About the host
Hosted by Kelly Kontz
Born & raised in Minnesota and currently reside in Omaha Nebraska, but we really fell in love with Arizona when our oldest son attended ASU. I have been in the real estate industry for over 20 years and currently own a real estate group and home staging company in Omaha. Having a property in Arizona was a dream come true. Personally, I love to laugh with friends & family. I enjoy design, travel and concerts - in the pit! Raised with Midwest Values to be honest, hardworking & kind.
