As a second generation real estate professional, Kelly claims that real estate actually runs in her blood. She grew up in Ft. Lauderdale, but after one visit to Lake Wylie in 1997, she knew that this was the place she wanted to call “home.” Kelly and her husband, Stephen, along with their two teenage boys and dog, Jabber, now live in River Hills and can’t imagine living anywhere else.
Kelly is committed to her clients and walks them through every step of the buying or selling process. She wears many professional hats in her career, including advocate, researcher, decorator, protector, hard-bargain driver, truth-teller, hand-holder, pavement pounder and cheerleader.

The Lake Wylie Realty Story
In 2013, Don Stephens and David McCorkle, combined their decades of Real Estate experience in the Lake Wylie area and became partners in Lake Wylie Realty.
The decision to make Lake Wylie Realty stand out in the crowd would not only be to sell “Waterfront Properties” in North and South Carolina but to sell a “Lifestyle”. Their business plan would be to provide exceptional services which included online access, marketing tools, experienced agents and the ability to show waterfront homes and properties by boat. These are services which they continue to provide.
Don Stephens previously worked for First Properties of the Carolinas and River Hills Realty. His decades of experience selling homes in the Lake Wylie area earned him the nickname “Mister Lake Wylie”, boasting over 400 waterfront sales in his career.
David McCorkle began in residential real estate in 1978 before going into real estate development and planning. As a lifelong area resident, who built his own home on the lake, David’s career had come full circle back to where he started.
The pair opened Lake Wylie Realty at 1 Executive Court, in what was for years the First Properties of the Carolinas space in the Wilkerson Building. Later the same year Quinn Johnson joined the team as broker/partner. As a Licensed Broker and with past experience in Development, Commercial & Residential sales, he would be a great asset to the company.
In 2018, the office was relocated to 4555 Charlotte Highway and in the same year Kelly Trites joined the team as Realtor/Broker. Kelly specializes in residential properties and is a Strategic Listing Specialist®. In 2021 the office was closed due to the pandemic with renewed plans to secure a new office location in 2022.
Listings generally include River Hills, Tega Cay, the Allison Creek area and other desirable locations in the price range from $225,000 to over $1.5 million.
