Welcome back to another episode of the Real Estate Excellence Podcast! Today, I have Kelly Bello on the podcast.  Kelly Bello is a Real Estate Agent in Jacksonville Florida. She has been in the business for 6 years and she absolutely loves what she does. Kelly started as a Mortgage Loan Officer with Bank of America and had great success in that role. After learning so much about real estate, she decided that she wanted to make a MAJOR and scary leap of faith by leaving a secured job she had been with for over 8 years and starting her own business as a Realtor. Although very challenging at first, she had her brokerage standing beside her guiding her and leading her through those difficult moments which inspired her to keep going. 

 

See her story link: https://www.instagram.com/p/CQRasCBhiMU/ to learn more about her journey. Now, celebrating so many wins with a goal of building a team, she has made "The List" in the Jacksonville Business Journal, a true career dream of hers. Additionally, she has made her first hire to her team and is looking forward to what God has in store for her in 2022!
