Happy Clients... Is what is all about!

Another Happy Seller! 🏡

This Portola Hills condo had been sitting on the market for 45 days with fewer than five showings and no offers before the sellers reached out to me.

Instead of hoping for a different outcome, we changed the strategy.

✔️ New photography
✔️ Fresh marketing
✔️ Repositioned the listing
✔️ Consistent follow-up

The result? Under contract in less than 30 days.

Every home has a story, and sometimes it's not the home that needs to change. It's the marketing behind it.

Thank you to my wonderful clients for trusting me with the sale of your investment property and for this incredible review. It means more than you know.

If your home isn't getting the attention it deserves, let's have a conversation before you make your next move.

Portola Hills Seller Testimonial for Realtor Kelly Turbeville



About Kelly Turbeville


Hi, I'm Kelly, a local Realtor, writer, and the voice behind Portola Hills Living.


I've been helping buyers and sellers throughout South Orange County for more than 20 years, but Portola Hills has always held a special place in my heart. It's one of those communities people discover by accident... and then never want to leave.


From miles of hiking and biking trails to Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park, neighborhood parks, community events, and the small-town feel that's becoming harder to find in Orange County, Portola Hills offers a lifestyle that goes far beyond the homes themselves.


Through Portola Hills Living, my goal is simple: keep neighbors informed, spotlight local businesses and events, share market insights, and help homeowners make confident real estate decisions. Whether you're a longtime resident, thinking about buying, or simply curious about what's happening in the neighborhood, I hope you'll find something valuable here.


If you ever have questions about the local market or are considering buying or selling a home, I'd love to be a resource.


Because home isn't just where you live. It's where your story unfolds.

Location: Portola Hills, Lake Forest, CA 92679, USA

101,000 Reason's Why Now is a Great Time to Sell your Portola Hills Home

  SOLD!   We just closed on this lovely home in Portola Hills, rather quickly I must say.  After just 5 days on the market, multiple offers, we went under contract and closed in just 15 days!  Setting a RECORD BREAKING PRICE OF $1,300,000! Is that too fast for you... Lol.  Never fear along with our negotiations we negotiated a free lease back to give the sellers time to make their move!  We always recommend a shorter escrow if possible as a lot can happen during a real estate transactions.  Our clients, who after loving this home and neighborhood, made the decision to downsize, but we also understand that was not an easy decision.. especially with views like these!  This 3 bedroom, Serenado paired home is a popular floor plan with over 1900 sqft.   The minute you walk in, guest feel drawn to the open living space and expansive yard.  Probably the largest yard in the tract.  No wonder we set a record breaking price in the commun...
