GRASSROOTS REALTY GROUP
Manson Kelly
Realtor
Manson has been invested in the Real Estate industry in Lethbridge and District for over 15 years! Starting out in 2008 – arguably one of the toughest years to enter the real estate industry – Manson began the uphill battle of cementing himself as one of Southern Alberta’s TOP Realtors.
Born and raised between Lethbridge and Coaldale, Manson has developed an extensive knowledge base of real estate and love for community. He is known for his uncanny ability to foster amazing relationships, giving back to community and his willingness to put his clients first.
In the last 15 years, Manson has grown from an independent agent to being the team lead of 6 full time Realtors and 2 admin staff. He’s sat on the Lethbridge and District Association of Realtors for 3 terms, he has won every single Sales Awards possible at Royal LePage, including those at Provincial and National levels, he’s won a Provincial Team of the Year Award for Outstanding Contributions to supporting women and children escaping domestic violence from Royal LePage Shelter Foundation and the list goes ON! He’s done this ALL while being a husband, becoming a father to two amazing and busy daughters, coached several hockey teams and so much more.
He’s been the Chair of the Royal Gala – a fundraiser for YWCA Harbour House hosted by Royal LePage South Country and Royal LePage Shelter Foundation – for the last 8 years. This event, retired after its 25th year, has raised over $1,180,000 for our local women’s shelter.
Ally Keith
Realtor
Ally is the heart and soul of the Southern Alberta Homes Team and without her we simply could not function.
Ally joined Manson in May of 2014. With a marketing background, Ally initially took on an administrative role. She achieved her residential and commercial real estate licenses in January of 2018 and has been actively selling real estate since.
Born and raised in Lethbridge, Ally is as familiar as it gets with her home community. She spends her free time doing anything outdoors – golfing, snowboarding, playing soccer, hiking, you name it! She is eternally grateful for her wonderfully supportive partner Mark, they often can be found at local events throughout the year!
She’s been an instrumental member and co-Chair of the Royal Gala committee – a fundraiser for YWCA Harbour House for the last 8 years. This event, in the past 25 years, has raised over $1,180,000.00 for our local women’s shelter. She also volunteers with the Victim/Witness Services Unit at Lethbridge Police Service and is on the Board of Directors at YWCA Lethbridge & District. Ally is a big believer in supporting her community and especially women and children escaping domestic violence.
Justin "JL" Lariviere
Realtor
Justin, better known as JL, has been in the real estate industry in Lethbridge since 2012. Originally from Calgary, JL moved to Lethbridge in 2007 to attend the University of Lethbridge and play for the mens soccer program. After completing university, he loved Lethbridge so much he decided to stay and pursue his passion of real estate. JL is an avid soccer player and coach, formerly the Assistant Coach of the Men’s and Women’s programs at Lethbridge College. He brings a wealth of knowledge, humor and experience to our team.
When he’s not working his magic with real estate, he’s spending time with his family – newly engaged to his wonderful Fiance Louise and loving on their 4 kids!
