Kaleb Yates - Licensed Real Estate Salesperson

About Kaleb

Kaleb Yates has worn many hats in his life, including lead carpenter foreman, award winning

documentary filmmaker, master finger-style guitar instructor, and REALTOR®! 

Kaleb was born in southern California, but at the age of 6, his parents answered the “Call of the Wild” by

moving the family to the Alaskan Bush where he learned to live off the land without running water,

roads, or electricity. He played chess for entertainment, traveled by dog sled, and enjoyed hunting,

fishing and eating snow ice cream. Eventually, his family would return to civilization. Kaleb attended

school in the Christmas-themed town of North Pole, Alaska.  After high school, Kaleb’s love of the arts

led him to study at several postsecondary institutions: Musicians Institute in Hollywood, CA; Pacific

Northwest Film Scoring Program in Seattle, WA; and University of Alaska, Fairbanks.

Along the way, Kaleb became involved in the film and television industry working every position from

Stunt Man to Editor to Director. His film credits range from cameraman for various Discovery Channel

programs to “sailor” on Pirates of the Caribbean. You might catch his documentary Letters to Santa on

PBS around the holidays!  

Kaleb also has over 20 years of experience in the building trades. He worked as a lead journeyman

carpenter on numerous multimillion dollar commercial, residential and military projects across the

island of Maui and throughout Alaska. 

His experience working as a contractor for various real estate agents inspired him to switch hats once

more and acquire his real estate sales agent license in the “Friendship State” of Texas. He lives there

now with his wife, Angela, who works as an archaeologist, and their three children. 

Kaleb quickly became one of the top producing agents at his brokerage and attributes his success to his

personal motto: “Strategy. Integrity. Heart.” 

“What I have to offer my clients is a unique array of skill sets acquired from a blessed and multifaceted

life.”-Kaleb Yates, Realtor®
