Kayla Dalton approaches real estate like game day: with a plan, a calm head, and the confidence from years of writing the playbook. A former Division I gymnast and athletic operations leader, she knows how to manage pressure, execute under time constraints, and bring calm, strategic energy to every deal. Whether buying your first home, upgrading, or investing with intention, Kayla helps you move forward with structure, confidence, and zero wasted motion. “I run things. That’s just who I am,” she says with a laugh. “I run my house, I run my schedule, and I run my transactions—start to finish.” With nearly a decade of experience in Northern Nevada real estate, Kayla thrives where others stress—managing timelines, guiding high-impact decisions, and helping her clients move forward with clarity. A former Division I athlete with a “let’s get it done” mindset, she leads with calm confidence and the right amount of take-charge energy. “You tell me your goal,” she says. “Then it becomes my goal, too.” And it’s not just talk. Kayla genuinely loves the mechanics of real estate: the disclosures, the negotiations, the constant pivots of a fast-moving market. Her athletic administration background shows how she plans, adapts, and keeps everyone on track. Kayla works with a wide range of buyers and sellers throughout Northern Nevada—including Sparks, Reno, Carson Valley, and surrounding communities. She’s especially experienced with investor clients relocating from California and young families navigating big life transitions. No matter who she’s working with, her goal stays the same: to run the deal so her clients don’t have to—bringing clarity, calm, and results to every move. When clients describe Kayla, a theme always emerges: reliable, direct, and all-in. One of her favorite stories comes from a listing in Sparks, where she gave sellers a detailed prep list—paint this, fix that, update those. They followed it to the letter, and within 24 hours of hitting the market, they had a strong offer in hand. “They trusted the process, and we nailed the result,” she says. Another time, a buyer was ready to offer full price on a long-sitting listing. Before writing it up, Kayla called the listing agent and learned the sellers had recently rejected an offer significantly below asking. She advised her clients to come in just above that. The offer was accepted, and they closed well under the listing price. “It was a reminder that asking one extra question can save someone six figures,” she says. “That’s why I’m here.” Born and raised outside Chicago, Kayla lives in Sparks with her husband Jake, daughter Lucca, son Cash, and their two dogs. She balances her high-performance mindset with humor and honesty, like how her Instagram profile, a mix of market tips and memes about toddler chaos, describes her: “Real estate advisor. Toddler mom survivor. Because they may still kill me.” That’s Kayla—driven, direct, and delightfully real. She makes sure you feel seen, not sold. No matter the move, Kayla isn’t just someone you hire. She’s someone you count on. Kayla prides herself in building connections that last. She goes beyond basic representation for her clients by educating them through every step of the transaction and ensures they have a complete understanding of the buying or selling process.
