My original plan was to become a lawyer…
My original plan was to become a lawyer, but I quickly realized in college that I was WAY more fired up about my business classes than my PoliSci classes, so I rerouted and decided to major in Business Marketing instead. What was I going to do with it? I had NO clue, but knew I would figure it out along the way.
During college, I picked up a job working at a retail store during the summers in between school at our local mall. I fell IN LOVE with customer service, but definitely didn’t want mall hours—I wanted more freedom to create something BIG.
After doing some research about different industries, I decided to look more into what it takes to work in real estate—and quickly realized that it might be a great career for me based on my passions and interests. An opportunity presented itself to interview at a local brokerage for an assistant position, and I immediately jumped at the chance to get myself inside the biz.
...which led me to my first job in the industry!
Enter my second family: T & E Realty (though I didn’t know it at the time!) T&E shaped my career and I’m forever grateful. I spent my first two years as their assistant, and worked my booty off to become a full-blown real estate agent in 2013.
Shortly after obtaining my license, I really fell in love with this business: the personalized customer service, the ever-changing transactions, the problem solving, the teamwork—I was hooked. Tracy and Emilio (aka, T&E!) came to me quickly after I got my brokers license and asked me to become a third partner in their brokerage at the end of 2015. It was a match made in heaven…. when I say I’m forever grateful, I mean it!
After 5 amazing years as business partners, in 2020 I decided to take my wild dreams and ideas on my own journey. With T&E’s blessing, I moved my license over to the fast-growing, forward-thinking brokerage, eXp Realty, and then, The Real Estate Collective was officially born!
My team and I are here to be your go-to, all-inclusive resource during the home buying and selling experience so we can make every step of the process as seamless and stress-free as possible.

“Kelley Armstrong went above and beyond in all aspects of our sale and purchases. She was quick to respond to any questions and handled any issue that arose in a professional and timely manner. We have bought and sold properties over the last 20 years from many different realtors and Kelley exceeded all of them, she was by far the most informative and efficient relator we have had the pleasure of working with!”
