Kristin

My name is Kristin and I've had my real estate license since June 2004.

I would like to give you my back story of why and how I started in real estate.

I am a Mother of 3+1, Brittany 23-Josh17 and Jacquelin 14 and my guardian daughter Andrea 17.  I've been married to my husband Claudio for 18 years, he is a Fire Capt with Contra Costa Country, CA.

My profession when the kids were younger was Banking.  I loved the people and the job, however, the income was minimal.  My husband was hurt on the job, (nothing serious), however, it opened my eyes to the fact that what happen if something really did happen, since his Job is the #3 most dangerous job in the U.S.  How was I going to take care of my kids?  I asked God for direction.  He sent someone to me 2 times offering me a job in real estate.  You guessed it on the 3rd time I listened. 

I quit my job at the bank for 100% commission Job.  I started in the mortgage lending side.  Which taught me so much, however, I really wanted to spead my wings and make a difference in families lives.  I've had a lot of bumps and bruises along the way, however, I know  that what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.  I have been very blessed to have increadible mentors that are helping me along the way, but my thirst for knowledge is what makes me go on.  I'm very excited about real estate at this time since I know that the people that will survive this Market will be the ones that truly love the profession of Real Estate and will be the true leaders to what is to come.  I look forward to learning from you all.
