Carter Kaufman | Newport Beach Real Estate
Born & Raised in Newport Beach. Building a Career in the Community He Calls Home.
For Carter Kaufman, real estate is more than a career—it’s part of his DNA. Coming from a long line of Realtors and real estate investors in Orange County, Carter likes to say, “It’s in my blood.”
Born and raised in Newport Beach, Carter brings an intimate understanding of the communities he serves, along with a passion for the homes, architecture and history that make Orange County unique. His interests range from historic properties and their preservation to cutting-edge modern and contemporary homes, giving him a perspective that spans generations of Orange County real estate.
That local knowledge has translated into an impressive career. Ranked among the Top 1% of agents in Orange County by annual sales volume, Carter has nearly $650 million in personal sales and has been recognized for his production both locally and regionally. In his first year in real estate, he was named his brokerage’s Rookie of the Year, ranking as the region’s top-producing first-year agent among 3,500 new agents.
Carter’s success, however, isn’t simply about sales numbers. His approach begins with understanding the person behind the transaction. He takes the time to learn his clients’ “why”—what motivates them, what inspires them and what they hope to accomplish. From there, he looks for creative ways to add value, connect opportunities and create an experience that extends well beyond the closing table.
“I think I’m successful because I look at real estate as an opportunity to connect the dots for people, and if there are no dots to connect, I’ll go find them.”
Q: What has kept you here and what do you think makes Newport Beach such a special place to call home?
A: It’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. It’s also one of the safest and most practical places to call home. I’m very blessed to live and work in this area.
Q: What is the first thing you want to understand about a client when you begin working together?
A: I’d like to understand the lens through which they’re looking at their real estate goals. The purpose behind the goal is as important to me as the goals themselves.
Q: What do you think sets your approach to helping clients apart from other agents?
A: When you hire me, you get me. Also, I genuinely love what I do and have fun doing it. When you pair that with nearly $700 million in career sales, it makes for a transaction that’s as enjoyable as it can be and is backed by experience.
