Kellen Flanigan, Broker-Salesperson

Nevada . 775-345-5950 . California . 310-710-4016

CRS, CN, GRI, SRES, CLHMS, ILHMM . License #: NV-145221/BRE-01485210

My family moved to Reno in the early 70’s and we built our home in Southwest Reno where my mother still resides. I attended school here in Reno until high school. I then attended Santa Catalina School for girls in Monterey and graduated in 1983. Having spent summers interning in Washington, D.C, I ended up getting my undergraduate degree in International Relations at USC in 1987. I worked my senior year for Drexel Burnham Lambert in Beverly Hills and was recruited to their 2-year training program after graduation, which took place in NYC. The program included extensive graduate work at the NY Institute of Finance. After Drexel imploded, I started a Broker/Dealer firm in the 90’s and grew it to 35 employees with offices in NY and LA. I served on the board of the NASD, National Association of Securities Dealers, for three years in our district of Los Angeles. Our clients were high net worth individuals and small institutions. Among a myriad of financial transactions, I raised capital for real estate development transactions and a substantial size REIT. I fell in love with the real estate side of the business and sold my investment firm in 2000 to pursue a career in real estate.

My first year in the business, I worked with Joyce Rey, who has been one of the top 10 International agents for Coldwell Banker for 30 years. Learning from her, coupled with my financial background, allows me to serve my clients and negotiate on their behalf regarding their real estate transactions.
Since December of ’06 I have been a Broker/real estate agent in the Luxury Homes Division with Keller Williams Realty in Santa Monica, CA. I was with Coldwell Banker in Santa Monica for two years prior to that. I served on the ALC, the Agent Leadership Council for 6 years. Which comprises the top 20% of the firm and a nomination for this position. I was head of the finance committee for our franchise, making sure we lead with revenue, and profit hits are our bottom line. I leaned heavily on my background in finance. I enjoy marketing high-quality homes and matching them with the appropriate qualified homebuyers. I have been in the top 50 producers circle of Keller Williams nationally since 2007.

Personally, I am married to Rob Stinnett, also from Reno, NV, who is a Nevada/California General Contractor. I am a parent of two children, Nicholas and Madison, ages 25 & 26 respectively. Together Rob and I invest, build, remodel and sell our finished high-end residential products. We love what we do! We are also avid road cyclists, skiers and volunteer for many animal awareness programs.

Why Clients Love Kellen

Kellen is the ultimate professional…

Kellen is the ultimate professional.  She is exceptionally efficient, attentive to detail and service oriented as a real estate professional.  Our home was previously listed with another agent for more than nine months with no results.  Kellen was methodical, extremely conscientious and organized in her approach to marketing – we had open houses every week, she created stunning marketing materials and strategically deployed them.  Her team inspected our home frequently, attending to numerous voluminous details to make our home stand out at all times, going way beyond the scope of an agent to ensure perfection every step of the way.  Kellen’s experience in the financial markets and her understanding of various financing models are rare qualities that the average does not possess.  But then again, Kellen is not your average agent.  She is outstanding and in our opinion, clearly the best in her field, and she exceeded our expectations.

When we started receiving offers, Kellen was always our aggressive fighting advocate.  She was always suggesting ideas beneficial to us and always had our best interest in mind.  She was constantly on top of our listing.  We knew Kellen had other clients, but Kellen’s stellar service orientation made us feel like we were her only client.  All the time.

Kellen is the model of excellence.  We will always use her for our real estate needs.

Her depth of knowledge…

Kellen Flanigan was my real estate agent during the sale of my home this year in Brentwood. Her depth and knowledge when it came to the Los Angeles area were truly remarkable. She went above and beyond the call of duty by not only dealing perfectly with both parties but also doing it during a credit crunch that could have derailed the sale.

Without Kellen I doubt that this sale would have happened and I’m certain that my wife and I would not have been nearly as happy as we are today. I cannot thank her enough for her attention to detail and her tenacity in making sure that everything went smoothly for us. Kellen was a true pleasure to work with.

Back in 2006…

Back in 2006, I came in contact with Kellen when she had a listing in the condo complex that I was living in. I was also thinking of buying, and knowing that Kellen was hosting a open house next door, I use to go there and ask a lot of questions. Kellen was always helpful and took time to give me free advice. We got to know each other well, and when I decided to buy, my first condo in Santa Monica back in 2006 I called Kellen. She helped me find a great condo a block from the ocean. She helped me get the place when there were over 10 other offers. I was overjoyed.

Since buying that first condo, Kellen has been close to me. She helped me get through some very difficult times back in 2008/09 when I was going through personal crisis. During that time, Kellen offered to sell my condo without commission, just to help me out. What RE agent will offer their services with no commission?… no one. I will never forget that moment.  That showed me how amazing a person Kellen is, and how big a heart she has. That showed me that Kellen is not just a great RE Agent, but she is a great person who genuinely care for people.

Fast-forward to 2015. I decided to sell the condo, and I knew that there was no one else that I would even consider. I went straight to Kellen. She looked at my place, gave me some ideas about some simple renovations. I followed through on her advice. Once the place was listed, it was sold very quickly at over asking price.

10 years, 2 Real Estate deals, through highs & lows of life… no matter where I was, I knew Kellen was always available to give me advice and help me every way possible. I met Kellen as a RE agent, but ended up getting a friend for life.

I have a quiet moment…

Kellen: I have a quiet moment and was reviewing the recent sale you conducted for me as Trustee for The Speizer Family trust. First of all having been introduced to you by Greg was a stroke of good luck. I met you and knew that you were the gal for me, and you proved that to be so.
You took on the responsibility of meeting with buyers once you listed the residence that I was selling for the family in Arcadia, which was a bit far afield from the local scene here on the Westside. It meant that you had to travel to Arcadia and be available to buyers and their representatives quiet some distance from your home base of operations. You also were tested by having to deal with a family member who was occupying the residence at the time that I listed with you, and that put limitations on the availability for occupancy by a perspective buyer. Here again, you negotiated with an eventual buyers representative and the family member involved and saw to it that a sale was concluded with the occupant, the buyer, and me, as the seller, all contented. That was a masterful conduct of business and most appreciated by me. I know of the difficulties that you faced, and never once did you ever blanche or complain to me about the listing that you undertook. So my hats off to you on doing a most remarkable job for me, and you have placed yourself at the top of my referral list for future services in your profession.
Last, but not least, you have earned the title “Friend”.

As first time homebuyers…

As first time homebuyers, we thought we’d never own a place of our own. But thanks to Kellen, our dreams became reality. She made the entire process so easy. We found our dream home Sunday during an open house and fell in love. The next day we put in an offer, Kellen did her magic, and that evening she was over at 10pm at our house to sign the paperwork. Thank goodness because there was a backup offer the next day. She went out of her way for us. In addition, she kept us updated every step of the way. Finally, at the end of escrow, there was a problem with the mortgage the last day. Kellen did her magic again, she called the president of the mortgage company and went to bat for us! We closed on time and love our new place! We had exceptional service and would definitely use Kellen again. She made our dreams come true. Thanks so much!

I would like to take this opportunity…

I would like to take this opportunity to let it be known that Kellen Flanigan knows how to maximize an opportunity to sell a property at it’s maximum value! I had never met Kellen, so she had an important task ahead of her in regards to the obstacles that she had to overcome, namely a hostile older sister that somehow believed that my parents wanted to retain the home for herself (which was far the truth). Kellen dealt with the situation with aplomb, she in fact called me exactly one time to let me know how she planned to maximize the sale of the family home. I totally agreed with her plan, which made my mind at ease. She closed the deal fast and made $350.000 on the sale which far exceeded my expectations ! I was floored of the total purchase price she had obtained. Additionally, I should mention that she accomplished all of this while my sibling had said that her plan would not work and that she was not willing to move out of the house. In other words, my sibling tried to make the sale as difficult as possible. Kellen worked right through the obstacles, pleased everyone involved, and I cannot express my gratitude to Kellen. She is a miracle worker. She took care of all the little things that can stop a sale in a heartbeat and I cannot thank her enough!

After going through a rough personal transition in my life, having Kellen help me with buying my new home was a breath of fresh air. I was very reliant on her to guide me and help me through the tediousness of the transaction. I spent the first week of my escrow period out of town and felt comfortable with Kellen handling everything. Even though we hit a rough patch with the mortgage crisis happening during our escrow period, Kellen was a source of calm throughout the storm. I was very happy to have her as my “wing-man”. In the process I have also found a dear friend.

Her attention to detail and creative ideas made it happen and I would eagerly recommend her to buyers and sellers.
