When it comes to real estate, finding an agent who not only understands the market but also prioritizes your needs can make all the difference. Meet Keith Kelley, a dedicated REALTOR®, whose commitment to excellence and client-focused approach has established his impeccable reputation, one satisfied client at a time.  

 

“We focus on the client and not the sale,” explains Keith.

 

He teamed up with his current partners Bill Davis and Tony Puma over 3 years ago. Together, they re-opened Palos Verdes Realty under the brokerage Palm Realty Boutique. Their team also includes a Transaction Coordinator, Kathy Jacques, who makes sure everything runs smoothly.

 

As full-service, full-time agents, Keith and his partners are there for their clients before, during and after the sale of the property. They provide help and service even if a sale is not part of the discussion. “We strive to create lifetime relationships with all of our clients and to have a positive influence in the community through charities, community involvement and more,” says Keith.

 

“We sell and lease: homes, townhomes, condos, multifamily, commercial and industrial properties all over Southern California. More than just selling, we value building long-term relationships with our clients, helping every step of the way in any way we can,” he adds.

 

What sets Keith and his team apart from other real estate professionals is their ability and desire to listen to their clients and to work hard to exceed expectations. By studying the market, Keith and his team make sure advice is given based on experience, expertise, and staying in tune with the current market, while always putting their clients’ best interests first.

 

“We are not afraid to tell clients what they need to hear instead of what they want to hear,” he comments.  Unlike agents who rely on scripted pitches and manipulative tactics, Keith prioritizes transparency and integrity in his interactions with clients. He is a consultant to his clients, recognizing that a home is most people’s most valuable asset and always prioritizes his clients’ needs. It’s not about transactions, but people, to Keith.

 

This trusted real estate professional loves working in the South Bay because of the weather and the different types of properties all within 20 minutes of each other – from beach houses to ranches in gated cities to bluff top properties, the options are endless.

 

Since Keith began his career in real estate, he has enjoyed specializing in Rolling Hills.  Keith recognizes “what a special place Rolling Hills is, offering residents an unparalleled quality of life with security, space, privacy and incredible views. Rolling Hills is one of the few locations that can offer ocean, Catalina, pastoral and city light views, equestrian facilities, sunshine and in some cases, new amazing sprawling construction,” says Keith.

 

 

Prior to working in real estate, Keith gained invaluable experience in the mortgage industry. Then, during the recession in 2008, he was offered an opportunity to partner with a seasoned agent, which is where he started his real estate career. With over sixteen years in real estate since his transition from lending, Keith has the experience and expertise that his clients desire.

 

Born and raised in Walnut, Keith loves Southern California and everything it has to offer. He is married to his wife, Kelly Kelley, and they are blessed with two children, Evan (12) and Olivia (9).

 

When not working, it’s all about family to Keith. He explains, “I enjoy being involved in all of my kids’ sports, including soccer, water polo and baseball.” He also loves traveling and enjoying life  with friends.

 

You can find Keith and his family soaking in the sun on sandy beaches as well as skiing and snowboarding. “Some of our favorite family trips are houseboating and taking our wakeboard boat to the river and lakes,” says Keith. “I also enjoy horseback riding with Los Caballeros, especially our Catalina ride.”

 

 

Real estate doesn’t have to be a hassle. With Keith and his team at Palos Verdes Realty, you can expect a stress-free process. “Your best interest is always our focus,” says Keith. “We are not high-pressure agents who will convince you of anything. We will present the facts and information and allow you to make the decision and choose when that happens.”

 

What makes Keith unique is that he will always make the process as seamless as possible. By being involved with preparing the house for sale, showings, negotiations, inspections, closings and beyond, the process is streamlined and simplified for clients.

 

Keith’s dedication, integrity, and passion for serving others set him apart in the competitive world of real estate. For anyone seeking a REALTOR® who goes above and beyond, Keith Kelley is undoubtedly the name to trust.
