Kelly Darling

COO & Co-Founder at AgentHUB 360

Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, Kelly has been a student of business since she was fifteen years old. Not surprising when you realize she's a former professional figure skater, who later turned coach.

Coaching is one of the many things that come naturally to Kelly. Through years of building businesses, her purpose has always been to inspire others to feed their soul, perform at their best and transform their lives. That powerful combination of developing business by developing people is the reason she is the perfect person to be their COO.

In her first venture, Kelly bought a clothing store and expanded it into a chain of successful fashion stores. Typical of Kelly, while building that little empire, she bought an airplane and taught herself to fly. "Why? To get out of my own way," she said. "I wanted to learn how to coach the staff to run the stores effectively without my directing everything." Her goal was to empower each person to think like a business owner: "It was a game-changer for them, the stores, and me."

Those early years were also the beginning of her real estate career, starting with buying the buildings her stores were in and leading to investing in dozens of other properties. Over time, Kelly has owned, managed and developed investments in numerous states and asset classes - from single-family and condos to multifamily and commercial. Seeing the challenges agents were having prompted Kelly to get her real estate license in 2009 so she could create a unique "Flex-Team" model that was to become part of the foundation of AgentHUB 360 several years later.

With AgentHUB 360 built to fuel Agents, Kelly's passion for developing people and teams is a key in driving their culture and their clients' success.
