Originally from New York, I was living in Florida working for The Walt Disney Company when I met my wife, Mary Liz. In 2014, we moved to Evans, GA to be closer to family and start a family of our own. I'm now the proud father of two: Penelope and Leo. Whenever I'm not working or spending time with family, you’ll find me on the golf course.

I'm the Broker & Owner of Dogwood Real Estate, and strive to provide first class service to all of our clients!

Director of Marketing

I'm originally from Dallas, Texas, but quickly acclimated to the Augusta life when we moved here in 2014. I'm married to the owner, Marcelo, and we have loved being here with our 2 kiddos. I worked as an administrative assistant in different department areas for about 9 years when I finally decided to be a stay-at-home mom.

As a fashion merchandising and design major, I love making things look pretty with my own flair. So, I'm excited to be a part of this team as the Director of Marketing. Know that you can have confidence in choosing Dogwood. We strive for excellence and superior service!

I whole-heartedly believe in the saying "Home is where you make it." I have moved 17 times so far in my life due to my father serving in the Navy, and now my Husband serving in the Army. With our travels, I have definitely become a people person and love to meet new people! My husband, Chris, and I have made Georgia our home, with our 2 dogs. When we're not traveling and exploring, I love to cook and spend time with Family and Friends. Especially if it is at a Lake or on a Beach!

I am the Office Manager at Dogwood Real Estate. I love to help out in any way I can to stay ahead and help keep the ball moving!

While I’m not originally from Augusta, I have grown deeply fond of the area and proudly call “The Garden City” home. The Army stationed me here in 2017 where I would eventually meet my wife, Jena. We tied the knot in 2021 and now have a beautiful baby boy named Jackson and the best dog ever, Lainey. If I’m not working or with the family, you can catch me on the golf course or putting out content for my show, ForTheNation Podcast.

I’m a licensed Real Estate agent and a proud new member of the Dogwood team. I am passionate about helping people achieve their real estate goals and always aspire to provide top-tier service!

A graduate of Clemson University, I grew up in Greenville, SC and moved to the Augusta area in 2018. Living in Evans now, I turned to Real Estate in 2019 after working in sales in the chemical industry. Besides the real estate world, I love spending my free time outdoors.
I love my job for the sole fact of meeting new people and creating lifelong friendships. My goal is to make the home buying and selling process as easy and fun as it should be!
Kelley Brands
Licensed Real Estate Agent

I have been licensed since 2009 and I believe that helping people purchase or sell their home is a privilege. I have Midwestern roots, being originally from Kansas City, but have lived in the South for over 30 years. I have been married to my best friend for 40 years and we have four adult children and four grandchildren. My family is my life, my hobby and every part of what I do and what I love. I have been given so much, and giving back is very important to me. I am proud to contribute to the Children Miracle Network and to support animal rescue organizations.
I strive to uphold the Realtor® Code of Ethics and am proud that ethics is a big part of our organization. I love working with people to help meet their real estate needs and always strive to provide unparalleled service. To me, it’s so much more than selling houses. It’s all about people and relationships. I am so fortunate to be doing what I love!
