Brown Harris Stevens

Certified Negotiation Expert

With warmth, resourcefulness, and market knowledge, Kristi helps buyers, sellers, and renters navigate the New York real estate market. Her client's satisfaction is the primary goal of every transaction.

One thing that distinguishes Kristi's approach is her focus on communication and relationship-building. In New York City, she worked as a Seniors Move Manager, helping numerous families downsize, organize, and move home. She also trained as a Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES) and has an empathic approach when helping the elderly.

Before real estate, Kristi funneled her drive for excellence into a long career as a professional dancer and college professor. She earned an MFA in Dance from The Ohio State University and traveled extensively, choreographing and teaching throughout the United States and Mexico.

Kristi's journey into real estate began when she and her architect husband purchased their first multi-family home in Brooklyn and transformed a distressed property into a home for their growing family plus income-generating rental units. These experiences, along with her 20 years in New York City, have made Kristi a go-to referral source for clients needing design, home services, or local recommendations for culture, food, and happenings throughout the boroughs.

Kristi understands that purchasing or selling a property can be among the most exciting and challenging things we do in life. With poise and aplomb, she leads her clients from putting their home on the market to a signed contract of sale; and from that first nervous day of looking to the thrilling first night in a new home.

'Working with Kristi to stage and sell my apartment was a delight. I had previously tried to sell my apartment and only got offers well below the asking price. Her strategy for staging, marketing and showing were a great success. After the first open house I had several offers over the asking price. She and her team were super helpful and there every step of the way, making the process easy for me. I couldn’t recommend her more.' - Lynn Neuman
