Jessy Kelly
Residential Sales
Helping You to New Horizons
Jessy is a dedicated real estate professional who takes a supportive approach to guiding people through key life transitions. Born in Whakatane, she has a strong connection to the Eastern Bay of Plenty and a genuine appreciation for the lifestyle it offers.
Jessy sold six Ohope properties alongside other homes across the region in her first twelve months in residential sales; a result she credits to listening carefully, marketing thoughtfully, and tailoring her approach to suit each client and each property.
Before moving into real estate, Jessy spent a decade teaching at a local secondary school, refining her communication, problem-solving, and organisational skills; expertise she now applies to her work with clients. She understands that real estate decisions can feel overwhelming and is committed to making the process clear and straightforward. A great listener with a people-first approach, she builds relationships based on trust, honesty, and care, ensuring clients feel supported at every step.
Clients consistently describe Jessy as a calm, attentive guide who is easy to reach, well-prepared, and genuinely interested in what they want to achieve. They speak about her flair for design and staging, her in-depth local market knowledge, and her ability to roll up her sleeves and solve problems as they arise. It is this blend of warmth and capability that defines the experience of working with her.
What sets Jessy apart is her creative eye for detail, the way she sells the lifestyle behind a home rather than just the four walls, and the genuinely tailored service she offers from first conversation through to settlement.
After relocating from the Western Bay, Jessy and her husband made Ohope their home in 2019. They enjoy spending time at the beach and value the area's strong sense of community and relaxed lifestyle. Beyond real estate, Jessy enjoys activities that inspire creativity, balance, and transformation. Whether it is yoga, photography, or hands-on projects like renovating and gardening, she finds fulfilment in thoughtful design and attention to detail.
Always striving to grow and adapt, she values research, innovation, and professional development to stay ahead in an ever-evolving industry. Her forward-thinking approach ensures she can anticipate changes and provide relevant, informed advice.

Jessy was an incredibly patient listener who took the time to address all of our questions and concerns - something we truly appreciated as first-time homeowners. She consistently came prepared with information tailored to our situation, kept us on track with helpful reminders, and was always prompt in her communication. As busy parents of two kids and two dogs, we especially valued her efficiency and respect for our time. Her flexibility in offering both in-person meetings and virtual options via Teams made the entire process much more manageable. Jessy was an absolute pleasure to work with, and we would highly recommend her.

Jessy has pride in her community and is an advocate for Ōhope and all it has to offer, with strong local market knowledge. She understands your vision and goals, and builds a relationship to work with you on your home sale. A communicator with the ability to listen and understand your needs, with strong negotiation skills. Jessy is supportive and always willing to assist, a great problem solver who rolls up her sleeves and will do what it takes. She has an eye for the positives and builds on them. Jessy sold our home in a short time, she was a delight to deal with, very professional, and believed that our home would sell.

I cannot recommend Jessy highly enough to sell your property. Jessy gave me peace of mind through the sales process as she is so polished in her professionalism in all areas, including planning, her negotiation skills, and following up with open home reviews. Jessy regularly touched base with me and always had time for all my questions. She has an in-depth knowledge of the local market and as a result I felt confident and trusted Jessy to take me through the process step by step. What really stands out for me is how warm and personable Jessy is. From the start she was genuinely interested in what I wanted to achieve and none of my questions were too trivial for her, and she always made time to answer my questions. I never felt left 'hanging' as Jessy is really efficient with correspondence. Jessy also went over and above for me with staging my property once I had left my home and she really has a flair for design. Thank you Jessy, I will really miss working with you!

Jessy Kelly is an outstanding real estate agent and a good person. Her honesty, communication and desire to help made the sale of our family home in Ōhope easy and successful given we are Auckland based. Jessy continually went above and beyond what we expected. We would not hesitate to recommend Jessy to anyone thinking of selling their house.

Super fortunate to have found Jessy. Her preparation for each property was outstanding, providing excellent information - more than we had seen with other properties.

Jessy was an absolute delight to work with in helping me find my first home. She is efficient, professional and went above and beyond my expectations with getting me viewings around my busy schedule. Jessy listened to my needs and I actually felt heard. She is very knowledgeable, trustworthy and very calming in the whirlwind that is first time homeownership. I would recommend her to anyone looking for help to find a new home and she will no doubt be my realtor if I can ever bring myself to part with the beautiful home she helped me find!
