Kelly Stuart

A Raleigh native, Kelly is now part of the Carolinas Commercial Real Estate team with Sun Coast Partners Commercial in Sunset Beach. She started her career in economic development and has worked in project management and business development roles in organizations across North and South Carolina, Kentucky and Virginia, establishing and building relationships with prospects and site selection consultants representing business and industry of all shape and size across the US.  The move to commercial real estate was a natural one when she joined forces with David Stuart in 2016. Her knowledge of zoning, permitting and commercial construction, along with the needs of small business and the ability to help them navigate the requirements and regulations of different municipalities gave Kelly the competitive edge she needed to grow the already strong portfolio of business started by David two decades ago. Kelly is the Broker in Charge of the Sun Coast Partners Commercial Sunset Beach office and leader of the Carolinas Commercial Real Estate Team. She is a CCIM Candidate, North Carolina Economic Developers Association member, Past President of the REALTORS® Commercial Alliance of Southeast North Carolina, is a member of Cape Fear CREW (Commercial Real Estate for Women), the International Council of Shopping Centers, and is Past Chair of the South Brunswick Islands Business Development Committee.  The Carolinas Commercial Team represent more than $55 million in retail and mixed-use commercial property, including nearly 200,000 square feet of shopping center, medical, retail and professional office properties and sales or development of residential, retail, hotel and hospitality development sites across the South Brunswick Islands of NC.
