After spending years considering a career in Real Estate, I finally made the jump in 2021 and am thrilled to work on the very successful Jessica Haro Team with Compass!
Previous to real estate I was running my own business, a Zero-Waste retail shop in my hometown of Lafayette. The mantra, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle is very important to me and it was an honor to bring that mantra to life for my community. My main background though was in hospitality, having spent many years in the wine and restaurant industry, from management to the high school frozen yogurt shop job - I loved getting to know new people and make sure that their experiences with me and the restaurant or winery that I worked at, were memorable, fun and filled with positivity.
Pair that background with my love of interior and exterior design and it’s just the right combination! I care deeply that my clients have a positive, seemless transaction when purchasing a home and I will go above and beyond to make sure that that happens.
Born and raised in Walnut Creek, I followed my brother to school at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and stayed for six years before moving back to the Bay. I’ve lived in Lafayette for twelve years now, but I‘ve also lived in Pleasant Hill, Clayton, Concord, and my favorite of all, Oakland. All this to say, I know the East Bay like the back of my hand. My dedication, can-do attitude and love of the job will always be brought to the table and I’m excited to share this journey with you!

"We worked with Kristin on our 3rd (and hopefully last for a long time!) home purchase, and we can easily say that Kristin is one of the very best! We've had some great experiences with realtors, and we've had some GOD AWFUL ones. Kristin restored our faith in the business so to speak lol.
She was so attentive every step of the way, even long after closing, checking in on us to make sure we had gotten services from our home warranty folks and that we were happy. She was knowledgeable, and had resources to share with us at every turn, even offering support with no expectation of anything in return before we started working together, which was why we decided to work with her in the first place! She is so kind and genuine, and above all she was supportive and listened to us. She worked tirelessly over the few weeks we were intensely looking for our new home, and when we asked for an extremely quick close, she managed everything without any significant hitches. We were in a whirlwind in our lives, and Kristin is the one that got us through and got us everything we had hoped for.
Kristin is so awesome, the only regret we have that we are in our "permanent home" as our son is calling it, is that we won't have the opportunity to work with her again. We hope to stay in touch with this phenomenal human being!"

"My wife and I have bought and sold three houses in the last 5 years. Our last couple experiences were not very good (to state it mildly) and left us feeling quite pessimistic. Kristin was a breath of fresh air and restored our faith in real estate professionals. Kristin was on the ball. She was always one step ahead and handled the details so we didn't have to worry or stress about them. Additionally, she isn't pushy. She let us know what her experience has shown to be most advantageous to get the best price, but then left us to decide what was best for our family without any pressure.
I don't make a recommendation to friends and family lightly, the last thing I would want is for a friend or family member to have a bad experience due to my recommendation. However, I will be recommending Kristin to all my family and friends. I can say confidently that she is one of the best realtors out there. We will be working with her again when we have another real estate transaction!"
