Kelli Baskerville Kelli began her career in property management in 2019 in the Brookland neighborhood of Washington, D.C.—the heart of the nation’s capital. She quickly advanced within the field, earning her Certified Manager of Community Associations (CMCA) designation and developing a strong expertise in community association management. Originally from Minnesota, Kelli moved to the D.C. area in 2015 for what was meant to be a short-term stay. During that time, she explored her passion for hospitality as a barista and bartender before settling down and starting a family. A classically trained pianist, Kelli enjoys keeping up her musical skills in her spare time. Now back in Minnesota with her husband and growing family, she loves to travel, cook, bake—well, just about everything—and create custom miniatures.
