A name is more than just a word. It carries a story, and every step of that story is a piece of life’s beauty. Life is made up of small steps, big dreams, and the courage to turn over a new leaf—even in challenging times. That’s exactly what we did at Verso Homes.

We are Verso Homes, and we are proud to share our story.

Realtor® & Founder, Verso Homes

Born and raised in Orange County, I began my real estate journey in 2001—guided by a belief that home is truly the center of every great life story. In 2020, during the turbulence and uncertainty of the pandemic, I saw families facing unprecedented challenges. I worked relentlessly to ensure every Verso Homes client felt supported and protected, even when life felt upside-down.

It was during these times that Verso Homes was born—not just as a company, but as a new beginning for our clients, our community, and our team.

Why “Verso”? (and what’s with the leaf?)

Verso comes from Latin, meaning “folio” or “on the turned (leaf)”—the left-hand page in an open book, signifying a fresh chapter. Our leaf logo is a symbol of new beginnings, and our color palette was inspired by the magical hues of a California sunset, capturing the heart of coastal South Orange County.

In 2022, our story grew even richer. That’s when Kayla Breneman came on board—bringing fresh energy, creativity, and a passion for helping our clients tell their own stories. Kayla helped shape Verso’s client experience and community presence, ensuring that every family felt celebrated with every new chapter they started.

Kayla’s Favorite Verso Memory: “Celebrating our clients’ milestones and capturing their family’s first moments in a new home—those are the memories that inspire us every day.”
