Kelly Brais has been one of Charlotte’s leading realtors for over 10 years. She has been ranked in the top 1% in company sales for seven consecutive years (2011-2017), first with Wilkinson ERA Real Estate and then with her own company, Delivering the Carolinas Realty, which opened in 2016 to provide clients with personalized care and service that continues long after the day of closing.

Fluent in English and Arabic, Kelly began her career in real estate in California back in 1988, by investing in rental properties and flipping homes. After 18 years’ experience and two real estate crashes, in 2006 she relocated to Charlotte determined to reestablish herself in a completely different market. Within a year, Kelly became a licensed Broker and Realtor in North Carolina and South Carolina, and she quickly made a name for herself in the industry by surpassing all sales expectations. In recognition of her achievements Kelly has received several awards for excellence, including the 5 Star Professional Award for Overall Customer Satisfaction for seven consecutive years (2011-2017), Leader’s Circle for five straight years (2013-2017) and Top Gun/Top Overall Agent for 2014.

Kelly credits her achievements to hard work, dedication, quality service and a genuine concern for her clients. For these reasons, a significant percentage of her business is from repeat clients and referrals from past clients. Kelly is currently working to expand her business and firmly establish it as one of Charlotte’s premiere realty companies.

Kelly believes in giving back to the community and is an active member of her church, Charlotte’s International House, which helps integrate foreign-born residents in addition to several other non-profit organizations. In her personal time, she enjoys entertaining, photography, home decor and drawing.
