You’re ready to make a move. I’m here to make it happen.
Psst … I see you checking Zillow and Redfin 10 times a day waiting for that perfect-for-you listing to pop up.
It’s an exciting and frustrating experience these days, to say the least. I’m here to inject some hope into your home search with a little-known fact:
%
of homes sell off market
Off-market properties that are never visible through the MLS or popular sites like Redfin and Zillow.
As an active agent with lifelong roots in Granite Bay, I have access to exclusive listings — and as my client, you’ll get the inside scoop on them too.
Now I can’t promise that I’ll find you an off-market home, but I can promise that you’ll never have to sit around and wonder what I’m doing on your behalf.
As a natural go-getter who thrives on making things happen and making my clients’ day, you can bet that I am working my connections, making phone calls, and doing everything I can to find you the right home, even when it seems like there are no homes to be found.
Kristin was a star who, on her own, helped us coordinate an off-market opportunity, and lo and behold we ended up with our dream house within 3 months of our search! Kristin was always cool as a cucumber, friendly and funny, and actually made the housing search process FUN (no kidding!). Highly recommend. Wish we could give 6 stars.

Buyer
When we found our dream home (the one we ultimately purchased), Kristin even went to services at the nearby church to ask for the full schedule of their bell ringing, since we had been concerned about the noise. We never felt pressured to bid on houses we didn’t want or to bid more than we were comfortable with. They presented excellent, objective information about the market and empowered us to make a decision that was right for us. It is very telling that the house we purchased got 18 offers, and even though ours was not the highest, it was accepted.

Kristin had great contacts that were able to help us quickly evaluate a variety of remodeling projects – from a contractor to help us get a sense of cost, to an architect and even a city planning specialist. Ultimately, being able to consult with these experts was what gave us the confidence to purchase the home we are in today.

Here’s how it works
I worked as a top-producing agent in the crazy competitive San Francisco market for years. Believe me when I tell you there’s nothing I haven’t seen. As a result, I’ve refined my process to ensure you have the best chance possible at finding your home (even during low inventory times) and putting in the winning offer.
STEP ONE
Understanding your needs
During this essential first step, I’ll get crystal clear on what you want and need in a home. That includes …
- A new-buyer consultation to get to know you, describe the process, and answer all of your burning real estate questions
- My in-depth buyer questionnaire, which is designed to help me curate custom lists of potential homes for you every week (I do not just do automated searches)
- Get your pre-approval from a reputable lender
STEP TWO
The Home Search
You don’t ever have to sit around and wonder what I’m doing on your behalf. While you go about your daily routine, I’ll be …
- Networking with agents to learn about upcoming listings that meet your criteria
- Touring properties every week to preview properties with you in mind
- Sending you curated lists of recommended properties (as well as properties I’ve ruled out and why). I don’t rely on automated searches.
STEP THREE
Writing Your Strongest Possible Offer
If you’ve been following the market, then you know how misleading list prices can be. It makes it difficult to know what you can afford. I’ll guide you through the process by …
- Doing a detailed comps analysis that takes into account upgrades, layout, views and more
- Calling the listing agent and gathering info
- Reviewing the disclosure package with you
- Writing your winning offer
STEP FOUR
Acceptance
Time to do a happy dance! While you make all your big plans for your new home…
- Guide you through the escrow period (the time between acceptance and closing) which is typically 21 – 30 days.
- Handle the little details that come up during this period.
And my job doesn’t end after I help you close. If you’re part of my village, I’m always here for you. Do you need a painter, help selecting new bathroom tile, someone to baby proof your house, or a plumber to fix the leaking sink on Christmas Day? I’ve got you
