Keely McNeal

Knowing that there are so many amazing agents working hard each day to help buyers and sellers, Keely McNeal is honored to be among those named as regional Rookie of the Year finalists. “I work hard every day to make sure my clients are taken care of to the best of their ability and to be recognized this way is incredible,” she says. “I am grateful for this career and the chance to change lives every day.”

McNeal explains that her broker’s faith in her has been instrumental in her rookie year success. “In real estate, it can be really easy to quit or to compare yourself to others who have been in the business longer than you, but you have to surround yourself with individuals who will lift you up, encourage you and empower you,” she says. “Where you choose to hang your license can make or break you.”

Having the ability to change people’s lives for the better is the best part of her career as a real estate professional, says McNeal. “It is an incredible career where you get to hand the keys of a beautiful home to a hard-working family or assist a homeowner in cashing out on their equity to help them on their next adventure in life,” she explains. “Real estate has the magnitude to change one’s life completely, and I see it everyday—that is what I love.”
