Known for her market expertise, negotiation strength, and disciplined, client-focused approach, Kelly delivers strategically guided, financially sound results while providing exceptional, detail-driven service from start to finish.

As a Certified Senior Advisor (CSA)® and proud member of Compass Plus—Compass’ specialized division supporting older adults and their families through real estate transitions—Kelly brings both expertise and empathy to complex life-stage moves, from selling longtime residences to planning next chapters.

Kelly is the Principal of the Pinnacle Team, one of Fairfield County’s most successful real estate teams, and a Compass Founding Agent serving Darien, Rowayton, Norwalk, and New Canaan. She is a highly regarded local expert known for producing consistent outcomes through data-driven strategy, precise execution, and strong collaborative leadership.

Kelly’s path into real estate began when she met her business partner, Meggan Douglas, who represented her in two Rowayton home purchases.

A University of Connecticut graduate, Kelly has lived in Rowayton since 2005. She values the area’s coastal lifestyle, deep community roots, and the opportunity to share firsthand local insight with her clients. Outside of work, Kelly treasures time with her family, including twin sons who attend Florida State University and her beloved dog, Tally the Boxer. She also enjoys boating on Long Island Sound, attending beach concerts, exploring new destinations, and cheering on the FSU football team.
