Kelsey Bates
Designated Broker + Partner
With more than a decade of real estate experience in the Wood River Valley, Kelsey recently stepped into the role of Designated Broker for her office, a milestone that reflects both her leadership within the industry and her commitment to serving clients at the highest level. She works with buyers and sellers throughout the valley, with a particular passion for helping families and first-time Sun Valley buyers find not just the right property, but the right lifestyle and community fit.
Whether guiding clients through their first home purchase, a vacation property investment, or the sale of a longtime family home, Kelsey is known for her grounded approach, market knowledge, and genuine enthusiasm for the valley she calls home.
Kelsey is responsive, available and incredibly knowledgeable about the area and market. Every request we made was handled immediately and in some cases offered before we had a chance to ask. For our first property, we were not local so our agent was on sight on our behalf which was appreciated. We were removed from the current Sun Valley real estate environment so her guidance on offer strategy was both successful and appreciated.

You are honestly the first realtor I've worked with who truly know how to make a deal happen instead of just pushing paperwork around. Your guidance, responsiveness, and ability to navigate everything made a huge difference for us, and we really appreciate it. Thank you for helping us get into our new home!
