By 2002, Kay had built a reputation as someone who fills half-empty buildings. So she was a perfect fit for Koger Equity and its 49%-occupied Three Ravinia. Not only had she brought the occupancy up to 95% by 2007 (IHG with 358k SF and Eclipsys Corp with 103k SF), but in that same year of the crash, she closed 537k SF in office leases (valued at over $123M), earning her recognition from NAIOP as the top office producer in the city. Kay is also part of Atlanta's CRE power women group, whose friendships go back as much as 30 years (they have standing reservations at Bones for their quarterly get-togethers): Eastwood Real Estate Services' Lee Eastwood, SRS Real Estate Partners' Ray Uttenhove, Kay, Hartman Simons' Lori Kilberg, Taylor & Mathis' Ginger Martin, Raymond James' Lisa Boone (and seated) First American Title's Sally French Tyler, Annette Meyer Commercial Real Estate's Annette Meyer, Cassidy Turley's Lisa Dunavin, Equifax's Karen Dick, Avison Young's Char Fortune, and The Cheroff Group's Penelope Cheroff.
