About:
"Dreams have Little to do with Logic
and everything to do with Inner Happiness"...
I believe that anything is possible when you dream, aim towards goals and remain happy while trying to achieve! I love my position as a Real Estate Professional and I enjoy helping others make "Their Dreams Come True" during their search for the perfect home.
I have been involved in the Real Estate Industry since 1999. I started as an Office Secretary managing and fielding work from 13 Brokers and 3 Assistants, Answering Phones, Typical office duties, etc. I realized how much I enjoyed the Real Estate Industry, so I went on to acquire my Sales Agent License.
Professional Experience
From 1997-1999, I worked for a building/remodling company before getting involved in Real Estate. I framed, roofed, drywalled, installed septic systems, hardwood floors, painted, landscaped, etc... So "When I look at property I see it through the eyes of more than just a Sales Associate, I look at it from "An All Around" point of view!..."
1999-2003 I worked for two Top Producing Brokers in the Greater Portland area. Within these two very "HIGH" volumed offices, I gained valuable experience in Customer Service, Marketing and Developing New Construction, Residential Listings and Sales, Waterfront/Luxury Homes, Land, Working with Buyers and Sellers in state and around the country.
It was an honor working with both Brokers, the knowledge I gained has helped guide me throughout my career as a Real Estate Professional.
2003 I made the leap of faith and went out on my own as a real estate associate. Scared yet determined within my first ten months I sold slightly over $5 Million in Volume Sales and working with some of the best clients ever.
In April 2004, I was honored to have opened my doors as Broker/Owner of "Real Estate Exchange" located in Falmouth Foreside, Maine, personally closing over $10 Million in volume sales for the year. I establishing a Wonderful Agency, 6 full time agents, a full time secretary, I had a personal assistant who was wonderful to work beside and whom has become a great friend Kristin Reynolds.
In 2007, I had a wonderful "Family" at Real Estate Exchange, still growing even with the fall of the housing market. But as the Universe will have it, in 2010, I made the hardest business decision ever, to close my doors and move on to a "New Family" with Allen & Selig Realty, based out of North Yarmouth, Maine.
Why Work with Kelly Parker?
I truly enjoy what I do... I think that my good fortune has come from being driven, hardworking and having the chance way back when to work with some of the finest broker's Maine has, in return they gave me an opportunity and years of knowledge with hands on experience which I then developed my own business practices in a short period of time.
I am very Energetic and Strive to do the very best for my Clients, my Agency, the Industry Associates and Myself, I encourage those around me to do the same. It makes us all grow as "People"...
I am very happy at Allen & Selig Realty, I have found what they call "personal time" something I didn't have much of as a Business Broker/Owner, time I didn't make before... That has given me great balance and allowed me to go back to my "Other-Life's-Passion" the music world.
More You May Not Have Known...
All my life I have been involved in the music industry, from standing on the back of my fathers truck belting out "Delta Dwan" with a jump rope in my hand singing to the neighborhood~ to a live professional stage with a real mic, infront of 40,000 plus people.
Music grounds me, it gives life out side of real estate. I juggle both careers ambitiously, it keeps me Alive and Balanced~
I work closely with many area charitable organizations which gives me great satisfaction in the power to helping others smile... Music IS the Universal Language!
