About Kelly
Kelly is a Brand Licensing and Real Estate expert with over 20 years of commercializing icons such as Under Armour, Coca-Cola, Muhammad Ali, Collegiate, Pro-Sports, Sotheby's, and Compass. She has directed new business strategies, collaborations, and brand positioning with the purpose of building and preserving elite brands. Her extensive trademark licensing, negotiating, merchandising and real estate experience includes expanding brands into new markets and commercializing within e-commerce, retail, social, and real estate channels.

Recruited by Compass corporate from another brokerage, Kelly became a charter and founding agent of Compass Baltimore. Kelly's real estate work has been featured in the New York Times "What You Get" article for 3 separate listings she prepped and staged for market. Kelly was voted by her peers to serve on the Compass DC, Maryland, and Virginia Agent Advisory Council, and featured in Baltimore Magazine's Top Agent publication. She is a proud member of Moms of Compass and maintains a strong national network with agents across the country.

For unique or hard-to-price properties Kelly goes beyond standard comps working directly with a PhD economist to conduct large-scale data reviews and estimate spatial regressions in a general equilibrium framework to inform pricing. This level of analysis is rare in real estate, and it gives clients a clear advantage when navigating complex or high-value deals.  

Areas of specialty include seller representation, listing and marketing your home, staging, contractor renovations, luxury properties, buyer representation, historic architecture, guidelines and tax credits, first time homebuyers, investment advising, and waterfront properties. Her focus is all neighborhoods within Baltimore City, Baltimore County, surrounding counties, such as Howard and Anne Arundel, and Coastal Southern Maryland.

Hailing from a family of interior decorators and six Navy pilots, Kelly learned the importance of creativity alongside a meticulous mindset. These two balanced principles guided Kelly as she built a career in branding and negotiations. Kelly moved to Baltimore from Atlanta in 2008 where she worked at the Coca-Cola Global HQ in trademark licensing. 

Once in Baltimore she worked at an ad agency before being recruited to work at the Under Armour HQ in Locust Point. She represented Under Armour and negotiated contracts on the brand's behalf with Lucas Films, Marvel, DC Comics Muhammad Ali, as well as oversaw many Collegiate sports merchandising deals, green grass golf, youth, hydration, and accessories categories. Kelly worked at UA HQ for 7.5 years before switching to real estate full time in March 2018.

Kelly and her husband, Darrell, reside in an over-125-year-old Victorian brownstone in historic Bolton Hill with their son, Wolfe, and daughter, Greta. In Maryland, they've previously resided in Annapolis, Fells Point, and Canton. In addition to her passion for interiors, she enjoys swimming, running, and time on Maryland's coastline. Originally from the Florida panhandle's Gulf Coast, Kelly has enjoyed transitioning to the Chesapeake Bay. Although she yearns for fresh Gulf shrimp, she is happy to eat Maryland crab.

Compass Expands to Baltimore

Baltimore Business Journal - March 2022

Kelly Knock was recruited from another brokerage to join Compass Baltimore as a Charter Agent in their early expansion days, prior to their first brick and mortar office completion. As Compass closed the gap on the Eastern Seaboard and coast to coast, they identified Baltimore for growth. An uptick of coastal transplants have come to Baltimore for the relative cost of living to other coastal cities and proximity to major metropolitan areas. In addition to D.C. residents making the leap, many international inhabitants are attracted to Baltimore for its access to waterfront and premier medical, financial, and higher education sectors.

"Working with Kelly to find the perfect home (and move cross-country!) was the most enjoyable, professional, stress-free experience!
We moved from California to Maryland, so a lot of our communication was long-distance. Kelly was a total pro. Her timing for communication and responsiveness was incredible. She showed us the area, and it was crystal clear that she paid close attention to the things we said were important to us. She provided a realistic checklist, which made the door-to-door move so wonderfully smooth. Zero surprises. Zero pressure at any point in the process to do anything that didn't feel just right to us. If you need a realtor, call Kelly Knock immediately if not sooner. Why are you still reading this? Call her right now!"

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"My wife & I came from New York looking to buy a house in Baltimore to be close to our first grandchild. We felt intimidated because of our lack of knowledge of communities, neighborhoods, restaurants...etc. After being recommended to Kelly Knock we immediately felt a sense of relief. She was so helpful and went out of her way to address all of our concerns. She made the entire process easy and found us the house of our dreams. I would highly recommend her."

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"I could not recommend Kelly more highly. Her knowledge and experience were second to none when we were looking to buy our first home. She was a gentle guiding hand and was patient with our lack of knowledge and many, many questions. Her knowledge of the Baltimore and surrounding area real estate market undoubtedly helped us to secure the home of our dreams in a fast-paced market! If we ever move, we will be using her services again without question."

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Kelly helped my family engineer a house sale before moving abroad. We had a quick timeline and were navigating a rapidly shifting market. Beyond being eminently skillful with a flair for staging and a keen sense of the market, Kelly was a serene presence that made the whole process much less stressful than it had any right to be. She’s kind, was great with our kid, anticipated our needs, and was always available and responsive. We cannot recommend her highly enough and in fact, we miss her!"

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Kelly helped us find our home, a multi-family, when we where moving into Baltimore from the eastern shore. Given the ~1.5 hour distance for us she really acted as a stand in, guide and advisor through the entire process. She is extremely knowledgeable of baltimore neighborhoods and the market, the vibe, and make up of the different areas of the city. She got to know us so well that when THE house appeared on the market we where able to submit an extremely early offer that won us the house. Kelly took our niche requirements of a historic, fixer upper that we could house hack with access to green space and translated it to a 3 unit park front victorian in a very competitive market. Could not have asked for more from the experience!"

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"We had a fantastic experience working with Kelly as sellers of our Baltimore home. She kept us highly informed throughout the process and offered insightful advice early on which helped us make the most of our sale. Her staging choices were beautiful and really made the best features of our home stand out and shine! Throughout the process she was flexible and accommodating, helping us both navigate a few decisions and coming up with solutions. We ended up with multiple offers and a very smooth closing process. Kelly is friendly, professional, and has a great eye - we can't recommend her enough!

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"My husband and I were looking to buy our first home and a friend referred us to Kelly. Right away, Kelly was responsive, warm, and helpful. Every step of the way, she explained things very clearly, and was always responsive to our questions. When we decided to make an offer, she was a wonderful advisor and advocate. She helped get us into our new home which we absolutely love! Kelly is a fantastic realtor who goes above and beyond for her clients. We ​would absolutely recommend her to other first-time homebuyers!
