Khanh “Kelly” Tran has been a Real Estate Investment Advisor with KW Commercial since 2013, specializing in multifamily properties. As a 20-year San Gabriel Valley resident, Kelly concentrates on developing long-term relationships with local, national and international clients whose portfolios include investment grade properties in the San Gabriel Valley and surrounding areas. Kelly has completed several continuing education programs, holds three State licenses, and most recently certified as an International Property Specialist (CIPS®).
Kelly presently serves on the board as vice-chair of the Global Real Estate Committee of the Arcadia Association of Realtors (AAR). This committee focuses on growing investment opportunities in the international arena by learning different cultures and business transaction practices among international and domestic investors.
Prior to joining KW Commercial, Kelly's prior professional experience includes freelancing as a Certified Court Reporter, where she transcribed spoken or recorded speech for depositions and court proceedings. She also managed a successful family owned nail salon in Valencia, CA.
As a mother of two Eagle Scout boys, Kelly volunteered as a Parent Committee member for the Boy Scouts of America, Troops 228 and 365. In addition to participating with routine activity planning, she also served as the Eagle Advancement Chair and advised individual scouts on completing the requirements necessary to advance to Eagle Scout. She currently volunteers with a senior living community to identify fund raising opportunities to assist those residents who outlive their resources.
The Ross Minority Program in Real Estate will help Kelly further pursue real estate development in underserved communities. While there are many different ways to lend her skills and experience to help others, she is most interested in connecting developers with community leaders to invest and/or build multi-family buildings. The current emphasis in affordable housing is a long-term vision of both State and local governments, and as a real estate professional she wants to continue participating with identifying and implementing solutions for it.
