Today we’re pulling up a chair for Kelsey O’Connor — Hamptons realtor, personal stylist, founding Power Haus partner, and forever fashion girl.
From designing looks in high school and navigating the fashion world in NYC to launching a full real estate career (and new brand) in the Hamptons, Kelsey’s journey is all about evolution without losing your edge. We talk about what it’s really like to start over — from city hustle to beach town pace — and how she’s merging two industries that don’t usually mix: high fashion and high-end homes.
This episode dives into reinvention, Curated (her new fashion-meets-real-estate brand), and the unexpected power of knowing your personal style — in business and in life.
✨ What we get into:
- Leaving the city… but keeping the edge
- Starting over as a new agent in a saturated market
- From NYFW to Serhant: making bold career pivots
- Why personal style still matters — even in real estate
- Launching her brand Curated (and what’s next)
- Networking, personal branding, and building trust with clients
- Kelsey’s hot takes: which drinks are a scam and why “quirky” isn’t a compliment
