Alumni Making a Difference in the Raleigh-Area: Meet the Edwards Brothers
Who are they?
Kelly Edwards (MBA ’02) and twin brother Chris Edwards (MBA ’02) are the co-owners of Edwards Insurance and Financial Strategies, a Raleigh-based insurance and financial services firm with five locations in the Triangle. Both are ECU graduates and are making a name for themselves in Raleigh.

What do they do?
The brothers also own and operate The Edwards Companies – Investment Real Estate Group, a Raleigh-based full service investment real estate firm. The brothers were recently featured on WRAL-TV, as well as the Triangle Business Journal for their work on homes in southeast Raleigh. They buy homes that need repairs and after they have completed the necessary repairs, they rent the homes out as an investment. “More folks come down to downtown Raleigh with Citrix, Red Hat, more jobs downtown, nicer restaurants … people want to live down here,” said Kelly Edwards.
