Email: Kelly.Whiteman@Raveis.com Kelly Whiteman has been a Connecticut resident since 2012. She is originally from Oneonta, New York. She spent a semester in Perth, Australia and studied the coral reefs in San Salvador for two weeks before graduating with a Biology Degree from Le Moyne College in Syracuse, New York. She was a familiar face at KC’s Restaurant & Pub, a family-owned restaurant in Guilford, from 2012 to 2019. She most recently held the General Manager position at KC’s, as well as tending bar and waitressing, which allowed her a greater opportunity to interact with and form closer relationships with her customers. When she was younger, Kelly began to express a special interest in houses, drawing floor plans in her spare time and making sure she got the grand tour whenever she visited a new home. At the start of 2018 she made the decision to pursue her real estate license, and within 10 short weeks she had completed and passed the Principles and Practice course and the state test. To gain a higher understanding of her new career, she interned with Leigh Whiteman for three months, which allowed her to take off running. Over the past few years, Kelly has successfully helped many Buyers, Sellers, Landlords, and Renters with all of their real estate needs. Kelly was excited to find that her career in real estate allows her to share her love of houses with others, while helping them to find their dream home. She especially enjoys helping new homebuyers find their first home and making the selling process easier for those selling their parents’ home, especially if they aren’t local. Kelly enjoys making greeting cards, playing board games, solving Escape Rooms, or throwing a Frisbee with her dog, Daisy. She currently lives in Branford with her husband Nolan, Daisy, and 2 cats, Iris and Velcro. |
