Exclusive: Kendra Wilkinson—Los Angeles’ Real Estate Agent to the Stars

From Reality Royalty to L.A.’s Real Estate Queen: Kendra Wilkinson Is Selling the Dream

Hollywood Hills Magazine is proud to present an exclusive feature on Kendra Wilkinson—a name made famous in the world of reality television, but now rapidly earning respect as one of Hollywood’s rising luxury real estate professionals.

From Playboy Mansion to Luxury Listings

Born and raised in San Diego, Kendra first entered the spotlight as one of Hugh Hefner’s girlfriends during The Girls Next Door, before starring in her own series Kendra and Kendra on Top over a decade thereafter. But this story isn’t about fame—it’s about transformation.

After earning her California real estate license in June 2020, Kendra joined The Agency and later Douglas Elliman, two of LA’s most elite realty firms. In Kendra Sells Hollywood, her Discovery+ docuseries, viewers watched her break down preconceptions and prove she had the tenacity and business acumen required to succeed in one of the most competitive real estate markets in the world.

A Realtor Beyond the Spotlight

While celebrity connections could have been her shortcut into deals, it’s Kendra’s hard work, humility, and attention to design and detail that now define her professional identity. “People assumed I passed my real estate exam for the sake of television. So there’s barriers I had to break down,” she told The List. Today, she specializes in architectural homes across Beverly Hills, Malibu, Santa Monica, Calabasas, and the Hollywood Hills—bringing a sharp interior design eye and deep market knowledge to each listing.

Kendra’s clients—many of whom are industry insiders—rely on her refined taste and unwavering discretion. She speaks passionately about staging, negotiating and curating luxury experiences that reflect the prestige of both property and client.

Overcoming Challenges with Grit

Kendra’s journey into real estate has meant more than a career pivot—it’s been a path of personal reinvention. In 2023, she suffered a severe panic attack and was hospitalized. That moment ended up defining her next chapter: prioritizing mental health, resetting, and then re-entering the business stronger than ever.

In May 2024 she briefly announced she was leaving the industry, citing stress and family responsibilities. Days later, she clarified: “I just had a really bad day… I’m back in it. I have so many deals I’m working on right now.”.

Why Hollywood Hills Clients Should Work with Kendra

​•​Unmatched resilience: She proved that breaking into elite luxury markets takes more than visibility—it takes results.

​•​Situational awareness: Kendra understands that the emotional tie to a home, especially here in Hollywood Hills, often surpasses square footage—she listens first.

​•​Discretion and integrity: Despite her fame, she fiercely prioritizes confidentiality and respect for her high-net-worth clients.

​•​Eye for elegance: Every home she presents is staged to feel like a Hollywood set—curated, elevated and intentional.

What’s Next for Kendra

At age 39, Kendra is more focused than ever. She recently shared that she currently has “no interest in dating men,” choosing instead to channel all her energy into her real estate business and continuing to support her children—ages 15 and 11—post-divorce. Whether she opts for a return to TV or simply powers forward behind the scenes, it’s clear she’s building something sustainable—and deeply authentic.

Kendra Wilkinson’s story is proof that reinvention works—if you approach it with purpose, heart and discipline. Today, she’s not just a celebrity reborn as an agent; she’s a trusted resource for anyone seeking Hollywood Hills luxury real estate from someone who’s proven she can thrive beyond the spotlight.
