Kidder Group Joins Pacific Sotheby's With $3B in Career Sales

The Kidder Group, a top-ranked real estate team led by Heather Kidder, joined Pacific Sotheby's International Realty's Newport Beach office, the brokerage said Monday.

The four-member team closed more than $170 million in sales volume in 2025 and ranked among the nation's top 100 small teams in the 2026 RealTrends Verified rankings published by The Wall Street Journal. Over Heather Kidder's career, the team has completed more than $3 billion in residential sales.

Kidder, a Newport Beach native and University of California, Santa Barbara graduate, has spent nearly 30 years in the local market. She grew up in a family of real estate brokers and custom home builders, she said.

"After nearly 30 years in Newport Beach real estate, I know that the most important thing we can do is continue finding better ways to serve our clients," Kidder said in a statement. "Pacific Sotheby's International Realty gives us the opportunity to pair the relationships and local knowledge we've built over decades with extraordinary global reach, marketing and a network of advisors in the markets that matter to our clients."
