Keller Welch is a trusted Lowcountry luxury real estate and new construction specialist, widely recognized for her expertise in custom homes, spec builds, and waterfront construction throughout Bluffton and Hilton Head Island. She fell in love with the Lowcountry long before relocating to Bluffton in 2011, and today the region is where she lives, works, and raises her family.
What truly sets Keller apart is her hands-on, builder-level experience in luxury residential construction. Married to a local luxury home builder, Keller has been directly involved in the design, construction, renovation, and resale of countless custom homes and spec homes for both her family and her clients. She offers rare insight into construction quality, architectural standards, materials, floor plans, timelines, and long-term resale value—making her an invaluable advisor for buyers building from the ground up or purchasing newly constructed homes.
Keller’s experience spans nearly every premier Lowcountry community, from Sea Pines to Palmetto Bluff, as well as Hampton Lake and Hampton Hall. She has lived in multiple gated communities across Bluffton and Hilton Head Island, giving her authentic, first-hand knowledge of community design guidelines, HOA requirements, lifestyle amenities, and buyer preferences—particularly critical when navigating luxury new construction and waterfront building projects.
Her real estate expertise includes luxury new construction, custom-built homes, spec home sales, waterfront properties, land acquisition, resales, investment properties, and select commercial opportunities. Keller frequently collaborates with custom builders, architects, engineers, and designers, guiding clients through complex decisions related to waterfront lot selection, dock permitting, elevation requirements, flood considerations, and coastal construction standards.
Known for her honesty, meticulous attention to detail, and calm, solutions-oriented approach, Keller prides herself on making the building and buying process clear, efficient, and genuinely enjoyable. Her clients value her ability to anticipate challenges before they arise, translate construction complexities into straightforward decisions, and deliver a seamless, concierge-style experience.
A proud graduate of the University of Mississippi (Hotty Toddy!), Keller grew up in Mississippi before making the Lowcountry home. She is married to Edward, a luxury home builder, and together they have three children—Elin, Ward, and Laurel. Outside of real estate, Keller enjoys tennis, time at the beach, and traveling to the Bahamas, where her family owns property and escapes whenever possible—though balancing that with a thriving real estate career and life as a mom of three keeps her firmly grounded.
With deep expertise in custom homes, spec builds, and waterfront construction, along with extensive community knowledge and a passion for elevated service, Keller is a go-to advisor for clients looking to buy, sell, or build luxury homes throughout Bluffton, Hilton Head Island, and the greater Lowcountry.
