Kelly Powers

Your Amelia Island Luxury Agent!

What do Clients Say?

Fantastic!Kelly was amazing, she went to so many different properties with us, helped us narrow down the location and weighed the pros and cons of building on a lot vs. a current build. Kelly listens to your needs and wants, has great advice and made the lot purchase seamless. She handled any hurdles that came up and was extremely professional and responsive. I have already recommended her to family and friends. She has become a dear friend and you couldn’t ask for a more ethical, trustworthy realtor.

Outstanding Realtor! Kelly is courteous, professional, and has an incredibly high level of knowledge in real estate. She worked tirelessly and kept us well-informed throughout our home selling process. Kelly has a delightful personality and truly stands out amongst the rest!

Sweet and Hard-Working AgentKelly was recommended to us by a friend and we couldn’t be more thankful to have been introduced to her! We were moving from out of the area, which could have been very stressful, however Kelly made it easy for us. She was our eyes and ears “on the ground” and was always one step ahead in helping us find our new home. She is extremely knowledgeable about the area and very well connected. Kelly worked many weekends for us since those were the only days we could take time off of work to come tour homes and neighborhoods. She also took time to truly find out what was important to us in a home-buying experience and made sure to deliver on all of those things. We ended up finding the perfect home for our growing family and we can’t thank Kelly enough! But, Kelly’s support didn’t stop after we had purchased the home; she has checked in several times to make sure all is well with us and our home. Kelly will be the first person we recommend to someone needing to buy or sell a home! We also feel that we have gained a good friend in Kelly during the process. Thank you, Kelly, for all you have done for us!

Above and Beyond Amazing!Kelly sold our home 120k over asking price with an incredible lease back option and we couldn’t be more ecstatic! We had 7 offers which Kelly talked through with us and answered any questions we had. Kelly was truly there every step of the way. She helped me prep the house for a last minute photo session- rearranged furniture, helped me mulch and plant plants- she made our house look amazing! She was here for two open houses, for inspection, appraisal and closing and she fielded any question or concern we had. Kelly was incredibly professional, responsive and we really felt everything she did was in our best interest. We were blown away with the quality of the pictures, drone shots and 3D options as well as all the marketing materials she made for the house. We still feel like it’s a dream that we were able to sell our house as fast as we did and for an incredible price!!! We used Kelly to buy land as well which also was an amazing experience. We highly recommend Kelly for buying or selling a home. She truly provides concierge service. Kelly is the BEST!

About Kelly

Kelly Powers is originally from Westport, Connecticut. She moved to Amelia Island with her husband, Kevin, an author, their twin daughters, Pauline & Louise, and a rambunctious German Shorthaired Pointer named Penny, hoping to provide her girls with a similar environment to the one where she grew up.   

Kelly holds a Bachelor's in Studio Art from Virginia Tech and a Master's in Fashion Design from Instituto Polimoda in Florence, Italy. Her time working in the fashion industry in New York, on photo shoots and fashion shows for NY Fashion Week, translates well into staging and preparing properties for the best first impression. 

Before her experience in fashion, Kelly spent seven years in the insurance industry, so she is very well versed in reading contracts and paying close attention to details.  

Kelly has a long history with older homes. Having grown up in one from 1840, renovated a mixed-use 5,000 square foot property from the early 1900s, and now living and renovating one from 1879, she is well acquainted with proactively avoiding potential pitfalls.  

With previous experience as a real estate investor, Kelly enjoys researching a property's potential for buyers and sellers based on zoning, density, and rental projections.  

As an avid supporter of the arts, Kelly enjoys "artfully uniting extraordinary homes with extraordinary lives." She works out of The Atlantic Contemporary Art Gallery, next to Red Otter, and stages listings with art from the gallery.  

While she is not from Fernandina Beach, her experience of frequently moving in the past allows Kelly to connect with buyers from out of town because she knows how much it means to have a welcoming guide in a new area. Kelly is a member of the Chamber of Commerce, gives blood regularly, and is a Girl Scout Co-Leader for her daughter's Daisy Troop. She is a Main Street Sustainer and volunteers on the Promotions Council for the Main Street Fernandina Beach Program to support our beautiful downtown.
