Did you know?

Kristin took into consideration that since her family had already established a name in the real estate business, maybe this was the perfect opportunity to pursue her creativity within that direction. After exploring the real estate world herself as a realtor, Kristin knew she was on to something, however sales alone wasn’t enough. She needed to see her clients in their new home in a new environment. Finally she realized it. It made perfect sense; she could take the extra step for her clients and fuse her love for design and knowledge to not just sell a house, but make it home. It's not about another transaction, it is about loving where you live.
