About Laura
Not Just Your Realtor —
Your Clairemont Neighbor
Laura Kelley isn't just an agent who sells homes in Clairemont — she lives here. She walks the same streets, shops at the same stores, and knows which blocks get the best ocean breezes. When you work with Laura, you're working with someone who has genuine skin in the game.
Laura got her license in 2006 — right before the market collapsed. While other agents quit, she stayed. She guided families through short sales, foreclosures, and one of the toughest real estate markets in modern history. That resilience shaped everything about how she works today: thorough, proactive, and fiercely protective of her clients' interests.
Today, Laura is recognized among the top 1% of Keller Williams agents nationally, a 2024 SDAR Circle of Excellence Silver Award recipient, and one of San Diego Magazine's Five Star Agents. She holds certifications most agents never pursue — SRES for seniors, ABR for buyers, ALHS for luxury, and SFR for complex transactions.

What Clients Say About Laura
★★★★★
Laura did everything but hold my hand as we walked through the process of purchasing a home in the crazy summer season in San Diego. She worked tirelessly, writing offers so quickly we had to race back to review them. We were first-time home buyers and she helped us close within 20 days. Amazing.
Relocated to San Diego, Summer 2022
★★★★★
I've had the pleasure of working with Laura on numerous transactions over the years. She's incredibly knowledgeable about the local market and possesses a remarkable ability to match clients with properties that truly fit their lifestyles. She anticipates potential roadblocks and proactively finds solutions. She's a true advocate.
Seasoned Loan Officer, Multiple Transactions
★★★★★
Laura assisted us in purchasing our first condo using a VA loan. Her expertise was invaluable, giving us the confidence to return a few years later to sell the condo and upgrade to a single-family home. She navigated the complexities of our HOA and addressed every question. On a personal level, Laura is compassionate and genuinely invested in her clients' well-being.
