With 18+ years of experience successfully selling and managing real estate properties, my approach is simple: building great relationships is primary and the foundation to success. As a hands-on CEO and committed franchise leader, I love that I get to help others succeed in the real estate market and build their own business.

I know real estate and property management inside and out. In just over a 10-year period, I sold more than 1500 homes, and throughout my career I’ve been blessed to receive recognition and awards for my real estate expertise, including being ranked #98 in the Wall Street Journal’s Top 400 Sales Professionals Nationwide and Realtor of the Year (2008), plus consistently being part of the top 50 of Keller Williams’s teams (2008-2010). I can attest that real estate is truly the best investment – people will always need a place to live, no matter what the economy.

As CEO, co-owner, and co-founder of Keyrenter, every day I get to work with passionate franchisees and help them achieve their dream of owning a successful property management business. A steadfast believer in the golden rule, I strive to lead by example and manage every property as if it were my own. And I also enjoy talking with folks who are thinking about becoming a franchisee – it’s always a joy to be able to answer burning questions and provide real, in the trenches examples from my own experience.

Whether for business or pleasure, I love to travel and, since business is what drives me, I’ve always got a great business book I’m reading. I also love the sand dunes, riding my motorcycle, and spending time with my wonderful family.

I’m Samantha Skelly, most people call me Skelly, Skellz, Samwich, Spark Plug or Mom - you can choose your fav flavor.

What’s up new friend, I am so grateful you’re here.

For most of my life I’ve going against the grain and wanted to understand how we could do this ‘life’ thing differently. With more fun, more joy and more play. I’ve been obsessed with cracking the code on human potential and inspiring people to empower themselves.
I can’t empower you, I’m not God, or some ancient guru living in a temple. I’m just a regular Canadian chick who is obsessed with tacos, loves slip ’n slides, drops a few too many f-bombs (according to my Mom) loves pranking people for no reason and gets high off human connection.

I can’t empower you, BUT - I can inspire you to understand how to empower yourself.
Here’s the cool thing about this all…

We’ve been given everything we need inside our bodies to feel the way we so desperately want to feel (cliche AF, I get it) but hear me out for a hot minute…

Inside of you right now is everything you need to feel all you desire - think about this a sec, why do we do ANYTHING in life?

…it’s to feel something. More love More fulfillment More connection More ease More play
