Meet Keisha Taylor | Owner Broker

We had the good fortune of connecting with Keisha Taylor and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Keisha, let’s talk legacy – what do you want yours to be?
I would like my legacy to be that I made a difference in the lives of others by helping them accomplish stability in the life of their family.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
My business is Taylored Elite Estates we are a full service luxury real estate and property management company. What sets us apart from others is we are a boutique brokerage with locations in Georgia and Michigan! We “Taylor” the experience for our customers. I am proud of the excellent agents we have and the clients we have served thus far. The road to a real estate company didn’t start there I actually fought this calling for awhile. I was a social worker for years
and I also had a tax business. Real estate always interested me due to the stability and the assets it provides to families. When I purchased my first home I did all of the research on the homes prior to seeing. My agent said, “Keisha, what do you need me for?” My response was, “ I need you to open the door.” She told me I needed to think about a career in real estate then. That was during the market crash and I was sure the timing was wrong. I continues college at that time. 9 years later my friend Shawonna Ferguson, whom is an agent at Taylored Elite Estates, and I decided to finally take the class and pursue real estate part time on the side. Early 2020 I resigned from my job and pursued real estate full time. It wasn’t easy I was really scared to rely on strictly commission based income. There were high and low months. I remained myself, continued to improve via education and prayed. In 2021 I accomplished my brokers license and opened my Michigan office. I knew by my birthday 2022 I wanted to open an office in Georgia as it’s the only other place I’ve called home besides Michigan.
I learned so much along the way. People will try to talk you out of your dreams and tell you how hard it is but you’ll never know until you try. I believe in taking risks and testing the water.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my best friend were visiting Atlanta for a week we would definitely go to Kabobland I love the genuine vibes there. The food is so good! The salmon shawarma is top tier. I would also get Big Dave’s Cheesesteak probably one of the best cheesesteaks I’ve had anywhere. We would go to an Atlanta Hawks game they have one of the best DJs of professional basketball teams not to mention Trae Young! The carriage rides and Ferris wheel downtown are a must as well! Also, I would have to take them to the Martin Luther King memorial and house. The Trap Museum is a must!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to dedicate my shoutout first and foremost to my children. Being a teenage mom to my son Justin taught me that I had to work hard and be determined for the both of us. My daughter Aiyana taught me how to focus and be aware of what I do. My boyfriend Delano is my biggest cheerleader and always encourages me. My friend and business partner in flip properties and rentals Christopher Davis lets me take the creative lead and believes in my ideas. My parents are also very helpful. My mom helps with my children and my dad always has sound advice. My pastor, Tonya Bailey prays for and with me and believes in me sometimes more than I believe in myself.
