacksonville real estate market—she stormed it. Rookie of the Year, capped every year since, and now a respected leader at Keller Williams Atlantic Partners Southside. Her drive is real, her heart is big, and her results speak for themselves.

Why Kelly Bello Stands Out in Jacksonville Real Estate

Kelly isn't your typical real estate agent. She's approachable, responsive, and makes sure every client feels like family. Her background in mortgage lending gives her a serious edge when it comes to understanding financing, and her service-first mindset means buyers and sellers always feel guided and supported. In a city like Jacksonville, where options are endless, Kelly's ability to build real relationships is what sets her apart.

What Buyers Love About Working With Kelly

If you're looking to buy a home in Jacksonville, Kelly brings calm to what can be a stressful process. She takes time to understand each buyer's goals and walks them through every step—from pre-approval to closing day. Her past clients keep coming back and sending referrals because they know she genuinely cares. As a mom herself, she knows what matters to families looking for their next home.

Why Sellers Trust Kelly to Get Top Dollar

Listing your home with Kelly means getting a sharp negotiator who knows the Jacksonville market. She recently listed a home that received over 20 offers—and she walked her client through each one with care and clarity. Her attention to detail, marketing know-how, and strategic pricing help sellers get strong offers and smooth closings.

Tracy's Take: A Realtor to Watch

Kelly impressed me from the start. She’s authentic, real, and relatable. From her Facebook posts in workout gear after a long day, to coaching calls with top industry leaders, she’s doing the work. Her success isn’t just earned—it’s built on heart, hustle, and humility. As a host, I meet many talented agents, but Kelly stands out. I’m a fan.
