Natalie Klinefelter, the Broker, and Owner of The Legacy Real Estate Co. is a native to San Diego. In fact, her parents still live in the same Bay Park home she grew up in. Knowing her roots would remain in San Diego, Natalie decided to branch out to the islands where she earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Advertising from Hawaii Pacific University.
After graduating and later earning an Event Management Certificate from the University of San Diego, Natalie started a career working for the San Diego County Apartment Association in the Events Department and eventually opened her own event planning business.
While running her event company, Natalie was presented with an opportunity to join a real estate brokerage to assist with marketing and planning home sale auctions. After working just, a short time with the Brokerage, she discovered an interest in the real estate side of her position. That interest quickly grew into a passion, and she obtained her California real estate license in 2010. Real Estate was the perfect mix of marketing, planning, coordinating, and managing clients she had the knack for.
Before launching The Legacy Real Estate Co., she was working with a boutique Brokerage alongside a Broker/Investor, serving as the Director of Real Estate Sales. Her role with the company was to acquire properties to purchase, work with the investor to oversee the rehab of properties and eventually resell them. This was in addition to managing much of the day to day operations of the Brokerage. In 2016, she obtained her Real Estate Broker’s license. With years of experience and 100+ properties sold thus far, she felt opening her own brokerage was the natural next big step.
Running her own brokerage gives her greater flexibility and opportunities for creativity and innovation to better serve her clients’ real estate needs. She is excited to build on a solid foundation of seizing market opportunities, negotiating deals, reaching out to a range of industry contacts, maximizing the return on my clients’ investments, and developing marketing strategies to sell properties for top dollar. Her wealth of knowledge and work ethic have transcended the role of a traditional agent.
She has negotiated shorts sales, assisted clients with 1031 Tax Deferred Exchanges, worked with clients though the probate process and has found a passion working with Senior clients and estates. She was recognized as a San Diego Association of Realtors Silver Excellence Award Winner from 2016 through 2021. This award is given to the top 5% of agents in San Diego County based on sales volume.
When not with clients, Natalie’s life at home with her young daughters still allows her to continue to perfect the skills necessary for real estate – constant negotiations, coordinating activities, long hours, nights and weekends. Really, the jobs go hand in hand! :) Natalie is truly blessed to have a husband and family to lean on as a source of support and encouragement in life and in her career.
