Congratulations go out to JCBIA member, Kellie Ashley for achieving her Accredited Builder designation through the North Carolina Builder Institute!!!
Kellie Ashley is the Owner of Kellie Ashley Homes as a Builder and Real Estate Agent. After 30 years behind a desk at Wachovia Securities, Merrill Lynch Wealth Management and
commercial property management, Kellie was ready for hands on work. She works onsite, side by side with subcontractors, in the rain, mud and sawdust. Kellie grew up working at South of the Border and summers in the tobacco fields around Fairmont NC, so hard work is in her blood. She then took off to ECU where she earned a degree in Housing & Management and later a Master of Trust & Investment Management from Campbell University. Working in a male dominated field, Kellie feels education and training gives her the extra confidence she needs to meet the challenges and changes in the North Carolina residential construction industry. In 2019 Kellie became Fannie to another precious granddaughter and earlier this year, became a NC Onsite Wastewater Contractor. Kellie looks forward to tea parties, the sound of nail guns and watching backhoes dig into the Johnston County dirt.
"I have benefited from the NC Builder Institute through the diverse course offerings available. I have been able to enroll in courses that meet my individual business model. Every course has reinforced my knowledge, given me extra confidence, and provided me with information that keeps me up to date on new codes and systems." Kellie
