About Me

Born into real estate.
Built on relationships.

I got into real estate my sophomore year in college as an assistant to a local agent, and the rest is history. With my father leading Shelley Custom Homes as CEO, I grew up with a solid background and wealth of knowledge regarding home structure and maintenance.

My Story

From the model homes to the top of the market

I sold my first house as a kid because I would sit in my dad's model homes. I learned construction of custom homes from the ground up and grew up with a solid foundation in real estate. My father's Shelley Custom Homes gave me deep knowledge of home structure, maintenance, and what makes a property truly valuable.

Through my leadership, vision, and hustle, the Shelley Home Group has grown into a renowned and well-known local brand that has been recognized at a national level for top-of-the-line marketing, an elite level of expertise in all things real estate, and a deep commitment to community and giving back.

My core life value is creating high-quality relationships, which is why SHG's business is 80% referral and relationship based. SHG's extreme brand loyalty is most frequently attributed to the diligence, follow-through, responsiveness, and intelligence that I bring to the table — and SHG clients trust and expect the same from every SHG team member.

I'm passionate about creating memorable client experiences and ensuring every client integrates into the SHG Community, where they have a trusted life-long resource for all things home, all things Baltimore, and all things related to real estate and wealth building.

I'm passionate about community, mentoring young agents, and making a meaningful impact whenever I can.

"Helping people gain a huge asset while my kids learn and work with me is my joy."
