About Kelly Fore Dixon

Kelly began her career as a successful landscape designer and general contractor, overseeing million-dollar renovations and managing high-end estate maintenance accounts. Her client roster included some of the world’s most discerning homeowners.

That experience led her to estate management, where she ran operations for luxury properties and a regenerative ranch spanning Los Angeles to London. Kelly managed teams of up to 14 full-time staff and coordinated over 80 subcontractors.

Having served ultra-high-net-worth families with complex needs and minimal support, she founded EMS to provide the systems, training, and strategic guidance she wished she had when she was in the role.

How EMS Started

After hitting a breaking point with scattered notes, endless texts, and incomplete checklists, Kelly knew there had to be a better way to manage estate operations. Tracking projects, capturing principal requests, and coordinating with staff required more than a Google Calendar and an Excel spreadsheet.

She quickly realized she wasn’t alone—many others in private service faced the same daily challenges.

Motivated by her own experience and a desire to support others in the field, Kelly founded EMS and launched the Dear Billionaire podcast.

Her mission: to provide practical tools and proven strategies that help estate professionals streamline operations and deliver exceptional service—while empowering homeowners to clearly express their preferences, so both sides of the relationship can thrive.

With a passion for luxurious living, an eye for detail, and a talent for managing complex projects, EMS is a natural extension of what Kelly does best: bringing order, elegance, and efficiency to the world’s most exceptional homes.
