Kellen Marie Flanigan
Real Estate Agent (Broker)
Truckee - CA

Originally from Reno, this real estate professional has deep roots in the community, having moved there in the early 1970s. After completing her education in local schools, she graduated from Santa Catalina School for Girls in Monterey in 1983. Her academic journey continued at the University of Southern California, where she earned a degree in International Relations in 1987.

During her senior year, she gained valuable experience interning at Drexel Burnham Lambert in Beverly Hills, which led to her recruitment into their prestigious two-year training program in New York City. This program included rigorous graduate coursework at the New York Institute of Finance. Following the firm's collapse, she founded a Broker/Dealer firm in the 1990s, successfully expanding it to 35 employees across offices in New York and Los Angeles. Her tenure included three years on the board of the NASD in the Los Angeles district, where she focused on serving high-net-worth individuals and small institutions. Her work involved raising capital for real estate development projects and a significant REIT, which sparked her passion for the real estate sector.

In 2000, she sold her investment firm to fully commit to a career in real estate. Her initial year in the industry was spent alongside Joyce Rey, a top international agent with Coldwell Banker, where she honed her negotiation skills and client service, leveraging her financial expertise. Since December 2006, she has been a Broker in the Luxury Homes Division at Keller Williams Realty in Santa Monica, following a two-year tenure with Coldwell Banker. She has actively contributed to the Agent Leadership Council for six years, representing the top 20% of the firm, and led the finance committee to ensure profitability and revenue growth.

Recognized as one of Keller Williams' top 50 producers nationally since 2007, she now collaborates with Dickson Realty in the Luxury Portfolio Division. Outside of her professional life, she is married to Rob Stinnett, a general contractor from Reno, and they are proud parents of two adult children, Nicholas and Madison. Together, they invest in, build, remodel, and sell high-end residential properties. An avid road cyclist and skier, she also dedicates time to various animal awareness initiatives. Her credentials include GRI, CN, SRES, CRS, ILHMM, and CLHMS.
