Spyro Kemble is Leading His Team to Property Prosperity WRITTEN BY: TAMARA PHILIPS PHOTOGRAPHED BY: ANDREA DOMJAN
Spyro Kemble, one of Orange County’s most respected real estate agents, is causing a spark in the luxury real estate market with partner Albert Del Rio. With Kemble’s success, charming demeanor, and hunger for a great listing, it’s no wonder he has caught the attention of Bravo-TV producers to spearhead Orange County’s new reality show in which two real estate teams go head-to-head in a competition to see who can rule this town. Think “Million Dollar Listing,” but edgier—and right in our own backyard! Starring alongside several leading ladies in Orange County’s luxury real estate scene, he and the Relegance Group ensure substance and drama for the show. “I’ve been doing this for 30 years, and at 59 I am who I am. I have to be congruent to myself— unfiltered,” Kemble says. Recently the crew filmed at notable director/writer Steve Oedekerk's $12 million estate in San Juan Capistrano. Kemble is listing the home and he and the Relegance Group are eager to showcase the stunning two-acre property on the show to a national audience. “I am extremely well-known in my four walls of Newport and Laguna, but I may not be known other places,” he says. “So, this show really enables me to expand on my brand.” The open house was five-star with tequila tastings, cigar bar, and catered hors d'oeuvres. Kemble is fortunate enough to be at a point in his career where he loves what he does so much that it doesn’t even feel like work. I mean, showing clients around via private boat tour with a cigar in hand doesn’t sound like a horrible way to spend an afternoon. But above all, he enjoys the reward of doing business. “I love being able to make people’s dreams come true,” he says. “And the confidence I’m able to transfer to Albert while I’m away is priceless. Albert is a once-in-a-life-time partner that I have complete trust and confidence in to service my clients in the manner they are accustomed to.” Spyro has been married to his beautiful wife Tracy for the past 23 years who he credits for much of his success in life. He is the President of the Newport Beach Association of Realtors and he is also actively involved with the W.I.N. Foundation, a nonprofit outreach organization seeking to help abused women and foster self-esteem recovery, and serves as a volunteer board member.
