Twenty-Year Real Estate Veteran Helps Fortify the Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Brand in West Virginia

The firm, now doing business as Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Kris & Co., has served residents of the Mountain State for over 35 years, most recently under the leadership of broker/owner Kris Lilly, who purchased the firm in 2019. Lilly has worked in West Virginia real estate since 2004, first as an agent, and now as both a producer and a leader.

In the past decade, she has held roles within the Fayette-Nicholas Board of REALTORS® and West Virginia Association of REALTORS (WVAR), which, combined with her numerous glowing client reviews, have further helped her create a network of real estate professionals that extends throughout the state and includes Josh McGrath, the most recent Past President of WVAR, and fellow Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate affiliated broker.

Under Lilly’s leadership, the firm has developed a significant foothold in Nicholas, Fayette, and Raleigh counties in particular. Here, Lilly and her affiliated agents are able to provide residents with specialized service in residential and commercial real estate, as well as land transactions.

Prior to discussing a possible affiliation with McGrath and the other members of the Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate brand, Lilly was already a fan of the BHGRE® branding and business philosophy. Much of her business is built upon relationship-building and providing clients with the tools they need to discover the perfect home that fits their lifestyle in Central West Virginia. After digging deeper into the resources available via the Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate brand, she realized that an affiliation fit perfectly within the plans and aspirations she already had for her business.

Most notably, the support of the network would provide Lilly with extra bandwidth to mentor new agents and offer more personalized assistance to existing ones.
