Celebrating 15 Years of Excellence: Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Foothills

This year marks a significant milestone for Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Foothills as we proudly celebrate 15 years of serving the Hickory/ Catawba Valley Area with dedication, integrity, and passion. From our humble beginnings to becoming a trusted name in real estate, our journey has been one of growth, transformation, and unwavering commitment to excellence.

Our Story: From Humble Beginnings to Remarkable Growth

Founded on February 19, 2010, by Mike Kelly Jr. and Kathleen Kelly, we started out as Hickory Real Estate Group Inc. with just two agents and a shared vision — to provide exceptional real estate services with a personal touch combined with embracing new technology. Through hard work, dedication, and a client-first philosophy, we quickly earned the trust of our community and established ourselves as a reliable resource for all things real estate.

A New Chapter: Becoming Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Foothills

In 2022, we took a significant step forward by joining the Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate network and rebranding as Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Foothills. This transition allowed us to offer even more value to our clients and our agents by aligning with one of the most recognizable brands known for its commitment to lifestyle, home, and community. Today, we are proud to have grown to a team of over 40 agents, all dedicated to providing the same excellent service that has defined us from the start.

Looking Ahead: Our Commitment to the Future

As we celebrate 15 incredible years, we remain deeply grateful to our clients, agents, partners, and community members who have supported us along the way. Our growth would not have been possible without your trust and confidence.
Looking to the future, we are more committed than ever to helping individuals and families find the perfect place to call home. With our talented team of over 40 amazing agents and the strength of the Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate brand, we are confident that the best is yet to come.

Thank You for 15 Amazing Years

Here’s to celebrating our past, embracing the future, and continuing to serve our community with the same passion and dedication that have been our hallmark for 15 years. Thank you for being part of our journey — we look forward to many more years of proving that in our area Nobody Knows Homes Better.
