About
Hi, My name is Kelli Benson
As a native Californian, and now a seasoned Chicagoan, I was always drawn to Chicago's vibrant culture, architecture and the wonderful four seasons. My decades of entrepreneurial experience and an impeccable eye for detail led me to real estate investing and a longstanding career in fashion. Building a successful clothing line for 12 years and venturing into a subscription based, B2B data platform for emerging for fashion designers. After growing the platform over ten years my company was sold in 2019.

We'd love to hear from you, assist with any questions and schedule a free consultation.
Testimonials
Kelli's attention to detail and trustworthiness give my husband and I the utmost confidence and ease when leaving our home for the entire Winter season. We are very grateful we discovered Kelli & Snowbirds Home Touch.

Kelli was recommended to us by a friend who lives in the city. Kelli was incredibly thorough and sent a video every week she visited our home while we vacationed for six weeks. I highly recommend Kelli. She is friendly and very detailed oriented.
