Hi, I am Kelli Semar. I look forward to meeting you. I was born and raised in Cleveland, TX, and know the area and the people well. For many years, before my real estate career, I competed in rodeo and my primary job was training kids and horses. Cleveland isn't just a place to live, it is home to me and my family. I am always excited to show a new client around. My husband Danial and I are faith and family-centered and we keep those values as we work with our clients and our team of agents. I always say "I want to take the best care of my clients because Cleveland is a small town and I want to keep a positive relationship with everyone I come in contact with from day to day." Relationship and word of mouth are the bulk of the clients that I work with. Dan and I are the managers of the Cleveland JLA Realty office and have an awesome team of lenders, title companies, inspectors and fellow agents that keep the needs of the client in mind. It is super important to pick an agent that has the experience to handle anything that might come up in a transaction. I focus on customer service and strategic negotiating. Over the years I have handled many types of transactions, my favorite love is rural and ranch properties. I also enjoy teaching and helping first home buyers, take that first step into home ownership. No matter what your needs are, I strive to help as many people as I can every year, I hope you are one of those. Feel free to stop by the office anytime or give me a call today! I would love to get you started on your real estate goals.

Being a real estate agent is akin to being an educator. In fact, my sixteen years as a middle school English teacher have served as a great foundation for the organization, communication, and relationship skills necessary to support clients whom I serve in their endeavors to buy and sell a home. As a full-time real estate professional, it is important that I continue to grow in ways that fulfill my personal and professional interests as the two often cross-over with each other. I love to indulge in reading a good novel, listening to podcasts and audiobooks, searching for home décor inspiration, and watching my high-school son play football. Serving clients in their pursuit to buy, sell, or invest in property is the icing on the cake (strawberry Bavarian with buttercream frosting to be exact).

Just as the strength and soundness of a home are only as reliable as the foundation upon which the house is built, the same may be said about relationships. Loyalty, trust, and commitment are the foundation of every one of my personal relationships, and in working with me, those, too, will cross-over. You should expect to receive a level of service reflective of these cornerstones regardless of your prior experience with real estate or your price point. Whether it's your first home or your forever home, what matters to me is what matters most to you.

As a Realtor, my focus is you the client. I am extremely driven and do all the research to yield the best result. Whether you're buying, selling or investing contact me and I will help you meet your real estate goals. I look forward to working with you.
