Coleen Brennan: A Visionary in Luxury Real Estate

For nearly three decades, Coleen Brennan has set the standard for excellence in luxury real estate, combining an unrelenting drive, deep market insight, and an unwavering commitment to her clients. From her early days as a successful entrepreneur in the snow sports industry—where she not only built a thriving manufacturer’s rep firm but also piloted her own plane to service clients—Coleen has always demonstrated a rare blend of ambition, expertise, and service-oriented leadership. Her transition into real estate in 1986 was more than a career shift; it was the beginning of a legacy.

Today, Coleen is recognized among the top 1% of real estate agents nationally, earning a reputation for her strategic approach, elite negotiation skills, and impeccable service. With an impressive portfolio of high-value transactions, she has played a pivotal role in shaping the Newport Coast luxury market—setting record-breaking prices, navigating shifting market dynamics, and guiding clients with unparalleled precision. In 2002, she set the benchmark in Newport Coast by selling Pelican Hill’s first resale home for $11.5 million, a testament to her ability to recognize and maximize property value.

Her deep understanding of market trends and relentless work ethic have earned her not just accolades, but the trust and loyalty of her clientele—over 85% of her business comes from repeat clients and referrals. She attributes her success to her hands-on, client-first approach. “Real estate is about location. Being a great real estate agent is about service. My clients are always my priority.”

Beyond Newport Beach, Coleen’s expertise extends across Park City & Deer Valley, Utah, where she is also licensed, and Punta Mita, Mexico, where she owns a villa and helps clients navigate the luxury market. As a proud member of REALM, an exclusive network of the top 1% of agents across 100+ brands, and Sotheby’s International Realty, she collaborates with elite professionals worldwide, ensuring her clients have global exposure and access to premium real estate opportunities.

A true advocate for her clients, Coleen goes beyond buying and selling—she educates and empowers. Through her partnership with TaxWealth, she helps sellers minimize capital gains taxes, saving them up to 99% on taxes owed for selling their PRIMARY RESIDENCES  or INVESTMENT PROPERTIES. This commitment to financial strategy and wealth preservation sets her apart as more than just a real estate agent—she is a trusted advisor.

Coleen’s passion for real estate is matched only by her love for adventure. An accomplished athlete, pilot, fly-fisher, and surfer, she embraces challenges with the same tenacity that defines her career. Her journey—from her modest beginnings outside Boston to becoming one of the nation’s top luxury real estate professionals—reflects her belief that obstacles are meant to be overcome, and excellence is achieved through commitment, strategy, and passion.

Whether guiding a first-time buyer or brokering a multi million-dollar deal, Coleen Brennan is more than a real estate agent—she is a powerhouse of knowledge, experience, and dedication.
