CA DRE# 01932146

Kelly Perkins has built her reputation as one of the most dedicated and trusted real estate advisors along California’s Golden Coast. Her success is rooted not only in her extensive experience and market expertise, but also in the remarkable life journey that shapes every client relationship.

With a real estate career spanning decades, Kelly began in the mid-1980s as a certified appraiser before transitioning into residential sales. This unique foundation gives her a deeper understanding of property valuation, market trends, and long-term investment potential, allowing her to guide clients with confidence and clarity.

Kelly’s personal story is equally inspiring. As a heart transplant recipient who went on to summit some of the world’s most iconic mountains, she embodies resilience, gratitude, and determination. Those qualities continue to influence her approach to real estate, where commitment, perseverance, and genuine care are at the center of every client experience.

Her brand reflects a simple philosophy:

My passion. Your experience.

Kelly believes that real estate is never just about a property. It is about helping people find a home, a lifestyle, and an investment that aligns with their goals and values. She understands that every client defines value differently.

Everyone sees value in a home differently. I help clients recognize the value that matters most to them.

Known for her warm personality, strategic mindset, and honest communication, Kelly provides personalized guidance tailored to each client's unique needs. Whether representing a luxury oceanfront estate, a charming beach cottage, or an investment property, she combines local expertise with thoughtful advice to help clients make informed decisions.

Deeply connected to Laguna Beach and the surrounding coastal communities, Kelly has cultivated a trusted network of professionals across finance, construction, design, and local government. These relationships allow her to provide clients with valuable resources, exclusive opportunities, and a seamless experience from start to finish.

For buyers seeking access to unique properties, Kelly is also known for connecting clients with opportunities that may never reach the public market.

Call me for off-market opportunities.

Whether she is designing a customized marketing strategy for a seller, advising an investor, or helping a family find their next home, Kelly is committed to delivering exceptional service and meaningful results. A passionate traveler who draws inspiration from cultures around the world, she is proud to call Laguna Beach home and considers it a privilege to help others do the same.
