Solution-Oriented

Gail Kiely brings thoughtful strategy and a team-first approach to real estate transactions across the Beach Cities.

Home. It’s a word that South Bay Realtor® Gail Kiely knows well. Her childhood was a Norman Rockwell painting come to life. A hometown called Mountain View. Roller- skating through the neighborhood with her two sisters. Hitting golf balls with her dad and racing home for dinner when her mom rang an old dairy-truck bell.

Even though the family relocated fairly often, with each move her mother decorated the new house and made it a home, and her father gave the landscaping curb appeal. Gail’s parents, who are nearing their 70th wedding anniversary, ensured that their home was full of energy. The family regularly gathered at the table for lively conversation and Mom’s good cooking.

Gail attended Southern Methodist University’s Cox School of Business, where she met her husband during freshman year. They married after college and moved from Texas to Los Angeles, eventually purchasing their first home in the Sand Section of Manhattan Beach. Five years later they traded their ocean view for their current Hermosa Beach home and large yard.

Gail worked at a tech-focused advertising agency and as a marketing manager for Coors Brewing Company before her children were born. (They are now high school and college students.) Then she pivoted her focus to health and wellness, earning Pilates credentials and gaining a certification as a holistic health coach.

“I’m very health-conscious, and working out is a nonnegotiable. I do yoga or Pilates six days a week at local studios, and I love cooking healthy meals—a gift from my mom.”

Gail then ventured into real estate work—an industry that her previous careers prepared her for: brand storytelling from advertising, strategic planning from the beer industry and client care from wellness. Real estate lets Gail bring it all together to guide clients through pivotal life transitions. And where better to do so than in the area that has become home?

“I love the vitality of the South Bay,” she shares. “And I love how we’re a tight-knit community. We have all the conveniences of a big city but with small-town charm.”

Clients appreciate the calmness and tenacity Gail brings to the real estate process. She’s a solution-oriented agent who listens to their needs, thinks creatively, communicates clearly and always prepares for inevitable curveballs.

“Don’t let her gentle and kind demeanor fool you—she knows how to handle a tough negotiation as well,” says her client, developer Ryan Dorff. “Working with Gail on the sale of this home could not have been managed better. She assisted with contractors, oversaw the staging efforts, and her use of images, descriptions and overall marketing plan really showcased the home. You’ll be in good hands from start to finish when you partner with Gail on your next buying or selling opportunity.”

“This business is about my clients’ dreams and desires,” Gail points out. “I’m excited to guide them through whatever’s next: right-sizing, upsizing or relocating across the country—always with white-glove service and local expertise.”
