Keller Williams Realty

Our mission is to help our Clients achieve their financial and lifestyle goals through real estate and to provide a real estate experience worth referring! I'm passionate (is obsessed too strong a word?) about real estate and about getting my clients what they want! It's that focus that has earned my clients repeat business and their referrals to friends, family, and colleagues (thank you!). The Kelly McLaren Real Estate Group has proudly earned our place in the Top 1.5% of Agents/Teams in the U.S. as published in the Wall Street Journal by RealTrends - the real estate industry's independent ranking organization. It really does matter who you hire. You can expect a level of service that recognizes your unique situation, needs, and objectives. I specialize in educating and making sure my clients know what to expect in advance (if it's possible to over-communicate throughout the process, I may be guilty of that). I'm going to make the buying and selling journey as smooth as possible for you and your family. And I'm pretty confident we'll enjoy the journey together! After leaving the Canadian Army (that was a while ago!), I joined Fortune 50 United Technologies Corporation and the world of jet engine manufacturing. That launched a successful and global +25-year career in aerospace, where I eventually led large organizations in the US, Canada, Hong Kong, and Latin America. It was aviation that brought our family from Montreal, Canada to Southern California – leaving the snow and freezing winters behind to live our amazing SoCal lifestyle has been a long-time goal truly fulfilled. The teams I led – marketing, purchasing, contracting, business development, and IT – provided me with the deep business and people skills that serve my clients today. What’s different? My former clients were airline operators, government, and military groups around the world. I very often used to fly to get to work. I no longer spend time optimizing aircraft fleet maintenance programs and supply chains for fun. What’s the same? Creativity. Negotiations. Crafting the right deal for the people involved. Foreseeing issues, and where they can’t be avoided, finding solutions quickly. An intense focus on understanding what the client wants and needs. An intense work ethic. Delivering results that matter. Buying, selling, or investing in real estate – this may be the largest financial and lifestyle decision you will make. I have an amazing team and we are fully committed – and honored – to be with you every step of the way as we help you achieve your goals through real estate! In my spare time, I love spending time with my husband of now +39 years anywhere on or near water, and with our daughter on our mother/daughter adventures!
