356 New Byhalia Rd Ste 2,Dawn Welch Kinard is a distinguished real estate professional with nearly four decades of experience marked by integrity, strategic insight, and unwavering commitment to excellence. As Owner and Principal Broker of Welch Realty, she brings comprehensive expertise across residential and commercial sales, construction, land development, property management, leasing, and land banking. Her deep understanding of market dynamics—shaped by extensive engagement in both public and private sectors—enables her to deliver tailored, results-driven solutions for clients navigating complex real estate challenges.
Dawn is certified by the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) to perform Right of Way services, underscoring her specialized proficiency in acquisition, negotiation, and regulatory compliance for transportation and infrastructure-related projects. This credential complements her broader capabilities in land use and development, offering clients a rare blend of transactional acumen and public-sector fluency.
Her dedication to community advancement extends well beyond brokerage. Through active leadership on numerous civic boards and committees, Dawn has championed initiatives focused on blight remediation, affordable housing, and sustainable urban revitalization—guided by the conviction that real estate should serve as a catalyst for resilient, equitable communities. As former Administrator of the Shelby County Land Bank, she implemented transformative operational reforms that increased property sales by over 500%, enhanced transparency, and accelerated redevelopment timelines—demonstrating her ability to drive measurable impact through collaboration and innovation.
Welch Realty was founded in 1948 by Dawn’s grandfather and later stewarded by her father, who upheld its legacy as a trusted brokerage. Today, as the third-generation leader of the firm, Dawn honors this heritage while advancing its mission with forward-looking vision, principled service, and a steadfast focus on long-term value creation—for clients, communities, and the region alike.
“Stephanie was a Godsend! She was knowledgeable, patient, understanding, and everything that a buyer would want in a real estate agent. This was my first time purchasing a home, and I honestly don’t believe I could’ve had a better-suited agent. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Dawn's can-do attitude was just what my 85-year-old mom needed when she was selling her home and moving to another city for the first time in her life. She was there to answer every question, worked diligently (and successfully) when our closing date was adjusted, and had great connections in the community for finding professionals for repairs and cleaning. She's been in this business a long time, and it shows. Thankful for her guidance, negotiation skills, and kindness during such a major life change.”
“Working with Dawn has been a pleasure from beginning to end. Dawn is always prompt to respond to emails, text messages, and phone calls. She is very knowledgeable of the market and understood my needs, always giving good advice, and throughout the time from the offer to the closing was always on top of every detail. I will definitely work with her again.”
