Before launching Equestrian Real Estate, Caren was a top ranked commercial broker, completing many investment transactions including the sale of two office towers in downtown San Diego. She was honored by SDCCAR as the “Deal Maker of the Year” for her role in an innovative $32 million redevelopment transaction. Caren’s equestrian riding experience ranges from humble beginnings as a working student to successful show jumping competition as a professional rider at the Grand Prix level.
A long-term resident of Del Mar, California, Caren loves her neighborhood and appreciates serving valued clients with all their real estate needs. She and her husband, Craig Kelley, have two children, both of whom attended Del Mar schools and graduated from Torrey Pines High School.
