Kelly & Laura are sisters and business partners. We have been working together since 1996. 1996 – 1999 we opened our own paint your own pottery studios, “Come Out & Clay” in Norwalk, CT and Mamaroneck, NY. They were two of the top producing pottery studios in their day according to our suppliers. We sold those and moved back to ever-sunny Redondo Beach, California – where we both had lived since high school days (we are both “Spartans” South High graduates.) Prior to that we grew up as young children on the “main-line” of Philadelphia.
Laura attended UCSB and earned a degree in Business Economics and Kelly attended San Diego State earning a Speech Communication degree and then Design Institute of San Diego earning an Interior Design Degree.
Laura is married and has 2 boys – (11) and (5). Kelly is also married and has 2 girls (7) and (4). We both live, work and play in the Hollywood Riviera. Our kids attend the local schools and pre-schools. We love it here! We both feel so lucky to wake up here everyday. It really is a wonderful community!
We both started our real estate career in 2000 – we first worked as Coldwell Banker agents in the Malaga Cove office, which is in Palos Verdes Estates. We were named “Rookies of the Year” our first year in business. Being Realtors really suits us both and we work well with each other. We both have different strengths and offer each other lots of moral support – which is important to our clients as well. Everyone needs moral support when they are working through a real estate transaction – whether as a buyer or seller! In 2003, we moved to Re/Max Palos Verdes Realty and we have really enjoyed our fruitful years there. We were honored to be in the Platinum Club each year there and even more honored to join the elite Chairman’s Circle for year 2007 & Hall of Fame in 2008. We are both very hardworking, but really enjoy what we do and I think it shows. We laugh a lot and most people find that very contagious…another good thing when working through a real estate transaction – a good sense of humor!!
For buyers, we search until we find the perfect property then we help negotiate the best possible deal. We like to make sure you understand the comparables before making any offers on property. Nothing satisfies us more than seeing the smiles that come with a successful sale or the purchase of a lifetime.
For sellers, we promote your home to the widest possible audience to attain the highest possible price for your home. Laura and Kelly are Accredited Staging® Professionals. We€™ve found that the way you live in your home and the way we sell your house are two different things. Your Staged house will have an edge in the market, making it sell faster and for Top Dollar! Your home does not go on the market until all phases of the marketing plan are complete – including a comprehensive online marketing presence - buyers are going to see your home in its best light the minute it hits the market – there is a huge correlation between those first 3 weeks on the market and achieving the highest price. Everything must be ready to go that first day! Our main goal is to make you so happy you worked with us you will refer us to all of your friends and family!
