Kristi Ives

Kristi has lived in the East Bay for over 33 years. After attending Saint Mary’s College in Moraga, Kristi interned then worked for Shell Oil Company (corporate) where she negotiated multi-million dollar buy/sell agreements and received several recognition awards for performance excellence. Kristi then moved into software sales with Softworks/EMC and consistently exceeded both growth and revenue goals.

Kristi has been a successful, highly respected Lamorinda real estate agent for over 21 years. Her strong work ethic combined with her professional business and seasoned negotiating skills has earned her a place as one of the top Lamorinda (Lafayette, Moraga, Orinda) Realtors® year after year. She’s a knowledgeable focused agent with a sterling reputation for customer service and follow-through. She brings personal, client-focused attention to every transaction.

Whether buying or selling, Kristi goes above and beyond what is expected of her and constantly strives to exceed her clients' expectations. Kristi quickly realized that real estate wasn’t just about buying or selling a home. It’s about the people and their life stories and events that trigger a real estate transaction. Kristi believes in relationships, not just real estate. Some of Kristi's past clients have described their experience working with her as "head and shoulders above the rest" "extremely responsive, knowledgeable, with great client service and an impeccable reputation.”

When purchasing her own first home, Kristi couldn’t imagine living anywhere other than Lamorinda. She and her husband have lived in Lafayette for over 23 years and are raising their two daughters here. They are actively involved in Lafayette Partners in Education (LPIE), PTA, Rancho Swim & Tennis Club, their church, and a variety of local sports programs.
