Meet Chelsea Keener

Focusing on your unique requests and delivering results with clarity, care, and a fresh approach.

Chelsea Keener is a top-producing Realtor® and trusted local expert who brings a personalized, professional touch to every transaction. A native Floridian who fell in love with the small-town charm of Amelia Island, Chelsea became a Realtor® in 2018 with one goal in mind: to help others navigate real estate with confidence and ease. Since then, she has closed over $73 million in sales, been honored as Nassau County’s Realtor® of the Year (2021), and currently serves as President of the Amelia Island Nassau County Association of Realtors®. Her consistent track record, paired with a relationship-first mindset, has made her a go-to resource for buyers, sellers, and investors across the region.

Before real estate, Chelsea spent nearly a decade in hotel convention sales — experience that sharpened her negotiation skills and strengthened her commitment to service. She’s known for being responsive, reliable, and results-driven, with an ability to creatively solve problems and advocate for her customers at every turn. Whether prepping a home for sale, navigating inspections, or negotiating on your behalf, Chelsea draws on market data, a strong professional network, and years of local insight to guide you with strategy and care.

What sets Chelsea apart is her people-first philosophy. You’ll never feel like just another transaction. Chelsea takes the time to understand your priorities, communicate clearly, and provide honest feedback so you always feel supported. She’s collaborative by nature and backed by a strong in-house team — including full-time administrative staff, dedicated marketing professionals, and a seasoned broker — allowing her to focus fully on her customers. With custom marketing plans, ongoing market analysis, and standout listing exposure, Chelsea ensures each property gets the attention it deserves.

Whether you're buying your dream home, selling a long-time residence, or exploring investment opportunities, Chelsea brings warmth, professionalism, and a steady hand to the process. Her mission is simple: to offer a white-glove experience and deliver results that exceed expectations — because to her, luxury is not a price point, it's the level of care you receive.

A Local Who Loves What She Does

Chelsea and her husband Darren moved to Amelia Island to pursue their dream of raising a family by the sea — a dream they now share with their two children and their sassy mini dachshund, Georgia. Outside of real estate, you’ll find her cheering on the Florida State Seminoles and Kansas City Chiefs, exploring historic Fernandina Beach, volunteering in the community, or playing caddy for Darren during weekend golf rounds. Fun fact: Chelsea has even been featured on HGTV — twice!

Real estate is personal, and Chelsea treats it that way. From first meeting to final closing, she brings heart, hustle, and a deep-rooted love for her community. If you're ready to take the next step in your real estate journey, Chelsea would be honored to help you get there.

"Working with Chelsea was a first class experience. Chelsea has exceptional market knowledge and a personalized approach to marketing and showing properties. She has by far the best communication, problem-solving and negotiation skills of any realtor we have worked with in the past. Aside from being professional and reliable her genuine care and support throughout the entire process gave us peace of mind and made for a great experience selling our home. Truly a go getter that takes the initiative to not only fight for her customers but to ensure that both parties are happy in the transaction. We can not thank Chelsea enough for her services and can not put into words how highly we recommend her services to people looking for an agent."

"Chelsea made our first home-buying experience truly exceptional. From start to finish, her responsiveness, professionalism, and dedication exceeded our expectations. As out-of-state buyers with a single day to view properties, we faced a significant challenge, but Chelsea handled it seamlessly. She even took time out of her Sunday to guide us through a carefully curated list of homes that perfectly matched our needs. Thanks to her local expertise and well-planned approach, we found our dream home in just one day of showings. As a young couple and first-time buyers, we were admittedly unfamiliar with the complexities of the home-buying process. Chelsea went above and beyond to ensure we were educated and comfortable at every step. She provided clear, thoughtful explanations and offered honest advice, which made us feel supported rather than overwhelmed. At no point did we feel pressured or taken advantage of; instead, Chelsea’s genuine care and guidance helped us make confident decisions. Despite our budget being on the lower end of the price range for her market, Chelsea treated us with the same kindness, motivation, and attention as if we were purchasing a high-value property. Whether you're buying or selling, Chelsea is the realtor you want by your side. We couldn’t recommend her enough!"

"Our experience working with Chelsea was exceptional. Midway through our search on the island we decided to alter the search and add a pool as a requirement. She was able to pivot and provide alternate homes to investigate immediately. Throughout the process she listened to our needs and was available at moment’s notice to show homes we might be interested in. She is an excellent listener and subject matter expert who appreciated our criteria while still providing knowledge of the island that made the search more focused and productive. We would forward homes to consider and she would share her thoughts on whether or not it would be a good fit. Considering we live in another state this saved us time when it came to traveling to see homes in person. The home we finally purchased she Facetimed with us and recommended that we come down immediately (which we did). We placed an offer within 48 hours. We enjoyed our relationship with Chelsea so much this is in fact is the second time we purchase on the island with her assistance!"

"Chelsea was a godsend for us helping us buy on Amelia Island from all the way across the country. She found us the perfect home that met our dream criteria better than we ever expected in just one house-hunting trip. Then she connected us with the right people to get things done fast and handled all the seller contacts to close our buy (apparently) effortlessly for us. Her southern warmth went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed and could accomplish it all before closing. Thank you, Chelsea!"

"Chelsea was great to work with while helping us find the right vacation condo!! She navigated the process from start to finish and was always just a phone call or text away if there were any questions. She was able to connect us to the right local resources for everything we needed. She was always one step ahead and kept the closing process as smooth as I've ever experienced. Definitely a 5-star agent!!"

"This is our third time working with Chelsea. She helped us buy our condo in Fernandina, 4 years later buy our forever home and then sell the STR condo. All aspects of all three transactions were phenomenal. Her knowledge of our needs, the market and working with the buyers and sellers was spot on. We buy and sell STR properties predominantly in GA and are thrilled to have Chelsea as our "FL Expert" on all things Fernandina!"
