Our Business Manager, Kelly Nicholson, does a little bit of everything, from managing financial statements and project budgets to marketing and human resources. This diversity is part of what she loves most about the job, navigating the challenges of the ever-changing world of construction.
Kelly graduated from NC State with a BA in Accounting, and as a CPA, she worked in a number of different industries before joining Rufty Homes in 2011.
When she’s not working, you can find Kelly planning her next mission trip. She’s been on about 20 trips since 2011, both domestic and international, and is always looking forward to the next one. Kelly is married to her husband, Jamie, and they have two grown daughters, Bridget and Jesse, as well as three grandchildren.

Custom Homes From $1.8M*
A truly custom home is an investment in exceptional design, enduring craftsmanship, and the way your family wants to live. Rufty Homes brings those elements together with thoughtfully selected materials, exacting attention to detail, and a home designed entirely around you.
We believe the financial side of building should be just as thoughtfully managed. Our hyper-transparent approach to estimating and budgeting helps you understand your investment throughout the process, so you can make informed decisions with confidence.

*Custom home investment begins at $1.8 million, excluding land. Final investment varies based on homesite conditions, design, specifications, selections and project scope.
