Kelly Pelchat
I am a Murfreesboro girl! I fondly remember Cason Lane with nothing but a dairy farm and cotton fields. I also remember when Old Fort Parkway opened to traffic for the first time and my first job as The Talking Christmas Tree in the window of Harvey’s Department Store. Fast forward a few decades and I am currently blessed with 2 adult children; My daughter, who is a Behavioral Dog Trainer in New York and my son, a Teacher and Football Coach at Riverdale (my Alma Mater), 4 sweet Grandbabies, who call me Gigi and 2 cranky kitties. My professional background is Banking, Sales Education and Real Estate. In January of this year, I retired my Real Estate license for the position of Business Development Specialist for Redstone Title Services. Being a new Title company to the area, I am responsible for introducing our Services to Realtors and Mortgage Lenders. In addition, since being the same is boring and everyone needs a sale, I coach new Agents on how to economically create visibility in their community through networking and building relationships. Also, having experience as a Realtor, I love to support new Agents with the information they sometimes lack when explaining the title company’s role to their clients. I love what I do. That makes me a Lucky Murfreesboro Girl.
