Having served the community through a variety of positions in banking, human services, human resources, and sales, I know firsthand the wonderful people and abundant opportunities we have here in the beautiful Black Hills. Following my passion in real estate, I enjoy providing exceptional customer service while assisting people with their real estate needs.
I am blessed to be able to build my business putting people and community first. Valuing my clients needs over my bottom line helps them get the home or investment they need while building and strengthening relationships. The greatest compliment I receive is a referral from a client or my wonderful community.
I appreciate the opportunity to earn your business putting my education and experience into helping you buy, sell, or build a new home or commercial property. Put my energy and persistence to work for you!

Stephanie Nesselhuf chose the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota to be her home in 2005. While her career at the time was that of a School Psychologist for Rapid City Area Schools, a love of real estate was born out of a part time job that Stephanie created for herself when she purchased a couple of houses to use as long- term rental properties. That led to the start of Shifting Spaces (her own house flipping business), a contractor license and her buying, remodeling and then selling over 50 uniquely designed homes from 2010 to 2022. She has taken great pride in seeing the happiness that her design vision has brought to those families that purchased her homes. All of this has given Stephanie an in- depth personal experience of the process involved in locating, buying and selling homes. As the only female general contractor and business owner in the Rapid City area, the story of her dedication and hard work was featured in the September/October2022 issue of Black Hills Woman Magazine. Since she earned her Real Estate license, she is excited to help more people find their dream homes.
This passion for real estate and her love of the Black Hills makes her a great fit to join the Kelly Howie team and help families find their forever homes or investment properties.

Born and raised in the Black Hills, Ashley has a passion for real estate and building relationships. Her early experience working in the family auto tint business taught her the value of customer service. And - as the middle child of three - she learned the value of family, and a good sense of humor. She took those lessons and her tireless work ethic to college, earning a degree in Business Management and Marketing in addition to a certificate in bookkeeping. Her background forged a foundation for a career in real estate; first as an Escrow Assistant at First American Title for 6 years and then as a Closing Specialist at Farm Credit Services of America for nearly 8 years.
Ashley has already established herself as a top agent in the Rapid City area real estate market. She was presented the Black Hills Association of Realtors Rising Star Award in 2022 and is currently serving as a member of the association Board of Directors, and multiple committees. Ashley has earned numerous designations/Certifications including ABR, C2EX, e-PRO, PSA, and SRS to further her ability to best serve her clients. She also spends time volunteering in our community with Meals on Wheels, Junior Achievement, and REALTORS® Are Good Neighbors to name a few. When not working or volunteering, you can find Ashley spending time with her family.
Ashley believes customer service is the cornerstone of the realtor/client relationship, which is why she offers each client a full-service experience from start to finish—and long after your transaction is complete. She is passionate about helping clients take the next step in their homeownership journey and it is easy to see why more than 100 clients have called her for help. As a buyer and seller agent, Ashley’s experience will guide you so you can take an informed approach as you look to make your next move.
