Kelly Boudreau grew up in the residential real estate business. Her mother, the highly successful, well-known, even legendary agent Marilyn Rowland, represented buyers and sellers across Atlanta for over Forty years, starting her practice in 1976.
“She trained me on every detail of what makes a first-class real estate agent. She was meticulous about the client experience. I was lucky enough to work with her for more than 20 years before she died in 2019,” says Kelly about her beloved mother.
Kelly adopted her mother’s motto, “Old Fashion Values, New Fashion Thinking,” which continues to be the guiding approach to her work.
Kelly, who’s been re-selling homes in Atlanta for over twenty-five years, has won numerous awards and accolades, but it’s one specific advantage that makes her stand out in a crowd of agents. Kelly has extensive experience in new construction, an expertise she has honed for the last twenty-five years. Working directly with developers on the entire home building process, Kelly’s studied approach to new builds gives her great insight into home trends and those details that make a house feel fresh and modern. Is it a mud room, a home movie theatre, or barn doors that make a must-have house? Kelly knows the answer. This body of knowledge, which she regularly passes on to builders and clients of resale homes alike, gives her a birds-eye view of the market and makes her an indispensable consultant to those with whom she works.
it's no wonder 100% of Kelly’s clients come to her from a referral.
“Kelly is an agent’s agent,” says Travis Reed, President of HOME Luxury Real Estate, the residential brokerage firm that Kelly joined in 2022. “There are few agents I know that are equally successful in the resale market as they are in new construction. Kelly is truly a one-of-a-kind agent in that way,” he continued. “She’s hands down the best new construction agent in Atlanta. Her attention to detail is unmatched and invaluable when negotiating new construction contracts,” he added.
Here are a few of Kelly’s current listings.
