Sybrina Ely

I’m Sybrina Ely, founder and CEO of Kenbry Capital, a boutique commercial real estate finance brokerage built on trust, clarity, and long-term partnership.
My path here wasn’t traditional. Before I ever built a company, I built a home. I spent years as a stay-at-home mom, and that season shaped me more than any formal business training could have. It refined my patience, strengthened my intuition, and taught me how to stay steady when the stakes feel high. When I stepped into entrepreneurship, I didn’t enter to chase volume. I set out to build something principled. At Kenbry, we operate as a true team. We stay curious. We ask better questions. We’re precise with details, transparent with numbers, and honest about what works and what doesn’t. Because we enjoy the people we work with and we find fun in the process this energy makes the experience better for our clients. At the core, we nurture and foster relationships that feel safe and uplifting, so people can trust themselves, shine as they are, and step into possibilities with confidence. That belief shapes our culture, our partnerships, and the way we show up in every deal. My journey has been an evolution—from homemaker to founder, from observer to decision-maker—but the through line has always been the same: build something meaningful and lead in a way that feels true.
