Mr. Beardslee grew up in the real estate business with his father being a developer, and obtained his undergraduate degree at the Walter A. Haas School of Business at U.C.

After graduation in 1995, Kelly started his career at Cushman and Wakefield and spent 3 years in the San Francisco office working with a successful team focused on office leasing and sales.
In 1998, Mr. Beardslee joined Shorenstein as the Vice President of Client Services and Business Development. At Shorenstein, Kelly worked in partnership with the President and Vice Chairman to develop strategic plans for Shorenstein’s business units and to expand Shorenstein’s third-party leasing and management business.
